[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
if the choice of pre-allocating ram for mali was because of "safety" reasons like avoiding potential hacks to pirate stuff or sidestep limitations imposed by licensing or whatever (like for example some of the Xposed Framework's modules that allow youtube content over HDMI port or whatever), it can just be a matter of disabling settings.

Or maybe they pushed it into production before the drivers were stable enough for dynamic ram allocation to work reliably.

Some people running linux on arm boards with a mali400 gpu already recommend to build kernels disabling that option to "maximize available memory".

http://www.malaya-digital.org/make-...-an-external-usb-hard-disk-over-your-network/

pasting relevant part here (note that this is for compiling linux-on-arm kernel and for a different device, stuff may or may not apply to our phones):

Besides, I don't see why the heck a non-HD-resolution phone must keep 192 mb of dedicated gpu ram when anything else (desktop/laptop or console) can do perfectly fine with full HD resolutions and hardware accelerated h.264 decoding with a crappy card that has only 64mb of ram (and the hardware accelerator, of course).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theronkinator:
Make more of a difference if we had a rom that actually used the leaked sources so it doesn't run like ****.

However I'd like this still as I don't game on my phone at all, so it's pointless for the gpu to use so much on mine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
Are there some devs working on it at the moment? It would be just great to have some MB's more RAM :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 95A31:
I comparet our kernel with this one and they are totally different. AFAIK is not possible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
But it's still in AOSP todo, so we can hope? I think this can radically change our user experience, isn't it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
Our board uses only 32MB of RAM for Mali, not 64MB ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alexhdkn:
then why we have only 392 mb out of 512? i know that some mbs are dedicated to the gpu, but 120mb to gpu????
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
In Xperia U 15MB are used for memory debugger, 1MB for shared memory, 16MB for modem, 1MB for ISSW, 64MB (may vary) for hardware, 32MB are reserved for Mali and then 383MB (may vary) are available for the system ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Garcia98:
Regarding dynamic memory allocation, I don't think that using it would be a good idea, as it can lead to allocation failures, memory leaks and other logical errors. I'm sure that there is a reason why Igloo Community don't apply Mali dynamic memory allocation to Snowball :p

BTW, you can read here the opinion of a professional about dynamic memory allocation in real time systems: http://www.mentor.com/embedded-soft...10b6e1-f9e9-4d87-8c88-6ced717a9f7a?cmpid=8688 :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirhl:
Said professional even goes further advising against the practice - but yet it landed on sunxi 3.4 branches, with dev even sounding almost shocked by the senselessness of the previous state of affair.

My educate guess is that if Igloo Community never lift a finger, is just because they were axed before such a secondary issue could become relevant, in the grand scheme of things.

Hi, for a while now my blue angel turns itself back on after I finish a call...

I have it powering off after 1min of inactivity so it used to switch itself off during the call (if more than 1 min long) and then I could just put it away.

But since recently it turns itself on after a few seconds, which is a bit annoying...

Anyone know how to solve this?

Hi all,

I'm unable to make an Internet connection in Cyprus via GPRS on my XDA IIi using my soeasy PAYG SIM card I've read Bandikoot's earlier reply on this question here:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=9288

Entered the settings verbatim - still no connection. Anyone else got a solution to this for Cytanet soeasy SIM card?

What about the basics? In 'Connections' on the XDA IIi, under 'Advanced', 'Select Networks', should I be using 'My ISP' or 'My Work Network' for programs that automatically connect to the Internet?

Help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

viffer

Hi.

planning to upgrade my BA, can you'll guide me with the best and the most stable ROM avaliable. prefere to have a clean ROM

Thank you
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
ArtZ's.

None is 'better' than the others, they all have different positive and negative which would suit different needs.

TuMa is an easy, 'runs out of the box' type ROM that afaik any user would be able to install and use without problems, it also includes many applications that a user might need which is great, but if your a bit more savvy then you may feel your choice is restriced.

Ivans is a cleaner rom designed at the afor mentioned people who want their BA to be exactyl how they like it, with thier own choice of Apps etc. it also has Extended rom support so you can have these apps instal automatically.

Logouts, afaik is just a stripped own version of TuMa, with a few elements of Ivans added, i dont know much about this rom as i have never used it, but i'm told it is a good 'mid point' betweent he first two.

Artz's rom i haven't come across or even heard much about, maybe _TB_TB_ could supply some extra information?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Midget_1990 really good explaination

My choice is Ivan's rom (I repeat this is my choice, anybody may have difrend requirement for WM5 rom) I just love WM5 to be clean like a original Microsoft rom without anything else, and the decisions for adding software to be all mine

_TB_TB_ please post short resume for ArtZ roms
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mambojambo:
By the way, the poll isn't going to help you much. It's a little bit bias as not all who voted actually tried all three ROMs. Many started off with one and continued with the updates. I personally installed Tuma only for a day or two and since then its been Ivan.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] pyk:
Thanks a lot guys for the help, ive decided to go with Ivans ROM but before i do, id like to know if it has any issues with the bluetooth and if i can the 128 MB storage like 2003 allowed me to.

so far, Ivan's latest version has been the most complete and stable for me with the following major issues fixed:

* bluetooth working (headset + activesync with pc)

* wifi working

* cellular network connectivity is flawless (no disconnect after soft reset)

* media player does not skip anymore at the beginning of songs

* speed is very respectible

I haven't had to do a hardware reset or reflash since I installed this latest ROM

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ParadingLunatic:
I've been thinking about creating my own wireless car dock. Basically I was thinking of using a case protector and trimming the edge off that locks the phone into the case to provide for easy insertion/removal from the "dock". On the back of the case I was going to cut an opening for the wireless charging transmitter...preferably one with magnets to assist with keeping the phone in place. Not sure if I'll just buy/use the Nexus 5 charger I currently have build my own. On the back of the charger I was going to attach one of the swiveling mounts which can then attach to one of the mounts similar to what the Pro.Fit mounting brackets and such use.

Any comments, concerns, better ideas?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undivide:
sorry bro its been done.

The Air Dock

and the official website

http://www.theairdock.com/
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pandages:
Not really the same thing at all. The OP is looking for a solution that uses magnets. You could get a random car dock, trim any plastics past the ball joint to fit, epoxy a nexus wireless charger to it, and be done. That would work nicely.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undivide:
did you even read anything about the air dock ?

you probably skipped over this part...

"Inside the Air Dock are magnets that pull the phone tightly into the foam face"

the FAQ also covers the nexus 5 & 7 + magnets

only reason I bothered posting the product is because the price seems reasonable when you consider how much it would cost to "rig up" something hack style which, in the end, would probably not function as well nor look as nice as the air dock does.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ParadingLunatic:
I realize the air dock exists...and it's $69. I already have numerous cases and Qi chargers I can use to do this. The only thing I really need is the swivel adapter and the bracket to install in the car. I think the air dock is great but I feel like I can create something very similar that would work just as good if not better and for less money. The way I look at it, the air dock is missing one thing that I would like just for my own piece of mind, especially since I drive in Pennsylvania a lot (and if you ever have driven in PA, you know you can practically lose your car in the potholes there). I like the idea of a case/surround that doesn't require it to "snap in" to but provides just enough support for a solid hit so it doesn't pop out/off. Basically my idea is very similar to the air dock except it includes a case around the charger part. The way I look at it, even if I were to buy everything to make this, I can still make it cheaper than the air dock. The "case" I would hack apart I can get as cheap as $10 or less, and I already have 3 spares. The charger can be had for around $12 (even if I want to buy just the coil and PCB) unless I want to spend a lot and get another nexus charger which is $50. The only other thing I need is the adapter and mount which is about $9-15. So I can make the same thing for as little as $31-$37.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undivide:
hey man thanks for writing back ! yes I used to live in PA near philly, now I live south of wilmington DE, this winter has been hell ! my rearview mirror fell off 2 weeks ago from hitting a pothole so I see your concern. one of the reasons why I stopped mounting my phone in my car (used to have an iphone 5) I bought a cheap mount from walmart as you can see here they say the stickiness lasts awhile as long as you wet it when it starts to dry out however mine will no longer get its stick back so its worthless to me.

are you going to fix mount this to your dash, or suction cup it to your window ? the latter I would not recommend ;)

I'm sure you've seen the ram mounts x-grip, it looks top notch and I think if I ever upgrade from the cupholder recess in my scion my phone would be so lucky to find its place there.

sometimes I rest it in front of my stereo so I dont have to look at the word "aux" while the music's on!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ilikethepenkils:
That's exactly what I did just yesterday lol.. iMagnet dock with the Qi Nexus charger. The iMagnet dock has 4 strong mangets on the end, well I took those and put them on the plates that you're supposed to put in between a case and phone and glued them together to create a flat surface for the nexus charger.

It works perfect for me. Also had to order a charger to support the nexus charger.

Truck is dirty, shhhh waiting for a nice day to clean it, damn you Michigan! :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undivide:
I know what I'm getting with my next paycheck ;)

I just hope the magnet on that dock is strong enough to hold my phone through its fairly thick silicone case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ParadingLunatic:
That's pretty similar to what I want to do, although I was thinking of taking a Nexus 5 case and cutting a hole in the back and epoxying it to the charger two allow 2 things. One is to provide a little extra support for severe potholes and also to allow the wireless charger to sit directly on the phone maximizing the charge rate. I was going to cut the lip off around the edge of the case so the phone can just be placed into the case instead of snapping it in since the magnets will take care of the bulk of keeping the phone in place while the sides of the case will just provide extra support. Just an idea. If anything I'll start off with the same/similar thing as what you have and possibly add the case idea if I notice issues of slipping or popping off with pot holes.

As for how/where I was going to mount it (2009 Scion XB), I was thinking of either mounting near the stick shift or possibly to the right of the stereo. Either way I'd rather have something relatively close to the top of the dash. The stick shift would be too low but at least it's accessible if I need to take a quick glance at it.

I have the Cruzerlite TPU cases. They've always served their purpose well for me at least. The magnets on the Nexus 5 Qi charger are pretty strong without a case. With the cruzerlite cases it's not quite as strong but it does hold a bit. Probably wouldn't hold well hitting a series of potholes though. I guess it also depends on how vertical it would be to. I would imagine it would have a better chance of breaking loose completely vertical as opposed to some angle to it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ilikethepenkils:
I live in an apartment complex with speedbumps.. Made the truck go about 40-ish and the phone didn't even budge.. so you should be good. lol

My N5 is without case currently. Every case I have is too bulky and just eh, thinking about trying the poetic bumper one Ive seen on amazon..

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ParadingLunatic:
It would actually be nice if there were a thread specifically for DIY Qi charger projects which included pics/plans etc. I guess creativity and the search feature will have to suffice for now.

I was also thinking of building my own Qi charger. I'd like my case to be much smaller though, similar to the Nexus 5 Qi charger. I was thinking of stacking the coil on top of the PCB but I'm not sure what shielding if any is required between the coil and the PCB.

If only that new NXP semiconductor solution were available right now. Check it out here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50hjojLLDww. Nothing much you can do about the size of the coil, but that tiny PCB is freaking sweet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pandages:
Bingo! This is exactly what I was suggesting. I think I'll wind up doing the same. I've got one of the CHOE Qi chargers at home, but it is magnet-less. I'm also picking up a PowerBot unit to throw on my desk at the office.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rewen:
I think you'll find that using a case to hold the phone snugly is not only overkill but also a hassle. Magnets work great on their own, but having a rubbery surface makes it even better.

I have the Air Dock (see here) myself but am considering downsizing to an official Nexus 5 charger fixed to a ProClip (see here) This would not only be smaller but also sturdier. First I might affix the Air Dock itself to the ProClip and see if that satisfies me.

Definitely happy with the Air Dock, though. Great product. The guy making them is great as well.

active nfc, Qi & bluetooth car dock

Hi all, I''ve been messing about with different versions of this for months now, since i had my Nexus 4. When i changed my car last year, the new one came fitted with an active, adjustable Brodit/Proclip iPod dock and a Parrot bluetooth system

The first thing i did was removed the active ipod plug from the bottom of the mount and replaced it with a standard micro usb for the Nexus.

Then i added an nfc tag to trigger a LLama event to switch on bluetooth and start music playback when connected

I decided i didn't like the Parrot system so i removed it and went back to the Belkin Aircast Auto i had from my last car and routed all the cables behind the dash to the lighter socket

Then i thought i'd try a cheap "puck" Qi charger. The jaws on the old ipod mount are very deep and the puck fitted in behind the phone nicely, with the nfc tag on top (first pic). The phone charged well even while streaming bluetooth, but would only maintain charge while using bluetooth and Sat Nav. together, so i kept the option to unplug the Qi and use wired charging when i needed more juice. The charger was a little wider than the phone, hence the foam and slight "v" angle on the mount jaws to hold it firmly

So last week i ordered a new pull tab slip case for my phone and the one that arrived was too small, so i thought it was time to break the guts out of the Qi charger (unclip the 2 halves and remove 4 screws to release a one piece coil and circuit board) and tidy the mount up a bit.

I made a taller plastic backplate for the brodit mount, stuck the circuit board to it with mounting tape and stuck the nfc tag directly to the centre of the coil. Then i added packing to even out the thickness of the whole piece and altered the slip case so it would slide over everything while leaving an access flap so i can still use the wired charger cable when necessary (pics 2 & 3)

If this works well i'll rebuild the charging "sandwich" from better plastic to decrease the thickness a little, then i'll fit an extra lighter socket behind the stereo for the charger

I noticed there was no reading mode as well. Weird as my tab 3 8.0 had it as a standard feature.

What I really wish they had added was a mini HDMI out... There are many cheap tablets out there (like the Dell 8") that have it as a feature. No need for slimport or mhl adapters (many of which don't work). Just plug in a tiny mini HDMI to HDMI adapter and away you go.

I get that Samsung expects us to buy their $70 adapter but it's just a pain to use a dongle.

Also, widgets on the lock screen and "knock on/off" were two of my favorite features on the LG G Pad. Surprised they didn't have something similar on the Tab Pro.

Go into device/lock screen, under swipe options turn on "shortcuts" set shortcuts on lockscreen.

then go into it and you can remove the default 5 app shortcuts and add your own (up to 5). Then you can swipe from the icon on the lock screen directly into the app in question.

You are right. Weird though, I can put widgets on the lock screen with the Tab 3 8.0 but not the newer model.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] lelik11a:
