[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
I have a few questions about OC/UV kernels or rather the theory behind them, particularly the UV part.

My natural instinct is to believe that when the voltage is dropped that the amps would increase so the CPU would still have the same amount of power to run the CPU at a particular frequency. This of course would negate any advantage in UV. I assume that my assumption is wrong or someone that really knows something would have pointed it out.

On the practical side of things, if the above is not true does the phone/cpu use the same amount of power if it is running at 216 Mhz with 770 mV as it does running at 400 Mhz with 770 mV. Same question would also apply to high frequencies that are UV and their relationship to heat generation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shilent:
Not sure about smartphones, but with my computer, I can drop 10 watts just from under volting when idle. Under clocking makes an even bigger difference. I'll get some exact numbers in a few mins, this got me wondering lol.

Edit:

At the wall my PC will pull 111 watts @ 1.6GHz idle. @ 4.5GHz it pulls 137 watts on idle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VisedMonk:
I wish I had a link I could provide, but the basic science is this (learned this from Calkulin, Ziggy, and trial and error with my evo):

uV

:

When you uV your cpu, each frequency step draws less power. For example, a non-uV'd cpu might draw 1300 mV at 1000 MHz whereas a uV'd cpu might draw 1225 or 1250 mV at 1000 MHz. There is no sacrifice in performance. You also get a cpu that runs cooler because it is drawing less power. The combination of these things means better batter life because you are drawing less power (obvious) and generating less heat (heat is one of the enemies of Li-ion batteries holding a charge).

But not all chips are the same, and some tolerate lower voltages better than others. If a particular voltage is too low, you get crashes, reboots, and other things like that because voltages that are too low make things unstable.

OC

:

The theory behind OC is that the higher frequencies allow you to complete tasks faster. If the cpu can complete a certain task in a shorter period of time, it will be in use for less time overall, thereby allowing it to return to its idle frequency faster and stay in its idle frequency state longer. Again, this combination increases battery life because the power drawn from the battery is less. You can think of this as a "race to the finish" situation.

For example, if you OC to 1100 MHz, you might complete a task in 1.5s, whereas at 1000 MHz that same task might take 2s. The cpu actually works for a shorter time and returns to idle 0.5s faster. Add this up over an entire day, and your cpu actually spends more time at idle when OC'd than when not OC'd.

Again, just as with the uV, not all chips can tolerate maximum OC and just become unstable. That's why you've seen some G2x chips be able to run at 1500 MHz and be stable, while others can only tolerate 1300 MHz. Instability by trying to OC the cpu too much will lead to the same types of problems as lowering the voltages too far.

OC & uV together

:

When you OC and uV, you allow the cpu to run at a higher frequency and draw less power at the higher frequency. This means you get tasks done faster and use less power to complete them, which allows the cpu to return to its idle frequency faster.

This is a real-world hypothetical: Imagine you have a cpu running at 1100 MHZ at 1300 mV and 1000 MHz at 1300 mV. When this is the case, your OC'd/uV'd cpu completes a task faster (in 1.5s rather than 2s) and actually ends up drawing less power than the non-OC'd/non-uV'd cpu because it completes the task faster and returns to idle sooner. When you add this up over an entire charge cycle, you should get better battery life.

Anyone who have Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 (aka YP-G70, aka Galaxy Player) Rom?

This device:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericvoid:
Hello guys.

I know this is not the right place for this post. But as anyLiv have started this thread let me ask you two things. We need a YP-G70 board, and a ROM from anywhere but China.

I also got a brand new YP-G70, but it was bought in China. Could anyone provide that ROM? Because it comes with no Android Market and other apps from Google, so it's quite useless for western people.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilh:
I'm very interested in getting a non Chinese ROM. Lets just say after a series of idiot moves on my part I semi-bricked my device and had to reload it with a Chinese ROM. It has Google Apps and the Market but doesn't work with the firmware upgrade feature of Kies or the other Samsung tool like Kies (the name escapes me at the moment). Also some things are moved around and I would just like the original software back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanThePimpMan:
Just a quick question here.

When I flash some i9000 themes, I notice that in CWM it reports it as all fine and dandy, no errors, the dialogue telling me that I am good to reboot. The problem is when I reboot, nothing has changed, I will have the same theme that I had before I flashed. I have tried a revert theme for my ROM, then flashing a theme again and result in the same thing.

Would it be safe to assume that the theme zips are cwm2 and when I flash them in cwm3, it shows the correct dialogue, but doesn't actually flash them?

So I don't have enough posts to post in the Dec forum... but I figured I might not be the only one in my situation...

So far I have only one bug since installing Serendipity 7. Videos won't play... select a video from gallery and it says: "unable to open video".

(Upgraded from GR12 via rom flash in cm)

Sent from a GingerCappy S7
[Captivate General] punkgambitpr:
Serendipity VII don't have the Samsung video player installed from default, you have 2 option:

-Install your favorite Player like Vital player or Rock player from the market

or

- create and download a package with the Samsung Video Player from serendipity add-on kitchen. on the serendipity 7 website.

and install it from recovery
[Captivate General] parkerdjohnson:
Do I have to rename the zip to update.zip? I tried flashing it as Serendipity.zip, and it went through, but it appears to have installed.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
The only time you have to rename something to update.zip is when using the stock 2e recovery because that's the only file it will install, with cwm recovery you can install any zip file.
[Captivate General] punkgambitpr:
no need to rename

put it on the internal sdcard

go into recovery

select install zip from sdcard

select choose sip from sdcard

find the serendipity.zip and install it

then go back and reboot system now

after the phone boot you will find the video app on the app drawer.
[Captivate General] gsarnold:
What?! No Root?! No Recovery?!

I am trying to flash Serendipity 7 over Serendipity 6.4.

I got through the Odin section of the instructions (bootloader, GB, etc.)

Now I need to flash the Serendipity 7 ROM, but it looks like what I have is totally stock -- RootChecker/CWM says it's not rooted, and there's no Recovery installed that I can figure out how to get to.

Did I miss something? Is this normal? How do I get into recovery?

If CWM is not there, how do I get it on there if I'm not rooted?

========================

UPDATE:

I think I figured it out. Hold VOL_UP and POWER until the screen flashes the banner three or four times and then it goes into green recovery like it should.

Whew!

========================
[Captivate General] xcrunner4623:
I got up to Step 7, where the phone rebooted, but can't go any further after setting up. It doesn't have an option to boot into download mode and Vol Down + Power doesn't work.
[Captivate General] MadGoat:
You sir are awesome. Thanks for thee info!

So now... I'm sure there are better video players out there than the Samsung one? Which one do y'all suggest?
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Not really... the stock video player plays every format imaginable (mkv, mp4, avi, divx, etc up to 720p) and does it using GPU acceleration, which to date, no other app can do. This means full playback without dropped frames, and for me at least, my CPU only runs at about 400-600 MHz during 720p playback. No other video player can compare with that. Also, during playback, you can use the power button to lock the screen, and prevent accidental touches from interrupting the video.

I'd stick with it unless you have a specific need otherwise.

Also, since your new to XDA, bit of advice: Questions like this are certainly encouraged, and we're all here to help each other, but this sort of question would be best in the Q&A forum, not the development thread. The reason why the Devel section is closed to new members is that it is for "development related posts only". Also, only create new threads if you're absolutely sure no existing thread already exists where you can ask your question.

Good luck modifying your phone and welcome to XDA!!

Hi guys,

This maybe off topic but i've run out of ways to solve it. So basically i just got my WIFI 5.0 ( YP-G70EW 16GB). But the trouble is i cant connect it to my wifi where all my other gadgets-sgs2&tab 10.1 have no problem. Now i read from previous post that this is due to froyo 2.2 bug. My wifi connects then discoonects then wont reconnect again.

I've tried to update mt tab 5.0 using kies but i should've known better. It's total RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wasted 3 hours of my life!!!!!!

I see two solutions:

1) Can someone tell me a workaround the wifi issue thing or

2) Can i update my tab 5.0 using Odin? If yes, what firmware can i install keeping in mind that i have a YP-G70EW.

Thanks so much!!!!
