[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swolfaz1:
I've noticed that mine (and others report) their SGS3's run particularly hot. This is most likely due to the dual core processor, the processor seems to be located at the bottom right of the phone (by the back softkey) as this is where the phone is the hottest. Im in Arizona and during the summer temps outside are excessive constantly over 100F. Even when in my home all day I can rarely get my battery temp down to 85F. Li-Ion batteries have a much shorter lifespan when exposed to temps above 85 and when exposed to excessive temps are also prone to "thermal runaway" in which the cells become so hot that the battery continues to self heat until catastrophic failure in which there is so much pressure built up inside the battery that when the casing fails it essentially becomes a flamethrower. The dell laptop battery recalls were caused by this, a flame thrower in my lap doesnt sound fun but neither does one in my hand (unless im using a real one). The polymer plastic casing is a terrible heat sync (especially with a rubber case). It seems these batteries are going to need to be replaced once a year.

Looking at about a 35% loss in capacity within one year. I also experience terrible battery life, moderate use i get about 6 hours, screen eating up most of my battery and when in doors i keep the screen brightness all the way down.

Data found from multiple websites but do not have enough posts to site source:silly:

Wait.. You're complaining about your phone being 85f? Try over 100f lol mine gets to 42c.....very annoying
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shehade08:
I got my phone there first day it came out and its rooted and overclocked and it stays around 28 C but goes up to ~40C at heavy use
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
Yes, these batteries are doomed.

I have been looking into the charging PMIC and if you can tell it to stop charging at 80%, but it appears to be hard set at 4360mV where it goes into a trickle charge mode and runs the phone of the USB power.

The problem is two fold. For one thing we have a 2100mA battery, and the charger is 900mA, so a 0.5C charging is good for long term battery life, even better if you charge over USB at 500mA. But the discharge rate can be as high at 1000mA if you have all the bells and whistles on and things are hot to begin with. The typical usage with screen on is 200mA, maybe 400mA with WiFi, more with BT. But current increases greatly when both cores are over 1.5GHz.

So the problem mostly seems to be the charging is reducing capacity by people going below 10% charge (if you graph the voltage you can see the tail off below about 15%) and charging above 80%. LiIon capacity is reduced by keep over 95F and also permanently reduced by draining to low voltage levels and also charging much above 4.2V and then holding the voltage there. I noticed the capacity after two weeks was reduced by 20% already.

And no, the thermal runaway is no longer a problem and I wouldn't mention it anymore. The battery self-protects, as well as the system is being very careful monitoring the thermals. Also, the CPU is throttled above 56C ( I believe)

But, I know in the PMIC controls you can disconnect the battery and run only on AC when plugged in. This would be ideal to leave charge the battery to 80% then stop charging it, and you could leave it plugged in at work or overnight without worrying about the battery capacity.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You lost 20% capacity in 2 weeks??? Wow!

I've had mine for going on 2 months and my battery seems as strong as ever! Still able to easily get over 24 hours off a full charge and still be above 10%.

I am not trying to be argumentative here but isnt the idea that going below 15% and charging above 80% purely myth? I've seen quite a number of people posting the same info in the past but when asked for a reliable source for their information they are never able to produce one. Im pretty sure I've read articles/studies that debunked it as well. (Ill try to find them but honestly may be thinking of something else I read. Ill let you know either way if I find it)

I do know its a good idea to have the built-in function that stops it charging around 95-97%, but isn't that just to prevent overcharging?

Also I should point out that my phone does often get quite warm, even hot sometimes, but it hasn't affected my battery life in any noticeable way.

As for your 20% drop in capacity, have you flashed any roms? The latest jb leaks have big battery drain issues. Also when you flash any rom it can take a few full cycles for the system to relearn how to accurately report battery use and can often trick people into thinking the battery capacity has gone down.

Like I said, not trying to argue with you. It seems you tend do do your research on this type of stuff so im hoping you can point me to where people are getting their information.

How is the develop of the dock version ??
[Atrix 4G General] Bluemotion:
Will you still be using the chroot method, or some other way?:confused:

Waiting eagerly.:laugh:
[Atrix 4G General] Goindrinkn:
Where to start...

Zac,

A wonderful thing to see this thread start so quickly. / I was the one who posted a few days ago about running Deb Wheezy based on your build guide. But I'd like to help push this effort in any way i can. (and I can always run 2 img files since I boot my image from term as opposed to the app...)

My goal reason for the purchase was to be able to bring up X, and launch VPN and RDP / With the build I hacked together I am able to do so with XFCE / VPNc and remmeia / and as far as browsers go, iceweasel was the only one that would semi work. (chrome seg faults / and web would seem to launch and then just disappear...)

When it comes to the webtop, I know there have been some posts about chaning the resolution down to 120 that seemingly puts JB into tablet mode, but I found that to be less than useful once i got into chroot. I've never been happy with the display fonts on the webtop. (once i had a config where the fonts were clear etc, but i did something and lost it... ) But the biggest hurtle there I think in part is that it seems to mirror the 960x540 res / and once you increase it you have to pan. / If you use fit to screen in the menu it will fit it to screen but then the mouse clicks don't pass through...

If you are looking for bugs - what image would be the most helpful / easiest for your to work on? (deb/ubuntu/etc) and full/small etc.

as i will load that to be more useful...

and does it matter what the base rom is. (currently I'm on epinter's CM10 rom updated yesterday) if keeping things more uniform would help I can pop something else on for the time being...

One of the main issues I was getting when running the images was the desktop being gray on the ubuntu 12.04 image like everyone else, but even after getting another desktop loaded on certain programs would not launch. When i would try to launch them from terminal I would get a seg fault. also when I tried to step through the commands in the ~/.vnc/xstartup I was getting a seg fault there as well. (So I am guessing that's why the gray screen when I VNCed. / So the second question is, when I do get a Seg Fault, is there anything additional I can provide that may aid in diagnosing the issue?

Thank you again!

James
[Atrix 4G General] devwithzachary:
The 'normal' method is to use chroot (after all it does work very well just needs refining), when it comes to the webtop not 100% yet

Hey James,

Really the biggest issue with know of right now is the grey screen, and with the large ubuntu image unity not rendering correctly. So this will be the image I will be working on first.

As far as base ROMs it really shouldnt matter to much (of cause you will need a stock based ROM for webtop) I will be sticking to a stock base for now so if you where testing from a CM ROM that would be very useful to cover both main bases.

Just pointing out the issues is a good start, on Monday I plan to get cracking with it (had to push it back after not finishing unpacking and sorting my office yet) and should start on the bug squishing, and webtop version will be once I get a lapdock which should be once the device fund has finished.

2x mouse pointer

hello

I have the Atrix with the HD Dock and bluethooth mouse and keyboard.

I'm running Nottachtrix ROM which has HDMI landscape mirroring, this means I can use linuxonandroid with a mouse and keyboard in the dock. The problem is it doesn't see the mouse as a true mouse. I get two pointers, one from the VNC and one which is the bluetooth mouse.

Is there away of using the mouse normally?

thanks for any help

Jonnym
[Atrix 4G General] Goindrinkn:
Hitting the menu button or fn-f1 should bring up the vnc program options. One of the choices is "input method" there's a few choices and you may to see what works best for you. (The options are like touch,pan,zoom and various combos if those. I haven't found the perfect one but it would the there I expect.
[Atrix 4G General] ovitz:
I've got problems on epinter CM10.

1. I can run only Debian

2. can't get su in Debian

3. sometimes, VNC says "disconnected"
[Atrix 4G General] Goindrinkn:
Ovitz - yes. This is in part why Zac has this thread too. It seems the tegra2 is a little finicky. I was only able to run Debian as well and only with xfce. I created my own image to do so. It seemed to me that the desktop manager would seg fault and then everything else was an issue. A good start may be to go in to the home did for your user and look in the .vnc hidden directory. There will be a file localhost:0.log (the number may change but should be 0 on the standard image. When you locate the file you can use "cat localhost:0.log" to view it or even better add "> filename.txt" to redirect it to a file. And then you can post it. My guess is you will see a segmentation fault in there.

*disclaimer - I'm just an excited user that has been hoping and waiting to get this worked out on the atrix and not a dev...
[Atrix 4G General] Jonnym:
I tried all the input method options available on androidVNC none were that good.

I'm a bit ruined as I've just unlocked the bootloader and installed nottachtrix with faux1.3 kernal and webtop flys, no lag at all, it even runs bbc iplayer HD.

I was hoping to to find a webtop replacement, as I use it alot, so I can run ICS or Jellybean but the combination of the pointer and the complicated start up is making me hesitate. Great to have it working though big thanks to the devs.

This is a product of the client. My mouse arrow floats above the remote one but anytime I click it jumps to the location and clicks as well. / I am not sure if there are "seemless" 1 to 1 clients with regards to the mouse. But there certainly are a number of vnc clients out there beyond androidvnc. I am sure for each one someone could tell you why it is the best ever or sucks....

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
I got a T last night, so have been trying things out.

So far, it's fast. I'll post benchmark results.

It feels nice and solid, screen response is much better than the S. The keyboard has been tweaked and is better than ever.

Not tried the camera yet.

NOVA 3 doesn't play right, it flickers constantly. Other games seem fine.

This is a great idea

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] realfelix:
not that much of an improvement over the S.. mine goes up to 3500 tweaked to the max.. @1,5ghz .. so theres only a 900 points difference, no way i will leave my s for this slight improvement..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
The predictions are better, like it suggested @ after typing the first part of my email etc.

Speed wise it's more than just benchmarks, it feels much smoother than the S. The touch response is vastly more accurate.

So my xperia T wants to be a bond. I flashed it yesterday with generic Uk, and then i ran the sony update on the pc to reinstall the firmware from sony. All was good I rebooted the phone all the O2 stuff was gone including the james bond theme. rebooted the phone few times and all was good.

Now today i turn on the phone and Mr bond theme is back, however the theme is not available as a theme. what happen? should I restore to factory again?

Privacy. We are talking about screens of our personal mobile devices, not some 24" monitors that we'd use to watch a movie together with friends.

Hate much a person standing right next to you trying to spy over your screen? Smaller viewing angle is actually an advantage if you see it this way, especially with smartphones.

Linpack single thread: 104.53 0.8 seconds

Multi-thread: 213.232 0.79 seconds

AnTuTU: 6892

Walkman is the same, runs better though. I always had stuttering when the signal dropped and I swapped from 2/3G and when I lost coverage completely. So far it's not stuttered at all, while turning radios on and off .

I've just taken some photos with the iPhone 5, S, T and my GH1. I'll upload those after work.

Battery is disappointing so far, the screen is on 50% and auto adjust, it tends to drop very fast though. I actually don't like the % indicator next to the battery as I can see how quickly it drains :-/ I've lost 2% running AnTuTu.

You can really tell the extra power is there when gaming, The Dark Knight, GTA III etc look better and run really smothly. No hesitation or slow downs like I had on the S.

I don't get the obsession of viewing angles lol.

That's so silly.

Xperia phone's screens look actually really really good.

And they don't perform any oversaturated crap of some other manufactureres.

@sidneylopsides

Still Xperia T performs really well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chad_Petree:
How can it be the same if the screen is bigger?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Gambler_3:
I mean viewing angles are the same and no they really do matter, try playing a racing game with tilt controls which is the way I play them. It gets extremely annoying on an xperia phone except the xperia P. It also matters when more than one person is trying to watch a video or a photo on your phone.

Sony is the only manufacturer whose flagship phones have crap viewing angles, obviously they matter or else not all other companies would be making phones with great viewing angles.

Apple, LG and HTC are also using LCD screens btw and they are not over saturated. Sony screens really have no advantage over the competition.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Chad_Petree:
Im still confused the Xperia t vs Xperia TX , the tx is the only model who has lte? is it true it has an snapdragon 3 instead of an snapdragon 4? Is just it doesnt make sense to me, how can the tx be thinner if it has lte?
