touch flo

Thanks! Do you know where can i find new themes?
[Wing, P4350 General] blingflypimp:
Thanks for the download, but I'm a newb and can't figure out the correct way to get it on my wing phone and working. Right now it's on my laptop and I seem to have extracted it. I'm used to downloads from sellers like Handango, where the downloads are designed so that when you "run" them, they install on your phone which is connected. So if you have time to toss a morsel of advice to this lowly newb, then I would appreciate any help you could give me, such as "Do I copy the whole works over onto my phone (which I know how to do)?, or do I copy only one or some of the files?". Thanks if you can help. bfp
[Wing, P4350 General] blingflypimp:
I may attempt to try BS but what you said scares me, I've too much too lose with a hard reset. I just don't have time to put all my programs back on again, plus, I wonder from what you said if Calligrapher and PhatPad would screw up with it. Hmm. I'm going to have to think about this. PocketAccess really needs it though. bfp
[Wing, P4350 General] blingflypimp:
Did any of that require a hard reset? bfp

if i use batterystatus to overclock my wing, does it automatically set the processor to that speed upon every time the phone is shut down then turned back on?

also, do i absolutely NEED to install the softreboot thing?? also what exactly IS soft reboot? whats wrong with simply turning the phone off then on.
[Wing, P4350 General] Diagrax:
Softreset is when you press the tiny button on the left side of the wing and well its better so u wont have to press the the power button twice to turn off n on
[Wing, P4350 General] tonyriceroni:
i have my wing at 312
[Wing, P4350 General] Diagrax:
EH!? thts pretty dangerous...mine is overclocked at 288
[Wing, P4350 General] `Ghost`:
so i dont NEED to install the soft reboot app inorder to overclock my wing?

I'd rather not, i have no problem in pressing the power button once to shut down and once more to turn it back on. i'd still be okay doing it this way?
[Wing, P4350 General] Diagrax:
i know omap, overclocks on restart. Or Bootup
[Wing, P4350 General] myrid:
I believe I had mine at 247 constantly. I noticed after a few months that any other speed (even stock 200) would make the device emit a very, very high pitched whine. It was unstable when I tested it at 273- not insta-lock, but glitchy. So I bumped it down two notches to be safe.
[Wing, P4350 General] Diagrax:
Yea i hate that high pitch sound but thats how i would know if i had a notification...haha :D
[Wing, P4350 General] zigulists:
My Herald runs on 286 MHz perfectly, without any problems, at 299 MHz i got some problems, but rarely... :cool:
[Wing, P4350 General] tene20:
Do you run your speeds all the time or do you use some "on demand increase speed" feature such as CPU scaling in HomeScreen++?

If not, do you experience increased battery power consumption compared to stock settings?
[Wing, P4350 General] `Ghost`:
I have my wing overclocked to 247. how do i keep it overclocked? im tired of having to reset it to 247 after i restart the phone or it goes to sleep. someone PLEASE help me keep it overclocked.

Tmobile wing Shutting down

Hi guys,

I need help,

My tmobile wing (unlocked to ATT) is shutting down upon closing the keyboard, or setting it down. I had it overclocked to 312MHz for about 4 weeks, and not a problem at all, but since a couple of days ago, I have dealt with the constant shutting down with WM 6.5, so I reverted back to 6.1, and it still does it. Is this a hardware issue, or is it the battery?:confused: I bought it from a guy here in Atlanta, GA, and it came with a HERA160 battery, and my device is a HERA110. Would this be a cause? I've tried hard reset, soft reset, everything, and it still shuts down everytime i close it or set it down. :(

Email me with an answer somebody PLEASE!!!!

austin.covington@gmail.com or just PM me.

Cheers,

~Mike
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dinoc:
Hi I have a Nexus 7 first generation and recently I did 2 things:

- replaced the broken USB port

- and right after I have updated the software version to 5.1 (OTA update)

Soon after I've noticed an intermittent issue with the sound on some apps.

Is working for a while than after it stops working then later it works again, and so on (in apps, with youtube, or other app).

I can't pinpoint what the issue is, is it a hardware issue or a software issue. I tend to believe it might be a software issue, but not sure.

I did clear the Dalvin cache from recovery but the issue still persists.

Has anyone else encountered this kind of weird issue?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Untouchab1e:
So I got my Nvidia Shield a while back. The first thing I did when getting it was installing all the updates. Eventually after the final update was installed, I did a full factory reset of the device.

I have hardly any apps installed besides the essential Google applications, but my Nvidia Shield still feels remarkably slow. Chrome is practically unusable, and switching between apps is not a pleasant experience at all. That said, benchmarks and games perform wonderfully, which has me a bit puzzled. There doesnt seem to be any problems with memory leaks as there is plenty of RAM available. I do tend to restart it quite often just to see if it makes a difference, but I doesnt really feel like it has much of an impact.

Does anyone here have similar issues at all? I have worked with Android quite a bit and never have I experienced a system run Android so much worse than you would expect given the hardware specifications. My Nexus 10 feels a lot more snappy in general use.

Thanks for any help
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuffins:
All I can say is that I have a similar experience to you, although I have quite a lot of applications installed. I don't have any solutions for you, only to wait and hope that nvidia optimises the software for the hardware in the next update (Android 5.1 hopefully)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertorodast2007:
It's up to you, but I will recommend you to try this:

1) Unlock bootloader and Root (If you haven't).

2) Use CWM in this thread as custom recovery, I know TWRP is fancier but has some issues while flashing and wiping stuff, tending to not cleanly install things.

3) Try [MENTION=6411851]BitOBSessiOn[/MENTION] custom CM12 ROM here.

4) As stated there, avoid CM gapps, we don't know why but they are culprit of making the system lag A LOT making it almost unusable as you posted, specially if you frequently use Facebook and Chrome. Instead use the minimal gapps posted there.

5) Really important step: Activate Developer Options and disable all animations, lollipop men leak resides on a function called when the system draws them, so the only temporal fix for this is disabling them, after that, reboot and kill any bloatware app on options > apps (G+, FB, Messenger, Vine, Chrome, etc)

6) Profit
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirestarPwns:
I've had this problem too.

I just turned off battery saver. It got too low, automatically turned on and I didn't realize but when I turned it off, it got way faster.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Untouchab1e:
The Lollipop memleak bug is pretty easy to detect though and that's not what's causing the performance issue on the Shield Tablet. At least not in my case. While I would normally be the first to unlock my bootloader and port CM to my new device, I would want to keep my tablet stock.

Im glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing issues so Im going to assume that there's nothing specifically wrong with my device in particular. I guess Ill give Nvidia one more chance to rectify performance issues with their next update, otherwise I'm selling the tablet and buying a Nexus 9 or something else.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dape16:
I have the same experience. I have flashed the latest recovery image, unlocked and rooted. I have disabled apps I don't need and does not have a lot of apps installed. It is unbelievable slow. Like stated above Chrome is almost useless and switching apps is painful. I am using my Nexus 10 too, the Shield tablet will collect dust until there is a fix released.

If I have the time I will try flashing CM12 but I rather stay stock.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertorodast2007:
You should give it a shot...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertorodast2007:
Chrome lag totally solved. Most Nvidia apps work. Only deal breaker is the controller, but a ps3 controller can be paired via BT using sixaxis app.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
This has almost convinced me to switch to cm12.

If it just werent for the loss of Dabbler, some other Nvidia apps and the fact that I have a looooot of apps installed...

Not worried about gamepad, because I use an ipega 9023.

I may have found the holy grail of slow laggy freezy hell! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager under tasks go to 3 dot menu at top right choose minfree manager pick the top silder and max it out. Hit apply, let app stay in background and proceed with speedy happy days.

I don't know why but it won't keep the settings after boot no matter what I do but I can live with it now and don't fantasize about smashing it with a rock anymore.

I should mention short of non-stock Nvidia roms I tried EVERYTHING twice! This just works for 3 days now perfectly. I actually might even trust it in a week for actual work applications. My poor old Nexus 7 gen one was totally owning the Shield except for game until now.

I have a LTE USA model running rooted 4.4 Kit Kat. I would guess this will work with 5 as well.

And GRID also works fine. The only deal breakers (and the ones every dev is working hard to make em work on AOSP) are console mode and the controller wireless pairing.

That's contradictory. I have a really tiny LMK value for foreground apps (foreground= 8mb, Visible=16, secondary=32, hidden=64, content provider=96, empty=128 ) so apps in the foreground are killed only if system goes under 8mb of free ram, and have no lag, but I'm on CM12.1. So I really don't know how this is working but I'm glad for you. Although it may drain your battery faster BC android is killing apps as soon as they go to the foreground to keep that amount of free ram and is using more CPU cycles to load them back when you need them again, that's what I get. But anyone with more knowledge maybe could guide us why this is working???
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonpctech:
Interesting, it's working but I didn't even try any other variables. I will try your settings and get back. Needless to say battery life is next after usability.

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------

Ok tried your suggestion verbatim. It immediately was back in useless mode as I have been calling it. Without a reboot it took me at least 15min to get back to here. Still could not type so minmanged back to previous settings and its running. Weird.

My test would have been run Facebook, chrome & this app with poweramp music. Never got halfway before it got all James May on me. Are we running the same tablet? Any thoughts on why we could have opposed settings and get different successful results.

Also when it slows down it gets warmer the settings I'm using leave it pretty cool in comparison.

I'm on stock 5.0.1, 32gb SD + internal memory almost full. I experience some lag mainly with chrome and switching app. Yestetday I tried to set the power saver to "max performance" and the everything seems much smoother..
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquireSCA:
Make sure you SD cards are formatted with NTFS. exFAT is fine for 32gb, but if you have a 64GB or higher, the card needs to be formatted in a PC using NTFS...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonpctech:
Don't ever let your main ram storage memory get below 500meg.

If somehow you run out of memory,, let's say sub 10megs then all manner of weird things begin to happen including reboots and app crashing. You can jam that external sd1 card full however.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquireSCA:
I reset mine several times and tried everything I saw in these threads about the lagginess and stuff.

In the end, I found the solution. I returned the NST and exchanged it for a new iPad Mini 2 32gb Retina Screen... No really.

I love Android on the phone, but it just seems that the tablet arena isn't anywhere near as far along and sorted out yet. Buggy, almost too many options, so you wonder how much love each model gets from the manufacturer, etc... I hate to have a new tablet for $300, and the only way to get it to run the way it was supposed to run out of the box, is to void the warranty, root and install a custom ROM on it, and give up some features in the process.

I like ROMs for things that they do above and beyond the stock experience. I don't feel that I should pay that much for a device and have a ROM be a requirement just to get it to run decently...

So, for my tablet needs, I had to go to the dark side. Good luck!

I will still rock my Note 4 and don't see myself going to Apple for my phone needs any time soon, but for a general purpose tablet for Netflix, email, browsing and basic games... I agonized for hours over this but in the end I just pulled the trigger and exchanged it.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Edit
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquireSCA:
Well, glad I went to the iPad... Much better build quality, smoother and nicer screen. Obviously lacks some of the features and stuff of the NST though.

As far as Android tablets go, I plan to wait until the next gen NST comes out, hopefully with that monster X1 SoC chip powering it. I am sure that by then they will have gotten some of the bugs worked out and that will be an amazing platform.

Anyone know when that new X1 might find it's way into a new tablet?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuffins:
I just switched from Optimised to Max Performance and noticed an immediate boost in speed and I havent seen any lag yet!! Would really recommend people do this!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquireSCA:
I think that the problem is that the NST doesn't get great battery performance to begin with, so doing that will just degrade it further. It's probably the biggest gripe in every review I have read, the poor battery life...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOCKDOC_UA:
I have the same issues and tried all solutions I ever found. Nothing. I couldn't fix it. I suggest it's just a defect.

But as I am on my business trip I have no chance to refund it.

And my biggest problem is this is my 2nd Android tablet in row I found defective (Nexus 7 2013->Shield Tablet) and I hate iPads. Not iPads actually but iOS. I had 3 (mini, mini Retina, Air 2) in the past. So I'm loosing any hope to find a tablet that just works well ((
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelangosta:
Our NST has occasional SOD's( screen of death) aka it won't turn on without some combo of buttons and plugging it it. I'm holding out hope that we will get the 5.1 update soon and that will solve most of the problems like it has on our 2012 nexus 7. There aren't any other tablets out there that I find compelling.

Uninstall Facebook........it solved my laggy shield.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sQeetz:
Thanks a lot for the nudge in the right direction. The app you posted didn't work for me for some reason (the settings didn't stick after applying), but "Kernel Adiutor" does the same and a bit more and my tablet (ROW LTE) is finally usable again. :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Seriously this has sorted my lag problems, also use ghostery internet browser instead of chrome
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegas217:
Uninstall Facebook too.... I don't know what Facebook does but just being installed on the tablet causes problems... Makes the tablet slow and laggy.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dape16:
It is really laggy without Facebook installed too.

Since I needed the tablet to be useful I flashed CM12 instead of stock. I can't believe that it's the same tablet. With CM12 the Shield Tablet is lightning fast, even switching apps and browsing with Chrome goes without problems. No slowdowns or sudden freezing in apps or UI. Now I have only used CM12 for two days, but I hope it will stay fast and lagfree. At the same time I miss the stock experience, there are some features and settings missing in CM12 compared to stock.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuffins:
I have uninstalled Facebook, I've stopped using chrome and I'm using Firefox instead... It's so much smoother than it has ever been, although it could still use an update (and soon) from Nvidia with some 5.1 goodness... I had nearly considered selling my Shield and buying an old Nexus 7 2013 as my dad's one doesn't have any problems with lag. Nvidia really need to sort out the system performance as it is the only thing hindering this from being a great device. Its currently at a level of usableness that is bearable.

Lag is back even with the memory app.

Uninstalling apps and using other browsers to avoid lag? You should not have to do that...

Lollipop runs smooth on my Nexus 5 without any workarounds.

I've installed Kitkat (recovery image 1.2.1) again until nVidia (hopefully) sorts this buggy behaviour out.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnnar:
Guys on the official shield forum i've read that they are skipping OTA 2.3 and planning to release directly the 3.0 in may! They seems to know about the lag issue...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sQeetz:
Now that I've reverted it all back to KitKat, from my point of view, they can take all the time it takes to get it right. :)

Assumed nvidia does ever get it right... which I don't know.

I assume they won't, so I'm stuck with a tablet using Android KitKat forever.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
I've noticed that on first run, facebook is extreeeeeeemly slow. But I'm assuming that's due to how Lollipop runs thins on first-launch. If I let it finish doing its thing, I get no more slowdowns from facebook. Chrome gets smoother after doing the chrome max tiles setting as described in the LifeHacker article. It's worked fine for me so far. I've also run stock, BitO-R, and also teamEOS roms on the tablet, and I keep jumping between all 3 of them! lol

I am super excited for the next stock update though, hopefully nVidia fixed these performance issues; we know our hardware can handle it, so it has got to be a fixable thing in software!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Ive tried so many things to get this tablet running well, perhaps its not really for me, as i find myself using my old Nexus 7 2013 more often than this, its so much smoother and faster on everyday things like reading the news, facebook app runs perfectly and chrome also is fast and responsive, gaming is not to bad either on the ancient 2013 Nexus 7.

crazy really, i think it has to be with the optimisation of the Tegra K1, as my college at work has a Nexus 9 tablet and that has a fair amount of issues with Chrome and some games lag like crazy.

I have been testing side by side my nexus 7 and the Nvidia and most of the time apps launch at the same time if not faster on the Nexus 7.

Really wanted the Shield to be my perfect device, physically its amazing, speakers, stylus, screen, size, ports, and potentially it should be, but everyday usage is fairly poor, grid always crashes and runs awful, chrome even with the 512 fix runs ok but halts badly, facebook app crushes the device (just cant work this out) and halts and freezes, autorestarts happen most days, problem is I game about 20% and use the device as a tablet 80% so perhaps I am the wrong person for this beast.

I really dont want to flash CM12 on this as the controller and Nvidia stuff is really why I bought it, but Nvidia just dont seem to know about general tablet optimisation
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
Hopefully all of those things are solved in the upcoming 5.1 update that nVidia said they're gonna release. All of the issues we're experiencing are due to software, because custom ROMs do not have these lags etc. Let's hope nVidia gets the problems ironed out!

For the time being, set your max-tiles-for-interest-area to 512; and maybe set your Background Process Limit to 4. See if that helps things for you. I should mention that the Background Process Limit resets back to standard after a reboot, so you'll have to change this each time you reboot (which hopefully shouldn't be very often).

5.0.1 uses 512 MB swap space

I'm running stock on my SHIELD with all the latest updates and I noticed this thing is using a 512 MB swap space. That would explain how minfree could help and also why large apps are so painfully slow. I wish I could disable swap, but I'm not rooted. That also means I cannot use Memory Manager to adjust the minfree values. Since 5.1 is coming down the pipe I think I'll just wait and see how the new update works. I'm not absolutely sure the swap space is the culprit, but the symptoms seem to fit. (See the attached screen shot - the Swap section towards the bottom.)
