The method TP uses for the acceleration does not involve any recurring process that consumes energy. All our tests indicate that it does not cause battery drain.

| I'll test further and make a proper reboot before going to bed, enable TP and see how it goes tommorrow morning. (with phone fully charged) |

The best test is fresh reboot, flight mode, nothing is running, leave untouched overnight, record battery consumption. Then repeat the procedure next night under the exact same conditions, but with the program to be tested running.

Hi Lisa, i made another test tonight : battery 70% gsm/3G/BT ON and TP ON
This morning i had 63%; sounds ok to me. |

Please do another test tonight, with the exact same conditions, except that TP is OFF, and then report here the difference. This will be the final answer about battery drain by TP.

So, according to your testing, can we conclude that TP has no significant battery drain?

utterly simple and utterly outstanding little application!
im very impressed.....
if it wasnt for 3rd party dev's like CPS, the big companies products would be much less appealing.
this has officially made the P990i the phone it should have been at factory preset..
im sure SE are watching your developments with great interest....
top class!

-> Yes Lisa, i can confirm having test every night (once with TP, then without) that it doesn't affect battery consumption. I could not reproduce my battery drain issue (think i'd left wifi on or smg like that).
Great great product  |

I think what CPS did with this tool was that CPS identified actually where in the firmware configuration was that setting that enables/disables this transitions.
So, UIQ3 supports this but for P990 users that bit setting was not presented in the UI.
So, what TP is doing is to switch off/on that particular bit somewhere.
TP can't consume any battery because nothing is running in the background anyway. |

That would indeed have been the nice solution, but we could not achieve it, due to OS rectrictions and lack of documentation.

Wrong. TP has a background process for doing the acceleration. On the other hand, it indeed does not consume significant energy.

@Lisa@CPS
how do you remove from a W950i after the trail period has expired?
I am trying to disable it, so I can remove it, but the registration window pops up, and the changing dispaly acceleration from on to off doesn't work.
Any advice appreciated!

Just uninstall like any other application. Main menu / Tools / Control Panel / Other / Uninstall => select from list.

excellent! updated yesterday to CDA162007/1 R4B03, running autocam, tweak peaks & swiss manager pro (trial for now).
Generally use it without the flip anyway, but is there any word on a version of flip extend for UIQ3? |

Unfortunately no chance on UIQ3 to do the kind of tricks that Flip Extender requires. The operating system became way too closed.

shame, would've been handy at times, ah well, prefer it with the flip removed most of the time anyway |
