[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
It is impossible to clock the cores independently. It IS possible to completely shut down the second core, effectively removing it from the system. Our system does this by default.

It's already done when system load is low. arighi has some kernel patches that change the hotplug heuristics to change when the second core gets fired up:

https://github.com/arighi/linux-gt-i9100

He's got a thread on it somewhere too.
[Galaxy S II General] isisky:
If i remember rights there was a script tath can undervolt cpu independently, but i think that the launcher dont use especialy one core, but switch or use both of them

I am running the 2.3.6 TBH leak and imoseyons 4.0 kernel.

I installed busybox and enabled smartass in the terminal emulator and it seemed to take the command, but how can I check and make sure the governor setting is actually working??

If you are willing to share your experiences with the new radios, post away!

I am primarily curious how the radios behave on 3G. For me its too early to tell, so I will post after some testing. So far they seem roughly the same as EP3HA radios although I did have to pull the SIM to get it to behave after flashing. I'm hoping it will be stable now.

I got the new Radios over at mydroidworld. There is a EP4P radio thread on rootzwiki but XDA seems to get a lot of traffic so I posted here. I'll post links if you would like me to.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Personally i think the signal strength is lower everywhere compared to the EE4 and EP1-3 radios. Never had ant data dropping on any radio so can't comment on that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Highriser:
Work great for me!

I think they are a bit better from EE4. I have dropped signal too many times to count on all the previous radios, but I have been using this for 2-1/2 days and, so far, haven't dropped once. The signal seems overall better, I have 3 bars in the basement of my house when I normally would have 2 on the other radios. Texts work quick, and calls come in quick (I called myself from our house phone and texted myself from my iPod and other phone. Seems to be equal or better to EE4. At least for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davwman:
strangely enough I get better battery life on cdma/lte then cdma only :-/
[Verizon Droid Charge] Highriser:
Same here. Plus, I have more problems (Lose connection, etc.) on CDMA only than on CDMA/LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
That's... Strange
[Verizon Droid Charge] quarky42:
I won't comment on signal strength or quality, but I will say that in the last 2 or 3 modems there have been some huge glaring bugs in how it picks up 3g signal while LTE is enabled... The bugs I had experienced in the last 2 or 3 modems are not there, so far. This means that I can get 3g data in places that I the last couple modems failed to get 3g if LTE was enabled. I could disable LTE and get 3g signal, but even that was buggy / glitchy at best. Using a much earlier modem I would get consistent 3g signal in those places.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ermacaz:
Same
[Verizon Droid Charge] bluevolume:
I am having problems with SMS on this build, I'm not sure if it is the radio's fault or not. I'm getting a lot of "failed" messages that will go out after a retry. Twice now, though, I've had to reboot the phone to get messages flowing again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Same here
[Verizon Droid Charge] cmdrfrog:
I STILL get the nasty audio pops on speakerphone, though it appears to be fixed on the earpiece and bluetooth modes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
The new radio made my 3G speeds surprisingly usable (was practically useless in my neighborhood with any other radio) but 4G still drops out quite often.
[Verizon Droid Charge] brennanb:
Mine was dropping data constantly at first like other roms then it just went away now it works like it should. Im clueless to why its working but I'm a happy boy now

[About XDA developers] exadeci:
There is something really common on xda that make it annoying to read topics and create huge topics with tons or pages, it's the members useless posts.

Usually a dev post a new hack/rom/kernel etc...

And some member post to say thanks instead of using the thanks button

Others complain about something not working even if the OP said it wouldn't work

And then you have the members that answer to the one complaining that he has to learn to read but instead of having one member saying this there is always like 5 members doing it

So I'm requesting a down vote or something similar that would hide or delete the usless posts in a thread to make it smaller and easier to read and could help lighten the xda database
[About XDA developers] Jumba:

(just kidding)

This needs to be seriously considered by the mods - will make life better for all of us.

[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Not exactly what you are looking for, but we added an easy way to obscure posts by folk on your ignore list. So, if there are one or two posters in a thread that are generating lots of useless posts in your view, click their name and choose to add them to your ignore list.
[About XDA developers] zpon:
The ability to minimize or in other ways hide post with less information (e.g. post of people saying thanks, or posts with questions which has been answered) is very useful, especially for threads with high activity, such as the cyanogen thread and ICS sdk thread in i9000.
[About XDA developers] exadeci:
Are you thinking about implementing the idea or not yet ?

I'm 50/50 about the idea. I can see the benefit, but I can also see it being abused. Either way, your enthusiasm doesn't change the fact that no-one has posted here for over 3 months. I'm guessing that there's not too much interest in it.

i all,

i wipe everything, install 5.2, just after i put A2sdx last rc version

and when i reboot i'll wait for 15 min i still have "the man with the card" screen and nothing happen ?

any ideas ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baraikarcho:
Why don't you try 4ext Recovery , and then try to partition your card from the recovery with full wipe and the instructions from the rom!I think when you do this you'll be ok ... try it :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachin.02:
Hi

i'm in CM7rc2

I install 5.2 with AD2SDX v1.0-rc01

and don't work for me too

block on the splash screen

in 5.0 it work properly with the AD2SDX beta4.4 but not with RC01

I think their is some problem with rc01
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
because the cards are already partitioned and 4EXT uses SD parted with no GUI, no alignment. Does it remove existing partitions?
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Anyone else have the problem of the screen lifting?

I have only had the phone a few weeks, never dropped it.

These pics will explain:

Then I can press it down:

But it creeps back up.
[HTC Desire S] AeronK:
I read a post that a high capacity battery, which is slightly larger, can force this to happen. Are you using the standard battery or a replacement high capacity one?
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Standard battery.

I even tried keeping the screen and case clamped together over night. (very carefully obviously!)

It stayed normal slightly longer than when you just press it, but did still rise back up.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Got the exact same problem, also never dropped, and tried the exact same solution.

It's not that the case is bent, so it must be the screen flexing and lifting from the band of adhesive that holds it in. My worry is that it will get worse. I can even insert a slip of paper between the frame and the screen on one side, for about a quarter of the length on the right hand side towards the bottom (so 5 O clock if it was a clock face.) But the actual corner I can't get a slip of paper under, so the problem on mine is more the latter part of the lower side of the screen on the right.

I'm often tempted to lift it more and try to put in a tiny blob of glue or to try to smuggle glue in using a bit of paper as a delivery method, but my fear is a) smears and b) that releasing the screen any more than is necessary in order to get glue in will cause the adhesive to fail more - and the glue might not work anyways. Superglue is a no-no by the way, it'd be more something like UHU or Bostik.

But if it gets worse... Let me know if you're brave enough to try.

PS

I've not contacted HTC to ask for a swap - this phone is a swap and I just don't fancy the rigmarole again. But you might ask them.
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
I have seen other thread on XDA with other devices that have done this.

I mean the buttons and everything works perfectly, seems daft to send it back for this, but then it IS a fault.

I did wonder if it was a heat issue? I have noticed that when you play a game on it for a while, holding it it does get warm...does this make the adhesive soft and flex??
[HTC Desire S] kire.htc:
One possible thing that makes the glue not so strong is high temperature. I have 2 Sensations before Desire S, and i was disapointed from that phone because of the poor glue quality on the display. In the first one i have dust under digitizer and display and the second one have the same problem as your Desire S. The only way to fix this is to open the phone, remove the digitizer with display (without separate them), buy 2mm 3M Sticker and put new sticker on the places that are not fitting good. It is not so hard but if you want to do that you need to be VERU CAREFUL with the display because it's very thin and you can broke it. On Youtube you can find few dissembling video for desire s. Good luck!!
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
The science of expansion and contraction? You can try leaving it in your refrigerator awhile and see what happens :)
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
I have this problem, and still do have this problem. It used to really urk me off at first, but I've since learn to live with it unfortunately.

The right side of the bottom of the display is worse than the left side, but the left side has a 0.2mm gap between the screen and the casing, right where the USB port is (only visible when the battery cover is removed and light is shining through the back) (I also believe the creaking case comes from near this area).

Once again, it used to frustrate me to all hell seeing it, but I've learned to live with it.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
You are all making me tempted to get the UHU out
[HTC Desire S] Bocciolo:
Mine is the same.

But i have noticed it since it came out from the box...
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Thankfully I've not experienced this problem, but I will throw a couple of ideas into the pot for interest:

(1) If I remember correctly, applying heat is part of the official method for removing the glass screen from the body during the repair process. This suggests that the DS may be much more vulnerable when hot.

(2) Don't even think of using superglue (cyanoacrylate) for glueing the glass back. This stuff seems to have a volatile component that can mist up displays or windows some distance away (as I previously discovered to my cost on another project).
[HTC Desire S] Drummansam:
I also suffer from this symptom, and have done out of the box. I've noticed that if you rub from the body onto the glass on the top of the phone it's flush, whereas on the bottom there is a definite rise on the glass. I can also push the glass down on the bottom corners. But they always rise up again instantly. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case with every desire s.
[HTC Desire S] oftiklaus:
Had the same issue since day one, in April, only that with me it was the lower right corner, not as dramatic as the one in the picture though. Also had a gap between the screen gasket and the body of the frame (one could stick a thick sheet of paper through);

I sent the phone to the warranty center and got it back a few days later with a crappy statement that the manufactury/ assembly issues i reported are not considered faults...

So i sealed the gap with fine black silicone paste (just a tricle) and learned to live with the risen screen corner.

After discovering the faults with my phone I checked with other handsets at every dealer I came across and guess what? about 1/3 of the terminals examined with my now "expert" eye have one or several of the issues mentioned in this thread.

I think the phone was rushed into production and somebody screwed big time in the Quality Control department before it was released for mass production.

So you can complain to the HTC call-center and try to have the handset replaced. If you get a replacement, so much the better. Good luck!
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Interesting to hear so many people suffering from it.

May just learn to live with it as it does sound like a common fault, and sending it back may be a waste of time!
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
The issue for me is if it gets worse as I know it wasn't there originally (having read a post about it and checked my phone carefully.) Four months later....
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Part of me doesn't want the faff of sending it back...
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Ok so I am not alone on this. Had the same issue but not to the extent in the pics attached, mine was a little loose on the bottom right corner, if pressed made a creaking/squeaking sound, if kept pressed for a few seconds, would get fixed for a few hours.

How I inadvertently fixed it is by forgetting my phone in direct sunlight for a good 30-40 mins, must have been 35-40 Celsius out around 2 PM. When I remembered and retrieved my phone from my terrace it was considerably hot, just turned it on to check if the phone was alright, must have pressed down due to force of habit but I think the glue stuck for good that time.

Never squeaked since then. :):):)

By no means is this a way to fix your phone but it worked for me by chance. :) :D

Edit:

Damn HTC for their shabby build quality.:mad:
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
So what happens if I apply a hairdryer to the screen? Good idea, bad idea?
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Don't think it's a good idea. Try getting HTC to do something about it, if they could take it off and reapply the screen with the required adhesive.
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Earlier today I left it by my laptop fan and it got very hot, held the screen down after and it did stick back for longer, but did creep up again... :( luckily the heat didn't damage my done :P I may email o2 as there support is better than htc's! They replaced my screen in my old HD2 last year no problems.
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Probably not something I should recommend, but last night I had my phone around 38.5º, so I decided to "stand" (I'm using this loosely because I've got a feeling some people are going to take my advice incorrectly) on the base of the phone/ casing, and I've found the screen is staying down today, but that could be famous last words ;-).

In saying this though, I only weigh about 63kg. So more pressure could be more risky. As well as OHS, in regards to slipping and smashing your head on the surrounding objects.

I'll post a picture later on to describe what I mean.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Was the phone face up or face down?
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to vary in how much it creeps up in different heat... :confused:
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Has anyone else noticed the backlight for the button (Home, Menu, Back & Search) stop working?

Mine has, but also the actual button tend to randomly stop working. Turning the screen off and back on brings them back, contacting O2 today to get it repaired.
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Just got off the phone to O2 and there sending me a new replacement handset tomorrow for exchange.

Fingers crossed its a better device!
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Lucky bastard! Check the replacement carefully!
[HTC Desire S] Bocciolo:
Just talked with HTC costumer care in Italy...they told me that this kind of problem is not covered by warranty :(
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
I certainly will!

What? how can that not be a warranty issue? It's not a moving part or a removable cover...

HTC Support is terrible, that's why I always go through my provider, NEVER had a problem with support from O2 (touch wood).

I wasn't even aware I had a 28 day cover for faulty products...
[HTC Desire S] Bocciolo:
Yep, i know is not a removable cover or so...but they only said that i should pay if i want it to be fixed -.-''
[HTC Desire S] MalekoUK:
Got my replacement today!

Had a good look all over the phone before i even turned it on etc, and all seems fine.

Everything is as it should be, so now time will tell!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kdkinc:
Yesterday 11/9 I called Acer customer Service with a couple of what I think were basic Tablet OS questions.

The question were in a what if type situation.

My first question concerned updating my A100 with a update zip from the internet.

What will Acer charge me to repair a rooted A100 that

I

had applied a update zip and "bricked" my A100 ?

Answer : "Oh just go to the Android Market and use a Application Manager "

I repeated the same question with a little more clairification.

"We will help you do a Factory reset"

Real helpful stuff so far. lol

Second question.

Why can't my Linux computer "see" my A100 so I can swap files on my external-sdcard ?

"Oh go to the Android Market and install Linpus" (Mee-go)

So your telling me that a Linux based PC can't "see" a Linux based Tablet ?

no reply.

Have you ever heard of Linux ?

"No"

He was very polite and honest !

But the point here is that Acer hires Customer Service reps that possibly would have trouble screwing in a 60 watt light bulb !:eek:

If your hiring a service rep at least make sure they know what there products are.

Domino's pizza could of offed better answers .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] skeeterpro:
Wow. This makes me very very uncomfortable! Granted Level 1 support seldom is staffed by long-time techs BUT from your experience one has to be concerned. This also bespeaks that we need to hope user forums increase as it would seem we'll have to rely on each other more!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kingofall00:
I have 5 more days before to return my GS2. i have LOVED it, but im just thinking if i should just return it and get the new skyrocket? any help would be Very much appreciated. thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JFizDaWiz:
I say yes, love the big screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] crawlgsx:
Depends on what is important to you. Personally getting the Skyrocket was easy for me. I love the 4.5" screen.

If you care about benchmark stats, then the S2/exynos win.(the Skyrocket is still smooth as butter)

If you care about DPI then S2 wins, the Skyrocket has stretched the same res to 4.5", that said I came from the Infuse so it looks just as great as what made me purchase the Infuse in the first place.

If you have/will soon have (1-6months) LTE, then Skyrocket for sure.

Personally I also believe the Skyrocket will have a better resell value, due to LTE being upgraded over the next year. Anyone in an LTE city is not going to want someones S2 while the Skyrocket will likely still hold some value.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
I don't know if it's just me, but going from a 4in screen (Captivate) to a 4.3in screen with the same resolution is not something I'm really liking. It's just everything becoming bigger on the screen. Going to 4.5in while keeping an 800x480 resolution is quite annoying.

I'm shocked Samsung didn't up the resolution for the GSGII line. Or atleast the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
qwertyaas

I agree. I wanted a bigger screen, not bigger buttons. Oh well. I'm still very happy with the ogsgs II.

Make a phone with a higher resolution and I'll be tempted.

But still the compatibility we have with the international version is awesome. One of the main points to appreciate about a phone is the dev support. Ogsgs II now has 'worldwide' support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
The Dev support is the major reason I picked up a SGSII on Sunday and not the Skyrocket. Coming from the Captivate, I know how Samsung and AT&T work. Firmware releases are lagged months behind the International version. Meaning, the SGSII will be getting i9100 ports while the Skyrocket might be waiting on AT&T or Tmobile to throw out ICS.

LTE is nice and all, but with my 2GB data I don't really stream videos at all. And the screen size is just getting too big for that resolution. It's one major reason I was considering the Vivid (until I held it in my hand).

The LCD Density can always be changed but it sometimes causes more issues than it fixes.
