I would like to know this too! Will this work on Cherry Blur 1.2?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
I will only work on AT&T 4.5.91.

It will most likely cause bootloop on CherryBlur.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hahmoode:
oh :'( tears. i really like this theme and hopfully when it does work with cherryblur i will be all over it. thanks for the quick response.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kigam:
what's the CPU meter you got running in your notification screen?

edit: nm I think I found it: CPU Usage Monitor

props to the theme, I love it

kind of confusing having the 3G net icon have the 3 in the middle though - when I first installed this it scared me into thinking my battery was about to die
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jambo_1991:
Basically, just got the X8 today (refurbished) from The o2 Shop.

Technically imo it should be in the box, but they argued that it's a refurbished phone so what's in the box is all you get.......still disagree with that, but they are ignorant *****.

Anyway, was just wondering where the best place to get one would be?

Would I be able to pick up a Sony Ericsson USB from say The o2 Shop?

Cheers in advance.

connecting USB is ok.. but not charging

any idea?

i tried with my previous Nokia cable
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puppet13th:
Any micro usb cable is okay

The problem is the power source.

SEMC standard charger have 850ma current.

Best practice : don't any charger over 850ma current.

U can charge by pluging into usb port on a pc or laptop.it's have 500ma current.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG JD:
the best place is ebay u save 11 pound on the real charger and cable from SE as the cable from SE is 7.95 and on ebay you'll get the charger for free for that money here the link for it i use the for 2nd hand xperia x8 and it fine

I am making a move to las vegas i was wondering if any one was out there that could let me in on how the cell coverage is and if the 4g is up and running well out there? any info besides the basic verizon map would be appreciated.

Thank you !
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
i was in Vegas in May and the 4G service was horrendous. There was coverage everywhere and I always had 2 bars at least, but the data connection wouldnt pass any data. I spent the whole weekened on 3G because of the horrendous spotty 4G service.

We met up with a buddy who lives in Vegas who had recently got a TB. He could not stand the phone. He kept talking about crying to Verizon so he could get a Iphone4... I was like, "BUT BUT 4G!!!" and then I realized the 4G barely works for him.

I dunno, maybe its better now.
[Thunderbolt General] ezekiel2214:
4G is developed and fast in Las Vegas. 10 - 17Mbps down and 7 - 10Mbps up is my experience. Keep in mind that this is in North Las Vegas.

I was in Downtown Vegas for a week and the 4G was great, I used it to tether while in the room.
[Thunderbolt General] dytanaka:
I live in Las Vegas and Verizon has the best coverage. I have had T-mobile, Att and Sprint. 4G is ok. Best around the freeways. I live in the (South of the 215) Southwest and the coverage for 4g is spotty but better than anything else I have had. Most major areas have good 4g Coverage.

how is this done?

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Unksi:
You can just install stock ROM or another ROM over it.
[General Questions and Answers] ands2:
No wipe nor factory reset needed before flashing the new one?
[General Questions and Answers] Unksi:
That basically depends on the ROM. It is not always needed, but if you encounter any problems, such as the device is not booting up to the new ROM or you are encountering a lot of Force Closes, then you will need to do a full wipe.

The ROM should usually say it in the installation instructions if you need a wipe, however doing the wipe and starting from a clean table is the safest option.

Thanks for the short explanation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
After trying to decide which I/O scheduler to use, I decided to try running the Androbench storage performance benchmark tool for the I/O schedulers,

cfq, deadline, noop,vr and sio to find out.

All tests run on deodexed JVQ on Galaxian 1.8@1Ghz.

The file system used was /data (ext4)

I used standard buffer sizes (256Kb for sequential I/O) and (4kb for random I/O) To speed the tests up, I used a read file size of 16Mb and a write file size of 1Mb

I did test using the recommended sizes of 32MB and 2MB) but the rates were the same so I kept the smaller sizes to speed up the tests

I know its not very scientific but provides a rough estimate of the relative performance.

MBRS =MB/s sequential reads

MBWS =MB/s sequential writes

RRIOPS =random reads IO's/sec

RWIOPS=random writes IO's/sec

Test #1

MBRS	MBWS RRIOPS	RW IOPS

cfq	19.40	4.8	1014	35

deadline	19.39	6.1	1119	42

noop	19.47	9.0	1098	43

vr	17.76	7.7	1105	45

sio	18.30	6.9	1152	49

Test #2

MBRS	MBWS RRIOPS RWIOPS

cfq	19.18	3.3	1057	33

deadline	26.27	5.5	1151	43

noop	19.08	8.6	1059	41

vr	19.55	6.4	1120	50

sio	19.16	6.3	1122	45

Test #3

MBRS	MBWS RRIOPS RWIOPS

cfq	19.25 3.8 1120 34

deadline	18.97 7.8 1146 43

noop	19.59 9.3 1161 45

vr	19.14 6.6 1227 53

sio	19.46 7.5 1172 50

my conclusion - use NOOP or SIO(if stable)

As you can see, sequential reads (MB/s) and sequential IOPS are very high so I don't think we need to worry about these too much, as you know (from Quadrant) it's writes that are VERY slow

Unsurprisingly, we can see that the slowest scheduler is the default CFQ.

The noop scheduler produced the fastest sequential write rate on all runs.

the VR and SIO schedulers produce the greatest number of IOPS for random writes.

Think I will use the noop scheduler as it uses little CPU and is fairly well established and its not far off the random write IOPS rate.

Is someone can be arsed, I think we should test with all background processes off, using a 1Ghz speed, and run say 10 sets of tests and order the results using a spreadsheet.

Would be good to see these results run against a RFS file system too!!!

Would also be good to test I/O against say a /cache file system with journalling switched off to unserstand the actual improvement.

I am surprised at the read speed, the IO rate is equivalent to 5 or 6 15K SA/FC physical disks - Whahoo!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Al3cks:
Hi,

Last evening I updated my kernel to Galaxian 2.0 and after reading your test results I set my I/O scheduler to noop and this morning... I found my phone hot, checked the battery status and had the nasty surprise of finding that Android OS has taken 41% of my battery and the phone didn't sleep almost all night. Did you have this problem? I'm trying to figure out whether the Android OS bug returned because of the kernel update or the I/O scheduler change.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gsw5700:
Hmm, used system panel to check android and overhead for me was very low, I use juice defender and lose about 2 or 3% battery overnight, phone is cool, try wiping cache, dalvik and fix permissions and reboot once or twice, if the same change to deadline and observe difference

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
I am getting quite different values

[Galaxy S I9000 General] brfsa:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZioGTS:
My benchmark results!

Hey, I read countless threads on I/O schedulers, but most of them were based on opinions or feelings... except this one! I want to contribute, so I decided to run my set of benchmarks too.

I used the latest AndroBench 2.0 from the market, default/recommended settings. Each I/O scheduler was tested three times, and the numbers below are the averages of the results.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

Firmware: stock 2.3.3 w/root (RSJV3, latest official firmware in Italy)

Kernel: Galaxian 2.4

File system: RFS

No overclock

Cpu governor set to "performance" to make sure frequency doesn't fluctuate during test runs.

I created a couple of simple comparison indexes:

Read Index = SeqRead * RndReadMB * RndReadIOPS

Write Index = SeqWrite * RndWriteMB * RndWriteIOPS * 100

Here are the averages. You can download the spreadsheet with all the results, it's attached to my post.

--------------noop-----vr-------sio------cfq------deadline

Read Index....57750....57305....54328....58849....60013

Write Index...31339....24051....27602....23233....18628

My conclusion: I agree with gsw5700, NOOP is definetely the most interesting I/O scheduler for our SGS even on RFS file system. Satisfactory read speed and best-of-the-class write speed!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .:Crack:.:
Here are my results (average of 3 runs)

seq.read seq.write r-read r-write

VR: 12.5 - 4.22 - 5.82 - 0.21

SIO: 12.61 - 3.86 - 6,07 - 0.207

BFQ: 12.8 - 3.93 - 6,01 - 0,18

Noop:12.6 - 4,05 - 6,03 - 0,208

(seq= sequential; r-= random; all values in MB/s)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Orochi77:
Interesting test, however I am troubled with my results. I tried running this Androbench software and it seems that I have a lot of fluctuations.

For example during one test I get 4.92mb/s write speed @ noop and then during second test I get 1.52mb/s write speed @ noop test and last one was 2.02mb/s. I mean write speed is write speed you can have minor fluctuations say 4.92mb/s on the first run and 4.90 on the second run. This is of course while the device was not used.

If I run a benchmark software on my pc, I will get almost all the time identical results.

So either there is something wrong with teh software or something else is at play.

Also this guy from over here: http://www.team-continuum.net/home/index.php?topic=290.0 claims that operating on different CPU governors also has impact on benchmark results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Theoretically, SIO is the best.

Benchmark can't represent real life situations as I/O transactions are mostly spurious rather than 1 big chunk of data to and fro (on which this is what benchmarks are doing).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobdoblo:

You can't multi-boot but you can do a Nandroid of your favorite ROM's and simply restore whichever backup you prefer for that day. This assumes that you don't use custom hboots however as that would not work but sticking to say the stock or CM7 hboot and only installing ROM's designed for that hboot will work fine.

Because I want cm 7.1 and oxygen 2.1.6 installed in one time.

I've recently rooted and installed the VillainROM 2.0 on my SGS2.

Since then, my device isn't discoverable by any PC as a USB mass storage device. It wont' be recognized by Kies as well.

What can I do?

Please help

Edit: After rebooting it 3 times, I've managed to get it working properly.

But for some reason, it's not like before.

When I plug in the USB, in the notifications tray, a "USB mass storage" notification appears. It tells me that I need to turn it on and then off when I want to(by safely disconnecting it from my PC).

Is that normal?

Battery

After much experimenting and monitoring of battery use I find that the biggest drain is the screen display, so go to settings-->display-->brightness and lower the screen brightness as low as you comfortably can. Also when you you are not using the phone make sure the screen is off, I have trained myself to automatically hit the power button every time I put down the phone. If you listen to music through your phone make sure the settings on your music players allow the phone to play when the screen is off and turn the screen off while it plays.

GPS also drains the battery, so I keep it turned off when I don't use the Nav. When I use the Nav I know the battery will drain at a rapid pace, nothing you can do there, even if I have the phone plugged in to car power while using Nav it still drains the battery! Drains slower than unplugged navigating but still drains.

If your watching videos then your S.O.L. there's really nothing you can do that will increase battery life enough to make a difference during video playback.

I get 10-12 hours with regular use and stock rom. Worst was 8 hours best was 24.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] reissy:
How does it drain your battery when its plugged into the car? I have never seen that on any cell phone. That my friend is messed up if true.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It seems that Samsung ****ed up and included phone CPU/screen/etc usage when measuring battery charge current.

This means that the 600 mA stock battery charge current limit isn't just going to the battery, it's split between battery/screen/CPU. If screen/CPU/etc go above 600 mA (Navigation at full brightness seems to be the most common way), battery starts draining.

It also means that unless there's something I'm missing (which I could be since the MAX8998 datasheet is super-ultra-secret), our phone isn't going to be able to do proper charge termination - if the screen is on/CPU is running, it will cause a falsely high battery charge current reading, which will cause charging to fail to terminate.
