[Eee Pad Transformer General] shonkin:
I've come up with a few more questions of a semi-general nature... but perhaps overly technical. If wrongly posted here, please advise...

Why does the Tegra 2 chip in my TF101 apparently change speeds and therefore frequencies? Using the setup app in EOS's version of Jelly Bean, one can alter two frequency / speed settings -- minimum and maximum -- and I'm thinking that is one frequency per core?

The reason that matters is because I'm experiencing an occasional spontaneous reboot. My settings were at 216 MHz (minimum) and 1200 MHz (maximum). I'm in over my head at this point as far as knowing if the lower value in particular is too low.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gunswick:
The 216mhz is the slowest speed your CPU will go on both cores. This could cause reboots if too low because the operating system crashes because it cannot get everything done it needs / wants to. Try to up it to 500 and play around with the value so you dont get reboots, low mhz is better for battery when in deep sleep etc but can become unstable.

The 1200 mhz could also cause reboots if too high, however I don't think that sounds high, some go as high as 1500 or 1600 so that is probably not the issue.

The mhz, either min or max, applies to both cores equally on tegra 2.

Your wife's nexus has 4 cores and a single ninja core for background activity, so on hers, you can set min and max for the 4 cores and the ninja core seperately.

Hope that helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shonkin:
The EOS (#79) Rom's latest update seems to have helped some... along with my using SETCPU (which may or may not be more effficient but was suggested to me by another poster here).

I'm running with the very low 216mhz still, but have upped the max all the way to 1600mhz. So far, no spontaneous reboots like before even when running angry bird, a browser, and other junk. I used an app (SETCPU) to create a battery charging profile that allows for the tablet to run between 1200 and 1600 when plugged in and charging. More to see if it worked than because I have any real need for it.... and it did work just fine.

But I appreciate the comment re 216 being really low. And if it does exhibit strange behavior again, I'll monkey with the low setting to see if it helps.

I was really suffering from massive battery drain....see here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933012

ive now found out that i am having a very wierd problem...My rom is showing some 30% battery while 4ext shows 50%......Sometimes it is exactly the opposite....Once i discharged my phone to 2% (rom reading) and when i saw in recovery it says 17%....

I have completed many many cycles of battery from charging to full....and discharge to 0.....Also i used the battery callibration app SEVERAL times!!!!........But nothing seems to work...

Can somebody help...Please :confused:

[HTC EVO 3D] klect:
Did you try to delete battery stats? Or use an app to improve battery life?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I have the same issue too when booting into recovery. I don't worry about it. I suggest the same as Ramjet in your other thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
I had this issue with my old battery and old charger,

Now I dont use my phone while charging , I charge other batteries with the wall charger while using other ones and everything is fine now.... battery % seems to be same in both android and recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
I have that same issue too. Lol maybe the recovery can't read the battery correctly. It'll show up higher in recovery and then when I reboot, it will read the same way like in recovery. Tried numerous batteries with the same result. Although I havnt tried battery calibrating. Ill give that a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
Is there any solution ??
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Try klect's solution and go into recovery, wipe battery stats. Then let your battery drain and die. Then charge your battery back to 100% with no interuptions like pulling your phone off the charger too soon. When you wipe your batt stats you are getting ready to recaliberate your battery. After you let it charge to 100 percent. Let it drain to 0 a couple times to recondition your battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
You do know that the evo 3D gives around 3 hrs of screen time dont you? even on stock rom on normal usage. If you have the wifi on all the times you'll get around 2:30 maybe 3 on a full charge.

Your battery certainly is draining faster than usual but have you tried keeping it idle and seeing what kind of drain you get? From that screenshot in the other thread it seems like your phone is getting some heavy wifi browsing or something :D (and do check if facebook or email apps are the culprit. Having push email on drains a lot)

And the recovery/rom reading wrong stats happens all the time. just recalibrate your battery like these good folks here have already suggested
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
Yes i keep wifi on all the time...

But once i kept my locked for abot 3 hours after full charge...when i unlocked it showed 99%...i was happy and i didn't do anything just surfing my screens it dropped very very fast to some 70 % !!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Also please hit our thank you buttons please. Even if you didn't get the exact answers you wanted. It's appreciated for helping one another.:D
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
you really should check your apps battery usage using one of the apps ramjet73 told you about

top culprits are mostly facebook,email exchange,google maps and pretty much anything that syncs alot

Also try using you phone on min brightness :) auto brightness is also a battery killer

I cant beleive no one asked you this but which kernel are you using? And is it overclocked?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
I've never in m whole life used a gsm phone. I have the unlocked nexus and got myself tmobile service. It was the best coverage for the cost. But it seems my data speeds are sh*tty. Everything is super slow. Do I have to configure my phone for proper use with tmo? Everything seems to be OK except data. I've checked coverage I'm all green everywhere, doesn't make sense. Here's a screen cap of a speed test.View attachment 1404131

Any help is greatly appreciated I've been reading up but I'm new to gsm and this phone .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdiddy_ub:
have you tested the speed in another location? example if that test was done at home, do one at work/school and compare

if it is just as slow you can try flashing a different radio..

i have generally been getting about 3-10 mbps depending on where i am/time of test...faster speeds as it gets later (network traffic slows down quite a bit at night around 10pm-midnight)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Somethings not right there. Did you just activate the service? Sometimes it can take a couple days for everything to get squared away on T-Mobile's end.

Also, have you double checked your APN settings to make sure everything is in order?

I'd also try some reboots and airplane cycles to make sure its connecting. Although it looks like you've got full HSPA+ connectivity. It could also just be a fluke with the tower you're on or the speedtest server you're testing on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
I activated the service yesterday and got the phone the day before. I will try rebooting and airplanes toggling. Data works, but at a snails pace. Here are my APN settings sorry if they're out of order. View attachment 1405067View attachment 1405068View attachment 1405069

I'm not bootloader unlocked or even rooted for that matter. When I do I will play around with radios. I even tried googling a way to force 3g instead of HSPA+ to make sure it wasn't the tower. No luck yet. I did a speed test at my home and it was the same. The speed test I posted was at work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
APNs seem right from what I can remember.

I think you either have a SIM problem, a tower problem, or data hasn't been activated properly on your account. I'd give it another full day (T-Mo can be slow to activate fully), and if its not working, call and tell them your phone's data speed is extremely slow. They can try to reset it on their end (or send new SIM) or check for a tower issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ackliph:
Did you get the 200MB plan and use it all up? Because they throttle you when you use it all up. Them look like throttled speeds to me.

Or maybe, they are throttling you by mistake...

Also, have you restarted your phone?

Power it off for a bit. Pull the battery... then start it back up. I've seen that fix MANY things, and it's easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
I have the 30 dollar 5gb data 100 mins unlim text.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Really just think T-Mobile needs to finish the activation and the speeds will be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ackliph:
Looks like everything is as it should be. T-Mobile Monthly4G tech support is nice... but difficult to understand. I'd keep my hopes up. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
OK. I'll leave it for a few days and if its still not working I'll give em a call. Once again thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
So its been about three days and its still the same. I flashes a few different radio firmwares and I found one that will give me anywhere from .1 to .3Mbps down. I have opened a ticked with T-Mobile thinking it may be the tower(s) in my town. Haven't heard back yet but I want to keep this updated. If it doesn't work out I will probably end up going with an at&t mnvo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1DDriver:
The same things is with my phone. Three days since activation and data speeds are 1x slow. It's time to play with radios
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoMaMa7467:
I've tried more radios than I can count. So I ordered an st att sim and got it activated today. There is a huuuge difference from .05 tmo to 3.5 att st so I guess even if coverage is good and they say its fine there are some places where the actual back haul of the network is seriously lacking. If it still doesn't work for you go ahead and try a different provider. Made a world of difference for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
So i still cant get my phone rooted.

I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.

Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.

I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again:) Any Mod suggestion would be great to.

Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?

Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...

If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.

I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.

So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead??? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.

Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?

By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.

Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.

Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.

Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.

To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.

I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] svprm:
Are you on XP?

if yes,

Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.

It will install the drivers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.

I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
So i finally got my phones bootloader unlocked. i used this link to get it done. http://xperiadev.wordpress.com/guidelines-xperia/unlock-bootloader/

So now is the question what next to get my cyanogenmod on my phone.. Am a little scared because i heard that the version i hvae can easily be bricked.

Any ideas.? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ricco7:
Just install custom rom using cwm and dont forget to backup first your current rom using cwm. Later if got any problem and u can just restore it back. ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Horgyboy:
That was my plan too as i have done the same on my tab. Place cwm and rom on phone and then boot in recoverymode to install rom.. But for some reason my phone wont go in any kind of boot mode.. Tried all the buttons and nothing works.. Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] geri.st:
hey there,

i read some threads, and i asked what the easiest way was to root my tf700 with 4.1.1, without needing a unlocked bootloader, i only need root!

would it be this way:

[TIP] Downgrade from JB to 0.30 works!

then i should be able to root with debugfs

and then keep rooted when update to jb

is this correct? and the bootloader won't be touched? cause i want to keep my warranty (just received the asus ;) ) and i don't need more than root.

or is there an easier way? (without unlocking bootloader)

hope so could give me some piece of advice!

geri.st
[Asus Transformer TF700] tbtaf:
Easiest method that I am aware of is downgrade to .30, root, use voodoo root to temporarily unroot, upgrade to JB, use voodoo to restore root. Hope it works!
[Asus Transformer TF700] geri.st:
so pretty much what i wrote... only including voodoo root! did it work properly for you?
[Asus Transformer TF700] houtx2:

Hats off to them!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pogibry:
I was too lazy to go that far. I downloaded the ASUS Firmware update, ran that so I could get the JB Firmaware. Then I got the TWRP recovery image and pushed it to my tablet in fastboot (Word to the wise, I had to use that weird -i 0xx50b command or whatever it was in order to get the ADB shell to recognize the tablet), rebooted to be safe, copied over the ROM I wanted to my SD, rebooted into recovery and voila! Don't know if this will work for everybody, but it worked for me ;D

Yea you are right. it is the proximity sensor. I didn't realize this existed and was cleaning the screen and it kept turning on and couldn't figure out what i was doing to get this to happen lol. .

Settings > motion control > quick view in case anyone wants to turn it on/off

Drains a lot battery imo..as proximity sensor keeps on when screen is off..

So I have a 16b micro sd card that came with my OG Droid 2 years ago. I formatted it with fat32 and exfat and trying both still cant be read by my S3. If I insert it in, the S3 doesnt read anything (and no trace of any sd card being there). I also have another 16gb sd card that is class 4 and it also cant be read. I know both SD cards are working fine because they still work on my Droid but for some reason it wont on my S3.

Could it be because I partitioned both cards? I've already formatted it and got rid of the partition so idk. And whats weird is that my 2gb sd card from like 4 years ago works and is readable on my S3. Could someone help?

Anyone get a solution to this? Just bought a brand new 32GB class 10 MicroSD, I formatted exFAT and NTFS using my computer but NTFS isn't read on the card and exFAT keeps getting the "unexpectedly removed" notification every 5 seconds...

Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to root, and unlock my phone cause my windows couldn't run bat files for some reason...

Make sure your rom isnt CM based

I have had a hell of a weekend trying to get my new 64gb card recognised by my SGS3 after swapping from Omega rom to AOKP. Turns out roms based on Cyanogen Mod dont recognise exFAT formatted cards and so corrupt them. I eventually managed to reformat my card using EaseUS partition manager but my phone still wont recognise it. Im going to flash back to Omega 31.1 in the morning and hopefully solve most of the problems. I know the card works fine because after formating it my Acer A500 recognises it, as does my PC. Problems is my phone isnt recognising any MicroSd cards now, so hopefully havent busted it or ill have to flash back to stock rom and swap it out at Tesco's.
