[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] homescrub:
I think I found out why it won't work well. My phone is running baseband i777UCKH7.

Its supposed to run on Wi-Fi a/b/g/n. I run a wireless Linksys B router at home and at work. Never gave my phones any issue (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPods, HTC Inspire, BlackBerry Bold 9000, 8300, 8900 and work Laptop).

It seems that B/G are not well suited for the phone or Samsungs Wireless radios, but it easily picks up N signals without any issue. I could be wrong, but just my thoughts.

I might have to upgrade my routers, but for now, I will just do it well with what I got. New Linksys routers don't come cheap, even on craigslist.

Go for ubiquiti (ubnt.com). Their equipment is amazing and really good prices.

The AirRouter

http://ubnt.com/airrouter

is one of the best plug in and go routers I've seen. It doesn't support ddwrt or tomato but it's uptime is the best I've seen.

Most times I can find it online through resellers for $50 shipping included.

The bullet/nanostation is the most useful thing they have in my opinion. Zero drivers. Just plug in ethernet, configure over ip, and it puts out internet through the ethernet port. Crazy power going to the antenna. Way more than anything I've seen in any store.

Primarily they sell to small isp's so most their equipment is designed to be ran 24/7 with no issues.

Samsung devices do fine with 802.11g - I run 802.11g at home with zero problems.

802.11b is utterly ancient - if you're running B it's time to get a router. At this point nearly every ISP has upgraded to the point where they can easily saturate 802.11b. Few, however, are yet capable of saturating a G system.

Is it the kernel that affects wifi then? I notice that my wifi continuously connects then drops to H+ throughout the day. I thought I fixed it before, but its doing it again. I didn't notice it much on Siyah's kernel but I do on yours. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
Probably the WIFI sleep setting causing that.

Yup. Either that or update3 fixes some wifi bug.

I'm finding that many of the movies I have downloaded contain audio that does not play back on my Elocity A7 tablet (movie plays fine but there is no sound). I haven't taken a specific look at which audio codecs they are but I'm guessing some of you have some suggestions. Is there a specific media player I need to download or is there a way to download and install a codec pack like K-Lite?
[A7 General] jtrosky:
Probably an issue with the type of sound encoding.... Apparaently, Tegra 2 devices cannot decode DTS sound, or even Dolby Digital sound. At least that's what I remember reading somewhere.... So, I don't think that there is a way to hear the audio on those files without re-encoding the movie...

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Go to market place and download MX videoplayer and its code pack made specially for tegra, it will play all video files...

So I read that the update enabling ICS on the Optimus 7 is out in europe - but so far I'm not receiving any updates.

I have an open market phone, shouldn't I have gotten this update as soon as LG put it out there? :/

Sorry if this has been asked before, search didn't turn up anything

Edit: After flashing to NL OPN FW, Internet Connection Sharing works nicely :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconata:
You can't get ICS on your Optimus 7, because your phone runs Windows Phone, not Android.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walthur:
I'm not sure what you are thinking, there is no Optimus 7 that runs android...

Quite a few carriers have deployed ICS for the Optimus 7 (E900) and other devices already. Vodafone E900s for example.

My question is, why aren't open market E900s receiving this update?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walthur:
I tried that app, it didn't work.

At most I would have expected it to enable the ICS settings menu, but it did not even do that.

AFAIK the LG devices are still lacking the wifi drivers that allow ICS, which are supposed to be deliverd by this official update. So I'm just a little confused that Vodafone customers already got the update, but the open market phones didn't...

[HTC Incredible S] brew99:
Very new to android devices, but have done quite abit or ready on the subject, and would like to dive into playing now:). i current have a stock 2.3.3 ROM and am about to S-off, root my IS with revolutionary (HBOOT is 1.13.00).

I want to make sure I can back-up my current stock settings (i.e. email, contacts, etc) before loading a custom ROM. Do i use the nandroid back-up option in recovery for that? Also, after loading a custom ROM, is there anyway to get my settings back, so i don't have to enter them all again (i.e. email accounts, contacts, etc) as this took some time, and I'd like to not have to repeat it again if possible?

This forum has really opened my eyes to possibilities for android bevices, as I've been playing with blackberry stuff for the last few years, and wanted a change!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes, you would do a nandroid backup in recovery to make a complete point-in-time backup of your phone. You can backup your installed apps and their settings using Titanium Backup or MyBackupRoot once you S-OFF and root your current ROM.

Found this out in the kernel:

#if defined(SGX540) && (SGX_CORE_REV == 120)
#define SYS_SGX_CLOCK_SPEED 307200000
#else
#define SYS_SGX_CLOCK_SPEED 304742400
#endif

Just wondering.

If this is true, then people are buying an OMAP 4430 when it comes to the SGX 540 power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taxas:
interesting... in a bad way :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinMArchibald:
So that means custom ROMs will be able to not only overclock the CPU, but the GPU, too? Do they have to be overclocked by the same percentage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
I would assume not, since PCs don't overclock cpus linearly with gpus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Where is this code? It doesn't make much sense to hardcode GPU frequencies in the kernel...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnarlyc:
I see it here:

https://bitbucket.org/paulobrien/android_kernel_galaxynexus/src

drivers/gpu/pvr/omap4/sysconfig.h
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
I'd like this to be true. The 4460 as standard is clocked at 1.5ghz with the gpu at 384mhz, since it's currently running at 1.2ghz, a 20% underclock, it seems plausible that the gpu is also underclocked by 20% down to 304mhz. If this is the case it shouldn't take much effort at all to "restore" the chip to its stock speeds resulting in an instant 20% cpu and gpu performance increase and that's before any actual overclocking is considered. Since I find the launcher somewhat laggy at times, especially when using a live wallpaper, this would be great news.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
What about the rest of the story? Im sure the gpu has different stepping frequencies much like the cpu. Its not far fetched that the gpu is underclocked more often than not and goes full blast for gpu intensive stuff like games. Also, is there any word if the gpu can be undervolted? And has any dev uv'ed the cpu yet?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Bah, Gerrit and Gitweb for AOSP are still not up since the kernel.org attack and Google moving to their own infrastructure. It'll be another hour before I can get the AOSP source on this crappy machine to see what happened here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The math is correct and by that logic, which makes sense to me, means that the GPU is directly relational to the CPU clock. This can be good or bad. While overclocking the CPU, you'd also gain GPU performance. On the other hand the GPU may limit overclocking ability... such as the GPU giving out before the CPU is maxed.

So technically the GPU won't run at stated speed until the CPU is ran at its stock 1.5ghz speed.

20% of 384 is 76. 384-76=308

So the question is: Are they relational or is it merely coincidence? Running at 308 in powersave mode?

LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The GPU is indeded underclocked and its being worked on dont worry. There may even be more of a great suprise for Nexus owners ;)

Google has set the 3D rendering to software rather than Hardware it just takes a single file to be deleted to more than double the 3D scores in quadrant.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
308 seems too high still just hw accelerate the os. Seeing how powerful smartphone gpus have become recently one would think it could run lower but then again the sgx 540 is a couple years old.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
seriously???

wow, when are you going to tell us what file that is? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
go to /system/lib/egl

delete libGLES_android.so and reboot (use root explorer or similar to mount the system so the file can be deleted)

This will enable hardware 3D accelleration and make 3D rendering soo much smoother. If you run quadrant before and after you will see the difference especially when the 3D worlds rotate near the end of the test.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
ahh.. so has to be rooted phones?

i didnt root just yet because of warranty @.@
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minooch:
Do you know if there is a reason why they set software rendering as default instead of hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
That line turns out to be irrelevant.

In drivers/gpu/pvr/omap4/sysconfig.c:

#if !defined(SGX_DYNAMIC_TIMING_INFO)
psTimingInfo = &gsSGXDeviceMap.sTimingInfo;
psTimingInfo->ui32CoreClockSpeed = SYS_SGX_CLOCK_SPEED;

In drivers/gpu/pvr/Makefile

ccflags-y += \
-DSUPPORT_SGX \
-DTRANSFER_QUEUE \
-DSGX_DYNAMIC_TIMING_INFO \

So the clock speed appears to be dynamic, at least with Modaco's kernel. Is there a way to read off the GPU clock on a running system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
renaming that .so file raised performance at the spinning globe quadrant scene from 7 fps to 60 fps.. surely google had a reason for doing this.. though I can't imagine what it would be..

So, what does enabling "force hw acceleration" in the dev menu do, then? I'd guess it does exactly that renaming?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Or the nexus wasn't allowed to appear faster than the galaxy s ii??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
if that was the case,than google stil held a gift to us,if it was what you said,than Samsung would have used a lower version( 4430 for example) for the phone instead of the 4460,but google than disagreed(if it was the case) but went with a down clock,knowing we would clock it anyway.

and once the power hungry people find out its even faster than the GII theil go buy the GN?

if that was the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
Is it confirmed that the the Galaxy Nexus is using the OMAP 4460 and not the 4430 which has uses the SGX540 @ 304mhz?

Exynos is faster than OMAP regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Yes. http://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/mobile_m...ct-android-4-0-runs-on-the-omap-platform.aspx

Problem is, TI never said what clock speeds the SGX540 in the OMAP4460 runs at. However, looking at the code, it shouldn't be too hard to make a modified kernel that spits out what clock speeds the SGX540 in the GN is capable of. Hopefully somebody can do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
By confirmed I meant something software or hardware based. I recall the Droid Razr was also claimed to use the 4460 but actually had the 4430.

Sent from my HTC Vivid™
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
The OMAP4460 and OMAP4430 are identical except for the clock speeds. There might be different markings on the chip but iFixit unfortunately didn't peel off the memory package on top of the SoC to let us see what is underneath. At this point the best we could do is figure out what speeds the GPU is actually running at in the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
I thought that there was an app that detected what SoC you have but apparently they only detect the gpu model and not the SoC name. It's a shame ifixit didn't check the SoC when the disassembled the Galaxy Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knzo:
That only affects quadrant and a very small number of games.

It's a known issue with PowerVR graphic cards. In quadrant, 2 out of 3 3D tests rely on software rather than the SGX for the rendering.

That being said, don't jump in happiness since it won't affect your overall experience.

P.S. You can also tweak lib/egl/egl.cfg for the same purpose.

That is not true.

TI specified that OMAP 4430 will run SGX 540 on 304 Mhz whereas OMAP 4460 will run it on 384 Mhz. This information can easily been found on the official website.

Mali-400 is faster than SGX 540 on the SGN with stock kernel. This has been tested by AnandTech with an output of 720p for both. However, judging by Antutu, the CPU of SGN performs better than Exynos and this isn't hard to believe since OMAP usually has some increased CPU optimizations. Nevertheless, we can't forget that Galaxy S2 doesn't have ICS and this better CPU score may very well be caused by software optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
No it doesn't. It just enables hw acceleration for all apps, even if they don't explicitly enable it in their AndroidManifest.xml. It kind of like how CM allowed moving any app to the sdcard, even if the manifest didn't state it supported it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
The better CPU scores are because of ICS. Also, a fairer comparison would be with the Galaxy Note since its optimized for the 720p resolution.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I don't, but then I'm assuming you're using a live wallpaper because I switched to a normal one. I did have some problems when using a LW.

Back to the topic though, doesn't this underclocking just make it even more impressive that games like shadowgun play perfectly smooth etc on this old hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
interesting. Last night when i ran quadrant i was wondering why that test seemed to completely fail compared to my HTC sensation that I was using (and other phones I've had in the past).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongadadu:
No live wallpaper. I think I got a demo handset, the box seal is well worn out, battery pre-inserted and setup already gone through. Will have to return this handset, don't really know what to tell the shop.

Thanks for testing. Anyway back on topic, does shadowgun run at a native 720p, if not then it is not that impressive as it runs on the older nexus which holds same gpu, albeit slightly underclocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
As Chirality explained earlier that value is probably not even used. See his post that I quoted below.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
It's because quadrant isn't optimized for ICS. Not because of any tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Lets just get some custom kernels in so I can clock the GPU to 500Mhz. =P
