[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
improved Exynos CPU chip on a smaller die 32nm, (s2 45nm), its safe to use it at 400mhz but more heat is generated

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-GT-I9300-prototype-indeed-labeled-Galaxy-S3-faster-Mali-400-graphics-processor-onboard_id29305

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
S2: 45 nm

S3: 32 nm

So they are different chips with different thermal profiles. Run the S3 at 400MHz and it is fine. Run the S2 at 400MHz and you get a lot of heat being generated.

The GPU can decode that without problems. Is your h264 video using AC3 audio? Test using a video with a standard mp3 audio track.

S3 more plastic feals cheap not my new Phone.. I am still use my sgs2.

Both are fast at playing Videos. I cant find any Video that can or will make any problem

I think i sell my s3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzone1510:
I transferred some videos recorded on my friend's s3 and played them on my phone and it plays fine but gets stuck at some points, misses some frames and then continues, audio goes on but video gets stuck. It worked fine if I forward to the point where it happens, then that part plays smoothly. from what I read, the S2 and S3 both record 1080 at 17 mbps so why is this happening? The files are stored on the internal SD and I played them using stock video player. I'm on siyah kernal also.

I want to root my htc explorer,but all the tutorials involve using official htc boot unlocker,I want to try that only as last resort.I tried simons unlocker ,it did not work,so is there any other method to unlock bootloader,??

Thank You.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehtcexp:
Now other methods?

So there are no other methods currently available?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karanrajpal14:
Are you saying that you don't want to unlock the bootloader? If so them I'm sorry there's no other way. I'm currently using my explorer and it's rooted. Just try it, the risks involved are very less! I'll help you if you need it too..

Hit thanks if i helped!

Without unlocking boot loader rooting isn't possible
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanceOff:
Same here

:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
There is no way to root the Explorer without unlocking the bootloader (I think because of the S-ON, but not 100% sure), and I do not know of anyway of unlocking the bootloader other than the official HTC method. Why do you not want to use the HTC method to unlock the bootloader?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ri123:
The official way voids the warranty.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ri123:
Don't bother rooting like I did. Just use adb to move apps to sdcard.

Command prompt:

adb shell

pm setInstallLocation 2

........

Done. No need to root. Some apps can't move to sdcard to prevent theft. Facebook developers keep treating their free application like a paid app. Use eclipse to fix this.

More about this,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1765929

Not many people use the eclipse method. It probably a secret to android developers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
This was an old topic, there was no need to bump it. Also, what you are suggesting is completely different to the way you can move apps to SD after rooting. This way, only part of the app is moved, and part still remains on the internal memory. With root, you can move the ENTIRE app. You can also use widgets of apps which are on SD, which you can't do with the method you described AFAIK.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ri123:
You didnt understand the last part. Eclipse is a mobile developing application. If the manifest.xml was edited of an application, apps such as facebook and link2sd could partially move to the sdcard. That is what the last part was about.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
I understood it perfectly, thanks. My point remains; it still does not allow the ENTIRE app to be moved. Unlike link2sd and other apps2sd scripts which DO allow the entire app to be moved.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ri123:
Apparently, I found out that this method needs root to move the apps onto the computer to edit, sorry about the incorrect info.

What I am talking about is relevant to this.

http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/move-to-sd-card/

Some apps still cannot move to the sdcard even though the the install location is set. What I mean is that apps such as facebook cannot be moved to the sdcard because it was made incorrectly. That is where java developing programs are useful.

Java developing eclipse:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

The explorer should have enough space to download apps if the install location is set.

The time has come for the dev to unleash the beast.. I for one, am goin to be ignoring my three kids, and flashing the f out my Phone...this is happening as we speak. loooooooooooooooooooooong weekend!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I'm excited too. I think I'm gonna hold off for a week or so just to get most of the bugs worked out. Thanks for the laugh. I have a family as well and got a chuckle out while reading your post

I did flash the newt one s ROM and loved the ics with sense 4.0 feel. I went back to mean ROM because of camera. Can't wait till we have 100% functional ics and sense 4.0. Good times!
[HTC EVO 3D] lexusmike:
No more bugs. Go try out the leaked Roms. Everything works. Battery life seems to be quite good too.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Ok think I will. I am on 2.17 firmware I think i need to update don't I? I also thought I saw cdma users were having issues when i was looking at one of them
[HTC EVO 3D] lexusmike:
If your soff all you need to do is upgrade the firmware then flash Rom. I'm on Joel's right now with no issues
[HTC EVO 3D] phillip1953:
I was all exited because I had just put ICS on my Evo 4g. Yesterday, I see Newt has ICS with 4.0 Sense...so I figure what the heck, I'll give it a go on my Evo 3d. All the sudden the flood gates open.

It's a good day in the Evo world.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nabaricoder91:
Looks i'll be too busy flashing roms to drink on cinco de mayo...my gf is gonna be so pissed this weekend...oh well ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] geniustheanimal:
According to Myn, if you're s-off you may not need the firmware. Try without, and if you get some wonky ish, update and reflash
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
This is true I was able to flash without the newest firmware flashed.firmware n seemed better
[HTC EVO 3D] spaceosc:
I cant flash this weekend, had to unroot my Evo3D to exchange it at sprint, for those who are using a full ICS rom now, was it worth it? is it much better? i hope it is. been excited for a leak for a long time!

are u more excited for the official ICS and Sense 3.6 now or lukewarm or disappointed?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
It's literally heaven
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I am s-off. So i will give it a shot this weekend.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Flashed without updating firmware. Just did a full wipe and factory reset. Everything working so far. I did like sense 4.0 better I must say. Only thing I havent tested is 4g because I'm still at the house on WiFi.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Also related, I tried doing some serious public flashing but got caught... needless to say i went to jail...
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
Pretty sweet so far!

Yeah it's pretty nice. Some issues here and there but I'm sure the devs will fix all of that in due time.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I might take 3.6 for a spin if this next update from Newt doesn't improve my battery life much. I've loved using 4.0 but I might have to back off for a little bit because of my battery issues.

[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
Update: 7/13 - added free version (ad supported) to market.

I've always wanted a very simple app to let me have lists on my phone - shopping lists, to-do lists, etc, but it seems like the ones on the market have too many features that get in the way of easily creating lists, adding items, marking items as complete, and that's about it. So, I went ahead and wrote my own.

As of now, I'm happy with the app, and I've been using it for a couple of months now with no problems. But, being my first Android app (I am a professional programmer, but work in the web & desktop worlds), I'm sure there are opportunities to add features/functionality that would enhance the pure list-making experience. I had though about drag-and-drop reordering of the lists, but that seems to be more difficult to implement than I anticipated. Aside from that, I'm all ears about how to make the app better, prettier, more efficient, and more useful.

See attached for screenshots:

1) Main Screen - add/delete/backup/restore lists here

2) Back up is a simple SQLite DB file copy to the SDCard

3) Here are items in one list. Notice that some are gray - these have been "cleared" or "marked" as being complete by the user, via a simple click/toggle. An item's "cleared" status persists in the database

4) Once you're done clearing items, you can remove them from the list and database. Or, alternatively, you can unmark all of them.

See attached for APK file...

As I said, any suggestions or criticisms would be welcomed - but keep in mind that this app has a narrow focus, and I want it be very good with regard to that focus.
[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
EDIT: Forgot also that now the app has a minimum SDK version of 8, so this app will run on Froyo (2.2) and above

I've done quite a bit more work, and now this app is available in the Google Play store. Since I don't have 10 posts yet, it won't let me include a hyperlink but here's the URL:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kozzer.lists&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rb3p6ZXIubGlzdHMiXQ..

You can also find it easily by searching on my Google Play developer name: WebKozzer.

The additions include:

* drag and drop reordering

* 2 themes (light and dark)

* Optional numbering of list items

* Edit list name, or item text

* Delete contents of list without deleting list itself

* Configurable backup path

and more!

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
Added free, ad supported version to the market. Any feedback or feature requests would be welcomed. I was contemplating attempting to integrate voice commands. Like, once the app is open, you can use voice commands to do everything the app lets you do via touchscreen. It appears that this would require a fairly significant coding effort, and I'm not sure how useful that'd be either.
[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
Both the pay and free versions have been updated. Some UI changes, undo functionality, and ability to add items using voice.

Play links:

Pay version

Free (ad) version
[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
Update: 12/12 - Removed ads from Lists! Free.

Also/including:

More general cleanup

Removed network state / access permissions (since they were used for ads only)

APK size reduced by about 100kB (removed AdMob library)

Improved error handling
[Android Apps and Games] d.kozzer:
Thanks! I'm always open to criticism and feature requests! And giving a rating and/or review on the Play Store would be much appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon.W:
Hi, I have been using Runnymede for around 2/3 weeks and I've been noticing that my battery goes down quite fast..

As a heavy 'texter' I'm glued to my phone when I'm not in School etc. the battery isn't very good. Losing percentage fast.

Simple things like watching a video makes the battery, for example when on 94 go to 89 in around 5 minutes..

Is there any way to fix this or is Runny ROM better for battery life?

Cheers,

Jon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Yeah runnymede battery life aint the best, its the same with most sense roms. Make sure your battery is properly calibrated and i think i seen it in some post that Droidzone has a created a kernel to help battery life with the sense 3.5 roms. Maybe google droidzone and have a read at his site. Also sebs op for runnymede has links to kernels.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon.W:
Just had a search into how to calibrate the battery.

I'm assuming it's the first one that tells you to:

'Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.'

I'll try this when the phone gets fully charged.. I'll post the progress when it is
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Yeah erm i usually power off the phone, fully charge then reboot, use it till it drops down bout 3%, power off and fully charge again THEN once charged fully boot into recovery and wipe battery stats then reboot and it should be calibrated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
I can't believe there are still people who consider that a calibration. O.o

That bump charging won't do anything, and batterystats.bin gets wiped either way when indicator goes over 90 threshold. That procedure is to be performed only if you are can't stand the look of apps in your battery usage monitor under settings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Hmm thanks i only went on sebs way for runnymede. What would u recommend or point me in the right direction so i can check it out
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
The only real calibration for Desire is that one described in theGanymedes wonderful guide. Note that calibration is never to be used to increase battery performance. That scenario is not going to happen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Cheers il have a read
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Wow thanks, i had a good read at it and learned alot more and about kernels too. So i change my kernel, lol. I have an app and its a battery indicator and before with the kernel that comes with runnymede aio v6.1.1 s.e beta i got at 100% battery - light use 29 hours and constant use 2:41 mins and now with updated kernel i got light use 38 hours and constant use 4 hours so thank you for your help :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Since I read on article this Lifehacker about prolonging lithium-ion batteries' lifes, I do not care about calibration:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ohaiu:
Long time lurker, first time poster :3. Anyways, I have a few questions regarding the flashing of ROMs and kernels. I have been looking around for a nice ROM(s) or a kernel(s) to flash the t989. Currently I am running on rooted stock and want to mix it up a bit. I came across the Darkside X v1 Final kernel located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466283&page=44 .

Now the question is can I flash this kernel but retain the stock ROM?

- any advantages vs flashing kernel and a new ROM?

- disadvantages?

Is there anything that I should be concerned about, or pay special attention to before proceeding with this?

Thanks! :o:D;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
(1) Yes you can, just wipe cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing kernel

(2) Depends on what the kernel has to offer. I'm not super well informed on tdjs kernel but for one you get BLN support which is great. You also get performance and battery enhancements plus many other goodies.

(3) Not really, any kernel on these forums is better than stock so you're looking at nothing but advantages.

(4) As long as you follow the proper steps to installing a kernel you should be fine. Common sense is your friend. Once you flash a specific kernel you might want to look at under clocking and under vaulting to extend your battery life with minimal performance decrease.

BONUS: TDJ's Darkside ROM and Eugenes Streamline Kernel are the best for me. Great stability, battery and performance. Refer to my signature for links.

Best of luck :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lodk:
The best advice I can give is Back up your stock rom with rom manager and back your apps with titanium, after that you can flash flash any rom and take it on a test drive to see how it feels. If you see it's buggy you can go back to the stock you had to begin with like you never did a thing.

Personalty I tried most of the ICS roms an found bugs I just couldn't deal with in one way or another:confused:. I did find this ICS rom today:D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623430

This has the leaked :eek: tmo kernel and radio making it almost the complete update we so deserve lol. anyway I put it on today and sofar all I could say is it is sweet :cool: no bugs this far and love the ICS......

Last advice is before flash do the darkside super wipe this does a better job then just wipe cache and dalvik cache and you dont lose the data you have backed up.

Oh also follow the directions from any rom to the tee to lessen the chance for problems

[Q] Questions regarding kernels and romArrow

Thanks for the input guys. Right now, I would like to experiment with a new kernel before going full-blown with a ROM...I will likely do that later down the road.

Now, while I was reading up on the various kernels and their offerings, another question popped into my head. Will flashing the phone with a new kernel purge pre-existing applications and settings? I will be backing up regardless, but I just thought I'd ask.

Att.com didn't ship cases until the 2nd. I ordered it 2 weeks ago so I could have it here when the phone arrived, but it's not going to make it until tomorrow.

It is what it is I guess, but I did buy a very nice Nillkin case from eBay that I will be using today. Enjoy your phone, and be very careful the next couple of days.
