[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Wiping battery stats will do more harm than good if you don't properly calibrate the battery. Let it charge fully, wipe stats, let it drain completely and then do a full charge again. Otherwise, your battery might die super quickly.

Although I'm honestly not too sure on how different batteries are effected, which is something I should probably look into before I get mine in the mail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rl0:
How do you wipe the Stats?

And how do you Calabrate it.

I usually just wipe battery stats when installing a new ROM/kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .torrented:
Same here... and to OP I just got new 1800mAh batteries and im going through the charge cycles... no real issue with battery life... its lasting approximately good 20+ hours [with HEAVY use]

You really only want to wipe stats if/when flashing new ROMs

Sent from my Evo 3D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
no wipe necessary if using sbc kernels, apparently its placebo anyways but to each their own
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddball:
So is it safe to say only wipe stats when putting a fully charged battery?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onon_onon:
Maybe you can help me diagnosing this. My compass is calibrated, so it points to the north correctly, but it is not steady, it jumps around 20 degrees (10+, 10-). Already tried 8 pattern calibration and the ms3c_yamaha.cfg deletion, but it still jumping. There's nothing around to mess with magnetometer, it works like this even if I am in the middle of a grass field.

A video of my SGS running some compass applications:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8urdsB4V_w

How is your compass? It stays pointing north, solid as a rock, or it jumps a little, like mine?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro666:
Probably you need calibration or recalibration...

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
nice design on the compass app ;)

what modem do you use, maybe it's related (probably not^^) I'll try my compass later outside, I'm currently surrounded by computers and walls so It wouldn't be tooo accurate if I tested now I would imagine.

I will edit my feedback into this post^^

EDIT:

also jumps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buntoo:
Mine is working perfect :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benoitb85:
I have the same issue.

I noticed also that if I tilt the phone from a horizontal position, tilting the upper side (with the cameras and plugs) to the up or down, it changes the angle drastically.

The GPS is quite bad also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buntoo:
Tilting does'nt affect the angle in my SGS...

Its possible that you're using it somewhere that is causing angle deviations. Like near metals, magnetic field etc

Gps is quite Good. It gets locked within 2-5 sec without any wifi/network assistance. Don't know why some people have issues with their GPS in SGS.. :-\
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
How do you calibrate?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onon_onon:
Is there another way to recalibrate, a hard way, maybe? Moving the phone in the eight pattern seems to calibrate, because it points to the magnetic north, but it's not steady, as I mentioned before.

Probably not. Until now, 5 different modems: JPA, JPE, JPX, JPY and JPG.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onon_onon:
After some research, the only way to fix a faulty compass seems to put the south pole of a strong magnet in the north pole of the compass, then repeat vice-versa. I don't think I wanna do that. I hate to send my phones to be fixed, but I'm running out of options.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimmjaw:
I've had my N1 since launch and love it. recently a few months ago ive had a couple of problems. When recording video, there are a few hiccups where the video freezes for a few seconds but audio still plays and then the pic unfreezes and continues to play. Also the volume skip feature in CM seems to be slow sometimes. i hold the volume button and let it go and it doesnt skip until quite a few seconds later.

Ive been using CM since CM5 and my videos never had that stuttering problem and the volume skip would skip immediately after holding it long enough. I've had these problems from Cm6.1 (but i dont believe ive always had them) and theyre still present in the latest Cm7 nightlies. I've reflashed Cm6, tried CM7, wiped my memory card, played with camera video recording settings, and the problems are still there.

The only things i can think of are its a problem with CM (which i doubt), there is something wrong with the memory card (same card ive always used, class 4 8gig), or my N1 is giving out one way or another ;(

Any input would be appreciate :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Did you try other SD cards? and which format are you recording, 720p?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimmjaw:
i haven't tried another memory card but tempted to do so. I have a 16 gig but class 2 that i use on my HD2. The recording and volume skip works perfectly on the HD2 with CM7 (the devs have done a PHENOMENAL job).

The video recording is WVGA. I haven't tried any other format. Ill try others too.

[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Doing things with ADB is a good way to start learning.

If you can't read instructions and can't simply copy and paste/extract some files on your SD card and copy and paste commands, you shouldn't root your phone.
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Learned adb today and I feel so much better about rooting and flashing roms now.
[Thunderbolt General] coolsilver:
Wasn't bad. Most of my time was waiting on the flash to complete.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
Let me set this straight. Unrevoked are great people that make a great product.

We made EVERYTHING available to Joshua from unrevoked, prior to our release. He was more than helpful, and really nice. Any differences we had were put aside. We both have the same goals, a reliable easy root.

...

Then a single member, not a team as a whole (from what I understand that made the comments) made some uneducated and incorrect comments. He was rude, wrong and hurtful to our community as a whole. I have preserved a screen shot, since his comment was deleted from Engadget.

Matthew made it a point to be hurtful, but obviously does not pay attention. Let's address his concerns.

A) Correct it is an ENG HBoot, we could not set s-off in the nvram. The radio config seems to be locked, and the emmc attack does not unlock it. Of course if Matthew was paying attention, he would know this. FAIL

B) We have had over 1200 downloads of the root files, from our monitored mirrors (thats about 1/3 of mirrors). ZERO BRICKS to date. Not during development, not from users. FAIL

C) You can return to stock by flashing an RUU, it will not brick your phone. This has been proven over and over. Of course Matt would know this if he paid attention, but he didn't. FAIL

D) The "SECURITY WARNING" is easily removed, by flashing an RUU. If Matthew had paid attention, he would knows this. FAIL

Here is the big one..."Perhaps the real work should be done by scotty2 and the folks who know what they are doing as opposed to jcase and team".

Now this right here shows you that Matthew Fogle is a troll, nothing less. He has no clue what he is talking about, he did not read our root tutorial. scotty2 was crucial to it, and was as involved, if not more involved than anyone else. scotty2 continues to sit in our chat servers, and is always more than helpful to "noobs", including me. DOUBLE FAIL

Hopefully unrevoked does their magic, however they lost all of my respect today, at least until they handle their own people.

Get your crud right Matt.

-the noob "jcase"
[Thunderbolt General] R1lover:
jcase.... here is your best solution.... ignore everyone else and keep your thoughts to yourself on others... everytime you open your mouth you make yourself look worse and worse.

He pointed out valid concerns.. he never flamed you, if someone pointing out facts about a method hurts your feelings then man up bro....

Even scotty2 above agree's with his facts... accept it and move on... calling out FAIL and other bs makes YOU look bad...

And don't get all pissy about this post either... I'm being honest and direct so you will get it, in an effort to HELP YOU!

Thanks for all you guys do, but man up and stop the BS.
[Thunderbolt General] Grizzly420:
Everyone I think just needs to be happy we have root, s-off, and give credit were it is do. All this arguing is unnecessary. Not picking any sides let's just help each other to enjoy their phone the way they want to.
[Thunderbolt General] dsb9938:
Is there a reason this thread still exists? Or at the very least isn't closed?

I'm not a noob, I've been in computers since before most of these people were born. That said, I like to know what's going on in the background when I do these types of things. I ALSO like to have the simplest way to get things done.

I did not use the first method AndIRC posted to root my phone. I looked at it and decided I would would wait for something cleaner, but I appreciated the fact that it was there. I did use the second method. It's cleaner, and ends with a current ROM.

I will however recommend unRevoked to anybody who asks me how to root a TB should they provide it. Why? Because it's easier than teaching them how, or doing it for them.

There's a place for everything.

This entire thread should just be deleted and forgotten. I don't know these guys except in passing, but I do know they are all above this sort of behaviour.

Just my two cents.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
I'm currently on Tmo and thinking about jumping ship to VZW for the TB. I change phones often usually before 1-year, what I'm wondering is if I buy a Thunderbolt on contract and decide to buy a new phone at full price, maybe later this year, can I still sell my TB for a decent amount of money to someone else to use on their account? I do this on Tmo but I'm not sure if it's the same with VZW.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babybacon:
it depends. if you buy it from verizon yes. when you take it off of your line it cleans the ESN number. make sure to ask them just in case.

certain online retailers charge you out the wazoo if you change your plan within 180 days.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
They can just activate it for their account so definitely possible. I just ordered the thunderbolt before my upgrade date so will just activate it on my account. Also looking to be able to switch between it and my previous phone, so looked into the details for how to do that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
I don't think he's talking about changing his plan, just upgrading his phones early and selling his current one. But your right there are huge penalties for terminating shortly after joining.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
Correct. I'll buy the phone from a VZW store, but I like the freedom of buying new phones at full price and selling my old one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredibuyer:
yes you can with one caveat... i have done that with an incredible and a droid x. actually, i've never paid full retail. i have added lines (i would never fully recoup the difference between my 2yr contract TB and full retail due to the TB retail pricing...) and sold both on swappa.com with the blessing of my friendly vzw sales "friend"....the phones esn is not dependent on your contract.

the fact that i have added two additional lines on a family plan to sell/purchase new phones may not be what you were asking
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
This has pissed me off since day one, but i never thought anything about it. When you guys hook your xoom up to your pc do you see all the folders in the "sdcard"? Like i don't see any folder that starts with a period. I'm also missing a lot of sub-folders. Is this what everyone is seeing or is my just stupid???
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Did you enable to show hidden and system folders in Windows? To my knowledge the leading dot signalizes a hidden file.

Yea, thanks tho. I see everything on my evo sdcard, so you see them on the xoom?

Honestly, I don't know since I never needed them. I will check at home.
[Xoom General] khov07:
No, you don't. I believe it's because of the way El Goog chose to implement USB in Honeycomb. Compare the way your EVO mounts as opposed to your Xoom - Windows handles it differently.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vvaffles:
Hey guys, this thing poped up a while ago over at the Galaxy S forums

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=981125

its suppose to increase overall smoothness of the phone in general, no porting was required to go on to basically all the other galaxy s and works for most of the froyo Roms. This is not suppose to change the benchmark scores in anyway, so the increase/decrease is most likely due to something else

Flashing the update.zip WILL NOT WORK, you have to use the alternative method which is replacing the files with root explorer, or something similar.

So it seems we have a mixed bag of results, if you actually applied the tweak (properly), please please vote if it works for you or not.

and of course, i take absolutely no credit for the work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Interesting post. I just backed up those two files:

/system/bin/app_process

/system/bin/system_server

...and then installed it through xRecovery. It seems to work fine. I mean, the bootanimation is still there, and nothing seems to crash (except Angry Birds for some reason, but I think that was already happening before I installed this). I can't say whether or not it's had a big effect though. Scrolling though the app drawer (in ADWLauncher EX) seems pretty smooth, as does scrolling in Root Explorer. I'll have to try it longer.

Thanks!

Edit: Wait, I don't think it installed properly. I checked the filesizes and they're still the originals. I'll try it again. Hold on.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
hmmm no noticeable change but it did seem to boost my linpack
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
could be placebo but it does seem slightly smoother, like maybe it maxes your fps or something along those lines
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] futranbg:
Yup, not very noticeable but seem to increase my quadrant 10%. Still need to test more.

But, install in xrecovery, file date still 2008, file size fixed with new install. Anybody, have same issue?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Grospolina:
Yup, installing it through xRecovery does nothing. It doesn't give an error, but it doesn't copy the files either. I managed to install the files properly using adb through xRecovery. I tried though adb while the phone was booted normally, but it couldn't overwrite the files because they were in use.

After installing, it works, but same story as above. I can't tell if it's better or worse. Quadrant scores about the same (~1300 for me) and Linpack scores around 34 (instead of 30 normally). The Linpack score could be because I had just rebooted though.

BTW, this is on FreeX10 beta 4.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] seek4:
Yup, just applied it (using Root Explorer) on CM 6.1.3 V4.4, after reading your post.. Killed boot-animation (to show its there), and doesn't seem to harm anything besides that. Hard to tell the difference, but maybe less laggy (I use Go Launcher (as cube) and LOTS of widgets) and apps loading slightly faster/ smoother.. Think I'll keep it!

Thank you for pointing, and thanks to nikademus! :o)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] futranbg:
I'm on cm6.1.3 4.5.7, my x10 run at maximum 600mhz (setcpu) to save power. It's seem better speed. Just keep it, at least it's not harmful :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abdurahman:
Can anyone confirm if it actually does something really noticeable? Like maybe making the arc launcher a bit less laggy in Wolfbreak's rom??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
it does definitely seem to improve scores at least, like stated though you need to use root explorer to move the files into the system/bin/ folder yourself. flashing the zip doesn't work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] seek4:
How noticeable does it really need to be? I love the Go Launcher because HS can be configured as rotating cube (a bit like my Linux with Compiz), but it had begone to feel a little laggy and now its perfectly smooth again.. Good enough for me! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vvaffles:
thats weird, i don't think its suppose to raise any scores. But i guess on a different device it might have different effects.

FWIR what its suppose to do is raise the FPS across the phone and hold it constant.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abdurahman:
Just in case imma backup using nandroid then ill install these two files and see what they do!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrljlamon:
killed boot animation which i dont care.

and seems a bit smoother as far as scrolling goes.

so i'd say it did some good and no harm as of now.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] futranbg:
I did test quadrant with 1ghz and confirmed not increase my quadrant. But during 3d test fps go up and down unlike before. Xrecovery intallation worked for me, it's kill my bootanimation too.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lion3494:
Does it really kill boot animation. But I like the cyanogen animation. Does it replace it with something else?

Also do I have to do anything with that Meta file?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abdurahman:
Is it possible to reinstall the boot animation or is it impossible with this mod?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] festa20:
I installed it using root explorer earlier and a can't see much difference to be fair...

The fps do seem a lil more consistent

And no I looked on the galaxy s thread and couldnt find anything to do with replacing it correct me if I'm wrong mate
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wai10691:
I replaced both of the files by Root Explorer also made a backup.

Then set my cpu speed to (Performance) max 576Mhz min 245.

Phone performance - maintain (scrolling smoother) but manage to save me more battery.

Can't tell the performance for gaming as I'm not a big fans of games.

But it did make my x10i smooth, and save battery!

Edit : Angrybirds running smooth
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
If you look closely enough, the X10 drops frames severely with this tweak applied. To see what I mean, keep a close eye on the GFX benchmarks in Quadrant, you will notice it drops frames after every 5-8 seconds.

I tested it on Angry Birds too, it drops frames - you just have to watch closely and you will see it. I don't know if it has affected my Quadrant score 'coz I never benchmarked it before replacing the files, and with these 2 files replaced, my score is 1329.

Edit : I'm on Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 [2.2.1] v4.4 with MattedBlues theme applied. If neither of you experience dropped frames, it might as well be the theme or the ROM, not sure.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vvaffles:
maybe i should put up a poll, what do u guys think?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
You can, but an even better solution would be to just run a Quadrant test and observe it closely for dropped frames. You can also do that with games, it will only take some seconds at most and you only have to watch it closely. The dropped frames present themselves as a quick jerk within games and in the Quadrant tests you can actually see the FPS drop severely for a second or two [like from 15-20 to 7-9 and then back to 15-20] during the GL Tunnel / rotating globe and other tests.

If you don't see dropped frames then it can easily be singled out to only me facing the frame drop issue which might have something to do with the theme I've installed or the ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
this is a result of the rom I think, when I went from freex10 to wolfbreak's cm I noticed this.

I found this trick actually seemed to make my game performance a bit smoother and my frames more consistent. I'm on 4.4 with the same theme as you as well
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javagreen:
Thanks for the confirmation!

So I was right. I further believe the frame drop might be connected in some way with the Sysctl tweaks I have applied on Wolfbreak's rom - especially since Sysctl changes the way Android handles the cache writes etc. i.e. I/O performance.

I'll have to research morte on that, play around with different values and see how it affects the overall FPS performance.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrljlamon:
I was just playing guerrilla bob with no drop in frames all. Don't know if it was any smoother but it sure worked perfectly fine
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
yeah people seem to be throwing out values for sysctl.. I'd like to see a set that has proven impact for the better
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vvaffles:
Glad to see it works for you guys
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] benz0076:
Tested with it for a few hours and it does not work for me.

Quadrant score stays the same around 1350.

Linpack score goes down from 33 to a dissapointing 9.5

So i removed it
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shoby:
I tried this on Wolfbreak's rom. I ran with it all day, and if anything then I would say my phone ran less smoothly than before.

I didn't try Quadrant as it is pointless.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] XteNce:
On CM 6.13 (tweaked + extras) works more than fine) quadrant and linpack scores havo no influence from it, but animations really works faster :)

but it won't stop me change X10 to Arc :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abdurahman:
I installed it, boot animation went away so I know I installed properly, I didn't notice anything different, also all live wallpapers stopped working for me. going back to my backup i made before i installed the files
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] fiscidtox:
weird live wallpapers work better for me and I'm on wolfbreak's rom too.. I found this has been better imo.
