[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexleon:
there are many points to use setcpu on gs2:

-for some reason I dunno, gs2 can't manage it's 1.2ghz without gettin too warm. downclock and get rid of the burn effect.

-gs2 sports a good management of gpu (it does most of the work and setcpu doesnt down\overclock that). downclockin doesnt affect UI or video o browsing experience at all. can even downclock at 500 max speed without any sides.

-the only side u ll see it's benchmark (quadrant downgrading to 2000) but I hope u won't pay attention to such an unseful thing. benchmark doenst mean nothing, daily usage it's the only point to look at.

my settings: conservative, 200min 800max.

battery draining doesnt belong to setcpu this time, look to other settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endr1:
IT IS TRUE. I agree with every single line you wrote, it is just my expericence.

I have too setcpu conservative and undercloked 800 Mhz.

There no slow down or lag at all... But I am wondering if it gives a real boost to battery life. I am not sure of this.

I'll keep you guys posted... But I think that an undevolted Kernel it is really a need as for the solution of the damn dual core ginger bug that is sucking 20% of my battery every day
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,from my experience with my Desire and Desire HD(won't even bother with the Hero,I had no real knowledge then),governors can make a huge difference.I for one like smartass or interactive governors(mostly the same).I wouldn't suggest conservative,interactive does the job much better.Tasks get done in less time and the CPU throttles down more quickly.Other than that,you can underclock or overclock all you like,it never made any big difference in battery life for me(Unless Sammy's CPUs are different in that aspect-Snapdragons are really "overclock-friendly").That's personal preference after all! ;)

Anyway,the best solution IMO would be a vdd_levels interface.For those who don't know what it is,it is a mod made by -snq(Meet him at the Desire forums-That guy's a true LEGEND!He can patch/modify anything!),which practically allows you to change the voltage levels of the CPU on the fly rather than having to stick with the values hardcoded into the kernel.Using this and a simple script in GScript to change values that won't survive reboot or in init.d to be applied on boot,you can find the optimal voltages for your CPU(Don't forget,every CPU is unique and different),thus reducing heat and maximizing battery life.

If a dev brings that to the SGS2 it will be a big step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
I use SetCPU without issue, but only to run profiles (i limit the device to 500mhz when the screen is off). The rest of the time it scales itself up to 1.4GHz without fuss and using stock voltage. Battery life is fine, best ive had for an android device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leedavis:
Wow, I've taken SetCPU off but left JuiceDefender on and my battery life is fantastic. At 70% after slightly heavier than normal use (used for listening to music for a couple of hours this morning) and been off charge for 8.5 hours.

SetCPU seems counterproductive on SGS2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3c:
I did set ondemand which is a little more reactive and slightly smoother.

Though System Tuner is less cpu-consuming and much more useful on the SGS2. No need for all those complicated settings from setCPU. Only changing governor and changing frequencies on standby are useful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Juice Defender uses as much battery as it saves this is fact, i have SepCPU set to 200 Min - 800 Max - On demand and have Juice Defender Ultimate and i thought it was great but it was recommended to me that i could save more battery by not using this, initially i was skeptical but tried it and i was astonished at the results, my battery life improved by 9 hours (i carried out a test with JD and without)

Anyone who says SetCPU uses up loads of battery is talking nonsense,it actually saves battery if configured correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon546:
I am using Check Rom with set CPU I have it 1.2ghz max and 200. Using conservative governer. I been off charge for 15hrs, however I am using light usage I am on 72% screen on has been 5h 25m at time of writing. Not yet calibrated the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drrkgupta:
What are the settings are you using for the setcpu program in your S2?? Did you remove the Juice defender application?
[Galaxy 3 General] ozgurubuntu:
Hi,

I have upgrade my Galaxy Fit yesterday (Gingerbread 2.3.4)

I connect the phone to the computer with the usb but notification area not working, I click USB preference not work and other info, both on Windows and Ubuntu

How fix this?

P.S. (I can't root my phone superoneclick or z4root, I can't have an idea?)

Sorry for my english
[Galaxy 3 General] ozgurubuntu:
Sorry, I'm beginner in the forum. Where the mine to write my question?
[Galaxy 3 General] rudolf895:
its a gingerbread bug i conformed this on sgFit running 2.3.4

there is no usb setting option in sgFit. They improvised it to notification.
[Galaxy 3 General] ozgurubuntu:
Hmm.. I wait for next update, thanks for info
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eliak:
Hi, how can i transfer files PC>TRANSFORMER or TRANSFORMER>PC via WI-FI?

thanks for answering...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] juliensch:
i'm interested two...

also would like toknow if a good upnp soft exit without needing multiple tools like upnplay and moboplayer...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maoren99:
Try AndSMB.

Also if you have a kernel with cifs support, you can use cifs manager to mount your windows shares, so that you can directly open your shared files without copying them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xun3:
There are a few ways to do this.

The first is to use SwiFTP. This makes the transformer behave as an FTP server, then you can explore files on it using an ftp client from your computer.

The second is to use your computer as an FTP server and use AndFTP to explore files on your computer to move files onto your tablet.

I use both all the time, and they work really well.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
I use ES File Explorer (free from Android Market) on my Transformer (and before that, my GTab).

It supports browsing of FTP and LAN. So as long as you know how to set up shares on your windows PC, you can access those directories from your T.F. and copy / paste / install APK straight from your PC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CarsnGadgets:
or install File Manager HD.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd&feature=search_result

and you can browse files on your pc from the Transformer (once you have shared them in windows.) and set up the connection in File Manager HD.

You can then copy and paste them as if they were on the same machine.

It will ask for login details, these are:

your computers network ip address eg 192.168.0.2,

your log on which is the name you use to log into windows with,

and a password, again, this is your windows password.

You will need to install Windows Media Player 11 or higher and add the shared directories to your 'library' then they will show up on the shared network using UpnP or SMB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
The Cloud :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
I originally tried that. But, for whatever reason, it wouldn't see my "shares" across my network whereas ES File Explorer did.

Also, File Manager HD has advertisements. ES File Explorer doesn't clutter up your screen with ads. Unless of course you are rooted and have ad blocking software installed on your TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I'm going to offer a different solution...dropbox.

I use it constantly to transfer files to and from my phone, laptop, and TF...

Its fast and brainless.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] proplayer44:
This and "my cloud" are really simply and easy solutions that i also prefer, however they are not really wifi, or your home internal network. They require moving the data up over your broadband access and back again. If you have a large broadband monthly rate who really cares i guess but it seems kind of silly to push it up and back again. But at the same time i do't really trust free services like drop box to snoop over my stuff if not to just sell my habits or likes and dislikes to potential sales.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Ahh...right, I never thought of it that way....true.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chungylau:
There is a free app called Wireless File Transfer Lite in the Market that does what you want to do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
thanks for the tip..I'm going to try it too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Phi*:
you can try es fie explorer they have lan tab where you cantrasfer to share folders
[Eee Pad Transformer General] james robinson:
Dropbox

+1 for Dropbox!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] james robinson:
Very true!!! I never thought of dropbox like that!!! OK!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkhawkff:
Many awesome suggestions so far. Going to try a few of them, since I've been wondering the same. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fisha21:
Thanks, this works really well. I hate having multiple apps that have overlapping functions, so was keen to avoid a separate app just for file transfer. Was using File Manager HD anyway, so that works!

As for Dropbox, want to keep my files where they are, not put them in a special Dropbox folder. Also, having read somewhere that the only thing stopping Dropbox employees accessing your storage space is trust (ie no specific security measures stopping them from snooping), not sure I really trust that service!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilnanny:
Thanks you work much .for information .is Very fine work on my galaxy tab
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eliak:
i installed DROPBOX too...:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Hi,

I know someone else posted this the other day, but it was soon 'corrected' by Amazon.

However, as the title, Amazon UK are currently selling the 32Gb/3G edition of the Flyer for £479, the same price that the are selling the 16Gb/Wifi only edition.

Everyone else still seems to be selling the 32Gb/3G edition at £559 or £599.

Having talked about it for weeks, I've just placed my order. Now to see if Amazon honour the transaction.

Direct Link to product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Flyer-inch-Android-Tablet/dp/B004VF612G

Iain.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jimmy_UK:
Does that price include stylus?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
I have to say that I'm assuming that it includes the pen. The description makes me believe it does.

Also, as I understood the Pen was a 'standard' item within the EU packaging, unlike the US.

If it doesn't then it will be returned!

Iain.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jimmy_UK:
Yea Id assume it does as well from the description but Id have prefered they said it did come with it for certain.

Just spoke to HTC Europe on live chat to get confirmation about the "does it have / doesnt it have gorilla glass" and they didnt know because it isnt listed in the specification. :rolleyes: If it isnt then Im not purchasing (but its in my Amazon basket)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jimmy_UK:
Now £559.98 :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Yeah, was just noticing that too. Thankfully for me I did place the order earlier today.

Just waiting to see if Amazon find a T&C to not honour the earlier price.

Iain
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ola:
Placed the other last week for 479, received today,
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jblogg:
Seems to be a lot of mis-pricing. I got mine with stylus and everything for £479.99 (that's the 3G 32GB one) from Best Buy UK.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jah:

:mad:

So we'll just have to wait the 8.9 or 10.1 3g version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SR45:
Thank you for the YouTube video.

Wish in these types of events those that video record them would use some noise canceling microphones. Noise too loud to hear the reviewer
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ralexand:
Sorry, but I'm in a place that I can't use audio (work ;) ). Can someone relay what they said about the release date for the 8.9, if anything?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
They arn't speaking at all about the 3G or 8.9 at the event (which means they are coming later this summer. Maybe with exynos). All they say is how wonderful the PLS screen is and how the tab is running Tegra2.

However a review of SlizzedCore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-rxZwbSt4 came out, and this reviewer recieved a 3G version as a review model, so it means that maybe the 3G model of the 10.1 will be out this month along the wifi version. He didn't commented back yet according to whichever there is a SDslot on the 3G tab or not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I just have a really hard time believing Nvidia's CEO would be praising and talking up the Galaxy Tabs if they didn't all have Nvidia processors in them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Daps:
I'm pretty sure the 8.9 will have the Tegra2 in it also.

I'd be surprised unless they plan on hold the 8.9 till Icecream is released and have exynos chips in it. Which by that time I may have just given up on the 8.9 and buy the iPad2 :-|
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] koreanschoolkid:
time to get cooking on handbrake ><
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aaksheytalwar:
Tegra 2 confirmed for the 3G version too

http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] veeeee:
Guess I will not be getting a Android tablet any time soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] epicfailguy2:
Yea, but vodaphone uk lists the 10.1v 3G with 1,2ghz processor.

I don't know what this means but... a 1,2ghz tegra matches an exynos in benchmarks. (Hell the transformer overclocked to 1.6ghz does 5400 on quadrant lol).

Wait & see my friends, if the 3G comes with microsd and exynos, I'm just giving my transformer to my gf and subscribe one of that lame 3g contract.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RaindancerAU:
Could even be the Qualcomm dual core SoC really.
[Thunderbolt General] junjlo:
I would like to go back to ginger bread has anyone who hasn't switched bricked recently?
[Thunderbolt General] ctinsley:
When I first read about the bricks I switched back to froyo, I stayed on it for less than 72 hours before I switched back to gb. So far my experience has been great not a single random reboot and everything works as it should. I'm more hesitant of messing with system files as I normally would be but I think I can hold off tweeking if the trade off is a complete gb sense experience.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
I don't see any problem with switching back, since the intiial bricks (3-5 people?), I haven't heard of anyone else bricking.

Just be sure to wear your tinfoil hat when flashing. :p
[Thunderbolt General] djinsydius:
I don't think there have been many (or any) bricks since the announcement
[Thunderbolt General] chrisjm00:
I'm running CM7 gingerbread just to be safe. Ill switch back when the dev who originally posted the warning says we are good to go back.
[Thunderbolt General] rnot:
In your opinion is cm7 tolerable for a daily? I've been wanting to make the jump but have been hesitant.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Yes. Call volume is a tad bit low (not a problem for me but may be for some people who are hard of hearing, or work/live in a noisy area). Absolutely no problems with 3G and 4G works by just switching from 4G to 3G, getting a strong signal, then switching back.
[Thunderbolt General] sting5566:
I ran the latest release for over a week with no issues at all.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
It works plenty well enough to use daily. The battery life wasn't great for me. since being on Das Bamf 2.0-5 I've really started to like the new Sense bits so I couldn't go back to CM7. Plus the battery seems to last forever on 2.0-5. If my phone takes a dump I guess I'll at least be able contribute a broken phone to the crew trying to figure out the problem.
[Thunderbolt General] cigar3tte:
From what I've read, you'd lose 4G, which is a deal-breaker for me.

I'm waiting for the next leak of Gingerbread before going back.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
You don't lose 4G. I have had a constant 4G connection for almost 42 hours. The only time you may "Lose" it is when rebooting but all you have to do is switch to 3G and back.
[Thunderbolt General] cigar3tte:
Are you talking about CM7? I was referring to CM7, which from what I've read, does not have working 4G.
[Thunderbolt General] crookshanks:
This is from a random page in the CM7 thread:

I'm not sure where you've read it doesn't work. I've used CM7 in a 4g area and it worked fine. Some may have had problems with 4g not working or hand offs between 4g-3g but for the most part it works.
[Thunderbolt General] bstag:
Yep 4g working fine with 223 radio for me with CM7.
[Thunderbolt General] cigar3tte:
I read it from one of those threads talking about the missing RIL.
[Thunderbolt General] dachef3184:
been running bamf 2.0 since it came out never switched back when i heard about the scare. havent had any problems.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Yes I am talking about CM7 RC.03, released 6-1.
[Thunderbolt General] chrisjm00:
CM7 is fine. 4G handoffs are fine, everything works fine so far. Haven't found any issues yet. Only small annoyance is after I get off a phone call, the screen wont respond to anything unless I lock the phone and unlock it again. But that only seems to happen if the other person hangs up first.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
How long does it take for GPS lock? Last I heard GPS was still wonky
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
For me it takes under 5 seconds. I don't know how others are faring but it really doesn't matter where I try to get a lock it comes up almost instantly.
[Thunderbolt General] spdrcr999:
I know this may be a stupid question, but how are you guys switching between 3 and 4G on CM7? I don't see an LTE mode in the phone info menu.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
CDMA + LTE Evdo. Thats the 4G option and can be found in Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
[Thunderbolt General] spdrcr999:
Ah, I see. I was looking in the Phone Information after hitting *#*#4636#*#* like in Froyo. Much easier. Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow at work when I'm in a 4G area.
[Thunderbolt General] dbow32:
Can I ask a possibly dumb question? What benefits or changes do you get with GB?
[Thunderbolt General] Kc0r8y:
http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/

I installed the Bamf GB Rom and radio. It worked great for about an hour then i started getting looping reboots. Too bad I really like the rom. Back to Froyo I go.
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
Expected to arrive in September... The ST18i Urishi.

I don't think SE releases just one phone so maybe they will also release their rumored (and photographed by Mr. Blurricam) 16 megapixel SE - Android at the same time.

GSMArena

Hardware wise, it appears to be the *same* as the Neo but with a smaller 3.2" screen (same resolution). Considering that the Neo was supposed to be a smaller version of the Arc, I find it confusing why they would have bothered with the Neo. They should have just released this one instead. Personally, I prefer this one.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dolmangar:
Been seeing a few people talk about the soft buttons getting in the way while using the pen. It's a matter of timing and the pen has to touch the screen before your hand does to keep the buttons from being activated.

However, I did see a review that mentioned something that would be great.

I'm sure that someone could write an app that would control which set of soft buttons would be activated based on rotation. Is this API open within the Flyer so that someone can control them?

In portrait mode I'd actually prefer that the buttons on the left side be active, and in landscape I'd prefer the buttons on the "bottom" of the Flyer be activated - this would be the reverse of the current implementation (actually I'd really prefer to be able to control both independently).

This would solve a few issues. It would prevent users from touching the buttons with their hand while writing, but it would also put the buttons next to your hand while you're holding the device instead of having to move your hand to access the buttons you'd be able to do it with your thumb.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SciFlyer:
That sounds like a clever idea. I would use that feature if it existed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sealite:
It is a fantastic idea, I would pay for it!
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I posted this at the end of the last thread about whether or not the Evo has GG, but I didn't want it to get lost without some views, so here it is again. Mods, if this is improper on my part, please forgive and remove.

So I promised video evidence of the durability of the hardware version 0002 Evo glass (first version from Jun 4, 2010). Here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AVoN7ca0r8

Like I said before, if it isn't Gorilla Glass, it sure missed a good chance! Please note that once the crack appears, it is the LCD, and not the glass that cracks. The glass is still completely intact with only a few minor superficial scratches. And I should clarify that I inadvertently used the word, "cover" when referring to the glass face after the crack appears. There is no cover or any type of protection on the face of the Evo in this video.

UPDATE: In contrast to the above, I just had another hardware version 0002 Evo come in to my office (I'm the IT Manager for my company) that was water damaged and inoperable. I rapped the face on the corner of my desk somewhat aggressively (not nearly as hard as I was striking in the video), and it spiderwebbed completely. Seems to be an inconsistency in the glass, possibly from batch to batch.
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
Impressive yes, but I feel bad for the poor phone....lol.

Please tell me that it at least had a bad ESN or some other problem and you didn't just wreck a perfectly good EVO.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Yes, it had 3 bright white spots, a bad speaker, and power issues.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Does anyone think they might've started out with normal glass, and then changed to Gorilla glass in the middle of a batch?

Reason I ask is because the screen that spiderwebbed had almost NO flexibility before the glass broke. The one that I beat the **** out of, I can flex the entire phone and put a pretty good arc in the glass without breaking the phone.
[EVO 4G General] Chuki82:
Tempered glass is pretty hard, beating on it head on like that it's gonna take alot of force to break it.

Now take it outside and drop onto concrete and make sure it hits the corner of the phone. With tempered glass the edges are the weak spot, if it falls flat should be ok, if it falls on the edge, more then likely its gonna break the glass.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't seem to be consistent with the two Evo's that I tested. Although, I did not do the "corner" test, one result was completely inconsistent with the other. And I understand that each piece of glass can have different failure points, but like I said above, one is more flexible than the other, which would seem to indicate different glass altogether.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
My evo has flew out of my hand and slid across pavement... not a single scratch.
[EVO 4G General] Necrosan:
It's Gorilla Glass.

Quoted from their own website: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products

Anyone denying it probably dabbles heavily in religion and snake oil.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Yeah, I think I'd have to say that one had gorilla glass, and one didn't.
