[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
I've been better monitoring my batterylife today to see if I can get by on a normal work day or if I'll need an exteded battery (ever since getting the phone its been dying very quickly, because I've been playing games on it). So far, it's been going all day and will definetly reach the 10 hour mark with web browsing and texting. However I do 1 concern, 30% of my battery life has been used up by 'Cell Standby'. Is this normal? I had an extended battery on my g1, so I never had to worry about battery life too much, and don't know how much cell standby took up on it. I'm just suprised that it takes up more than "android System" or anything else on my phone.

Htc G2 on At&t with cyanogen 7.0.3 clocked at ~800mghz

(Could it be because its on the att network?)

Update- just to give you a grasp of my battery usage for the day:

was not put in charger all day

currently at 10%

been on for 13h and 56m

--

cell stanby 31%

Phone Idle 22%

wifi 19%

Why doesn't pushing apks to system/app or data/app work? It is kinda selective on which ones work or don't work. No matter which apks I push if it is an app it should show up on the dock. But hardly any do. I have changed permissions and owner to match the others and rebooted. Still no luck. Is there a trick I am missing because the x2 isn't fully unlocked? Thanks

nevermind i searched it and found out the answer
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hi everyone!

Asus EeePad Transformer hosts a very nice audio codec by Wolfson that powers both the headphone and speaker output.

Its the ultra low power WM8903, implementing a midrange DAC (Wolfson-scale) that outputs a clean and musical signal, and my favorite Class W headphone amp, that gives a clean controlled and accurate output, and is able to drive full-size 300 Ohms headphones without distortion.

The transformer audio power stage is not as powerful as other device I tune so at maximum volume but I'm sure you'll be surprised by the capability of this amp if you compare it to any other mobile non-Voodoo device.

I might limit the maximum gain to +3dB to avoid saturation.

Voodoo sound is:

A control Android application

- Free version (semi broken on Honeycomb ATM, will fix soon): https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp

- Plus/Donate version: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate

Plus version gives the ability to get full Voodoo sound implementation without depending on a custom kernel. Root is required to load the additional driver.

Free version requires a kernel implementing Voodoo sound GPL patches as you'll find plenty on XDA.

Features of the v1 :

Planned features

- Better SRS presets for the speakers

- Maybe some volume boost for speakers if possible with reasonable quality.

- If usable and providing sufficient quality: customizable EQ & 3D effect using SRS software engine for the Headphone out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Screenshot of the first version, thanks jjsoviet :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] berbecverde:
this looks great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Digiguest:
SO its a better sound driver so to speak?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
Eyup.

Actually, it pains me to know that my Transformer now beats the crap out of my Zune HD in some areas, like soundstage and overall dynamics. Whatever voodoo hoodoo shmoodoo Supercurio's cooking on his kernel kitchen, I love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Yes its an additional driver built around the existing one in order to use the audio hardware in the optimal way.

Most manufacturer are happy enough when their device output sounds, but in many case the result can be improved, sometimes vastly.

And I must say.. its particularly interesting when the audio hardware is made by Wolfson, because you know the result can probably reach audiophile-quality levels!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mmtoman:
Will this also help the tf's speakers? I've beem ok wirh the headphones but not the speakers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
It says the free version is not compatible...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Free version requires a custom kernel implementing Voodoo patches.

The first custom Kernel supporting Voodoo sound is this one, by Clemsyn! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109630

As stated in the description today the free App is semi broken (the manual volume slider crashes on Honeycomb, but the volume key mapping works)

I'm working on an update ATM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] danielsjam:
Also say incompatible with the custom kernel installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Voodoo Control 1.0.7 finds the driver here: http://twitpic.com/5ei07e (only the volume key mapping works ATM)

If it's not detected it means your kernel actually running doesn't implement Voodoo Sound.

Note: Clemsyn published the kernel very recently!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] clemsyn:
Just tried your apk and it's pretty impressive, sound is clearer and cripspier when I play dungeon defenders with my kids and it seems louder than the Gtab now. Didn't even think my transformer will sound like this :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chatch15117:
I understand, I'll wait for one that says compatible. I've got the kernel - in fact clemsyn is hosting it on my server :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks.

You're talking about the headphone output right?

Because the speaker output is not (yet) affected. I hate to contradict people hearing improvements but I must sometime by integrity ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] carrera0to60:
Just dl'd the free version from the market to run with Clemsyns kernel and it seems to be working nicely. Thank you very much for the hard work.

Couple of requests would be:

1. Mic gain control

2. The stock music player always pauses when the screen is off. When using headphones you can hear what sounds like the headphone feed being turned off...

Hey SC,

First, awesome job on getting this to Tf (bought the donate app awhile back for my Galaxy S, and now you're making me ha ppy with Tf).

Main feature request from my side would be mic sensitivity, this time the other way around :-) was too sensitive on galaxys, needs pumping on tf. Also, if anything could be done to the internal mic quality on software level, would be awesome.

Thanks!

On a side note, I was sure i heard an improvement with speakers after installing control app, but that might be placebo effect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jwilliamf:
This is the one thing I don't get it. Why does the sound stop after the screen goes off?

i
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
That's obviously a very lame bug from ASUS :/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
You're welcome!

Okay I'll take a look.

I'm already experimenting with Speakers ATM, messing with registers.

It seems its possible to boost a little bit the speaker output, but really only "a little bit": +2dB

I doubt anybody will notice, but it's still better than nothing.

Yup, placebo ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Digiguest:
Wow....I bought this to support super there and I must admit.....it makes movies sound a LOT better....and I am using cheap iClone Earphones from ebay ( IMHO anyone that pays more than $20CDN on earphones are mentally crazy!!! )

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] keroppilee:
second thought remove the driver or kernel and see if your tablet makes sounds. If they do try reinstalling the voodoo control plus since that means your hardware is ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
first...loving the improvement, but think there's more amplification that can be tweaked from this device :-)

I use poweramp which has a gain control that allows me to crank the volume higher, and zero distortion, so wondered if supercurio can squeezea little more?

hopefully!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] InfectedMushroom:
I want you to seriously listen to some FLAC music with your cheap headphones and then listen to the same thing with some high quality audiophile headphones. Listen to something like DSOTM and tell me they sound exactly the same.

You don't need to spend a ton. You can get some very good quality phones for about 150 or even a bit less. Once you drive them through an amp, and with this app...you'll be crazy if you don't notice a huge difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
+1 the fact that there is a huge audio industry clearly debunks the previous posters statement.

sorry dude, but there's a reason your headphones are $20 :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hungry4cheese:
It might be.. Well RMA order is in. Just have to wait for Asus to reply...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Interesting bug report, I'll give a try to this scenario.

Can you describe in more details why it doesn't work?

Does the whole system acts like there is no headphone plugged in at all?

Headphone slider has no effect on jack output? (unlikely)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

I didn't study the possibility yet, but the screen, despite a relatively faithful color rendering gives dull colors, with low red and green saturation.

As the contrast ratio is pretty good, I expected it to perform better than that too.

No answer yet.

I'll study the case if there's demand.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Digiguest:
Wait....Voodoo Color??? What is that? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you describe.

In any case if you try to spot bugs try under an Asus Kernel.

Not that it is bug-free especially in the audio department unfortunately.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
I would love to see this, and would happily donate towards development. I also have a good quality colorimeter, so I can provide measurements for profiling purposes if you don't have your own colorimeter.

I'd also be interested to try if the curve varies with brightness, and if so, whether there's any way we can switch out color profiles based on the current display brightness, giving the most accurate possible color at any given brightness level.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks, I have all the necessary hardware equipment too, it will be interesting to have 2 device measured if there's some variance between device.

Though so far I have no idea if the screen hardware or its controller have gamma table (LUT) controls.

Today I assume the screen just have a low gamut. Didn't ran any measurements on it yet ;)

I'm working on sound (Anti Jitter) ATM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
I read an article a while back that agreed with your assessment -- low gamut due to low red and blue primaries:

http://www.displaymate.com/Asus_Transformer_ShootOut.htm

Other than gamut / color accuracy, reflectance, and brightness decrease with viewing angle, it's apparently a pretty good screen overall, though...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Nice! I missed DisplayMate article thanks for the pointer.

I agree with most of its conclusion, apart from the main one "Asus Transformer Conclusion: Very Good Mobile Display", because it's totally trashed by Galaxy Tab 10.1 (optimized by me) display :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
PS: I'm quite critic about DisplayMate analysis and conclusions because its author has a limited comprehension of some inner works.

Like, he insisted on telling Super AMOLED screen produce over-saturated colors by design or even by nature after analyzing Galaxy S screen.

But this oversaturation is only caused by a funky gamma curve + a saturation boost applied by the mDNIe chip (fixed with Voodoo color)

Why DisplayMate articles are interesting because kind of unique, but cannot be blinded acknowledged for this reason ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Perhaps drop the author a note to let him know. He's Ph.D educated, and while the article's obviously an advertisement for his company, it's equally clear he intends it to be accurate. He's provided his email address towards the end of the page for "any comments or questions about the article", so I'm sure he'd be receptive to hearing from you -- and perhaps re-testing or adding an update / addendum based on your findings.

And if you've managed to significantly improve the Galaxy Tab beyond its defaults, I shall cross my fingers that the same can be possible for the Transformer. ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magnesus:
The system acts like the headphone jack is plugged in, the volume slider (additional, the Voodoo Sound one) works but the maximum volume is low - like without Voodoo Sound.

The problem could be caused by jack safety setting - I turned it off and never had this problem again (but I didn't it test it thoroughly).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Thanks I'll try to replicate this issue.

Not impossible its a bug in the kernel itself, because manual volume changes not being applied makes no sense ^^

− as it's using the standard ALSA framework to send volume changes command directly to the hardware, nothing fancy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] caaznkid:
I was just wondering since this is a better audio driver for the transformer would it help fix the "cracking" sound I get in my left speaker? Or is that primarily a hardware issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Must be an hardware issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
+1. no crackling sound on mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] caaznkid:
If its a hardware issue, should I RMA it or send it in to fix?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
If anyone figures out how to get 100% smooth video with sound + color accuracy that would be awesome!

google music stops after every song

I'm wondering nobody has an issue with the google music app, stopping after every song when the screen is off? I'm using a headset of course.

This only happens when the voodoo sound driver is loaded in the kernel. If unloaded through kernel module options in the voodoo app, the music does not stop, no matter I'm using a wired or a bluetooth headset.

Using third party players works also, I know, but I have more than 30 gig music in the google cloud, so you can see my point here.

Using prime 1.4 with default kernel. I tried with other kernel too, but did not work, and since the voodoo driver is integrated in those kernels, I could not unload it manually.

Is it something you can do about, supercurio?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Digiguest:
I am guessing that you missed this post Super....please answer it.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
Hmm, got a bit of a snag here. Voodoo seems to not work anymore for some reason, checked the options and it says this:

"Built-in kernel Voodoo sound implementation cannot be replaced by app module. Please check updates with your custom Kernel vendor:

Built-in-Kernel Voodoo sound: v1

App Module: v1"

Kinda weird.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

Voodoo sound is already built in your kernel.

You don't need to load the module, it's already working, right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hi!

I experienced the same issue myself before porting Voodoo sound.

Also, based on the driver design I don't think it's possible to be related.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
BTW, good new, I updated the Free version of the app, Voodoo Control on Android Market :)

Now works properly on Honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
Hmmm....this exact issue has been one of the most annoying for me too! I've also read several other reports about Google Music stopping when the screen goes off. I'm using Prime 1.5 (I'm using the paid version of Supercurios app if that makes any difference).

The only way I could get music to play when screen is off is to use PowerAMP player, but of course that won't help someone with most of their music stored with Google's cloud service.

It must be an issue with Google Music, or a combination of Google Music and the drivers. If it was only driver based, then all music players would have this problem.

If you are finding this issue is happening when you listen to cloud-stored music, I have one suggestion for you (if you have not tried this already). Check that your wifi settings are not set to disable wifi when the screen goes off. Some folks have this setting to save battery, but of course for your scenario it would also stop the music.

Worth checking....but I know that this did not fix things for me, and I'm playing locally stored music anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zaibatsu:
My wifi disconnection policy is set to never, so the problem is not this setting in my case neither.

It must be google music, let's hope they fix it in Honeycomb 3.2

Thanks anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MarlowXim:
@supercurio could you make Mic enhancement presets? One of the biggest complaints is Mic sensitivity if you browse the threads. Maybe something similar to your current tweaks for the galaxy loud and quiet environments.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
People really use the mic on a tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MarlowXim:
Apparently for voice commands using Google search and what not I personally haven't used it but from reading the transformer forums seems to be somewhat of demand.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jjsoviet:
Yep, for some reason I kinda screwed up in a system restore. All good now, sir. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Yes, definitely, and the mic is my biggest single issue. I use it for Skype, and I'd also like to use it for things like Google Search, but unless I turn the tablet sideways so the mic faces directly at my mouth, and is within 2-3 feet, I'm too quiet for the other caller to hear me on Skype, and Google Search won't work at all. Of course, if I have the tablet turned that way, I can't see the screen, so that's not really an option.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
Never mind. figured it out. But why does the dB decrease when using headphones? When you decrease the volume it decreases the dB level too. Why is that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Lol I didn't thought about that, I guess people who designed the tablet either :D

I suppose tablets should have at least 2 microphones then ^^

Thanks for the explanation, I'll consider writing a microphone preset using DRC to optimize those usage cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Because the volume change is applied to the analog headphone amplifier level instead of shrinking the digital signal.

That's what gives you the best signal to noise ratio & dynamic range.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrew53517:
That makes sense. Thank you for the quick reply!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Hah -- I'd be all for that. One directional aimed at the person holding the tab, one omnidirectional to pick up ambient noise, then let the user set the ratio between the two. ;-)

I'll keep my eye out for the version with microphone preset, thanks so much!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magnesus:
I tested my issue with volume again and: turning off jack safety switch doesn't help. It's something else apparently.

I had all the volumes to max (digital to 100%, analog VoodooSound to 3dB), my amp was set to max volume also and the sound was not loud. I stopped all music players and put the device to sleep for one minute. After that the volume was much louder (like 5x louder).

It could be something with Asus Transformer because it's possible that the same happens with internal speakers (sometimes they are VERY quiet, sometimes quite OK).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GwynBleidd:
Just to clarify, the same mic problem is my biggest sound related issue with the TF as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kevincod:
Maybe im a retard and this is a common issue with the TF which I couldnt find using search.

But when i dock it in the keyboard, I have no sound at all, not even sure if this is voodoo related.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sashusmom:

After OTA 84411

Ok, after updated to OTA 84411 and regaining root, Voodoo Sound isn't supported on the new kernel.

And while the new OTA did improve the sound, I was wondering if there were plans to update this? The sound was certainly much better than the stock headphone sound. Maybe that would still be the case?
