[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Morning guys. I think I've clogged up Agats kernel thread enough with this so figured I should hop on over here and ask about what's going on.

First of all a big thanks to the few kernel devs we have over here. I understand that we did just recently get source so I'm not blaming anyone for the issues I'm encountering.

All I've been trying to do these past few days is see how far I can max out this phones performance. I'm not concerned right now with battery life. I live in a God awful data/signal area... but since source has dropped I have noticed without even touching a single setting improvements in performance.

So all I've been trying to do these last few days is overclock to 1.4 and KEEP it at 1.4 while my screen is on. I've mostly been using Tegrak Ultimate and Voltage Control and staying at Performance gov. From what Voltage Control is telling me though is the majority of the time I'm stuck at 800 MHZ. Very rarely am I at 1.4 and not only that the phone is barley ever at 500MHZ or 200MHZ. I've tried overvolting up to +75 across the board but that hasn't changed anything. I've tried different Schedulers and have seen a little improvement using CFQ. I've kept my governor at Performance.

I've never really been a big overclock guy. This just started as me seeing how far I can push this phones performance without it melting in my hands. LOL. Now though I'm just trying to learn and or understand why 96% of the time I'm sitting at 800mhz.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and especially thanks to Sleshepic, Agat, and RJ for the work they've put into these source kernels.

I've included a number of screenies..... sorry they are kind of random but it's what I've been posting in Agats thread..... but it gives you the general idea of what I'm getting at.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
what ROM are you running? it would seem like you have conflicting scripts running. like a script which is preventing you from using certian steps. And even capping you at 800MHZ. Have you tried a full wipe then flash your rom and agat's kernel again? just wondering if there is a left over script from a perivous rom or battery saver mod. I have been following you on the kernel thread. hell, Ive been using google this to see if i can come up with something. thats I have right now.

link for reading: http://www.setcpu.com/documentation.html
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Thanks man. You might be on to something there. I'm going to look further into scripts and how they may conflict with Tegrak/Setcpu/Voltages.

This could very well be the issue...... I can't think of anything else it could be.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
No problem. im also checking it out as well. I'll keep ya informed as what else i could find.

Go team venum! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Well I'm not getting anywhere on this. A few days ago I was testing Manufan's Hooligan ROM(awesome ROM by the way) then did a fresh install over to Mijjah's Goodness ROM. I just asked in his thread and Rwilco12 said there isn't a script in the ROM. He thinks there may be some apps conflicting.

The only thing I have left to do is another fresh install. Judging by the lack of responses in this thread I may be the only one having this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
do you have multiple OC apps? like i had to delet Rom tool box when I started using voltage control. same way when I had tagraz. I beleive you can only have on OC app at a time as they will conflict by trying to gain control over the CPU.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yeah I'm running 0.2.3 and here's mine.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Well I have Rom Toolbox Pro but I'm just using that to change my font. I have Setcpu frozen thru TB and just using Tegrak Ultimate.

When I get home from work later I'm going to do a fresh install. Use Rom Toolbox Pro to change my font then freeze it. Then just use Tegrak and not install Setcpu.

See if that does it. Thanks again for your feedback. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Hi,

recently I tried out Sygic which works really nice except for one thing:

when Sygic is running in background after a while (seems randomly) the GPS message disappears (upper message in attached pic), the Sygic message remains (lower message in attached pic).

When I click the Sygic message, the app behaves as if I restarted it (says "initializing" on top right). Luckily, it remembers the old route.

Yet sometimes I don't drive myself and would like to do other stuff and have Sygic tracking in the background.

It works fine with Google maps.Yet not with Sygic. Especially when I launch any other app (even the browser, a video or something), Sygic stops tracking immediately (not always but often) or some time later.

GPS is set to never turn off in Sygic and all settings are set to "optimal".

Could that be the Android OS turning something off for Sygic as it might believe it's no longer used or something?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Sygic is more sophisticated than Google maps and uses more ram. If you start opening other apps after Sygic then they will get higher priority in ram. Sygic doesn't really stop so much as get pushed out of memory until it gets switched to again. Not much you can do about it really.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Ah that explains the issue, already feared something like that.

The only annoying part is that it no longer tells me where to go when that happens.

Does anyone know whether this happens with other apps such as Navigon as well?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Since the newest update (at least I didn't notice it before) Sygic has an option "Run navigation in back..." under Battery management.

Haven't tested it yet but that supposedly sets the oom_adj values low enough for the app not to get killed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Ah thanks, that is new indeed.

Yet I tried this and eventually the same thing happens sooner or later. :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyman1:
Open Sygic.... go to SETTINGS than go to BATTERY MANAGEMENT (i don't know witch is the correct option in english as my SYGIC is in ITALIAN)... the first setting that is show to you is the opportunity to deactivate the GPS signal after a definite time.... change it!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Yeah that option is now replaced, you can only check/uncheck it. I checked it so it keeps running in background but still shuts off after a while when using other apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiho5:
You're right. I have the same problem. This is ridiculous. You are running navigation and expect it to give you the directions at the right moment, but you don't know that in the meantime, while you got a phone call and checked your messages it was turned off silently and no longer working.

Without an option to guarantee it's working and can't be stopped in the background, you're as if you have no navigation at all.

If this can not be fixed it's better not to even install Sygic, cause this takes away a major part of what this app is meant to do. So stupid.

I have tried Igo and it was the same. How serious is that?! To have a navigation, which can stop while you're using it and need it, without warning!

Did anybody find a solution to this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Not really.

Either simply leave Sygic running in foreground / don't leave it running in background for a while or use a different app.

After I purchased it I also noticed some other annoying issues, e.g. voice says "take exit number 24" instead of how we navigate here "take next exit to A2" (our motorway navvigation signs do not show the exit numbers anyway), forcing me to look at the app way more often when there is an exit leading to 2 different motorways.

Due to such issues as well as this annoying "I die if you leave me running in background" I decided to switch to Navigon. Nicely, this app even tells you which motorway to take AND where it leads to, so I don't even need to look at it. :)

I haven't run a full test yet. Yet I left a video running in full screen and Navigon kept running in background navigating. Once I know more, I report back (if I don't forget). In any case, I wished I didn't have spent the money for Sygic after all. What do free map updates any good when the app isn't suiting oneself.

P.S.: I did inform Sygic support about the background issue and they requested more information as they didn't experience this issue yet. I provided that but didn't get another reply, the thread was then archived.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiho5:
I agree with you also for the way Sygic works. It's s not that great. Thanks for sharing about Navigon. Please, test it and post here if the situation with "silent background death" is the same. I would appreciate it if you let me know and will be checking to see how you feel about it when you post your comments.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentel1954:
I have been using Sygic for quite a long time and noticed that on my Galaxy Captivate, after initialization, if you switch to some other app then return to Sygic (either from the app icon, or from the task bar) it always restart.

However on my Galaxy S3 after switch back to Sygic it just continues wherever it left off. I guess that my Captivate had less memory to run Sygic while I have plenty on the S3.

Also in Sygic, go to Settings / Notifications and Sounds / Advanced and turn "Sound always on" would let Sygic to continue to turn-by-turn announcement even if it is not in the foreground, even when the screen is off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiho5:
I have plenty of free memory (using HTC one x) and still it's killed. But this is not a problem of sygic. it's a problem of Android. Or may be indrrd sygic didn't make the right settings for the memory registration of this app (if that's something that they could do). As I see the oom values of this app are pretty high usually when I check.

Also about the voice: I have this option checked. But I never had an occasion when it spoke to me when it was killed. I'll check again. May be I didn't notice it...

Thanks for your comment on that. I'm surely going to test this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentel1954:
You probably you haven't set the option to switch off GPS after a certain amount of time. Go to Settings /Battery management / Switch GPS off after... then move the slider until you see "never".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiho5:
Thanks for trying to help. This option is set properly to "never" with me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Hey all,

sorry for the late reply.

Sad news: Navigon dies in background as well. Just like Sygic, it doesn't always happen. But once you start using other apps actively it will eventually kill Sygic and Navigon silently. As someone already pointed out, it's likely an issue due to how Android works.

I had the relevant options ticked to never disable GPS or anything and it made no difference.

So you can use another app but you can't actively use your smartphone, e.g. I can have Poweramp run in foreground and switch tracks without Navigon dying (it also keeps talking to me via voice, even when the screen is turned off). But if you're not the driver and want to do more than just that then you'd need a second device or so.

Cheers,

Landorin

P.S.: at least now I could test both apps and personally, I'll stick with Navigon. Navigation by voice is so well developed that I don't need to look at the app while driving and if I do look at it, track assistant is better developed too (it shows you the motorway signs). With the app "Directory Bind" I was also able to move the whole big app + maps onto the external SD card.

Hopefully, the Sygic devs will listen to the community feedback and catch up in development over time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiho5:
Thanks for this elaborate report. It will be useful for many.

And yes, the navigation soft producers must make some conclusions.

If I find a good way to protect an app from being killed, I'll post it here.

Hi guys,

So my S2's home button is dead, and i really can't be bothered paying $250 just to repair the home button (screen need changing too). Ok, i read from the other thread that an USB jig is involved, but being a noob in rooting, i'd need some help here. I just need to root to back up my whole phone using titanium backup. How would i go about this? Sorry if this kinda questions have been asked before, but i seriously have no idea where to start.

P/S any suggestion to an alternative home button i can use? Say maybe using the power button or an app type?

Thanks:good:

Hi,

I also have a phone with a dead home button and i learned my way to handle it.

Try plugging in usb and holding volume down at the same time.

I don´t know why but this always got me into download mode.

Then flash any Cm9 version which is Odin compatible, next flash Siyah over Download mode and you´ve got a touch recovery.

My personal recommendation is Paranoid Android with touchbuttons in the tablet-statusbar.

You will get used to it. :)

Edit: The button remapper won´t help you getting into Download or Recovery.

Thanks man! Didnt know the normal usb cable work too =)

On another note, i'm currently running ICS 4.04 XXLQ6. Any idea how can i root this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermult:
Simply flash the latest Siyah from here: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/18/siyahkernel-s2-v3-4/

What if i just want stock ICS rom? What's Siyah for anyway? Sorry...doesn't click here for me..:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
ROM =/= kernel.

What's Siyah? Type of already rooted custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gooner4life:
Ok, does flashing Siyah root any rom, for e.g. my current stock 4.04 ICS rom? Will it cause any problem? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
Yes it will any Ice Cream Sandwich ROM will be rooted.

[HTC One X] azazin:
Hi everyone,

Have a HTC One X, on holiday at the moment and the weirdest thing happened, the audio (speaker) on my HTC One X has suddenly stopped working, the audiojack still works so head phones work however if I want to play any music with the speaker no sound is played.

I have tried fresh wipe and also installing a new rom, this hasn´t fixed the issue.

Any tips on what I can do? I have tried turning up the volume (just in case lol), phone displays audio is maxed but no sound comes through, perhabs a faulty speaker?

Thanks for your help!
[HTC One X] azazin:
-Super bump!-

P.S. anyone know how to replace speaker or where to get replacement part in the UK?
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
My speaker died too, I sent it off for a warranty repair (and got them to do the wifi fix while it was there). That was last week, it's now listed as 'repair complete' so I'm just waiting for it back.

Before sending it off I looked at doing it myself, you can just pop the cover off and remove the speaker with a small screwdriver (it's stuck in place with some sticky tape).
[HTC One X] azazin:
Hi there guys, just to let everyone know incase someone reads this thread for future references, I fixed my speaker on the HTC One X, what I did was I opened it and then moved the connecting pins near the speaker, when I popped everything back on the speaker was fully working :D

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions though, hopefully this thread helps someone else in the future that might need to fix their One X speaker :D
[HTC One X] niels-cil:
Mine speaker sometimes does work and sometimes not. Or it works and after a while the music becomes less loud and stops. Most time it start working again after a tap on the speaker...
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
I could resurrect my dead speaker by tapping/blowing into the grille sometimes.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abdullah1997:
To be honest, this is not tablet mode at all, it has nothing to do with build.prop hacks. This is the first and only Android rom to feature true Hybrid mode. This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually. Remember, android is modular, everything is an app: Lockscreen, navigationbar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets, and your regular apps of course. Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on. This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.

Now for every element that you like chose a mode (PhoneUI, Phablet/Nexus-7UI, TabletUI) and/or a size. You are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to. You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot. You will not suffer from the myriads of troubles which normally haunt you under build.prop tablet.

Notice:the JB version is a work in progress
