Hey,

In my quest for root and an overall more usable phone I stumbled upon LGs QuadGearBox.

I have read about it in an announcement however it hasn't been released officially yet.

It has the option to set the tegra processor to eco mode. Feel free to try it out ;)

You can choose any shortcut app and dig into settings where you will find QuadGearBox or just use my wrapper-app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domenukk

There is also a CPU meter hidden in an lg settings app but I have to sleep now... :D

Hope this helps and brings this awesome phone with battery issues a step forward. It's as good as it will get without root... ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] atipon:
Thanks!

Why LG decided to hide this menu?

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Seems like eco mode only run on 2 cores.

Thx ! :p

[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
I have no Idea why it's hidden. Maybe it's doomed by tegrademon? :D

No seriously after googleing I've read in some announcement that they want to publish it

at some point in the future. So we can only guess... ;)

Btw I think you are right with the processor only using two cores. It seems to me like it tends to use the shadow core more often as as well but have not tested it properly...

Did I just answer your request via mail?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] robster47:
Just search for it.. it's there.

Tnx, i'll try :good::good:

I am using eco mode now and the biggest difference that I notice is that I have a lot more free memory.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nikokazaa:
because this app turn off the third and fourth cores?

If i play with a games for tegra 3 only 2 cores runs!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
Exactly that seems to be the case. If games start to lag just power it up again ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ronok:
Is it possible that this app is causing BSOD's?

I had a problem with random reboots or just a black screen with the only solution long press power buttom or battery pull. So I restored factory settings and installed a few basic apps (no special boot services I think) and also this tweak. Now the black screens are back. Very weird, because I'm not doing anything "out-of-the-box". :confused:

PS: don't mind my sig, that's my old phone (which I still have to use way too much as backup phone...)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
I would say things like this can very well be possible although I didn't have any bsods at all with this phone (using the latest 10d software...)

btw I'm gonna add a better icon as soon as possible... :laugh:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] CescMusta:
I have had exactly same problem, it also caused some random reboots for me, so I deactivated the Eco-function and uninstalled it afterwards.

The random reboots are gone now. So this app might work on some phones and not on others, that's maybe why LG hasn't published it yet.

Best regards
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ronok:
I had BSODs right after boot, that was frightening. Mostly I could just see the unlock after boot before going black. One time I was lucky and was able to reach settings and select factory reset...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fire3d:
i do not have any issues using this unsupported feature, but i also don't have any impact on battery usage ....

i think that lg hasn't implented it yet cause of instability and bugs ....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
You can always perform a factory reset from the recovery in case you cannot boot anymore ;),(keep on an down keys. Pressed on boot)

However as mentioned before my phone works rock solid in this mode. What firmware are you on? Oo

Also it safes battery and doesn't turn hot.

Still way to much battery usage however... :-\
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ronok:
I'm using 10d. I tried that once and booted into update mode. "Please wait while updating" or something for about 2 hours, so I had to reboot again.

It's strange because I was using this tweak for a few days without any problems at all. Maybe some interference with another app? I don't know about battery usage, but I can comfirm it wasn't turning so hot as it does now (with 4 cores).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
Update mode is up and power on. and what you want is recovery mode (down and power on) ;)

Maybe something that needs the 4 cores? Wouldn't make sense that the phone freezes, though. Maybe there is different tegra hardware around? Or it depends on tolerance as it does with overclocking...

All I noticed was that tegra 3 demo wouldn't start anymore. Makes Sense, tough, as it needs to use all 4 cores... :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ronok:
I'm 99% sure I used volume down button. To be honest I can't remember but it's the same on all my android devices, so I did it instinctively.

Maybe it's the app Micro CPU monitor? It has an option to show all cores seperately and also starts on boot.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
I've been able to produce a reboot myself: When switching from eco mode to quad-core with a tegra game playing in background.

So it's very likely that apps that access the processor can cause reboots.

BTW some fun facts taken from downloads of this App:

The Phone is called P880 3x instead of 4x on the Play Store

Half of the phones seem to be in used in HongKong and Taiwan

10 percent in Italy

5 percent China, 5 percent Germany, 5 percent Russia, 5 percent Thailand

USA and Great Britain didn't even make the list.

Just my 2 cents.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TechGR:
Power + Vol Up is download mode

Power + Vol Down is recovery

Power + Vol Down while connected to pc is software update mode and it is for flashing firmware or updateing via pc suite

I had problems with my O4X for no reason last night, it froze in the camera app and after I pulled the battery it would get stuck with the logo or a lockscreen with black behind it. I fixed this from recovery with a factory reset. I was not using the app from this thread, nor other hardware control apps. Firmware V09b.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DS7005:
Hi,

Power + Vol up and hold for 10 seconds and it will run a reset so I did not remove the battery

This EcoMode is so interesting for me--- why LG hide that EcoMode options??? i mean look at here in LG site http://www.lg.com/hr/mobilni-telefoni/lg-Optimus-4X-HD-P880 (just scrol down at the and of page) they show as EcoMode options in quick settings notification bar... but i can find nothing in my phone,,, so strange and funny :) maybe we get this eco mod with jb update??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
there's eco mode on my JB 20B, it was tehre in 20A aswell
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dadovvv:
Oh nice then
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dadovvv:
Ok..update to JB comleted but there is still no options for EcoMode...why???:confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
i lost eco mode from 20B when i flashed this official upgrade, but i got powersaver, i think it's the same?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dadovvv:
Not same power saver do nothing about cores in phone...EcoMod turns off 2-3 cores to save battery

read here http://www.lgblog.co.uk/2012/07/lg-optimus-4xhd-battery-power/
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
thanks for the info. eco mode was 100% there in 20b HK

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
You mean Način rada za uštedu baterije (Eco Mode) , lol

LG's Eco mode only turns brightness down and wifi etc. off when below a battery level I think, totally different ****, this one changes the way cores are managed, it tries to use 1 or 2 cores as much as it can.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Just ran this command thry terminal and it is working but i dont know if will help anything to save battery on our lg 4x...Anyone tested this and can confirm that this is working ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
i looked inside data/data/com.android.settings but i couldn't find anything related to ecomode.

can anyone shine more light on this command?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wajahebat:
Ive just tested the command and enable the EcoMode....Run the command by terminal, ive also enable a script and a shortcut on homescreen to it....

Will report back in a time being...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wajahebat:
Been using the EcoMode for 8hours...seems there's a little bit improvement in battery life

In SystemTunerPro stated that my cpu core2 and core3 is offline all the time since i emable the ecomode...

FYI mine running stock JB V20a....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
now the question is how to disable LOL
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Enter command again in to the terminal and un-check box...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wajahebat:
Just re-hit the command line and uncheck the toggle for ecomode....easy if you explore bro
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
i enabled it and still got all 4 cores firing up just by simply unlocking screen.

shown by the core usage option in Hidden Menu, V20B

not much difference in battery use.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Irish GrumPy:
Running JB 4.1.2 stock. According to CPU Stats app, core3 & core4 are still being used with ECO mode on, although my RAM usage has dropped by nearly 100MB. Which is decent I suppose, dunno how battery life is effected yet.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] wajahebat:
What ive noticed, core2 and core3 is well managed with interactive governor...Less power is used...

Eventhough the batt life of mine still not that well, at least there is extra juice, its there
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sam 4x:
Does this work with cm 10.1 ? My phone is loosing juice like crazy. By the time I typed this it dropped 2%
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Nope.This is only for stock v20 roms.....Try using iodakv7 kernel on CM roms i am using it and i have good battery life even with whats app facebook etc apps installed and running.

Can someone upload quadgearbox.apk ? it seems to be removed from google play.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] klbterminator:
I have seen that and lots of different settings as well. I think that setting is not working (as I've putted it to benchmark, the results are similar, about 15k in Antutu) and also other settings are suppose for other devices. For example the quick cover setting is for Optimus G (it said using a specific cover case which is for the G).

There are lots of reason for hiding those settings: compatibility, testing, or even failed ideas.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
I'm sorry, I'm currently working on my bachelor thesis in the field of android securty and, by that, managed to get my android dev account banned...

Before you compare apples from oranges. Can you tell me why Gingerbread is more responsive than ICS on Desire? They are basically running the same hardware.

Well, ICS depend heavily on the GPUish chip, and our old Desire ain't so fast on that department (it was build for Eclair).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fish72:
I experimented with few roms for the past few months, And from about 2 weeks ago, Fruit ninja didn't worked on one of the more close to stock roms (neatrom 21th of july). Since then fruit ninja works on some of the rom, But not on all of them.

It seems to work with 3rd party roms like AOSP or CM9, But i noticed if rom is closed to stock (Barely modified), Fruit ninja FC.

I tried the cleaning kernel utility and wipe everything, But problem persists with the close to stock roms.

Please advise

Update : Seems that formatting everything via cwm (from mounts and storage menu) solved the problem. Still checking with several roms

Hi guys,

I know a fair few of us have rejected their parcels because we were unable to cancel orders via Google Play.

My order was returned to Computer 2000 (in the UK) and signed for by them on the 19th, however to date I have received no communication from them and no refund.

Have any of you that have rejected your parcels received your refund or any other communication from Google?

Thanks,

Chris
[Nexus 7 General] dpjohnston:
I never actually received mine as they messed up address label and TNT refused to let me tell them full address and then returned it before I had chance to go to depot to collect. I emailed Google at this point (through order page) on 20th and parcel was signed for by Computer 2000 on 24th so I emailed Google again on 27th, having heard nothing, and have no reply yet. I have managed to pick up a Nexus 7 in Curry's in the meantime so just want my money back.
[Nexus 7 General] ChrisH87:
Not great is it? Mine's been with them for 10 days now (weekend included) and I'd expect to have at least received an acknowledgment e-mail to say they'd received for the parcel.

[Nexus 7 General] colonel187:
Mine has also been back with Google for over a week and no word. If my phone call to them is in event full I will just file a claim with my bank.

Yes I too am having problems getting a refund they have had mine back for a week this can't be write they better get my money back soon or gonna speak to my bank.
[Nexus 7 General] ChrisH87:
Just phoned Google... They will not consider even looking at my case until the 8th August passes. Considering they received it back on the 19th July, I'd call it appalling service.

At least Amazon and the like acknowledge receipt of a returned parcel - Google's complete lack of communication has ruined the customer experience. I'll never order anything direct from them again.
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
Same here terrible service.
[Nexus 7 General] fallen00sniper:

[Nexus 7 General] blueghostuk:
I only actually got charged 4 days after my delivery refusal had returned to the depot somewhere in leicester (this was a separate charge to the other three or four pending charges that had fallen off my credit card) . I spoke to someone last Friday who said it would be sorted ASAP, he said it was the first time he had seen this happen, but nothing done since.
[Nexus 7 General] 150pilot:
I got one from GameStop on the first day they were available. Google received my pre-order back on the 19th. I called Google & they said it could take up to 14 days to process the returned order & issue a refund. Still waiting...
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
That's what I was told 14days but somehow I don't think it will happen.

Once I get my money back i am buying Asus transformer.

You have to be refunded within 30 days of you notifying of the order cancellation, regardless of whether you have returned item or not.

[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
I am in the US and I refused the delivery about a week ago. I had ordered a case with it and still haven't gotten the case. Back before I had refused the shipment I had sent an email about being able to keep the case and just send the Nexus 7 back. But then I found a different case and decided I would just refused it all. Well then they split the order and the case is in limbo somewhere I guess. Anyway, I got an email a coupel of days ago with RMA instructions for the Nexus 7. It was in response to my question about opening the package and taking out the case. So I sent them back the tracking numbers what showed the refused delivery and acceptance back at the shipping origin. I also asked if they could just not send the case that is still pending and just issue me my refund. I haven't heard back.

It was easy to refuse delivery, I have the free MyUPS service. When I got the package shipment notification from UPS I went in and had them hold it at the location. Since I probably wouldn't be home when it was delivered I would have had to drive it there anyway. There wasn't any option to refuse. It seemed the day before or maybe it was the day it was it the location I looked at the delivery options and there was a "Refuse" option. I chose that and they sent it back. Didn't have to drive out of my way to the UPS location or anything. I plan on doing the same if they ever send me the case.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
But it's not a cancelled order. You rejected their shipment. They can take as long as they please to "process it"

And for those of you thinking of filing with your credit card company or bank: good luck. Banks and credit card companies are notorious for providing extremely slow assistance for disputed claims. They will likely go to the retailer and give them like 60 days or something insane like that to respond before they do anything.
[Nexus 7 General] Mox_Uk:
contact number for Google (UK)?

Sounds like I am just one of many who is experience a total lack of service or concern from Google?

TNT didn't manage to show up when I was home and wasn't allowed to deliver to the neighbour (although the package my misses got from TNT the same day was dropped off just fine); TNT failed to bring out the package when I arranged for redelivery (5 days after the initial drop-off) and only other option would have been a Saturday delivery, which turned out to be a no-go due to the Olympics (yes, I am located smack in the middle of London .. "yay").

Had no option but refuse delivery and have so far heard NOTHING!

Over the course of the last week I have used the google wallet email form 5 times and not received ANY response; I have tried the phone number on top of the page twice and gotten a fax/modem (+353 (1) 436 1001).

I am at this moment beyond pissed!

ANYONE have a valid (UK) number to contact these people?

I would have expected A LOT better service from a company like Google, but when (if?) I ever get my £209 back, I guess they've thoroughly proven to me that I'll be better off with an iPad - by the time the 7" iPad will be on the market anyway.

Oh well *sigh*
[Nexus 7 General] nigelw:
Nothing happening on my refund either, I refused delivery on the 19th from TNT.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 7 General] :
Not quite true on the first part. The correct way to do it of course is to notify the retailer first. The logistics is easier for you, the courier and the retailer.

But even if you notified them after rejection, they still have a maximum 30 days to refund your money.

Secondly, doesn't matter if you rejected the shipment, it even makes it simpler. It means the package never became your responsibility at any point. The item is the retailer's responsibility until you sign for it. Therefore a rejected shipment always 'belonged' to the retailer. Therefore the contract has not been fulfilled and the retailer must refund your money as there is a time limit on contracts. The statutory limit is 30 days after the order.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

I just want to say, I have ordered from Google Play Store, the customer service, TNT delivery, has performed satisfactorily. Even though I had a defect, I had emails and a replacement in decent time. However it is not over as there is still a fault in my replacement.

I'd like to write a complete saga later, but I want to get a working N7 first.

[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
As I said with banks, good luck fighting with Google just like the banks. They'll get around to it when they feel like it. Do you really think the UK government thinks they are really going to help you out? What are they going to do anyways after 31 days? Do you think you are going to get Google in trouble? More than likely, after a long battle, Google will say, "Sorry UK government, we'll refund the customer". Just let it be. It sucks for you if you really need the money because you need the funds from your account? But they aren't going to suddenly after 30 days immediately help you out.
