Ditto to the above, what works for me is using wireless hotspot app. I have my Epic 4g running a custom ROM called CleanGB http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344074 and it includes a 'custom' WireLess Hotspot that I leave running so my wife's Galaxy Player 5 can jump on my 3G/4G via WiFi. (don't get me going though on the slug and almost non-existent Sprint 4G)

Find it interesting (and frustrating) that Barnacle calls itself a ' WiFi tether' but is actually a wireless hotspot. Tether in cell phone speak has always implied a wired connection between your phone and another device. Hope those lines don't start blurring. :rolleyes:

Best tethering (phone to computer via USB cable) IMHO is hands down PDANet from a company called June Fabrics. It works seemlessly in Windows XP and Windows 7. Even if your provider charges you to use tethering via their Android or Blackberry app, PDANet can hide the data connection.... They also make one for the Mac OSx environment I believe.

HTH :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliano_q:
Hi guys,

Since the AOSP ICS builds I noticed that when the Phone app is not in memory it opens very slow. The next time you open it is almost instant. I thought that it would be fixed in the OTA, and even if it is a little faster it is still quite frustrating sometimes. Tried many roms/kernels and even if in some configurations it open faster, it is still slow.

Since I dont use the Phone that much, almost every time that I use it it is not in the memory and it is slow. Anyone has an idea to fix it, like a hack to make it persistent in the memory?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioan:
Bump. Is there a way to keep it in memory ? Maybe giving it a special permission like the launcher will help. I will take a look...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benny145:
This is my only problem with ICS - I've tried a few memory management programs to see if I could keep the dialer, or contacts, persistent in memory, but nothing works. When I launch the dialer, the application 'Contacts' ('com.android.contacts', which seems to be the new ICS 'People' app) is shown as an 'active application' in my 'SystemPanel' app off the Market, and as long as that stays as an active app then the dialer usually re-launches straight away when pressed the next time, sometimes with only a small bit of lag if the screen has been of for a minute or two. When the 'contacts' app is shut down by the system, I guess when you open other apps up that need memory, the dialer lags again.

All the time, the process 'Phone' ('com.android.phone') seem to be sitting there as an 'Internal System Process' and seems to be persistent, but that alone doesn't make the dialer launch quickly, the 'contacts' app needs to be active as well.

My observations, but I am not a techie.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jin5:
actually i recently read a thread here on XDA that addressed this issue. it involved a command on the terminal that allowed you to prioritize certain apps. too bad i can't seem to find that thread anymore!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jin5:
found it! it involves using the Renice command. you can run it as an init.d script

or demo it out using the prioritzer apk (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1224125) kind thanks to this developer for creating the app. it works great!

all i did, was set the phone and contact app to -20 priority. it loads MUCH faster... try it and report back.

Great, thanks for coming back on this, this sounds interesting - I'm not rooted at the moment, I will look into doing this as I think it would be worth it just to sort out this problem, as well as the other benefits. I will report back with my results!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benny145:
I decided not to root in order to fix this, I've gone a different way with the dialer - exDialer has a polished looking ICS theme and I installed that to see how it would work, and it works great. It opens up consistently quicker, maybe due to the 'Keep in Memory' option that it has. I haven't had one laggy episode with it yet. Most other third party dialers don't look so good but this has a great ICS look, has smart dial, and a great call history function, and it's free (or you can donate as I did). Worth a look for anyone having similar problems.

I would still go back to the stock dialer if it worked properly, maybe a future update will solve this without having to root.

Got it through sprint as Galaxy SII. Well I google that and it does NOT look like my phone. My phone looks more like the "Epic 4G Touch". Then I thought that just MAYBE they are the same phone.

BUT

What makes things more confusing is that there are different forums here for each phone, and I am not sure if I should be looking at the Galaxy SII forums OR Epic 4g Touch!?

As some of you might know, the HTC Desire S overclocks very well.

I've done alot of research, and I've found no difference between the MSM8255 chipset our Desire S runs on, and the higher clocked MSM8255T (which runs at 1.4-1.5GHz).

I've created this topic to gather some information on what method you use to over/underclock (built-in, custom, app etc), how high you've clocked your device, what governor you're using, and what temperature you're at.

Right now my Desire S runs at 1.4GHz, incredibly stable, ive stress tested for hours (so far) without any errors, maxing at bout 36,5c temp.

My current method is SetCPU, using 245-1401 interactive scaling.

Please post your findings / preferences / device settings.
[HTC Desire S] Darky135:
I never overclocked my Desire S. Ok sometimes he can be slow, but I don't like overclocking a CPU of a smartphone... Maybe it's because I'm scared to blow him up or something, dunno. I just leave it like it was, in my eyes, the best thing you can do :)
[HTC Desire S] TooByAas:
I'm using OC/UV Beater2 which came in Endymion ROM. My DS is overclocked to 1,2 Ghz and it is very stable, never freezes ;)

But I have a question, what is default undervolt settings? Because I think when I set for example -25 undervolt settings, that will come default setting after a while..

So I dont know what is default voltage... So if someone could tell what is though 122Mhz voltage, I would be happy!

Same CPU 'issue' with the Arc and Arc S ->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396071

That pretty much sums it up, why the Desire S (some - mine?) overclocks so well..

Same thing they do with desktop CPUs.

Like my old C2D E6600 2.4GHz OCs to 3.4GHz without adding volts and running only on air cooling, 48c after 10-12hrs of stress testing with SLI nvidia cards in the case.

All in all, the MSM8255 and MSM8255T could easily be the exact same chipset/CPU, just at different speeds, some tested more extensively than others.

Has anyone tried running speeds above 1.5GHz+ successfully? 1.5GHz should also be doable, as the HTC Flyer has the MSM8255T and runs at 1.5GHz.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah!

Many thanks for that mate!

Been looking and couldn't find much info too!

Yeah, i guess the T stands for being tested more.

My Desire OC's very well. I can go to 1.8Ghz stable for very long.

(I don't usually OC though.)

Do you use setcpu? Can i use it also on latest stock cm7. 1 for desire s? Or is tiamat necessary? I'm mainly interested in undervolting -> better battery life.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Hi there,

Yes I use setcpu. Tiamat kernel is Undervolted by default which is good.

I'm my experience, I'm getting much better battery life with Tiamat kernel.

Are you on the nightly build or the stable version? I heard a few issues with tiamat on nightly builds, but not too sure!

Also a small note; undervolting doesn't help massively with battery life... the battery gain is minimal. On sense based ROMs, I UV by about 125V and it doesn't make a HUGE difference.

I think tiamat has really good battery llife as it has been exclusively optimised for our 8255 CPU by the brialliant Devs :)

Hope this has been some help to you!

I'm on latest nighly, which doesn't work with tiamat 1.1.5 (no sound). Nightly fixed some bugs which were crucial for me, so no way going back to stable.

Reason i'm asking: on lowveld's hyperions i got 8-9mA consumption while idle, on CM i'm always at 10-15. The min freq on both is 245mHz, which was suggested as lowest stable so the next difference i thought could be the undervolting... From battery stats i see that phone was not awake...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
What bug fixes did the nightlies bring? Please share! :)

Hmmm... I guess you could just wait for CM 7.2, I think its coming very soon with the bug fixes, so I guess you could go back to stable from there, and use Tiamat.

My lowest CPU clockspeed is 184Mhz on CM (122Mhz on Endymion)

Its very stable for me. No freezes, etc

I use smartass2, so it will throttle up the speed in sleep if 184mhz is too low. When it has many tasks to load etc.

Not to sure how to Manually UV with CM, (as OC beater doesn't work - FC on me)

But on Endymion, OC beater app does the job.

Side note: on sense, i could OC easily to 1.5ghz, possbily more! And it was very stable.

Yes, that should be fine. You can also try overvolting.

A min freq of 768 is going to chew up your battery pretty quick and heat it up too... consider setting it to 245 or in the 300's
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
The reason i set it to that high was because i was experiencing some problem when i am talking on the phone, either i can't hear the other person or there is a bad buzz.

Sorry but i dun really understand when i read the post, but what does the min and max does??
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It just sets the minimum and maximum frequency that the CPU will run at, depending on the processing load... When the phone has only light work to do, it will try to do so at the least possible frequency thereby saving battery. When the processing demand is increased, like in games or some apps, the CPU will run at a higher frequency limited by the maximum frequency allowed in your settings. Of course how it does all this is dictated by the governor you choose...
