Odd but good to know. You have a wakelock that is forcing.your device awake. Check your running processes first and I would also check out betterbatterystats. There is a free version released by the developer on xda (as an xda edition)

I have better battery stats. I will charge up and run for an hour and see the the apparently says. Then I will wipe system and reflash rom w/pb w/o unthrottle.

Hello. I heard about PB in a different forum and had to come hear to check it out myself. Have read all 498 posts took me 2 days

Everyone talks about 3g, but saw some users were applying PB to their bionics. Does the unthrottle mod affect lte?
While on that subject? Has anyone tried PB on a RAZR?

As far as I'm aware untrhottle only affects 3g and currently the razr is unsupported. Which razr are you talking about.

The extracted PB2.2 folder is in the incorrect location. Make sure it is in /sdcard/extracted/ and then open terminal and type
Code: 
 sh /*/*/*/setup.sh
I will be editing the OP's soon to make sure everything is squared away. May be utilitizing my 5th post in there as another place for more info.

Unthrottle is universal for all devices as long as settings.db exists in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings

Hey BMc, I ran the option 6 in pb and when checking cron it says " [- cron is a bad number "and that it's not running, I tried to attach a pic but it just crashes, any ideas on what went wrong?
Click to expand...
Busybox version most likely. In terminal type after root:
Code: 
 crond
and see if it errors out or returns a #. if it doesnt error out type
Code: 
pgrep crond
and see if it gives you a number. if it doesnt error out or give you a number, then type this:

Code: 
crond -c /data/cron
and then type pgrep crond

If it errors out on either of those you dont have the necessary busybox commands and I would reccommend dropping down to v1.19.0.git.adrynalyne until I add in all the necessary commands into the zip.

I was referring to the verizon version of the RAZR (XT912).
I was wondering if the 3g hacks would affect LTE connectivity -this phone has connectivity issues as it is.
Thinking about trying this, but I'm not man enough to try it without an SBF to fallback.
Thanks for your response!

Unthrottle should work. And with the clockwork on boot hack flashed( it also enables init.d support) the others will become supported as well except for the recovery swap. I will have to add in the correct files for the flashing of flashme.zip for the razr and I will get that done later today if you are willing to attempt this.

hello everyone, I have re-installed PB2.2 last night on my Droid X running VorteX RC1 and so far it is running smooth as butter, I'll keep you informed.

Thanks BMc08GT for all your hard work.

Ok, BMc. Sounds great (and scary) I'll man up and will try it!
Let me know when you are ready.

I am running a droid bionic with Kin3tx, using the 1.19.0 busybox you mention and here is what I get when typing the commands you mention:
pgrep crond
494
1923
4987

crond -c /data/cron

pgrep crond
494
1923
4987
5134

The when I go to check mods it says:
[: 494
1923
4987
5134: bad number
Cron is not Running

Any ideas on how to get the Cron working?
