[Galaxy Note II Accessories] noris08:
for me the signal strenght oscillate between 10 to 16 asu, with 1-14 average, with or without bumper, so i can conclude that the signal is more or less the same.

what does looks worse is the gps signal which keeps droping inside the building. i still didn't check it outside the building though
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bigdade:
I got the same one but in silver so I assume I can expect the same results.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
i never had much gps signal indoors so not much of a problem there.

but i did notice the signal strength drop was notable enough to increase battery drain as my device tried to use more power to boost the signal. normally my daily usage is quite consistent, to the point where i only use 20% of my battery after a 9 hour shift. with the aluminium bumper, i end up using 30% of my battery after a 9 hour shift.

im sure for people who get better signal strength, the loss in signal wont be noticeable at all. but for me, it was enough for me to go back to a tpu case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] INCREMENTAL:
I had a aluminum bumper and it killed my signal. I was in about a 3 bar 4G area and it would drop the signal down to 3G with 2 bars. My area has always been a solid 3G area. I took it off and on in numerous locations over and over and it was indeed the culprit. Now its sitting around collecting dust.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sparhawk6:
I do not recommend this bumper. I owned it for about 3 weeks, at which point the plastic bent and broke. Very cheap garbage.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] \/icious:
I like metal bumpers and have one because I use an extended battery but they do reduce signal to some degree gps included. This goes for every phone. Its not a hit or miss thing. As long as the antennas are located in the outside edge of the phone metal bumpers will reduce signal. I dont notice the hit in most places I go because I live in a pretty strong signal area but I really notice it in big buildings or heavy construction buildings. I do intend on modifying the bumper by cutting some slots in the top 2 corners to see if it alleviates some of the issue.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
cutting some slots in the top 2 corners wont help the issue much, mainly because in the note 2, the antenna is actually on the bottom, just below the speaker.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Hmmm. I wonder why this isn't happening to me on my Sweet Armor case. I haven't had any issues with signal even in areas some of my friends claim there isn't a strong signal at.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bigdade:
how is the sweet armor case? it looks awesome but a tad expensive for a bumper.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] \/icious:
the 4G and GPS antenna are located in the top 2 corners. the bottom antenna should be the 3G antenna. GPS defintely takes the biggest hit so thats what im most interested in. I have not decided if ill mod the bottom of the case and how.

It is happening. If you monitor the dbm you will see it.If you are getting 3-4 bars you are probably not going to notice it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] honki24:
I have an aluminum bumper case and didn't notice any signal attenuation but just be aware that the antennae are in the outer rim of the phone.

Hey guys...

I can't help but notice fps/crack/lag/stutter when i scroll through settings and i think it's time i share this because no matter what i do it's still there.

When i'm in the launcher,everything's so smooth but in settings it's bad..especially when comparing to cm10/10.1 where scrolling through settings is a breeze...

Have anyone else noticed this?How did you fix it?

Thanks. :)

Btw i'm on Ultima 8.1.2 and Perseus@1.7ghz cpu+640mhz gpu but it doesn't matter really,the kernel/rom combo doesn't affect this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
Try activating "disable hw overlays" and "force gpu rendering" from developer options....it helps me...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
You want the settings for best smoothness?

1.install siyah

2.change governor to lulzactiveq andchange scheduler to cfq

3.enable gpu rendering + disable hardware overlay in developer options.

4.set the minimum gpu clock to 266mhz in stweaks.

5.set touch boost to 1000 mhz in stweaks.

Now I guarantee you an ultra smooth experience.

Note : disable/kill media scanner or downloads provider service if it's using too much cpu.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
And what does this have to do with the topic? You can lock the CPU to 1400MHz and the GPU to 800MHz, kill your battery, and it will still lag in the aforementioned situation.

If you actually pay attention while scrolling in the Setting page, you will see that the lag/hickup will only happen once any of the On/Off switches come into display and get rendered, if you scroll without any of the switches in view it will be smooth. I can already imagine what causes this; they're fetching the status of the switches in the rendering thread and it simply causes an overhead on the rendering fluidity. No matter what you do you won't be able to get rid of that design problem. Hundreds of other apps are completely fluid in the meantime.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Nice find AndreiLux.

I really didn't think it was a kernel or settings issue because i run at 200-1704 for cpu and 266-640 for gpu both with reasonable scaling settings so i think i'm fine.

Also true,in almost any other app everything is smooth as it should be...

So in conclusion a dev or sammy must fix the settings apk not to lag?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks for that.

Well,force gpu rendering sticks but disable hw overlays doesn't stick after reboot and i really don't know if it actually does something! :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
The settings need to be reprogrammed. I tried to get rid of that lag because I thought it was because of the kernel, but then I saw that it only happens when the switches come into display. It's stupid but you don't do anything about it. I don't even know if AOSP has the same issue or if it's a Samsung thing.

It's the same problem as with Tapatalk, it's a badly designed pile of crap and that's why it's so laggy, no matter the performance of your phone.

Take Flipboard, Reddit News, much more complex apps, but they are properly coded and thus fluid.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
@Bala

It's ok man...:)

@Andreilux and all

I see...

I think on AOSP scrolling is smoother in settings..

Anyone to confirm this?

What should we do now?

Report to sammy?Ask an experienced developer to try to fix it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirko ddd:
+1 , investigating :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintball23456:
yes, i can confirm. AOSP is 100,000 times smoother than Sammy.

edit

What i have found FIXES this issue is to run a LIVE WALLPAPER not a very graphic intensive one, but something like phase beam, or nexus 4 LWP. What this does is, it keeps the CPU fresh and instantly ready to render. Try it if you don't believe me.

download this LWP just for a test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2lkd2FzYWJpLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIubmV4dXNkb3QiXQ.. and in settings put everything on MAX. and set the LWP. Now go try to find some lag :)

I have a Velocity Micro T410 Tablet. It's actually pretty good in terms of speed and such but lacks in the way of ROM capabilities. I bought the tablet because it was promised at the time by the manufacturer that it would be upgraded to ICS by the end of 2012.

A little over a month after I purchase the tablet, the manufacturer announced that all development on the tablet would be halted. This wouldn't bug me so much if the stock ROM wasn't so full of bugs that I've been tempted to call an exterminator on several occasions. When I contact Support to get help, I can usually fix the bug before they even get back to me.

I would like to offer to anybody with dev background to port CM9 or equivalent to this tablet.

[HTC One X] MatPease:
Ok i'll start at the beginning. i've had a HTC One X since launch i've never bothered with the Custom roms before but i had some time on my hands today and thought i would give it a go. and everything went wrong.

i downloaded a called "One X All-in-one kit v2.2" and followed the instructions. i managed to get my bootloader unlocked with out much bother and then i decided to install a custom rom. so i loaded up Clockwork Mod Recovery and downloaded CleanROM 5.1 and put it on the phones memory.

I made a mistake at this point. using the tool i flashed the kernel from the Zip file before flashed the Rom or even made a backup!!!!. Now no matter what i do my phone will turn on and just sit at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, if i turn the phone off it just turns back on and site at that screen.

i have tried re-following the steps and it is still exactly the same. Do any of you guys have any solutions to this or have i wrecked my phone?

Any help will be gratefully taken as i don't have the cash to throw down for a new phone!!

Thanks,

Matt
[HTC One X] Yasounet:
First of all you need to clarify which version of HTC One you have, currently you are posting on international version forum ( tegra3 ), and im pretty sure that CleanRom was made only for Snapdragon S4 version ( was it this topic ?). Also check if you are able to boot into bootloader ( power down your phone by holding power button for ~~15 sec, press power while holding volume down button ).
[HTC One X] sprogurt:
Just a few questions that'll help us help you:

1. If you boot into the bootloader (power and volume down when powering on) What is the first word on the second line of text?

2. On the third line it should give you the HBOOT, could you give us the version number please?

3. Lastly could you please link the ROM you have flashed.

At the moment it seems to be able to be recovered so you can stop worrying :)
