Why don't you make it yourself?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
Please someone, tell me what could be the advantages and disadvantages of Overvolt and Undervolt, and what could be used for? Please inform me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Overvolt can be used to make the phone more stabile at higher frequenses so if we whould have overvolt we whould probobly be able to overclock to 800MHz or more stabile. Undervolt can be used to save power and improve the battery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
But Overvolt will increase the Temperature of the phone at crazy rate am I right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skyboyextreme:
Not that crazy I guess
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
That depends on how much you overvolt, your phone can get overheated without overvolt also but it is easier to overheat it with overvolt.

EDIT: Off topic, sorry.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
My standard OC is at 748 and when I set it at 76something it starting getting hot, guess that in 800 it will spraying flames from the 3.5 jack plug.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
You are wrong, my friend can set his phone to max 826mhz without reboots or FLAMES!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kuyagaol:
this is not overvolt module thread. please respect the OP.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junixquiaoit:
offence guys, what is the disadvantage with auto light sensor that you want to disable? @_@
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] moaj:
i hope you post it around feb when I want to throw to garbage my x8:D coz of crazy brightness even though i turn it off. Now theres no problem with custom roms
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AnDyX:
Constantly dims and brightens the screen while I'm doing something on my phone :) I just prefer one and set by myself brightness.

I rather planning to make some enhancement to doixanh X8Overclock module. I want to check if adding more granulated frequencies are possible and how it will be working with ondemand/conservative guvernor.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bogdan_mihai554:
If you're overclocking your processor and it becomes unstable, you should over-volt to keep it stable, but not too much overclocking and overvolting or you'll fry your phone...

Undervolt is for people that don't overclock and want to save battery
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] feb289:
if i flash this then i would lose my dual touch?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AnDyX:
This zip is not intended to use via xRecovery - module must be used manually.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] firdausmbois:
Its good to have someone who make a something like this cause i think when they make something like new roms they just focusing on their rom not their really project....

i dont know why some people mad when someone asking about overvolt (they just need to answer possible or not)

for the record the heat is from the batteries not the cpu maybe if you overvolt this phone it make your phone batteries blow (or that was too extreme... ^^)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] XperianPro:
Wrong thread
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AnDyX:
If someone want to check - I found simpler solution for fooling light sensor - just by settings the same values for targets.

so remove/comment out

insmod /system/lib/modules/ax8noals.ko

and changes line with 'curve::targets' to:

echo 50,50,50,50,50 > $dev/curve::targets

in hw_config.sh and check if this works for you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
I think it worked for me!

Thanks for this tip! :)

BTW: Does it mean that We don't need ax8noals.ko in modules, anymore? (Can I delete ax8noals.ko)?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AnDyX:
Yep - ax8noals.ko is not needed.

Hello!

I am a bit of a starter about flashing ROMs and stuff so i want to ask you guys the following..

I learned alot about ROMs and their costum kernels but nevertheless, i havent heared anything anywhere on this forum about flashing another kernel on a different ROM.

What i mean is, is it possible to use RCMix3D 1.6v KINGDOM ROM and flash another kernel to it..like this one? Could there be any problem afterwards? Wifi not working, or any other bugs?

I thank you for your answers in advance! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraise:
Hi,

you got answer in question.

yes it's possible and yes you can have trouble like nomore wifi.

But it can also improve (really really really) speed and battery life...

There is no really problem to flash a other kernel with differents rom.

JUST to a NANDROID BACKUP and try!

:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Yes sometimes kernals and roms don't play nice with each other. So make sure to do a.nandroid.

The kernal you linked to is for aosp roms, so its not compatible with sense based roms. You can try leedroids newest kernal

No hay de queso no mas de papa
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
There are only a few roms that play nice with Capy's Rom, It is using (by default) an earlier version of M deejay's Rom (not the latest v1.0 unity kernel)

But other kernels such as Buzz OC/UV, even LeeDroid's

I personally use v23 of m deejay's Kernel

These are confirmed working. I dont know about others.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miHah:
Well, thank you guys for those answers :)

So actualy i've made a little "research" and is it possible that RCMix3D KINGDOM v1.6 is now using the newest MDJ Kernel? As it is written in my SetCPU application, the current Kernel that i am using is "Linux version 2.6.35.13-MDJ V23 .. and so on.."(and i did not change it) so the numbers match those from Unity V2 Kernel from MDJ.

Edit:

If i correct myself, RCMix3D K. v1.6 is using v23 MDJ Kernel and not Unity v2 :)

I just flashed Unity v2 on RCMix3D and its perfect :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
This thread is about the famous 'data hanging' problem experience on SGS2's and how to address it on the Three Network in the UK. (Where the green arrow gets stuck on uploading with no download).

The problem from what I understand is that the handset constantly changes between GPRS, 3G, H and H+ to save power. Fast Dormancy is a setting the SGS2 uses to make this even more frequent.

The Three network is pretty flaky, and relies on 'borrowing' signal from other providers. This means EVEN MORE changes. The SGS2 doesn't deal with changes particularly well and due to the sheer number, often gets stuck when a new connection is formed. Cycling data connection will fix the problem temporarily

I get this problem with stock firmware a little and custom firmware a lot.

I do not want to be stuck on KE4 forever and I do not want Three's stupid games installed. I am very annoyed.

Update 19 August 2011

I spoke to Three today. I explained what happened and both the first line rep and his manager knew the problem that I have. They acknowledged that it is an issue that they are in talks with Samsung about trying to fix.

They told me that I can have an exchange, but that EVERY SINGLE ANDROID PHONE ON THEIR NETWORK has this problem.

However they still refused to give me a refund as I'm (well) out of my 14 day cooling off. I told the guy that under the Sale of Goods Act, if something doesn't do what it says on the box I can get a refund for an indefinite 'reasonable' amount of time.

I am getting a call back from his superior this week. Will report on progress, but this is big. Three are selling phones that they know don't work properly on a mass scale. I am going to use this to my advantage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I bought mine sim free. Was on t mobile for a while and moved the 3 a couple of weeks ago. I've not noticed any problems as you've described. I once had this on O2 though and it turned out to be a localised network fault.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanchless:
Are you using juicedefender? JD caused that same problem with my old Milestone, but so far it's fine on SGS2 on Three.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t5lad:
Mike, mine is exactly the same. It will absolutely fly for most of the day (even sometimes days at a time) and then it will just get stuck. Press and hold power to deactivate, and reactivate 'data network mode' and is well again till next time.

Seems to happen more when the phone has been sleeping for a prolonged time but not always the case. Doesn't appear to be any pattern. Changing ROM makes no difference here and I've quadruple checked my APN settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
Known issue.Is not carrier dependent.Same here with Vodafone Greece.Some guys told that is hardware fault and some software.I think is software problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue1k:
It is the modem firmware. Once I updated to kf2 modem the problem dissapeared.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
This happens to me most days, I have been rebooting to get back online. I will try the flight mode on and off to see if that helps.

But this is obviously a problem with Three network. I just thought it was Three`s sneaky way of throttling my "as much as you can eat" data plan.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
I have KF2 modem and the issue continues.

I am glad to hear that others face the same problem. Is anyone in the UK on another network experienceing it? My friend is on Vodafone and we have the same ROM. He does not experience the issue at all.

Does anyone have a link to a thread which documents this issue?

I rely on Whatsapp and Email for communication, and this stops both from working. I might actually have to send my SGSII back if it continues :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichGuk:
I'm on Three UK and have not experienced this problem yet. Shall let you know if/when I do.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
If anyone manages to fix this, please share.

Incidentally, my bluetooth does a very similar thing with my car stereo. It just freezes and requires cycling off and back on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoro25:

I also do the flight mode recycle.

I'm also using juice defender.

It's not a major issue for me more of an annoyance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanchless:
I just remembered something you can try. Change the APN from ( i think) three.co.uk to just 3INTERNET.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shardill:
I also having this problem from last week. Before I do not have this problem. May be network problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
So far, this appears to be working!

(although I can no longer check my usage on the Three mobile website, but that's not too much of an issue)

I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.

Incidentally, I did not get this issue until I started flashing ROMs - or at least I didn't notice it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebirds:
I've been having this issue the past few nights on Orange. Fine during the day but at night the data stops.

Reboot the phone and it comes back. Just about to try KF2 modem to see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantell:
yeh i have the same problem.... i can be going on internet browsing away then 4-5 pages in it just stops... and takes 1-2mins load and then just stops all together.

i dunno why its doing it...

im gonna call THREE in the morning ask what the hell going on.

also the H is soooooooo slow

3G when working is ok speed, but omg H is slow as
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
Please do let them know that a number of us are experiencing this. Although it doesn't seem limited to THREE, it definitely isn't on every handset.

Mine still hasn't done it since I changed APN as recommended above though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolcat12:
I had the dropping issue on 3internet aswell as three.co.uk

Upgraded to KF2 and seems to have fixed the issue.

My H is around 10 meg....peak times around 5 meg...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
OK, unusual update. Changing the APN seems to have fixed it. The issue hasn't happened in quite some time now, whereas it usually happens several times a day.

However, since changing the APN, certain websites will not load. Namely eBay's non-mobile site and thepiratebay. I'm thinking maybe using this APN imposes some kind of block on your account?

EDIT: This thread indicates that there is indeed an adult filter on the 3INTERNET APN, and that changing it also stops MMS and various other services from working :(

I think I'll have to call THREE tomorrow and see what they say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
I wonder if there is a setting I can change on o2 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonwan:
i dont think it's 3 related. I bought mine unlocked phone on the release day from phones4u in the UK, but have been using in HK ever since, and i get the same problem on rooted KE7, ZSKF1, ZSKF4, Litening ROM 1.4.

However only lately though, i didnt notice it during the first 7 weeks, but its more frequent now.

I normally goto Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile > turn off Packet Data, wait for the 3g arrows to disappear then turn it back on.

Yes, the problem is annoying, and i rely on whatsapp too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
As a tip, you can cycle data from the power menu.

I think it may be a conflict with the handset and certain APNs. I have two reasons to think this:

Like I said, my best friend has used the same ROMs on Vodafone and it doesn't happen to him.

Since changing my APN to from 'three.co.uk' to '3internet', which I think is really for wireless dongles, I have not come across the problem at all. If it weren't for the annoying adult filter I would stick with it.

I've changed back to the KE1 stock Three firmware to see if this helps at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
I have done some more research. It appears that I am now blocked from adult websites (not sure if I was before as I don't actually use them). The Pirate Bay is hit and miss which was always fine before. I read some forums and came across this:

Why do I sometimes get blocked, but at other times I can view the same site?

We’re updating the way we route internet traffic on our network. While we’re doing this work, you may occasionally get routed through a path that blocks access to certain websites. If this happens, switch off your phone and then switch it on again, or switch it into flight-safe mode and then back – this will reset the connection. This is a temporary problem and shouldn’t happen after 11 April 2011.

It sounds like they are working on the network, but it was due to be finished by now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolcat12:
From what I gathered three.co.uk blocks website 3internet is completely open..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
That is what I thought, but both have age restrictions. I cannot access adult material from either. I called Three today and they are removing the age restriction on my account.

PROGRESS UPDATE

After a bit of research I have concluded that the issue is that the Three Network (and evidently some others) just doesn't get on with custom firmwares.

I reverted to stock Three firmware (KE1) and stock KE1 kernel last night and I have not had the issue at all today, whereas before I was having the issue 5 or 6 times a day.

This makes me think that the Three Network obviously sometimes has this problem (as I described 2 posts above), but that they obviously tinkered with their firmware to overcome this.

I guess, therefore, that my query is, can I use the KE1 Modem on later firmwares?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasdfdsaq:
I think it is 3 related as I see this problem with all my phones on the 3 UK network. The same handset(s) don't have the problem on other UK networks.

To be honest "the internet stops working" isn't a particularly useful error description, and could be any of a hundred different things.

My 2 pence:

I've seen this happen on all my handsets on 3 UK pretty much daily for about 5 years straight. I believe it's the network itself. Nokia N95, E51, E71, HTC Desire, Samsung GS2 all have regular issues on 3 where the 3G data gets stuck, and either requires you to turn the data connection off and on again, or it solves itself in about ~3-5 minutes. For the GS2 it's happened with all the stock firmwares.

So far it's only happened once on my GS2 on Vodafone UK in a month and a half. It's never happened on an foreign networks, though I've only been abroad 3 days.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
I had the same issue with t-mobile where it would hang seemingly for a while and sometimes if I left it then it would fix itself but more than likely it would be flight mode on and off which resolves it.

This has happened on KE1, KE2, KE7 and not so much on KF2

Giffgaff (O2) and Vodafone don't seem to have this issue so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
Some great information here. I don't really know another way to describe the issue - sorry. If I knew more details, I could fix the problem :P

It sounds like that info that I found above is the source - to do with routing things, and particularly things that might be caught by a content filter.

For reference, I have been using stock 3 KE1 firmware for 24 hours and not had the issue one under heavy use and in several locations. With Villainrom I was getting the issue several times a day, even with minimal use so this definitely helps, unless 3's first good day coincidentally fell on the same day that I tried their firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt Streamline:
Hi,

Just to let people know I am on three, with ke7. Last night I had my first major problem with connecting to the Internet. It was exactly as other people have described on here. The only solution I could find was to restore the phone, which was a shame.

I am considering returning back to ke1 but does anyone have a copy of the stock three rom?

My update to this thread. I switched to KF2 two days ago and the improvement has been noticeable. My phone hasnt dropped connection once. It did stumble briefly when trying to load a page. I'll report back again in a couple of days.

Spoke to a friend in London with the same phone on Vodafone. His has also started to drop data connection. I wonder if it could just be a glitch in the software rather than a problem with the carrier. My APN settings are still completely standard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tocheto:
I've got the same problem with the connection. Flashed few roms but the problem keeps coming. Hope Samsung will sort this out with an update.I'm back on the 3's stock rom, wich I think is less affected.

Can someone, who still has not rooted his SGS2 and using 3's stock rom share his experience with the data connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike freegan:
As said, I'm back on unrooted stock rom, and haven't had a single issue in 2 days under heavy use. On Villain Rom and cognition, it would have happened about 10 - 15 times by now. I can say 100% that the problem does not exist on stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
Had the phone for nearly 4 weeks and I've not noticed any problems with my data connection so far (touch wood and all...) I'm on unrooted stock KE7 (sim-free phone from Expansys, that's what it came shipped with). I *always* keep my phones stock for a while after getting them, just to make sure everything's working as it should, must have one where they forgot to mess things up at the factory because I have zero issues with it :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyroCF:
I had this problem too. 3 mobile is pretty awful to be honest. I moved straight to talk mobile and haven't looked back. Vodafones signal is really good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
Well it's all relative of course - for the places I go to regularly and would *really* like to be able to use my phone, like around Canary Wharf or the City, Vodafone is utterly useless (was with them until a couple of months ago) mostly due to "congestions issues" where you can see a full signal on your phone but it's unusable because, well, too many people are trying to do the same... Voda's helpful response was and still is "don't use data during peak hours i.e 8am to 6pm and switch your phone to 2G during that time". No such issues with 3 so far, so for me it is much better than Voda :) though I'll give you that my signal at home was better with Voda because their mast is in direct view 200 yards down the road...

I am a Galaxy 2 owner... so yes i have this problem of the most annoying variety.

Put hand up if you feel like lobbing it at a samsung shop everytime it happens?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasdfdsaq:
Except that

a) It doesn't actually switch off H or H+

b) It doesn't fix the problem (for me) on the SGS2, though it did on my old N95

I'm seeing increasing evidence that the SGS2 thinks it's on (or simply displays) 3G when it is actually on HSxPA. Perhaps that's part of the problem. I'm not sure of the mechanics behind on how Android decides whether to display 3G or H. But I know for a fact turning off HSxPA via the service menu doesn't actually turn off HSxPA.

And since 3 UK has its fair share of data hanging problems with *any* handset I still don't see any evidence to suggest the SGS2 is any worse. In fact, having had a 3 UK SIM in my handset for the past few days it works far better on 3 than Vodafone, though Voda have several known faulty masts around here.
