[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
in my opinion the S3 is not as clear.

this is because the S3 has a pentile screen(2 colors per pixel instead of the regular 3), so while it has a slightly higher ppi it has a lower sppi and a noticeable pattern in the screen that looks a bit like a chain link fence.

and I don't know what you've heard about the features on the S3, but as far as I know the note 2 has all features the S3 has and some exclusive features.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
It would be safe to say that with additional ram on the note 2, it's future proofed against newer Rom updates. 2GB is becoming the trend and will be required as more and more features are being added to roms. Since you mentioned the S3 has more features, I am curious to know what extra features does the S3 have over the Note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
It is the Note 2 which has the greater range of features, not the other way around.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxiii:
mannyvinny bro, i was also in same situation when i was planning to buy the phone about a month back. Both are lovely sets. In my case, in the end .. 2gb ram was THE ONLY reason i bought the note2. See s4, xperiaz, htc one .. all new devices are coming with 2gig ram. Trust me this was real factor i got this beast. Secondly larger screen is always plus. And pixel density, i dont hardly see any difference :silly:

So, my suggestion.. go for note 2. Spend your hard earned money on some feature proof device.

edit, do read the SDS issue related thread before purchasing!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonous:
Buy an S3 i9305 with 2gb. I'm thinking of moving there as my note's size is beginning to bug me. Yes 2gb is a bliss when I tap to open Facebook and it opens instantly, as opposed to my previous note1 which killed it everytime in need of free ram, as it is a really heavy app 70+MB. Because in reality 1gb ram translates in 200-300mb free, which can be filled really quickly and it's really frustrating and embarrasing waiting for some secs for apps to load, when I have a beast of a phone.

i used both GN2 and S4.....and i like note2 more than s4......big screen long hr battery for internet surfing and gaming....and how can my fingers replace the amazing spen
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
There's still an issue with the S3 LTE which is the fact that LTE consumes more power and yet the battery pack remained unchanged. Also the LTE version only has an additional ram but not the same CPU clock speed as the Note 2, by default at least.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
I owned an S3 and a Note 2 and I can tell you in my opinion it does make a difference, Note 2 is noticeably better.

InstaVOLT v1.5
​

Decided to put it on the market for all devices that meet the requirements.

Quoted from market:

"InstaVOLT is the easiest app for managing your CPU milliVoltage levels. You can undervolt or overvolt your CPU voltage levels by steps of 25 milliVolt. Be sure to check the overall voltage levels after every increase or decrease, so you know what your device/kernel is capable of.

Requirements:

- Root

- Busybox

- Kernel with VDD levels support

Warning:

I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device, use at own risk!

- If the voltage levels are to low your phone will freeze and you will need to pull the battery

- If the voltage levels are to high your phone will overheat and/or suddenly power off.

Since this is a very early version the app might force close when your kernel doesn't have vdd support.

Updates coming soon!"

Info for our device:

The voltage range of our device is 750mV - 1450mV.

Upcoming updates:

- Support for setting voltages at boot.

- Probably more compatibility / options

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] davidteri91:
thanks brood for this awesome and important app :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
You're weclome :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mrjraider:
Nice app Brood, let know when you need some translators ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jpacho89:
Thanks brood! Once again an incredible job!

Here I publish my voltages with the max UV I can reach with freq between 245-1400mhz, interactiveX and row.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks, sure! will do ^^

You're welcome, thanks!;p

Wow, your overall voltage table is way lower then mine, check this out:

Mine: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yours:

how is the battery life with those voltages?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jpacho89:
And I can lower it even 25mV more and works like a charm! :) But thats the limit, if I lower 50mV the phone freezes.

I will publish complete battery stats at the end of the day, don't know if they will be so good because I think that the mayor problem of battery drain is at lower voltages, I wish I could lower them more.

Anyway my phone is about 2 years old, so battery eficience may have decrease at least a 10-20%.. it's normal to have more drain than with new phone!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Really? you can put it to 725 without making it freeze? thats nice

OK thanks, ill wait for the results. and idd the major battery eater isn't the cpu/frequencies.. its something else. as Extreme UV and non UV almost result in the same results xD

And you can lower them more. in acpuclock-7x30.c you can find:

#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_VDD_LEVELS

#define VDD_MIN_UV_MV 750U

#define VDD_MAX_UV_MV 1450U

which sets the limits, however, I don't know what will happen :p

My phone is also almost 2 years old now, and the battery is still prety decent to be honest, I thought it would be lazy as hell by this time ;p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jpacho89:
ok I will try it later and give you feedback!

Even 375mhz doesn't lower more, when I reduce 25mV at least the rest frecuencies voltage is reduced.

You know that every single procesor is different, so maybe I was lucky with mine!

Anyway battery is enough good for me, I prefer permormance even if I have to pay a little more battery drain for it.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jpacho89:

im gonna test it on my s plus, galaxy nexus, wildfire s and galaxy note 2. will report later :good:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jormapaappa1235:
Nice work! Mine works 1025mv @ 1400mhz and 1300mv @ 1824mhz :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Nice :) I'm curious about the results, since I patched it to 1.1 it shouldn't FC anymore when there is no vdd support possible.

In next update i will add "save on boot" (as in a new init.d script)

Thank you :)

edit: v1.2 live on market in a few hours, no init.d support yet but critical fixes for non supported devices
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] m0e_03:
very nice app, really..cant go lower than 2x decreasing (phone freeze)..am using phenom kernel (exuv) bigmem.. ;)

Thanks brood. ^_^
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks, and if the max steps for -25mV is 2 then you've exceeded the minimal voltage, the minimal mV is 750, everything below that will freeze the phone. everything above 1450 will result in epic core meltdowns :silly:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
on my note 2 its unfortunately not working, but also no fc. tried with stock and custom kernel (Adam Kernel)

will post results for my other phones tomorrow because im currently not at home.

btw. i like the idea of setting all voltages down the same amount. nice work bro ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] TheNec:
Hey brood,

thanks for the nice app :cool:

Does this mean that you could go below 750? Because when I lower the voltages everything changes but the voltages which are already at 750 (192, 246MHz) and btw if I raise them again everything(!) goes up by 25.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
You're welcome.

Going below 750mV causes the cpu to have too little power to function properly, causing it to freeze your whole phone. But the thing you mention that it doesn't lower the 750 ones, that's a good thing:D since it prevents you from having a frozen device, didn't even notice this myself haha, testing it now and you're right ^^ an unexpected built-in fail-safe mode hehe:p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
hey brood,

i've tested your app on my phones today, but unfortunately it's only working on the Galaxy S Plus.

Tried it with: HTC Wildfire S (jikantaru kernel), Galaxy Nexus (CM 10.1/CM Kernel).

the new incompatibility info screen is working well :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
What basically could cause incompatibility is of course no vdd levels support at all.

You can check this by looking for the vdd_levels file inside /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/

If it doesn't exist the app will tell you that. (version 1.2 shouldn't fc anymore it should properly show you that its not possible)

And second thing that I dont know actually, on a dual core or quad core are the settings from cpu0 automatically pushed to cpu1,2,3 ? or is it really seperate core configuration (since you have the nexus which is dual core you might know this :P)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
i think that is someting in the kernel module, because i tried myself to set 192MHz vdd level at 725mV via terminal emulator, but it doesn't work, while it works if i lower other voltages keeping them above or equal to 750mV
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
on my note 2 there are seperate cpu0,1,2,3 folders, each with the same files in it. i think you can make your app compatible because there is a file called UV_mV_table which looks like this:

is it possible?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thank you this is VERY useful info, So I can make it work with that filename as well ^^ although I cannot cover all names (if there are many, since I have no clue). Thanks :cool:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
I've made this 1.3 test version, its not yet published on the market. can you test it for me?

www.broodplank.net/InstaVOLT.apk

it should work with the UV_mV_table file ^^
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
i works partially.

checking the current levels is working but changing them is not working.

btw there is another similar file called UV_uV_table which looks like this:

[MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], google play have just updated your app to 1.3 on my phone and guess what? With your 4.4.5 kernel it says that my kernel does not support the vdd levels sysfs interface... I suppose it is not real...

EDIT: I've switched to your kernel to have the possibility to use this app and have an exUV kernel :what:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Stefano187:
Hey brood, just a simple information: is it normal that when I restart the phone the VDD levels came back to original values? If so, is there a way to make modified values "reboot resists"? :p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yep since i haven't made the init.d function yet :P, just keep the app on your phone an update will come very soon automatically ;)

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:

no problem dude :)

here is the folder.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Thanks I know what the problem is, the UV_UV table needs to be chosen instead of the mV_UV :)

edit: attached v1.5, it now really should be fixed!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
tested, but its still not working ):

the UV_uV table is displayed when checking but changing the values does nothing instead showing that little notification on the bottom of the screen (how is it called?). no values are changed ):

maybe you should try to change the values in all the different cpu0/1/2/3 folders at once?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
ok then you have to try something for me :o

first:

echo +25 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_uV_table

then

echo +25 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

see if it makes any difference, if not please try:

echo +12.5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_uV_table

then

echo +12.5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table

i saw somewhere that it worked with steps of 12.5 mv.

also please look if this file exists:

/sys/class/misc/customvoltage

Thanks a bunch if you want to do this
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] tomixdev:
its frustrating.. tried everything you told me, nothing worked. nor is the file in /sys/class/misc/ present.

the values just dont get changed..

anything else i can try/do?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
hmmm I think I have to investigate this further before telling you what you could do :rolleyes:, when I know it ill report it :p
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Stefano187:
Hi [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION], I have something fun to tell you. I don't know if this is the right place to post it, maybe your kernel thread could be better, but it is something related to VDD regulation of your 4.4.5 kernel.

I was using your great app since now, but, looking at [MENTION=4825437]Christopher83[/MENTION] exUV table, I noticed that some values could be lower than the ones setted by your app.

So I decided to write a simple init.d script to change them on boot. I took an example of init.d script from K^Kernel thread and I modified the values with exUV table mentioned on first post and some other that i took after the changes that I made with your InstaVOLT but it doesn't work (I've checked the values with your app and with terminal emulator).

I found out also something very curious: I've bought SetCPU and AntutuCPU Master and the first one doesn't show the voltage tab, and the second one shows the voltage table but, when I modify the values, they come back to the original as soon as I close the app.

To be more clear about the init.d script, this is the one I wrote:

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ -f /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels ]; then
echo "Setting alternative extreme undervolted cpu VDD levels"
echo "192000 750" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
echo "245760 750" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
echo "368640 800" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

fi

I know, maybe my question is stupid, but I hope you could give an answer to it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Stefano

P.S. The script is named 1VDDLEVELSB and I've put it inside /system/etc/init.d folder with rwx-rx-rx permissions

EDIT: OK, I'm simply stupid. I don't know what i did, I've just changed the name of init.d script in 01vdd_levels and it works now. Just.. Sorry for my "noobness"...

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] 7med:
[MENTION=4643755]Stefano187[/MENTION]

I think you should append the voltage values in your script >> instead >.

If you open the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels after a boot you will only find the last line 1824000 1275
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
No, try it yourself and you will se you are wrong... That isn't a text file, is only an interface to show and edit the settings (e.g. if you open the file you will see that it contains ":" even if you don't use that in echo command). You can also try to set a voltage lower than 750, you will see that it won't appear in the file because the module doesn't allow lower voltages

I don't know why...
