[ info ]

I have created a Small App (Sony Small App Framework) for checking out live GPU frequencies... it is a Free app!

this app will come in handy to understand how the GPU speeds are changing when you use the device for some app/games...

It will be like an overlay, floating application over the existing application/game.

Don't forget to close the small app after you finish, to save on battery!

also this will be very useful once we start testing GPU overclocking (only for selected devices on my DooMKernel)...

I must be crazy, blind or stupid, but I don't see anything...

After I installed the app, I don't see an icon appearing...:confused:

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Ame123:
Its always 400
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Dsteppa:
Yup I'm dumb... thanks

Edit:

Mine is going from 200 > 400
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Nice app doom like the work :). Any thoughts to add CPU as well so we can see if apps/games are using multicore as they should and see at what levels?

Ps Got your storage mounter to support (at last after waiting for a Google market version since GB on Xperia S) :). Just need to find a tool now to transfer from ext4 on Windows for our Z's and T's :(

Thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
I Will create one for CPU info too! ;)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
testing this out right now :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Marshal21:
Same Here,its always on 400.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Ame123:
Why it always shows on 400 for me?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
because the GPU scaling governor is not functioning correctly on stock kernel...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Haldi4803:
Cool stuff.

But taking a look at this picture i wonder if showing numbers only will be sufficent.

going up and down and up and down so fast...

P.S your poling rate is not that high, is it ? different value for CPU[1] than Kernel tuner.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] peetr_:
Thanks DoomLord, it comes handy. A little OT: Is it possible to add some governors for gpu?

[MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION]:

Do you know why my gpu-settings might be unavailable in faux clock? I use doomkernel v7 and remember playing with the gpu days ago (worked!). Since then I only froze/deinstalled some apps/services with titanium backup. Does the gpu-setting depend on a service?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] dron39:
1.1 in play, why in thread still 1.0? :)

Please add change gpu max frequencies to this small app for your new v8 kernel. :)

Would be very cool if we can change max gpu frequencies and also see current gpu frequency in one app. :)
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
thanks for pointing that out ;)

will update the OP

lets see about that additional part
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Hackerlacka:
Play store says: not compatible with sgs4 :(

Edit: Didn't see that this thread was in the Xperia Z forum, sorry! May I ask if you are planning to support other devices aswell? :)

Somehow it says that the app is compatible with my HTC Sensation, but I can't seem to find any way to launch it.

1) Is there any video chat app that is comparable in quality to facetime? I've tried Skype, and .. it works but the video quality is atrocious comparably. Doing a facetime chat from my iphone to another iphone/ipad/etc was almost HD in quality, virtually no artifacts smooth motion etc. This is not the case at all on a S4 with Skype. Suggestions ?

2) My parents have an ipad without cellular, so they don't have straight texting, they've been imessaging me for the past 2 years and now they can't. What options do we have? They can't even use Whatsapp being even that requires a phone number to tie to.

Loving the phone, screen and load of features .. just rrying to find solutions to some of my 'use' scenarios :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kjung7:
1) you should use Google's new hangout app, loom at number 2 for reason

2) Google hangout is your best solution. It will allow you to message your parents on their iPad and will let you videochat all from the same application. You won't need a phone number to make the app work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
2) WhatsApp Messenger will work

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Pagan:
Greetings Guy...Wanna know about yours expieriece, wich one culd be the best laucher for the TP???
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bL33d:
nova seems the smoothest to me. and of course has plenty of options.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I use Apex, but there are many good ones available. It's a matter of personal preference.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benru89:
Nova has plenty of options and is quite fast. But the stock one that comes with cm is quite fine too (trebuchet) and if you don't need too much customization is quite similar to nova.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbk:
I personally use Nova because I got it for $0.25 during one of Google's sales. It's a good smooth browser with a bunch of customization options. That said, there are a bunch of launchers out there that take a different view on things. There are 3d launchers like Next that run adequately on the TP. Action Launcher has a couple of very nice features that I like as well... but not enough to give up the customization of Nova.

In the end, it really is all up to what you like and what you want. That's what Android is all about. Do you want fancy? Do you want smooth? Do you want customization? Try em all out and see which one you like.

[General Questions and Answers] dmbfan2:
My earpiece was driving me crazy the other day. It would crackle REALLY bad. So, I decided to take my EVO 4g apart and clean the earpiece (with a Q-tip) which was NASTY. After I cleaned it, I put it back together and now I have this problem (see pic attached).

All it does is restart like a Boot loop issue. I've gone into recovery and the same thing happens. Any one know what the heck is going on?

Thanks in advance:good:
[General Questions and Answers] jonapunk:
I'm not sure but I'd say something came loose maybe the ribbon cable from mother board to lcd. See if you can search Google for a technicians manual for the device. It will help you trouble shoot it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] obelix:
The 1.06 bootloader for an XDAII is locked from iMate so it prevents new OS builds from being flashed. Is there a way to unlock 1.06 or even downgrade to an unlocked version of the bootloader.

Thank-you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheNoogie:
I'm not sure what my wife did with her Note 2. Running the most recent t mob OS, just got this phone as a warranty replacement and it worked fine the first 4 days. Now, when she hits her home button it acts like the menu soft key, in apps or inn the home screen. The only thing she has to change these settings is apex launcher, but this problem occurs with the stock launcher as well and changing the settings in apex does nothing. I really don't want to hassle with another replacement, any help here would be appreciated. I did a factory reset even, but no luck with that.

Thanks in advance guys and gals.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] S2svetko:
If it was a warranty replacement then it was probably a refurbished device. I would contact TMobile about it. I would guess its a hardware issue.

[LG Optimus G Pro] mrivmriv:
I don't see a page for Rooting this phone. Is it because it is so new, or because not many people are interested in the phone?

Also, my only gripe about the phone is the sound, which is low. If a ROM does come out, is that the kind of thing that may be tweaked?

I used to jail break my old iphone (when it was not so easy) and look forward to having a lot of fun on Android. The Optimus seems perfect for me, and maybe the smoothest and fastest phone around, but I hate 2 year contracts. The alternative right now is to get the Nexus 4 and wait a while for more large phones to come out (around the corner), then bite the bullet and sign a contract. Sound like a sound plan?

Another newbie question: how well do these phones (Androids) hold their value? I wonder if many people simply buy phones at retail (full value) and sell them on Ebay nine months or a year later, then go and buy the latest, greatest again? Like many, as soon as I get a new phone, I put screen protectors on the front and back, then put the phone in a case or bumper, so it remains like new. (ATT is buying back old iphone 4S's for $200).

Here's something I can contribute: there is a new iPad like cover for the Optimus G Pro. It is like the iPad cover in that it has a magnet and the phone switches off when closed, and on when open. In Korea now and headed this way. Google it. I think it is a big plus for this phone, now if they would only fix the low volume.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
Um, we do actually have a thread on rooting. As for not having any ROMs, yet, that's because we still have a locked bootloader, but progress is being made.

Not sure what the mention of the quick cover was about, but we have them in the US and they work very well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrivmriv:
If you could point me in the right direction of where I could purchase (in USA) the cover I referred to above (for the OGP with magnet that turns the phone on and off when cover opened and closed), I would appreciate it. Thanks, and good luck!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] nthknd:
You can get them from Att online or at the store and I saw 3on eBay ranging from 15 to 49.00.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Evil_Burrito:
Cover

What you are looking for is the lg CCF 210 folio case. There are also some knock off versions on ebay. They all look super sweet.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
how about just flash a different rom or get a new phone dialer from play store.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magikstar:
there's no custom rom for Huawei U8730 (T-Mobile MyTouch Q).

You said "get a new phone dialer" , So call log is manage by phone.apk, right?

yeah. i think so.

just get a new phone dialer from play store.

My LG BP730 3D UltraHD upscaling Bluray player has miracast and private sound features that may be useful for screen mirroring.

It works fine with my samsung galaxy S4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRSVyxyuO_M even for full HD videos
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] travisn000:
Are you still happy with this device (LG bp730)? I'm considering buying a 3d BluRay player with miracast support... have you tried any others? I'm especially curious as to how it compares with the much cheaper Toshiba BDX5400. I would also appreciate more details about strengths and weaknesses of the LG unit after having used it for a while.

I'm planning on using it with a Note 2 and an LG 65LM6200 3D TV... if you have a similar setup, can one magic remote work for both devices? I find that the menu & apps (amazon prime, youTube) on my LG TV are often sluggish, any improvement on the bluray player?

Thanks for the input..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] craigels:
I have a lg690v and when I try to use all share cast to the tv the picture is there but the sound is all fuzzy but if I conect my all share dongle to the tv it works fine ? Do u know what the porblems is im using a galaxy note 10.1
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] craigels:
Anyone know
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] butch87402:
It also works with Google TV my Sony 3d Blu-ray player doesn't have that feature at least I think... Never tried it Google TV works right out the box
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
sorry for the late reply, just saw your post. Was on a few weeks holiday in aug so didnt see your post. Came back to a gazillion emails in my account so might have missed the alerts from here.

I have update my amazon Uk review for this player. It works fine for bluray and 3d bluray on my LG smart TV. The private sound mode just works for bluray and not other stuff which was a disappointment. There are some firmware bugs, once as i was repeatedly trying to get the private sound mode to work for other stuff the device froze and i couldnt even eject the bluray. Even rebooting a couple of times didnt get the bluray to eject, but after a couple more times it did work fine.

Smart apps on any smart TV or smart bluray player are a joke. I have a smart sony TV, another smart LG tv and a smart sony bluray player and another smart LG bluray player. All their smart features are barely OK but really ****ty in comparison to any cheap android stick or android minipc. Android mini pc is much more versatile when plugged into a regular TV. In my youtube uploads I deliberately showed an android mini PC being used with an old cathode ray TV and now that old smart cathode ray TV with android minipc is smarter than any new smart TV. on the youtube upload the picture looks crap, but on the TV its not crap. Reason it looks crap on the upload is because the cathode ray TV is 420p and i shot it in a 1080p camera and uploaded to youtube in 1080p and hence the 480p TV shown on 1080p camera upload looks crap. Just mentioning this to show that android mini pc is a better buy if you just want smart features.

If you want miracast the netgear ptv3000 dongle is good (also shown on my uploads) and this miracast on this bluray is also good. I havent used the toshiba so cant comment about its quality. I have used miracast on sony TVs in shops and they work fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
try to see is the problem is some interference. You can check yourself by sitting in various areas around the tv with clear line of sight between tv and the note with nothing in between, if the case on your note has metal then remove the case have you updated the tv firmware. try to link TV to internet via ethernet or powerline adapters instead of wifi. the tv connecting to wifi and miracast at same time might cause some interference. hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] travisn000:
Thanks for the info.. I was mostly interested in 3d bluray and miracast from a single device... a better / faster UI & apps would be nice, but I probably won't buy the lg since it sounds like it probably isn't that much better than my LG TV, but costs more than the toshiba.

:good:

I sorted it by playing content through dlna and using the smart share app on the tv it workd brilliantly now

Ok so i bought a new 32GB card to use with my new GS4. First it started giving problems where it would sometmes tell me that the card wasn't mounted. then after a while it stopped working altogether. the card is totally unreadable now and i haven't been able to recover the data with any app so far. it kills me to think that i'm going to have to just take a loss on all the pics i had and just format the card. Anybody else having this problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] erapmicks:
What ROM are u running? There are issues with running wicked and messing up your SD card
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
I had a problem with a card where it wouldnt stay mounted and after formatting it it still wouldn't. I was able to back everything up when I put the card into my computer. SanDisk gave me a new card and its all good now. Try putting it on a computer and see if you can back it up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rvdangel630:
I have to disagree the H1 blows the N2 out the agua! And I'm not going to cover up this phone with a hunk of plastic. That's what insurance is for.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thcOne:
the insurance plans are actually a rip off. you have a large deductible on top of a monthly plan... if you don't pay the deductible to replace it at some point you will effectively pay an extra 50% the cost of the phone for no reason. If you do use the insurance plan, you have bought 2 phones instead of one..

buy one phone, learn to take care of your one phone, and you won't be blowing money on "insurance" plans.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rschauby:
This is the reason my insurance plan is a Nexus 4. It's a fixed $300 IF it's needed compared to the $5-$8 a month + $150 deductible. On top of this, they send you a frikkin refurb. I have yet to damage a smartphone in 4 years. I've saved over $672 for me & my wife's phones by not paying $14/month to cover 2 phones.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] lojak29:
The note 2 is just as superior in it's own right as a Samsung Device not crappy by far , u should be happy that of any Tmo phones that's the spare u have cause every other Tmo phone sucks besides them two
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] JesseMT4G:
Love to know how it 'blows it out the aqua?'

While the One's build quality is nicer, it isn't any faster than my N2. Now if you go off specs, I suppose so, but real world experience and can't tell much of a difference, they all feel pretty quick.

Also, enjoy the broken screens and waiting on replacements and what not. I'd rock a case on any phone and still have insurance just in case. These phones are almost as expensive as mid grade PC's, so not taking the chance. You can go right ahead and play in that pipers pit!

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rvdangel630:
Seems like I hurt someone's feelings.....

But it's my opinion, a note 2 with touchwiz out the box is sluggish, it's only when you root and install a Rom is when it gets better.

the HTC one out the box feels so much smoother. I have rooted and installed custom roms every device I owned since the G1 to the note 2. But not this phone, I feel no need to.

So to me the HTC one wins over the note 2. As far as broken screens, this is my first time every cracking a screen like that, I take care of all my phone's, but I'm a truck driver and I forgot to put back my phone on the mount and the result was a six foot drop flat on it's face. I bet I won't do that again......

I waited one day for the phone asurion next day aired it for free. HTC one ftw!
