It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.

I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.

I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.

Thanks in advance!!! :angel:
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try
[Desire HD General] hadobac:
Would be nice if you can post the name of the app too, I can't find it.

[Desire HD General] commando0:
i think your card is getting faulty ......

back up all data and then go for any experiments ....
[Desire HD General] hadobac:
I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.

I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn

Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.
[Desire HD General] hadobac:
Should I repartition the SD card with swap storage and ext4 and stuff?
[Desire HD General] Reinaldo33897:
Just format the card with 4ext then reflash rom.
[Desire HD General] creepin:
Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card

Hello.

I'm loving absolutely everything about my s3 it's amazing.

But I have one issue, my battery life overnight.

Something is keeping phone awake!

How do I stop this?

Thank you.

Also is there going to be a fix for cell standby? Has any other phone had this cell standby issue and been fixed?

I want to remove the SIM card from my still working Infuse and put it in my s3. The problems is that sim card in the new S3 is about half the size as the older standard Sim card. Do I have to go to the ATT store and have them program a new sim card that fits my S3 with my new number?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dLo GSR:
yes.

i used a micro SIM cutter and cut my existing SIM card to fit in, coming from my atrix. just wanted to try it. i could connect to network but could not get data. so i just activated the micro SIM it came with instead.

why didn't your phone come with a micro SIM?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ghostman1960:
I got it from a friend and it does not have a sim with it. Thats why Im curious it the att store will put a micro sim in it with the number I have now.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] araemo:
They should. They may charge you the $36 'activation fee' for the new SIM.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wes78:
I'm fairly certain you need a new SIM due to the GS3 being LTE, and the Infuse being HSPA+.

I just made the switch, myself, this morning...from Infuse. What a difference!!!

32gbps speeds here in NYC.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] entropism:
The only places that will charge you for a new sim are "authorized" sales channels, not corporate owned AT&T stores. Go into ANY corporate AT&T store and you'll have a working SIM in a few minutes, no questions asked, free of charge. They'll probably ask to play with your phone or try to sell you accessories though.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
Hi,

I just upgraded to ICS, generally I like this firmware.

I noticed that in the contact list, a contact with no photo assigned, has this default bluish generic photo with a translucent triangle at the bottom right. That triangle is not present for the "Myself"

At first, I thought it is an overlay for gmail contacts, however, when I copy everything to phone contact, untick gmail contacts, the triangle is still there.

In GB, it is never there.

Anyone seeing the same thing?

Personal perference, I hate that triangle just like the new walkman icon lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hello_hello:
Yes, I got it with all contact.

I am thinking it could be a bug. At first, I am using gmail contacts, so it would be nice to have this overlay so that we know that contact is from gmail not the phone.

When I moved everything to phone (export, wipe list, import) it is still there, if that is the new default, "Myself" and those in group will have that too.

Why we need an extra translucent triangle? It is non needed extra and I don't see it makes thing kool lol. Geez, I just don't like that triangle stuff.

Anyone else having the same or you guys don't have it?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
This is an automatic installer for the lagfree script and the dalvik fix build.prop changes.

It does detect if you're using ICS or GB and does set it up accordingly.

Explanation and credits are in post 2. Manual instructions on how to apply this without the installer are at post 3. Have fun!

Most easiest way to check if the tweak script works is to open terminal before installation and type:

cat /proc/sys/vm/*

After flashing the zip do the same thing again and check if the numbers have changed (which they should have done).

Please give pastime1971 a "Thanks" at the following post: original post by pastime1971
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Credits to whom they belong:

This idea has been ported over from the G2x forum (link, by flak0).

Thanks goes to flak0 and batoo.

The original thread of the tune.sh script (by batoo) can be found here.

and of course to pastime1971 who did the most work for this great installer. Thank you so much!

What does it do?
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Manual instructions:

Read this properly! This guide requires some knowledge of editing system files and running scripts.

It wouldn't harm to do nandroid backup! I didn't do one and everything worked fine - but it's on your own risk! You have been warned!

(if your phone won't boot anymore wiping /system and reflashing your ROM should restore everything without you loosing any data).

First we need to edit some dalvik dexopt flags in the build.prop (you can do that with the build.prop app from the market):

backup your build.prop

edit your build.prop

ICS: change dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=.... to dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n

GB: change dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=.... to dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,o=v,u=n

right below add: dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

ICS only: change windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=... to windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=300

comment out dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit if it exists by placing a # in front (or delete the whole line).

save

Now Reboot to Recovery and Wipe Dalvik + reboot

Now you need to download and extract the attached tune.sh script and place it into /sdcard

Either run the script with Terminal Emulator or with the Script Manager app (don't forget to use root)

For the first method: Open the "Terminal Emulator" app and type:

su
cd /sdcard/
sh tune.sh

You're done. But you need to run the script after every reboot - or just place it under /system/etc/init.d/, rename it to "90tune" and set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x", then it will run automatically at each reboot.

Have fun! :)

Crashing my Cm7 ROM

Goodmorning,

Ive just tried the tweak, but it just crashed my Phone. After updating the Build.prop the phone, just wouldnt start up anymore.

Restored backup.. and up and running again!

Im running Temasek CM7.

Just so you know!

DAMN! Went back to CM7 because of this lag.

CM9 was unusable for me because I needed my phone to run properly at work.

Don`t feel a need to do anything like that for CM7

Runs like a charm for the last few days.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I created a flashable zip to install the tune.sh script into init.d: http://d-h.st/NFq

You still need to manually edit the build.prop. I probably won't create an installer for that because this will probably get incorporated into the ROMs anyway.

i was forced to get back to CM7 like others cause of this lag... will try this script later but

Before I start editting the build.prop, I have already the entry dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit in my build.prop, only further on in the file

(I'm on Nova HD 1.0.3 with Nova HD kernel 1.0.7).

Do I need to uncomment this entry, which is already there, and put the entry right underneath the dalvik.vm.deopt-flags-.... entry ?
[LG Optimus 2x] hei1125:
No need.

I already optimized Nova HD with the codings so you won't get a great improvement if you are already on Nova HD
[LG Optimus 2x] speedme:
That's too bad, because I experience the lags too....

I used to be on Spica kernel (installed from your installer) the phone was noticably smoother, even after a while.

But since Spica doesn't have UMS, I turned to your kernel (first installed 1.0.6 and than dirty-flashed 1.0.7 in order to avoid the wifi problem).

Now I notice the phone lags a lot, especially when wifi is turned on..

I was hoping this script would perform my phone better :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Has anyone tried this on CM7? Could there be any improvement?
[LG Optimus 2x] TweetyPeety:
have it but can't see any improvements, but my Rom was already modded and speedy
[LG Optimus 2x] zidaneism:
Yes, I'm using nova HD and I've tried the harsh/jarvis/spica kernel, they won't give me any lag for using continuously for long time without rebooting, but it did for using nova kernel:(
[LG Optimus 2x] speedme:
well, I did this mod (yes, I'm pigheaded...hahaha) and everything went well without losing any data

(did a nandroid backup before though, just in case).

Too soon yet to tell if everything runs more smootly, but first impression is that it indeed works....
[LG Optimus 2x] sephiroth76:
Try on DJ rom 1.5 beta4...resulting in boot loop.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
You still can run the tune.sh script which should help in keeping the RAM clean.

[LG Optimus 2x] kyanox:
Wow thanks. The difference is night vs day. So snappy on domination now with no lag issues.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
First post updated:

This tweak got included into owains ROM at #79. No need to do it there again.

But I got positive results from Android 2.3 devices, this seems to work there as well. As I already mentioned below, don't do the winwowsmgr.max_events_per_sec change!
[LG Optimus 2x] hei1125:
It is already tweaked.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
If i understand correctly, i should (for GB) edit the build.prop, reboot in recovery, wipe dalvik and flash the tune.zip b4 booting.. Is that correct?

EDIT: I suppose that in the lines dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n | dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

the 'dalvik.vm.execution-mode' is the keyname and the 'int:hit' is the value right?

Sorry to bother you with this 'noob' queries, one has to try in order to learn :)

EDIT: No boot, then boot loops lol... Don't touch anything if ur not sure whether u r doing it right.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ykin:
I am quite confused with the build.prop. It contains several "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit", 2 "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags" and 2 "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" with different values.

Should I keep them all and change them all?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Oh that's a pity. But everything you posted sounded about right. You could try the build.prop and the tune.sh script separately to see which one causes the boot loop.

Well.. that shouldn't be there. I would suggest a wipe /system and reflash of the ROM to get the build.prop sorted. (I don't think it came that way or the dev seriously messed up :D).

If you're in CM9 ics you can simply install one of the newest builds, it's included already.
[LG Optimus 2x] victoram:
i do this and get boot loops :(

works on cm7? hope temasek add this to its builds!
[LG Optimus 2x] ykin:
Thanks for your reply, tonyp. :)

I have extracted the build.prop in bihariel's rom, MIUI v4 2.6.1 v3. Duplicated definitions have been found.

And I guess those comments doing some magic.
[LG Optimus 2x] mad_catmk2:
did you skip this step too?

change windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=... to windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=300
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
on cm7, did everything like you said, got a boot loop even before installing the scripts
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Did you touch the "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" value? It's said two times in the OP that you shouldn't.

If you didn't then maybe tweaking the dalvik mode doesn't work. The script should still work fine though.

Waiting for more replies of CM7/Stock ROMs.
[LG Optimus 2x] thewoZa:
No issues on latest WIUI on p990. I just installed script manually. Don't know if I have noticed any improvement though...
[LG Optimus 2x] DeepEmbrace:
I think the build prop modification causes the loop.

There was no "windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec" or "dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit" in Temasek's CM7, so i only modified "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags".

This causes a loop with and without the script being flashed.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
+1

I can boot but if I wipe dalvik cache, it won't boot.

The windowsmrg line doesn't affect GB. In fact I used that mod a lot in stock ROM.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Okay, then this combination doesn't seem to work on CM7, it does perfectly on CM9.

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n

Would be great if you could test out some other combinations. If you're familiar with adb then the easiest way would be to copy the build.prop to your PC and adb push it to /system from the recovery. Then wipe dalvik cache and try to reboot. If it doesn't work push the next combination..

m=y,u=n (if this doesn't work then leave out the u=n part from the following lines!)

m=y,u=n,o=v

m=y,u=n,v=n

m=y,u=n,o=a

m=y,u=n,v=n,o=a

If 3 or 4 doesn't work you don't need to test 5 of course.

Explanations:

Thanks goes to atb1183 from whom I copied the explanations here.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
The problem is the v=n flag!!!!

I tried the combos and with v=n it doesn't boot.

I even added windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=144 (72 Hz x 2) and it boots fine. Even 216 should work fine. But i think this tweak is unnecessary because our refresh rate is 72Hz.

The int:jit line isn't necessary because froyo and Gingerbread activate JIT by default.

I'm gonna try the tune.sh scripts now.

Cheers!

EDIT:

The tune.sh scrip also works fine in /system/etc/init.d

So, in conclusion, DO NOT add the v=n flag!.
[LG Optimus 2x] thewoZa:
Could these mods affect the clock? After modding build prop and adding the tune script my clock was drifting my a minute every 3 or 4 mins... Restored backup and clock drift gone...

Will try again to see if it was this or something else but don't think I changed anything else...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Great work man! I added all this info into the OP and edited the topic to ICS+GB.
[LG Optimus 2x] reginickneo:
Are the differencies noticable? I'm thinking of give a try.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_charlie:
You're welcome!

But, it's also safe to put the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=300. I don't see a difference between 300 and 216 (72Hz x 3) or 144 (72Hz x 2). I left it in 144 because from what I read, a higher value uses more computing power. That could result in a slightly worse battery life. I didn't include de int:jit line because it's unnecessary; in CM Settings you can see that JIT is already enabled.

Maybe it's a placebo effect but I feel the phone more responsive and smooth. Well, the phone was very fast and smooth already with Temasek's noOC and 48MB Ramhack and with this I feel it faster.

There's no harm to try.

I recommend a nandroid backup first. I almost corrupted my data partition when trying it for the first time and it didn't boot.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Yes I think it's unnecessary in CM7 that's why I left it as ICS only in the OP. In CM9 it might help in making things a bit more fluid - it should especially affect scrolling smothness, which is better in CM7 anyways.

The effect is low but noticable. I compared 144 to 300 and like 300 better.

I know that jit is enabled in CM7 in the performance settings but I'm not sure about other ROMs (like Stock).

It won't harm to set this line, thus I will keep it in the list.
[LG Optimus 2x] DeepEmbrace:
Cheers for the previous info :)

I did the same as you, but i did not use the "windows.mgr..." and gave the script a trial for the day. I dont want to sound like a downer, but its harder to feel the benefit apart from some apps like Pulse and Tweetcaster seem more smooth. There seems like something beneficial, but cannot be 100% certain. Im at 1.2GHz OC right now.
[LG Optimus 2x] therightperson_630:
Did the whole procedure manually, didn't see much of a difference tbh, apart from the app home disappearing slightly faster.

Using CM9 EaglesBlood rom with LG UI 3.0 (which is already pretty smooth!)

edit: Does eliminate some slight lags in UI within apps. I'd rather have this than nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec, tried altering only this line to 300 and it booted up...
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
Read the updated post, I think if you remove the v=n flag then it should work for you as well.

On the G2x forum someone mentioned that in GB the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec doesn't work if it's above 160 - but apperantly it does.

works fine on Temasek's 127 and his OC kernel. There is noticable improvements, especially when after a reboot, my launcher 7 folder animations start up faster.. ;) Thanks for the effort.

I followed the steps and settings for GB, except that I forgot the dalvik cache clearing... still works though.. :)

Thanks for the reply. Sounds quite good, then maybe this does have a bigger effect on GB as we thought :)

For others who didn't see the post there, here's the download link: http://d-h.st/znv
