Why can't i try this kernel?? XDD i wanna try the fast vesion!! OH MY GOD!!! FAST VERSION IS THE BEST!!!

Fast

480P Recording

2GHz Max Clock

8MB VRAM

398MB Available Ram

Overclocked GPU (260MHz)​

TOTALLY WORTH IT!! :D:D:D

Yes I know , It has best balance for a gamer , but I think only the extreme is developed enough to test , my play anyway can't reach 1.9ghz+ without charging so when it's done i'll go with it . I think of dissasembling it and clean and may be implement something of a cooling hole for the cpu but it think it's not the best idea , anyway i did with my s1 in the past (only cleaning) and it gave about 100-200 mhz more .

W00t permission ?! The linux kernel is gpl (free) software meaning as long as you publish your sourcecode to the binarys you are free to do anything you want with it. You should clearly give credit to former contributers of your linux fork, but they cannot say youre not allowed to release the code.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian280:
I think thats true, but there is at xda a kind of "moral code" of asking for permission first in order to use someone else's work in adition to giving proper credit. Maybe wedgess doesn't want a competitor who releases a kernel just like that when he has been supporting the play for like 2 years, and using all the hard work he has done (including weeks of testing, the risks involved on the development of a kernel....)

We are all here at xda to contribute and help each other. Wedgess has helped us and I think we all have used his kernels. Maybe he is at his "right" of deciding to give or not permission to use his work, regardless of whether he should or shouldn't. and if it's legal or not.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
This whole conversation is pointless because wedgess allowed him to post the kernel and even helped him with it and I believe you should always give credits for other peoples work as long as it's reasonable

Hi there ,

I have to calibrate my battery and I need to use a way to do it , but I'm not sure what's the best method !

Which way or software do you suggest to solve this issue?

I have to say my tablet isn't root.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
"Battery calibration" is a myth. What most people and apps accomplish when they "calibrate the battery" is either wipe or somehow modify the battery stats - this has absolutely nothing to do with the actual battery output or how the system reports the battery output.

The only thing that battery stats are utilized for is an estimated report of an individual app's usage of the battery. Wiping the battery stats (or modifying them) only decreases the accuracy of these estimates.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shab_2008:
Thanks buddy.

Yes , I got it!

I read some useful articles from http://batteryuniversity.com. I understood that the best way to calibrate the battery is a full discharging , then doing full charge.It should be done once every three months or after 40 partial cycles.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
The calibration that is being referred to in the articles and papers found at the battery university website is referring to the internal circuitry and controls of the actual battery. The ideas that "full" discharge and subsequent "full" will help improve the accuracy of the reporting of its state of charge to detectable level in a typical cell phone or tablet battery is guess work at best for us the typical end user.

Also the internal circuitry and controls inside these poly lith ion batteries (these circuits help control the rate of charge as well as prevent these batteries from ever actually reaching a true full charge or true complete discharge) is continually improving.

And besides using and charging your battery you have no actual control over the batteries internal circuitry or how it reports its state of charge.

So you can run your battery down low then charge it up to a high charge, but I doubt you will notice much of a difference and you will not have any way of ever knowing if it had any affect on the accuracy the battery's reporting of its state of charge.

And lastly remember if you intentionally practice the full drain and full charge that you will never reach a true full charge (the internal circuitry in the battery will try to prevent this) as your battery would explode in flames first. And the longer you keep your battery at a high charge state the more you will shorten its life span. Also the circuitry in the battery will try prevent you from reaching too low of a charge because if it happened you would not be able to recharge the battery ever again (at least not with any standard ac charger).

So the idea that you or I (or any other typical user) can do anything to improve the calibration (at least anything that can be measured) on our poly lithium ion battery is a myth.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The right term here probably isn't "calibrate," but "condition". For most modern (LiPo/Lion) batteries, you will want to "break them in" so to speak by performing a few "full" charge cycles (as mentioned, onboard hardware will prevent the battery from really depleting all the way/charging to full capacity). Afterwards, you're generally recommended to perform a full cycle once a month or so. But other than that, the idea that you need to fully discharge a battery from day to day is silly. Any charge level below around 10% (even 20% if you're being conservative) can slightly diminish your overall carrying capacity.

Having it happen once or twice is nothing to write home about though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
In the articles from the website there are discussions about the accuracy of the "state of charge" reporting and some comments were made that the occasional "full drain" and "full charge" would improve the accuracy or "calibrate" the "state of charge" reporting. One article actually recommended once every 40 charge cycles would be good. The only problem with this line of reasoning is that there is no real good way to tell if the battery had actually ever lost any significant accuracy in its own "state of charge" reporting - your battery may maintain a high level of accuracy throughout its entire life cycle and you would never know.

And subsequently while the idea of doing a "full discharge" and "full charge" cycle sounds like a good idea, the truth is there really is no way to know if it had an actual effect or not.

As for conditioning or exercising a battery there is some truth to this in the case of a poly lith ion battery that has been in storage for a while or a battery that has continually drained and charged to almost the exact same levels repeatedly over several cycles. A "full discharge" and "full charge" may speed up the conditioning process, though the typical average use would achieve the same conditioning given enough cycles.

As for the longevity of a battery, high charge states do more to shorten life of a lith ion battery than low charge states. The down side to running the battery low is that once it gets too low it can't be recharged - now there is a safety circuit built in that stops a battery from discharging too low. This is where you battery shuts down and your device turns off. The down side here is that the battery will still slowly lose charge. So if you hit the too low shut off and take too long to start charging the battery you can end up with a battery that is difficult to nearly impossible to recharge.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
After thinking it through some more I'm doubtful that there is a high occurrence of poly lithium ion batteries failing to accurately detect and report its "state of charge" otherwise there would be a lot more occurrences of these batteries exploding.

The whole purpose of the batteries internal circuitry and controls is to kick in the high charge (and low charge) safety circuits - there is also a safety to keep these batteries from charging to quickly as that could also cause the battery to burst into flames.

If these batteries were to lose the ability to accurately self detect and self report their "state of charge" regularly as often as just 40 charging cycles then there would be a lot more batteries out there that would not know when to kick in their high state of charge safety circuit. Which means there would be a lot more exploding batteries out there.

Since the instances of exploding batteries is rare and becoming rarer, it is evident that the accuracy of these poly lithium ion internal circuitry detection and control is really good and only getting better.

Like I said the whole idea that battery calibration is needed (or even can be done) is just a myth.

Now when u update u will not be able to root your device, the boot loader will be locked and you will not be able to downgrade back to a previous version.

Hi, i've a wet application screen protector i love the way it protect ALL the surface of my screen but the touch feeling is very gluey (like my finger doesn't swipe easily)

Hello, I am one of the IT Techs at Snow Summit in Big Bear Ca. and I manage the cell phone accounts and distribution. I have one user that I got a Verizon Razr Maxx HD and we have had nothing but problems and even had it replaced once. The phone freezes all the time with either a blank or active display misses calls and texts and has poor radio reception. We are long past the warranty return point so I am wondering if anyone has ever discovered what causes the freezing issue and can the radio be tweaked up somehow? I am pretty close to taking a gun to the phone and getting him a new G S4.

TIA

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfriend33:
the phone just received an update which contains a newer radio. how could the phone not be under warranty? it was released in october of 2012, less than one year ago?

i would advise a factory data reset, freeze all the apps that arent used (a google search will provide a list of what you can disable). This really should be a great device for him/her with awesome battery life.

We tried running it in safe mode for 2 days and it still froze and rebooted. We did a full factory reset and it still acted up. We have checked for the update repeatedly and it has not been available. It is stock not rooted. I just ordered a Galaxy S4 for him. I will take the phone and sell it or use it as a back up.

Have you done any troubleshooting with motorola? The phone has a 1 year warranty. I would have told him the s4 wasn't available and seen what his reaction was LOL.
