I have been using orDroid ROM for a long time and it was great. Then came version 10.0.0 which changed the base from 3.14.401.20 to 3.14.401.22 and this issue arised. After flashing the new version, my One X did not have signal, could not use WIFI or bluetooth. I went to settings and found out airplain mode was turning off. After 30 minutes I checked and it was still trying to turn off the airplane mode. I made a full wipe istallation, and it was still the same. In order to doucle check I tried with the Renovate ROM version 9.0.0 and had the same problem. I then flashed Renovate 9.2.0 which has base 3.14.401.20 and my phone is working again.

:confused:

Anyone having the same problem? Any ideas on how to update and aviod having this issue? Maybe someone can help posting on the dev threads fr those roms, since I still don't have the 10 required posts?

Thank you

:eek:

Erase the cache partition before and after flashing the rom. Also make sure you are flashing the correct boot.img with each rom.

Well, I'm pretty sure I registered in 2012, since I just got a One X and had no idea of the Android OS. :p

By the way, I just figured out what the problem was. Look like I was still on hboot 1.28, upgrading to 1.31 solved the issue and all my ROMs run smooth as butter in a hot pan :laugh:

Thank you guys for the answers!

LMAO. I do not necessarily condone nor support copyright infringement. I do, however, do not support copyright trolls. Copyright trolls are basically law firms strong-arming "alledged" infringers by extorting payments from them in exchange for NOT filing a lawsuit. They get a name from an ISP and then start the extortion process. they have no idea who the actual infringer is.

This not only goes on today, but also goes way back to directv hacking days when directv was extorting settlements out of people that purchased legal products online. "Infringers" had the choice of paying a couple of grand to settle the suit or fight it costing them upwards of $10k for legal services.

Well this is going on today with copyrights and the RIAA and MPAA.

Here is how one website trolled the trolls!!! LOL

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Uamore6:
Hey all, this is a thread I saw on different forum and think it is would be good for noobs like myself to benefit from. How to undervolt your CPU and also post your Galaxy Note 2 specific results. I have tried these next steps, and so far I'm doing okay (can't give an accurate results on battery life yet). Like I said (I'm not ashamed to say I'm a noob) but if others can throw their two cents in, we can all learn and this thread can be useful. The next part was cut and paste d from other forum. And I deleted the url for the kernel and root

Prerequisites:

1. Must be rooted and recommended kernel

2. Download and install System Tuner

3. Download and install Stability Test

Steps:

1. Open System Tuner and select CPU

2. Drag the slider shown in the picture to overclock or underclock CPU. In this picture we are overclocking to 1.8ghz

3. Select Voltage at the top to get to CPU voltage settings.

4. Ok, here select the buttons as they are in the picture.

a. Select the Green circled button to save current stock default settings.

b. Select the Yellow circled button 4 times exactly to reduce the millivolts by 100.

Stability Testing:

Now we really should make sure that it can handle it under load right? :silly:

1. Open Stability Test and select CPU+GPU Stability Test.

2. Select Full Details - Proceed.

3. The app will now start stressing your cores. I waited until at least 10 cpu passes before quiting the app...

Cliffnotes:

-By default, your settings will revert back after you restart your phone. You can set them to load at boot, but don't do this unless your absolutely sure that they're stable!

Open System Tuner - CPU - Menu key - Settings - Active Tweaks - Reapply CPU Settings - On Boot Completed

-Whenever i tried to lower the mv more than 100 below stock at 1.8ghz, my phone rebooted

-I am in no way responsible for anything that might happen after performing the above, even if you start your sentence with the word "but"

-here's stock settings in case you need to revert

This is an interesting project but I would think that the average user would not need this as battery life is pretty good. Speaking for myself, I am able to get through the whole day without any issues.

Of course there might be other reasons why someone would want to do this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hoankhiem:
Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
from what i've read, undervolting save very little battery time as the processors are pretty efficient anyways. i don't have actual numbers, but i'd guess you'd get a few extra minutes - which some may really need.

it's that freaking gargantuan screen that sucks the most juice. there used to be a mod to undervolt displays. they had it working on an OG galaxy tab. i never really seen it used anywhere else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjisanandres:
I have an international version of galaxy note 2. I'm currently using AllianceROM and Perseus kernel. And my stock voltage is way way higher than yours. Like 1400mV mine, 913mV yours. Can I undervolt my note 2 to same specifications like yours? Thanks.

You is 1400 mV on 200 MHz? It's probabky 1400 on 1.6 ghz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ro@dkill:
I also have Perseus kernel overclocked but still have great battery life. Thanks for the tip though might try it and compare the difference just in case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbelthazor:
I agree with DocEsq.. It is interesting indeed, but is it really necessary?

Can you overclock it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjisanandres:
My note 2 seems to be charging forever after undervolting. I'm talking for about 6-7hrs charging time here. What seems to be the problem? I'm using Perseus kernel. TIA!:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
I once conducted a test with my evo3d. I basically ran an amp meter inline with the battery. Measuring the exact power consumption. I dont remember the exact specs, but undervolting and underclocking my phone compared to stock made a very minute difference in actual power consumption. A difference of about 8-15ma. This was during a CPU full load scenario for about 10 seconds. Even loading the CPU with the screen off to take as many variables out as possible it was very little difference. During normal operarion the power consumed was virtually identical.

So the 2 to 3% of the day (overall time) your phone is actually under HEAVY load, it won't make much difference. It did make a performance impact. So not much benefit, just reduced performance.

Now overclocking and/or overvolting did make a larger difference in consumption at high constant load.

Want to ACTUALLY make a large impact on your battery life? Make sure you don't have any apps preventing your phone from sleeping and run the absolute lowest screen brightness you can stand.

YMMV.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Action B:
The benefit I found from undervolting isn't better battery life, it's reduced heat which in heavy use provides better performance due to no cpu throttling. I'm running 1800mhz using less battery than 1600mhz and with same temps as stock. Very stable, been running this for a month now at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
What app did you use to undervolt?

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sparytrainor:
I'm using the stweaks app that comes with perseus kernel.. I've undervolted quite a bit and I get better battery life.. Still not quite as good as I had stock, but definitely a lot better for being over clocked.. I just reduce each level to the level below it and run for a few to check stability and keep going from there.. So far I have had no trouble at all with undervolting.. Certainly nothing like I did with my elte.. Here's where I've been for almost a week as well as today's battery results so far with Pandora playing over 3 hours straight and moderate use..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
Yeah, just to let you know that there certainly isn't a linear correlation between undervolting and underclocking and power usage. That might have been the case in simpler times, but with modern multi-core microprocessors, you might actually be decreasing battery life by screwing with your clock rate or voltage. Yes, the defaults err on the side of caution, but it's a whole lot of work for little to no gain.

For example, by reducing your phone's clock rate, you might actually be forcing your phone to be spending more time at load; thereby not allowing it to fallback to its sleep state. There is also something called the power wall, where an increase in operating frequency requires an exponential increase in power. However, the reverse is also true. It can be counter-intuitive to think of it this way, so a practical example is how on a 100 mile trip, a 25 mpg sedan saves 4 gallons of gasoline over a 12.5 mpg SUV. However, over the same distance a 50 mpg hybrid saves only 2 gallons over the 25 mpg car. By that same logic, a mythical 100 mpg vehicle would only save 1 gallon of fuel. It's the law of diminishing returns. Then of course, there are the stability issues that you should take into account.

There is a lot that happens behind the scenes regarding power management. Your phone is capable of intelligently scaling it's processors, voltages, and frequencies up or down all based on current and expected demand. There are people who spend a lot more time doing this for a living, and the idea that you can do it better is probably a falsehood. If you want MOAR POWER, by all means overclock/overvolt it (just don't fry it), but trying to get an extra couple minutes of run time is likely a waste of some hard work. It's the software that kills your battery, not the hardware.

Talking about computer architecture can be complicated and boring, but start with searches on "rise time" and "logic level transitions" if you want to want more background.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Interesting... whenever I'm dling using a torrent client my phone gets a nasty fever and I've gotta set it down somewhere as it will literally make me sweat, lol. I do b there think I'll be undervolting just for that specific circumstance but that is a very interesting concept...

Like the way you put that. Good analogies there it just seems like the other day that undervolting was the hip thing to do. Technology just moves at such a wonderful pace though. Just one little FYI though, since i do like you analogy i would like to point out that the law of diminishing returns actually refers to something else entirely. I know, I know, nitpicking, but it's just that everyone is always off the mark with that one and, well I guess I'm just an anal ahole (and an economics major, ,which I guess just overall makes me an a hole, ,lol)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Action B:
If you have ever pulled apart a laptop and saw how much thermal paste the engineers at the factory "designed" for their to be on there, or seen the air/fuel ratio most cars roll off the lot with, or ever replaced an intake in a vehicle with a high performance unit I'm not sure you would feel the same way about you yourself not being to do a better job.

I get the point, and I believe often there is validity to that point, but sometime things just aren't that simple. This is where power gains come from in tuning a car (which i do). This is where efficiency is raised by removing restrictive components in a vehicle (intake, exhaust, etc) and where cooling performance is increased on a CPU with the proper application of a quality thermal paste.

Whenever time is money, and you are deciding between your bottom line and something that works and something that works as well as it can, shortcuts are made and corners are cut. Perhaps they could have spent another 200 hours for the team to absolutely optimize the processor for each device, but the cost would have been an additional $20,000 dollars. This is not always the case, but with processors I think it is. I will undervolt everytime and I do take objective measures for battery and I agree gains are relatively small. For cooling, I found the difference to be very significant at 1800, mhzI didn't check at 1600mhz, however. I can run a full Antutu benchmark as much as I want at room temperature and never exceed the throttling point (70 C if i remember correctly). Now, I am in no way saying these are facts, these are opinions, so I could be wrong of course.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
The TIM wasn't put on there by the engineers who designed the chips; they are put there by workers being paid next to nothing.

Your phone doesn't have a CPU, it doesn't even use thermal paste; it's usually just a rubber contact patch and passive heat dissipation. This actually brings another point where overclocking can sometimes reduce performance due to throttling by thermal constraints (why our phone has such a low GPU rate than what it is capable of in other phones with better thermal envelopes).

You aren't replacing the SoC, you are changing the software that determines how to set the voltage/clock multiplier. The car analogy isn't valid.

And I stand corrected regarding the Law of Diminishing Returns; never paid attention in macro-econ. I think was because my prof. was more interested in forcing his political ideology upon us than actually teaching the subject. :silly:

EDIT: Keep in mind, the engineers rarely get what they want. The product the consumer ends up getting is usually dictated through a collaboration of what the business and marketing teams want. The engineer might request a large cooler clamp with a perfectly lapped surface and a carbon-based TIM. In reality, the consumer gets a dinky fan with melt-on TIM and retention springs. Money talks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Action B:
1. The voltages are set by an engineer, that is what I was referring to.

2. The CPU thing was an analogy as was the car. Not a direct comparison. The analogy is referring to how there is set fuel and timing tables just like there is set voltage tables, both might not be the most efficient from the factory, tweaking them can improve things. How is this completely not valid?

Anyone have any idea if the S4 Property has been overclocked on other devices (Nexus 4).

What frequency do you want to see the DNA pushed to?

P.S. This phone doesn't need it but why not, right?
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
I used to push other processors, but I wouldn't even touch the processor inside this thing. Not even a thought in my head to overclock it. Even when I root it and flash another rom, I wouldn't touch the processor speed on this thing. Heck if I can underclock it to 1.2ghz and save battery life even more I would do that, lol
[HTC Droid DNA] g.davis17:
Agreed that it doesn't need it. But I'm curious what the limits of this prossesor are.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Well usually with the ability to overcllock comes underclocking and profiles which is good maximize performance and battery which is always good

You need to flash your phone to re-install the firmware... now you can choose, or the method that we have to flash kdz files, or the Official LG Tool (basically the same...)

Hi all,

I have two phones with the mtk6577 chipset both of them are htc one x clones, I'm using them in the uk on the three network

I use lattitude quite a bit but some some reason both the phones keep locating to the same place in wolverhampton 99miles away from my actual location, the only time this doesn't seem to happen is when im at home or at work,

Wifi is always switched on, and i have turned mock locations off in the developers option, what else can i try ??

GPS will change it but as soon as its turned off it goes straight back to the same location in wolverhampton

Hello people!

I have not long been using AOKP for very long, but i can say overall i love it, i have a few issues though.

I am aware of course it is a unofficial ROM and to expect it to run perfectly would be ridiculous and i was hoping if anybody had experienced anything similar and had any solutions?...

- My headphone jack has 100% stopped working since installing is ROM, i even reinstalled an old backup of MIUIv4 and it was working fine so it defiantly isn't the hardware.

- Black screen notifications, if i received an IM like whatsapp or even a SMS my led would light up and the screen backlight will turn on but its just a black screen?

- Fail to unlock screen first time around, now this doesn't happen all the time, maybe 30-40% of the time, but ill press the unlock button... the backlight will turn on but again its just a black screen, so i have to re-lock and unlock again and it will 100% work the second time... its kind of annoying.

Other than that the ROM works fine for me, i really don't want to lose the JB OS... is there a stable alternative maybe? or hopefully a simple fix.

By the way is based on their latest build.

Thanks!
