Haha, you are a genius!!! I should have posted this in the development section where it shouldnt have belonged. This a the general section and I want some general discussion from fellow XDA members. Look at Mr Helpful being all trolly. Such a hypocrite, prides himself on protecting the noob but then trolls around harassing those that follow the rules because his poor wittle feelings got hurt. This is my last response to you considering ill use the lovely tools that XDA provides us to just block your sorry soul. Take care Robin Hood, dont let your tights get too wadded up.

Game, set, match!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You're kidding, right?

He goes and flames another forum member for "posting in the wrong section."

If you read the thread you would see that he was suggesting that forum members that violate the rules "SHOULD be flamed."

Then he posts something that is easily answered if he simply would read around [which is a rule] and connect two and two together.

Pot calling the kettle black much?

But I guess "that's different" huh? :rolleyes:

Addition: Not to mention complaining about the lack of development which is a no-no around here.

One of the main reasons this official GB update will be used by few is the fact that it is just sense 1.0.

I will tell you this when you use some of the roms that have the sense 3.0 lock screen you fall in love with that, plus alot of elements are missing.... IDK what else to say except that a lot of people are not happy with just sense 1.0 and the demand sets the market...
[EVO 4G General] samsunghater:
Apparently people dont read or atleast keep up ...the leak was sense one cuz they were playing with size when they got it figured out 2.1 was implemented also if u look up the official roms u should see sense 2.1

Yeah I agree. I'm using virus with sense 3 and It's awesome!

[G2 and Desire Z General] nik3r:
Hi, I spend last few days optimizing voltage table on my Desire and it left me wondering.

I bumped into several situations where 2 or 3 frequencies would be stable on the same voltage level. My question is, theoretically, if 300MHz would use the same voltage as 800MHz, would the power consumption increase proportionally or would it remain fairly similar?

Seeing that 300MHz would need more burn time at the same voltage to complete a task that 800 MHz would do in fraction of that time and then idle, this leaves me puzzled. Is it better to always use highest frequency of the group with same voltage for better efficiency? Or does the slower frequency actually consume less power even though it has to work longer and uses the same voltage?

Please enlighten me or discuss ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] durps:
I would also like to be enlightened on this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] waydownsouth:
AFAIK your assumption is on the right track, get the job done as quick as possible & get back to idling...

Slightly off topic, but somewhat relevant

byrong did a great write up on the effects of cpu speed vs screen brightness power consumption here that may be be of interest...
[G2 and Desire Z General] nik3r:
Interesting but still doesn't answer one question:

If my 245, 368 and 768MHz would be stable at the same voltage, does it matter if I set 768MHz as my minimum/idle frequency instead of 245MHz? Would is consume more power in the long run say on conservative governor?

And what about the screen-off profile? Consider a scenario when I'm playing an MP3 while screen is off and the player will still take a lot of CPU power to pre-buffer the song, apply equalizer, post-processing etc. Now would that nearly constant burn theoretically consume more power on the 245MHz or 768MHz? It still has to do the same work and 245MHz should just have higher constant load, right?

And how about complete idle. Does it really matter if I idle on 245 or 768 MHz if the voltage and actual work done is identical?

This is I'm sure something everybody is asking but nobody knows the real answer. Unless I'm speaking utter rubbish it's perhaps time to run some tests.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Even if the voltages are the same for different frequencies, I'm sure higher frequencies draw higher amounts of current (as shown in byrong's research, although his voltage tables were not stated). If you change your min cpu freq from 245 to 768 MHz I'd almost guarantee more power consumption, even when idle. I could be wrong though. If you're so curious, why don't you try and post back?
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
I might be wrong but my $0.02

From what I can remember in class, Power = voltage x current

To do the same amount of work, supplying lesser voltage would mean more current is consumed. That said, if less work is being done at the same voltage, less current would be consumed.

So running the CPU at a slower clock cycle means less work is being done, so less current consumption, compared to running it at full 768MHz.

I think ... ;p
[G2 and Desire Z General] nik3r:
Well I think I will make some empiric testing as soon as I find a way to log current current (yea funny :D) to a file.

Even if your $0.02 are right, you're still talking about drawing less current over longer time or more current in a short burst. Of course there are apps like games that will probably take as much horsepower as they can get for redrawing the screen - in that case lower constant frequency is better, because higher frequency would actually have to do more work - drawing more FPS just because it can. For minimum frequency the situation is completely different as the apps only require bursts of workload.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
I thought you read waydownsouth's link?

In the methodology section byrong states he used CurrentWidget to log current over time. You can also use Battery Monitor Widget.

By the way, his methodology is pretty excellent as it minimizes as many variables as possible, and he wrote his own script to keep the cpu working at a controlled rate. I think at a minimum, you should put the phone in airplane mode while conducting the tests.
[Xperia Play General] EeJay:
Hi everyone :-)

I recently updated to the new 2.3.3, and can no longer access the sync page (via Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Sony Ericsson Sync).

It just hangs at the first page - which redirects you - and when I select the reload link, it just brings me to a blank white page and stops in its tracks.

I could access this problem free before, even after rooting.

Is anyone experiencing the same or a similar problem?

Does anyone have a fix or workaround for this?

Note: To update my software, I had to flash with the updated (original Sony Ericsson) ROM using flashtool, not sure whether or not this could be the cause or whether or not it is irrelevant.

EeJay
[Xperia Play General] bigsky2:
Sony Ericsson Sync / Sony Ericsson online account is down for maintenance for the last few weeks.

I also have the same problem when I tried to setup SE Sync on my Play a few days ago.

Oddly though, SE Sync on my X10 still works. I don't receive any error messages when I force a manual sync. But since I cannot log into Sony Ericsson Online Account, I cannot verify if it is indeed syncing and fully working.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenguru:
I checked the box and the label under the battery, googled for "secret codes" ... but I just can't find my NSs' mfg dates anywhere - "my NSs" being two factory unlocked i9023s, carrier id EUR, running 2.3.4 (GRJ22).

While we're at it I'd also like to find out where they were built (the actual factory, not just the country).

Why do I want to know? GPS works ok-ish (still not great, but what can you do) on one but is nigh unusable on the other and I was thinking, maybe one particular batch or plant has shoddy quality control.

Thanks for any pointers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Register it on the Samsung website. When you enter in the HEX it will give you a manufacture date.

[myTouch 4G General] doooshty:
This wasn't a very hard mod to do, but I think the phone looks a million times better. It started when I noticed a scratch on my back cover. I started picking at it, thinking a industrial bare metal back might be kind of cool. A little more scratched off, and to my surprise it was a beautiful polished metal underneath the exact same shade as the bevel on the front. So little by little I would scrape more. It was taking a great deal of time, so I decided to try using the edge of a thin piece of metal I had laying around. I started slow because I was unsure if the polished metal would scratch, it didn't. As I made better time now I was prepared for the t-mobile and HTC branding to come off, they did not. They, like the dots appear to be etched into the metal underneath. So now I have a beautiful, polished metal back on my phone at no cost. Seeing as how it matches the bezel and the branding is etched in, it seems that this was the intended look at one point. Why would HTC and T-Mobile cover this beautiful metal with a frosted coating? I always thought that the back looked out of place. Was it for fingerprints? Was it an antenna issue? I haven't noticed any ill effects yet, be advised it is a fingerprint magnet though. If you like please follow me on twitter @Dustin_aka_D, I'd appreciate it. Also, it's not hard, but is time consuming and tedious. Hope you like...
[myTouch 4G General] _Allan_:
So, it's just a thin plastic/vinyl layer over the metal?

How prone is it to finger prints now?
[myTouch 4G General] doooshty:
It's actually not as bad for fingerprints as I thought it would be. The gloss underneath seems to be scratch resistant and kinda repels fingerprints. Wipes clean on a shirt.
[myTouch 4G General] MassMurderer25:
I did the same thing to my thunderbolt. Works very well.
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
Someone else posted doing the same a few weeks ago, for the same reasons: noticed small scratches and stripped it all off. My wife actually did this to hers this week for again the same reason lol. It looks nice for sure, definitely shows finger prints a bit worse but they do wipe clean easily. Took her about two days on and off with a credit card, in between a cramped hand, haha.
[myTouch 4G General] doooshty:
Yeah, I used one of those smashed souvenir pennies, worked great. Definite cramped hand. Love it though
[myTouch 4G General] gixer2000:
I did this is about 20 minutes with a dime. Looks great and only cost me 10 cents.:)
[myTouch 4G General] The D'oh!boy:
20min? haha im on the second day using a quarter, and ive gotten thru about 14 rows of those markings on the back of the phone
[myTouch 4G General] gixer2000:
I just went nuts up and down then went across. It seemed like no matter how much pressure i put it didnt scratch the cover. A quarter has a more rounded edge than a dime that's why I used the dime. Now I just need to know if the area around the camera lens can be done. It looks like the same stuff but can't be fixed if I chunk it
[myTouch 4G General] itzsmokey:
this takes forever with a quarter.....wish i had a sander
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
buffer with polishing compound ;)
[myTouch 4G General] SuperSwaggtastic:
I went crazy with the sand paper and ended up scratching the shiny surface, but it still looks nice. Ill get over it soon enough c[:
[myTouch 4G General] gixer2000:
Well I could have told you that sandpaper would scratch. At least it still looks good
[myTouch 4G General] itzsmokey:
I was wondering if we can do this to the part around the camera?
[myTouch 4G General] gixer2000:
I started to try that and it seems like around the camera is plastic so it did not work in the small area that I tried
[myTouch 4G General] angital:
I'm trying this on my white mt4g. It's already chipping away as I hate phone covers, they just don't have the sleek look like the phone.

Varnish or paint stripper works perfect, only took 5mins.
[myTouch 4G General] ionic7:
This just in, sandpaper is abrasive.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
LMAO sand paper, Ummm.... I did this a few days after I got the phone with a nickel. I realized that no matter what I did it was gonna come off anyways so off I went to the pocket and grabbed a shiny nickel and went to work (took about 10 minutes) used a puffing pad I had from a dremel kit I use some times at work and it came out nice.

This is a great fix for a bad design, the flat matte clear coat was a bad idea but was intended to protect the original image based below obviously, personally I would have used a clear textured vinyl coat over it and it would have lasted so much longer (I use to use it for custom boxes in cars for a 3d effect with layers of paint on each, works great) but either way this comes down to the point that the internal design was well thought out but not so much thought went into protecting the design.

Works for me.
[myTouch 4G General] :
Buffer and polishing compound would probably make it more shiny - I'll have to try that this weekend.

I too used a nickel (credit card, poker chips and my kids' plastic toys didn't work) but it took way more than ten minutes. More like two hours. The result was amazing. I love this mod. It feels like HTC added the coting as an afterthought because the metal attracts fingerprints too easily. Still, it looks awesome when I shine it and it has a better grip.
