Underpowered

I just test this 60W Anker, but unfortunately it was underpowered. My power banks draw much less current than if I'm using Samsung 2A wall charger. Anker claims that each port are capable of 2.4A, it's far from the truth. Now, I understand why reviewers didn't want test the outputs by using charger doctor.
[General Accessories] vectron:
I didn't use Charger Doctor because it's very inaccurate. As I mentioned in my Charger Doctor review, it's helpful to use it for relative comparison rather than accurate measurement. I'm actually a bit surprised you can read 2.14A from Samsung wall charger. Isn't that 2A charger? And they don't even supply exactly 2A but rather 1.8A due to efficiency conversion drop.

I'm gonna try to remember taking some measurements when I get back home, using both Sammy wall charger and Anker 60W charger and Charger Doctor.

Also keep in mind, the charger will provide (source) as much current as the connected device needs (sinks). Anker wall chargers and their ext batteries use smart IC that adjusts the current according to how much devices sinks. Have you run the same experiment charging up your phone or a tablet? Charging an external battery is NOT a good test because some batteries have variable charging speed preventing them from overheating and when it gets close to full, ext battery enters a trickle stage of a slow charging at reduced current.

Anker 60W 6-port vs Samsung 2A wall chargers

I agreed that this charger doctor might not accurate, but with Samsung 2A wall charger (ex-S4) and Xiaomi power banks (Input = 2A) it will show exactly 2.1A :) Proven by others as well :

You're right, this meter is only for comparison, but at least we can talk in the same language by using the same meter.

testing with charger doctor

[MENTION=3996566]vectron[/MENTION]

I have tested this Anker 60W vs Sammy2A :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeHd3oannrU

The Sammy 2A wall charger charged faster (2A) than the Anker 60w (1.5A).
[General Accessories] juming:
Instead using other cable, Mi powerbank will draw power best using cable that come with it, just try it using charger doctor.
[General Accessories] dealova2008:
Right, the original Mi cable is good can draw straight 2.1A but the durability is not so good.
[General Accessories] Ralse:
How much noise do these things make?

With every chinacharger on the market I have had noise issues.

They make a very high squeeking noise which drives me insane at night.

It's difficult to hear if your just doing things or talking, but when it's quiet I hear a buzzing or a high squeaking noise.
[General Accessories] dealova2008:
Not compatible with Xiaomi power banks ?

I'm very grateful if you could test to recharge your Xiaomi power bank as mine only tops @1.5A :crying:
[General Accessories] vectron:
Sorry man, been busy with a lot of reviews.

I just tried it with different Anker chargers and Choetech and some other brands, and it always charges somewhere between 1.3A and 1.5A, not just Anker but others as well. They all use smart IQ charging chip, and I think Xiaomi bank has a variable charging speed, since I see the charging current varying. And as my original test showed, original Samsung wall charger gives the fastest charging speed.
[General Accessories] dealova2008:
Thanks....I really appreciated it ! Keep posting :good:
[Micromax Canvas A1] mknits:
When I call someone, the volumes are low; low enough that I can't hear properly if 2-3 persons are continuously talking nearby me. Is there any app (preferably with minimal permissions) that can increase the volume during calls.

I don't use headphones/earphones for calls. For music playing, I use headphones and volumes are fine.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

did u tried factory reset??
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I rooted my Xperia-L using getroot method. There is a leftover from the method located at /etc/init.d/00stop_ric script.

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/busybox pkill /sbin/ric
mount -o remount,rw /
rm /sbin/ric
mount -o remount,ro /
/system/xbin/busybox pkill /sbin/ric

Does anybody have any idea what is this ric daemon for?
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Its not a leftover, its a script to stop RIC from launching, its a protection thingy added by sony to prevent anybody writing to /system
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
Is it added by Sony itself? Do you mean that the script was there before even I applied getroot method?

And what does this RIC daemon do?
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
I said already, RIC protects the system.

The root adds it. So no reboot will occur in system mount
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
Does RIC cause reboot if it detects write to system partition?

And, why is it being killed twice, once at the start and once at the end?

/system/xbin/busybox pkill /sbin/ric
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Pretty much, yes

Maybe it's a mistake, or it needs to killed twice, no idea on that
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
Since I have rooted mine, rooting method has deleted the binary. Is there any means to get the binary so that I can disassemble it and have a look? Or, is the source available anywhere? I assume, it's not a standard *NIX utility.
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
The binary should be there. Since the script kills it every boot
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
That's a mystery. Because, Xperia-L stock firmware does not have init.d support. Apparently, the script is useless.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52669470&postcount=1
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
You can try by making a echo command in a script for Init.d
[Sony Xperia L] Holmes.Sherlock:
I can't, because I have already enabled Init.d support by using Init.d Toggler.

It's because of to get rid of Link2SD bootloop problem. Detailed here.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryan_Mc:
I want to try some custom ROMs on my M8. Before I do this I want to do a full back up. From everything I've read Titanium is by a long shot the most popular so I see no reason not to go that route. However, from what I've read rooting the M8 will wipe my phone, but I can't use Titanium until I'm rooted. So it seems I'm stuck, and wondering what the best way is to proceed.

Thanks,

Ryan
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Rooting by itself won't reset your phone, using the HTC unlock token to unlock the bootloader will. However, if you can S-off, you can also unlock your bootloader without tripping the factory reset. Once your bootloader is unlocked, you can install a custom recovery and backup your (unrooted) OS image - then use that recovery to install su.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite to all of that is getting S-off. If you can't, or won't, do that, then yeah - as soon as you unlock the bootloader your /data partition will get nuked. It's a safety measure to prevent someone from stealing your phone, unlocking the bootloader, and bypassing the OS protections to get the data on it. Fortunately, it only happens when you unlock. If you subsequently leave the bootloader unlocked, it won't happen again.

Droid Incredible 2 hboot 0.98 downgrade problems

I'm new to rooting android devices, I picked up this Incredible 2 from my friend and it was bricked and locked on the HTC screen during boot up. I managed to unlock the bootloader, throw in the Team Win Recovery and reinstalled adamBONESTOCK rom, I've been trying to downgrade my bootloader to 0.97 to get S-Off and install CM but every time I use the vivow downgrade it puts my phone in a bootloop and I have to reinstall adams to even get back on my OS, can someone help me out here?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] attn1:
The tool was meant for a stock rom. If you are already running a rooted ROM, try commenting out the three zergrush lines in the script. The zergrush temproot is probably incompatible with your ROM and causing the boot loops.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
*update*

this issue should now be resolved with version 4.0-4706 which can be downloaded here!

https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android/builds/33

Thanks sonicadvance1 for the work done so far on this project, and the fast fix to the problem. I am going to test ot out a bit now.

*end update*

I have the AT&T variant of the samsung galaxy note 4 and thought I would post over here in the T-Mobile section to see if anyone here has had a chance to mess with this app.

Let me start by saying I already know the app is an alpha and that even though in the app's description on the play store it states this app will run terrible on all devices, I have noticed it runs better on the nore 3 than the note 4...

It is for that reason that I am particularly interested in seeing if decreasing the display resolution using nomone resolution changer or any other resolution changing app to 1920x1080 or even 1280x720 yields any increase in performance. There are videos of it running on the note 3 which has me stumped since I expected the 805 to at least outperform the 800 and the only limiting factor I could possibly think would cause for worse performance on the note 4 is display resolution (which shouldn't in theory matter when using opengl es 3.0 as it allows for selected rendering for internal resolution) or simple lack of driver support by qualcomm for the adreno line.

The developers of dolphin have already stated over the course of its development that the qualcomm chipsets have terrible driver support and that they greatly prefer/recommend the Nvidia tegra k1.

I guess I would like to know if anyone with root can try running some gamecube/wii games at a reduced resolution using both opengl es 3.0 and software rendering and report on their results. Unfortunately the AT&T Note 4 root prospect is looking grim atm and I would love to know how the note 3 is outperforming the note 4 but without root I can't accurately test it.

I get 10 to 14 fps in ssbm when the intro is playing, but as soon as I press start, the game drops to less than 1fps at the press start screen. That seems to pretty much be the norm with all of the games I have tried.

I have tried reicast and ppsspp on this phone and both run phenomenally even when rendered at the note 4 native resolution 2560x1440 which to be honest still blows me away.

I am sure there are tweaks and optimizations available to make it at least run a little better.

Please comment and provide feedback/experiences in a friendly manner :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Averant:
I haven't tried Dolphin emulator but here's something I remember seeing. The 805 in 2k resolution performs roughly the same as the 801 in 1080p resolution. Take that as you will but if both were the same resolution, ie 1080p, then the 805 would kill the 800/801.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
You are correct.

That was what I was reading before the US Note 4 was released, it was based on benchmarks which could go either way when it comes to performance accuracy.

My thinking is this:

If dolphin is rendering at 2560x1440 despite the internal rendering resolution being set to 1x native, then dropping the phone's display resolution should greatly improve performance.

I could of course be wrong though and I have no way to test it yet :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
I also want to point out I have been frequently testing the latest commits as they become available here:

https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android

Just in case anyone wants to test some different builds.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] addictivepixels:
What controller(s) do you use? I've been thinking about getting the Moga Power controller for some OTG emulation with the Note 4. Although nothing will take my love away from my nvidia shield. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryanalan82:
I'm on Sprint on the echo rom and I've never used app settings from xposed to change dpi of dolphin. I'll try that after work and report back
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
I bought a phonejoy for most of my emulation and gaming needs, the form factor is pretty cool but functionality wise it has its quirks like the right analog stick being permanently inverted.

I made a DIY gameklip using a sixaxis dualshock 3 and a hanger that I use for more hardcore gaming sessions. Video of it can be seen here:

http://youtu.be/65rQQ-vhA74

Would love to hear about how the Moga is working for you since I was considering getting one as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
Definitely appreciate it. I don't think the dpi would change anything other than user interface size but I could be wrong. Look forward to hearing your results.

We have a T-Mobile note 4 developer on the AT&T forum right now that seems to be making progress on root for the AT&T Note 4 which is pretty exciting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
The buildbot just reset when it went over 1000 or so entries, so it is back to 0 as of today. I think the previous builds should still be accessible on the main website somewhere but any new ones should still populate on this link going forward.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
Update: I verified from Sonicadvance1 the developer for Dolphin that the adreno 4xx line of gpu were not detected properly in the coding for the android distribution of Dolphin. The developer says he will add it which means we should see some progress. :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
I wouldn't hold your breath. It hasn't even been running right on the Shield tablet and that is a Note 4 on steroids.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] NGP-1001:
The shield tablet doesnt work because of the nvidia tegra 4 chip and how it handles graphics

The note 3 can run most games at half speed so the note 4 should do fairly well once the update is released to allow the glbuffer

Lets see how it runs once the minor fix is released to allow full opengl 3.0 support
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
The shield uses the tegra 4, the shield tablet on the other hand uses the tegra k1 which has a 192 core Cuda gpu, and is in fact faster than the note 4, however it is not much higher than the note 4 in benchmarks and the likelyhood is we can get decent performance given the performance seen on the note 3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] NGP-1001:
Adreno

I thought he was talking about the shield portable and dolphin will not run on tegra 4 at all

as for the shield tablet some games are reaching playable speeds which is nice.

I am hopeful that the note 4 will provide some sort of speed boost over the note 3

someday this may be playable once further optimization is done.

I will be waiting for the update and i will provide gameplay videos for comparison
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
Had I not specified the exact version I was referring to, I could understand getting what I meant confused.

Just so we have a firm grasp on where I am coming from, I know for a fact that Nvidia worked with Dolphin directly to help with running on the Nvidia Shield

Tablet

, so I am making an educated prediction that Adreno devices, which have been known for buggy GLES 3 drivers, will not run as well. Ipso facto, poor on Shield tablet then poor on Note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
That is true, I suppose I am just an optimist.

That being said like others have stated it runs on the note 3, perhaps not playable, but better than the note 4 currently which leads me to think once this change is implemented the note 4 will surpass the note 3 in performance which is what I am sure we were all expecting from the note 4 out of the box.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
I should also warn you that setting GLES 3 on the Note 4 breaks Unity games. I found that one out today trying to debug why my game is broken on Note 4 and nothing else. Qualcomm may be a better target for any dream of updates that fix functionality. For your sake, I hope that one is a Unity issue. G'luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] soraxd:
dude.....dude.......dude.. I love you omg. I spent like a whole week doing exactly what you're doing now. my ssbm intro record is 16fps, by playing with some hacks in the settings. after into game either crashes or goes to less than 1fps. I bet you're the one who I saw posting questions on dolphin forums, and on that dudes YouTube video.

are you using the latest alpha builds? https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android

No idea how to find that link normally but I've been hanging onto it in my gKeep.

I know with root you can do some edits that'll make dolphin run better (says one of the dolphin mods).

I too was amazed old note 3 with a year less of development runs better than note 4 with an entire year of dolphin optimization.

kinda silly but running dolphins was one of the things I told myself could justify me buying the note 4 over the s5.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ryudosama:
I brought the issue to the attention of Sonicadvance1 on page 2 of the thread https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-the-note-4-and-dolphin and have since been waiting for said change to happen.

I am also aware of the YouTube video showing the note 3 in action hence why I made this thread in an attempt to determine what is actually causing the problem. The problem is entirely on dolphin right now and I suspected that there are a lot of people silently accepting the fact that it doesn't work, simply on the premise that they are told to expect it to not run which is why I made this thread to create awareness and see if anyone else was in my boat that could help test and figure out the problem.

Honestly when I found the note 4 thread on the dolphin forum it was already an off topic dead topic, so I wasnt expexting such a quick response from the developer. It was a nice surprise to learn the issue is what appears to be a simple fix in dolphin.

Now it is just a waiting game.

Also, just from reading the changes made in the buildbot, I suspect those changes are intended for the Linux version since some of the changes are notated regarding features not present in the android version such as d3d.

Hi all, greetings, this is the first time for me posting a thread in this session.

And sorry for my bad English, I am not native English speaker.

Here is the situation and would wish to seek help:-

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (aka T699)

Rom: CM11 Official ApexTmo.

Scenario: Wishing to swap Internal Memory & Ext SD Card.

Problem: I used to solve this in ICS, by editing vold.fstab on my late SGH-I927.

This no longer worked on Jellybean (Stock Rom) on this phone,

I therefore managed to use Init.d script as follow:

sleep 2
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir -p /data/internal_sd
mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard /data/internal_sd
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/internal_sd /mnt/extSdCard

However when I upgraded to CM11, this script no longer works.

a. There has been work outs for other phones using a script called SwapCM11 in XDA,

however the mount point is different and I face difficulties in sorting out all mount points,

esp in CM11, besides ordinary /storage/sdcard, there is also a mount point for internal called /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/emulated/legacy

b. besides Init.d, I also tried an "Root External 2 Internal" but too not working on CM11.

Kindly please help., and best wishes:o
