[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Does anyone do undervolting here? What kind of settings have you been able to use?

I myself have managed to use the following stable profiles:

I'm using fugumod beta kernel which has different sets of frequencies, in case you're wondering.

Quick guide for anyone wanting to use pimpmycpu

(I offer no warranty if something happens to your phone, but I can assure you, nothing will happen. Worst case scenario is that your phone hangs and you have to reboot it.)

1. Download PimpMyCpu (You must have a kernel that supports undervolting, eg. fugumod)

2. Open it, press on the max MHz frequency you use (for me it is 780mhz, I don't use higher then that)

3. Lower the voltage with 25-50mv steps

- If your phone hangs immediately upon saving, you have reached the max voltage for that frequency and have to use a higher one

- If you succesfully manage to change your voltage, do a stress test or use your phone for a while for eg. gaming

4. When you go to lower MHz (eg. 390MHz) frequencies, I suggest you open SetCPU and from there set the min\max to that frequency. Close and open SetCPU once to see if it hangs. You can also use PimpMyCpu to do this, but I myself use SetCPU. This should be done for all frequencies.

Notice that different phones can get different results, so don't get upset if your phone hangs at voltage X al thought your friend can reach it :o

Why undervolt?

- It can greatly improve your battery life. Especially if you use a 'screenoff' profile in setcpu. I myself have gained about 10 hours of additional battery life with medium usage.
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
I ventured into undervolting this week.

The results are simpy amazing. I get about double the battery life, to about 60hrs.

I'm using the standard 2.4b3 kernel with these voltages, from low to high all minus :

125 125 125 150 150

I still need to test more, but haven't taken the time to do it properly. Setting min/max to the same freq is a good tip. Why are you using setcpu for this ? You can do it PMCpu as well, no ?

Your profiles are not displaying though.
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Should be displaying now.

And yeah, you can use pimpmycpu for changing frequencies (added that to the guide now) but I personally use setcpu. Mainly cause I have a ScreenOff profile in setcpu for 195 max\156 min and I don't want it to conflict.
[Galaxy 3 General] sven.cnrd:
After I undervolted my PC for years I just started with my G3. I am using the prereleased FuguMod Ultra Kernel and it's running in conservative profile with 156-1366 MHz.

- for 1366 MHz my deepest working Voltage is -95 (1430 mv).

- for 156 MHz I am currently getting lower and lower. At this time a Stress test with -400 (600 mV) is running (for about 1 minute now).

- When the lowest working Voltage for 156 MHz is found I will analyze one between highest and lowest, and scale all the others equably.

I will post my working settings as soon as I found it.
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
-400Mv? How did you even get an option to get it that low (Thought PimpMyCpu goes only upto -250Mv. Also for me the stress test in pimpmycpu causes a crash to the program immediately upon trying to use it.

I myself use SmartAss scaling, which seems like a real nice option. Though I'm not entirely sure what's it about.
[Galaxy 3 General] hakkun:
I'm using 800Mhz with 1125mv, Its stable sofar, but i cant save the Profile, it shows boot settings not saved, when i want to save as boot, It shows Save boot settings? but i cant decide between Yes or No...

can someone help me?
[Galaxy 3 General] sven.cnrd:
If you do undervolting in the latest version of SetCPU you can undervolt by up to 500 mv.
[Galaxy 3 General] sven.cnrd:
Alright, as promised here are my final settings. Its running smooth without crashes for two days now.

freq / mV relative/mV absolute
156 / -500 / 500
195 / -500 / 500
260 / -500 / 550
390 / -500 / 550
780 / -500 / 700
975 / -225 / 1275
1170 / -175 / 1350
1366 / -75 / 1450

While searching for the right Voltages I discovered that the Stresstest in SetCPU almost never made the Phone crash - even on Voltages that were really instable. The Phone mostly crashed right at the moment when I switched into the frequency. So I tested the Voltages by switching into the frequency, out again, in again, and so on. If it didn't crash for about a hundred times, I ran a 20 minute stresstest to be sure.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selenag:
I tried to update my phone by going to Cyanogenmod's Mirror network and updating to the newest version (crespo full 118 zip) but once I had "successfully" installed it, it got stuck on the google logo lock screen, so I took the battery out, and tried again with no luck.

On Fastboot mode, I tried all options, but cannot get past this logo/lock screen. I am using a Mac and am having a really hard time finding any information on step by step (got lost in a unzip/zip file explanation video) and really need help turning it back on and making sure I don't mess it up permanently!

Anyone? I would really appreciate it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selenag:
ANYbody? Please I'm starting to get desperate and I have continued trying to find a solution for the past 4 hours with no luck whatsoever! I don't understand, and would really be super grateful if someone could help me out!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selenag:
QUICK UPDATE: I'm using a Mac and my computer doesn't seem to pick up any sign of the phone when I connect it with the USB cable.

When I get to the Fastboot mode page this is what I see:

PRODUCT NAME - HERRING

HW VERSION - REV 11

BOODLOADER VERSION - I9020XXJK1

BOOTLADER BUILD - NOV 4 2010

BASEBAND VERSION - I9020XXJK8

SERIAL NUMBER - (my serial number)

LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED

.......please please please help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Ok, don't panic :)

So, you're unlocked - that's good.

Verify that fastboot sees your device when connected in the boot loader (fastboot devices should list a serial)

If it does then reflash the appropriate recovery for your device

NS:http://mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img

NS4G: http://mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.1-crespo4g.img

Download the image, put it in the same folder as fastboot (unless you've added it to your $PATH) and then run

fastboot flash recovery recovery-image-name-here.img

This is going to reflash the recovery image. At this point you should be able to reboot into recovery.

Once you are in recovery go ahead and reflash the CM7 build if you'd like or flash any other package (a full stock rom for example).

No joy for me and I'm not sure why considering i've only heard successful reports and not fails.

I've tried both the .apk's (45 & 47) from the linked thread and neither worked over wifi to a PC running Skype.

I can do audio fine but when I click video it never actually displays video and flicks back to the audio only screen on both my phone and the PC.

Can I check what versions of Android people who are successful are running? I've not updated my phone yet so am on Baseband XXKDH and Kernel XWKDD. Am currently downloading KE7 to see if this helps and am hoping it will.

Can anybody help?

UPDATE: I've solved this problem and Skype now works fine. The issue wasn't with Skype on my SGS2 it was the versio of Skype I was video calling to. An update to the latest version on the PC fixed this and it now works perfectly.

Groove IP

I may have misunderstood your question, but I use Groove IP to make WiFi calls to any U.S. phone (landline or cellphone) for FREE. It uses your Google Voice account. It costs $3.99 in the Amazon App store (was $1.99 a couple of weeks ago). The phone doesn't even need to have a cell plan, just WiFi. We use it as a home phone on a G1 that has no cell service.

[G1 Apps and Games] tommyinhi27:
I'm looking for an app that allows you to make free calls over the net..

I really really don't care whether its with VOIP or WIFI or UMA but I've always had unlimited minutes on my lines and until about a year ago I dropped all data on both my mytouch 3g slide and my tmob g1 and then again on my bb 8520, they wouldn't allow me to have a bb plan an a android plan on the same line so eventually I got the unlimited 2g service for 9.99 and then shortly after they dropped it!

The only thing that bugs me despite the fact I keep the 9.99 on my line because it works just fine for phones hardware thats only provisioned with EDGE hardware/despite the OS... but I should have added the unlimited free wifi calling for another 9.99 because if i'd had changed my minutes from unlimited to regulated?? I'd have received overages like crazy even though 99% of the time I"m on uma or wifi calling!

cheers~
