[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
As I've said elsewhere, I would be very surprised if code were controlling the charging levels. I would expect this to be a hardware control.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigby2011:
You can use cpu profile, when charges set at low cpu.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
The question remains...

It isn't the low speed, but the fact that it isn't charging/getting enough current to load the battery.

So the battery gets drained even connected to the AC power supply.

Setting a lower cpu speed doesn't really help cos the games begin to stutter.

One even stuttered at full cpu speed.

The fact of the reduced current is even mentioned in the Abyssthread, but not the cause for it.

And I'm not allowed to ask/post in the thread because of the 10-postings-rule.

It's almost similiar to the original car charger not feeding enough current while navigating in the car.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
Yes, the kernel decides the maximum charging current. Would be cool if there was a fast charge kernel a it takes forever!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rigby2011:
Than use different kernel ore older abyss. I think they have higher charge voltage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
make some more posts here - problem solved. :)

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

I still don't think the code (kernel) controls that. If it did, how would it work charging when off, anyway? Logic tells me the physical circuits would do the management, That is normal.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Do you have any evidence or citations for this assertion? Also, without wishing to be rude, do you understand the physics involved? The current is a product of the voltage (fixed) and the resistance (a product of hardware).

BTW

Apparently on the galaxy note 200 mhz is more energy efficient than 100 mhz even though it is clocked higher.

From this thread
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
@dude18

I know this thread, I have read it before. It felt like the Note saved more battery with the 100mHz-step. Maybe the governor had something to do with it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I've gone back to stock kernel with root (and waiting for the official ICS, May 2012?).

The charging problem is still there, even with shown 1000mA (cf-root) and current widget.

For example, I've just installed "Shark Dash", while my battery was showing 15% and a battery warning.

I plugged the original samsung charger in and started the game. After 2 or 3 round I quited the game.

The battery has gone down to 13% and would have gone deeper, if I continued playing.

If you do that, after some amount of time the battery jumps to 100% while on charger,

but after unplugging it falls back down to 15% or less. This can't be good for the battery!

Same behavior with Jelly Defence, which even frooze my Note for 1 minute.

It doesn't depend on the game, but the fact that the Note sucks to much voltage and cannot charge

the battery while using it.

I've searched high and low, and can't believe it's not a bigger issue on our device ( and many other deivces).

I have usb 3.0 ports (spec says 900mA max draw). So I should someway be able to achieve these higher rates of charging...

Is the issue the rezound not asking for more from the USB Host? Or is the issue my usb host driver not giving more?

I'm led to believe it's the rezound...

It can't stream 4g, and play full screen video and at least maintain it's charge off of USB.

I really want to resolve this.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
The Rezound is a USB 2 device. As such, it can't request more than 5 USB 2.0 unit loads (=500 mA). It will draw more from a proper USB charging port.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Someone in another thread turned me on to this cable:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VYBCAY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i02_details

It forces an AC charge on chargers that were showing up as USB (i.e. iphone charger). I imagine it'll do the same thing from any USB port... I believe it shorts the center pins within the cable.

It's sort of an expensive cable... but I plan on getting at least one more. Too many cheap chargers don't give AC, and this phone NEEDS it.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
That's not how USB works (if properly implemented). A USB 2.0 port shouldn't deliver more than 100 mA, unless the attached device enumerates (has an actual USB conversation), in which case it may deliver up to 500 mA. The numbers are a bit higher for USB 3.0, but same concept. That cable (which violates USB specs) makes the phone think it's connected to a charging port. It would work fine with a real USB charger (but isn't a good idea, anyway). It will cause the phone to try and draw more than a USB data port can deliver. If used with a USB device which follows the spec, it will be worse than a regular data cable, and the device will only provide 100 mA. Best case, the phone might charge a bit faster than with a regular USB cable, worst case, you screw up the device you're charging from.

Better to just get a proper charger which follows the spec. You can get an OEM 1A charger through Amazon for like $7, cable included. Why screw around with questionable, non-standard stuff?
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
If this is the case, then I get it.. and I'll ask...

what's taking so long for these devices to be usb 3.0 compliant? it's not like the standard was set yesterday :P

ah well... another year or three i guess!
[HTC Rezound] Chimera111x:
It is because they haven't fully utilized the speeds of USB 2.0 by any means what so ever.

That and USB 3.0 is, in fact, fairly new, and with all new technologies it costs money.

Your $300, or $200 depending on when you bought it, phone would probably be an extra $100 - $200 with USB 3.0 technology, which itself is really only like USB 2.0.1 speeds at best.

Sent from the resounding Rezound
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
USB 2.0 does 480 Mbps "raw," real world, closer to 320Mbps (40 MBps).

That's faster than LTE can provide, and it's faster than a Class 10 SD card, which are the two fastest/most data intensive uses for USB on a phone. There's absolutely no need to add the cost of USB 3.0 to a phone at this time.

Charging when plugged into a PC is a convenience. Use a dedicated USB charger if you want performance. You can get such a charger, either AC or car, for less than $10. There's simply no problem here.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Speed was never what I was interested in, but charging for sure is.

It's convenient, especially when I'm on the go to use my laptop (which has an extended battery) and my phone at the same time (tethering/streaming) and it's nicer if the phone could charge/maintain it's battery level while doing what I need it to do! Even a dedicated charging port on the laptop that can power while the laptop is turned off should be able to give me max charge, so when I plug it in and drive down the road I get a good charge instead of a so so usb charge.

I'm more than willing to pay for this convenience :P I do carry the wall wart charger in my bag too for those times when I do need a fast charge, but it's silly to me that I need to use two plugs at the coffee shop... I suppose I could also carry an ac plug splitter, but yeah, now i'm just carrying more with me!

Edit: case closed though, now I understand why we can't get max charge from usb 3.0 ports, because it's the device specs that are limited. Stay Calm, carry on, I'll live!
[Vibrant General] JustTheHustle:
Is there a way to get the stock aosp launcher in slim ics
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Curious why you want the stock AOSP launcher... It provides no features no settings, and can possibly be slower than one of the launcher apps.

I haven't tried Slim ICS so idk what launcher they use, but I would recommend NOVA LAUNCHER, its pure ICS and if you don't want to change anything you don't have to tons of settings though.
[Vibrant General] joe98200:
Slim uses Zeam by default and IMO it's snappier. I just don't like the options it offers :P
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
oh well then I suggest you try out Nova Launcher if you want a more AOSP launcher along with plenty of features.
[Vibrant General] JustTheHustle:
Idk yet. The script tweaks plus build.prop tweaks and gpu made the launcher run buttery smooth. I want to replicate the galaxy nexus expierence
[Vibrant General] bobshute:
Here's the stock launcher (launcher2.apk). I pulled it from ICZen.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/Launcher2.apk

put it in /system/app and make the permissions rw-r--r-- like the other system apps. reboot. You might have to clear the default setting for Zeam in manage apps and reboot again.
[Vibrant General] JustTheHustle:
Thank you.

[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I think I understand how safestrap works (it installs some kind of hijack to boot /preinstall instead of booting /system) but I have been reading a number of users who have bricked their phone...

I basically have the SafeStrap install screen up, but am hesitant to do this...

Just a few questions before I take the plunge

1) Why are so many users having problems with safesrap? I download the Droid3 version 1.08 for use on my Bell Motorola XT860 4G

2) What exactly does safestrap do in the boot loading sequence? If this is not public knowledge (and might be worked out "against" please, no harm, I'm just wondering, so if I could get an idea as how the hijack works, either in the thread or PM that would help greatly)

3) If you restore the original system and disable the hijack, will that really bring me back to complete original stock? What if they patch the boot partition as they did last time?

Thanks for all your help guys! I know a lot of you have been using custom roms, I really want to load up ICS on here, and it's almost ready for prime-time so I just want to be prepared!
[Motorola Droid 3] PhreighnQ:
First off, I have an XT862 not the XT860. The hijack is a 2nd init hijack. Safestrap does this hijack itself as opposed to with bootstrap where whatever ROM you flash has to do the hijack. Safestrap also as you mentioned uses /preinstall to store /system of the ROM you flash. This means that nothing other than safestrap itself touches your stock /system. This allows safestrap to protect itself so you can always get back to recovery even if there is a bad flash it can't overwrite the hijack and recovery so you can try again.

I also don't remember seeing much of problems with safestrap itself other than a partition size problem. I think I remember seeing that some update took care of that problem. I have seen people having more problems with ROMs on the XT860 than other versions of the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
First off, the most common problem I have seen people have with safestrap is not understanding what it does and even more common is not knowing how to use it, basically a lot of user error. The previous poster summed up pretty well how it works. Finally, uninstalling safestrap will NOT bring you back to original stock, it will remove itself and the secondary ROM it allowed you to install. Since you have to be rooted to even install it, if you uninstall it you will still be rooted, not stock.

Just so you are clear, you can have whatever ROM you want on your phone BEFORE installing Safestrap and this will become the Safe system by default. You will no longer be able to change this ROM as long as Safestrap is installed. Instead, it allows you to put another ROM, basically a dual-boot, in addition to the original rom you have. Now you have a Safe system and a Non safe system. The Non safe system is the only one Safestrap will allow you to change (and brick for that matter). So if/when you install a ROM that boot loops or crashes, you simply can revert back to your safe system and now your phone works again, neat huh?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
AFAIK, he does have the XT860, since the XT862 is the Verizon Droid 3 (3G, not Bell Canada 4G). Also, using it on my 862, I have not been able to brick it. If flashing the experimental system fails, you can just reboot into the Safestrap menu and flash something new. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the 860, as all it does it modify the booting. Any issues would most likely be caused by a ROM flashing issue, not safestrap.
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
I took the plunge this afternoon... Installed SafeStrap and CM9 nightly on my device... Not sure if everything is working just yet, but will be doing testing throughout the day :)

No problems were reported with the installation or instructions, so that's great. Thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid 3] Thiago AmP:
I'm using a XT860 (Brazilian Vivo, but I'm not sure if it's 4G - LTE - compatible, I know that it works with 3.5G).

I have Safestrap 3.0.5 installed and I'm using all the 4 slots (MavROM, Minimoto, CM9 e CM10). All of then runs well (with their particular issues), none of them caused any trouble on the phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Same here. I'm using it on a Brazilian TIM, no problems at all. I have two active slots( Stock, Gummy 0.90) and two for testing.

It is in fact the best recovery that I've used, so far.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
None of the d3 variants are LTE capable
[Motorola Droid 3] Thiago AmP:
Yeah, I realize that before reviewing its radio specs.

@Munckster

Actually, after trying to acess a SD Card partition with Link2SD, I lost acess to Recovery. I'm stuck on the stock ROM (root keeps on, but SafeStrap 3.05 doesn't work).

Installed Titanium Backup to keep my data safe, but it isn't working too. I'm going to reinstall it later.

I'm afraid that I'll have to uninstall all my root apps, unroot the phone and do all the process again...

I'm very newbie at linux and Android and I'm doing all that by reading (a lot). I'd apreciate if someone could tell how to deal with this problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Try shutting the phone off and powering up while holding m, then using vol down select bp tools from the list that appears, and confirm with vol up.
[Motorola Droid 3] Thiago AmP:
I've already tried it, but without success... I'll keep searching what to do in this situation...
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Unrooting seems like overkill. If you are "stuck" on stock, I would just start the Safestrap app. Click the button to uninstall recovery and restart the phone. Then open Safestrap again, click the button to install recovery, and restart the phone. Hopefully the Safestrap menu will show and you can then activate recovery.

So long as you do not erase anything on the internal storage, your slots should still be there.
[Motorola Droid 3] Thiago AmP:
I've tried it several times before I came with the idea of unroot my phone and redo the process. Here is my dicoveries http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2082292

I know that it's obvious, but I guess that just few people knew that it would work.
[Motorola Droid 3] guyland123:
SafeStrap problems

Odd problem, I can't get the menu button to work. In order to get back to my "safe" rom I have to start safestrap,and select uninstall recovery.

Then reboot, and it will bring up my "Safe" rom. If I then go back to SafeStrap, and re-install the recovery, and reboot, it will again bring up SafeStrap, but if I hit Menu, it doesnt' bring up any options it again boots up my non-safe ROM (minimoto 1.6)

Anyone have any ideas...I guess I can try to remove the safestrap directory on the sdcard after I uninstall the recover, and then try to reinstall the App, and try all over again?

Just developed this method (had nothing better to do :P) ,but requires root acess.

DO NOT WORK WITH ALL APPS

1-Download Astro file manager and rom toolbox from market (google play store).

2-Put the app in an empty folder at your SdCard.

3-Exctract it (to that folder, of course :o)

4-At rom toolbox, select "build.prop editor" option, and change both "ro.prodduct.cpu.abi" lines from "armeabi-v6l" to "armeabi-v7l" and change both "ro.product.brand" and "ro.product.manufacturer" lines to "LGE" and after this, change the "ro.product.model" line to "LG-P970" , press menu button and select reboot option.

5-Download the correct armv6 lib file of your game (google it) anf go to astro file manager (to the: folder of the extracted game) and go to lib/armeabi-v7l/ and delete the file if was here, now get the downloaded lib file, put it here and rename it to the name of the file you'v been deleted. Now get "multi" option and select all extracted files and select "zip", and wait it complete, after this rename the .zip file to .apk file, install and play!

yep, i am brazilian and i developed this method! (had nothing better to do)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The jig doesn't work miracles, no. It has limited usefulness, primarily for things like getting into download mode when the hardware button combos don't work, or for resetting the counter, and Samsung curtailed much of that usefulness with the ICS bootloader, which doesn't allow the counter to be reset.
