[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 7hr08ik:
I got my awesome shiny new XPS yesterday. I am very pleased with it.

But today i began looking at tweaking and customizing it.....but i have noticed something quite disturbing.....

The phone doesnt seem to have both cores active!!!

When i check in "SystemPanel" it shows the list of 2 cores but only shows 1 as active......so i checked with "CPU Usage Monitor" and that lists the phone as only having 1 core?!?!

Is there a geek out there that can help me with this issue?

Is it me being a twot...or is there something that i dont know about?

From what i can tell the second core doesnt come on during gaming or benching.....

Im lost
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Could you run benchmark quadrant and post your score here with a screen shot?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
You wont see the second core active unless it's needed, when you're looking at the usage windows the mobile doesn't need to use the second core.

Run something like titanium backup as it's a background process at the same time as the usage monitor app.

-smc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 7hr08ik:
so the second core doesnt kick in till its needed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] awf:
Yep thats why I asked you to run the benchmark tool ;-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Adellheid:
I have heard a couple of times around the forum that second core is actually underlocked heavily and doesn't kick in even if needed. Is that true?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Nope. Where did you hear this rubbish?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Trevor Chuah:
2nd Core does work!!!

I had tested on 2nd Core by using Quadrant Standard...

(I installed SystemPanel Lite to check for CPU)

While the full benchmark is running, long press the home button and then open SystemPanel Lite,

I can see both cores are running fully...

This shows that the 2nd core does work!!!:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GT35pro:
Gingerbread does not fully utilize both cores. Some apps do. Honeycomb does have dual core support and ics should have proper multicore support.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
it's like windows XP and windows vista/7

XP wasn't designed for dualcores but vista and 7 are.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] oANUBISo:
Yeah like the other guys said, people go on about quad cores and stuff, some phones including the Xperia S aren't even using dual cores let alone quad cores unless they are running ICS, when ICS hits then we will.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ctarys:
So I downgraded to .32-kernel, because I realized it works way more better than .35(better signals and batterylife). But still my battery drains like 10% in about 2 hours, without doing anything. This came up with eliterom 9.7, but cm7.2 also drains battery pretty lot. Miui is the only one I haven't tested, and I'm soon about to. But I'm asking, which .32-rom would have best batterylife and with wich rom and what governor- and i/o-schedule-settings? thanks! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Don't worry too much, just enjoy!

Hey!

I think the ROM with the best battery life would be either Oxygen or MIUI, but probably oxygen. You should try it, it's very stable, clean gingerbread, and it looks gorgeous with the ICS theme.

On the other hand, I'm getting a pretty good battery life with 9.7 Elite (from 8, 9h until 22, 23h, with moderate usage (a few sms's, moderate wifi usage, music) I still have around 30, 40% left). Using wifi, gps, 3G, etc. only when necessary might help, as well as using the app killer every once in a while (so you don't have a bunch of stuff running in the background and draining your battery), using automatic brightness...oh and about governor and scheduler I personally use smartassV2 and deadline (respectively), and my battery lifetime is the described above.

Also, try not to worry too much about battery drains, lower benchmark scores...I'm saying it because I did that when I bought the device...as long as it lasts the whole day and does what you want it to do, just enjoy your phone ;).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] triesvan:
the combination of CM7&Franco kernel also worked for me, i could use the phone upto 2 days.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
Oxygen is better than others BUT I'm still getting 2 days with aurora ICS but I uninstalled facebook. Facebook drains so fast (literally fast, very fast). I'm using 800-300 mhz with ondemand and noop. I'm using apex. auto brightness. messaging so much but not talking much. sometimes surf on app market, sometimes play some games or every morning and night listen radio for 1 hour and battery goes for 36 hours. It's about your way to use the phone. but if I were u I would use oxygen or aurora ICS. both of them are good.

just install apex launcher or nova launcher from the market if you want to get a bit more of an ics feel.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] w00tnezz:
Right now, we're without bluetooth capabilities.

Can any of the devs point me (or whomever may else be interested) in the right direction to look for the key or ID that is needed to enable/start bluetooth?

I am willing to do the searching and grind if I can be pointed in the right direction, if any direction can be given.

Using my PS3 controller or similar BT controller with the NT would be amazing! SNES, PSX, Genesis games... ohmygawd. I'd never be bored again. (:

Thank you in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
The bluetooth is included, as is FM radio, on the wifi chip I believe. That is a TI chip if I'm not mistaken.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] w00tnezz:
Yes, but I thought there was something missing in the files to which the bluetooth cannot be activated. It was an ID reference or.. idk, something to that effect -- A serial number or key? Maybe I am terribly mistaken.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeadlyFoez:
I hope that bluetooth does eventually get enabled. I don't care about FM at all, but having bluetooth will open up the possibilities so much more.

Heck, just being able to play SNES9X with my wiimote while out and on the road would make my nook experience complete.

Anyone know why B&N would opt out of adding the software for it in when they included the hardware? It seems like it would be a great selling point for the device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] w00tnezz:
Okay, so scouring through the various threads, we're missing the "GPIO pin # for .nshutdown".

As I stated before, if there is anyone who can point me in the right direction, I would gladly be a slave to the grind to get this working.

Getting the bluetooth working is 100% on my radar and list of things to do. (:

thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wwwdrich:
Remember that the BT chip doesn't have an antenna on it (supposedly), so even if you do get it working it is likely going to have a signal range measured in inches.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tel864:
If you're referring to the bluetooth range, then I would think it would be as good as the Nook color which had pretty good range for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] critofur:
What can I, or anybody else do, to help get Bluetooth working on the Nook Tablet faster?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] myl0h:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] ARVolutionz:
just google for "Move2SD Enabler". On the Play Store it will say not compatible, so just look for it on other place. It works perfectly on my phone, DXLB1, and below DXLB1 (i forget what it is). it only needs root access.

it moves the apps to .android_secure on SDCard (according to my dad)! so do not delete the folder even its empty when you open it.
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
So HTC have announced that the ICS update will be rolling out from today onwards... Those of you here who have rooted your phones and installed a custom ROM etc... will you be de-rooting and going for the official release or not?

I won't myself, just wanted to know what the general thoughs/feelings were.

T-L-H
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Already got it, but good to know for anyone on stock who's waiting for it
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Hurrah, some good news! I'll give it a try after work. Let's hear from the folks that got the update today. I take it that it's for both the standard Sensation and the XE?
[HTC Sensation] Gigell:
I can't see it yet. Do you have a link to the anouncement ?
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm running ARHD so I'm using ICS already myself but for those of you who aren't.

Guys, it's not gonna go out to everyone at once as it'll drown the OTA servers. Have some patience!! :D

Also bear in mind that the Blog post by HTC mentions NO time frame other than 'end of March' so that doesn't mean today in my book

[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
Why would someone want to unroot and return to stock (even if it's ics) when custom roms are much faster, bloatware free, have better battery life and are more customizable?
[HTC Sensation] BobKatz:
What I think happened is:

- HTC starts rolling out ICS to the Nordic countries to beat Samsung.

- The update isn’t perfect but their names up all over the internet stating they’re rolling it out.

- Samsung starts rolling out a decent ICS, it’s all over the net people reviewing and comparing. HTC falls off the radar

- HTC are fixing the know issues of the Nordic role out, but don’t want to be forgotten about.

- HTC release a statement that they’re rolling out ICS to 16 handsets and to Sensation in the next few weeks. Not new news.

- But they’re back all over the internet being quoted and knocking Samsung off again

- And we all carry on still sitting and waiting
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
XE updates are in the UK now, so your first 2 points are null and void

HTC are rolling it out but, as with most updates, you have to wait - please have some patience. If you don't have any, S-OFF and flash it manually then go back to S-ON
[HTC Sensation] BobKatz:
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to wait. My point is that HTC re-release statements regarding rollout of ICS to get themselves back on all the techie websites.

Also regarding the role out to the UK reading the posts it’s still only you that seems to have got it and as I can only assume by your posts your signed up to Elevate, maybe you’re getting via that.

Alternatively with all the time you can spend helping people, which is most appreciated, maybe you work in the industry and have some inside info.
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
As we have discussesed S-ON back is not needed as far as I understood ..
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
No it's not but what I was saying is if people are 100% stock and don't have the patience to wait for the rollout the can S-OFF, flash it and go back to S-ON again

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

I don't have an XE though, I flashed the RUU to see if it was being pushed as there is another large thread that the XE update is going out in the UK (see HERE)

when I flashed the 1.50.401.1 RUU I don't get the update pushed to me so I flashed it manually
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
ok .. just to check if there were some new findings about it I've missed. So stay tuned and wait for ?.7? version ?today? (it is Thursday = common release day for HTC) :)
[HTC Sensation] minibeast_phone:
Hope your Thursday prediction proves true and we see some more action.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Nothing is coming yet as the Mods on Elevate are asking for spelling/grammar mistakes to be fixed in the next patch - they're not fixing anything function-wise as yet
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
It could mean two things: Either they have done some functional patches and now finishing text resources before release or it means that they now just collecting errors to prepare something bigger in the next week. We will see today/tomorrow morning.. They should have stable base to release and continue with another terminals before final big spread (or they will come into indefinite loop of unstable firmware, correction and OTA distribution process).

E:Error in /sdcard/overclocked_kernel_v1.20_1728_Mhz_by_SebastianFM.zip (status 7) installation aborted.

I wiped Dalvik cache and chache partition but none of this seems to work.

i tried different kernels and tried re-downloading and flashing but nothing seems to work.

any idea what i'm doing wrong or what i'm not seeing??
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Just giving this thread a bump, nobody got an answer to this?

Sorry no, but would like one. :confused:

Exactly the same here. I have mentioned it in a couple of threads including SebastianFM's but nobody responded. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Yeah is saw, i also mentioned it in Sebastian's thread. I read somewhere that it's possibly something abou the root but i can't figure out what, I'm rooted with up to date su binaries. No matter what i do, i alway get the same message.

A couple of days ago i flashed ARHD to trie the kernel and then it just worked. Very strange
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
why don't you install 4ext? it is the best and has no errors...try that one and tell me if the error persists
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Will try that tomorow, I'll let you know
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Right, i was to curious to wait till tomorow so i just flashed EXT4. I tried to flash the kernel and guess what happened? Exactly the same error appeard!!

I had good hope that this would be the sollution, unfortunately we have to look further.
[HTC Sensation] Cowboy2199:
Here's a suggestion

I know when I flash in 4EXT I have to mount everything by going into

mounts | storage -> Mount /data and /system and make sure /cache is mounted. Then back out and flash the kernel you are trying.. See if that works.
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Thanks! Will try that, i'll let you know the result
[HTC Sensation] akos.szekacs:
How did you unlocked your device?

If the htcdev unlock method was used, than you can not flash boot.img since it is still locked.

I unlocked it in the early beginnings via Revolutionary, since then stil S-OFF, also never been S-ON again since then. I'm thinking of trying another kernel, "Bricked" or something like that, just to see if that one will flash.

Just wondering, could it have something to do with the H-Boot version? I now have 1.27.0000. Should i get 1.27.1111 to flash the kernel?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RavenY2K3:
That's really odd, when you flashed the ROM again, was it in CWM or a stock Odin? If you haven't tried the latter, I'd give that a go, you can get the stock ROMs from SamFirmware.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KonstantinKeller:
Look through the app drawer, is there perhaps an app named "Factory Mode"?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] haidharbbc:
yes..there is an app named factory mode..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KonstantinKeller:
Factory Mode is a mode that Samsung uses to do maintenance on the tab. You can't leave it yourself.. You have to send it to Samsung. They don't give out the codes to quit out of Factory Mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] haidharbbc:
sorry..i don't quite understand the situation you are saying..:eek:can you explained to me briefly??:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
I've got the factory mode app too, but have never had any problems.

Just by it being there don't mean it's been placed into factory mode, nor would I ever dare run the app, just leave it alone.

Just because it's there doesn't point to being stuck in factory mode and the tab needing sent in for repair. There would be more issues than not being able to lock the screen if that was the case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RavenY2K3:
Thats pretty much the main resource (aside from KIES, I suppose), I know it sounds weird, but you know after you wipe the device and you get presented with the setup wizard, have you gone through it without adding the Google account details, so it doesn't download the settings n stuff through the back up/restoration part.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KonstantinKeller:
Theres alot of reports saying that people have factory mode and cannot lock the screen. Have you recently sent the tab in for repair?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] haidharbbc:
i've run the app..in my end, its just an ordinary calculator
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] haidharbbc:
yes..at the first time i run after i flashed, i skip the adding google account part..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] haidharbbc:
no..i never sent for any repair..as this is my first time encountering problem with this device
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] KonstantinKeller:
It SEEMS like an ordinary calculator, but its not. It's an app Sammy uses to do stuff with your tablet. Best bet is to send an email or a tweet to @SamsungSupport or to @GalaxySsupport
