[Kindle Fire General] shadowclock:
Looked around for the last 15 minutes and couldn't find anything on it.

This would be the perfect car interface device that I have been looking for. That being said:

It doesn't support ad-hoc wifi connections so USB tethering will already be used for internet purposes inside the car.

I know there is an app for bluetooth GPS sharing but never heard of anything for USB. Since it does not appear to have bluetooth; how can we share the GPS from our phone to this device?

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] adfad666:
I don't think there is such an app, and I think this usage scenario is outside what Amazon intends for this device. You'll probably be able to do it via WiFi when CyanogenMod gets released though.

EDIT: This app shows how difficult it is to do what you said via a Windows laptop, so your scenario us highly unlikely to ever be supported. You'd have to wait for a CyanogenMod port for the Kindle Fire and use TetherGPS.
[Kindle Fire General] sjmoreno:
No Bluetooth

I've read several articles that the Kindle Fire does not have bluetooth on board. But that is what they said about the Nook Color before somebody found it on board but deactivated and then proceeded to activate it.
[Kindle Fire General] HabeHandy:
With GPSD , it should be possible
[Kindle Fire General] bigamp:
Tether GPS I have used with my non bluetooth tablets
[Kindle Fire General] lexxa:
this can be done but you really need to know what you are doing.

BT is nothing more than a wireless RS-232. (usb for that matter is the same)

if you loop your phone's gps to a bt vtty and then connect the vtty to another device it could work. nontheless you also should need to work on the clint's bt profiles to get what you want.

i have done this some time ago with an windows phone but it was really nasty and painful hack.
[Kindle Fire General] lionclaw:
I've e-mailed the Amazon Market folks in an attempt to get in touch with the Kindle Fire developers. TetherGPS is already on the Amazon market, and my goal is to make sure that it works with the Kindle Fire out of the gate.

If anyone knows the best way to get in touch with them, please let me know.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styrica:
I'm having a very strange issue with my SGS. I have ONE's 8.3 ROM and the device is functional. But, when i shut the phone down i can't turn it on. Every time I shut it down and then try to turn it on by pressing the power button, de loading circle image show up but a few seconds later the screen turns black, and cycle repeats forever.

The only way I am able to turn the phone on is to connect the usb data cable to the phone and an pc usb port where the phone has been connected before (any other port won't do), afterwards the battery starts to charge (even if full) and I can turn the freaking phone on.

Things i've tried:

Changed ROMs (CM7, MIUI, One), changed Kernels, wiped battery stats

Please help me as this is a very strange problem.

PS: is my phone is in that infinite cycle, i can enter in download mode but not in recovery
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrxffs:
Hello! I'm not sure am I allowed to post this kind of question in this forum, but I couldn't find any better place.

I would like to modify (edit) my SGS II's ROM/kernel. I've already downloaded source from opensource.samsung.com (GT-I9100_OpenSource_Update2, 2.3.5).

I'm not new to programming but I just don't know how to "edit" that ROM/kernel. I have Visual Studio (I know the basics of C/C++, and I'm good at C#). Kernel is the lowest-level "program" so I guess it's written either in C or C++.

So what I'm wondering is how do I open the kernel or ROM in Visual Studio and am I able to compile it later with VS? (I just saw compiling tutorials and everyone is compiling on Linux (I'll install it if necessary)).

You don't have to write me step-by-step guide, but just help me a bit.

Sorry for my bad English by the way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvioster:
Link to download GT-I9100_OpenSource_Update2 from linux shell

Guys, just finished the OTA update for the newest Gingerbread (2.3.4), and now, when I press the home button it automatically returns to Sense. I want to run GoLauncher EX instead. How do I set GoLauncher EX as the launcher of choice? I used to be able to set that, but now I don't have the option.

Any advice?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
You have to set go launcher as default. make sure go launcher is installed then go into menu-settings-applications and find HTC sense the click on clear defaults. Now go back and press the home key, it will ask which one to use, pick go and make sure you check the box to make it default..

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I have been playing around with my phone , undervolting it to see which are the best settings. Basically undervolting is like limiting the amount of power your device uses

My battery has greatly improved undervolting my phone!

Here are the optimum settings to use

What you need:

- Sense ROM (which has Virtuous OC Daemon installed)

- Unity Kernel V9

- OC/UV Beater 1.7 App

Install the OC/UV app.

Go to the voltage tab and you can configure from there! Don't forget to save your settings!

I have put my phone to some tests. I changed some UV settings and now I'm getting good battery life!

Set your UV settings -50 across all CPU Speeds! (Permanent profile)

I have been testing this settings for over 7 hours on my phone, perfectly stable! :)

Or you can use -25 if you wish...

I tried -75 and within 2 minutes my device messed up! My music player kept randomly pausing/unpausing, and then my phone froze completely!

I had to pull out the battery!! (I risked a fried eMMC chip!)

I set my profile for testing a 'temp' one , therefore it wouldn't survive a reboot. So my phone was back to -50 after I put the battery back in. All good now :)

Quick Summary:

-25 is safe

-50 is even better, been testing fine all day for me

-75 or lower, STAY AWAY FROM THEY WILL MAKE YOUR DEVICE UNSTABLE AND RISK A BRICKED PHONE!

Sorry for this guide being all messed up and long. I will edit it soon to make it more organized

~Disclaimer~

I have already warned in the thread, about the dangers of UV , so I tale NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR PHONE IS BRICKED FROZEN ETC.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

IF IN DOUBT DON'T USE THESE SETTINGS.

Please feel free to share your opinions in the thread, whether your battery Life is any better or not :)

Hit the thanks button if this has been any use for you :)

Cheers!
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
great advice! what are the dangers involved with undervolting? apart from risking having to perform a battery pull if it freezes.

Are there any long term risks or damage that can be caused by undervolting?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Not that i could think of!

If anything, UV preserves your phone for longer!

It will allow the phone to require less power to run hence saving stress on the CPU (?)
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Sorry for offtopic/possible hijack, but the greatest battery saver for desire s is imho lowering screen brightness to 25% instead of auto bright mode (whenever possible, i.e. indoor). Combining Your method with this may result in really huge savings. Gotta give it a go.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
would this undervolting work with my current rom "RCMix3d VoidU v1.1a (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0)" with htc stock kernel?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I don't use Auto brightness anyway ;)

Mine is on 46% normal, and.for.nightime browsing in bed, 29%

Give it a go and tell me how it goes on the ROM your on!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sorry, nope, UV won't work with the stock kernel :/

It only is compatible with Unity V9 (not the older versions)

The only bug unity has is the fron camera is upside-down :(

But a combination of Unity Kernel and controlling the CPU speed and UV with the app listed in my OP, wow! Battery life is fantastic!

This app is much more effective than other CPU apps aswell. It is well known.

My battery dropped from 100% to 89% on for 8 hours

(15 mins 3G browsing, 20 minutes music listening, 15 minutes messing around with the phone, and the rest 7 hours + on standby!

No joke!
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Well gonna give it a try at -25 for a few days to see how it goes

EDIT btw how can i tell this is working ?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Good :)

Since we are on the same ROM + kernel too, I can tell you -50 is 100% safe for us!

Been using my phone quite heavily since I got home, flashing mods via recovery, rebooting, etc ..

And phone hasn't frozen or become unstable yet :)

Good stuff :)

Also guys please share whether this helps improve your battery life!

EDIT: it will tell you on the OC app. On the voltage tab, it will tell you your current voltage. Remeber to hit save though, after you changed your settings!
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Yeah I did that ,and can see it's set to 25 below default. just wondered if it could be monitored.

Mine gets quite heavy use with emails and twitter and facebook and whats app ,so will be interesting

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Mines only ever at about 20% unless I'm outside and even then its only about 40% and not used much. battery would just disappear otherwise lol
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
My screen brightness is as near as or below <20% in normal circumstances and auto when outdoors - in direct sunlight.

I use UV of -25 across all the frequency settings. I did try -50 once and it hung my device such that it would not respond to either the 3 button reset or any adb commands and I was forced to resort to a battery pull, so for now I'm sticking with -25 unless I read significant remarks to the contrary.

My default OC settings are:

wake gov = virtuous
min = 122000
max = 921600

sleep gov = virtuous
min = 122000
max = 245000

My low battery settings are:

wake gov = virtuous
min = 122000
max = 768000

sleep gov = virtuous
min = 122000
max = 245000

EDIT: Incorrectly altered these figure initially correct now!

Have certainly seen an extended battery life on this ROM and with these settings, especially when the phone is asleep..

CPU Spy is a great free application for analyzing which state/speed your CPU has been in over time - so very useful.

Plus must credit both the author of the OC daemon (rmk40) and the author of the free [APP] OC/UV Beater2 v1.7 - GUI to change Virtuous_OC, Andrev_OC & Viper_VDD levels application (cjoliver) which is used to easily configure these settings both here from XDA.
[HTC Desire S] ems328i:
Really useful info, thanks very much! Got some questions though if you have a sec?

Is there much difference using ondemand vs virtuous for low battery? Also, I notice your sleep max for low battery is higher than the sleep max for normal of? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Opps! I messed up there entering my figures night, I've EDIT'ed my above post, would appreciate if you edited your quote in your post above, so as not to confuse people.

Not 100% sure on virtuous versus ondemand. Virtuous = is tweaked smartass (or smartass 2)
[HTC Desire S] giligen:
Same here (with the -50).

My phone got hung after 2-3 minutes.

UV numbers are really statistical, some parts will leave with the -50 and some will not. Same goes btw with the -25, for most of us it will work, and for some of us it won't...

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks, good to hear that I wan't alone.....so did your phone come back to use in two minutes, then enabling you to revert the numbers....I suppose that that's the great use of the TEMP activation settings!!

There's no news of this on google!
[HTC Desire S] allen oddest:
CM/MIUI with Tiamat kernel could also undervolting.

It only works with Tiamat kernel, which has HAVS/SVS voltage adjustment feature.

Also undervolting 50mV is the stable settings and saving much more battery:)

BTW: the tools is IncrediControl v1.4

Yeah, sorry I didn't see this reply earlier in the morning. I will change the title, and thread tomorrow to cover OC and UC too, and add my own personal recommended settings

Undervolting risk?

Guys, does the undervolting carry any risk of damaging the phone? i'm not much of a specialist here so just asking out loud. Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Notthat I know of! If anything I would have thought it helps the phone as it preserves the stress on the CPU and.battery by using less power (lower voltage)
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
WATCH OUT! -25 undervolt NOT safe for all!

Hi there,

today I got into trouble very quickly, within 3 clicks. For about two hours I was seriously worried that I hit the dreaded eMMc chip fry. :eek:

Click 1 - in OC/UV Beater, UV1 pane = <All -25>

Click 2 - <Temp Activate>

Click 3 - phone <Home button>

After that the phone remained hanging somewhere between the OC/UV Beater GUI and my Home screen for a couple minutes. Phone absolutely unresponsive (no reaction to Vol.Down + Vol.Up + Power.)

I decided to pull the battery, since it was 100% charged. I waited for a few minutes before reinserting it.

After powering on, the phone got stuck on the white HTC quietly brilliant screen for about 30 minutes. After that it suddenly rebooted and got into a strange boot-loop, sometimes making it all the way to the ROM lock screen and then rebooting again, other times rebooting just straight back from the white HTC screen.

Again, I needed to pull the battery at some point, since the phone was still absolutely unresponsive. No adb commands possible, no button combination possible.

Luckily, I've been able to reboot into bootloader and enter recovery. A Nandroid restore solved the issue.

I've checked then the name of my eMMc chip and it unfortunately is the M4G2DE one. So, given I had to pull the battery twice, this undervolting experiment was certainly a serious risk.

So far, so good. My phone seems to be OK.

I checked the state of my eMMc chip with the <dmesg | grep mmc0> command, and this is what I got. It seems OK to me, but please, if someone here is more experienced, have a look at the output and let me know what you think. Thanxalot.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
I have actually tried using Incredicontrol with Tiamat and TBH, doesn't make that much difference.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
yeah, actually phone rebooted twice on me within the past few days... -50 settings...

sorry for delay, but i will update this thread soon
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Well have had the phone UV by -25 the past few days and also U/C as well to see how the battery lasts and today I have def seen the benefit of it .

Normal use and near 11 hrs later after coming off the charge I am at 50%.

This is unheard of for me usually after 12 hours tyhe phone is back on charge.

This is me using it for calls ,txt ,browsing,Facebook ,Twitter,WhatsApp and generally twatting about with apps. Basically what I would call my normal usage.

Well chuffed is an understatement :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Glad its has helped with your battery :)

Yesterday, my phone came unplugged at 10am, and lasted me till 11pm :)

I went out, used it for several calls, text, standby mostof the time with the phone on. wifi at Starbucks for about an Hour :D

Used it for guitar Tabs app (20minutes) .

Then I did 3 nandroid restores! (Thanks Ben for teaching me) I flashed a mod that didn't work, had to restore. Then later tried out miui ROM, and restored twice after.

By the time I switched my phone off, i had 19% battery :D

UV = -50

OC = 998mhz - 122mhz virtuous

Brightness - 46%

Been on this a couple of weeks now. Tried various ROMs with various kernels. I may not be the best guy around to give advise but -50 has worked for me in nearly every combination (except a hitch or two with Tiamat & Virtuous kernels).

I guess it safe to say most people having -50 undervolt problems may simply have kernel/ROM incompatibility
