[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
I am running Chad's 12-23 kernel on a mostly stock ROM, and have been testing between the on demand governor and the smartass governor, trying to determine which would give better battery life. I ran a log over a 1 minute period with the phone on/awake, but idle. I did NOT kill any background processes, and ran both tests back to back so running processes shouldn't have changed.

Over a one minute period, the governors averaged the following:

On demand

264 mhz

20% load

Smartass

371 mhz

14% load.

As a side note, the smartass governor scores slightly, yet consistently higher on quadrant, seems to run a much more stable framerate on the planet-and-moon graphics test.

so which should be better for batter, and why? lower speed, or lower load?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
In general, smartass should provide better battery life than ondemand since it doesn't scale upwards as violently.

Sitting idle with the screen on isn't the best condition for comparing different governors. Since the governors affect the speed and level of scaling, you would want to test under conditions that have more dynamic processing needs.

While it doesn't answer all the questions you have, you might find this helpful:

Effects of CPU Frequency and Screen Brightness on Power Consumption
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
The funny thing is that even the On Demand governor on this kernel seems modified. On the stock kernel, on demand usually idles much higher, 600-700 mhz. So whatever changes Chad has made overall are causing on demand to be more conservative as well.

I don't really know a method to test under more dynamic circumstances. I'm simply observing in System Panel. But the logging feature it has doesn't get super detailed with CPU speed. Only the realtime monitor. About the only "test" I could do was to scroll the app list up and down on the system panel screen. This causes the mhz and load to jump up pretty much immediately to 800+ mhz. I did not see ANY difference in this between the two governors, they both seem to ramp up equally aggressively, and both would jump to about the same mhz.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
You could set up scripts that run various commands/processes, with sleep times in-between.

Do you have Tasker? You could set up Tasks that not only would automate various processes, thereby exposing your CPU to dynamic (yet controlled) conditions, but Tasker now has %CPUFREQ which could record the current CPU frequency throughout the test.

There are also the Frequency Stats to the be found in SetCPU, Android System Info, or I'm sure a host of other apps. They show you how long your CPU has spent at any given frequency. The only catch is that I don't know how to reset those stats (as it's not really a function I use).

Since you are concerned with power use, you would also want part of your logging to include mA current being drawn from the battery.

Just brainstorming. There are a lot of ways you could set up more controlled tests.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
OK, so digging a little bit, this should be even easier than I thought. The Frequency Stats are contained in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state

It looks like rebooting can reset them, but I haven't yet figured out a way to reset them without resetting the device. But it doesn't really matter :D Once you come up with a testing script, you can have it store a copy of time_in_state at the very beginning of the test, and then again at the end of the test. That way, you can simply compare the time_in_state at the end of the test to the one at the beginning to see just the influence of that test.

Anyone else notice this? Mines coming off from being in and out of my pocket so much

Its disappointing to see the end of the kickstand look like it has paint peeling off
[Thunderbolt General] Botero:
I peeled it off the second I unboxed it...
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I meant it has a paint on the kickstands

If u look at it, it has a greyish tint to it and at the end of my kickstands this paint is peeling off so its a bright silver color
[Thunderbolt General] mitchell4500:
Just noticed this on mine... Thanks :/ Im starting to think this device is not so good after all.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I'm just hoping that once it peels of completely the "with Google" is still there
[Thunderbolt General] moondrius:
I just looked after reading this and mine is peeling too.
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
Mines not peeling yet, I will stop using it now though for sure.

I read on AC that someone was successful exchanging their TB for this problem. So you might want to get on that before it becomes more widespread.
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
i don't see any paint peeling off of mine, it seems like its just brushed aluminum, nothing to indicate that it has any kind of paint on it. maybe it's a clear coat over the metal?
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
No paint peeling here.. but I do have some scuffing.. I need a case. :(

I will probably end up plasti-dipping the kickstand lol....
[Thunderbolt General] lorijuan1024:
I actually have a full body shield so mine is ok
[Thunderbolt General] HarlyFan:
I noticed mine peeling a couple of days ago, not a good start:mad::mad:
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
I just taped mine up as a preventive measure. Looks like **** but whatever at least I can use it this way.
[EVO 4G General] Vega:
my phone is barely working and i got hosed by my 3rd party insurance. I would like to get out of contact. Sell my used evo and get a new one. any ideas. i have heard of changing your prl and roaming on other towers to get them to bumb you. any other ideas?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
fix the phone!

whats wrong with it?
[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
That will take forever. If you live or work somewhere where you get crappy service, that's how I got out of VZW (easier with Sprint since they have crappier coverage most places). Or just sell Evo to help pay ETF.

How far are you into your contract? Your ETF goes down every month, so maybe it won't be too bad. You may also be able to ***** enough about the premiere policy changes that they let you out.

Also, what's wrong with your phone, maybe we can help you fix it so you don't need to cancel.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
that's a whole lot of info you gave
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Fix it - it's not Sprints fault your third party insurance screwed you over and now you want to screw over Sprint. Man up and pay your ETF or sell your broken phone to help pay the ETF.

This is why companies keep raising rates and taking away perks, everyone wants to rob everyone but want the companies to keep prices low.
[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
Here's an easy way to get out of the contract. Join the military....get shipped to Iraq. Problem solved.
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Seriously, what's wrong with the phone? You'll have to define "barely working"...
[EVO 4G General] Vega:
nice but tried that they dont want me
[EVO 4G General] Vega:
my screen is cracked but thats the least since its barely cracked like a square inch at the corner. But before that two sections of the phone middle top and middle bottom dont work. to explain better around 50 % or my screen is unusable. and my notification bar doesnt work but i can pull it down in my menu screen. tried to get the screen fixed was told that the glass is one thing and that the screen now working is another thing having to do with the underbelly of the screen. would run me around 150 to fix
[EVO 4G General] iamthebigcheeze:
When I went to Iraq, they just suspended my contract until I got back to the States.

so i am wondering i am looking into fixing my self my evo. looks like i need only a digitizer? whick also is the glass?
[EVO 4G General] seriousblack25:
how about you do that switch Tower thing and use the VZW tower for a while and get your service cancelled by sprint :D
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
Ok, did this. Now how do I get out of the military? It seems like it's barely working and we got hosed with these third world wars. I would like to get out of contract.
[EVO 4G General] StealthTH:
Epic...truly epic! Well played
[EVO 4G General] muppetman462:
Umm...Tell them that you have a cell contract with Sprint that you can't get out of? :eek:
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
How exactly did you get "hosed" by the insurance? You broke your phone, you pay the $100 deductible and you get a new phone.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] TonyArmstrong:
First, thank you for your service, and I'm glad you made it home safely.

Back to OP and this escape-from-contract thing, is Sprint's service REALLY that bad?? I'm a new convert and all, but I'll tell you, coming from AT&T, I have to say, Sprint's coverage and call quality are better than Big Blue's and I'm getting good (not always great) 4G speed in and around NYC, as well as Miami (but not so much in Baltimore), areas I frequent a lot.

As for your device woes, your ETF starts at $200 right? But fixing your phone will be an estimated $150. Fix your phone. Stay with Sprint a bit longer, reduce your ETF, then sell your repaired Evo on eBay. Profit.

<KanyeShrug />
[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
You signed on the dotted line. Time to learn a thing or two about responsability and legal obligations. You can:

Put your big boy undies on and ride out the rest of your contract term

Go get another phone, and keep paying for this one until the contract is up

Pay the early termination fee

I love this "the world owes me something" mentality that everyone has now days.
[EVO 4G General] Vega:
thanks.

looked it up and i was able to fix my phone for 27 dollars and an hour. All be it i had to do it. but better than the alternative. actually enjoyed to do it. all i need to do is fix my usb port. ouch that might be a bit tricky but trying.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
lol

Firstly, if you do this, Sprint will ban you from their network for "x" amount of time. Secondly, this doesn't happen overnight. Sprint will send you warnings before they cancel your account and this can take months to accomplish.

OP: My friend got a new Evo on Craigslist for $300 about a month ago. Sell your broken Evo as broken on eBay, and that will cover a good chunk of what another phone will cost you. Even with insurance, you'd still have to pay a $100 deductible which is more or less what you would have to pay out of pocket to sell yours and get another one.

Mine is going back Saturday, I had thought about getting the Tab, but may just get another Streak from another source to play with for another 30 days...

I took the easy route, I ordered a second Streak7 from Amazon.com and am returning this one to T-Mobile. I will then return the new one within 30 days and hope the Acer A100 is out by then, as it is a much better device (not to say that the Streak7 is a slouch or anything, just missing some key features and they chose a bad screen).

[Omnia 7 General] chris-at:
After updating my Omnia 7 to Nodo I got another update notification about a "Samsung Update".

When I try to install it it hangs at step 6 of 10: rebooting your phone (the phone shows the omnia logo but doesn't boot).

Was anybody able to install this update? What does it do?
[Omnia 7 General] gc48067:
You say you updated to NoDo...how? Did you receive a notification or use one of the tricks to get the update? Not had anything myself. Also how long after the NoDo update did you get the other update, was it via Zune or a phone notification.

Sounds interesting given the odd display I've now got, wondering if we have some updated drivers on the way.
[Omnia 7 General] chris-at:
I forced the update (via Hungary) but got the new notification as soon as I connected the phone to Zune (it also shows up on the phone).

There is a 'more information' link on the first page but sadly it does not give more information.
[Omnia 7 General] Cheekbone:
Getting the same update after NoDo. Doesn't update though, stuck at rebooting just like you. Weird..

Didn't get my update via Hungary BTW, just the regular way (A1 branded).
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
Hmmm this is worrying. I assume there were no problems after this update failed?
[Omnia 7 General] Cheekbone:
No, I don't think anything happened yet. The PC is waiting for the phone to reboot, and the phone is stuck on boot..
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
How long did you leave it?
[Omnia 7 General] Cheekbone:
Not sure, 30-45 mins maybe the first time. The second time I tried just a couple of minutes. It said the update would take 32 mins, but since it just said rebooting and not updating I reckoned the process hadn't even started yet.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
You just unplugged it then and it carried on workig OK?

That sounds about right, when i did pre-nodo the reboot took about a minute or so of displaying the Omnia logo then went to the pc plug screen whilst it updated.

I did read about device specific updates, seems odd though as some people are saying that they updated to NoDo and it works fine and had no future updates.
[Omnia 7 General] Cheekbone:
Unplugged it and had to take the battery out to reboot. Notice how it says 'Samsung update for Windows Phone' though. I'll try one more time. My phone bugged me a couple of times about the update as well ('An Update is available').
[Omnia 7 General] slysy:

To view firmware version go in phone then open the numeric pad and call ##634# to enter diagnosis then type these combination: *#1234#
