Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has experimented with Tegrak Overclock Ultimate's GPU optimization settings. It allows you to undervolt the GPU. Has anyone tried this and is there any benefit to battery life savings with this? I am playing around with the settings right now, so I'll post my results later. So far been able to undervolt the 267 mhz step by -75mv from 1000mv down to 925mv (900mv is unstable for me). And I undervolted the 160 mhz step by -150mv from 900mv down to 750mv. There is also a 200 mhz step I haven't played with. Perhaps keeping the GPU at 200/160 can yield potential battery savings when playing games because games drain the battery so fast.

Hm. I seem to be able to undervolt the 200 mhz step to 750mv as well. I'm going to run a 200/160 gpu setup at 750mv and see if I can save any battery playing Gun Bros and will let you guys know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
Really? I only have the 267 and 160 MHz clock settings available. Any thoughts anyone?

Oh, I have underclocked my GPU settings but only by a modest 25mV each.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
There's only 2 steps, but u can change the clock between 160, 200, and 267
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pandemik.0:
yep ... good results

Yep I've been experimenting with GPU undervolting and had some sucess. So I was methodically working downwards and testing stability... then i saw this thread and thought what the hell, right? I shot for lowest mv of 750 and it's rock solid at 200mhz.

Can confirm 750mv stable at 100, 134, 160 and 200mhz. 267mhz can't be undervolted that much.

I've locked 200mhz 750mz for both speed steps and left it at that. Phone has yet to display any instability in a couple of days of mixed use including gaming. Battery life better? Subjectively yes, mostly I notice phone doesn't get so hot playing Dead Space.

Power consumption scales down almost linearly with clock cycles, and exponentially with voltage (right?). So by my math GPU is using about 40% of the power it does at full 267mhz. I wonder what the TDP of the exynos 4210 is and how much the Mali 400 contributes to that, would give some idea of what battery life to expect. Since GPU sits idle a lot, I doubt it's a magic fix.

Such is the power of our phones I have to underclock the CPU and GPU quite far before any 3D game gets too choppy to play. 160mhz is more than fine for most.

Usually undervolting makes the most sense for power saving because a given computing workload takes a certain number of cpu cycles. But 3D usually tries to render as many frames as it can, with the exception of S2's 60fps frame cap. So slowing down the GPU to no more than you need might improve gaming battery life?

My SGS2 is a bit sensitive to undervolting although underclocking of CPU, so I'm happy be able to so agressively undervolt the GPU.

I'd be interested to know who else can just set 200mhz & 750mv and have it rock solid? If not, 200/800 or 160/750?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jyaworski:
I've rarely had problems when I use Tegrak. Then again, I undervolt 100mv on my cpu between 200-1000mhz, and about 50mv on my GPU at 267mhz with the noop scheduler and tweaks enabled. If I can get Tegrak to work with the Gunslinger kernel (currently causes reboot loops when I load the overclock module), I'll report back on battery life with Tegrak and experiment a little more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
I had the same problem with Gunslinger, I decided to keep my phone on Rogue Stock EL29.

I've been able to drop my GPU Level 0 Clock to 160mhz and voltage to 850mv with out any issues.

I also keep my GPU 1 Clock at 100mhz and my voltage at 750mv without a problem.

Using noop of course.

Changing GPU clocks and volts doesn't help much.

Keeping your CPU Internal Voltage and Core Voltage -50mV and keeping it scaled 200-800 MHz will give you much better battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ramabg:
I think the effect would be more significant in ICS since ICS use GPU to render UI

Hi,

Is there an app that would hide app which we are using? Just like in N9. I'm annoyed cause my back key light is always turning on.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] PearlKami:
when i was using go launcher 3 weeks ago, i remembered it allows to hide app, you can try :D or why dont you group similar apps in a folder ;) this launcher can do :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Brajano95:
I just want to hide an app when I quickly swipe from top to bottom :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] xdaboy122:
dude press the home button or use swipe pad ..................:cool::cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Brajano95:
I was using swipepad, but couldn't set it to show homescreen cause ADW.Launcher EX doesn't show ADW in applications, and Swipepad shows 9 applications, not just simply one :/

Solved, using skyfish app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmike2424:
when you press the power button on your gnex, does it feel kind of soft?

Its hard to explain but i like the click feel when i press the volume buttons but when i press the power i dont get the click. i feel like i have to press just a little harder than using the volume.

I have never touched another gnex so i wanted to see if its normal or if my power button is giving already. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
My power button is slightly softer on tactile feedback but I don't put any more pressure on the power than the volume keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
Mine is the same on both sides. Just to make sure I took off the TPU case since that covers the volume rocker but not power. They have the same level of feedback; not too clicky and not too mushy.

I do remember the first Galaxy S I had where the volume rocker was so loose it rattled like it was nobody's business. That phone was exchanged and the replacement was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
The power button has less force, but I actually like that better since I press it much more than the volume rocker buttons. I guess psychologically to me it feels like less wear and tear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
Ya am actually worried that over time the power button would level with the phone's body. I feel like it is sinking in lol...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
When I first wanted to flash the cm7.1 rom to my phone I downloaded ROMmanager. When I tried to flash the CWM Recovery to my phone, SGA did not show up on the list of recognized devices.

I found a workaround on the forum somewhere which had a custom CWM version which I flashed onto my phone directly without ROMmanager.

Now I checked ROMmanager again and SGA was recognized and I flashed the official CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9 to my ace.

Does this now mean that the custom version is deleted and the new official CWM is the current recovery? I want to add mods to my rom using CWM so I need to know if this is safe.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
U MUST DELETE ROM MANAGER NOW!!!!!!!!! IT has killled a lot of galaxy aces dont use it !!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FlavioJCosta:
hi. i am having a few problems in restore the original rom with cwm restore.

Yes , if it's recogised it's safe .

If you know what you're doing .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FlavioJCosta:
hi domnic, sorry i didnt answer your post when i am with problems, but i found a solution :D

i just flashed new stock rom with odin and everything worked fine...no needed to send my ace to vodafone.

thx :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ark:
Just got the prime and it's prompting me to update the firmware ota. Not sure if i should cuz i dont want to lose any ability to root later on. This update might patch any exploit.

What do you think?

For those who updated, did you notice any difference?

Android browser is rather sluggish and force close on me several times already.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
If you ever want to root don't do it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
If you have some problems (WiFi, GPS) I would just do it. The root method for the TF101 isn't working with or without update anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Wrong I got root access on my 32GB champagne from newegg until I updated
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Id say yes and update. people here posting not being able to root before and after Ota. Update helps your device even run better. add far as force close goes, more than likely from an app you installed thats not really compatible yet with prime or honeycomb version. tons of apps still needed to be updated from developers side.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Really? I have read much people who couldn't root it with that method. With or without update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djsaad1:
Asus doesn't care about us rooting the device(they are not apple), I am sure they didn't try to block it on purpose. There will be a way to root sooner or later.

And even if I am wrong and there won't be a way to root you are going to want to update to ICS either way so you might as well update now while your at it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
They have changed the APK. The APK is an AES-128 private key that can only be read by the AES engine on the motherboard.

I don't think they did that on accident, it's pretty obvious to me it was done precisely to block the razorclaw root (which uses a leaked APK).

note: braifart led me to type APK when I meant SBK ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djsaad1:
I see your point, but on the other hand the original way of installing an apk was a huge security flaw as well so they pretty much had to change it.

I just started my research on the last transformer and noticed asus really is trying to block us from root for some reason. I came from a xoom and a tab 10.1 which both got rooted right away.

I am wondering why asus cares so much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I wouldnt care all that much about root until ICS is out^^ Lots of stuff is going to change anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
So does this mean no root ever?

I will cry if this tab doesn't get root!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
If it does that be great. but I am sure ICS will bring much more happy ideas to the table
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Superguy:
Razorclaw worked for me and I'm rooted. Tested and confirmed with Adfree and Titanium Backup.

I'm not touching the update until we get some devs on here who can keep root permanently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravizzle:
Can u please post your build number?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Superguy:
I posted the versions in the Razorclaw thread.

I've never messed much with

Hulu so i don't know that i could find enough to tell you what you're looking for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jwigginton:
For all you lucky folks that have received your Prime.. I've yet to see one in person, as no Game Stops in my area sells tablets. In some pics on the web the purple tint is very purple, and others barely noticeable.

Are you happy with the Amethyst color? Too purple? Just right?

Looks like the Champagne model is actually more silver also. I have the Amethyst model on pre-order from Newegg and should receive it... some time... before... the end of time. I think my local 7-11 Convenience Store is supposed to get in stock before newegg at this point.

So until then, look forward to feedback.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bizdady:
Ya I keep checking for pictures from reviews and its hard to tell without seeing. I have one of each on preorder, but need to cancel one. I was thinking of going Amethyst since the lighter color might show scratches easier? Decisions Decisions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spaded21:
Depends on the light and the angle you look at it, which is why it looks different in different pictures. Personally I don't think it's too purple, even at it's purplest. I hate gold so there was no way I was getting the campaign one. Plus you don't see the back when you are using it and you can always get some kind of skin or cover.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RJM77:
The Prime definitely has a purplish hue to it which stands out more in certain light. Is it a "feminine" purple hue? In my opinion, no. But the purple is definitely there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
its barley purple unless a light is directly on it, more of a smoke gun metal imo, i love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
Besides which, and nothing personal to the OP but "too purple" is a subjective judgement and impossible to answer correctly for someone else.

I don't have one, I'm stuck in the hell that is the champagne gray units.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] minisugar:
Oooh, I love purple! I hope mine is extra purpley then. But to me I see it kind of like bluing that is done to most guns - my father always did it to his guns - and thats how the grey kind of looks to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
it's essentially dark gray with hints of purple in direct light, if someone were to glance at it, they would probably say something along the lines of "hey, nice gray tablet"

i am curious to see the champagne one as well, the main reason i didn't buy it was 1. i was afraid it would have too much gold tint to it and 2. in its silverest hues, it resembles an ipad too much.

that and i like darker colored gadgets anyways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogar1978:
Mine looks grey when not in direct sunlight but when light hits it the right way you could see the purple a mile away. I am one that tends to have all black electronics but the purple does not hurt my masculinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
It's a metal type of look under different lighting condition it looks different. At first almost liking the gold one more but now that i own the grey it looks really nice specially when paired with the dock it looks better then the gold imho.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
no purple for me lol

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] desert_mouse:
I agree with Jzen . More smoke gun metal than purple. No one here has even thought it was purple.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lazarus Trout:
I like purple

I hope the purple is fairly prominent. I like purple. And I root for the Baltimore Ravens, so a purple tablet is a good thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Same. More gun metal gray too me. I hardly notice any purple.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
I actually like the the amethyst gray and i am really pulling for the ravens....to lose! They HAVE to. Go Steelers. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The Amethyst Grey is more dark grey. I got the Champagne Gold and it is more silver except with certain lighting it goes gold. Asus did an awesome job with the colors; they look so beautiful. You cannot go wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jim_0068:
I'm guessing same color as zenbooks. Check that out in the store and should give you an idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
i would like to see more pics of it.

Yea more pics in different lighting would be nice. Dark, in the light, outside, normal, etc

Yep I got the 32gb grey at gamestop friday & i have to say it's a nice color.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dakine:
So we've seen plenty of pictures of the grey version how about some pics of the silver one?! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] franky_402:
I have the champagne gold model, don't have any pics but its not as gold as i thought it was going to be, i actually like it, wanted the grey but all i could get was this one in time so i jumped on it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cerabys:
Its more gray than purple and I think the color combo looks great when it hits the light a certain way giving just a hint of purple. By no means feminine. And it should draw some attention to itself, first quad core tablet! Cept mine is frozen ATM..

All depends on the lighting.

Guys, I'm concerned this app is tracking information via GPS even when its turned off. I believe this wasn't the case previously when it was on the market as a paid app.

I used LBE Privacy to deny that permission, now it doesn't do it.
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
Ok, now here you are and asking me if there are not enough minesweeper games around the planet - i say no, mine is the best and that's the end of it :-) just kidding (but it is..).

First of all, this Minesweeper Game runs on a hexagonal Layout (as you can see) - nothing really new so far (but i really love hexagons, can't tell why) but this is not ordinary Minesweeper, no it's unlimited Minesweeper - and that's what it is: unlimited! You can have every board size you wish .. or as much as your memory can hold to be honest. I admit at the moment it is capped with a maximum of 9999x9999 fields, which is enormous huge.

Here you can see a small video of the game in action:

[YOUTUBE]Ydp76KOFeIc[/YOUTUBE]

Screenshots:

You can scroll, you can zoom (pinch to zoom) and it has Fast Reveal:

If you flaged all bombs around a Number field - just tap the number field and it reveals the adjacent pieces - (like minesweepers know) - so you can just enjoy the game.

There is a free Version available:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rnet.minesweeper.free

It's the whole game, but without autosave (or save at all) and without highscores. No Ads at the moment (because it's xmas) but maybe I will Ads later .. don't know at the moment. (I need food and so, you know :-) )

And there is the full version - which is supposed to support the developer (me) - it has autosave on close/pause and stores local highscores for each board you play.

I wanted to add a global highscore system, but i am not sure what to take, maybe i make one myself or I will implement .. scoreloop maybe? I am just concerned about permissions, I dont want to spoil the gameplay by implementing features which turns the players off :-) But i have to say, that - say scoreloop - truly will have some marketing benefit .. What do you think about it?

Please try my newest game and let me know what you think. The game is ready for all android devices (>=G2) and all screen resolutions - it should perform well, because even in the emulator(!!) it is playable.

PS: I haven't found out if "Minesweeper" is truly a trademark or not .. really, I have no idea .. hopefully noone will sue me (here on my little island) ..
[Android Apps and Games] nyydynasty:
some feedback:

my suggestion is to allow players to mark a flag by long pressing a spot. Having to click the flag on top gets tedious after a while. I would default a short press to 'digging' and long press to a 'flag'. Make it vibrate when a flag is placed so we know when to let go.

just a thought.

regarding scoreloop, I dont care about a global highscore list. Often times, they're littered with cheating scores and never get any attention because of that.
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
there is normaly no need for switching flag/dig mode because if you flagged all bombs around a number, just tap the number to reveal adjacent fields - works perfect and fast ;-) (if you flagged wrong the bomb will revealed of course)

Forgot to vibrate .. will add this in next version ;-)

I was concerned too with cheating the scores .. that's why I consider doing my own highscore server ... because not so popular it would not as fast cheated ..
[Android Apps and Games] androidtdev:
wow. nice game. lv it
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
I love to hear that :-)

Seems to work fine on all devices out there :-)
[Android Apps and Games] nyydynasty:
i hear what you are saying but in that case, you're forcing people to use that method to solve these puzzles. I dont do it that way, never have. I like to mark one or two, then dig a bunch.

just a suggestion, thats all :)
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
If you dont release the finger the game triggers that as scroll mode .. I find that important otherwise it would be possible to accidentally open a field while scrolling ..

Car manufacturers are forcing people also to use the steering wheel instead of turning wheels by hand .. :-) just kidding :-) I will have a thought about it ..

hmm .. at a very first approach in that game I was thinking about a little trigger zone in left bottom corner (like a gamepad) where you can use your your thumb to override .. maybe i implement something like that? so to temporarily switch the current mode as long as your thumb is down.

What do you think of that? Have to implement sort of options then, so user can choose in which corner this zone should be (left/right handed players)
[Android Apps and Games] itsonlym3:
yeah, me too. i'll give a whirl though.
[Android Apps and Games] arezintt:
love minesweeper, plus the new style :D
[Android Apps and Games] reiti.net:
Update v1.1

GOOD NEWS!

First update of Minesweeper: Unlimited! is out.

First of all, now there is some soundfx and also the vibration as suggested :-)

Also, for all guys who dont like the Fast-Reveal Feature, i have implemented a new function which allows you to play fast even u dont want to use fast-reveal:

Take a Look at the all new Thumb-Switcher!

In the (all new) settings-screen - where you also can turn sound and vibrator on or off - you will also find to activate the Thumb-Switcher!

Once activated you got a little zone right where your thumb is - left/right bottom of the screen. If you press it with your thumb you temporarily switch the mode as long as you hold down your thumb!

This way you can use your favorite Mode (Dig/Flag) and just switch it while holding your thumb down.

So, if you like to do digging, just go with dig mode and if you have the opportunity to place a flag, hold down your thumb, place the flag and release the thumb - you are in dig mode again.

I hope this new feature will add a great experience for some users. The update is just uploaded to Market and should be available soon all over the world.

Have Fun!
