[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus5nexus6:
Persistently setting cpu frequency

I can't seem to set the cpu frequency. I've tried a number of utilities (e.g. cpufreqd / cpufrequtils), as well as just manually editing the cpu frequency using commands like:

echo performance | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

Doing this works for a short time, but as soon as I do any cpu-intensive work, the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq seems to be overwritten.

This doesn't happen if I boot into android, and use an app like SetCPU, and then do the same amount of cpu work.
[Moto G 2015 General] nrp31:
So I have been using the Moto G 2015 for a month now and thought that I would make a review for the same.Here is a short summary of my review which can be found on youtube here https://youtu.be/Zxvkvzr1OPk

Pros:-

1.Stock Android:- Very smooth and snappy on the Moto G.The animations are very smooth and there's barely any lag or stutter while using the phone on daily basis.

2.Updates:-Motorola has always been great with updates and even this time, the Moto G 2015 should get the Android 6.0 Update soon after the official launch

3.Amazing Battery Life:- I could easily touch 5 hours of screen on time with AutoSync On, Wifi On, Bluetooth On(with my Moto 360).On a heavy day with 3G data and no wifi, I could still get more then 4 hours of Screen on time over a 13-15 hour long day.Even my LG G4 or the Galaxy S6 cannot touch this type of battery life on my normal usage.

4.Decent internals:-The Snapdragon 410 and 2GB of RAM do a great job when it comes to daily use and multitasking.I could play most of the games on the phone without any issues and overall, for $200, You can't ask for more.

5.Expandable Storage:- This is a huge plus on the device as you can add upto 32GB of Memory Card along with the 16GB of internal storage

6.4G LTE and Dual SIM

Cons:-

1.Camera:- While decent in daylight,The low light performance is poor and the Motorola Camera app is something that I don't like that much

2.Display:-The 720p IPS Panel is not that sharp and crispy and contrast/color reproduction is poor too.But at this price point, I think this is fine

Overall, at this price point,The Moto G 2015 is a great buy.For more in depth coverage,including camera samples, Do watch my full review of the phone here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxvkvzr1OPk

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allosander:
Bricked after ODIN flash

Started out with 5.0.1 rooted. Flashed TWRP and CM 12.1 which went great. Wanted to go back to stock Android so I downloaded 5.1.1 from Sammobile, put my phone into Download Mode (without wiping it) and just flashed it with ODIN. It failed, and now I can't go into recovery, neither start it "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again". Read somewhere that I could flash a pit file, but I will probably brick it for good if I try that. Does anyone know what I could do?

Note 4 (N910F).

Solved it after several attempts of flashing different modified versions of stock roms

[Elephone P8000] lenovop780:
Questions/Issues - Camera, ROM, Battery, Mobile Internet Strength...

Hi all..

I am new to this phone as previously I was on the lenovo p780, a jewel except for its low RAM and Storage Capacity. Over the months, several Custom ROM came out which made this phone more powerful.

On the contrary, I understand that the P8000 is very new; hence I see only FlyMe OS Custom ROM available. Before, we speak of the ROM, perhaps, I could list down the numerous problems currently being encountered on the phone.

Problems:

1. The Camera is not good at all in terms of quality of image which most probably lays on the lighting parameters. I believe it's a software issue as I understand that the camera hardware is a good one; Samsung!

2. Secondly, my Lenovo P780 had a 4000mAH battery unlike the P8000 which has one roughly higher. Still, I notice that the battery drains down quite fast; although I make it throughout the day - something I need to point out. But I would have expected it to go as long as 2 days as with the Lenovo P780 I could make it up to 1 and half days with heavy usage.

3. 3rd party apps crashes when using camera and sometimes other options available with the current ROM.

4. I notice that the Internet speed is very slow; be it for the WIFI and most importantly the Mobile Internet. For starters I cannot get the 4G as stated in the specs. The best I get is the 3G although I find it very slow compared to the 3G I was getting with my Lenovo. On the second slot, I am getting only 2G. Am I supposed to be getting for than the 2G on the second slot.

5. While trying to flash the FlyOS ROM onto the phone, I am having troubles to get the phone recognised by my PC although I tried all the solutions provided on numerous forums. Still nothing! If somebody have been able to get it recognised on a Windows 10, please PM me.

Therefore, to end this thread, I would like to know if somebody has been able to address these issues and if others too are having the same problems. Has FlyOS been able to address those issues?

Finally, anybody out there who has the capacity to Port other successful ROMS?

Looking to hear from all of you.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devenda:
I upgraded and rooted my new Z3 Compact the moment I received it.

I have not evaluated the contrast nor the battery usage before I updated my phone.

Now I have notices horrible battery life (worse than my 1,5 year old Z1 Compact) and horrible contrast issues (When I unlock the phone and sometimes under normal usage). Most noticeable by a dark black border around white items (also in status bar). I have not turned 'high contrast' mode on.

I turned X Reality off (I saw no difference) but my screen looks different than my Z1 Compact (nicer actually, but way to 'hot').

Anyone have a clue what's going on?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrique71:
The latest round of Google updates screwed up my battery usage, before I was going to bed @ 100% and 7 hours later at @98% .. today, I woke up at 80%!! So I agree, something was broken and the only thing that changed on my end was updates to Google App and Google Services.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
Turn off adaptive brightness for the contrast issue to go. That's the only solution for now
[Amazon Fire Phone] timosaur:
Slimkat won't turn on after reboot

I was running latest Slimkat (8/28) and rebooted the phone using the reboot menu option from holding the power button. It was plugged into a charger at the time.

A while later I noticed it still wasn't on. I tried pressing buttons, holding the power button for 30 sec., etc. The phone was a little warm before I did the reboot, not sure if that is part of the issue.

Has anyone had their phone unable to be turned on after a reboot? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance.

I can't post in the development forums yet, so forgive me if this post is in the wrong place.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
A "little warm" during usage (watching videos / gaming) or charging is not unusual.

If you're using something like a TPU case, the heat from the back of the phone can't esacpe that quickly...

Running SlimKat for a week now, several reboots and complete power off. No problems.

What was your battery percentage when you started charging / at the time of the reboot?

Does it show the "charger icon" / battery percentage when you plug in the charger now or is there no reaction at all?

Discussions about custom ROM related issues are supposed to be in "General" or "Q&A / Help", so you chose the right place. ;) (The development forum is meant for actual DEV material only)
[Amazon Fire Phone] timosaur:
Thanks for the reply.

The phone is unresponsive when plugged into a charger. No battery logo, doesn't seem to be charging (no heat).

I just tried plugging it into my Windows PC, and device manager is saying:

"A request for the USB device descriptor failed."

No response plugging it into a mac.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
Yikes. Faulty hardware, worst case scenario? But from what you described, quite likely...

Did you buy it from one of the big Ebay deals or directly from Amazon? I think it's time to contact "them". :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] timosaur:
????????? The phone seems to have come back to life, after trying random chargers. The current charger started charging after maybe 30 minutes of no response.

The battery is charging from 0%. I know when the problem occurred yesterday, battery was nowhere close to 0. So the battery had to drain and reset somehow.

Thanks for all the help. I did buy from Amazon, and I'm within my return period... still on the fence if I should return or not.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
Can you check the Amazon charger with a multimeter? Maybe he's responsible...

Let's see if it charges properly and also how fast the battery drains afterwards.
[Amazon Fire Phone] timosaur:
I was using a third party charger, I'll check when I get the chance. Not sure how to measure those tiny pins
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I had to go back to stock charger when running slimkat.

Bingo gave me something to think about though. How well do these phones handle high temps/how well do they cool down? I can count on one hand how many random reboots I've had. Strangely it hasn't occurred when playing high res video. But my case, which I really like, provides little to no ventilation (glass on front and back, plastic wrapped with thick rubber on the side). I'm reluctantly going to ask--should I find a case that at least opens up the back?

I'm having no issues aside from common bugs with the custom Roms. But I don't want to slowly cook this thing either. Anyone know about the heat sink we have?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
That's just me being nosy ^^ You could measure it directly from the USB port of the charger (the outer pins).

I remember that case, KLit75, I believe it was from the "clunky tank" series. ;) The Snapdragon 800 starts throttling around 145.4 °F, iirc.

A case like this slows down the cool down process, no doubt, but a "naked" phone can get just as hot on the

inside

.

I guess there's a small advantage with a naked phone as long as the surrounding temperature is low enough to make a real difference and keeping it a bit cooler in the long run.

My default settings keep the CPU around 82 - 88 °F for things like browsing, maximum was 113 °F when playing videos for a longer time with MX Player (HW+ codec setting).

I think I will remove the back cover, rip out the NFC connector, apply some copper foil and drill some holes in the back (Homer Simpson style) for elite cooling results. :laugh:
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
[MENTION=6709669]Bingo Bronson[/MENTION], above and beyond with the info! Many Thanks!!!
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
Follow up on CPU settings: (since this thread is getting slightly off the track already ^^)

Since we have to use the voltages (see pic below) provided by the Kernel, I guess I don't save much battery life with these settings, less heat most likely, since the max. freq. is limited the whole time and the Governor scales down faster.

[IMG="Voltages"]http://i.imgur.com/GEvdfED.png[/IMG]

But then, there's also this:

Keeping the input boost freq. low may have a little impact on battery life when you have a lot of interaction with the screen, as in "much tapping ➜ much boost ➜ much CPU".

Even with the currently lowered settings, I get "only" 3 days battery life with mobile data enabled.

I will lower my max. freq. to the same as input boost freq., both set to 960 MHz @ 800 mV and see how it goes (with the CPU set this low, it might be even worse since it needs more time to compute a task ^^)

Yes, I'm aware that these settings only qualify for basic phone & messaging usage.
[Amazon Fire Phone] timosaur:
Haha the charger that caused the issue is one of those direct to microusb chargers.. the ones without a USB port. Never trusting one of those again.

How did the 960 go? I've been running at a 1.5Ghz max and I've been happy with it running over a day. I can't find input boost in the app I'm using but would that explain why the CPU jumps over 1.5 sometimes?
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
Yep, had a similar experience with one for my Raspberry Pi 2. It worked for ~ 3 hours, then the Pi didn't boot up. I bought a "good" charger with 5V / 2.4A, turns out he delivered 4,5x volts at best, s#it happens sometimes...

It's decent, right now 46% charge left since unplug, I had multiple longer calls yesterday and some more than ususal texting, needed to take some phots with flash...

Performance is enough for basic tasks. The "multicore power saving" is another thing...

I wonder if it uses less voltage, I guess the voltage indications are meant for "all cores active" but how much lower is the voltage with only 1 core active, if at all...

Yes, that explains it.

Input boost is usually set to max. freq. so that the CPU goes "full throttle" everytime the screen is tapped (for that fluid Android experience ^^).

Limiting it may have (some) benefits for "heavy tapping" users. ;)

Side note: I flashed the SlimKat v2015/09/15 build at 95% charge.

Side side note: I started using the 960 MHz setting at around 78% charge.

Two questions;

1- do you know if there are any plans for a Smartwatch 4?

2- I am looking into the Smartband 2(SWR12) since this has a Heart Rate monitor and my SW3 hasn't. Can the two work together, won't they conflict if I use them both? Can I use the Smartband with Runkeeper by the way, so walk without watch and phone?

(Okay, that are actually more than 2 questions, sorry)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
Just to say that my SW2 and my SWR10 do not works together ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] olafd72:
There is no benefit or do they conflict? In other words, I cannot wear them both?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dersie:
Just retry today and the Smartband App load an update for the SWR10 and now I have the SW2 with SmartConnect and the Smartband Talk connected at same time.

SW2 and SWR10 have common Sony app (Smart Weather for example). When I first try, the phone do not find the SWR10 when the SW2 was connected.

With SW3 it is a Wear device so do not think there are conflict between Wear and Sony App.

Nexus 7 keyboard and on-screen buttons not working

Hey guy, since quite a while, my nexus 7 has been randomly giving me this problem, which only got worse with time. Every now and then the keyboard would refuse to show up when I tap on a textbox. When this happens, my back button would also stop working. Also, YouTube videos would go all black (no video) while the audio continues to play and/or the on-screen controls would refuse to hide after a while.

I googled a bit and found out that greenify and xposed are causing this problem but in my case even getting rid of them didn't solve the problem. I even uninstalled every new àpp, reverted every new changes but no luck.

I'm really getting sick of this problem and this is the last time I'm seeking for any help before I go ahead and format my device. I'm a bit techie (the reason why I don't wanna go the format way) but this one's really gotten to my nerves.

I'm on KitKat 4.4.4 using Pacman Rom (KK RC-3 dev) with the kernel ElementalX v3.4.0.

I've frozen literally every app I could blame for this issue.

Please help me out guys!!!

[XDA Assist] foolioGrimz:
When I woke up today to get ready for work, my rooted Z740g was on the beginning tutorial for setting up the phone. While I was asleep the phone reset itself and erased everything I had on the phone storage. When I tried setting up the phone to see what was going on, the default keyboard app was not there! I had to use google voice to download a keyboard app from a website other than the google play store. No one had physical access to my phone and I had no other device sign ins on my google account history. I didn't grant any strange programs super user permission except for android lost. I didn't see any logs in androidlost and it uses my google account to sign in and I wasn't seeing any strange devices on that log. Do you think that this is some strange fluke or some type of malicious attack? My internal storage was almost full and occasionally my phone would reboot on its own and had various small bugs like battery monitoring being inaccurate on occasion. I'm worried about security breaches on my phone because I have seen how easy it is for someone to access the microphone, camera and any files on the device. I removed my sim and had to change all my online passwords.

Would flashing a rom completely remove any malware that might be on the device?

edit: I just noticed that there were two versions of chrome on my phone when I was trying to figure out what happened earlier today. I did notice that chrome looked different. I see a version 39 from before the wipe occurred and now I have version 28.0.1500.94 I looked up release dates and version 28 was released in 2013 and the phone wasn't even released until sometime in 2014. What gives?
