[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bthoven:
Yesterday, I briefly pressed the power button and kept my tab in a zip case for half a day; and when I pulled it out, the case was so warm, and I can't switch on. So I have to switched it off and on again. The reason why it was so warm inside the zip case was the GPS was still on and working at all time.

The strange things after switching it on are:

1. my unlock pattern has gone

2. the usb mass storage setting reverts to Kies

3. pressing Home and Search button do nothing

4. SmartKeyboardPro default reverts to Samsung keyboard default.

Last night I tried switch on and off several times, and it did not solve the above problem.

This morning when I plug my USB cable and notice that it asks for Kies drivers, I then set it back to USB mass storage and re-plug my usb cable again. Suddenly, the Home and Search buttons are now working again.

I have to set the unlock pattern and set the Smart keyboard pro as default again.

Now my Galaxy Tab wifi version works as normal again, but I still don't know what has caused the above problem.

Will journaled Ext4 kill my internal SD?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Ummm...in a word, no.

Why would you think it would?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edude03:
Quick Answer: No.

Long Answer, Journaled filesystems like EXT4 have a "intent" log where they store the actions they are about to preform before they preform them, once the action is complete it is removed from the log. This is done so that if power is lost during an operation, the filesystem can "replay" the log (ie, go and check the last thing that was supposed to be done) and do it. This increases file system reliability at the cost of write speed (very slightly though) and causes more writes to your device.

That said, the increase in writes is very small and while it will wear your SD faster, we are talking about something like %1 faster which is no big deal.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
As to opposite to what? This interests me more. I thought that rfs has journaling too. So why would the journaling of the ext4 be wearing out the sd card more? Also why it should be slower in write as rfs then? (why would the system then when journaling with slower write speeds BE actually used as a "lagfix" and seen as a speed and smoothness improvement to the rfs?)

I have no idea about any of this, ask just for clarification and my laziness to google :)

Pros? Cons? To my understanding, much of the world uses GSM. Why the split in America? I've always wondered and all that I've read on Google is just eh information. I was wondering if anyone had a more educated opinion, or maybe just a good answer?

http://m.gizmodo.com/5637136/giz-explains-gsm-vs-cdma
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
They're both aging technologies. In several respects, GSM is better at this point.

- 3G on CDMA appears to have maxed out on speed. They've found ways to get 4G like speeds out of HSPA+, which is far better than CDMA can do.

- Simultaneous voice + data is possible on GSM. There is a new standard for it on CDMA as well, but it's not been widely deployed. Verizon may be starting to do it though.

- A lot of people like SIM cards for being able to swap phones instantly.

- If you travel internationally and if you want to be able to use your own phone there, GSM is better in most parts of the world.

Now, many of those things don't matter to some people. Some do. As for why there was a split, I don't know. I think early on, CDMA had better data rates, But HSDPA and HSPA+ have blown past it. Some of it may just be Qualcomm's success marketing to VZW and Sprint. The inability to evolve a 3G CDMA network beyond its current speed limits is certainly a legitimate downside that forces moving to a new technology.

I've seen it claimed that CDMA has better voice quality, and it doesn't seem to cause the same kind of interference with surrounding electronics that GSM does.

Everyone except Sprint is either deploying or planning to deploy LTE as the next generation of technology, and indications are Sprint may follow suit at some point. All indications are that LTE will become a global standard even more so than GSM already is.

Try uninstalling xrecovery then reinstall. Or just reflash using SEUS and format the whole phone if youre afraid of a boot loop. You gotta reroot and stuff. Custom rom-wise, quite a choice we have.

[Android Software Development] ananthb:
I am looking to control the stock Android music player (I want to launch a particular song using the default music player) using my application.

Stuff that used to work on Android doesn't work on Gingerbread, with the error: "Not allowed to bind to service Intent { cmp=com.android.music/.MediaPlaybackService }"

From my research, I have found that this interface is not exported. Is there any other way I can launch the default media player with a track (or interrupt it and play another one)? I know it isn't official, but since widgets like Pure Music Widgets do this, I know it must be possible (or do they simulate bluetooth media buttons?) and this is XDA, anything is possible here :)

My apologies if this question has been asked and answered, could you please just point me to that thread. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find anything along these lines.

[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Intent audioIntent = new Intent();

File file = new File("/mnt/sdcard/your/music/file.mp3");

OR

Intent audioIntent = new Intent();
audioIntent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri externalUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
//audioID is the id of the audio file in the database
Uri auidoUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(externalUri, audioID)
audioIntent.setDataAndType(auidoUri, "audio/*");
startActivity(audioIntent);

The second method will let the user see the artist info/album art/etc (stored in the db), the first will let them play the song but all the info will be blank. You need to get the audio ID for the file from the MediaStore Content Provider if you want to use the second method though.

Can someone point me in the right direction about overclocking the vibrant to 1.2ghz. And things that I should worry about. Thanks
[Vibrant General] kboater:
go into the development section and look for a thread that says [Kernel] Overstock and start reading
[Vibrant General] singlebyte:
You can do two things:

Install a kernel that allows overclocking and use a program like SetCPU to turn up the speed.

or

Install Tegrak from the market.

You will need to experiment with different settings and voltages depending on your particular device.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Just like the guys said, Go to the dev forum and look for a kernel called Overstock. Download the 2.4.1 version and use tegrak to overclock from 1.0-1.3. Your choice.

Has to be said though, not every Vibrant handles overclocking so on the first sign of things going wrong, like sudden lags and reboots stop OCing.
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
Step one: Get root

Step two: Read about how to get root

Step three: Install a custom oc kernel

Step four: Post additional threads later on asking why your battery life sucks

Step five: Post additional threads later on asking why your phone isn't very stable

Step six: Post additional threads later on asking why your phone is broke.

Step seven: Get a new phone or send the one you have back to T-Mobile or Samsung

Step eight: Hope they (T-Mobile/Samsung) doesn't find you that you voided your warranty by achieving step 1.
[Vibrant General] fear676:
Point taken thanks. I think I wont mess with OC.
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
Now don't get me wrong... many LOVE to overclock their devices. There are some great advantages to it.... but however there are drawbacks as well.

I was one of the very few that fried the insides of my phone by overclocking it. It couldn't detect the internal storage. I'm not saying which one it was b/c I don't want to single anyone out and that's not what I'm trying to do. What I am trying to do here is to point out that sometimes the risks are not worth the rewards. Yet another example is the oc kernal that I'm currently using. See signature. It's great! I can also run Avatar (most custom kernals won't let you and you will get an error when you try to play the movie) and it has BLN which is a MUST for me. But when I tried to install it, it completely wiped my internal storage. My backups and everthing. *POOF!* Gone. Again... it's a risk that you take and you will never realize it until AFTER you get the feeling of regret. It could happen immediately, it could happen months from now. Heck... it may never happen. But is the risk really worth it? If yes, then go ahead. If not... just stick with stock.
[Vibrant General] fear676:
This is what im talking about. Otherthreads sugar coat things but you Sr. Gave me an honest answer

And I thank you for it.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
Look at my signature. Yeah, it's fast as hell.

Crashing? Lol...none. It is VERY stable. Battery problems? 20 hours with moderate use. I would say it impacts it about 5-10% total even with my insane overclock.

Do note also that my phone doesn't like overclocking much in general. Many kernels in the past had stability issues past 1.3Ghz but I'm glad to say I have finally found my sweetspot and this thing is BLAZING :)

I haven't heard of anyone really "killing" their phone with an overclock. Worst you would do is random freezes requiring restarts cause you pushed it too much. You won't harm your phone, it just won't be stable if you go too far.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
This is not related to overclocking your CPU, sir. This is related to you installing Dead Horse, a custom kernel which HAS the bug that it WIPES storage on some phones when it is installed. NOTHING to do with overclocking. Now, this has been fixed in its newer versions but when you used it, apparently it was still there. It was posted in BOLD BIG RED LETTERS that it will wipe your storage when you install it, I'm sorry that you couldn't read it or chose to ignore it. ALL CURRENT kernels are safe to use. They will not wipe or delete or do anything unusual to your phone after you install them.

As far as heat produced due to overclocking. I can reach 57C with a stock 1Ghz kernel as well as my 1.48Ghz current kernel. Granted, if I push my 1.48Ghz to 40C or higher, it starts crashing. I use a SetCPU profile to throttle it down to 1Ghz when the phone gets too hot so it doesn't crash. Usually it runs at 24-35C. Note that 40C feels rather hot when holding the phone and 50C feels like you are holding something on FIRE. Still, it is fine working in these temperatures (even if it is not good for it).

Overclocking with this phone is very "safe". The worst you can do is push it to where it is unstable and then it will TELL you its unstable and you've pushed it too far by CRASHING the phone. It is pretty obvious. It won't fry the phone. It won't damage it. And god forbid, it doesn't randomly wipe your storage. However, it WILL technically void your warranty. So if you DO break your phone due to something else and want to send it in for warranty, don't say you overclocked. Samsung and T-Mobile really don't have a way of telling if it was overclocked if you revert everything back to stock (ROM and kernel).
[Vibrant General] Binary100100:
Yeah... he added that after I told him (post 38) about the issue my friend. And in post 43 he updated the OP smartass. Thanks anyway. :rolleyes: I think I know how to read. Look I gave him an honest answer. There are always risks to doing anything. Can you deny that? If the device was specifically built to be overclocked past 1ghz then it would have been designed for it. I'm glad that everybody is having positive experiences but I'm a REALIST. I see posts all of the time where people have had problems with battery life, instability, wiped or destroyed storages, etc. I am an experienced user that does read the threads (regardless of what you think) and I feel that he should be warned. Yet, even I experience some of the very issues that I read about. Which is why I READ about them. You know what... I hope that something happens to yours. I really do. Just so you will actually know for certain what you're talking about because you're misleading the OP.

And in regards to this statement "I haven't heard of anyone really "killing" their phone with an overclock. Worst you would do is random freezes requiring restarts cause you pushed it too much. You won't harm your phone, it just won't be stable if you go too far."

How can you explain these?

And more information for the OP that contradicts your 100% safe theory and your statement that you've never heard of anything getting "fried" then how else could my phone get a bad BGA component that required to replace the entire PBA? Oh! I forgot! That's normal... huh. :rolleyes:

So your turn. Give us 100% undeniable evidence that it's 100% safe. Otherwise stop misleading people in the threads.

And if "ALL CURRENT kernels are safe to use. They will not wipe or delete or do anything unusual to your phone after you install them." was actually accurate then there wouldn't be the issue with Dead Horse now... would there? In my book that is a contradiction.

Look... not trying to discourage anybody here from at least trying it. But I'm saying that unless you want to have a quadrant score race or something like that then there is really no benefit to overclocking your phone. And by the way... it's a P-H-O-N-E. If you can place and receive calls then you are fullfilling it's intents and purposes. It has other features such as internet, mms, camera, speaker for playing music, etc. But it's no more a computer than it is a Kodak camera, Bose stereo, etc.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
By current I mean CURRENT. Dead Horse doesn't wipe anymore I believe (though I stopped using it a good while back). Just about all T959 based kernels out now (DoW, Dragon, Overstock, Tiger's Blood, Bullet) do not have issues regarding to overclocking.

Also note the Hummingbird is a Cortex processor rated up to 1550mV or in other words 1.55V. The highest OCing Kernels push 1.5 Volts. Technically, this means the CPU is still within specs and hence why it is stable for the majority of people. Not all CPUs can do it though due to the physical layout of the PCB and phone and hence why it fails for some. Can it do pernament damage if you overclock?

If it crashes due to being unstable and you never restart it for an hour or so, it WILL likely do some damage. This is why I'm saying if you do it properly, it is safe to do. If you do it improperly, it does have a chance of doing damage to your phone though still unlikely.

ONE thing TO note however is that overclocking WILL shorten the lifespan of the CPU. Typically I believe processors are rated for roughly 50 years of usage. Overclocking will shorten that to roughly 10 years (with very extreme overclocking). This is still past the 2-3 years most people will keep it.

PS: Most of those bricks you linked were from an older version of the DOW kernel which had that "chance of bricking the phone" for a few days, kinda like Dead Horse had the "chance of wiping your memory". It was quickly taken down I recall and fixed but it did brick some people.

I'm not saying overclocking is foolproof. If you do it wrong, you will require a re-flash of the phone and in rare cases can cause damage to the hardware (Yes, it CAN. But you'd have to screw it up with either high temperature or over 1.55Volts). However, overclocking this phone is much safer than overclocking anything else.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Why is overclocking necessary afterall? Only for marginally higher quadrant scores? What real world app benefit from overclocking? I am sure it reduces battery life. So in my opinion - for normal use of phone, not only you don't gain anything but you lose something.
