[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
This thread should be closed because everything said in it is moot. Since 3.1.1, these roms have been based off 3.49 and cleaned. Any differences are simply placebo.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Dishe:
well someone's acting a bit smug, aren't they.

gc14, many things go into DCD building a custom rom, often much more than just "cleaning up" a leaked rom. He's been in there in the XIP tinkering about which can cause night and day differences as far as performance and free memory from the "stock" leaked Sprint rom.

I'm not agreeing with anyone here (I haven't compared the two roms, right now testing some of no2chem's direct draw from the diamond support), however I felt the need to point out that your comments are neither helpful nor properly informed.

Unless you've conducted a test and posted your own thread about it that we don't know about, I'd write off your comments as mere speculation.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Someone asked for my insight...I gave it to them, period.

I know exactly what goes into building a custom rom. I didn't feel the need to go into all of it in this thread. As far as "tinkering in the XIP" goes, well, we'll just leave it at that.

Don't ask for me to post what I think, then get all bent out of shape when I post the truth. I won't say anything else about it, though trust me, my "speculation" isn't coming from nowhere and is very well informed.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Dishe:
Actually, you were technically asked to explain your cryptic condescending one liners.

You started with "You never cease to amaze me" and "This thread should be closed", without any explanation as if this was the memory leak, bluetooth, or some other bug that already have a million threads dedicated to it.

These are legitimate concerns that whether are placebo or not, deserve to be discussed and analyzed if people are noticing it.

Once again, you sort of forced them to ask what you think by posting usless condescending drivel. Don't be a jerk and then get bent out of shape when its pointed out publicly. :P

Really? Because if you're saying that nothing has changed from 3.1.1, I really don't think you do. Do you even know what the XIP is, or what changing components into modules means?

I haven't posted in XDA much lately, so I'll give you the benefit of thinking I'm a n00b. Since it appears we haven't met, I'll assume you also didn't know that dcd and I go back to before he was releasing roms, and we've kept in touch behind the scenes, often part of a group that gets to test and debug before he releases new ones. Dcd has told me what he's done to these releases, and I can honestly say that he's changed it enough to barely resemble the leaked rom, far less match its performance verbatim.

Your comments are not only baseless, but juvenile.

I recommend that you control your sarcastic tone and don't post unless it is somehow constructive to the thread. Otherwise, you're going to piss off some people who won't want to help you when the time comes.

As far as whether or not this is true (dcd's being slower than leaked "stock"), I don't know since I haven't performed any tests. It is possible that something he's tweaked to free up memory has effected performance elsewhere in the rom (similar things have happened in earlier roms). The drivers should be similar, however, so its most likely not an acceleration issue.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
The greatly ironic thing is, Dishe, you not knowing the background and direct involvement of the other you are attempting to knock down.

Dishe, I strongly suggest you to avoid a personal pissing fest with the posturing of you being better than another.

If you feel differently about a position then stick to the core of the topic rather than devolve into a battle of egos and calling another member a "jerk.".

....just my 2 cents. ;)

..but to add, I knew exactly what GC was inferring with his comment on the previous page.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
If I didn't know what the XIP is, or what modules were, I wouldn't have said I know what goes into building a custom rom now would I? :P

I also never said that nothing has changed from 3.1.1.

I never once thought you were a n00b, nor questioned your relationship with dcd. I'll give YOU the benefit of thinking I don't know what I'm talking about. I know all about the group, being part of it and all, hence how I know exactly what has been changed and what hasn't, as I personally tested 3.1.2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

I wouldn't say barely resemble the leaked rom.

However, I can say that my comments are not baseless.

Key, I agree 100%
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
setlle down :)

there could be a slight difference due to cache sizes. people wanted more free ram, so i reduced cache. this reduces speed (but i didnt think it was noticable personally)

i did benchmark the 3.35 oemxipkernel vs 3.49 and found that 3.35 was actually a tiny bit faster, so i'm still using it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yeah, that was the first question you asked me during testing, whether or not speed was reduced due to the cache changes. I didn't notice any difference either.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] thanito:
My rhr dies not work on my galaxy watch active 2, it always shows - -.

A few days ago I changed the hrm from periodic to constant and I noticed this thing with the resting heart rate two days ago, not sure if it worked before this change or before the last firmware update.

I also made a Google search and found many topics with users having the same problem, with no solution.

Any ideas? Does resting heart rate work for you gwa2 owners?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] olvin2983:
Hello everyone it been a long time since ive been on here and maybe hoping to find some help with my phone issue.

My s9 plus just stopped working a few months back when its plugs in the samsung logo pops up and on go any further it wont let me do any type of reset the only thing it will let me do is set it into download mode . Never messed with flashing it or anything like that before this problem . When i plug it into my computer it wont connect it makes the noise like it did but nothing .

I tried using odin but kept failing not sure what to do any help would be appreciate.

I apologize if i put this in the wrong forum .

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sarjarim:
If u're not in root or any other tempering, then maybe hardware issue. I would suggest check on ur local samsung service center.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Yes, I would agree with the above answer.

If you are out of warranty then you probably have to try to fix it yourself

Can you answer the following questions?

>What sort of error are you getting on Odin

>Have you installed the latest Samsung adb drivers?

>Is Odin even recognizing your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
and i agree with the post above mine despite the odd way it was worded.

This is probably very fixable man, im certain that if it is physically fixable, then we can get you there. Youre already a good chunk of the way there. Your computer makes the "dun-dunk" noise when you plug the phone in via usb, right? You already have Odin. When Odin is running and you have the phone plugged in, what does it say in the upper left hand corner? there is a big square and a little rectangle below it, the little rectangle should show "COM:##" but the ## is actual numbers. Doesnt matter what the numbers are, as long as its showing numbers, Odin is ready to go.

Reply with this stuff and we can get you there bro
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] olvin2983:
my warranty has expired

I have samsung driver installed but when i connect my phone to my computer samsung driver doesn't pull anything up.

once i have everything setup on odin and press start it will take a few moments then it will say fail on the top left box or in the description box on the left .

odin picks up my phone when connected the smaller box will light up and say something like com8 .

hopefully it something im doing wrong not sure its been a little while since ive messed with flashing anything .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] olvin2983:
yes it makes that noise when i connect my phone but for some reason samsung drivers doesn't pick it up .

my phone connects to odin when i put it in download mode the rectangle box lights up blue with the com in it and also says added in the big box below

I ordered mine today from Clove and payed extra for the Saturday delivery....however when i put in my tracking no. into Royal Mail it says it will be delivered on the 23rd (Monday) !!! Ahhhh!

Is this just a flaw with their systems, has anyone else see this?

Yours, impatiently.....:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
Are you sure it doesn't say words to the effect of "Delivered at the latest by"

Sometimes they say that but if you paid Saturday it should get there Saturday. If it doesn't the postage gets refunded to the person who paid the shipping anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Citylink don't do saturday delivery so they use royal mail.

Royal Mail always sets the delivery date +2 working days, or +1 if its over a weekend.

I'm not sure if you'll get it on saturday, it'll depend alot on when they passed it onto royal mail.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
It says 'We have received your item and expect to deliver it before the guaranteed time on 23/06/08'....I guess that could be interpeted as meaning before the 23rd or before the guaranteed time ON the 23rd......mmmm...I hate not knowing!:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Bugger. It was quite a late order (about 4:45pm) but I did ask if they could get it by Saturday and they said yes. Their confirmation email isnt much use but on the invoice it says 'SAT SPECIAL' at the bottom....maybe its just Royal Mail...:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
I've used Saturday delivery with Royal Mail before - the Royal Mail tracking system doesn't allow for Saturday Tracking - I'm pretty impatient (36 year old child) and felt very let down thinking I would have to wait until Monday BUT it did arrive :) if you check early tomorrow morning it should say either "received by sorting branch" or "out for delivery" if your going to receive it.... Good Luck.....!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Thanks, thats great news :) Will check in the morning...probably sit excitedly on the end of my bed like the 29 year old child I am!:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Let us know if you get your new toy on time!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
I ordered from Clove today myself, asked them to ship it via royal special delivery saturday which they said no problem. Placed my order this morning and the guy said that i should have it by tommorrow.

In the past i have had special delivery items arrive on a saturday so i would expect mine to be with me tommorrow...if not ill be one sad bunny:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Got it! I should really have more faith - Clove have always been good.:)

Wow! What a box! I can't believe how small and light the device is considering whats cramned inside!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blob8me:
Really pleased for you...... I know what its like having to wait...... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
haha yeah i think we all thought that when we opened our boxes.

My delivery experience was funny, i got mine from Hong Kong (and you thought you were impatient lol,) so i order the thing yeah, it takes about 12 hours to get from the guy in Hong Kong to London Heathrow, it then takes 35 hours to get for the airport to me, and i live in London!! lol travels around the world 3 times faster than it can travel from London, to London lol! anyway still very good to get it in 2 days from HK! so no complaints really :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Right got my Diamond this morning...was quite excited...was up at 8am lol:p. Anyways quite impressed with the box...its like a small pyramid..very cool and swish if i must say so.

The phone itself is small, didnt realise just how small it was and slim. Only major problem with the phone is that its a dust and finger magnet...ive never come across a phone that attracts so much dust and fingerprints...hell my nokia 8600 luna is a finger magnet but nothing on the scale of the Diamond.

Anyways am happy i finally got it but to be honest, im not that impressed with the device...sure it looks nice and all but touchflo is stupidly laggy even tho im running 1.37 rom as its a uk spec diamond. The sensitivity of the screen isnt very good...i definitely prefer my ipod touch...the touchscreen on that is simply amazing compared to the Diamond. In fact its so annoying that i use the stylus rather than my finger.

Anyways im keeping till the weekend is over then ill make up my mind as to whether or not to keep it or send it back...as much as i love the form factor...i cant see myself getting on with this phone...im already noticing silly little annoyances. But ill definitely know by monday and if it does go back then ill wait for the Xperia X1 i think. Hopefully the touchscreen on that will be much much better than the Diamonds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Do a screen align and tap the points realllly lightly (just tap super lightly and increase the pressure until it senses it). This will make it ALOT more sensative.

It will take the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold

from about 34 decimal to 55 decimal. Or you can edit the key directly and set it to 240 decimal. You'll notice a HUGE difference in everything except touchflo which will have some difference but not huge..

Touchflo seems to use this key as well:

HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\fingurepressure

I've fiddled with it and changing it from 19 to 2 seems to make a marked difference. Still not enough for me tho!

It seems the glass covering the diamond screen is the culprit. Not sure how much we can do about that. But i agree i hate the screen sensativity, or lack of it i should say.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Hi mate...i tried re-aligning the screen etc but even the lightest of taps doesnt seem to register...messed around with it and to be honest theres not much you can do i suppose...the sensitivity is pretty dire to say the least.

Oh well guess ill just keep trying till i get it right...:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Yeah realigning the screen didnt do too much for me, but changing the reg key did. BTW you need to soft reset afterwards.

If you change the finger pressure key, it takes affect about 5 to 10 seconds after touchflow loads.

The way i test it is to scroll with your finger from home to programs and back again over and over. Decrease the pressure with your finger and at some point you'll notice when you get to home or programs it starts drawing the program/home screen, as if you released your finger.

I was *****ing about this all day yesterday! But i tweaked it as best i could, forgot about it, and today its actually quite usable. I think some of it was in my head!

If only we could find an app which reads the pressure on the screen and displays it, then we could scientifically press at the same level and see the difference.

anyone know of such an app?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Hmmm i know what you mean...my problem is that im probably expecting it to be quick when really it isnt ie when i scroll my finger quickly across to say internet...it takes a few secs before it actually get there and opens up the app.

Im going to give the screen re-alignment another go and if that doesnt sort it out then i guess ill have to edit the registry...only thing i havent a clue as to how to do it lol..im a noob when it comes to things like this etc.

If you dont mind someone, could you explain to me what values you changed and what they were etc??.

Also when you say soft reset the device??..do you mean after ive done the screen re-alignment or after i tweaked the registry of the phone??.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Oh wow! you havnt applied any of the tweaks!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398265

I applied 1, 3, 10, 15, 16, 18.

Don't apply 2, it just ups the tweak you did in 1 from 8b to 16mb, and you run out of memory on the UK rom!

You'll notice a huge difference. To edit the registry you can use sktools or resco explorer (add registry plugin from the menu if its not there).

You can get a trial of resco here:

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp

You need to soft reset after you edited the registry. After you done these, then post again about what you think of it, you'll be surprised at the difference!

Your a star mate:), havent applied the tweaks as i only got the phone this morning and sadly ive had to come into the office :mad:. But ill give those tweaks a go later tonight...didnt realise it was worth putting them on because i was udner the impression that they only applied to the 1.34 or 1.35 roms.

Thanks again:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
hehe no, huge difference on any roms.

I know how you feel, thursday i got my phone and less than 1 hour later i had to go out for a meeting. I had the touch decision to leave it in the office charging, or take it with me... i took it with me lol

Todays the first proper whole day i've had with it.. fiddling with tomtom7 now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Had to go out so just unplugged it and turned it on. Mmmmm...first thing that struck me is that the screen is'nt aligned straight within the phone....it leans to the right...I'm fussy and a bit OCD but noticed it straight away...anyone else got this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
hmm i'm very OCD too

you just got me really worried for a second. But nope mine is completly straight
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
It's weird...its like if you look right at the bottom of the screen and then compare it to the bit with the hardware buttons at the bottom its definately lopsided on mine....looks like its gotta go back. Still, will give me a valid excuse if I decide not to keep it come Monday...like it so far (apart from the lopsidedness) but not too confident given the reviews and posts on here from users...still will give it a couple of days and see.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Hmm do you mean the gap between the glass covering the screen and the plastic covering the hardware buttons?

Yeah there's its not completly even, but very close.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Well mines perfectly fine:D:p...no wonky or wobbly bits and im a bit OCD as well...in fact i was loathed to take the plastic screen protector off mine today as this phone is a finger and dust magnet. In the end i decided to do it as the phone just wasnt responsive enough with it on,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Maybe mines worse.... or maybe I'm worse....not sure but I know it will do my head in. If I like the phone I think I'll ask for a swap and see if a new one is any better, if not I hope they are OK about returns at Clove.

You think you'll keep yours?

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
What variant do you have and what version firmware are you on? Many issues were fixed on later Oreo builds but some people are still on early Oreo or even Nougat.

Make sure you are on at least latest Oreo. Or even Pie (but there's nothing about pie right now that is superior to Oreo).

If that doesn't help, or you're already on the latest Oreo, then factory reset your phone and set it up again.

That's all I can suggest, as you say you have already experimented with call settings. It's only happening to your phone. I and several friends and family members all have this phone (on stock Oreo) and make phone calls every day -- including using speaker phone -- with no echoing.

You still didn't answer the question about firmware. I mentioned later Oreo had fixes over Nougat and early Oreo -- and you just replied you were on Oreo. :)
