His priorities are all off. He is looking at it as a hardware engineer and not a user. All we are worried about is extra performance, enough stability that we can't tell the odd hiccup from all the software bugs we hit, and long life from the hardware. If my CPU makes a bug in a game, its not the end of the world, if it starts to irritate me I can reduce the clocks a bit. He makes it out as though it is an inevitability, that is not true. It is also not a degrading situation. It does not hurt the hardware to make an error and once you are past the maximum stable speed for your voltage they produce them at random with the frequency depending on how far past the limit you are. Also, the ideal overclock produces ZERO errors and only reduces chip life span in sofar as it is able to do more work over a shorter period of time. Most chips have quite a bit of headroom even at the stock voltage before they start producing any errors at all. My phone has been running for months at 1.9ghz, if there have been any errors they were indiscernible from software errors. My desktop has been running at a 60% overclock for 3 year, when tested it can run for days at full load without any errors.

As for overheating the chip, a little common sense goes a long way there and its going to be pretty hard to do without a poor hardware design or increased voltages. Personally I limit my cell phone overclocking to the highest speeds I can achieve without increasing the stock voltage because I have no way to monitor the temperature and do not know if there are thermal protections built in.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_killed:
I have plenty of experience rooting devices and this is a first for the Kindle HD 7". I started already having problems before I even thought of rooting it. Anyhow, let's cut to the chase.

All I did was root using ADB to push su and the Superuser apk, then I installed the Google Play app and changed the build.prop in order to install 'incompatible apps', then cleared the cache and cleared data for the framework and Google Apps. I restarted by turning off the device and then of course, turning it back on only to find a 'Kindle Fire' logo Boot Loop..

I would appreciate any advice

I rooted my phone, and tried using WiFi Tether, Wireless Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and Open Garden, but none of them work. Most throw an error of some sorts, while one just force closes and the other starts with no errors, but when I attempt to connect it shows as an ad-hoc rather than a network, and won't let me access the internet.

Do we need a modified kernel to get this to work properly?
[HTC Droid DNA] Swifty31703:
WiFi Tether works. I get an error on start up sometimes. To inconveniently get it working sometime I have to go into SuperSU and select WiFi Tether then click save. Start up WiFi Tether after that and it works fine.

Settings:

Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Netd-Ndc (master)

Routing fix

Other people might have better fixes but this works for me until I run across a better fix.
[HTC Droid DNA] huskerfan431:
Not sure if you saw this but check out this thread:

Tethering

I just tried it and it works like a charm.

To get it working:

1.) Install: WiFi Tether

2.) Go to settings WIFI -> Device-Profile and pick Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

3.) Then go to LAN section by scrolling down and check "Routing fix" (also under settings)

Screw data share!! FREE WIFI FOR EVERYONE!! :D

THIS WORKED GREAT FOR ME. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR POST.:laugh::good:
[HTC Droid DNA] credemann:
Run my data use up on my Verizon bill?

I have a data shared plan so will using this app run my data up?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Obviously. It uses your data to make a WiFi signal.
[HTC Droid DNA] credemann:
I may have worded my question wrong. Will Verizon charge me for the data?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Not any extra charges than using data regularly. But if you tether 7 gigs of data on a 6 gig data plan you will be charged for the overage.
[HTC Droid DNA] credemann:
Thanks! This answers my question.

I had a DROID Razr and used the "entitlement_check”" method with SQLite Editor and this method allowed the data being used with Verizon's Mobile Hotspot not to count against my data plan. I am looking for a way do the same with my Note 2. Anyone know of any Apps or leads on how to accomplish this?

My Note 2 is rooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
Are you sure? This doesn't sound right.

There's just no way that you can magically access data network and not let it count. Sure your device won't be the one using it 1st hand, but something is receiving and transmitting data through your phone's connection and I'm sure Verizon will know data is being used.
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
Not sure why you are hanging out in the DNA forums, when you a note 2 .... but anyways, on to your question ...

It sounds like when you got your Note 2, you switched to a shared data plan. With that plan, you should be able to use the built-in wifi hotspot, without any issues except one: it will come out of your data bucket.

When you had the Droid Razr, the sqlite change merely made it so you could use the built in hotspot software w/o VZW checking to see if you paid for it, but it DID come out of your data bucket (but you were probably on an unlimited bucket at the time).
[HTC Droid DNA] Yakuzagang5:
He wasn't saying it doesn't charge for data, he's saying it doesn't charge data as being tethered data. For example, using Verizon's tethering app, that goes against a different limit, with an additional charge. With the wireless tether app, the data being used just goes against your regular phone data.
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
Ok, it still sounds off the way he's asking.
[HTC Droid DNA] credemann:
I am basing this on several road trips I made where my family used my DROID's hotspot to access the internet with a laptop and an iPad. I checked my data usage both on "My Verizon" widget and my bill and the data usage was not significantly higher than normal. Now, maybe the above method truly uses my data plan and I just did not notice a significant difference on my bill.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
so what if they know data is being used. The phone is capable of transferring any packet data on its own that a tethered device might generate so yes they might be able to tell but ive been tethering with root for years without ever subscribing to there proprietary tethering service and not once have they made a complaint or even mentioned it. 30gb + every month for 2-3 years FTW. I wouldn't be worried but i suppose its a personal choice. I pay for unlimited and the device is my property. How i utilize the two in concert should be my own decision.
[HTC Droid DNA] credemann:
Well this is what I found out.

1. Both methods to get free WiFi tether just keeps Verizon from "seeing" that you are not subscribed to the "Mobile Hotspot" feature.

2. Using either method uses data from your plan. If I have an 2 gig plan I will still get charged extra for data over 2 gig.

3. I thought either method hid my data usage from Verizon while tethering which would keep me under my plan's limit.

4. I am on a share everything plan so I can use the "Mobile Hotspot" feature w/o paying for its use but need to watch my data while tethering more closely.

5. Thankful for various threads that helped me figure all this out!
[HTC Droid DNA] Novakingwai:
What I was saying was that using a WiFi tether app will still use your data. To me it sounded like the guy was asking if he tethered that it wouldn't count against his data limit, which he was. I was telling him that there's no way it could work like that.
[HTC Droid DNA] jmjabberjaw:
Thanks works perfect

[HTC Droid DNA] ghstrdr1985:
Yes. Unless you are on an unlimited plan, or have an :eek: amount of money, then don't even bother with the tether. It'll burn through your data faster than you can :crying:.

[HTC One X] Zardox:
Hello guys.

I'v rooted my Phone and switching between rom sens 4.1.2 and cm10. But that's not the case.

I know that the hox can be hot some times. But i want to know how hot it can be?

Was playing a game and my Phone got to 46c°

Is it too hot?

Reagards zardox!
[HTC One X] Frggu:
The only hotter thing than the HOX is my girlfriend, bro.

Normally 46° is nothing for a piece of hardware, on its camera side there is a bit of overheat while using in games etc, but normally it won't get hot, just a bit warm.

Did you use a stock kernel for sense 4.1.2 and cm10? If yes, you shouln't worry about your smartphone getting to hot.
[HTC One X] Blackvibes:
I've gotten my HoX over 55 degrees C, without problems. Though.. When I reach that heat, I often stop playing games, since my fingers will get hurt quickly by then.

It wont matter that much, just make sure it won't happen 24/7 :)
[HTC One X] Jimboi2008:
will changing ROM or maybe flashing Custom ROm fix heating ? mine spiked up to 48-50c earlier while playing dragon slayer :(
[HTC One X] zuari@hotmail.com:
I had my htc one x go upto 49c. If u are using a case for ur hox I would suggest u to remove it when u feel ur phones getting too hot, this might help.

Prolonged high temperature might not damage ur phone but will reduce ur battery life cycle.
[HTC One X] treebill:
At 48 c is when the "overheat" green/red notification while charging starts, however most phone batteries are rated for ~60 c.
[HTC One X] Nightstalker1993:
you guys do know that 50~55c is actually the temperature of the battery right? The actual temperature of the processor can go beyond 75c. System Tuner can detect the CPU temperature.

The widget with the android logo is System Tuner showing CPU temp while the one next to it is Battery Monitor Widget showing battery temp. This was taken after 10 minutes of Glowball

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldTacoman:
Hi

I am looking for information on Rooting, updating to Jellybean and overclocking a recently purchased, factory refurb'ed Xoom.

First the refurb looks like new. Not a scratch. Works perfect and holds a charge.

Is there a good thread and/or instructions on how to root a Xoom and UNDERSTAND what I am doing. Even a book would be OK. I will read it. I have been through a couple of theads and have found a lot of fragmented information. I could probably get it done from what I have read but the understanding part would be lacking. I have used Clockwork Recovery to root a Nook but I just followed the cookbook and didn't fully understand the process. It was uncomfortable.

Anyway, could someone recommend a place to start? I am a self taught Unix user, so it is not completely ground zero. I am willing do the homework.

Also there seems to be a lot variables 3g/4g/Wi-Fi/Family edition. Mine is running 4.04 and apparently has not had the 4g mod done. I plan to use on wi-fi only. If someone could recommend a kernal that works well. I probably want to start with a stable version. I don't what to chase nightlies just now.

I appreciate any help. Just need a good first foot hold to work from.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
So ICS ROM been out for a while for our Ace, and I need to think from moving from GB to ICS, and i'm thinking if its really worth it?

I'm using a SGA with stocklitle 7.1 and BatteryExtender v1.2 and my battery lasts for like 1.5days sending sms to girlfriend and some friends plus some calls(rarely using internet). I still charge the phone every night.

I would like some sincere opinions if i should go to ICS, considerating I have a class 4 SD Card of 16gb and 116+ apps installed(using Link2SD).

SO I have some questions:

-How is battery life on ICS?

-Will the phone be slower?

-Is it true that on ICS apps use 100% SDcard and no more internal memory?

-Whats the most stable ICS ROM? (Like StockLitle is the most GB stable)

Thanks! Its really important!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Stay on GB, the ace wasn't meant to run smooth ICS in the first place. No ICS rom will provide the stability or battery life of stock based GB.

You can always make a nandroid backup, try ICS and just see if it is good for your daily usag. No amount of opinions beats personal experience when choosing a rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Thats done with CWM right?:) Will a "nandroid" backup save all my link2sd files etc or I have to re-link everything?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Yes, with cwm, and a nandroid backup will keep all links made with link2sd and all information in the partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE is brilliant, stable and fully functional. The only lag that occurs is after start up.

Battery life is great compared to other ICS ROMs (though I cannot compare to GB since its been months since I've used it).

Phone speed is improved.

Apps will not move 100% to the SD card. And never will.

It is however missing quicksearchbox.apk (downloadable) so persistent search will not work and the Google Search app is missing.

There is no equaliser. Certain versions of DSP Manager are reported to work though.

LWPs do not currently work as livewallpaperpicker.apk is missing
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahul93:
The lag after startup is always there for CM7 roms too, and apps will not move 100% to SD card because if it moves the apps will take long time to start up.

DSP manager works good but Wayland didnt include it !

LWPs too, PM wayland he will do the required !

Greetings Dear Awesome People of XDA-DEV forums,

I'm not a great fan of custom ROMs, to be honest I never tried one.. but lately my friends have been telling me how awesome custom ROMs are,

So I was thinking of flashing one and trying it out. However, I have a small concern.. is it safe? I mean.. I use my bank's application to transfer funds and stuff.. so I was wondering.. do these ROMs log our credentials and send back to the developers? Is it a possibility? I mean of course they would deny if we ask such a question but is it a possibility? Can my login information be logged in a custom ROM be sent to the developers?

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I must find out the truth before I flash a custom ROM.

Thanks,

From what i know today, the RAZR maxx hd is not as efficient as the original maxx because of the hd screen and snapdragon s4. Yeah i know that s4 is much faster and cooler to run, but from what i read around the Web, the s4 is actually consuming as much as previous s3, only more efficient(less heat). Talk time is, i think, should be more efficient though because of the integrated design with radio.
