[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] facuxt:
Hello everyone, i recently bought a Sony Xperia S, not new, but almost :P.

Some history...

I came from an motorola atrix, then i bought an Xperia Play, then this Xperia S and it feels a little strange with the locked bootloader :p.

So i went looking what i can do with this phone, i rooted it, i upgraded it to ICS, then installed cwm, then installed XZXperience, it looks very very good!!! i love it, but i really love the aosp look and i want to feel the full JB experience, not just a part of it =(...

Sadly the bl on my phone is not unlockable and simlocked aswell. I saw in other posts that if i ask for the simlock code it may or not make my bl unlockeable, that is true?, what i should do in order to get the bootloader unlocked? there is any hac-k or something like in the atrix is? if i call to the carrier, what should i ask them?, the bootloader unlock key ?:confused::confused::confused:

Thanks in advance, from A-R-G-E-N-T-I-N-A!!! i really like how this section of the forum is moving!!:good:

[Microsoft Surface] theboundless:
In the power options, under processor power management, the maximum processor state on battery seems to always revert back to 100% after a reboot or changing power plans. Any ideas why the setting won't stick?
[Microsoft Surface] mkhalil06:
I noticed this as well

..very annoying

is that the only setting you noticed reverting? or are there more?
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
I assumed win8 handles processes differently requiring less battery consumption.
[Microsoft Surface] mkhalil06:
but that isn't the issue

if u go into settings and change the 100% to anything else

it always reverts back .....very annoying ....marked difference in battery life noticed
[Microsoft Surface] sactownbwoy:
If you create a new power plan and use it, the settings will stay after a reboot. This is what I did.
[Microsoft Surface] LastBattle:
Did anyone try 20% CPU so far ? And if so, how is the battery life?

I won't mind getting Surface Pro if I can throttle down its CPU when on battery to Surface RT's speed for a longer battery.

I currently have a RT version with me :D
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Power consumption curve for CPUs is very non-linear. 90% from 100% will probably save you more power than 20% from 90% will. You'd just be wasting a ton of processing capability.
[Microsoft Surface] isangelous:
Not only that but the windows throttle percentage is not really as specific as a 0-100 range would suggest, so even if you set 20% it might limit the cpu to its minimum frequency.

If you use a tool such as this you can see what the current frequency is: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/tmonitor.html

With my laptops (much slower) Core2Duo the minimum frequency was too slow, but about 50% of the max worked well and dramatically reduced the heat under load.

Some people reckon it is better to allow the cpu to use its full frequency so that it finishes the job faster and can move back to the lowest idle state. I am not sure that really applies to i5 (which doesn't support the ARM-style idle states that haswell will) and like you say the power consumption at lower cpu frequencies doesn't vary much. My experience with windows is that sometimes for no apparent reason at all programs such as word or chrome sit using 50+% of the cpu and you have to restart the process. It doesn't happen often at all but you might not realise until your battery is low. With the pro's i5 I expect you could get away with quite a low cpu frequency and would at least know you will always get roughly the same battery life.
[Microsoft Surface] Walderstorn:
This is the same problem that w700 has, an even earlier product. This situation made the biggest thread in the acer community because people are angry, some even took back their products and traded for the surface which made it the same than people realized it was not the w700 itself. Throttle stop didnt work because it seems to be more temp related.

Here are some interesting topics

[Microsoft Surface] jhoff80:
Actually, it is nothing like that problem. The OP is talking about manually limiting the max clock of the device using the Windows setting that has been there for a while now.
[Galaxy S III General] abexman:
Is there some way to determine the camera firmware other than entering a code into the stock dialer?

Verizon Galaxy s3. Had rooted & installed CM10 but having the "Can't Connect" to camera issue. Seems like this is a firmware issue? But first step per below is to enter a programming code to determine the camera fw version. Only problem is these codes are not working on my phone. I suspect its in a issue with this version of the phone or firmware where they may have changed the codes? Is there another code I can try or another way to find out camera fw?

I flashed back to stock ROM but the code does nothing when hitting dial after entering it, just says your call cannot be completed....etc..

Hi, i have used on my old Xperia play Snes9x Ex, and it played excellent, but i sold my play and im planing to get another.

How does the Snes9X EX+ Version than requires more Cpu power runs on the xperia play? do any games lag that worked fine on the non Ex+ version?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
You can always download the non plus version at his website which is continued to be updated.

The plus version is fast enough with GB roms, but doesn't fast forward as smooth.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Thanks, im planning to use a GB rom, i want to use the EX+ version because i use it also on my S3, so i can swap savestates, also i like the EX+ version more since it has better rom support and i can also update it via google play.

I dont't mind the Fast foward, since i dont use it, i just dont want it to lag in normal gameplay.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Its fast enough on GB roms. If you plan on using it on JB roms you have to disable GPU Sync Hack for video to work. If it ever feel slow you can over clock. With GB rom I have no problem getting 60fps with the plus version.

Haven't had a single rom not work with the regular version though.

How are you planning to install a rom if you can't root it? :eek:

Some methods were designed for older models & could turn your phone into a brick.

It has an unlocked bootloader, you should use fastboot to install clockworkmod & then root it or install a rom... search for my old thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Ran it up on clean installs on both linero versions only gapps installed. Flawless and super smooth.

Installed over DBK v8 super smooth and benches same as v8 but smoother. Camera works smoothly and better. Video as well. Wifi seems better. GPS works faster and seamless smoothness with Google navigation. Google now is more fluid and more responsive. Memory pool has a little more used out of it but well worth it. Life is Magic online video game plays better and even graphics seems cleaner and more vibrant. I ran this up to 1804 and performed benches on all settings up to and including 1804 in antutu and quadrant. Phone runs cooler thruout this entire time and previous 1804 would become hot.

I cannot find a flaw but cannot do a teather at my location right now.

I don't feel it can get any better than this.

Outstanding and well worth the wait. Kudos to all who made this possible. Most especially noted our very own Tim and Arco for their tireless efforts put forth.

You didn't give much info other than installed and booted to kernel logo then black screen. This is where pertinet facts should be mentioned.

Did you do dirty install or clean

Did you wipe cache after install

Did you fix permissions after install

Which smoothie did you flash to v2 or v3

With those answered maybe we can assist answering your question. Maybe it can help someone else as well by the issue being resolved for you. It can also lead to a list of compatible Roms it works with.

This kernal is amazingly smooth. I love it! One quick question. What exactly is the fantasy governor? Ive scoured google with no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skyrmion:
'fantasy' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.

The governor does a periodic polling and changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.

The support for this governor depends on CPU capability to do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency transitions).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] one800pepper:
I've been lurking in these parts for awhile now & thought I would finally chime in. Hello! :D Thanks so much for the excellent development on this little guy. I've been having a ton of fun with this phone. I've tried all kinds of CM 10 builds with the 2.6 kernel. I finally landed on a sweet spot (for me) a couple of weeks ago with the following config:

Linaro cm10 - DEODEX

DB - v.6

Brazilian 368 - 1204

Deadline

Anywho, I thought I would flash this DB 3.0 bad boy over the the top of that using this method:

Wipe cache/dalvik

flash kernel

fix permissions

wipe cache/dalvik again

reboot

Everything appeared great, but later in the day I noticed that the vibrate function had stopped working on button press & ring. I rebooted, but it was still the same. I wonder if it had anything to do with switching kernels after so many apps & junk were installed? It's no biggie, I was wanting to try the new CM 3.0 anyway, so I have loaded that up now. I just wanted to start posting my experiences here to aid in the excellent development that is happening. :victory: I will post back when I get a chance to test the CM 3.0 rom on this kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] darkynk:
This is the process I did ..... I wiped cache,dalvik, and cache/dalvik then installed kernel, then fixed permissions and rewiped the same as above and then booted up

I'm on v3 beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
V3 is a 4.1.2 cm10 and as such should have installed and worked. The only thing you did different than I do is I wipe post install then fix permissions whereas you did opposite. I don't think that could cause a problem though as the wipes only clears data and not touch permissions. Did you in past have any OC kernels installed on that rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] darkynk:
Yeah I had dbk v8 and tried to flash 3.0

I'm on smartass v2 at 1.2ghz
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
That sounds strange because it should work to best of my knowledge. Did you have a nandroid you can restore from and try again?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] darkynk:
No I just wipe the cache..... and flashed dbk v8 and it worked but I'll give it a try right now. Any specific suggestions when installing?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
Set gov I/O and CPU to stock settings.

Install over previous v8 called dirty install but it works fine. Wipe caches after install. Fix permissions after wipes. Reboot and allow to sit till your device signal is up.
