[Galaxy S I9000 General] ash901:
As the name implies, I got a fully working Tegra games which once before have DXT error(backbreaker), missing graphics(riptide) on stock froyo now fully playable with no missing graphics whatsoever on my I9003XXKB3 FW! Completely smooth. :) :) :)

Backbreaker THD: No DXT error. Players are not just black missing graphics anymore, they are fully textured.

Riptide THD: Same here, no missing textures. Truly perfect.

Some of you might think why didn't I just use Gingerbread FW to sort out this issues?

Well, because on Gingerbread FW I can't use any PS1 emu. (fpse & psx4droid)

So to me this is a good combination and a win-win situation.

Before that, sorry for my poor English. I'm a Sarawakian, but that's not an excuse.

These are the workaround working Games;

Riptide THD & Backbreaker THD (with luck you might be able to play all those unplayable games if you use this guide) :D

Guide;

1: Download and install Chainfire3D Pro v2.8 (if you have any old ver. of Chainfire3D then you must uninstall CF3D driver on Chainfire3D setting, reboot, uninstall the old ver. of Chainfire3D and Install V2.8 )

2: Check BETA EGL driver and install CF3D driver, reboot.

3: Install NVIDIA plugin, set NVIDIA plugin as default. (don't try change anything)

4: If you already installed Riptide and Backbreker, clear data and uninstall.

5: Install those 2 games again and you should not have any probs with those games.

Enjoy :)

PS: If the old problems resurfaces again you'll have to do all of those steps again. Do not fix permission as mine give both of my games their old symptoms. (DXT error & missing graphics) As soon as you have a working config, backup it.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubr0w:
Hi all

You're my last chance as i've been very dumb this morning.

I'm so used to flashing installing new roms on my desire that this morning (without having had my coffee) i did something that seems irreversable.

I flashed a US wifi Tiamat image on my Euro MZ601 Wifi only....WITHOUT doing a nadroid backup..doh....

Ok so i have access to my ClockworkMod recovery 4.0.0.4 but the ROM that suits my xoom is not on the internal memory (dooooh) but on my SD card. when i do choose update from sd card and select external, my xoom says that i have no files found (there are in there).

I'd love to be able to mount the xoom on my PC so that i could copy it on the internal but it doesn't seem possible.

So i'm stuck here. if there is anything i can do appart from chicking it in the bin, i would be so grateful.

I'm so angry with myself i am bashing my head against the wall every now and then.

HELP please, if you can
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
CWM 4.0.0.4 does not recognize the external SD card. You need to download solarnz CWM 3.2.2.0 image (not the zip) to your computer. It's pinned to the top of the Development section. Then use ADB to push the new recovery image to your Xoom, much like you did when you first rooted. This will give you access to your sd card again. Then you can sort out the rom/kernel thing. Good luck. It'll work out OK for you in the end.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubr0w:
Thanks m8, on my to download this recovery img that could save my life, or rather my xoom's life. Next post, I hope that there will be smileys galore.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubr0w:
Hmmm, ok this is doom day.

Ok, this is what's going on

I click in the link to download the img recovery-solarnz-xxxxxx-xxxx. Img, i get the recovery-tiamat-r4c-100611-1150. Img, which was the one I downloaded when i rooted the xoom in the first place, i flash it, it says on, I come back in recovery and I find the 4.0.0.4 cwm that still doesn't want to read my external storage...

Is it flashing the recovery correctly? Or is it just not my day?

Thx

[General Questions and Answers] DR-EVIL23:
I understand that Android is not like Windows, but with all the app installing/uninstalling (and file transfers) we do on our devices - is there any need to perform a 'defrag' like function on the storage media?

I know on my Windows PCs in the past, a defrag sped up a lot of functions on the machine once completed.

is there such tool for the android OS?

EDIT: what the equivalent "defrag-like" operation i can perform on Android OS to improve internal drive's performance?
[General Questions and Answers] FearedSkills:
Android is Linux, it doesn't operate like windows and you won't ever need a defrag or anything like that.
[General Questions and Answers] Bisko69:
FearedSkills say true .... but you can try Optimize ToolBox , for me - good app
[General Questions and Answers] daviderickson:
Flash is your physical layer, you don't want to defrag it anyway as it burns write cycles.
[General Questions and Answers] metaldood:
Flash (SSD) 's life is reduced if you 'move' stuff around by increasing it's read and write cycles unnecessarily.
[General Questions and Answers] Striatum_bdr:
Totally agree with above especially if you use a ROM (or kernel) enabling ext4 filesystem, far more responsive and optimized than ext3.

To be precise, ext3 fs fragment, but fragmentation level is always low and is never a concern for efficiency of the system. Ext4 fragments less than ext3.
[General Questions and Answers] Bel_P:
The reason that defragmenting in windows is good practice is primarily because the physical device (hard drive) will perform better when it is reading data in consecutive blocks.

SSDs and Flash chips do not organize their data the same way, and can actually have their service life reduced by moving data around into bigger chunks.

As many of us know, our chipset is already on Turbo to 800mhz. The recommended is 600. Most of us are on the belief that it can still be overclocked... is it possible? Anyone familiar with hardware here?

(It may be a waste of time for developers include it and test a phone being over-overclocked... not to mention probable damage too.)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] digkong:
Dude if u would have done a simple search on ace xda u would have found many threads related to the topic which u trying to get answer..

Anyways coming to ur points ...

Ya its possible...1GHz is the max...and no developer right now its working on overclocking..and that 1 GHz will m make ur battery drain faster.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
No need to be so aggressive sir that would just sound trollish.

"simple search" arrives at a thread of your question about ace overclock, rumor of "1.3 Ghz" but can you include your source?

The chipset we're using, the Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset, is a 600mhz processor which samsung overclocked to 800.. If it's overclocked already at 800 I'm asking if it would be safe to do it further? Since some of us are under the impression that the processor is packaged for 800mhz as original.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailo:
it isn't overclocked, it's turbo boosted.

i know that these things are 2 different things.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Weird though it runs "turbo" most of the time in use..

Do you know the difference? Google brings no results.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tr.supradeep:
Qualcomm msm7227 turbo

I actually met a person working in Qualcomm and i had asked him that if the processor on our ace is overclocked or not. He told no. It seems that qualcomm uses a better processor on the chipset whose regualr clock frequency is 800 MHz. I have used a ZTE blade and tried to overclock it and it hangs at 729 MHz and it has msm7227 chipset. Our ace naturally is at 800 MHz so thus AFAIK it can be overclocked :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
That is really helpful. X10 Mini Pro uses msm 7227 chipset too and the best people can push is 768 before it freezes... Okay I feel better now, this phone can get 1 Ghz in the future. Awaiting the maturing of the development of this phone!

Yes, I noticed that too. I forgot to charge my phone last night and to my surprise I found it with 83% next day. I looked up time since plugged in and found negative unreadable number in seconds instead of normal time. Up time was negative too and counting backwards. That was weird. I rebooted the phone and up time reset to zero. I did not charge the phone, used it for chatting and my tracks GPS application and it still works today with 35% left. However am on EC01.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
I have a core i5 laptop that uses TVersity software to stream AVCHD files to various devices around my house. To do this, the TVersity software will transcode the files "on the fly" to a format the receiving device recognizes for smooth and flawless playback.

However, on the Transformer, the TVersity does not even attempt to transcode the files. Does anyone else use TVersity for this purpose or can recommend another software to use to transcode these AVCHD files from my laptop "on the fly" to the Transformer?

I missed tagging this as a question when I originally submitted this post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobH79:
I have also used Tversity in the past, but since moving to Transformer I have found the wonderful world of PLEX, It gives you a very XBMC, BOXEE, interface with movie scraping built into it, it can transcoe over local wifi, remote wifi, and even 3g!. The server is free for mac OS, Windows, even Linux, and the app is $5 on the market, well worth the price, Plex will even refund your $5 if you end up not liking the app, so really nothing to loose. I only suggest, get the server working first then by the app. Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haupman:
Great suggestion. This worked perfectly and was well worth the $5. Thanks!

I was looking for a media server to transcode 1080p mkv's though, but Plex does that too. :D

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mean Bro Greene:
I did it literally just to see if anything had changed since the last time I did it(Which was a genuine mistake when I first got the phone). Nothing has ever happened any time I have dialed *228. If it were to invalidate/fry/immolate/otherwise destroy my SIM, I have extras, as well as two back up phones. I was trying to prove my point that dialing *228 from a 4G LTE device will no longer harm your SIM. Calm down with your insults, brother.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mean Bro Greene:
Yes and yes. I'm running Das Bamf 2.1. I really can't stress enough, though, that as far as I can tell, dialing *228 doesn't do ANYTHING either positive or negative other than give the message I posted earlier. I jumped into the testing menu and snooped around and it changes nothing. So unless there's some roaming setting on the network side that I can't see, there's nothing different.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerren:
Hey guys I installed cm7 nightly on my phone (#114) but it turns out that my gps doesn't work :( I then flashed Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 and it's still not working. What I'm wondering is: I have nandroid backups of android 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 of wildpuzzle and cyanogen cm6. Would it be safe to do a nandroid restore to one of these backups and do you think that might fix the problem I'm having with my GPS?

I also read

from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140519.

I would like to do this if the first option doesn't work but I'm not sure where to get the stock froyo rom. I have RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_signed (is this a stock froyo rom?) however my kernel is 2.6.35.13-nFinity so would it be safe to downgrade to an earlier kernel?

I haven't reflashed the radio update so should I do that before I try any of the above methods?

Thanks in advance :)

Ps. I did read as much as possible before posting this question but I can't really find an absolute answer :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
First, make sure GPS is indeed not working. Cyanogenmod will only show you the GPS icon when you actually use an app which uses GPS, eg: Any navigation app. Simply enabling GPS does not show the GPS icon on the statusbar.

Second, after you have confirmed that, (I am assuming you used Clockworkmod 2.x to flash the Radio), yes, you can downgrade to your Nandroid backups. Its safe, and, will not cause any issues. You can downgrade to your 2.2.1 Stock, make sure GPS works there, and, follow that post to get CM7 GPS working.

Great thanks for the help man!!
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
Dear all

I've only had my SGSII a week or so but have been very unimpressed with the battery life I've been achieving - not even a full working day.

I've been trying to work out what's going on, but this morning things really seemed to come to a head. I'd charge overnight but within an hour and a half of disconnecting the phone almost half the charge had gone & the back of it felt very warm to touch.

Looking at the battery stats and using the Watchdog program it looks like the Samsung Email app is to blame. I also saw the phone was marked as 'awake' much of the time, presumably due to a partial wakelock from the Mail app (battery history in Gingerbread doesn't seem to actually have partial wakelock as a category but this certainly looks like it). I've got three accounts setup in it - 2x Microsoft Exchange and 1x IMAP. Refresh times were initially push (MSEx 1)/manual (MSEx 2)/15 min (IMAP). I've tried changing them all to 15 min or to manual but it doesn't seem to improve matters. In case it is of relevance, the MSEx ones are imposing device & storage encryption as part of their policies (I've no choice in this).

Relevant screenshots below - would be grateful for any thoughts as to how and improve matters!
[Galaxy S II General] Remoteconcern:
What firmware are you on? I believe the later ones fix the email app slightly, although I haven't seen any drain as bad as yours.

Another option, if you don't mind flashing a custom ROM, would be to install VillainROM 1.4, and use the Villain Tweaks app to get the vanilla Android e-mail app. It's what I've done, and it seems to work well!
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
Thanks for the reply. I'm just on the stock ROM that came with the phone (XWKE7) - both update on the phone and Kies don't report any further update being available for me (UK SIM-free unbranded).

I tried rooting this morning and used TB to freeze some of the Samsung rubbish (hubs, etc.) - however none of this made any difference to battery usage.

I wasn't sure how the stock email app handled MS Exchange accounts that required encryption? The Samsung Mail app isn't that bad, I particularly liked the split pane view - it seems really badly coded though if it's causing this!

Short of a total ROM replacement any other thoughts from anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] spline1:
delete the data from the app

settings/applikations/all/email/ delete or wipe user data (all data).

make a new Mailaccount.
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
Thanks - had been looking for this but couldn't find anything under 'Mail' - found it under 'Email' as you mention :) As soon as I deleted the data it recognised the device encryption policy had been removed and this triggered a decryption of system and external storage. I'll monitor battery usage for a few hours then reinstate the IMAP account and monitor things again before finally restoring the ActiveSync account.
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
OK definitely some progress so far - only IMAP account added just after charging stopped and battery usage has dramatically improved...

Now going to try adding an MS Exchange account!
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
OK, so far so good - MS Exchange account added back in and left on overnight...

I wonder if the mistake was when first setting up the account picking the special Samsung 'premium account' option??
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
OK - I'm now suspicious that it is manual sync setting that is causing the issue - re-added a second Exchange account and put it all to manual - phone almost totally drained in a couple of hours, with the sharp drop occuring just after I added that:

Have tried removing just that account and hope that will do the trick. If so, will then try adding it again but setting a sync time rather than leaving it on manual.
[Galaxy S II General] drspikes:
I've switched to touchdown for my corporate ms exchange account (push) instead of the samsung app.

Battery life gone from 7 hours to about 16 hours. I can't believe the native app is so thirsty. (KE7 stock)
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
What's interesting was that I was getting around 16+ hours too with the stock app having an MS Exchange account (on push peak times and 15 min other times) an IMAP on 15 min and a few Gmail accounts. It seemed to be adding the 2nd Exchange account on manual sync that sucked the battery life again. Am going to try readding it but paradoxically leaving it on a more frequent sync setting to see how that does.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
If i remember correctly, it was observed that the mail app (non gmail) and wifi interact to cause a lovely wakelock, and that it happens with stock and samsung.

Maybe try something like k-9 mail?
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
Intersting - it certainly seems to behave like a wakelock. As I say though with one account on push and one in 15 min it was working fine - it was only when I tried to add a second exchange account on manual that I started to run into problems. Pretty poor coding on Samsung's part though regardless! Does anyone know the best way to raise these sort of issues with them?
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Get in touch with Seven as well they produce the email app. I have mine on push with exchange and no bad battery drains, also I run manual when in the office once again no heavy drainage. I am on VR though.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
In USA, they just introduced this

http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA?sk=app_158125230916392

but obviously I doubt we can use this for SGS2 that is not out in the US yet.

You can however say that you are traveling, in the States right now :)
[Galaxy S II General] ediflyer:
Thanks for the suggestions, folks - will try them. The @SamsungUK twitter account never seems to reply to any Tweets, but will see if they have a comparable FB page. Have found Seven's website so will get in touch with them too.
