[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Hi,

Anyone been keeping an eye on hotplugging on the n9005 ?

Mine is still unrooted, so I'm talking 100% vanilla Samsung configuration...

I use Android Tuner's online core notifications to keep an eye on this, there are other apps that can to this as well.

At some point, after a few hours of uptime, sometimes only after quite a many (20h+), I just notice that it will never drop below 2 or 4, never had it lock on 3 minimum, so can't comment on that scenario.

Once this happens, it's impossible to get back to single core even on very low load.

Also when leaving the device doing nothing, freq. drops to 300MHz and still 4 cores remain online.

There is obviously an impact on battery drain as well.

Only way to get back to normal is to reboot...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SentinelBorg:
I've noticed the opposite issue, two cores just going offline forever until I reboot the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
So that would point to obvious hotplugging issues, except if you ran into thermal throttling, maybe.

Were you running some heavy stuff when this happened ?

JP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big-ej:
i tested it out of curiosity using the widget in system monitor app.

i have exactly the same issue as SentinelBorg above. the two cores go offline and never come back online until the next restart.

very wierd.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Well for the very least we can conclude hotplugging is flawed in the current firmware ...

As soon as we get a proper recovery (nandroid restore that don't bootloop) I'll start working on an improved kernel, this is just not acceptable for a top notch 700€ pricetagged device :D

You're on full stock. Doesn't that mean you have no options regarding CPU government?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Correct, so I cannot do anything about this misbehaving, except reboot.

I want to know whether this is something others observe as well.

The thing is, if you're not looking at it, you won't know it's happening, cause who really keeps an eye on online cores all the time ? I do as I do kernel coding and as such also work on governors, which make me look at stuff like that.

If this happens of yours, you'll just have a hotter Note 3 with less lasting battery without knowing why, or worse without knowing battery easily could last longer if that was fixed.

This clearly is a bug in the current firmware, since as you correctly stated, being full stock unrooted, I can't be influencing this in any other way than applying load to the CPU which is clearly not the case as you can see in the screenshots... and it just happens randomly.

Once I start on a Note 3 kernel that will be in the top list of things to take care of.

I would have gone with the N9000 if I knew how to develop a kernel. BIG.little sounds like so much fun to dev on.

PS

Have you found any Info about the thermal throttling? I'd love to be able to manipulate the temps for less heat when over clocking.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
I was actually not going to get any more Samsung device because of crappy open source support they (in fact don't) give :(

I ended up going for the note 3 because of the specs and exactly because it was the Qualcom and not the Exynos version and a one time offer I could not refuse, but I will go nowhere Samsung's own super secret Exynos CPUs ever again unless they change their policies, which I doubt.

I just do hope I won't regret my move...

exactly the same here, after a reboot everything is back to normal
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Happened again after ~10h uptime while watching a live video stream...

Cores went to a steady 4 online, load was unchanged over a longer period (~45 mins of video stream over WiFi).

This makes little sense, hotplugging is flawed.

This is still happening for me, reboot solves it. Running 4.4.2 and thought this should be solved by now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciprianruse88:
Stock kitkat XXUENB3, unrooted. I have a similar problem when all of the sudden all cores are stuck online with core 1 and 2 stuck at 1958 mhz and core 0 and 3 scaling normally just not going offline. A reboot fixes the issue untill it happens again randomly. This is my last Android device and I had gs2,gnex,n4 and now n9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciprianruse88:
I've rooted and when the issue happens, disabling mp decision and enabling it again fixes the issue so this means that hotplug doesn't play well. Maybe a custom kernel will fix this issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Yes, long time I've open this thread ;)

Indeed, on TW I used to do just that, "pkill -9 mpdecision", which killed the daemon and it respawned and all was back to usual.

I've since then moved to CM11, and this never happened again ever since, so I expect this to be a TW related issue, since mpdecision had the same MD5 signature in CM11 as on my stock 4.3 TW ROM.

And it looks like if the problem still persists on KK TW...

But it's certainly not a kernel related issue, as I've use my own kernel on JB TW, where this happened as well, once I went CM11, I ported my kernel to CM, and as I mentioned, never happened ever since.

Might be TW messing with DVFS (for benchmark cheating and maybe other things...).

Maybe worth trying to use Wanam's Xposed Module and disable ROM DVFS.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAVVAS.:
2 cores always online and the other 2 always offline= Dual Core

Ok guys I have experienced the bug with 2 cores being always offline which basically makes your Note 3 a dual core phone many times in the past untill I found what caused this! Even firing up Antutu the cores are still 2 and not 4 online! So yeah at first a reboot was an easy and effective sollution but that was not enough so I devoted 2 days trying to find out what caused this. Guess what? The problem was inside one of Samsung apps, specifically the bloody S-Finder app! I can reproduce the bug 100% whenever I want so I am very sure about it! Also I have tested this on 2 other Note 3s (n9005) and I noticed the same bug , with 4.3 and unfortunately now on 4.4.2!

Steps to reproduce it:1) Fire up S-finder 2) Search any app and launch it or even without launching just only by typing on the search bar the phone enters into dual core mode(!) after few seconds 3)Now this is the critical step, remember now the phone is already having only 2 cores enabled so if you press the home button then you are stuck with the buggy dual core mode!!! So this is how you end up with only 2 out of 4 cores working!

The sollution is of course to reboot the phone but another more faster and specific sollution is to close the S-Finder with only this (correct) way: while you are on the S-finder app close it by simply pressing the back button untill it exits completely and you are out to the menu. Incase you are not in the S-finder app then you must check if the program is shown in the recently used apps(longs pressing the home button) then tap on it to open it and then close it by hitting the back button." Don't close/kill it from the task manager or from the recently used apps, only close it when you are inside of the app and hitting the back button!"

Synopsis All in all, the culprit at least on my case is the S-finder app in which when it is used it somehow forces the phone to get into dual core mode and it stays like this because you forget to properly close it after the search is done. The sollution is simply closing the S-Finder gently/properly by using the back button from the inside of the app and not with any other way.

I don't know if this is truly a bug of Samsung or just a sneaky way to increase/improve the battery life at the expense of performance but I surely know that many people have this issue without even realising it!

I said too many things so that I can give a detailed review on this bug, I hope I have expressed it clearly and not to confuse you!

I think it is a very serious issue and it should be fixed as well as inform people about it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciprianruse88:
Yes. I've did the exact same thing and cpu was dual core but after I've reset mp decision I couldn't reproduce it anymore. Good catch!

How did you enable the online core notifications in Android Tuner?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jennifercolemanme:
I get it, thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Yes, I use it all the time.

But this was very long ago, I've been on CM based ROMs for a very long time now, and no such issue on CM ROMs, mpdecision just does it's job, so I think the cause is not mpdecision, but resarting it resets everything to a proper plugging...

JP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
Yes but how did you enable the core notifications in Android Tuner?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Well, downloaded it, the in the notifications activated it... I'm not certain to I understand your question correctly ;)

JP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
This is what I see when I go into "Notifications" in Android Tuner.. The reason I am asking is because I'd rather have an app that shows me the cores in the notifications. I used tinycore before but it has a bar on top of the status bar.. And I'm not sure if it's causing some screen burn.

Is the core notifications in Android Tuner a premium feature? I just can't find it in the settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Don't know if it's a premium feature, I've bought it long time ago in fact.

What do you see under "Notification packages" ? You have to activate it there.

JP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
It only redirects me to download different icons.. :(

O
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yank555:
Correct, you need to get the satusbar icon packages you want as notification ;)

Once downloaded and installed, you can activate them.

TWRP and Story time

I'm currently using TWRP with no issues, and never had any, starting way back on the OG Evo.

I do remember installing clockwork on the old school T-Mobile G1 (Dream) and I didn't have any issues. Koush spearheaded the recovery project for us, he will always have that title of being the 'first' with his clockworkmod's. (a tip of the hat to Koush)

Reminds me a little of this story I learned a while back. I heard it was true too...

The importance of a beginning in anything isn't always about that first product or creation in the project. The importance is whether the original design and goal is met at the end and/or in the end product. I.E. Adam.

He was the first to be created of humanity but the original purpose for his creation did not meet all of the requirements of his Creator. Instead of scrapping the original product and starting anew, there was a plan to restore and rectify on the original project, or as i like to call it, the original "storyline".

The similarity of this story to the OP takes a turn here. Where as Koush didn't fully rectify his original product (Clockworkmod) and make a better one, the Creator of humanity did indeed follow up on His promise to begin in the restoration of the original design of His story: the "Second Adam".

One was born from the dust of the earth (ie 'first' Adam; the other birthed from the Spirit of God in Heaven ('Second' Adam).

The first Adam was born perfect but ultimately failed in its original design and purpose. But alas, One had come, the Second Adam, who did not fall or fail, but came, conquered ,and was victorious in all that man was suppose to represent and so so much more...

I use cwm just because I like it better, I've had no issues so far with it. Once 4ext is available I'll be using that, best I've used to date.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Truthfully I was CWM all day every phone no matter what.

I wouldn't even give TWRP a chance, once I did though, I never looked back, haven't been back on CWM since either.

I do have a gripe with a menu set up. Nothing major and enough for me to change. I highly suggest TWRP.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mlin:
I like TWRP more. Better UI, navigation and features. That said, I use CWM. After experiencing bugs and instability with TWRP on the S4, I returned to the recovery that has never failed me, CWM.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] smoysauce:
I use TWRP and have no complaints. Never did with CWM either. The winner for me is TWRP though, because I like being able to add multiple zip files to flash at once instead of flashing them one at-a-time with CWM, not a big deal but saves some time.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
I would love to see 4ext make a comeback. Best recovery ever.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
I just actually received an email from max about 4ext for the One. In short - the framework of his recovery needs an overhall to work with the larger resolutions, multi-cores, etc. He has a lot of work ahead of him so if he does try to revamp it for the One it will be some time. But I would switch from TWRP to 4ext in a heartbeat...handsdown the best.

Same here. I love twrp, but pales so hard in comparison with 4ext

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
I used cwm with the original droid and it worked fine but when newer phones came out I noticed issues like on my dinc and bolt I had backups that was corrupted and I wasn't happy and moved to twrp and never had an issue since. I did move to 4ext with the bolt and that must say was the best over all. I miss 4ext when I got rid of the bolt but hope it comes to the one soon. It was so user friendly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] aer0zer0:
I've used CWM on my HP tablet, installed on a few other phones. Honestly, I've never given TWRP a chance. Is there anything I'm missing by not using it. I guess I'm just more used to the look and feel of CWM

After some searching i found a way here to unlock bootloader and install CM 10.1

But after a while I wanted to go back to stock so i did a system wipe and offline flash of stock v20a rom

But now my camera is not working as it should. The view finder is dark and the images i take are low res.

Tried hard reseting with no luck

The unlooking was done after i flashed a p760 rom.

Plz help i dont wnt to brick the phone's camera its a new one

I dont think i can send it to warranty after i rooted it and unlocked then went back to stock rom unrooted
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] eze87:
i think you will have to do a hard reset :

(Factory reset)

1 Turn the phone off.

2 Press and hold the following keys at the same time for 8 seconds: Volume Down Key + Home Key + Power/Lock Key .

3 Your device will perform a factory reset and reboot.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] aliajami:
Thanks for the response.

I did a hard reset couple of times with no luck.

Does it make a difference if i flashed V10A instead of V20A or maybe V20B

They are differenet in size too

With V20A (which i flashed) at 592 mbs

And V10B at 492 mbs ?

So what is the difference here ?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] eze87:
maybe you can try flash v10A (ics) , hard reset in this rom and then flash your stock v20A ,
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] aliajami:
I just finished trying that.. and it didn't work :crying:

I flashed V10A then back to V20B

the bootloader is unlocked does it have anything to do with it ?

I don't think that patch will help. It only replace you camera firmware with P768 files which you already have on your phone. As I replay in other thread, try to test your camera or hardware in LG hidden menu. Maybe it will give you more information about your problem. Dial 3845#*768#
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] aliajami:

Hello everyone,

I purchased one of the latest revisions of the D2 Tablet Platinum (model# 751G_MZ) and tried every single rooting method I could find, not a single one worked on this tablet, even tried paid version of super-oneclick root and it says wait for new version! I ran out of software options to root the tablet. I WAS able to manually push su binary into the /data/local/tmp folder that is used to root the older 751G but it did not correct the permissions or put the su binary into /system/bin and /system/xbin.

I figured I was out of software methods so I took the best route and now have a completely hacked and 100% brickproof tablet. even tablets that are completely wiped out and appear to be off are recoverable now. this includes the "M6 USB" mode that means no bootloader is installed. What I did is outlined below, bear with me as I am not good with explaining things but the pictures should speak for themselves. after pushing the files into the /data/local/tmp folder I needed a way to move them and correct the permissions. knowing that recovery mode is able to flash and change things with root privs on almost all tablets.

After I added a Serial UART port to my tablet(see pictures) I booted into recovery mode and opened a serial console, I am able to modify u-boot parameters as well as debug and change just about everything. I mounted the /system partition from the root shell in serial terminal and moved the files using busybox cp, then chmod 06755 su to correct permissions. I then rebooted into android and installed superuser and sucess. I have root and much much more! I am gonna work on finding a way to do this using software but I could use some help with this. If anyone has questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Their are many pictures that would be very interesting to tablet users in general, please click the link below to see the full album to see my modifications.

Now that I have a brick-proof AML8726MXS based Tablet, I am going to be porting CM10 to the device. I ran into an issue with unpacking the non-standard boot images but i'm writing a script right now that will handle the new format used since no tool exists for this platform, only the older AML8726MX and AML8726M1/M3. if anyone knows of any unpack tools for this platform it would save me time later on when it comes time to build CWM for the Digital2 Platinum Tab. after that i should be all ready to do a test build using source tree from older platform as a base.
