[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tardisguy:
Begging your pardon sir, I will be more specific: Yes mp4 is a container format with includes MPEG-4 video compression method. Which when played by most androids is accelerated by an auxilary core processor, which gives you the smooth video playback with far less cpu use.

I, having never thought to actually loop up the hardware features of the powerVR compatable core, theorized the possibility that the acceleration core, might have depreciated encoding abilities in parallel to the decoding. (like maybe the chip encodes because directly encoding video from your phones camcorder, would be highly taxing on the cpu.) But then, if they hadnt thought of that, then the people who designed this core... well ill be nice.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] adamz667:
Maybe you need to ask on Droid Development forum, not on Milestone forum, because we have a locked bootloader and we can't use custom kernels or do any bigger modifications.

I just bought my GS2 today.

And I saw my apps are installed to 2gb system storage.

Is there anyway that I can convert to 11.95 gb USB storage?

By the way... Is there any risk to overclocking GS2? How do I overclock it?

sorry that I asking too much of questions ><

I think Apps2sd install them to your sdcard or external sdcard. I dont think apps should be installing to your system storage though? sure they aint system apps?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjsj94:
yup. All the apps are installed in system storage..

is there any setting to save it automatically to usb storage?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanefox:
What apps are installed to your system storage? Could you give a few examples
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
The 2gb is the data partition, not the system.

There are defiantly risks to overclocking your device. But if you want to do it start here or here.

Im pretty sure third party apps only install on your usb storage. Like TheGhost1233 said the 2gb is data partition. Maybe the data for the apps is saved on the 2gb im not sure, maybe someone could give a bit more detail into the matter

I have the stock JVP from Samfirmware.com.

Is there any way of getting a REC button in the call screen? I used Darky's 9.5 a few months ago and I had this feature and I need it.

So, on a stock firmware (ROOT-ed) is there any way of getting it back?

Hi,

I have tested all possible ROMS (Beast, Utopian, NI, CyanogemMod, EdenX,...) and I encounter the same problem: the interface goes in Error after some time. When I flash and start using it, it's woking fine, but after some time (counted in minutes, not in days), network is down and in the Network settings panel, I get the message "error". Sometimes the interface comes back up, but at some point, it stays in error and in logcat I have

Before I send my unit to repair, anyone having seen the same problem? Is this really a hardware problem, and if yes, how comes it works fine for some time before breaking?

Try the unbricking procedure (not sure it will actually help though). A fresh flash with NVFlash might get you up and running again though the bad sectors do concern me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CaesiumX:
Hell:) Friends,

I was reading some of the threads in android s\w dev ,in which it was suggested to go with first C\C++ + Android SDK for solid foundation for long term app dev.

I am also leaned towards c\c++ but not only for android dev(focus is more on the app that later can become platform independent across different mobile os's(android,windows 7,blackberry,iphone)

Now considering the architecture and related api's and resources with these mobile OS's including android NDK (Native Dev) for c\c++ (On a sidenote , how much transparent NDK is in comp to SDK , and , can we take 100% utilization from the NDK of android system and services to build apps in c\c++)

-What all the set of resources(tools) and environment

you suggest i should use that would serve the purpose for the dedicated path?

Hi all

I've been on the HTC boat for a while now, and currently have the HTC Incredible-S

My contract is due for upgrade soon, and I was wondering .... Should I go for the HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy-SII.

The reason I'm asking in this part of the forums is, that you all know the phone pretty well by now, and could give me an honest review/answer

The good points, the bad points of the phone?

Any help to decide would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance :D

[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
Hi Guys...

I have the PB & J overclock kernel. Question is...how do I overclock it?

My quadrant scores are horrible...I know it doesn't mean much..but it is only 913

How do you overclock the CHARGE!

When I go into the Voltage Control settings...I see that after 1000 it is all in red....not green...

I do have setcpu also...bit right now I have it uninstalled....

any help will be appreciated....

On an other note...when I boot into CWR...it takes such a long time...if I hold the power button, home and volume up....let go if the power button after SAMSUNG....it doesn't boot right in CWR...it takes 2 minutes to get into it...no biggie...was just wondering why...when before it went "right in" after I let go of the power button.... hmmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] douglasmcusmc:
Well on the question about cwm.. I had the same problem and installed quickboot from the market.. It lets you go straight in to it.....now about voltage settings.. Im new to this also but I played with it yesterday and if you click onto the advanced tab and click onto the red lights that will activate those other cpu speeds.. Then go back to general tab and move the slider to the speed you want to try.. Also I couldnt get the stettings to go higher than 1000 unless I moved both past 1000.... I ran a quadrant at min 1300 and max 1400 and scored 2250.. But went back to normal settings..fast and no lag..but stock is good enough for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
Thanks Doug...tried what you said and it works fine..both the voltage app and the quickboot app..although when I click on recovery in quickboot it still takes literally 3 minutes to go into recovery..but at least it goes ..thanks again
[Verizon Droid Charge] gregh530:
I'm using Altered Beast 5, 1500 quadrant score, no need to overlock..
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I don't overclock as I see no need to do it. Just wastes more battery. However to get your score up higher and have the device run smoother go back into CWR and enable Voodoo Lagfix. that alone with get your score from 900 range to over 1500
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Definitely make sure you're on ee4 basebands and an ext4 filesystem. Other than that, you can set your desired voltages for each clock speed with the sliders, then apply the changes. Use setcpu to lock it at each speed to test your undervolt, then set it back to min 100 max 1000 and test it for a few days to make sure your undervolt is nice and stable. Then go into voltage control, and save your profile as boot settings. Then you'll want to click on the red lights to activate different click speeds and set their voltage. Just try 1200 for now. Lock the min and max speeds to that new highest clock speed, and play around with different voltages until you find something stable. The phone may lock up and reboot a few times, just up the voltage and keep going.

Once you've got it stable, save your VC settings as boot settings, and go to set cpu and set min 100 max at whatever the highest clock speed you tested was, and save that as boot. Now reboot into recovery, clear dalvik cache AND voltage settings, and reboot. Go back into VC and load your profile, make sure all your desired speeds are enabled with the proper voltages, and apply settings and save as boot one more time. Now reboot once more, and you should be good to go. Your phone will still dynamically clock up and down, but have a higher max speed under full load. You cab simply move the max slider down a bit when you want to save battery, and back up when you want full speed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rheno:
Reminder: 1300mv is the phone max. Under the voltage control advanced settings, the 1300mhz and 1400mhz run at 1375mv. You should back those sliders off so that you don't go over 1300mv.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Good point. Its actually 1310mv, but for some reason Voltage Control won't let you hit that, it goes from 1300 to 1325. Many people have run over the max just fine to hit higher clock speeds, and you'd probably be fine as long as you keep an eye on temps, just like overclocking a PC. However, aside from the battery drain, I don't know if the caps can handle it, and I don't feel comfortable pushing it past the factory max. Again, you'd probably be alright, but there's definitely a possibility of damage, and I can't imagine the extra 200mhz are worth that and the battery drain.

I clocked it to 1.2ghz max, at 1275 to be completely stable, and that's what 1ghz is volted at stock (ran that down to 1200mv). That's what the very similar Infuse 4g runs at, and it does feel pretty snappy and less laggy in certain games. But most of the time I just run it at 800mhz and its plenty fast there for most things, and saves my battery. It only takes a few seconds to clock it back up if you need to once you've followed the method I wrote. 1.4ghz or higher may feel faster, but it didn't seem like it would be stable at 1300mv, and I'm not going any higher.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
check to make sure you have the lagfix enabled....it shouldnt take 3 minutes to boot into CWR and I suspect its having trouble. I would reflash it and make sure the disable-lagfix file is not in the voodoo folder....make sure you flash the new yellow one too
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra363:
Hi guys,

I have a BIG problem there :D

I'm selling my totally bricked Captivate, and I can't remember what data are on it (16 Gb internal memory).

The captivate needs to be repaired by a JTAG owner. Is there a way to ERASE totally my data, before I give it to him ? I think he will just erase ROM/RAM, but not all the interal memory !

THANKS !
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra363:
UP, please !? That's really important for me :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Just for clarification, are you getting your device back before selling it? If so, you can do a full wipe then.

If the JTAG person isn't going to give you the device back, then you will have to try and work something out with them to get a guarantee that they'll format the internal SD before they do what they're planning with it.

If you don't feel confident that the person will do the JTAG work without doing something with the data that is on the phone (other than erasing it), I would guess it might be better to take it to someone whom you feel a higher level of trust in, or who will return your phone to you before you sell it.

Just my two cents, though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra363:
Nope, I will sell it to the person who will buy it. But I can't have any trust, because I'll do it on eBay, so I won't know him. . :o

You're all right. I don't know what to do. If I keep the phone, I lost it for always.

Is that not possible to dismount the internal memory ? I could remove it then :confused: Because I can't trust anyone about that.. When I bought my captivate from second hand, every pictures/mails/etc.. from the previous user were on the phone :D was not a smart guy..

Thanks for this answer!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Unfortunately, the Internal SD can't be physically removed to do anything to it. It's built into the phone and can't be taken out like an external sd card.

Just because I'm curious, are you 100% sure it needs JTAG? Are you receiving absolutely no sign of life from the phone? I don't mean to be condescending, but I just want to ask before you put time and expense into something that could be avoided.

Perhaps before dropping it on ebay, you should look for someone here on the board to do the JTAG. I won't name names because I don't have his express permission, but it shouldn't be hard to find someone who can do this for you for a reasonable price so that you have peace of mind before selling it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
If you plan on dealing with me, I can verify a full master clear is performed AFTER a JTAG session in which I revive the board and reflash firmware. However, nobody will be able to touch the internal SD card with JTAG as all that is accessible at the level is the 512MB oneNAND chip. However, as long as the firmware flashes correctly, a full format is easy to do. PM me if you are looking for a trusted JTAG shop... :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Thank you for chiming in, Connexion2005. Zebra363, this is the person I was alluding to in my previous post.

Connexion2005, If I may ask, would it be ok for me (and other members) to refer people needing JTAG help to you (assuming that it's within the rules of the board)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra363:
I look about it on Google, I found that memory (16 gb) is on a "OneNand" chip, also including the CPU.. That's bad.

Yup I'm sure about this. I bought a JIG, and no answer from the phone.. I tried everything. It's dead since april.

Someone gave me a name on XDA. He wants 55 euro (78 USD), but :

1. I already paid my Captivate 525 USD (Price then Customs fees).

2. I'm not sure to trust him about my data.. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zebra363:
Thank you, both of you :D

But the problem is that I'm living in belgium.

So, sending my phone to a USA JTAG owner is really.. expensive :o

I found this guy in Belgium, but I am not sure to trust him.. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I can't tell you what to do about trusting the person in Belgium.

(The following is my opinion) If I were you, I'd trust the person in Belgium over the eBay buyer. You get no protection through eBay, but with the person in Belgium, you at least have an address, phone number, or some other way of finding the person if something undesirable happens. Besides that, if a person is knowledgeable enough about Android phones to do JTAG, I think it's reasonable to assume that they understand how important keeping data safe on a phone is to the end user.

Again, just my opinion.

Mobile Standyby 12%

browser 8%

Dialler 8%

Android System 6%

Phone Idle 4%

Google Service 3%

Juice Defender 2%

Wifi 2%

[Nexus S General] mindwalkr:
your Android OS is taking too much. Something is installed that's taking a toll. Try installing Watchdog and see what's taking most CPU time. Another option is to install aLogCat and check the logs for any suspicious activity.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Browser 8% with only 37% display doesn't make sense to me as well. Especially since your calls don't even show in the log (or is that "Dialler" in that log?). Android OS prolly not sleeping correctly. Try, as recommended before, Watchdog Taskmanager Lite from market. I'd choose the "aggressive" setting and also monitor active time of apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Has anyone used the multi touch app to test their touch screen? It looks like this picture. The program projects a vertical and horizontal line across the screen where your finger is. I've noticed that with two fingers, sometimes one of the finger points "disappear" from the screen when it lines up with the other finger - that is, when the horizontal lines from the two points line up.

This happens sometimes when using two fingers, and all the time when using 3 or 4 fingers and making the horizontal lines of all 4 fingers to line up. Since the program uses pure sensor data, without much manipulation from the OS, I think this means the capacitive grid is actually losing the touch location (not seeing the finger that disappears).

I was wondering if it's only on my unit or if anyone else sees that?

I've tested with my finger far apart and close together when lining up the cross hair lines. The disappearing finger location isn't caused by the fingers being too close. It's definitely disappears when the lines fall on the same "grid" line. It happens on the horizontal as well as vertical grid lines.

Thanks.

Here's the app:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I cannot replicate this behaviour either horizontally or vertically either in your suggested app, or another similar app by jpjoyjp called Multitouch Test. In either case, aligning two or more fingers from either hand on the exact same horizontal or vertical grid line doesn't cause any touch points to stop registering.

For reference, I'm on a 32GB stock Transformer with 3.1 US installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bithir:
Using Yet another MultiTouch tester I can't duplicate that behaviour.

It tracks all ten of my fingers splendidly well and I can't get them close enough to make them confused - well, I get confused though and often lift my fingers from the surface when trying to get close ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aligatro2010:
Works fine here. Btw, the limit seems to be 10 fingers. Had to ask someone to help me with experiment. xD

Added

Wait I think I see what you mean now. When you hold one finger and quickly tap with the second one, it doesn't detect that the second finger is not longer there. The key is to hold first finger in the exact same coordinates.

Hehe or not.. I didn't read your description carefully.

[HTC Sensation] jayvo:
Seriously! Why is the only phone that T-Mobile attempts to market, the myTouch? Considering what this phone is capable of, why isn't T-Mobile marketing it like they should. You see commercials and hear thousands of things about Sprint's Evo 4G or Sprint's Evo 3D or Verizon's Droid X2 or Verizon's Thunderbolt or AT&T's Inspire.....but here T-Mobile has this powerhouse of a phone and...nothing.....

Do they want to fail at everything besides the myTouch? :mad:
