Hi,
First, apologies if it is the not the right place for this question. I
tried to put this question in the meego forums today but for some
reason it didn't allow me to log-in even. Said access denied.
My question was does MeeGo (specially for Handset) allow different
modes of operation?
There could be times when the user might only need essential features
like Phone, SMS, Contacts and Alarm. This could be probably to save
battery when he is on a budget.
The idea here is to have a smart-phone (regular/default) mode and a
basic-phone mode (only Phone, SMS, Contacts, Alarm and any other
necessary/dependent processes).
When the user opts for the basic-phone mode, the device should be
running only modules/processes related to Phone, SMS, Contacts, Alarm,
Cell Radio, Battery, Desktop, etc. If a process is not needed to run
for any of the basic-mode specified features, that process should
clearly not run at all.
This probably (hoping) would result in battery saving and also faster
response times for the specified features in that mode.
how is this different from the user just not starting any apps ?
the user already has the ability to not starting any apps and get this
behavior...
Well, not quite.
As per: http://apidocs.meego.com/mtf/prestart.html - MTF applications at least
can
be prestarted, meaning they'll be running in the background with no UI present,
without user intervention.
that does not mean they actually consume power in any shape or form.
