[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowchilli:
my sgs2 kept getting a little hot and i also felt that the batterylife wasn't bad, but could be better.

so i decided to underclock it to 500mhz and see what happens.

after all, it's a dualcore and 500mhz shouldn't feel like...500mhz right?

but it did feel like 500mhz with everything choppy and so on..

perhaps i just have the wrong concept of how dualcores are supposed to work....or perhaps gingerbread/apps/filesystem isnt yet fully optimized for dualcore? i don't know.

i decided to look for some sort of system monitoring app that'd show individual core usage...like "Tablet cpu usage monitor". but found none

StabilityTest 1.5 sometimes only shows 1 core. probably just the app's problem....

thoughts anyone?

edit: i just realised one thing...though havent tried it enough times to say it's something meaningful. from a fresh reboot, if i don't open SetCPU, StabilityTest v1.5 detects just the 1 core. then if i close Stability Test, open SetCPU, let it have its permission then back out, StabilityTest would then show 2 cores.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
I use OS monitor. I found that Wifi Sharing was killing my battery, by takin up 20-30% of CPU time and causing the CPU to clovk itself to 1000 MHz! So using OS monitor, I killed the process and the battery drain goes away (until wifi sharing starts itself up again!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowchilli:
yer i use osmonitor too but it doesn't display individual cores D:

and yes i probably check my cpu usage about twice a day specifically to make sure wifisharing isnt on and eating up my batt. im surprised samsung didnt fix this with their updates..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
im very interested in this too, especially underclock + lower voltage for CPU - could drastically increase battery life.

Try disabling a whole bunch of default apps that come with the phone if you havernt already, details here:

And report back your findings ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
plenty of battery threads lets not make another, we know there is a battery problem they say its 2.3.3 related to the dual cores.

As for wifi it might have something to do with your router the dlink dir 655 router was having problems with this phone, i imagine maybe other dlink routers have the same issue.

Get a app called juice defender it shuts of any wifi that is not in use ( when phone is in sleep mode ). it also works with 3g data.

Hope that helped :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowchilli:
i suppose im more interested in the dualcore aspects here...rather than the batterylife. sorry i didnt really make it clear

i did search up on "dualcore optimization" here in the forum but there really isnt much about it

for example..what is the state of gingerbread's dualcore optimization? what about apps etc

i think i'll also do some googling myself :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
I don't think Gingerbread is dual core optimized but the underlying Linux kernel should take advantage of the dual core for multitasking. Every app using multiple threads will use the dual core too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] browngeek:

Can someone tell me how to jailbreak my droid evo?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
Hey guys

Seems like the last few weeks of commits have kind of turned my DIAM500 back a few notches in terms of usability. GPS is a little touchy, reboots seem to happen more often, etcetera. I'm running the latest except for 05_22 , but I've experimented with the past quite a few builds and not been happy. Previous to these I had a GREAT experience on one of the earlier builds (maybe around first week of may?) but I'm not sure which one now.

Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
How about the kernel that's bundled with all my builds? Seems to work well for most, which is one of the reasons it's still bundled with FRX06.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] djdafreund:
You gotta remember, with testing this. Newer IS NOT always better. Sometimes worse, sometime's you need to wait for a newER one that gets better again. As Arrrghhh said, (and pretty good with), he usually packages one of the better ones in newest package downloads (from testing and feedback from users) and sometime's best to stick with. Until so many newer updates come out that makes it safe enough OVERALL to start using as a new checkpoint (as i call it), where most stuff works fine overall. Before continuing with newer changes and files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bluenote73:
I know newer isn't necessarily better, but for a while there it WAS and I got greedy and complacent :)

Arrgh, I'll have a look at your package, thanks for the tip. Care to hint which it is though?

thanks guys

[Thunderbolt General] Lipmonger:
Is anyone else starting to get bad tinny sound in their earpiece? Making calls, talking, just hearing the "ringing" sound when making a call is driving me nuts. Sounds like the built-in earpiece speaker is crapping out.

Is this covered by warranty?
[Thunderbolt General] Addicted2Droid:
Did you drop the phone. I dropped mine and then that same problem started. Annoying as hell
[Thunderbolt General] Nooter:
I experience this with my pristine Thunderbolt. No dings, no falls; just a few weeks old.
[Thunderbolt General] mcargil05:
HTC doesn't care

Yes the ear piece speaker is defective and the external speaker also. I spoke with HTC and they said it was a software problem and would be fixed (What a Load). The phone also has a bad amplifier for the speakers and ear phone jack. If you turn up the base when listening earphones the amplifier cracks and distorts (Same volume on my Zune, Omnia II and Galaxy Tab sounds great). HTC said to turn the volume down. Good answer! Hopefully Samsung starts making better looking phones, because this will be my last HTC!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilgadets:
So assuming I ever get my hands on a dock, is there much difference between using an sdhc card vs a usb drive for storing and watching movies? Obviously a con of the usb drive is that it sticks out, but beyond that, any major reasons to go with one or the other?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
My phone (once again) has a broken external speaker and its basically unusable at any volume. I have a warranty on it through asurion but I was wondering if anyone knows which screen type I'd get back. I have an AMOLED and would really like to keep it that way. If not, are the SLCD screens really that much worse from what I hear?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldeneye877:
You called arurion and they offered to send you an Incredible? I called them about a month ago and they said the Incredible was discontinued and that they could only offer me a Droid X.

Ive had 2 replacements from them so far. Both were the amoled version.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I actually haven't even filed a claim. I'm thinking about just dropping the insurance and sticking it out with my Inc. I would hate to get an X over this.

When you got the AMOLED was it recent or before the SLCD versions were announced?

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldeneye877:
It was back in February. So if you haven't filed a claim yet, they will end up giving you an X instead of an Inc.
[XPERIA X8 General] killakilna:
My X8, when booted, freezes during the sony ericsson logo

it was working fine earlier using CM7.0.2 (2.3.4) v.65 but i rebooted it and now it freezes

it wont let me boot into xrecovery to restore any previous backups and i read something about connecting to sony ericsson PC companion and using that to restore it to its default settings but apparently, it needs to be turned on to connect to that so i cant do that

I've flashed a few roms in the past but i wouldn't say im a seasoned veteran or anything like that

Is there any way to restore my phone? or do i have a new paperweight?
[XPERIA X8 General] CM-PRo:
Download SEUS from Sony Ericsson site. Then select the phone (X8). When you are asked to switch off the phone and press back button to repair/ to search for an update for your phone, connect the USB, then press and hold power button + Menu button + back button simoultaneously. You should see the green LED light now and the phone will be connected. Hope it helps.

Many people have had this problem. Use the search button please. DO NOT spam the development area. :)

Thanks

Regards,

death214
[XPERIA X8 General] frahmadani:
Repair using SEUS (SE update service), not PC companion. you don't have to turn on your phone to do that.

Just follow the instructions, and connect your phone in flashmode (turn off, then hold back button and connect it to pc).
[XPERIA X8 General] killakilna:
Sorry death214, i searched and didn't find anything

[Thunderbolt General] Bateluer:
Unfortunately, Summer 2011 means anything between April and September. :P
[Thunderbolt General] a1exus:
why can't google make something like where you download os update separate from vendors? so you can update your phone to latest without bringing in useless vendor who only if something slows things down?!
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
thats what they said before the phone was launched, initially it was june, it might happen since we already had a leak that was pretty stable other than the radio and camera app, so keep your fingers crossed. I am thinking at the end of june.
[Thunderbolt General] thetwiztidfreak:
Free wireless hotspot promo ends June 15 and VZW already said it would be disabled with an ota. Hopefully that will be our gingerbread also.
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
it could happen if google had a list of parts vendors are allowed to use. Everyone uses different cpu's, gps chips, wifi, and crap and that's why the os is so fragmented. If google had a set standard for hardware specs it wouldn't be so hard.

Android will always be fragmented, It doesn't mean how many companies sign up for the promised os updates for 18 months. This is one thing that is bad about android. My next phone will be google branded, atleast it has the best support possible.
[Thunderbolt General] krnsushiman:
Didn't they set up like a committee thing with all the companies to speed up the updating process?
[Thunderbolt General] Bateluer:
Those same companies would also prefer that you purchase a new phone rather than have to support their existing ones. :P
[Thunderbolt General] Arbys:
Im not going to hold my breath waiting for Verizon. Maybe for a more stable leaked release.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
If you're going to run with a rooted Bolt you're not going to care when Verizon releases the OTA because by the time they actually do it just about everyone in this forum will be running the leaked (& safe for rooted bolts) radios and ROM of some kind.

We'll also probably see the OTA weeks before VZW acutally pushes it (unless somehow jcase and company can't get their hands on a leaked version and make it safe for rooted phones before the OTA pushes...which I wouldn't bet money on.)

So its not just me then. I flashed A7-comb which is working. Then I tried to flash the patch to get the side buttons back and recovery can't connect to SD or USB stick.

The screen is completely unresponsive (stays black all the time) the only action i get is that the Menu, home, back, and search buttons light up. I need to get to some files on the phone and im having an issue with remotely accessing them.

I cant access anything on the phone cause the screencast tool i have requires the phone to have USB debugging turned on. When the phone was dropped it was turned off.

I've got a black EVO with a white back. The white backs fit so much better and they're smoother, so the phone slides in and out of my pocket easier.

Also, the white EVO is worth a lot more for trade-in! I believe Amazon is offering $187 or something crazy like that...

Either way, scoop them up. Broken EVOs sell on Ebay for 150 to 175 or more...

Does anyone know of a source for usb cables that'll fit the flyer?:mad:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
It's a standard micro USB. Check monoprice if you can wait.

Otherwise, grab one that is labeled as ok for kindle or nook.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] falconeight:
It's not a micro usb, at least on mine its not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/flyer/specification.html

Should be.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I use a generic micro-usb on mine at night also. Don't get the micro and mini usb connectors confused. The micro is thinner than the mini... :-) Also try turning the cable connector upside down... I think its opposite of my HTC phone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaze00:
Standard cables certainly fit. It's sort of similar to how the G2 had the weird mini compatable connector. Some accessories will be slightly different.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
It's because the proprietary cable is ~10 volts; twice that of USB. But it will take a slower charge over micro USB. That is, they have an ideal solution given there is no higher voltage standard.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
The ac adapter that comes with the flyer will output 9v (per the labeling) but if you were to use the included 12 pin USB cable instead, it will only pull 5v max as it just has a single USB-a end (or whateverthe output rating is of the power source > USB adapter). The extra pins in the htc cable are for audio throughput and not required for charging.

*Edited for clarification*
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vToq:
Just checking, so any charger with micro usb would do? For instance if i grab blackberry charger, then it should be fine regardless diff voltage and watts?

Sorry..not an electrical engineer.. thanks!

Now I'm thinking about getting into the nightly CM7 game. I'm wondering is there anything I need to watch out for with the 2 NC's I have if I do this. Do I have to take them back to stock? Can I just follow the CM7 instructions?

Any insight and guidance would be appreciated
[Nook Color General] Bonnie_Raitt:
50 views and no replies. If you read this and can help I would really appreciate some info. I'm reluctant to proceed until I hear from someone who has traveled the road before. Thanks
[Nook Color General] brucemcl:
You can run CM7, stable or nightly, off of an SD card. You don't have to change anything on your Nooks to do this. In fact, they don't even need to be rooted. Running CM7 on the SD card will not change anything on the built-in memory of the Nook.

Look for the "size agnostic" thread, follow the directions, and you're good to go.

ps. I enjoy your music.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
yeah, just follow the instructions on flashing cm7 for the first time. and make sure you understand the CWM instructions. you may want to try a stable rom for now. there are lots of battery and kernel issues right now with the nightly builds. but not to fear the devs are working hard to fix them. just stay with the stable's and your be fine. I hope this was helpful... :)
