hey question. i went and purchased SetCPU and attempted to follow your instruction. problem is, whenever SetCPU tries to gain super user permission, it says "no root access granted. Are applications allowed root access?" i dunno what to do. can someone advise me?
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
Umm, is your phone rooted?

Sent from the void...
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Yessir. Since day 2 ^_^ (plus its in my sig)
[EVO 4G General] runner77:
Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

Then double check all of your superuser settings.

So, as far as speed/responsiveness of governors goes:

Fastest ------------------------------------------------------> Slowest

Performance ------> ondemand ------> Interactive? ------> Conservative

Poor battery consumption --------------------> Best battery consumption
[EVO 4G General] helfire1:
This thread is exactly what i was looking for, thanks for the detailed explanation of the what and why.

Will try it out this week with Fresh 3.1 and KK#8.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
this thread helped a lot, i was just in setCPU messing around with things, now i can use this thread to help get what i want. i bookmark'd the hell out of this thread
[EVO 4G General] ISSMER:
Thanks...OP...hopefully people will read it first...try things..then ask questions...

I am still working to see how to get the best battery life from cm6 and snap..
[EVO 4G General] dragonsamus:
Thanks for the helpful post!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I experienced a "nice load" when I unboxed my EVO. Anyway the only setting I use is:

Screen off: 245/128 on demand.

Works for me. And thanks for this helpful post to help us understand all that technical mumbo jumbo.
[EVO 4G General] sheldonbotha:
So I got a rooted Vanilla install of the latest Sprint OTA Froyo build on my EVO. (the 3.29.651.5 build).

I purchased the latest version of SetCPU (2.03) last night and used the autodetect method for the CPU governor.

I notice on my EVO that I only have these 3 options:

Scaling:

ondemand, userspace and performance....

Is this normal to not have the conservative setting since I have the defacto kernel with a vanilla rom?

Thanks

Sheldon

Okay, so I figured it out, my default kernel does not have these other options, oh well......

Nice app though, so far its working really well.
[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
Couple quick questions..

I also got Setcpu..

I was a little curious as to why anyone would want to OVERCLOCK their phone.. I mean it does everything just fine and smooth..

In anycase I went ahead and installed it, didn't know much of what I was doing and did a couple tests with Quadrent (benchmark app)

Stock I get about 1140-1180..

When I messed around with setcpu I went down to 800 all the way to 1550. Which was cool in braging rights I guess.

I uninstalled it because I really didn't see a point, then I read this thread..

It seems this program can actually increase battery life by underclocking when not needed..

That being said.. Do most of you use this? Is this a must have for you guys?

Finally, I have Fresh's new rom and wondering if I can use the first setting from the Original poster?

THANKS GUYS!
[EVO 4G General] :
On my evo I only get the options to select performance, userspace, and ondemand. Does anyone know how to get the other ones, or is it only for different roms?
[EVO 4G General] dahauss:
I have a bunch of profiles set and I think it helps.. but I dont have scientific data. I have installed SYSTEMPANEL so I can see whats going on.. Here are the profiles I have on my EVO 4G.. If anyone wants to chime in on suggestions for adjusting let me know...

MAIN PROFILE 998/384 (245 was just too slow) - ONDEMAND

SCREEN OFF 499/384 (I tried it at 245 but it was slow waking up and playing ringtones) - ONDEMAND, PRIORITY 80

Charging / FULL - 998/384 - ONDEMAND - Priority 60

Battery < 15% 768/384 - ON DEMAND - Priority 40
[EVO 4G General] tonwarr.the.incredible:
Different profiles come with different kernels. Try flashing a different kernel...
[EVO 4G General] nemoshotyany:
I have all those settings but I dont have the advance settings. Could that be the kernel too?
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
so where does SmartASS governor fit in?

Hi,anyone knows the best settings "setspu" for Samsung Galaxy Ace with Stock Rom?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattwp103:
Hello, would it be possible for someone to write or modify _code to allow the four buttons to either stay on longer when activated or even always on when the screen is.

Thanks

Matt
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
People have been working on that since release to no avail :-(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattwp103:
Hmmm that's really disappointing. Thanks for your fast re

ply.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Np, the best advice I can give you and its what most people have done is just learn where the buttons are in the dark. After a week or so it won't be such a problem I promise :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesasone:
I'm not sure how useful this is, but Sprint told one of the tech blogs (I forget which) in correspendence that on the Epic 4G that the setting that controls the backlighting on the slide out QWERTY will also affect the soft buttons. So maybe once those start making it into our hands we'll find out how it's done and implement it on the other Galaxy S handsets.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatg:
i would want them lit for as long as the screen was on, having it on longer wouldnt be good enough.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayrod88:
Yes. Same here! I can't stand when I use gps at night and I can't see the buttons.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
QFT... It's stupid having them on a different timer than the "backlight".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novaIS350:
Apparently the Samsung Epic's button lights stay on for the duration that the screen is on. Once the Epic firmware is released I'm sure the devs will find the files.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hussainfatal:
i usually just touch any where/move finger on the screen and the buttons just light up
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexUs:
That and you memorize where they are at after some time. I 100% understand, it's not a huge deal after awhile but it's still a short sight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
The Samsung guy demoing Media Hub even has trouble hitting one of the soft keys - though it does look like the keys stay lit longer on the Epic.

At about 1:35 he tries a couple times, and then has to tilt the phone to see the button.

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-demos-samsungs-galaxy-s-media-hub
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjs2004:
Man, I wish this problem was solved. For me, it's the most annoying thing (really the only annoying thing) about this phone. Yeah, by now I've pretty much memorized where the buttons are, but 1 in 5 times I miss-hit one of the bottom buttons because they don't stay lit. If they were lit as long as the screen was lit, I would never miss-hit them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
Hi. I would like to know if i format my SD card, will this also wipe the ext3 partition? Will I have to re-partition the SD card after the format, or will it still be there?

Many Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpandas:
i was under the impression that a partition is treated as a different drive. so even if you format your SD card, it shouldn't touch any of the partitions created. like, you have SD card partition and ext 2-4. then only the SD card partition is formatted. of course i could be wrong and please let me know if that is so
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erto90:
As i saw, if you format with slow metod, it will delete also the partition..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
and the answer is..........

NO! Formatting your SD card will NOT WIPE YOUR EXT3 PARTITION Tried it last night, and i still have all my apps back on phone and also have 80.88 MB of internal (which is what i had before)
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
That is SOOOO FUNNY because it is almost the exact same conversation I had with a rep. What happens is, you buy it .. you return it and Dell gets to use $549+ anything else you buy for maybe a month until you can get it back to them and THEN you gotta wait for them to credit your card. It took me 4 days to get a RMA number .. THAT's INSANE .. if it took that long, how long will it take to get my money back .. They stalled me another 3 days promising to send me an unlock code. How many people in the same boat as me?? At $550+ .. Dell is getting A LOT of INTEREST FREE MONEY .. Dell must be hurting financially.... It feels like that is their intention .. to get MONEY FOR NOTHIN' ..:mad:
[Streak 5 General] Dogmann:
Hi all

I hate to say it but Dell are a complete joke their customer service reps whilst meaning well and trying to be helpful are utterly useless and i should add talking to manager is no better either as even when they say they will call you back with more information they don't so you have call them back to repeat everything over and over to each new person.

Long story short got my streak on launch and it developed a hardware fault flashing Home Menu back keys and constant reboots because it's over 28 days it has to be sent of and the returned. It's taken 9 days to be collected by UPS seriously 9 freaking days and will take up to another 10 days for return i wonder how long that will turn in to? Customer service are rubbish and i just bought a Galaxy S the Streak as much as i love it will be sold on its return I'm not dealing with this **** again if anything goes wrong and there are to many reports of faults for me to any longer feel confident in Dell or their support of their product such a shame for such a nice product.

[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
their "mobility" team is a bunch of idiots sitting in a room in india. I had a really long conversation with 2 of them earlier today trying to order the streak and you can hear them all in the background laughing and throwing stuff around and just having a good old time. there were several times i had to tell the rep that i couldn't hear him because of his background noise. also i think at one point one his buddies either pushed the guy off the chair or phone off the desk, something along those lines.

long story short, i hung up frustrated not knowing exactly what happened, although i told them to "cancel the entire order" several times after the total was over $800 for a streak with student discount and with At&t 2 year contract!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kykiskly:
I was checking the N1 Themes And Apps session and noticed this cool battery morph (Thanks to tr.slate).. So was wondering is someone can do the fabulous work of porting it over to the EVO, especially to the CM ROM :D

Now, if you unpack the zip file into your Meta morph theme folder in your SD, and load it with Meta morph, it work, just though that maybe having a flash-able option would be great.

See my phone SC below - I love it :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tchebb:
I have stock 2.1 rooted with Unrevoked3 and can't seem to find where the default bootanimation.zip is. Can anyone tell me where it should be?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
When I turn on my phone it appears that my settings are always on Full Animation, when in fact I have it set to no Animation when I turn it off.

So basically every time I turn my phone I have to turn off Animations. Sure its cool and all, but I'd rather have it simple and not deal with it.

I think I first noticed it when I was tinkering with the font settings and decided I'd rather use the default. I tried the fix permissions in Clockwork Recovery and it didn't seem to correct the issue. I haven't tried any other Roms other than rooting so I don't know if something was changed in the system and maybe after a rom flash it would fix it.

Anyways if anybody has any ideas I'd gladly listen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] revoldius:
Hi I flashed the custom 2.1 ROM, but since there's a lot of stuff that doesn't work. So I want to flash back to the original rom. But how do I do this. I can't find the original ROM to flash the phone.

I tried the tool from LG but it stops at 4% flashing and then it tells me that the connection has to be reinitiated. But it just keeps saying that.

Any Ideas would be gratefull

Totally agree, I need to restore the stock rom. I don't know why there is no category for LG GW620 too :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] themidnighter:
as i've understood the problem is that after upgrading to android 2.x we can't go back to our original firmware 1.5 and that is due to a conflict between the two baseband...anyway there is a rom that can allow us to come back to android 1.5 and it is called ToleRom0.8
[Streak 5 General] andygee:
Got my streak and turned it on for about 10 minutes. Go back to it a little while later and it won't turn on, shows picture of battery. I figure it's needing a charge so I plug it up. Unit doesn't appear to do anything. Call Dell and they walk me through a few things and say they think the battery is dead and that they can swap it but it will be a week or two before they have more in. I said this phone is brand new, just came in, let's just swap it then. Dell Rep states that it's against dell policy and they can't. So I'm returning it. If anyone has some good contacts at Dell I would love to explain this to them, that I really wanted the phone and would like to try it out but I'm not staying under contract while they work on replacing it or getting it working.

Hey all!

I was looking for extended batteries for my Samsung Vibrant and I stumbled accross this awesome battery auction.

Now don't get TOO excited. This is just a $6 off of the final price of the battery. The battery itself is NOT out yet (will be VERY VERY soon) so he is just selling a $6 off of the price for $1. I talked with the seller and I got the specs for the battery.

Type: Lithiun-ion Polymer Battery, 3.7V

Size: 10mm thickness (1cm). Original battery is 6mm (0.6cm) thick so this is not TOO much fatter.

Capacity: 2800mah

Retail price (without coupon): $36

PRICE INCLUDES A BLACK BACK DOOR.

It is currently in production in manufacturing and should be out on the market very soon. If you're interested in the $6 coupon off the $36, click here.
[Vibrant Accessories] madgravity34:
Man I cannot wait. This is my only complaint with the vibrant as it stands!
[Vibrant Accessories] techboydino:
I wonder if the new battery door will make the back flush by eliminating the small hump at the bottom of the phone? I love when Ebay is a source of new products. Who makes the beast?
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:

You guys just need to install juice defender. I can go 36 hours with moderate use without having to charge.
[Vibrant Accessories] Goog1e Phone:

Here's a screenshot of my battery life in the last 36 hours. I still have 9% remaining, so keep in mind that I can get 2+ hours.

[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
Not sure what else you may have done to your phone but I have Juice Defender (Ultimate) on my Vibrant and my Wife's Slide and it works great. Since I get a lot of mail, text, and IM's I still can't go a full day but I am getting about double the battery life I had before I started using it.
[Vibrant Accessories] jonnyibanez:
Dont know if i would be comfortable with a thicker phone... an extra 5MM or so is rather thick. and i wouldnt be able to put it in my nice case that just came in the mail.

I got a car charger and USB cable for my desk at work and i just charge it as i need it. Mostly since im new to android and always playing with the damn thing is the reason i run low.
[Vibrant Accessories] MINUS Stl:
Another vote for Juice Defender/Ultimate Juice. On the weekends, my phone lasts over 30 hours with moderate use. During the week at work is somewhat of a different story. Running BT, music, and having to deal with poor service inside (phone constantly going in and out of service), I'm still able to get about 12-14 hours.

Overall a great app though. :D

As far as a thicker battery.....meh. Would definitely have to see the size difference first. And if it still fit in a case.
[Vibrant Accessories] Vegastouch:
I think that battery is BS. It wouldnt fit in the phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] sfsilicon:
Besides the weight you'll also have trouble finding a case to hold it.

I'm going the route of constructing a back-up battery using 4 AA rechargeable batteries NiMH (4x 1.2V = 5V, with 2800mAh AAs).

Got one of these with leads, on/off switch and cover. You can also get a squarish holder if you don't like the side-by-side layout.

I'll solder it to a mini USB cable, then use a mini to micro converter so that I can also charge mini USB phones. Parts ~$5 in parts.

If you want a fully assembled 4x AA one you can buy it here and here. They also have 1x AA and 2x AA versions, but I don't know how well those work.

Found this 2400mAh battery for the Vibrant here. Price is $59 and the picture doesn't look like the actual product.
[Vibrant Accessories] slay3r85:
I was thinking about gettin a bigger battery but then i found 2x BATTERY+dock CHARGER FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S Vibrant # on ebay for 10$ and i thought i could just throw a spare battery in my pocket just in case my phone run out.

[Vibrant Accessories] Chalup:
That Mugen extended battery and back cover are designed for the Galaxy S. Given that Galaxy S cases also fit the Vibrant is the same true for back covers?
[Vibrant Accessories] Kid Poker:
But man that thing looks thick as hell now. On the note, is it really worth another $37 to buy the battery with 100 more mAh then the origina G9 1500mAh?
[Vibrant Accessories] Chalup:
No one can answer that question but you.

Edit: however, the battery has only under 7% greater capacity. I don't know if this increase relates to 7% greater battery life. Maybe someone who knows more about battery technology can chime in.
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
imho i would shell out $40 for 100 more mAh

improved my batt life

I'll keep this short but after applying RyanZA one click lag fix my battery life practically doubled. I'm an experienced g1 user and I had spent weeks trying to improve my battery life. Juicedefender did NOT work for me and it's battery tracking program was consistently laggy taking forever just to even load the statistics screen.

After I applied RyanZA lag fix I noticed a difference within a few hours. I no longer have to charge it each night. I unplugged it 23 hours ago and I now have 44% battery left. Ive done many things with it throughout the day so it hasn't just been sitting idle. I havent come across anyone else yet stating the same results that i have experienced so I may make a separate thread pertaining to it.
