[Acer Iconia A500] mvan4310:
Hello,

After getting my device back from Acer, throwing a patched bootloader and recover on it, I decided to try a few different ROMs. I notice on each rom, except for CM10, I have yet to try it, that Chrome, Gmail, Reddit is Fun, and a few games seem to glitch and I have to hit the home button, hit recent apps, swipe them away and restart them. Is this a common bug in ICS or is there a fix for this issue?

happens to me too I'm running civatos latest rom unlocked bootloader with ezterry's kernel ive only hd problems with gmail and heywire cting up and aways having to force close them

First of all, I was a bit confused about the section in which I should create this thread. I consulted few people and they said development section. If this is in wrong section, I would request the mod to move it to the correct section.

Okay people, so I came across these things when I googled for increasing 3G speeds.

This can benefit you of getting 3g speeds on 2g, like me. You just need to switch to 'wcdma only'

How to switch to 'wcdma only' mode?

Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Preferences -> WCDMA only

Or

Type *#*#4636#*#* in dialer, Select Phone information, scroll down and set preffered network type to WCDMA only.

Follow ahead :

(This will mostly work for indians. And maybe for you too )

1) Download this software called 3g/4g speed optimizer from market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsInByb3Zpc2lvbi5uZXRzcGVlZC5vcHRpbWl6ZXIiXQ

2) Download this script manager - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&feature=search_result

3) Download the 3G turbcharger script by zeppelinrox attached to this post

NOTE: You might want to compare the speed differences before applying this tweak and after applying this tweak. If so, then download Speedtest app from Google Play and test speeds using it.

Now Follow ahead

Start 3g/4g speed optimizer

-choose network speed as 12/28/7-max speed

-check on down speed increase

-now click on apply tweak.

!!!RESTART YOUR DEVICE!!!

Now open script manager

-browse to the downloaded 3g turbocharger text file

-check on superuser icon(N00BS: the android skeleton icon)

-click on run. script will load. wait till it asks to make a selection...

-scroll up and see what setting you need. fast, faster or fastest. I would recommend fastest. enter the option number.

-again enter the option to reboot.

thats it!

After reboot, your 3G speeds should be increased

To check your speeds, again download something from play store, something bigger than 2-3 megabytes would be preferable as it lets you see how far the speeds can get.

NOTE 2: This may not work for everyone, if it doesn't work for you, dont blame me, you are probably getting the max speed from your network operator. Also I would again like to mention that Indian users will be mostly benefited with this tweak.

I would like to thank my friend shreyas.kukde who let me share this tweak. Please take a moment to visit the original thread by him and press the Thanks button there - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568959 :D :D

Is this because of the revolution meizu rom or I did wrong with the turbo?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SuperAce609:
I'm bookmarking this thread. Does it work for any rom? Also, is the script incompatible with any other ones I should know about?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] codeknight11:
This tweak works with all roms
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] codeknight11:
Read the steps properly. You must have missed out something. And I have already mentioned that this tweak might not work for everyone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] muiz15:
Neh... Didn't miss a step.. Its just the kernel doesn't allow me to use the script and DT2EXT+. Everything okay now :) didn't see much change anyway
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] dezire:
This does work!

I tried this yesterday and my speed went up from 1.8 to 2.8- 3.0 Mbps!

Where is the 2G boost option as I have 3G turned off to save battery but would love to have been speed on 2G
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] solidsample:
Hi, thanks for the info. But could you pls explain the highlighted line. i just feel the two sentence contradict each other. "3g speed on 2g" is great but enabling "wcdma only mode" would get check only the 3g signals, right?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] codeknight11:
Its like. Sometimes even though you are on a 2G network, you still get 3G signals even though you havent subscribed for 3G. So, if you enable WCDMA only mode, your phone MIGHT start getting 3G signals and you can enjoy 3G speeds even on 2G network.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] -Anderson-:
strangely I can use 3g on 2g packs by using the auto mode..without using this tweak
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] newarkoz:
I tried this script and i am testing it... But i have some doubts, I have checked the option on mobile networks to use only 2g! I can have this option checked or i need to uncheck it?

With 2g i only get edge Signal, but it seems it is faster than before...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sandeep_Jagtap:
Question ?

I havent tried your process yet..

I was just cusious how did you achieve..not the process

I mean logic behind gettin higher speed..

Does carrier put some limit with speed with which we can browse net..

If they put limit.how does this method handle it..?

Or something else
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Manvendra05:
I am already using supercharger script...so will there be any problem using your script over that one ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psndna88:
nice 2g speeds

well im on 2g data plan (tata docomo), so im not granted access to its 3g network,

i used to get 10-15kBps on 2g EDGE..(CM7.2),

all i did was:

Start 3g/4g speed optimizer

-choose network speed as 12/28/7max speed

-check on down speed increase

-now click on apply tweak.

<AS STATED in 1st post>,

2g edge data speeds now increased to 25-29kBps.. youtube streaming working smoothly on 2g

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] codeknight11:
If you want actual 3G speeds, uncheck 'use only 2G'and select 'wcdma mode'. If you get a 3G signal, you are lucky. If you dont, then you have to manage with edge. Make sure you check your balance properly after switching to 3G mode.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] newarkoz:
With edge (2G) i have a little increase in speed after applying this tweak, small changes but now it is better... With 3G it is faster than before, i have better speeds now :D

I have an Aircel 3G connection with 1GB fair usage cap which unfortunately is over :P and now the speed has come down to 128Kbps, but i still get the 3G network. So this tweak should work for me. But even when i follow the tweak the speedtest.net app gives me a download as well as upload speed of 120-125kbps.

I have checked my Busybox version which is 1.17.2 so the tweak should work only.

PS: If it may help I m on a stock based ROM(Myth ROM for Samsung Galaxy Ace) 2.3.6.

1 more thing when I was on CM7.2 based Apocalypse ROM with Busybox version 1.20.1, the busybox installer couldnot install the 1.18.2(or any other ) version. It says this version of busybox couldnot run on your system.

I can't believe people ask such stupid questions on here with. Of course 3g power consumption affects battery life.

And to those who say they now have no phone signal, that's because you phone is only 2g or you are not in an area covered by 3g! simple.

Is it normal that I still get the 3G/H icon after I selected WCDMA from the options?

My summary:

After applying the tweaks and rebooting, I chose WCDMA from the options and tested out my 3G. I kept getting speeds of 1MB+ over 80% of the time. Then when I switched to 2G I keep getting increased speeds as well. Not 3G speeds but very noticeable changes.

My opinion?

Confirmed working on Orange Dominicana.

[Android General] RomainD2:
Hi,

I am trying to use smartcharging feature on my crdroid ROM. During the charge, when I reach the preset charging value, it is working well as the phone stop charging. However, at this time, I can see with betterbatterystat that a Kernel Wakelock appears and prohibit the deep sleep mode to be enable. The name of this kernel is c440000.qcom,spmi:qcom,pm8150b@2:qcom,qpnp,smb5.

As a result, the deep sleep consume a lot of battery and the next morning, when I unplug my phone, I can see a huge battery drain around 2-4% per hours, which is not ideal for a smartcharging feature...

Do you know why this kernel wakelock appears? Is it possible to do something to avoid that?

Thanks
[Android General] kishke:
The phone doesn't sleep when its charging, some android thing, that specific wakelock is called vbus_present.
[Android General] T.J. Bender:
That one's in there. It's the last wakelock under KWL.
[Android General] kishke:
I know it's there but you wrote: "This is a weird one. I never could quite figure out what causes it, but it seems like it's there as long as the phone's plugged it."

So I just want to clarify it so you could give it a straight explanation. Also you have a small typo there it=in.

It's a great guide!
[Android General] DoctorQMM:
T.J. Bender: Good topic… good write-up. I can’t agree with you more regarding the frustration level chasing down “greased-pig” wakelocks! The key is to have the right tool-set for analysis. At a minimum, make sure you have CPU Spy, BBS, and a utility which will show you what processes and services are active. Here’s my approach to identify wakelock problems. Again using CPU Spy to check time in Deep Sleep.. and using BBS to check Count of Alarms as well as time (minutes/seconds) of wakelocks:

1) open BBS and set a “Custom Reference” point (basically, this will reset the clock)

2) open CPU Spy and “Reset Timers”

3) turn screen off and let it sit for your predetermined time (i.e., 15min, 30min, 60min, etc)

4) when you reach the first predetermined time checkpoint, turn screen on and first check CPU Spy. How much time did the phone NOT sleep?

5) open BBS and check “Partial Wakelocks” against “Custom Ref Point”. Also check “Alarms” against “Custom Ref Point”.

6) do this every predetermined time (i.e., 15/30/60 min).. and write down results

What I found was very interesting. First I found "com.google.android.apps.maps" Partial Wakelocks were running about 80 times an hour (and preventing Deep Sleep): SOLUTION (thanks Bruno2123), un-check "Google Location Service” in "Location Services" in system setup.

Second culprit: AudioOut_1 : I also had unchecked all the keytone and touch sound options in setup, however, I was still getting a boat-load of PWL for AudioOut_1. I tracked it down (trial-and-error) to PowerAmp. Even though PowerAmp was not actively running, I had checkmarks (in PowerAmp Settings… Headset) in “Pause on Headset Disconnect” and “Resume on Headset Connect”.. which were preventing Deep Sleep. By un-checking these, it stopped the PowerAmp AudioOut_1 PWLs… and allowed Deep Sleep.

Third: this was a surprising find. Started to continue to see excessive AudioOut_1 PWL times; however, fewer counts (number of occurrences). Turns out, every time I open PlayStore, AudioOut_1 PWLs incremented… every time I played certain games (even with sound turned OFF in the game’s settings), AudioOut_1 PWLs incremented. However, these did not interfere with Deep Sleep.. these PWLs incremented when

screen was on

anyway!

Anyway, hope others find this approach useful and hopefully will help you identify PWL/ Alarm problems and find solutions.
[Android General] T.J. Bender:
Sarcasm is a fine art, mastered only by years of practice.

I completely forgot to mention CPU Spy! Honestly, I did almost all of my hunting using the BBS "Other" timers, which show the percentage of time in deep sleep, awake, screen on, PWL and KWL. That's not to say CPU Spy isn't a valuable tool, because it is, but I had plenty of luck with BBS alone.

I kind of hinted at the benefits of leaving all Location Services off unless you need them. That said, I'm going to link this post from the OP, because you've kind of underscored the need to do so here.

And yeah, again, good catch on wakelock times. I was thrown for a loop the first time I had 94% deep sleep and 9.8% PWL until I realized that a lot of those PWLs were coming from apps that were running only when the screen was on.
[Android General] orlandoxpolice:
This is an informative post. Thanks op
[Android General] onealvideo:
Good stuff...

Too bad your findings point to Google in a lot of ways as far as battery drain... maps, gmail, etc...

I don't mind Maps that much. It has been pretty accurate from me. When I ran BBS last time, it showed no problems on my phone as far as wakelocks, etc... I had more problems with BBS than anything.. WEIRD....

Every time I unplug my phone, it will ask for root permissions about 5-6 times before I get to my home screen even.... I just don't have time to be hitting allow that many times... (yes, remember is checked...)

Thanks for the posting! I subscribed and will check back here often!
[Android General] T.J. Bender:
Almost sounds like you've got a ROM issue. I've also read that switching from Superuser to SuperSU can solve a root permissions "loop" like that.

Unfortunately, yeah, a lot of the PWL headaches I've come across can ultimately be traced back to a Google app. That said, I set out looking to make a battery last as long as possible. If you get to a point where you're happy with your battery life, I'd stop there regardless of what apps are still on the phone. The more you change, the more you can potentially screw up.
