Hi All

I have been playing Angry Birds Rio , Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds on LG Optimus One with miks CM7 rom . I noticed it gets hanged after playing Angry Birds for some time . when i check the cpu utilization it spikes to 70% .

I have to kill the app and restart Angry Birds .

Has anyone noticed this problem .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vador9:
I take the chance to ask here. Do you also have lag in angry birds? I run cm7+francokernel+zram and i still encounter lag. Way lower than in stock rom but still, is there any way to make it run smooth?

To answer the question, no it never hangs or fc-s for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
It probably because there are too many services running on the background etc. and have made the internal task killer (not those you download from market) kill the angry birds process as it is really taking a lot of ram spaces because of its huge amount of particles... bricks, birds, velocity, physics calculation, audio...

normally the internal task killer is set to kill the foreground app to maintain system stability when your ram has only got ~5-10 mb left, but its surprising to happen in mik's cm7 as there are a lot of tweaks to make the system occupy much much less ram space.

maybe you should check whether there are too many services running in the background. in worse cases, you may try downloading auto memory manager from market and adjust the lowest 3 bars higher so that the ram will be harder to reach a low amount ;)

as mentioned above, there are a lot of particles to be loaded in angry birds.. its not a game like racing cars, they count every brick's physics separately, whatever that you can touch with the birds, are monitored.

so as to run smooth its just a problem of your hardware, you just need a higher cpu speed. :)

faq: wtf why it runs so smooth on iphone then?

a: dont forget its single task but on ur android theres a lot of process running in the background while you are playing angry birds :)

solution: just wait some seconds when you start every level and play when the birds are jumping smoothly :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vador9:
You are right about what you say, but i have seen angry birds running smooth on nokia phones for god's sake :eek: with ~522 mhz cpu-s, while we run a better model and ~729 mhz. Not to mention the great rom and kernel that we have.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] karthik_arnold1:
Hi Miasmic/vador9

Thanks for the replies .

@ vador9

Lag is present if im in stock processor speed 600 .

If OC the cpu to 480 - 730 . lag is reduced to a larger extent .

it doesnt fc for me but hangs .

@Miasmic

I checked not many process or services are running on my phone . 250MB memory is available only the cpu utiliztion spikes to 70% .

I will be check with the auto memory manager installed .
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
haha,

1) as same as apple, nokia provides single tasking so it can use all the cpu for the game

2) angry birds for android provides high resolution graphics vs low resolution on symbian phones ;) thats why they seems to run smoother

oh then maybe it is not the problem of the ram, did you move the angry birds app to the sd card? (froyo+ a2sd - moving the app excluding dalvik cache to the fat-partition) try turn off ur phone, unmount your card and wipe it cleanly (i mean using a tissue paper not custom recovery lol) sometime this helps to solve some problems :p

ehm but i see something strange here... if you are playing apps like angry birds the cpu should have be raised to 90-100%... why only 70 on ur phone? :rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] karthik_arnold1:
Hi Miasmic

Yes i had moved Angry birds to Sd card .

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hanny:
try launching a stress test with setcpu with the highest stable frequency on ur phone, and see whether there are errors. also install something that you can see ur cpu stress on the status bar from market. check if the cpu is running as high as possible.

running angry birds with 70% can only be seen on a duel core phone lol its strange on p500.

if i helped anything i dont mind if you press the thx button xd :p

good luck! :)
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
This seems to be a much better tool than Quadrant, at least as far as graphics are concerned. I'm running stock and hit a 25.2fps in Egypt and a 52.6fps in PRO. Looks like some other folks have hit up to 33.6/55.3.

Anyone running StreakDroid 1.3/HoneyStreak 1.3 try this out? What were your results?
[Dell Streak 7] NarkyMark:
...It takes longer to register than to run the tests :D

Anyway, I'm seeing this 29/52.3 With HD7-B3 - No OC

[Acer Iconia A500] zekev:
Hi guys !

I'm new to android and tablet... so far, I love it.

I bought my Iconia tab a week ago, found a lot of info here, thank you all :rolleyes:

I have a major issue right now.

After uninstalling an app (Kid Mode) the icons was still on my screen. I tried to drag it to the garbage icons and bam......

I have the Sorry message : "The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpexctedly. Please try again" + "Force close" button. I hit the "Force close" button and its in a loop :mad:

I'm force to reboot the tablet.

Now it does this with any icon i tried to drag to the garbage.

Any idea on how to solve this ?

Is there any other way then a Hard reset ?

If I do a hard reset, does the "android market" will know that all my apps are gone ? Will it be easy to re-add them ?

Thanks for any help !
[Acer Iconia A500] zekev:
Hey, never mind I decided to do a factory reset.

It's quite fast, just have to resync everything.

Thanks anyway !

Hallo,

please tell me how i change hardware keyboard from qwerty to qwertz?

Thanks for your answer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
hardware keyboard? are you talking about the onscreen keyboard? or the actual dock keyboard
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rilot:
Hardware keyboard generally means, hardware, keyboard. Dock.

Software keyboard means the onscreeen ones.

I think you can change the localisation in the keyboard setting page.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HFX9:
just that by setting the hardware keyboard does not have this item

In software keyboard is location setting, but in hardware keyboard not :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
I'm aware of that. But you can't change the layout of the "hardware keyboard" because well... its a PHYSICAL THING?!

It should be on screen but I think the OP isn't fluent in English. But yeah its in localization, you need to change it from there. It's not "hardware keyboard" as listed in OP.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
I have CM7 on my inspire and i put Newsweek Mobile widget on my homescreen and I expanded it to fit the whole screen, but now I can't remove it. I long-press the widget and a trashcan shows up, but i can't move it into the trashcan. The widget doesn't get highlighted or anything. I uninstalled the app because I thought that would help but now there's just a "problem loading widget" thing on the screen and the same problem occurs. Is there any way to remove a widget from the backend?

--
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
long press and release, a pop up menu should slide in with a "remove" option on it. i assume you are using the stock launcher ADW which comes with cyan 7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Do you have lock background on?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
I'm using launcher pro plus. The long press thing doesn't work. And what do you mean a lock background?

--
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
This can be closed. I figured it out. I changed the number of rows in Launcher Pro Plus to 8, then I was able to long-press the widget and drag it to the trashcan. Then I just changed my rows back to 5.
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
I recently noticed on my Sprint bill (3) separate charges from ExciteMob looking like the following:

Planet Technology: Multi media - 44129 ExciteMob $9.99

Planet Technology: Screen Saver - 44129 ExciteMob $9.99

Planet Technology: Ringtone - 44129 ExciteMob $9.99

I had to call Sprint and have them removed and blocked. Evidently they will send you a text message and when you reply with the normal "STOP" you evidently will be billed automatically every month from that point on.

I am trying to find out which apps they own or operate and will update at that point but in the meantime, do yourself a favor and review your bills and look for the extra charges.

If anyone knows or has additional information, please reply because this ticks me off especially when I haven't purchased anything knowingly and I will pursue as far as I can take it.

Thanks..

I found the contact information as well..calling them now and will forward to Google as well.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tinofet:
Hi .

SO i just got my Glaxy tab and i am trying to move a few video files from my PC to the tab .

When i try to copy them Windows 7 suggest me to convert them .

So when i am copying MP4 files without convert they look so small that i can bearly see anything . But if i try to convert them i takes about 3 hours to copy a 500MB file ?

When trying to copy WMV file without converting it doesnt work ...

Any suggestion or best practice on moving video files to the tab ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
I have movies in mp4 and m4v and they also look small in the included video player. However, in mVideoPlayer they fill the screen just fine.

I just downloaded a 700mb file via Dropbox and it took about 25 minutes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Seihaku:
Convert them using your own software then transfer them over, or don't convert and use a different video player that can stretch your video (Rock Player, mVideoPlayer, VPlayer).

imo this is the place the tablet is the most lacking - default video player is absolutely balls.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slal:
Use MoboPlayer. Its free and they have a codec for 3.1 tabs that plays anything. You can also view default size, full screen, vertical stretch, and 16:9. Definitely the was to go...just drag/drop, deny conversion, and play with MoboPlayer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
MKV Video Format Supported?

Does that include mkv HD movies as well?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Seihaku:
Yeah, supports 720p mkv, dunno about 1080p.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tlegower:
It did not support 1080p for me. I had the same video file in both 720p and 1080p. Mobo played the 720p perfectly, but would not open the 1080p version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
I dont think you need to convert anything. Just copy the file and play it in Mobo Player or Rock player. I think you can ignore the Windows notification and try the playback on the Tab first.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
720p works fine

I just tested the 720p and it works beautifully. Also works for mkv movies I just loaded! Fantastic!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] drae52:
Another option is to use a program like xmedia recode to convert the file into native resolution for the tab; and in a container which is compatible, then push it to you tab.

This is usually how I get my movies to work on my droid; haven't tried it yet, but it's on the list of things to do tonight.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rcrh:
for those that say they've had luck with the MKV container, can you share your encoding profile? I've not been able to get a high profile encoded video to play in an mkv container. I can demux & remux into an mp4 container and the same video works. But, I loose the ac3 audio.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
Still at work.

I didnt encode the mkv movie that I have...I snagged it from my brother but when I get home tonight I'll look it up and post it back here.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kylgore:
Transferring movies

I usually use SwiFTP and Cyberduck to transfer movies to my IO tab. Since I'm on a mac, there's no native usb transfer capability, and it only takes about 3 minutes to transfer a 700mb avi.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rcrh:
Thanks.

Mine are encoded with High L4.0. I think MKVs will only work if they are L3.1 or lower.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:
I for one would just let windows convertthem. It takes forever but it works perfectly. Did this with RED 720p and rhe movie played flawlessly in diff media playes. Didnt do it with a 720p episode of southpark and all media players had good audio but video was lagging behind. Mobo almost had it in sync but even that was off by a bit. Gonna go convert a bunch of music videos andput those suckers onhere
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dudleygb:
then what the heck is wrong with my 10.1, it plays video great, but no sound in moboplayer
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slal:
I bought a 32gb metallic GTab 10.1 on Friday. I noticed some "clicking" noises when I press on the bezel by the speaker on the right side (when holding the tablet in the default way, camera on top).

I am not pressing excessively, just any sort of pressure causes a click. It occurs when I press the screen side but not on the plastic back side. I am worried about screen looseness and possible lift in the future.

I am considering exchanging it at Best Buy, but right now its pretty minor. Is anyone else noticing this or having a similar hardware issue?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mixedmedia:
I have the same issue on my 32gb white model. It's not a big deal if it doesn't get worse, but I feel like it might be safer to just exchange it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
I'd exchange it personally. I had a Droid with screen-clicking issues once. I just ignored it for a while, but somehow it went from that to a complete touchscreen failure. Not necessarily sure it'll happen here, but I wouldn't take the chance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SenatorKen:
Hmmm...Screen Issues?

Interesting, as several getting the lcd rainbow or moisture look under screen, and a few with noticable dust specks, and your screen click. Wonder if all symtoms of screen assembly quality (albeit on a small # of devices)?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] matt310:
Not that I'm trying to break it - but if I hold the tablet in both hands, and exert *gentle* torsional force, I can feel the chassis flex and hear it creak. I thought the bezel surrounding the device was metal, but it's actually plastic. Major point loss in the design department.

I wish the xoom had an IPS or PLS panel - I'd totally sacrifice some thinness for something that felt more solid in-hand.

To me the GTab bezel feels a lot like the Nook Color - which creaked too over time. Seems to be very similar, smooth (and likely high quality) plastic. Except at the $500 price-point, it's in a whole different ballgame.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarol:
Mine is as sturdy as a rock still!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
This right here. I feel like I have finally gotten lucky being an early adopter. I have had 0 issues reported on these forums. If I were you, I'd exchange that thing. I had a lot of creaking on my transformer and it was very annoying. I'd try to ignore it and find myself purposely making it creak cause it bugged me so much.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galaxytabevo:
Not really. Aside from the CPU getting a *tad bit* warm.

Actually, when scrolling through the screens, if I have any Google widget(Books, Market, YouTube), horizontal blue pixels starting appearing. But I am sure this is a software issue, since it does not do that for the app icons.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UCSB:
My 32GB dark metallic back one is ... SOLID ... no clicks ... flawless.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kayak83:
My hardware seems solid but my microphone volume could use some boosting. I can't get anyone on here to confirm that though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ericc191:
My new tab arrived today and everything was perfect until I heard a loud click when I went to pick it up again. If I so much as rest my finger on the back side next to the left speaker grill, it makes a loud pop sound. Going to exchange.. sigh.

What files does the stock .596 browser require to fully function? I tried out Apex RC2 and then separately the AOSP GB theme from the forum here. Both of these have the AOSP browser with the highly annoying +/- buttons that always get in the way. I want to switch back to the stock browser and keep everything else, but it seems like there's more to it than just swapping out the Browser.apk file in system/app. Can anyone give some advice?

http://phandroid.com/2011/06/21/analyst-claims-iphone-5-will-be-kiss-of-death-for-android/

As an andorid fan boy , I broke in to laughter

We heard this one before, back when the iPhone 4 was first announced for Verizon: the carrier’s current smartphone subscribers would abandon their Android handsets for Apple’s phone after years of settling for less. As it turns out, that wasn’t quite the case. But if you’re wrong once, why not make the same prediction again and hope that it might come true this time. That’s what Needham analyst Charlie Wolf believes, anyway. After pinpointing a 3 percentage point drop-off in Android’s US market share in March following the release of the iPhone 4, Wolf claims that Android is only set to lose more ground.

His argument is based more on speculation than fact, but Wolf predicts the real damage will be done with the launch of the iPhone 5 concurrently on AT&T and Verizon. Why? Because Verizon subscribers knew better than to purchase an iPhone 4 mere months before the launch of Apple’s next-gen version of the smartphone. Yep, come then we will surely see most of Verizon’s Android users abandon their Google phones leading to the greatest decline in market share ever seen for a platform that saw tremendous growth in 2010.

We can’t deny that the release of the iPhone on Verizon’s CDMA network has had an effect on the smartphone market, but Android still holds nearly 50 percent to Apple’s 30 percent. Apple stands to gain more ground from floundering competitors such as RIM, not from Google’s platform. To think most Android users are simply biding their time until the right moment to pick up an iPhone just seems a bit silly. But it’s all speculation for now. Let’s revisit these figures when the iPhone 5 launches this fall
[General Topics] vbetts:
The Iphone 4 launch on Verizon wasn't a big success though. Yeah, it sells pretty decently, but then compared to the launch of other phones on Verizon, and then the launch of the 4 on AT&T, the CDMA Iphone 4 was almost nothing. Seeing that the 5 will be launched on both networks at the same time, might help it some and may give a bigger market share to Apple, but is it the kiss of death? Not at all, because even after the Iphone 5 is released there will probably be at the most 10 different Android devices released right after it.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Considering that the iPhone leads and has always been in the lead, I can see it happening. Apple isn't about to rest on their laurels and just let the competition skate by unscathed. From what I read, Apple has some major upgrades in store for the iPhone with iOS5. Android is already struggling with fragmentation and other competition like WP7. If iOS5 is actually all that it is being portrayed as being, I can see Android succumbing to iPhone. But I prefer it if Android survives and Google greatly improves it. That's what competition is supposed to do...make things hard for the industry but sweet for the market.
[General Topics] salacc:
WP7 is a competition to whom? :)
[General Topics] BenKranged:
I want to be an analyst. Is that like a college degree?
[General Topics] xaccers:
I dunno, but it's got "anal" in it.

Seriousy, WP7 succeeded in halving Microsoft's market share. Woot! Great result :rolleyes:

Unless IOS5 gives users what Android can give them (customisation, funky live wallpapers to impress their friends, no need to be tied into specific software or websites, flash) then I can't see how it will regain the market lead.

With Android you have the variety of devices, so if people want a 4.3 or 5 inch screen they can, likewise if they want a smaller one, or one with a physical keyboad.

IOS5 is going to be a big song and dance just like all the other so called amazing versions of IOS, and they all have the same failing.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Not so. The iPhone has been the most successful system in history. And it has done so with one line of phone and unchanging nature. Now Apple is changing it up. If the iPhone leads without being all that Android is, what will be the outcome if it adds features like Android?

Open minds and be rational.
