atekant: you're right on the button! I can almost prove it through trial and failure, but not conclusively. If you read the thread about the Jasjar and MDA Pro topping out at 624Mhz after being overclocked using PHM (Pocket Hack Master 2005), you will see that the Universal is not just slow in screen refresh rates, but also underperforms in the video playback department.

Plug in the mains adapter and performance issues are gone!! Successfully overclock to just 520Mhz (I know! It's supposed to run at that already!) and a lot of these performance issues are somewhat alleviated.

Personally, I believe that some universals have not different speed rating CPUs', but different chipsets, as not all Universal owners experience this problem e.g. Sub69 is ok on this front. But many other jasjar owners and MDA Pro owners have this same problem. My wife is on her 3rd MDA Pro, but that might be down to ROM version. Nonetheless, unless I overclock her Universal to 520 or 624Mhz, video performance is affected on videos encoded at a resolution of 640x480 (regardless of video bitrate).

Things have much improved on my own jasjar since my last hard-reset and not installing any 3rd party software that wasn't designed for WM5.0.

Anyway, that's my experience anyhow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
3rd party soft's not designed for wm05

but surely mackaby007, if a piece of software is not loaded into memory (ie used), why in the hell should it affect the performance, this is another insidious bug in my opinion, as i told u i am not going to try and hard reset just to test, but never should (or had with the o/ses i used like win, linux, epoc, symbian, unix, beos, macos, dos... etc) an application affect video or any other performance if its not loaded!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Re: Crossed wires!!

nabil2000, I think we're getting our wires a little crossed here. I agree with you to a large extent that it could well be a down to software bugs, therefore affecting CPU utilisation, which will in turn affect performance, i.e. refresh rates, speed od operation and most obviously for me, video playback. having said that, you are aware that sub69 and I have the identical ROM and o/s build version. That doesn't leave much room for software being the culprit, being that we still get differences in general performance. I don't believe my unit is at all faulty. I do think, however, that there is a two-fold problem that concerns some but not all Universal owners:

1) I don't believe for one second that all manufactured units have identical hardware, only specs! Different manufactured chips with same performance rating, but different response in real world use. This is nothing new in the world of computing.

2)I do believe that the o/s / ROM is bug ridden and can/will be resolved in due time.

As for your point about unloaded software affecting performance, I agree totally, that is highly improbable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
rom leakage into memory

maybe soft resets do not get rid of the unloaded apps completely, and so we get remnants/debris of apps left behind, which can only be removed with hard resets...

so if this is the case, and my hunch is that it is, a rom upgrade which will flush memory properly and completely every soft reset will get the problem solved... (or allow some backup mechanism that will allow for non-destructive hard resets)...

as for the hardware issue, i am not a chip processor manufacturer so i would not know, but some people in this board seem to know that this is the case (ie variations in hardware that preserve official hardware specs, with some having the potential to be more performant than others beyond what is advertised)...

either way, my contention is the better the specs, advertised or otherwise, the happier the clients, and the better for the future of the HTC/i-mate dealership venture ...

and by the way that trick they pulled (htc/i-mate) that the reason they included less ram was to preserve battery life, the same stunt was pulled by nokia to justify why they used a slower processor (150 mhz i think) on their nokia n9500 communicator...

they think customers are fools, but we are becoming more astute and discerning than ever before in our choices... so they better watch out instead of insulting our intelligence ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DaleReeck:
Well, no, not quite 3-4 seconds for the screen flip. More like 1-2 seconds :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
If you disable the O2 Active interface by going to Programs>Install Type>Basic then soft reset, it does speed up the screen flipping somewhat.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
MDA Pro, Jasjar, Dopod, SPV M5000 and Exec, oh & VPA IV!

Tha's assuming that every Universal owner has an Exec! :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] man2003:
Removing all Today Plug-ins will increase the speed as well... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
When I use PHM to look at the current processor speed, it already reports 520. Are you saying yours reported a slower speed?

If mine shows 520, should I just leave it alone and not use PHM??

(The test at 624 fails each time)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orinoco:
[/quote]Well, no, not quite 3-4 seconds for the screen flip. More like 1-2 seconds
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orinoco:
I am a bit confused here. On one hand, it would seem that this is entirely a WM5 issue, as other devices with VGA screens do switch instantaneously (e.g., iPaq 4700 and others); it is not good that the JASJAR takes this long. However, the K-JAM screen rotation is fast but it has a QVGA screen, so it may be a VGA thing after all.

Or is it that WM5 and VGA don't "mix well"?

Any thoughts?

Fernando
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Not trying to be the exception to the rule here but screen switching on by JJ is actually instantaneous. I have not done any RU and am still on the old one.

Those experiencing more than a second must be doing so due to plug-ins and non-WM5 compliant software installed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pyrofer:
"trick they pulled (htc/i-mate) that the reason they included less ram was to preserve battery life, the same stunt was pulled by nokia to justify why they used a slower processor (150 mhz i think)"

Hmm, If you read the article on Buzznet about power, written by a MS employee, or have ANY knowledge of electronics you would understand that both of these are completely true.

Less ram, or slower processor = longer battery life.

I used Wm5 on my Himalaya and NEVER ONCE went over 50meg ram used, let alone 64. Why on earth would you want 128???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
4700 has an ATI video chipset, Himalaya and

Blueangel too, and the screen flipping is

done in hardware.

Universal and Magician use the LCD controller

built into the CPU, so they are dog slow.

Don't have any info on Wizard.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
I knew the Jasjar was lacking something!!

I knew i wasn't loopy! That would explain poorer video performance on the Universal then, wouldn't it? Whilst the Universal is a very capable video player, it lacks power for higher resolution vids, hence the need for overclocking or the mains adapter to eradicate the 'jerking' some of have experienced in vids encoded at 640x480 @ more than 600kbps!

This issue of mine is becoming old hat now, so I'll give it a rest, but my fears have been justified, in that, whilst my jasjar is now performing beautifully, the only area left for me to complain is in the speed of screen flipping from standby mode and videoplack at high resolutions - lack of dedicated ATI video chipset explains it all to me now.

Cheers guys. :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Re: So you think Universal is not slow? Only in two areas!!

CJSnet: Sorry mate, don't waste any more time on PHM. I won't anyway. It doesn't make enough of a difference for me in what I want from the Universal. I got my speed boost for the o/s from another program called GSPocketmagic. Don't ask me how this has worked out, I don't know, but it works for me!!

As has been made obvious, the universal has been manufactured without an ATI video chipset, therefore putting more strain on the CPU to handle screen refresh, flipping and video playback! So, in my opinion, we have to accept it as one of the shortcummings of the Universal. In every other way though, my Jasjar is now very quick and I'm not complaining.

best of luck. :wink:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Guys most of us encountered a similar problem like this - for no reason the lockscreen and power option menu wont work

sometimes you will get red warning like 'factory mode is on' some features wont work properly :crying::crying::crying:

Guys it's because of Corrupted EFS folder

So here is the exact solution to get rid of factory mode into user mode [get back your lockscreen and power option menu]

Its a proven method :victory::victory::victory:

You have to root your phone and install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.

Open terminal emulator and type as ;

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

You now should not see the that message anymore. Its because of an EFS corruption.

Hope it helps!!!

Time to enjoy 'hurray' i got my lockscreen and power option menu
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Anybody guys is that helped you...if yes please press thanks button...dont just see the post.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Omkar$:
Hey please help me

When I type these code

Su

Bla bla bla:D:p

In terminal emulator

I get error

No such directory or file found

Please I want my lock screen anf power button back
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Which means keystr and factorymode file already been removed...

Then you have to type only this:

Don't type just copy paste these codes:):):):):):)

su

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr

chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

reboot

It will work definitely all the best..

Not working bro same error:(:(

I have addon.d, app,lost+found,reg_backup in my efs folder

:(:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Do this manually

Install root explorer and open.

Go to efs/Factoryapp folder

Create a new file 'factorymode'

Open the file and type 'ON' and click save.

Create a new file 'keystr'

Open the file and type 'ONON' and click save

For both files permissions should be rwe-r-r

Reboot.

If it still don't work do the copy paste commands in emulator which is in first post after this..

It should work..I have successfully got my lockscreen and power menu button by this on my grand Quattro running JB 4.1.2 :cool:;):cool:;):cool:;)

This is the only method to get back those...even u try reflashing your stock firmware u won't get it.do it again without mistakes in code..

In the code the first two line is to remove those two corrupted files and the next two steps is to add those two files and the following codes is to set permission which it needs minimum 777 permissions to work.....;):beer::);):beer::);):beer::) so if u get error like no such file directry exclude two lines below su.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KillerofJoy:
I think they accomplished what we would all hope for profitability. Doesn't make the tech they put into the now called products they build any less just means they have to play by a different set of rules and the challenge to produce the same quality of work will be impacted. Sure as users we will lose and gain some features. I just hope they don't forget how they got to where they're at and start charging us or worse stop free rom development.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
That's what I'm thinking. CM isn't going to be free anymore.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
I'm pretty sure its illegal to sell something that's free/open sourced. CM cannot use android and make a Rom and then sell it. Android is open source.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KillerofJoy:
True yes but then they are Inc. which means as soon as they are contracted to make a retail phone rom then why would they keep making a free rom. It maybe open source but open source does not mean free. May mean that you can use the codes libs and so on for your own development but if it were free red fedora and Ubuntu wouldn't be making money.

Google Wallet does not work with NFC SE SIM's. I don't know where you have read that it will get Google Wallet to work... ISIS mobile wallet will work with it though. Google Wallet only looks more embedded SE's on the device, not the SIM yet. Maybe this could change in a future update. No one knows.

So soon?
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
This pretty much goes against other rumours where they were going to merge the Butterfly and One into

Be happy you're owning perhaps the last HTC phone with 3 buttons and Beats Audio. Unless this successor has 3 buttons but I don't think it will, most of HTC's phones this year are only 2 buttons except HTC First, Desire L, Desire 200 and Butterfly s.
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
I'm happy with what I have atm. I am aware that future phones may come without beats and feature only two buttons.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
same, I think 1080p screen and stereo speakers, for me it doesn't need to get any better than that :D
[HTC Butterfly S] Cxpher:
The MicroSD slot is good for the 1080p screen too. Can store HD videos comfortably. The phone would have been even better if it retained the waterproof capabilities of it's predecessor and if it sported a SOC 800 but it's good nonetheless.

They did combine the HTC ONE and the HTC BUTTERFLY lol u r using it think about it all the HTC ONE spec and better and the butterfly look
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
no, what i meant is there wer rumours that the two lines will be merged as one next year. No more Butterfly probably and instead just one distinctive flagship.

The other thing that makes no sense is Snapdragon 800. Current rumours are that One Max won't get 800 for many reasons (such as HTC struggling and being unable to afford it, or Qualcomm themselves not letting HTC have it because it is to much a financial risk)
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
That's just rumors. I don't think that such phone will be released at least within half a year. HTC has problems with ordering Snap 800 for the current devices and most of vendors have already got their prerogative in using these chips.

[HTC Butterfly S] tokenbest:
i think we should just be contented with our butterfly s, the new models are gonna be pretty much flowing out all the time..

my only gripe with butterfly s is the snapdragon 600 =S
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
oh i'm very happy with my Butterfly S, not looking to replace it very soon

my previous phone was a Razr Maxx HD, so this is quite a beast in comparison :)

i'm gonna (try to) wait till after summer next year for a next phone

by that time we'll know everything thats to know about KitKat and there probably will be plenty phones released with 4.4 pre-installed

[Asus Transformer TF700] bamtori:
So I sent my tablet back to Asus a few weeks ago because it wouldn't turn on/charge. They replaced the main board and sent it back.

Everything was smooth sailing until I discovered that the tablet was running an old android version. I checked for updates in the "About Tablet" section of settings and received the message: "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment and try again" - I've waited three weeks.

My tablet previously had a US SKU, but now runs on WW with the new main board.

I decided that since I can't OTA, I may as well unlock my tablet and get rid of this piece of **** stock ROM. Alas, I'm also unable to unlock my device or connect to the device tracker. I suspect all these problems are related.

I know I can update manually, but I didn't pay good money for this tablet to use workarounds.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? If so, how did you go about fixing it?

Any help or advice would be appreciated! I would rather not send my tablet back to the service center again.
