[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalteji1993:
yes i know u said that it started working. What i am saying is that whenever u want ur phone to charge switch it off and then charge(this way it will charge efficiently) . just follow it 3-4 time when u charge it and your battery will be on the right track(i hope that works). my note takes upto 1.3 hour (nearly) to charge completely from 10%. and when it's switched off it does the same in 45 minutes... what a difference!!!

try it and if it works for u then this way would be a best alternative to replace battery for charging issue (of course if ur device is still under warranty you should opt for a replacement).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venkat_5.uni:
Since the launch of SGS3 is around the corner and the next note will probably come within next few months, I thought of starting this thread to know how many users prefer having Quad Exynos 4 ( similar to SGS3 which is based on A9 arcitecture with Mali 400 GPU built using 32nm manufacturing process) or dual Exynos 5 (A15 architecture with Mali T604 GPU which is based on probably 28nm manufacturing process)in our next Note...

Cast your votes in the poll
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kotaro_14:
You should put a POLL, it would get more people interested. But for me, I'd rather get the A15 with the Mali 604T since A15 is supposedly to be 40% faster than A9 and the Mali 604T will blow the Mali 400 away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
Definitely the dual A15 with Mali 604. No doubt.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GR36:
I dont see any benifit by haveing a quad core cpu. Most apps dont even use the duel core.

Cant fault my note at all. So just the new duel will do with less battery drain
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rigurat:
Quad! I don't care if I don't use it, and I don't care if I don't need it.

It just feels good to have that much power in the palm of your hand.

I'll benefit from that much power since I play games and I look forward to more capable emulators in the future.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaapschaap:
I don't give a CRAP about the amount of cores!

I want the most speed that's possible, if that would be with dthe dual i take that, if it's with de quad, then thats my way to go...

Can't vote in the poll because i want speed, and since it's not sure wich one is faster i can't vote!

PS

I think the Exynos 5 will be released @ the end of this year, and the Exynos 4 tomorow :)

If that's correct i go with the Exynos 4, i hate waiting :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sharp2G:
what the note lacks is a decent GPU. the current GPU can't efficiently handle the 1280x800 pixels. however what i want more than anything is 1. non-pentile screen that is FLAWLESS and 2. a bigger battery still ~3000 mAh like the RAZR max. I would gladly sacrifice a few mm for a larger battery. I find it stupid how HTC decided to go with a slim and NON-REMOVABLE battery and storage to save a few mm. Seriously? This is why HTC is falling in a deep pit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whatsaqazza:
Exynos 5 dual, it has more power and is more efficient
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
EASILY the A15 with the T-604! Come to papa!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DigitalMD:
The fastest clock speed and the best GPU is all that matters. 2.2 ghz 2 core with a fab GPU will blow away a 10 core 1.0 ghz with a bad gpu everyday every way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
How about the beast Quad Core A15 Exynos 5450 with Mali T-658? Ok, ok, I know technically it hasn't been built yet and will probably be for tablets, but wouldn't mind seeing it in the Note since it is a tab/phone hybrid.

But as for the current SoC's available now, I would take the A15 dual Exynos 5250 with Mali T-604.

More likely, I think Samsung's road map would be to release the flagship Galaxy S lines (in this case the GS 3) with the latest SoC's, then the next Note (Note 2 in this case) would get a slight spec bump based on the Galaxy S 3 with a faster clocked CPU/GPU combo of the Galaxy S 3 line 6 months later, then the GS4 would get next Gen SoCs with the Note 3 getting a spec bump of the GS 4 SoCs, etc.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
I am sorry.. but this amounts to techie circle jerking.. :D

Quad core processors came out for the PC when not a single application could even use two cores, much less four.. Even today, several years later, for the very very vast majority of applications, it is hard to get a PC to run more that one and a bit processors.. My i7 snoozes, and even cranking up real time low latency audio(a stressful activity)it runs 2 processors at 30% and one at 5%

Therefore I frankly do not care if they put a hamster and a wheel inside the device...as long as the results in operation of the device meets my needs.:D

So, given my customer needs are for smoother, faster and more reliable operation with better battery life and an enhanced user experience, Samsung can put whatever they want into the device...

In saying that, decisions by the majority of folks are driven by what they think the specifications mean, rather than the impact or result of those specifications in real life usage, so while i am sure its not necessary, a next Note will for sure have a quad core.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fulcrum1971:
With a single core my galaxy s with ics is snappier than my note. Finally its the software I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
I agree. Android multitasking would need to be vastly different than what it is today, and on top of this the RAM specs need a major bump to even begin to show advantages in multi-core processing.

Also like you said, it has not mattered for deskptops and laptops what the real-world benefits are, just what the consumer feels about the value in their purchase. Nowadays it seems people are more concerned with the number of cores as opposed to the clock speed.

I do like the approach that Ti has taken with the OMAP in dedicating low-power cores to low-power functions, and feel that it really has potential in mobile devices, but they seem to be a step behind when it comes to the bigger tasks of mobile processing. Intel being on the cusp of Haswell has me excited to see what they can do in this territory.

Dual Exynos 5 for me at the moment.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
It'll be interesting to see how they market this dual core a15 processor because joe public, will always think more cores is better. I do feel though that the note 2 might not have the same internals as the s3, like our notes had the same as the s2. For the note they seemed to put in all the best tech they had on offer at the tine, so if the a15 is ready to go by November time then I think they'll defo use it unless something better is available.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Dual core with speed.

Quad cores mean squat if they slow the primary usage down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Geekybiker:
I'd rather get a dual than a quad even if its on the same generation and process so long as it is clocked higher. Give me a smaller process, newer gen chip and better gpu? There is no choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
Id go for the i7 3960x and gtx 690 if they can squeeze that in the next note :eek: but I think I wont get a choice and will just end up with whatever Samsung puts into the note 2. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venkat_5.uni:
I agree with you....the main reason I created this thread, because I wanted to know how many members actually know the effect of system architecture and the manufacturing process will affect the day to day performance of the device, battery consumption etc.,it was never about the software but I know it everything comes to the OS how deeply it is integrated with the hardware and how effectively it co-ordinates with them...this is why Apple's devices are snappier than the android...the problem here is Samsung is more concerned about bringing more devices out than focusing on the system's deep integration...so it only comes to the fact that the thread is only about the hardware... but the discussion about the embedded systems is also welcomed....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] venkat_5.uni:
I heard that Note 10.1 tablet is being delayed because Samsung wanted the device with quad than dual...so there is a little chance that the next Hybrid Note will come with some other spec....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mistershark:
I have my gnote since december 20th and I haven't any mod on it.

I have just made all the available stock updates.

I hope an android future without lag, I hope ICS stock will come soon giving me the impression to have a different phone in my hand.

There's no important discussion, in my humble opinion, on how many processor will have the gnote2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] diocleziano:
The important is the battery drain! Performance now are good! We can't think only to "Mhz" or the newst CPU!! But if ICS will slow our Note, it will be necessary!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
is this Really a FAIR poll? :) of course Dual [Exynos 5] based on A15 with Mali T604 is the champ and thats what should have been in the galaxy S3!and in the next galaxy Note there should be something even more advanced!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryn888:
I want 6 core in my next note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Dual A15 over a Quad A9 any day!

Especially with the newer Mali-T604 vs the aging (though still quite capable!) Mail-T400.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Maybe it cannot sleep when sync is on?

I imagine that wifi is needed for weather/news/etc updates and clould2device services.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait...the options are changed on ICS correct? Meaning its never off during sleep on Gingerbread and always on during sleep on ICS or am I not understanding?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Huh? Mine sleeps just fine unless I set it to never sleep.

That aside - you are aware that you're better off leaving wifi on anyway, right? It uses less battery power than the cell radio does. Just an FYI ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Finally figured out everything!

Took whole one day to find out everything!

First, most importantly, WiFi sleeps!

I'm going to explain what happend and how we could make wifi sleeps better in op section.

edit. Partially updated. I'm checking now if I can make a script to change the leading time that is required before wifi actually sleep.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
All updates are done! Enjoy your ability having control over wifi idle time!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You know, upon further testing, idle battery drain on 3g is pretty damn good as well. I am in a lousy signal area during the day and I have been leaving wifi on 24/7 so a lot of battery got wasted from the phone searching and finding wifi to connect to. Tomorrow I will disable wifi while at work but...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Based on your screenshot, it seems like you are wasting the battery by turned wifi on wifi 24x7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. While I am around the house say going to the store its minimal but when going to work in NYC I am picking up wifi i cant connect to every 10 feet so its definitely negatively effecting battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I think there is a little difference of understand about what has the control over other services/fuctions.

Usually weather/news apps are dependent on wifi or 4g services. Those apps usually do not control the wifi or 4G and many times only able to communicate wifi or 4G are turned on. Those services cannot hold the wifi/4G connections even those services are still running.

That's not true. It's totally based on the signal strength. Usually 3G is not fast but do not use battery as much as wifi when the signal is weak on both wifi and 3G.

Now you don't need to manually insert the table row to use this tweak.

This tweak file is a complete set by itself. By running the tweak file, you can change or create the wifi idle timer on/into the database.

Edit: Well, not ^^^ ALL of it is fixed yet. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Thank you both of you! Sometimes, simple mistake is not to catch because it's too simple!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
will this tweak work if I set wifi to "only when plugged in"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I think the right answer is No.

When phone is plugged in - wifi is always connected even after the screen turned off. So, this tweak would not work while phone is plugged in.

When phone is unplugged - wifi will stay offline always. So, this tweak is not applicable.

If you set the option to "Always" - wifi will stay connected during the screen off. So, this tweak does not work.

If you set the option to "Never" - This tweak only works for this option.

The purpose of this tweak is minimizing the waiting(idle) time until wifi moves to sleep mode after the screen turned off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
Kobridge, i came through this topic after some searching for a problem of mine.

I see you know some basics...

If you have some time, take a look at this... that wifi issue is driving me really mad !!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673514

thnx in advance :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
For this, I believe it's related to the value of wifi.supplicant_scan_interval which is normally defined at build.prop.

Check out the value from there.

These days the value 180 (3minutes) are normal for tweaking purpose. But for EPIC 4G Touch's case, it's default is 5seconds (causing lots of battery drain if you are moving around).

For example, if wifi is not available from some location, then your phone will try to searchthe available wifi network after x amount of times. If this value is too big, then it will look like wifi is not connected (so most of you, just try to reconnect the wifi manually before time comes). If the value is too small, again it causes the battery drain.

Once the wifi is connected, it keeps the connection based on the wifi policy. But if the connection is lost, then it will try again to search!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
First of all, REALLY REALLY REALLY Really thank you for the reply mate.

My wifi supp value is set at "10"

I know this value only works when there are not any "known" access points in range.

The thing is, that it NEVER connects with screen off or on when i get back in range.

It only does it when i go to wifi settings (refreshes the list and connects without touching anything more!).

(of course, my wifi battery saving policy is set to "never" while screen is off)

Wifi stays on but it freezes AP scanning, while screen is off i guess.

Would a logcat help? Any tips about how to capture a good log about that issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Are you using juice defender or any battery saving apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
No, never. I'm against this kind of apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I need a couple of things from you.

1. screenshot of your wifi setting (advanced mode)

2. build.prop

3. all of init.d scripts

4. init.rc (under root)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
Sorry for late response, i was at work.

I'm attaching in a zip file, link below

init.rc

screenshots attached too in this post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
It seems like there are couple of things that you need to test out.

1. ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1 from build.prop. Change the value to 0 and see if there's any difference.

2. If there's no change, then make the phone does not go to deep sleep mode by changing the value pm.sleep_mode=1. change it to 0.

3. Still not working, try to change the wifi mode from your router.

4. If anything does not work, make a clean flash install of your rom again. Without adding anything, try it again.

Because I'm not LG phone user, my answer in here is so limited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
Good morning / evening

I changed the values "ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0" and "pm.sleep_mode=0" and rebooted, leaving home while wifi was connected to my router, when i got to my office, i waited again about 10 minutes and then i unlocked it to make a call... wasnt connected :mad: Aaaaarrrrrfffffff

Saying wifi mode of router?

My home router is at 2.4Ghz 802.11 b/g/n

My office router is at 2.4Ghz 802.11 b/g

both WPA2-PSK protected

I rollbacked to Froyo (2.2.2) the hard way, by flashing stock rom by LG's utility... again the same, though I did not test it much because i had no free time.... ill try it again.

Could it be possible, wifi malfunctioning in hardware level??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
I had some experiments with:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse 1 or 0

when value is 1 means, that disables power-down to save battery, right?

It was originally "1" thus, means that it didnt try to save battery turning wifi off...

Besides, when wifi was connected, with my phone inactive somewhere in my house, viber initiated a call (called from a friend who came) just to test it out.

(wifi = active when screen off, no matter how much time passes by)

Same happens with value at "0" so that command doesnt affect wifi.

Next one is

pm.sleep_mode

from what i found, there are 3 sleep modes... had some testing with "0" "1" "2" stil no change with wifi....

Tried 3 different kernels too... flashed stock 2.2 froyo

(when changing ROMS for testing, i always wipe cache and dalvik and i do a factory reset from CWMR)

Changed my router settings, to another channel, wep protection, no protection, different SSID, different protocol (b/g b/g/n etc)

The issue still exists... might be a hardware failure then? How's that possible when wifi works super super fine ? :S
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Wow it seems like you spent lots of time but only the solution seems like bring the phone to service center.... Sorry for couldn't help you any more..:( and thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morx:
You thank me, for which reason? :D

I should thank you, once again kobridge !! ;)

Yeah i've spent a lot of time the past week trying to find what the hell is going on and as far as it happens with stock ROM (both froyo and gingerbread) i decided a few hours ago, to pack it up, factory flashed bone stock back to LG service along with a note explaining exactly the issue.

If only i had a personal credit card, to give you 10$ for your effort and time.

You deserve a couple of beers as a gift :p

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ynot2day:
wifi_idle_ms not respected

Had the same problem under ICS - setting wifi to be never on when sleeping I have to wait 15+ minutes until it goes off.

Using aSQLiteManager from Android PlayStore manually added wifi_idle_ms to settings.db to table "secure", set to 10000, verified it is there, copied back under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/, deleted the other two files (settings.db-shm and -wal), rebooted the system and ... no effect, whatsoever. Also tried to create it in table "system", as e.g. screen_off_timeout is defined in that particular table - same nothing.

Is there any additional veriable to be modified so that the system qcknowledges this setting? Any hints welcome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
It seems like table is locked and you cannot update the table.

OK. Visit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668853&page=76

and download FF02KOB_TWv3.4.zip

Unzip (FF02KOB_TWv3.4.zip) & Unzip (FF02KOB_TWv3.4SF.zip). You will see many files. Find

/system/etc/init.d/70wifiSleepWait_kobridge. Copy this file to your SDcard or to /system/etc/init.d/ (if you want to run it during the boot). To run this tweak, you need to have sqlite3 installed. If not, copy the sqlite3 file to /system/xbin.

You can run this script manually thru SManager or if your kernel support the init.d scripts, then it will run automatically during the boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ynot2day:
I did what you said - system/init.d dir did not exist, I created it and copied the file. (sqlite3 was in place at the path you said).

When I run the sript as root in SManager it says:

/system/etc/init.d/70WifiSleepWait_kobridge[17]: tee: not found

/system/etc/init.d/70WifiSleepWait_kobridge[23]: tee: not found

/system/etc/init.d/70WifiSleepWait_kobridge[33]: tee: not found

/system/etc/init.d/70WifiSleepWait_kobridge[35]: tee: not found

I run it from the root dir also in case the path would be relative - no use. Neither the log file is created in the /data/log directory.

Anyway, what the script was meant to do is to inser the wifi_idle_ms variable into the database settings.db. I think I succeded doing that previously too but nothing happened. What do you mean the table was locked? I rebooted and checked it afterwords and the variable was there.

Sorry for my stupidity, I am not a linux expert at all..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
It seems like the manual run was successful even though some steps failed - tee is a command but it does not affect anything. So you can ignore the error. Now try to chane the value on tweak file and run it again if the value changed. Be sure to use root explorer editor to edit the file.

When you manually edited the table, the table was locked because phone was using the same table. Lock is a term used in the database, and it prevent someone (or process) to update it while it's being used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ynot2day:
Still no effect whatewer I put for wifi_idle_ms.

This locked thing is not clear for me: I copied the bin file first to the sd card, so that I could edit it. Inserted the variable and copied the bin file back to its original position in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases. Previously I deleted all files in that directory. Rebooted the system and made a copy again about the file in the android dir and checked if the variable was still there and the value was correctly set. Everything seemed to be ok, still no effect.

I seem to remember that someone tracked the system by usb debug and found there was a command running, which delayed the idle sttus execution of wifi. Pitty I can not think of where I read that - this might be the reason. What do you think?

Anyway just for the record - my tablet is a Point of View protab 2 ips running ICS 4.0.3 build 4.005.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
At your previous post you said that the table row created. What's the value of that?

On thing that you need to be sure is, did you put the wifi option to 'never' (never turn on wifi during screen off)?
