So Ive been playing around with various settings for set cpu and voltage control and all has been well so far. The only problem im having is voltage control seems broke. I try to open the all but it just black screens. I tried to clear the memory and unistall and reinstall and still have the same problem. Any ideas?

^you can under volt setirons kernel and disable overclocking with this app.

i find my battery life to be less than stock with this kernel, i need to see if it is a common issue, maybe because it is not a captivate kernel. but in the past with unhelpfuls kernel for 2.1 battery life was awesome.
[Captivate General] hawkeyefan:
It's going to depend on the individual CPU in your phone. Your best result is to start at a given clock speed and begin lowering voltage in the smallest step possible, test for stability, repeat until you begin to notice instability (or you just run out of voltage options). You can just undervolt without increasing clock speed any, or you can not undervolt yet raise clock speed, or you can overclock and undervolt, depending on how your particular chip reacts. Some might need additional voltage to stabilize the snapdragon at 1.2Ghz while others (mine for example) is stable Able @ -100mV and 1.2Ghz. Overclocking silicon is the ultimate in YMMV.

Another thing to bear in mind is that increasing clock speed necessarily increases power consumption. There is no way around this. So a chip at 1.2Ghz will use more juice than 1Ghz even with the same voltage. It's difficult to say at this point whether, say, the Snapdragon @ 1.2Ghz and -100mV uses more or less power than the same chip @1Ghz and stock voltage. It's absolutely possible that the former uses more power, which would explain why you see at least one claim here of battery life decreasing even when voltage settings are left untouched.
[Captivate General] spartan062984:
Thanks for clarifying Hawkeye! I will report back on in a few days once i have tested out a few profiles. In my opinion, I feel that it is best to leave Over-clocking at default and maximize battery utilization with setcpu. However, the thought of over-clocking the Dragon beast is VERY tempting. Who wouldn't? I will definitely check out the differences when playing games and such.
[Captivate General] hawkeyefan:
I have to tell you, I'm not personally very fond of SetCPU on this device, even though I paid for the app (ugh). With raspdeep's voltage control app and SetIron's OC/UV kernel, the CPU defaults to 1.2Ghz at stock voltage, which for a basic setup is fine. Voltage Control app is phenomenal for adjusting in increments of 25mv at a time...one setting is for high clocks (1Ghz - 1.2Ghz) and the other is for < 1Ghz. It's probably best actually to start with the lower clock setting in Voltage Control, as your phone will spend the lion's share of it's time at those clocks and so that is where you should see the most gain in battery life. My only gripe is that I can't get the boot settings to stick on the Captivate so I have to go in and adjust them each time I reboot the phone. no biggie there.

SetCPU, on the other hand, has caused me loads of problems in the past, including causing the phone not to wake up from sleep and just atrocious battery life, I assume from constantly polling the CPU clock to measure clock speed. I have not experienced any of that with Overclock Widget, but I also don't use any of the independent clockspeed controls in the app...basically it's just a widget to display clock speed the way I use it. Otherwise, Setiron's kernel gives the 200mhz overclock and I just let the Hummingbird deal with changing clocks on its own. Jmo, but it works for me with no resulting battery drain beyond the additional I expect as a result of the extra 200mhz.

edit: whoops, long day. hummingbird in my post from above, not snapdragon. I need a drinky poo. :p
[Captivate General] spartan062984:
LOL. No Worries. I myself made the same mistake. I thought something was odd with my post. SnapDragon...Hummingbird....Bulbasaur.....I knew what you meant. lol
[Captivate General] p4ranoid4ndroid:
Still not having any luck with the voltage control app. Ive tried flashing different roms to see if it would work. I undervolted it to 100/75 the first time i did it and now i cant change. Only a little worried
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i guess there was an issue with the set on boot scripts not working. supposedly that is fixed, i dont know for sure though, i haven't updated.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
From what I'm gathering, in order to undervolt, you must have a kernel to su pport that, for example Setirons.

I'm not necessarily interested in overclocking, as it performs well as is. Of course there are arguments that overclocking may ultimately harm the phone, and arguments that by the time that happens, you'd be ready for a new phone. In any event, if I start getting slower, I may interest in overclocking.

Does anyone know if dramatic improvement in battery performance with underclocking?
[Captivate General] swimomatic:
I've noticed quite a bit of a difference, just pretty difficult to tune it precisely. (Coming from a person who enjoys overclocking computers a little too much). I just wish there was an app that would test each frequency and then let you know which one failed (without having to manually set it).

Im running cm6.1 oc at 826 mhz. I was wondering if anyone elses phone freezes (as in screen stops plus soft keys). This only happens when im on youtube which results in me having to move the battery.

It happens to me when I run it at 826, but it hardly happens. Try running it at 806, that seems to be the sweet spot for most people.

Ok, this is getting old. I moved to seattle. I get here off the train and my phone's screen freezes. im talking game over freezes. I get a replacement. If i am inside, i am fine. The minute i walk outside, bam! Frozen screen. Once i walk inside, im fine. If i boot to windows, i don't have any issue. I have had screen rotation turned off. Is there ANYTHING i am missing? I would like to use my phone. I tried a lot of builds off of here.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] random_username_:
same here indoors i have no problems but as soon as i step outside everything goes to ****.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fakepooh:
Could it be because you r walking outside? If so,then the accelerometer might have been overwhelmed with your body movement. Happens to me too, it improves by using thephone stand still.

One option is to disable screen auto rotation, that would help alot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djdanska:
Today was dry, a little chilly, and sunny. No issue. The slightest bit of moisture in the air and it goes to ****. If i am walking home from the bar, and it starts to get misty out or rains, its over. done. And i know for sure how to kill the screen anytime outside. Turn on the gps. Once it locks, on EVERY build i used, it locks it. You have to hit power, wait for it to eventually turn off, and its unlocked again, for a few seconds. (Hopefully enough to get out of whatever app your using that uses gps)

I love android, and i am dealing with it, but its very annoying and i do hope that one day it will get fixed, and it will i know it.

Im getting really tired of dicking around with converting to epub... are there any apps that will render a majority of ebook formats?

Ideally quality apps.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dboppc130:
I use Aldiko App and Calibre on the PC. Not sure this is what your looking for. Calibre manages you library and converts all your books to any format all at one time and I thought Aldiko used more than one format but I'm probably wrong. I converted all my books to the same format a long time ago and I use Aldiko to read them. Maybe one of these will help you out or lead you to something that will.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] caine2it:
I use this one. Its pretty good and it's free :)

http://www.fbreader.org/FBReaderJ/

Also Ireader is very good (get it on the market), both the free version, and the paying one. With the paying one you can also read locked mobibook format. Its excellent.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] PBL1:
@ dboppc130

Is there a way to use the external memory card with Aldiko?

I just started playing with it so maybe I missed the setting but it seems that it only sees the internal SD.

Otherwise it is a nice reader

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dboppc130:
I don't have a tab yet so I'm not sure about the internal/external card. I know that on my HTC Aria, all the books are stored on my external SD card. I have several hundred books on there now. I used Calibre on my PC to re-code them all to one format and the program auto pushed them to my SD card. I used this guide to get started.

www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/howto_manage_and_convert_your_ebooks_calibre_progress

Then I went to www.aldiko.com/ to figure out the app.

Hope this helps

When you install Aldiko it makes a folder on the SD card called Ebooks. Inside that folder is one called import. Make sure you push new books to the import folder. then inside Aldiko hit the minu button and select import. Then it will add new books to your library.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
I use a mix of:

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] st2819:
I recommend FullReader. It supports not only ePub files but also opens many other formats.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] watnuweer:
I have tried multiple Android builds but all of them give the same problem.

Everything in Android works great except when receiving a call or calling.

The call is fine, but all buttons and the screen are unresponsive during the call and some time afterwards.

After a while everything is fine again without a reboot.

Sometimes adding a power cord and removing it gives back control as if it resets something.

Anyone experience similar issues and found a cure?

[Omnia 7 General] Loconinja:
Is anyone experiencing poor reception with their Omnia 7? I could not send a text from mine today when my Dell Streak (on the same network) had no problem. I love the phone, but this is beginning to concern me.
[Omnia 7 General] owczarb:
No problem here

Using in T-mobile UK and no problem so far.

I would say it is better than with my old T8282, but now I am getting Orange coverage as well.

My previous phone sometimes was loosing signal at home now I havent spoted any problem with reception. Even international calls are nice and clear.
[Omnia 7 General] StevieBallz:
The network reception at my place is pretty bad - especially on my network. My HTC HD(Blackstone) had issues sending texts and quite often I only heard "noise" instead of the other person.

I had problems sending a text two times during the last week that I had my phone but calls worked with no problem at all - so it definitely is an improvement.

My old Nokia N95 8 GB had no problems whatsoever - please Nokia, won't you build me a nice WP7 Phone? ;)
[Omnia 7 General] Silent Shark:
I'm on T-Mobile (UK) too, and have terrible signal in my workplace. My Omnia 7 seems to be exactly the same (i.e. shockingly bad) as my previous HTC Touch Pro2, HTC Touch Diamond, and the same as my collegue who sits next to me with his HTC Desire. At home I get full signal like I used to.

I have had one text fail to send, a few seconds later the signal had roamed onto Orange, and I had 4 bars. Text went instantly :) .

So in conclusion, no better/worse than any current or previous smartphone.
[HTC Vox] futureberry:
Hi All.

Got a BT-branded HTC s710 and unlocked it to use on Orange. Managed to set up GPRS for Internet and now trying to work out MMS sending and receiving. I've set some settings in the Connections part, but I feel I need to select something in the MMSC settings - which I can't find. I know where they should be, but...

The problem is, my SMS and MMS accounts are merged. I don't get this because I've not seen it anywhere else - I was using the SPV E650 before this one, and they were separate. So when I go to Account Settings... well there's just nothing about MMSs. Even from within an MMS message, there is nothing to change the MMSC.

What do I do? Is this really the problem or doesn't MMSC selection matter? Does anybody happen to know where to find the MMSC settings on a crazy Vox that doesn't segregate SMS and MMS?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hey guys! I read somewhere here on the forum today or yesterday that there is a fix for the battery drain problem caused by the gallery but I can't find the thread anymore... Can someone please direct me? Yeah I now... I'm dumb right now :))
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
What firmware/rom are you using?

There appears to be an issue with the Gallery that comes with JPO/JPA version of froyo for some people. (I'm one of them, and I "discovered" the fix, LOL.)

Anyways, we discussed it in the Doc/Kalpik rom thread in the development section, but the solution is pretty simple:

Use Titanium Backup, or Root Explorer or whatever method you're comfortable with to delete the installed Gallery from your phone. Then go to the market and download the Gallery3d app (author Rayman50). Problem solved. If you have trouble finding that in the Market, there's a ClockWork ROM manager flashable version posted by DocRambone in the 2nd or 3rd post of his thread.

You could probably also just pull the Gallery3d.apk out of any firmware where this isn't a problem and push it to the phone.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] joe772:
Hmm. not sure why it would kill your swype. It reinstalls all of the default .apks from fission 2.0.1, so that may be why. As for the battery, I just port it, I didn't make it.

Coming tonight hopefully. Just have to figure out a few issues with it.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] kdkinc:
Possible fix for this issue:

open up Fission 2.01 and grab the Swype app and copy it to your SD card.

click and install over present Swype on phone.

I tried Swype from a newer test version of Fission (2.0.9.4) and it still had the half dead Swype issue .( types ok but drag feature does not work)

I guess Remix and the swype version don't play well togather from 2.0.9.4.

Works for me hope it help you.

:cool::cool:

PS:!!!!! Nice theme joe772 Thank You
[Droid X Themes and Apps] joe772:
Yes, this is going to have to happen now after installing themes. We are packaging all of the .apks from stock fission into the themes, as to not have any dependencies from other themes left over.

I'm guessing the swype in this theme its meant for the droid 2. I was able to bring back swype from a backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
THIS IS A SHAMELESS PLUG but... it's also very useful and if you make it a habit, it can even prevent SD card errors.

I was very surprised that a couple of my friends didn't know about dropbox for android and how well it works. For those who don't know, dropbox is a multi device syncing service. It's free up to 2gb. It sets up a folder on your mac or pc or linux box and everything you put in there is automatically sync'd to other devices.

Here's the thing, IT's FAST. Even UPLOADING is fast. This is important because if you have a 2mb apk that you're installing or a 5mb kernel that you're flashing, it's very convenient to just copy the file into your dropbox folder... and then simply grab it from dropbox on your SGS. I have fiber into my house but I remember that dropbox was really fast even before i got fios.

With exception larger 20+ mb files, I turned to doing this exclusively a few weeks ago because I was tired of my sd card always turning up errors when plugged in. The sdcard errors have even cost me a few pics taken from my phone. I don't know about you guys, but I probably mounted and dismounted my sd card over 10 times a day on the low side before.

Here's an important note about accessing files through dropbox though, you should always DOWNLOAD them from the dropbox app onto your sd card before installing. Installing directly from the dropbox android app can sometimes turn up errors.

So that's the plug guys. But if you haven't tried it yet, try it.

Like I said, the first 2gb are free from dropbox and if you refer friends, you can get upto 8gb free. I'm not even including my dropbox referral link here because I seriously believe in this tip that much! Save SD card errors and use dropbox!
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Figured everyone does this, some shape or form. I think I've hooked up my phone to a computer like twice for USB access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Haha, ya, me too.

Weird though, today- dropbox has decided it needs to resync the contents every time I open a folder (once per folder). I'm not sure what the issue is, as 90% of the contents haven't changed. Not the end of the world, but ya, hope this thread gets more ppl using it. It really does save a lot of time, especially in school and e.g. transitioning to a new computer.

And.. thread getting moved in 5-4-3-2
[Epic 4G Android Development] LordFuzzy024:
No brainer...

I love DropBox. I signed up for an account then invited all my firends to join. When they did i get an additional 250megs. I then have a shared Folder that i have shared with all of them. We now have all the apps, games, wallpapers, ringtones, etc. my friends and I love in one place. Then on top of that it is backed up on my laptop and desktop. All for Free. If you haven't signed up for it, i highly recommend you do.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
Not Development.

That said, this is very cool technology. I wish they gave you more than 2-8GB for free, though, because I'd like to move my entire music, picture, and movie collections there. I'm actually thinking about paying the $100/year, which is ridiculous.

The coolest part is that it streams music and movies, doesn't download them. Very cool.

Google Music will be a good solution for the music, but I wish it would have generic storage space, too.

What are you doing to your phone that your sd card corrupts itself? I've never had it do that even once, and I've even DCed the phone in the middle of active transfers (a lot more times than I care to admit)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Really? my system created LOST directory was getting out of hand before this. I DID yank the cable out a few times during active file transfers but I doubt that was the only cause. Nowadays virus scans- indexing- caching.... things are being being written on HD's and cards all the time...

Am I the only one who had windows prompt me for a error check every other time when I mounted my disk? hmm... :mad:

@digiblur, I thought this is what everyone did too! But I was surprised to learn not...

This isn't development is it? Sorry mods! I just thought to post and should have done it in the general section. I'll exercise better judgment next time! :(

Move away!
