[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
have you tried ##778# ...works on the rom i am using, which is sprint based

just a thought
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigslanki:
i think i tried it i could be wrong....i'll try again

are you using the eris port? zenexp 0.9.2? or the other guys rom based for hero?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
currently using aloysius v9, but I have used this port and it is pretty slick
[Droid Eris Android Development] zenulator:
New Rom is up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scarfoot:
Silly question - is the new rom based on the current leak?

This looks really awesome, thanks for the hard work!!

what bugs does the new rom fix?

Thanks!!!

[Droid Eris Android Development] zenulator:
See the link to my thread in my signature. A lot has been fixed. At least for the Sprint hero. I've been using it as my daily Rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
anyone know the ETA of getting 9.4.2 ported over to the eris? I just read up on the fixes it includes, and I am ready to give it a go..kinda bored with my EE 2.0 now..
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigslanki:
nice work, how is the EPST working on the sprint. or diag mode?
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
I've ported over 9.4.2 tonight, it only needed minor fixes to be functional. So far everything I've tested works, except a few buttons - which I'm working on now.

I don't want to step on hector's toes, so I don't plan to release it, but if you PM me I'd be more than happy to share what I have :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
I am having the same trouble with those few buttons as well..hopefully we can get a fix uploaded...:confused:thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] hector93:
Which buttons?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
home,menu and back..can someone double check theirs and if yours is working on ur eris, i will just reflash my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] br125:
works fine here...
[Droid Eris Android Development] mwest316:
gonna go thru wipe and reflash again, prob. went thru too fast..
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Are you using 0.9.4.2?

Unless Hector included the desirec keylayout files in his build, the home, menu, back and search keys won't work.

When porting 0.9.4.2 over it didn't include the desirec files (why would it, right? lol) so I included them in my build. I intend to forward this info to Hector as well, and I'm sure he'll update asap :)

-mak
[Droid Eris Android Development] br125:
Yes, also I've found that the 'people' widget force closes...
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Thank you for letting me know..
[Droid Eris Android Development] hector93:
Hmm, it works for me. Not sure but ill look more into it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hector93:
Mine has the Usr Keys also, its just prob he didnt wipe right lol! JK, seriously.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
The keys should be the same as they were for the last update.. I'm not sure what happened there, but at least it's worked out now :)

Onto bigger things..

hello, i found my old g1 and got really excited because i got rid of it a few months ago to get the cliq and then i was sadly disappointed because of how awesome the g1 was. I never had the guts to root the G1 but after rooting my cliq i feel more confident. I would love to explore the possibilities but when i try to boot up my G1 it looks like when you used to play NES and the game had dust in it and you had to blow on it to make it not boot up with a whole bunch of lines. i wanted to search the forum but i wasn't really sure what to search for. Anyone that can offer an assistance i would love it. Thanks everyone

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtentpeg:
No, kernels do get overwritten. But, in some cases, caches can causes issues with the system interaction with the radio. Undervolting WILL screw with your radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
Why is that?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
What cache are you talking about?

Unfortunately because of this experience I don't feel like messing with my phone again :-(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
i would also like to hear why undervolting the processor would affect radio signal, as i did not think that the power supplied to the transceiver would be any different.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Running many devices at voltages outside of optimal parameters shortens their lives even if they function normally for a while. Under volted motors can burn up, which is why power brown outs can be especially dangerous. Could low voltage impact a radio? Yep - I learned that lesson in playing with early solid state ham radios. The radio is especially susceptible if the radio voltage is already automatically adjusted to conditions.

I don't what exactly is under volted with these UV kernels. I assume the CPU is under volted, but what else? Who has physically tested voltages at various places to confirm expected results?

One thing is for sure - if nothing other than the CPU voltage is adjusted with the UV kernel, then it's highly unlikely under volting caused your problem.

But if the voltage adjusted is more systemic, then the UV kernel could absolutely have an impact on the life of any component in the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Just to add to what's already been said... I have yet to see solid evidence that undervolting really makes a substantial impact on battery life. If you really want to root, don't overclock the processor or undervolt it. The extra 113mHz you're getting isn't worth it, IMO. The phone's already fast stock...so with the .32 kernel it's probably more than adequate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Right.

Further, if you expect to improve battery life by lowering CPU voltage, you also need to lower the frequency of the clock. Ohms law applies - it takes X amount of watts to do any task with electricity, that amount varies from device to device. But the wattage required to do a specific job with a specific device remains constant. There are two variables that determine power (wattage) - volts and amps. Decrease voltage, and the device will draw more current (amperage) to do the task.

In the case of a CPU, in you overclock (expecting it to perform at a higher level) then you need to supply more power. If you raise the clock speed and lower the voltage, then the current MUST increase accordingly. I don't understand how lowering voltage without lowering the workload (clockspeed) could possibly improve battery life, and I don't see any valid testing to prove that whatever is being done really works.

All that said, I still have no idea how available voltage mods are impacting the mean time between failure rates of handsets they are installed on. Benefits are anecdotal IMO, until I see some valid test data and a better explanation of what's going on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Is there a way to check the kernel version in the phone?

Also if I want to try out a custom ROM, how do I make sure that I keep the .32 kernel (which I'm assuming you mentioned because it is the default kernel) ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
settings > about phone

and, i'm running intersectraven's avs kernel. it does seem to help battery life. it adjusts voltage based on cpu demand
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archangelugp:
Sorry I saw this and felt its nessisary to comment on it.

When you overclock a processor a general rule is that you increase the voltage to the processor to provide stability. (Since more clock cycles typically require more power. Not every chip is manufactured the same, it may be the same model, but they are fabricated differently. One processor might be stable with less voltage compared to another one from a different batch of processors.)

With the N1, Google ensured stability by increasing the voltage sent to the processor. As time has shown, the roof Google put on the device for stability could be lowered and still have a stable phone. (Hence 1000mv to 800mv stable.) Underclocking or undervolting WILL NOT DAMAGE a processor in no way shape or form. It doesn't happen. ONLY when you overvolt a processor do you risk damaging it. (More voltage = more heat) (I'm not saying you can't brick phones from doing it, just simply saying you are not damaging the hardware itself.)

Typically every device inside a phone has its own regulated voltage, if the radio voltage hasn't been touched, undervolting your processor shouldn't affect the stability of the radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
"seem to" is sort of anecdotal. Battery life is a hard thing to measure on something like a mobile phone, because the test parameters change so much from day to day in normal operation.

In order to test battery usage from kernel to kernel properly, the phone needs to be fully charged and then run a looping task that logs with a timestamp. All other system tasks and features running as this task runs need to be documented, and the phone cannot be used otherwise. When the battery dies, it should leave a log that notes the time the task started and the time the task ended, provided the phone didn't crash mid-write.

If the clock frequency is determined by load, then the loop needs to be adjusted so that the CPU can idle longer between loop cycles, this way a matrix can be built measuring battery performance under different loads. The test should be rerun with several different loop intervals, and each result documented carefully.

Then change out the kernel and repeat each test exactly the same way. Proper testing is meticulous work, and until it's done, we have no idea what, if any impact an under volted kernel has on battery life.

This may not be the best way to test, and it surely isn't the only way, but something with more control than day to day phone use is needed to prove that battery life is actually improved.

I have yet to see any kind of test designed, and I have no clue how it could work, unless undervolting results in under clocking. Same work has the same energy requirement. If a lower voltage means a lower CPU clock, then yes, it can work, like speed stepping does on a PC. Under heavy use, an overclocked CPU is going to use more energy, regardless of how voltage is applied while it is overclocked. Since the screen uses a pretty hefty percentage of power when in use and with all the data pushes going on with these devices, I don't see overclocking helping much unless the device is throttled down and sleeping far more than it is used.

Ohms law.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
As voltage decreases at a given CPU frequency, amperage must increase. An extension cord used properly should be cool. Overloaded, voltage will drop and current is increased to meet the power requirement of the load, increasing heat. So reducing heat is not as simple as lowering voltage - the load must be lowered.

Your point about each device having it's own voltage regulator is well taken, and while they will protect individual devices (like radios) from damage from voltage variances, there is still no proof that an overclocked/undervolted CPU improves battery life with moderate use, however power is applied. To lower power requirements, the workload must be lowered accordingly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
You guys seem pretty knowledgeable about all this. What do you think happened to my phone that I stopped getting reception at home but as soon as I got it back from HTC it was fine? All they did was un root the phone and re lock the boot loader. What did they do that I didn't do by re flashing the ROMs and trying 3 different radios? They didn't seem to have messed with any hardware.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
It's very unlikely that they simply unrooted and relocked the bootloader. Is the serial number of the system board the same? I suspect that HTC determined that the radio was defective and the system board was replaced, explaining why your screen protector was dislodged. You weren't charged for a new system board because they attributed the failure to hardware and gave you a pass. With a new system board the phone was once again boot loader locked.

It was probably a bad radio module completely unrelated to anything you did. It happens, and that's my guess at this point.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
i'm also running intersectRaven's undervolted kernel and have not had any issues with signal on my Nexus 1 / at&t version. it's been a solid 4-bars with "H" speeds. with the T-Mobile version I would consistently experience 3G signal drops and reconnects, but did not think it was due to the kernel. battery life was good but usually suffered due to signal issues. fyi, i created a Nandroid of my T-Mobile version and restored to my at&t version. the only difference is the radio. and i can say through my testing that my battery is lasting longer; probably due to better signal strength. i really appreciate the feedback and comments from those more knowledgeable than me on the kernels. i'll continue to monitor my device going forward.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcxquake:
Please state your source, as that isn't ohms law at all. "Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them."

Or, in another form:

v=ir

If you drop the voltage, the right side of the equation must also go down. We can assume that resistance stays approximately the same (this isn't true, but it is close enough). Thus, current (i) must also go down.

The power equation is p=iv. Rmember, both current AND voltage go down. Thus, power must go down as well. Substituting for i, we get p = v^2 / r. So power is directly proportional to the square of voltage. Decreasing the voltage from 1275 mV to 800 mV actually reduces power consumed by over 60%. Wow.

Of course, you can't actually reduce voltage by that much and keep the same clock speed. However, my point was that reducing voltage reduces power, which remains true.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert-qfh:
That's wrong. The reason is not all power goes into doing useful things like switching transistors, a lot of it is lost for charging/discharging the capacitances of on-chip wiring, I/O busses, and parasitic capacitances as any transistor has them (dynamic power, used while switching). The dissipation loss is P = C*V^2*f, i.e., it is linear in the frequency and quadratic in the voltage. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS#Power:_switching_and_leakage for details. This is the main reason why undervolting saves power.

This article is a nice summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
Hey,

I live in Toronto, Canada, I went on the google website to buy the nexus one, and the price it gives me for the phone including shipping is $556 US dollars.

In the shipping policy section it says your respective province/country might charge you the taxes at the time of delivery. My question is will I get charged taxes at the time I pick up my package? I have ordered stuff online from the states before and I have not been charged tax for those items or any extra fees on top of what I payed at the time of purchase (I ordered 60 dollars worth of clothing before).

As a little experiment I changed my shipping address from Canada to my friends address in the states, and the price is identical. Is the 556 US dollars the FINAL price americans/canadians pay for the phone?

Thanks for all your help.:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitzbd:
I paid 529.00 in total, so I think you might be getting pinged with the taxes up front?

It should have it broken down in the final checkout screen! But try here they have a contact number also so you can always give them a call to see, best of luck to you...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
haha thats messed up, after experimenting with the states address, I no longer get charged for shipping but instead I get charged US dollar tax, lol and it comes out to be 10 dollars more, $566. I dont know how you got away without paying tax or any shipping. Lucky you

Now I dont know whether to risk getting it shipped to Canada for 556 and end up paying tax on it at the time of pick up. Or to ship it to the states and pay 10 dollars more for tax? Darn taxes.

Thanks for the quick reply eh.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasrups:
Unfortunately we do have to pay the tax. I think I had to pay an additional $80 which sucked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
Oh DAMN, I guess I would save that 80 dollars by shipping it to the states right? I am planning on going to my friends place in 2 weeks.

Now one more confusion, when I select a states address for shipping, I get a choice between fedex ground, 2nd day air, and overnight. What doesnt make sense is that picking fedex 2nd day air charges 5 dollars extra, but picking fedex overnight or fedex ground doesnt charge any extra. Shouldnt fedex overnight charge the most for shipping?

Thanks for your help and your quick reply.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
Yes, you will have to pay GST, a broker fee, and in your case PST to the courier before they will hand over the package to you. If you're looking for a way to escape the PST you might try and move to Alberta. We don't have any! ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
haha lucky Albertans :), I hate this damn province (ontario) paying the highest PST from all of Canada, and we still get **** services. :mad:

But ya I guess to avoid paying extra fees of shipping AND taxes at the time of pick up, I'll get it shipped to the states and pick it up from my friends place in 2 weeks.

Thanks for your help

Be sure that you do NOT buy the "rogers compatible" one.

Get the one that is tmobile/wind -- it will still work on robbers, just be stuck to 2G, plus in addition, it will be compatible with wind and moblicity/dave.

With robbers data charges (being robbery) it is hard to justify data on their service anyways.
