[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck_dexter_haven:
We have a Service with some threads dedicated to network communication. It's heartbeat-type traffic - a quick request-response a couple of times a second with small amounts of data. The problem is that a thread sometimes just stops being run for 20 or more seconds when a network request is made (that's based on calling System.currentTimeMillis() at the start and finish of the network request, and I know from measurements on the server side that the request was completed in a fraction of a second).

The advice out there suggests setting thread priorities using the Android-specific API and/or the pure Java API. It also suggests poking the service into the foreground with notifications, because Android favours foreground processes. I've tried the thread priorities, doesn't work. I'm currently trying the foreground notification trick, I don't know yet if it solves the problem.

Even if any of those techniques happen to work, it stil seems brittle - the kind of thing that could stop working with a hardware change or operating system upgrade. Is there any way of telling Android that a given thread is important enough to get attention a few times a second, and to have it treated as a requirement and not as a suggestion?

This isn't a general release application that needs to be a good citizen and let other apps have their turn: we're running it on a tablet that's dedicated just to running this application, and that we can modify in any way that's required to support the application.

Have you come across this problem before? What do you suggest?

Thanks.

Not trying to sound noobish but need assistance on this Unlock Method that was posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982&page=1

Using the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 version, the method worked however here is the dilemma.

I pre-emptively ordered an unlock code from an unlocking site. However, I stumbled across the above thread this morning and performed the procedure which worked and switched over to T-Mobile Prepaid. Given I heard T-Mobile is "re-farming" their network now, I am getting EDGE speeds. I've tried several different APN settings I've found online however it does not assist at all, when I run SpeedTest it comes up with an almost 500ping with .10mbs down and .10mbs up.

I'm looking to revert the procedure, which I went through the "common sense" method of going back in and doing the procedure to cut the "lock" back "on" however when rebooting the device still picks up the T-Mobile SIM and goes right back to their network, preventing me from accessing the Network Code Screen because I would like to go ahead and enter the unlock code I paid for just to have things done the "legit" method.

Things I've noticed on other forums about this method used. After doing so when you have no sim installed it will come up with a no sim card installed alert however I'm showing full bars even when a sim card is not installed.

One thing I have not tried was to reinstall my StraightTalk sim then performing the procedure to see if that will kick it back, will try later this evening and update this thread to show results.

Please help?

[Galaxy S III General] ruskin0611:
The rules on this forum aren't well observed and I have to mention this, cause I find it sooo funny (or maybe "IRONIC") that things like this happen on this site. I am particularly talking about the Omega ROM Series thread...

I have literally read all 3950+ pages of the Omega thread and the same question (since the upgrade from Omega 34 to 35) has been asked over and over again (with some people still patiently answering it, whilst others are getting frustrated).

Can't believe that these people are allowed to post in that thread, but because I don't have 10 posts, I can't.... Seems a bit ludicrous to me, that people are allowed to post questions over and over without first searching or reading (as per the rules), but stupid rules (like not being able to post in a developer thread unless you have 10 posts) are enforced. Especially when I have been on this site for around 9 months (but just haven't signed up before or posted anything).

Very frustrating, especially since I have a question that I haven't read in the 3950+ pages and haven't found when searching, but I can't ask it... AAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Sorry, needed to vent (plus it adds another post, unless a moderator deems this as inflammatory and deletes it)...
[Galaxy S III General] mchlbenner:

[Galaxy S III General] ruskin0611:

Thanks... Interesting that people are finding this thread to be spam (not sure I would have defined it that way, but I guess if that's how it's being taken, then I must apologise)..
[Galaxy S III General] stefankorun:
This is not a spam this is a personal opinion.

I think that that kind of people are a must have on a forum that is this popular. Now everyone can find out with a single search that xda can make your phone wonderful or answer a lot of the questions you have. My opinion is to ignore them until they realize that they cannot get the info that way.
[Galaxy S III General] ruskin0611:
Thanks mate. I knew this thread was always going to invoke a reaction (and probably guilty of posting inflammatory comments, so technically may not be within the rules), but at least it's helping my post count (until a moderator deletes them)...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
It would seem that they were enforced, but they aren't enforced that strongly. It's because the moderators and admins have personal lives too, so they can't spend every living second here monitoring what we do and that we behave as is expected of us.

The 10-post rule isn't something they have to watch over. It's an automatic limit lifted only when the user has accumulated 10 or more posts,
[Galaxy S III General] Crowds:
Hey there ;)

True and not true :D

I remember perfectly when it was implemented, or rather why.

If memory serves me correctly, at the end of last year, early this year, the system of 10 posts was implemented precisely to avoid situations similar to the one described.

If on one hand there are people of good sense, regardless of how many posts written, it is also true that it is easier for a beginner, put the same questions repeatedly over and over again.

Unlike other "pseudo" members, when there is someone who draws attention to something that, in the opinion of the writer is incorrect, I think this kind of feedback is very welcome. If there isn´t members who express their sincere and correctly their thoughts, guaranteed that this space would not be what it is today.

respects ;)

[Galaxy S III General] iampun33t:
Same situation dude.

I have been a follower of XDA since last 3-4 years but hadnt joined till now. I bought my first android device about 3 years ago and stumbled upon XDA to know the meaning of rooting..!!! Since that time I have had numerous Android Devices and have had numerous roms for each device. I recently joined and was in a developer forum when I found a post annoying enough to comment on, but when I wanted to, XDA wouldnt let me. I had to have 10 posts. It was so frustrating, (the 10 posts rule) that I didnt visit XDA for days. But who can stay away..?? I came back and am now trying to have my 10 posts so that I can too post in developer forums.

I would like to add that there are many developers like myself, who are good at what they do. but just for the reason that they are new to join the site, but not actually new to the site, they have limited access. I hope this restriction can be waivered by some option. Like a multiple choice quiz..;););)..???;)
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
How hard is it to post 10 times. Just go on anything and add an opinion and ignore it.. LOL at least that is what i did..
[Galaxy S III General] iampun33t:
Its not hard I know. Its just simply frustrating. Having to post 10 times before being able to post in developer forums and Having to wait 5 mins before next post.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Why would u make thid useless thread??!
[Galaxy S III General] Andy:
Why would you post in this "useless thread"?

OP: I think I can address some of your concerns. As Theshawty points out, humans do the moderating and the "system" bars new users.

If I had my way, registration would be by application only or every post was hidden until approved by a moderator, but alas I'm not in charge, yet.

In instances where the same, repeat posters are ignoring developer requests & subsequent moderator warnings, they will eventually be banned. The process leading upto the ban is quite lengthy, its also detailed here --> http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/banning-policy-revealed/

This is to ensure users are given a chance to stop.

While the 10 post restriction can be frustrating, its there to protect XDA from spambots. Which has dropped significantly since its introduction.

If you see the same individual users asking the same repeated questions, hit the report button. Tell us, in as much detail. Each report is actioned by a moderator. There are 8 of us covering Samsung International handsets, we will get to it and take appropriate action.

As we're human we cannot see every post by every user in every thread. We rely on the community (you) to help shape it and keep it clean.

Thanks

/apologies for the text wall.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
Because if we wanted to read the rules we would click on the rules and read them when we signed up... common sense mate
[Galaxy S III General] rekenaar00:
This is a very useful thread, my post count just increased :good:

Would be nice if the system could rather look at a user's "search count", or "read count". But I guess it could be tricky to configure/code that.

My point, similar to OP, I must have read more than 80% of the 2883 posts in Sotmax's ROM thread, and as a result I was able to flash and use within minutes. Been using it for more than a week, yet I am not allowed to post in his thread.

It seems counterproductive to force 10 useless posts for someone who has clearly spent a lot of time on the forum. And I understand the reasoning as explained earlier in this thread, hence my suggestion to refine the rules, if at all possible from a technical and resource point of view.

Merry Christmas all :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
XDA has a system in place to prevent duplicate threads but duplicate questions within threads I imagine is a lot harder to pull off. Also those that look at the 10 post limit as 10 useless posts should reconsider what XDA is here for. It's not hard to make 10 posts.. move around the forums, ask a question, offer advice or a suggestion here and there.. its not hard to hit 10. Its that way for a reason ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ruskin0611:
Thanks mate.

Totally agree... Have been developing (in other technologies) for over 20 years. Am a relative noob when it comes to Android development, but used to own the LG-P990 and was on Owain's thread for a while. There were some issues that came up in that thread quite a bit, which no-one had an answer for, but I had a fix for some of them. Of course, I couldn't post it, so was tempted to sign up then. Gotten to the point, where I think I can offer some advice, so decided I had better start posting some stuff so I could help out (and also tap into the wealth of knowledge in these forums to get help as well)...
[Galaxy S III General] Andy:
And now you're back down to 7. If your going to spam a thread with 5-6 consecutive post to increase your post count, try not to pick one where a moderator has posted. Hit the multi quote button. No need for 6 separate posts.
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
See the rules could be better arranged and also looked at.

I meannthe most obvious rules i see around is the whole ' no postingnin off-topic to get your ten post' rules.

Yet the mods clearly state that you are aloowed to post in the 'say hi thread' which is in off-topic.

Seems abit of a wrong rule really.

Anyone agree?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
My view is that the ten post rule should only apply to original development .

After all most us non original roms and whats the real point apart from spam .

Post 8 times and unable to ask an intelligent question but become a 12 poster and ask as many stupid repetitive questions as you want .

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Camp:
So I have read through the thread on creating a CM10 SD card. I have also read a couple of threads on root etc.

I am interested in doing some research and demo of an HD+ and want to be able to go into a B&N or a BB and boot to a micro card I bring with me to test a few apps.

Is it possible to do something like that, or do I have to "build" the card on a device? If someone has a working image of a card I could download that would be perfect.

My overall intention is to then use my wifi hotspot, install dolphin and dice and do some web surfing tests as well as stream video tests.

Want to see how the unit stacks up to my Acer a500. I have played with a demo unit in BB and was able to surf via the built in browser and youtube but I want apples to apples comparison since that is what I am familiar with.

I use my acer 2-4 hours a day for video, surfing, etc and its getting a little old and slow these days.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do have to boot the SD in a device one time to get the card to partition itself. Then adding the CM10 and gapps can be done at home with a Mac or Linux. Then you can take it back to the store to boot again to finish installing. Then you can run it there.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Camp:
Based on that, then if someone could provide an image of a working micro card, I could use that, correct?

Anyone want to PM me with a download? I just need this to run some quick like for like comparisons before I pull the trigger!!!

If its easier, I am even willing to send a 4 or 8gig micro and a return label to someone and have them make a copy and send it back to me.

Thanks

Hey I just purchased the optimius g for att and am thinking about exchanging it for the ahd since it has jb now and its only a penny at best buy.. Just wondering if anybody else has switched and regretted it or are happy with their decision?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neroga:
Haven't messed with the Optimus G. But the battery life on the AHD is superb with the EB40. Can't speak for everyone, but I've had absolutely no performance or battery issues with it. The lack of an unlocked bootloader kinda sucks but stock feels so clean. It's a matter of opinion.

Sent from my Jellybeaned Atrix HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] centipedes:
Optimus G is nexus 4 without the thermal issues. since you're considering the atrix hd I assume you don't care too much about roms, so that shouldn't be an issue.

in short, don't do it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] wamsille:
The Optimus G and Atrix HD share a common thread - development and the lack thereof. You won't see a plethora of hacks out there for them nor should you expect to. Go with the device that, for you, provides the most bang for your buck. The Atrix is crippled by low internal memory that cannot be fixed without rooting.
[Motorola Atrix HD] xXckkillerXx:
Atrix HD is a awesome device with lack of rom development, that is the only issue I have.
[Motorola Atrix HD] rcklss1:
Thanks guys sorry I couldn't get back to anybody yesterday... I do like to flash ROMs but mainly to get to a stock like feel.. the ahd pretty much already has that for me.. I usually only have about a a gig of apps... even now with all my apps back on the phone... music and videos I still have 2gigs of internal memory left.. I liked the OG but I hated the Ui and the glass back cracking from temperature change was something I didn't want to deal with so I made the exchange. I would like root to get rid of the bloat instead of just disabling though.. is that achievable with jb yet? Other than that the only thing I plan on doing is the eb40 swap and I should be happy for now lol...

So I left my phone on the energizer qi wireless charger last night and when I woke up and grabbed my phone it was super hot and I couldn't turn it on for about 5 minuets.

[HTC Droid DNA] Cdoan34:

I have Nokia charger when phone charging it little bit hot when reach 100% phone stop charging my phone stay warm I think your phone not stop charging when reach 100% that why your phone hot

I'm thinking that's what happened its just weird because it was extremely hot and it never has done it before.. I'm only gonna use it for short periods of time now.
[HTC Droid DNA] kronikings:
Same thing keeps happening to me. In the middle of the night I woke up to hear my phone beeping. I think it was so hot it was beeping. I took it off the wireless charger and it was only at 15%. I think this has something to do with Cubed kernel not playing nicely with the wireless charger. I have no facts to support this but that's what I think. My phone was at 118 degrees and beeping. Obviously I shouldn't use my wireless charger when I sleep anymore..

I received new Defy XT Dec. 17 from Republic Wireless and wanted to move as many apps as possible to SD card without rooting as discussed elsewhere.

However, after enabling USB debugging on the phone (Settings - Applications - Development) and connecting the phone to the computer with the USB cable here is the message when I type command "adb devices".

adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Apparently my Defy is not recognized and of course no other adb commands work. I'm not using Windows. I'm using Linux, Ubuntu 12.10. I've used adb successfully on same computer with Acer Iconia A100 Tab. Attached file contains pertinent messages in syslog when usb cable from Defy is connected to computer. Any help with why this device not recognized by adb would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Note II General] AndreiLux:
Removing either read or write permissions will kill the camera. I didn't see any other deterioration in anything else.

My guess the best fix would be to limit the access to the DMA memory spaces which this thing actually needs, the definition of the different CMA areas are in /arch/arm/mach-exynos/mach-midas.c for the S3 and N2.

Front camera for example:

#ifndef CONFIG_USE_FIMC_CMA
{
.name = "fimc1",
.size = CONFIG_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_MEMSIZE_FIMC1 * SZ_1K,
#if defined(CONFIG_MACH_GC1)
.start = 0x5ec00000,
#else
.start = 0x65c00000,
#endif
},
#endif

Generally all memory areas allocated through s5p_cma_region_reserve in /arch/arm/plat-s5p/reserve_mem.c would be treated as exceptions and everything else needs to be blocked.

Update: Low-level kernel fix for developers posted here.

A kernel based fix as I posted above is the only method to fix the security hole while also not breaking the camera. In all other cases if you are not able or willing to flash a kernel, use Chainfire's application.
