HTC One X battery life boosted 10-20% with unofficial Tegra 3 power management fix

While putting the final touches on the HTC One X software, HTC’s developers managed to place an application in the wrong directory, causing some issues for the Tegra 3 power management software on the phone. The misplaced NvCPLSvc.apk file was discovered in the /system/bin folder by mike1986 while developing a custom ROM for the HTC One X. To correct HTC’s mistake, users can push the file to /system/app via ADB. Those who have already tried this fix are reporting a 10-20 percent improvement in battery performance on the HTC One X.

HTC releases new APIs for the beats, lockscreen, device management and MediaLink

HTC has announced that they are opening a little more the OpenSense SDKand API audio Beats, the lockscreen sense 4.0, mobile device management and the MediaLink HD system. This opens many new features for developers of applications and applications can include these calls so that they are differentiated on the phones HTC Sense, but function on all phones of the same generation of software.

In layman ' s conditions, this means that people who build applications can now include things like support Audio Beats, shortcuts and widgets lockscreen, through sites like htcsense.com remote control and take advantage of the capacity of the wharf MediaLink HD streaming media. If you have a phone of sense 4.0 , you ' ll get all of these benefits, and applications can be written for users without a sense 4.0 phone get the same exact app, without the features and functionality of meaning. That ' s least amount of work for developers and it means updated faster and better - something like all the Android junkies.

The new SDK OpenSense will be available in the coming weeks, in the meantime, we can prepare for things like a video player that uses with Beats Audio, with a widget lockscreen or Web app to control, streaming to your television via MediaLink. I think that we ' re ready.
