[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Green Man:
I've tried Opera mini and it's OK, but it's nothing compared to the default browser and I prefer the second even when it doesn't recognize the dual touch. I'll try the other two apps you say, but the thing is that I wanna know if there's a way I could bring the apps from a 2.3 ROM to a 2.1 one.

Tried touchpad dialer -> It's an OK app, but it sends me to my default app when I wanna edit, which doesn't solve the annoying problem of eclair when you merge contacts. It randomly chooses the name of the contact (Facebook, Twitter or the Name I gave it).

Tried also Ninesky -> Doesn't recognise my dual touch.

i know that the Photon and the Electrify are the same phone sans the Wimax.

what i have not see is any kernels that say they work for the Electrify has any one seen a OC kernel that works for "100%" with the Electrify.

Some people have used my kernels with success. I cant promise though
[Motorola Photon 4G] lioncat55:
it seems to be working. i had one question. it looks like you are overclocking the gpu is this ture and if so is it auto overclocked or do i need to use a app to over clock it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Auto kind of. Ive gotta dig to find the scaling to improve the code. It works but ram speed is bottlenecking. Ill bump that up soon too.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knightowl23:
Do you know how to root the phone using a mac? If not heimdall does work. You need to be comfortable using terminal and it's very easy once you know what you are doing. I rooted my phone using Max's kernel v3 with CWM. It's a thread for it in the development section.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:
Are there any other existing kernels for sgs4g besides the ones on the first page?

Reason I ask is because I'm trying to use a swap partition, but it seems these kernels are not swap enabled.

Why has nobody bothered to compile any custom kernels for the sgs4g? I am trying myself, but no luck so far.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

S
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'm not sure I can answer the whole question as to why we don't use swap, but I can say that we just got the GB kernel source, and people are still working on it and haven't posted anything.... yet. Patients... :)

But, I noticed that the Bali 3.3 kernel (KD1) also did not have swap. Maybe drhonk and Krylon360 tried it and swap didn't help or improve performance.

The rest of the kernels you'll find are either stock leaks, or modified stock leaks. Samsung doesn't like swap I guess. Or swapping on SD/MMC sucks hard.

I know in newer kernels (3.0 and greater), there is a new driver for mtd-swap, but it is still very new and I doubt anyone will use it in production for quite some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
Using swap on Android is not such a great idea, it goes a little bit against native Android memory management. Then benefit can be that more programs will stay in memory and won't need to reload, but the phone will become a lot slower, even with small partitions like 32MB. With 128MB or higher it will become almost unusable. Ask me how I know :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
I think the need for swap was gone once phones started coming with 512mb+ ram. I used swap all the time (also required for GB) on my MT3G, since it only had like 192mb ram. It never made the phone work faster at all, in fact it usually slowed down over time running, it really just made it so stuff didn't force close due to running out of memory. This shouldn't be needed on this or any new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:
So Bali 3.3 is a GingerBread build? Didn't know that. Kinda figures I guess. Thought I had already tried it though and couldn't bootload. I'll give it another whack. His stuff is awesome of course. I'm not demanding it, mind you, just trying to see why it would not be included. Kind of like not having a /proc/config.gz file in some Android builds, don't really know the reason why they're not included (results in not able to mount ubuntu builds, anybody have these let me know :).

This appears to be the only source of kernels for our phones, no swap support enabled though. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194032

(Thanks dr.honk!)

As for the swap partition not making sense, I have a hard time understanding why it wouldn't just provide a static and beneficial extended memory source. I am familiar with the memory management features of Android, and actually don't use any additional task killers as I've found them to be conflicting often.

But Android is built off the Linux system/kernel, so why does dedicated swap work with a large OS but not the smaller but similar Android OS/kernel?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
In short, the phone will become annoyingly slow.

Swap works on kernel level. Android will see this as additional virtual memory, so it will keep more programs alive and won't unload them. For example a browser will hog a lot of memory causing other programs' memory pages to be swapped. Kernel doesn't differentiate between programs, so, for example, the launcher memory pages will be swapped. Or even the active program you are currently working with can have part of its memory in the swap. Next time you try to do something (like scrolling), the memory pages will have to be brought back. Flash memory is not particularly fast (in fact for swap it is very slow), so you can we waiting for some noticeable time for many actions to complete. You'll have a lot of jerky movements, delays, temporary freezes, forget any smoothness. It is just annoying, trust me, I've tried :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:
Ah, ok so the swapping is noticeably slower than the ram on the phone (512mb). I would not figure that it would be too much of a factor, especially on class 6+ sd cards. So there is absolutely no way of coding the system apps to be ram based, and everything else to be swappable? I'm surprised that this has not been done, but I assume that the reason is the expanding active ram capacities on new phones.

So were you experimenting on the sgs4g, or was it another model? And if so, what were you using? Froyo swap enabled kernel?

The HTC Thunderbolt has some similar specs.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106420

More ram 768mb vs 512mb, more internal storage 4g vs 1000mb, but uses a 1g single core scorpion processor instead of our 1g single core hummingbird. Some are having good luck with this device and swapping (taking all "facts" with a grain of salt). There is more like this too, with a number of market apps to support swapping: Swapper2, Swap for Root, Diaper swappers forum (oops, that one doesn't work for some reason).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No, Bali 3.3 is Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AntonX:
I did try it on this phone few months ago when I was still on Froyo with Bali kernel. Don't try to load in on GB, wait until DrHonk makes a new one, he actually may soon.

I personally can't imagine how anybody could use swap on Android and like it, but everybody's mileage varies. The benefit of using swap wouldn't be speed but rather less program reloads. For example you browse the web when a call comes. You answer the call, maybe go to address book, or take some notes, or send some pictures, etc. Everything will be a little slow and jerky, but with swap enabled you have better chance that when returning to the browser it will still be on the same page without reloading from the server.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:
Just checking again to see if anyone knows of any KJ6 kernels with swap enabled, as I'm currently getting memory warnings from running Backtrack 5 non-gnome. It works pretty well otherwise (besides the lack of space, thanks obsolete fat32).

??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
No swap. what version of the kernel are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:


2.6.35.7 KJ6-CL694138

It has bryan@flambe#9 signature on it. I know we had spoken briefly about swap. What linux are you running?

I know that the Debdroid program is successfully running swap with good results, but it won't mount right with the specific scripts (our phones working mount scripts are different, I linked them in my linux post). I can take some coding from that programs scripts but of course it won't work without the kernel having swap built in.

I charge my phone up to 100 percent and even on standby it goes to like 90 percent in about 3 hours and to about 80 in about 5 hours...is this normal....I don't believe this is a normal standby time for any phone...

also does the phone get extremely hot when using navigation without charging???? I get about 40 minutes of navigation and the battery is at 55 to 60 percent...is this normal for everyone???

I called HTC they said the phone should NEVER GET WARM OR HOT and getting that much battery life for navigation is just crazy!!!!...they said the only time the phone will get a little warm is when charging the phone, but never hot...just slightly warm.

also it is the phone itself that is getting hot not the battery.

defective unit???
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
Rumor has it that the update to software version 1.36.531.6 addressed overheating issues. Not sure of the effect as I updated my phone out of the box. I've had my phone for 5 days now and have not had any overheating issues at all. I have not used the nav for any extended time yet, but keep in mind that it used the modem, gps and display so your batter will drain a lot quicker.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
ya I understand but 40 percent in 40 minutes....and it does overheat extremely....I updated to the latest software as well right when I got it.

[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
The other day my phone got hot - very hot - during a 1/2 hour conversation using a VoIp app (Viber). It reached 114.4 Fareinheit degree. At that point I was on Stock 1.36.531.6 (NOT .5 though)

Testing it again using the same VoIP app with the same length conversation on QuikSense 1.5.1. Temperature stayed at +/- 100 F
[HTC Amaze 4G] celltimemb:
114 is a normal temp, phones dont have cooling fans like a pc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
'Course I known that phone doesn't have a built-in cooling fan

Or maybe I should email HTC and suggested them to built-in an AC unit then ..

Would you kindly post some kind of a proof that 114F is a "normal" temp

Please enlighten me a bit since my phone normally showed temperature between 70's up to under 100's max - and I can proof that with screenshot

* 1st pic at 22nd row:

Baterry discharged at the rate of -1023mA = 82.2F

* 2nd pic - 5th row from bottom up:

Baterry charging at the rate of +862mA = 78.4F

* 7th pic - 25th row:

Baterry discharged at the rate of -1013mA = 80.9F
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
You could check your battery use for any offending apps that might be sapping your power
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I did tried to narrowed down an individual app that may caused the high temp without succeed but the problem did not existed when using Xboarder's QuikSense 1.5.1 in the exact same situation/setting and I'm happy with that.

Just wanna share some experiences with others who may have the same issues though
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
seems like I'm one of the few...I will be exchanging the phone...you are right...I did pay the entire price of the phone...no contract...so yea...will be exchanging it.

Battery and charging issues

I have an Amaze from Telus. The phone charged up fine and worked well with decent battery life. I am in the U.S. and now when I have fully charged the phone while its off and then turn it on the bootscreen loads but then the phone dies. Could it be the Supplied Charger or the USB Cable is not giving it enough of a charge? When I swapped out the included HTC battery with an Anker battery it powers up and works fine. Does anybody have any ideas? I have read that some of the Micro USB cables were problematic and didn't allow power to flow to the phone. I have also heard that the HTC power adapter also has had some problems as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The111:
I haven't tried any ICS early builds and probably will just wait for the official release. But I do have a question that maybe someone who has tried the early builds can answer now?

On ICS with the standard SMS app, are 160+ char messages auto-split? It is a very minor problem but it is probably my biggest gripe with GB that it can't do this. I end up using a 3rd party app (with auto-split capability) for long messages, but I'd prefer to use stock for everything.

Thanks!

No, there isn't auto split. Its gonna stop exactly at 160 and it won't let you pass that.
