I couldn't check this yet. On my old phone (HTC desire) the battery "driver" showed the current (mA) with dmesg. This was a great way to check the effects of stuff like undervolting (which is pretty useless -> see here.)

Since i only get the mAh and mV Values on dmesg i installed a battey app, which calculates the consumption based on the changes of the mAh values. I got that app running over night with wifi lock in low perf mode. I switched the widget on some minutes ago and let my phone run in idle mode. Ill report about the values meassured later.

From what ive read about power saving mode, is, that is very effective and wifi on low perf mode is pretty close to wifi switched off. Well, we'll see...

Actually its not that bad if most devs don't know. Careless use of those function causes an unnecessary power drain (see also this article). On a phone with real multitasking (not like this apple ****) every single app can call stuff like wifi lock (if the app gets the permission on install - most users don't even read them). I checked the reference page about wifi lock itself and those options arent mentioned there. I guess they do it for a reason. A "good dev" will found out by reading the complete documentation about wifi manager and a "bad dev" wont use that function unnecessary if it is not needed.

I'll check how well this power saving mode works, but i think it will have a noticeable effect. Its good that the high perf mode is a bit hidden in the documentation. That way the efforts to save power wont be prevented by poorly coded apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melethron:
Ok after a quick test, the effect is quite noticeable. With quite some background stuff running and Wifi on "low performance" the battery drops around 1,5% per hour. Same stuff running but with "high performance" mode i get about 2% per hour.

But there where quite some "fluctuations". Even on High Performance mode i had a drop of only 0,7% per hour for half an hour. This was also the lowest value in low Performance mode. There are many coefficients (apps syncing etc) adding to battery consumption. To get a good calculation of the actual values one has to gather a large amount of data, and has to "averaging out" those other coefficients.

On my average usage behaviour my battery holds at least for a day and i plug my phone in in the evening. So this doesn't really concern me. But if someone is a "power saving enthusiast" he should definitely only switch "high performance" mode on, if he absolutly needs it. Although the real difference between the modes is surely lower than my estimated 0,5% per hour there is a noticeable effect to be found for sure, if examined "properly".

BTW: I wrote to the dev of that Power widget, if he can implement the feature to switch off "high perf" mode automatically, if the phone has no connection to an AP. He already thought about this, and even plans to include some kind of "white list" so that "high perf" mode is only enabled if the phone is connected to some predefined AP. I'd appreciate this, since i only need that mode when i'm at home, when i have "samba filesharing" running on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I tried to automate the widget to turn on only when a call comes in so it can maintain a strong connection for voip, but the app I used, Llama, won't allow you trigger widgets, just apps or shortcuts.

I really only need performance mode for voip. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melethron:
You should write to dev off the VOIP app.

I dont know a way to do enable High_perf through console or script and i cant code an app for that. Anyway this would be no real solutions anyway, but only workarounds. The VOIP app should be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Several VoIP apps have the feature built in, but I find them to be very combersom and unreliable. I'm using the stock sip client and although it's reliable, it offers no settings for tweaking anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melethron:
Now that is strange, because from what i see from the Android source the build in SIP does use the FULL_PERF lock on calls by default. See here

When audio is establieshed on a call it does:

if (isWifiOn()) grabWifiHighPerfLock();.

So if wifi is on while a call is established it does:

private void grabWifiHighPerfLock() {
if (mWifiHighPerfLock == null) {
Log.v(TAG, "acquire wifi high perf lock");
mWifiHighPerfLock = ((WifiManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE))
.createWifiLock(WifiManager.[COLOR="Red"]WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF[/COLOR], TAG);
[COLOR="Red"] mWifiHighPerfLock.acquire[/COLOR]();
}

}

Which sets wifi in High perf mode as it should and is disabled after the call:

private void [More ...] stopCall(boolean releaseSocket) {
Log.d(TAG, "stop audiocall");
[COLOR="Red"]releaseWifiHighPerfLock[/COLOR]();

Are you sure the widget did change anything in the behaviour. Stuttering could have other reasons like poor connection or something. From what i see the widget shouldnt do anything that the build in SIP doesnt already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I haven't been on too many calls today, but it is a known problem that VoIP quality goes to hell when the screen is off and I've experienced the problem several times with the built-in sip. If it's already going into high perf mode, it's not doing right. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinkXDA:
FWIW, I haven’t experienced these issues—and all I do is VoIP calls because I get poor cellular signal in my apartment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melethron:
Well if it is not Wifi it could still be a different power management issue. For example one cpu of the 2 cpus is most likely off while screen is off. To avoid this devs can use "wake lock" which is pretty similar to wifi lock. (See android power management). You could try any app that can enable "wake lock". I know that Terminal Emulator does use PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK which should be just what you need. You can use that app to test it. Just use "take wake lock" from the menu and let the app running. But be warned, this will effect power consumption. So just use that to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
You could be right. I'm assuming it's the wifi going into low power mode when the screen is off, but it could be the CPUs just clocking down or shutting off altogether.

Have a look at the troubleshooting section in this VoIP thread. I'm not sure what causes it for some and not others... Maybe custom ROMS? Kernels?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jawsoftware:
Hi there,

I want to have my GNote to send all audio over bluetooth to my car (new Alfa Giulietta) which has the Fiat Blue&Me system.

The phone and car are connected and I can do phonecalls within the car, so this

setup works.

I've found a programm called BTMono which should work, but not with my setup.

If I switchon BTMono, the phone becomes quiet ut there i no sound from the car stereo.

Somebody else has done it with blue&me, and he gets a unknown phone call

in his car-screen when he redirects the audio (hesh.am/2012/04/stream-audio-from-an-android-phone-to-a-fiat-equipped-with-blue-me-via-bluetooth/)

I think the car must think that it's an actual phonecall, so the phone must send the proper commandos to the car.

Does anyone have any suggestion on this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] sighted:
same here

It happens the same thing here. GM Cruze LTZ. Wouldn't it be that BT on it wouldn't be able to stream audio, just phone calls?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jawsoftware:
Normally it would

Normally it would, but with apps like BTMono it should be possible to stream audio to a bluetooth headset or carkit like the Parrot.

So I thought that blue&me could work for me also, but it doesn't
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] filking:
Hi,

Right, my A100 kept failing on auto update to new ICS with update failed. No ideas why so I manually updated using the update.zip method to ver 1.012. All working fine on ICS. :)

My two questions are :-

1) Is there a very easy way to update to ver 1.014 without losing anything on the tablet?

2) rooting. well, i'm following the method by zeronull (full root for a100 ics simple method) and it keeps failing at waiting for device. (the daemon method).

The tablet is accesible from windows fine so cables/drivers fine. The driver version is ver 1.000 as from acer website. I've followed all of the tips on the thread in developers forum. so....... :confused:

My tab details are :

Android - 4.0.3

Kernel - 2.6.39.4+

Image Version - Acer_AV041_A100_RV01RC01_WW_GEN1

Build number - Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1

Image P/N - FM.S18A0.00D

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
Download the stock ROM 1.014 from development section.

The method is the same (just put update.zip on the external_sd card), if you don't make factory data reset you will not loose your information.

For the rooting ... do you have 'check' on USB debugging?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] filking:
yes, usb debugging is checked. (it sets it to that automatically tho)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] filking:
ok, updated to version 1.014 all fine.

Now when I run 'runit-win' for ICS rooting i get :-

waiting for connect device

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

*daemon started successfully*

Thats it..... now nothing.....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
It's nothing because,the adb still waiting for device.Go through cmd to the ICS_rooting folder (from where you execute install-win.bat) and type : adb devices - You must see some number,if not you don't have the correct drivers or don't have USB debugging selected in settings.

Send from my A100
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] filking:
went thru cmd, the adb shows no devices at all.

debugging is def on. The drivers I am using are the ones from the uk and us acer site. redownloaded them and checked update drivers and the comp says the current driver is the latest.

But looking at the device when plugged in it says under driver details :-

Driver Provider - microsoft

driver date - 21/06/2006

Driver Version - 6.1.7600.16385

Now, assuming this is the wrong driver (it's the microsoft windows one), when i try to update driver it says the one i'm using is the best. Tried uninstall tablet, plug it back in, it automatically picks the windows one. grrr

I'm on Win 7 but also tried on vista.

Sorry for being a pain
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mr.miketastic:

I seem to be losing space on my SD Card. I delete stuff but I don't see the space being freed up.

If I use WinDirStat it tells me that the SD card is using 18.8GB of space, but is only showing 1.4GB of free space. If i run a check on the card I get this:

I don't understand where the free space is going. Any help please? I seem to be missing about 5GB of space. I'm running ARHD 3.1.0.

After reading about others with the same problem, I copied the data off the sdcard, reformatted, copied the data back and now all the correct free space is there.

If you have a 1440x1280 image then you can upload it to an image host, go to your phones browser, go to the link of the hosted image, long press -> set as wallpaper.

Good for when you don't need to crop.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caster62003:
Why would you want to back it up onto a device that if it fails you lose the contacts perminantly? CM7 by default backs up all contacts to your Google account, therefore making it that you can then get another phone, toss in your Google creds and your contacts are automatically downloaded, no need to be concerned about copying them from a SIM and making sure they were imported properly. If you must have your contacts on your SIM, try one of the three apps maajstor recommended.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarekboukaf:
google account? means internet? means not 100% available! exporting to sim card is an elementary task; and you will say if the sim goes wrong? or damaged? lost? yes, thats right, but at least no need to connect to import them, its a very basic function to export contacts to sim card, even the dinosaur nokia 3310 have this stuff! well, never mind, thanks for yr reply a appreciate a lot !

Ok here's the deal, I have one of the rare, flawless h1x phones (aside from overheating and average battery life) and I am contemplating sending it back to amazon as I have one day to make my mind up. If I send it back I will get my full refund for 489.99 and I will buy the galaxy s3, and if I realise that I prefer the h1x I will return the s3 and be able to buy the h1x again for the lowered 449.99 price.

What do you guys think? I would seriously appreciate all of your opinions, many thanks!
[HTC One X] telc:
Hey dude,

I would possibly send it back, get the full refund and wait till may the 3rd for the S3 and then compare them.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
You sound as if you want the SGS3, go ahead :)

I won't be getting the SGS3 this time round, as I love the HOX and it will only get better SW side.

The build, the looks, sense, the screen etc are all good. I'll take SLCD2 over AMOLED now as my previous SGS2 10 months down the line started getting noticeable screen burn.

I'll most likely skip the SGS3 and wait for the Note 2 as that is Samsung's top line now. Sure the SGS3 will be good but the One X is a big improvement compared to HTC's past devices. It's gorgeous! Maybe if maybe the SGS3 has Wolfson I may get it as I don't like carrying multiple devices, I carry my SGS purely for music.
[HTC One X] UnixxinU:
Thanks for the long reply! I was just wondering if you could kindly explain to me the advantages and disadvantages of the display which will be on the s3, also when do you think the note 2 will be released? I'm just not happy with the overheating and battery life on the h1x :(
[HTC One X] xnostra:
amoled is not good dark colors especially black.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Just read up SAMOLED, sure the SGS3 will be using the super duper amoled with HD plus or whatever they will call it.

Not all are prone to screen burn, but I've got an SGS which has screen burn, and my SGS2 started having screen burn on the notification area 10 months down the line, you have to use dark backgrounds most of the times and not use it for extended amounts of time.

Samsung use the S variant as in Super, one of the major knock backs compared to SLCD I think is the viewing of display in bright sunny conditions, sometimes it can be hard to see where as it's not that bad on LCD.

Both are good, both have advantages and disadvantages. Sure the screen on the SGS3 will be lovely as well.

Note 2, who knows it may get an announcement on May 3rd but we won't know until the actual day.
[HTC One X] stm2008:
If you run benchmark test, I think SG3 sure will be better than H1X, but whether you like AMOLED or not is a matter of taste, I personally feel that the color just too sharp. Also, many ppl complaint about screen burns and the color temperature is 'cool'.

After OTA update, H1x runs just better and most reported problems were gone.

Talking about battery life, I don't think SG3 can lives significantly better.

Furthermore, you may in risk of getting SG3 which run into more problems then HTC (quad-core, ics, etc....all are new stuffs)!

If you return your phone now and wait for SG3 or H1X (again), you need to suffer from the period without a smartphone to use! If it is okay, then just return it first.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
It's a tough call. I'm sure the Galaxy S3 will be a fantastic phone. It will be interesting to see whether or not Samsung uses more premium materials than they did in the GS2, which was built substantially better than the original Galaxy S. I'd be willing to bet the GS3 will be quicker out of the box than the HOX. I also think battery life will be better on the SGS3 than on the One X, based solely on Samsung's reputation of building devices with relatively good battery life. The battery life on my Galaxy Note was the best I'd ever had on an Android phone. I really like the camera on the HOX, but I'm sure the camera on the SGS3 will be just as good.

As far as the screen goes, like a number of people have said, it's really a matter of taste. I really like the screen on the One X. I think it looks very sharp and colour reproduction is spot on. I had a Galaxy Note before I bought this phone, and while the screen on the Note was fantastic, blacks, especially while watching video, were quite blocky.

Realistically, the One X and SGS3 are top of the line phones, and they'll both be about as good as you can get right now. You can't go wrong with either.

[HTC One X] jeyml:
My honest opinion?Back in my country there is a saying : "Don't reach to much or you will burn yourself".I think that is what you are doing.You are trying to get the....best phone so to speak,but you have to realize that there will be verry few differences between this two phones.One will be the display and the second will be the battery.As far as the display goes i think that H1X will be better because i've seen SII and Note,i've played with them,but honestly,i'm not so thrilled about those AMOLED displays.If it's sunny outside (especialy in the summer) you can't see anything.I don't know if that is a display issue or the glass itself,but overall,i don't like them.I had a SII (of my wife) for a few days and i have to say that the screen was at max brightness and still i couldn't see anything.Maybe the SIII will bring some improvements to it,but i doubt it will be better than the H1X.As for the battery,i don't know what to tell you because there are many options you can do to improve the battery live.I mean,there are a lot of custom ROMs out there which have improved the battery life.You have to realize that HTC will bring up in the future some improvements to battery life trough different updates.Even today i've noticed an improvement of the battery live after updating to 1.28.Before the update i had to charge my phone every night because the battery was at 20-25%.Today i got home and i had 73% left of the battery and i still played games,browse web,installed some apps on it and after another 2 hours of "playtime" with the phone the battery is at 67% (now it's at 64%).

And i bet that H1X has something better that SIII won't have: the Tegra 3 chip which gives you great graphics.

Besides,if you think a bit,even the SIII will have problems.There is no perfect phone out there,everytime there will be bugs and glitches,you just have to wait for the company to release an update to resolve them.There could be problems with the UI of the SIII,or it could be other problems,who knows?But you have to expect to have problems with that phone as well.Don't consider the SIII the perfect phone.

Hi to all,

I don't see any thread regards the possibility for a 3G phone into a 4G.

Maybe its a silly thought, can it be possible?

does to days phone have the same chip or chipset for a 4G, may be its disabled?, or need to have a 4G simcard?, or is it if you want a 4G phone, you need to buy new phone all together.

Wait to hear your thoughts.:cool:
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
as far as i know 4g is available in USA and in UK, so we are talking about LTE, our ordinary Seny doesent have LTE mobo installed. And ordinary Seny have same mobo as 4G - LTE module
[HTC Sensation] barascus:
Thanks for the reply dublinz.

So LTE and 4G are both different systems? does this mean for a 3G network phone to be close as a 4G it becomes an LTE?

Ok let me rephrase my question from my first post. Let say there is a

HTC sensation 4G and a HTC sensation XE with beats audio(which is dead at the moment:(). As you know other HTC devices didn't have the capability to have Beats Audio, know nearly all HTC's phones have that function thanks to the Dev teams.

Now, for the 4G or LTE, can it be emulated in a 3G phone so it can use the 4G networks. Let say some Dev team see what chip or software in a HTC Sensation 4G which is present, and it can be emulated in one way or another, or make some kind of a virtual software to have the 4G in a HTC sensation Xe for example;).

Wait to here you're comments.
