SOLVED unresponsiveness of touchscreen

I also experienced that the screen was unresponsive. I solved it by disabling GPS via the Android Assistant app downloaded from the market. Go in the app to Tools and than Save Battery Settings to do so. Maybe this will help others too.

Now with this mod my Folio is perfect. The only little minor thing is playing movies. I hope this will be addressed by the new Android version.

Dexter and others thanks for all the good work.
[Folio 100 Android Development] tobr:
After many restarts I have to admit that it probably works. No more 50% CPU after boot or resume from suspend.

Before I could see cpu load after every restart at least 5minutes or more.

I hope, that it is not just coicidence but a persistent fix. Good work :-)

Strange, but i think that this solves the delay on the site buttons to? Can someboddy conferm this?

I use the 1.3 foliomod up to version C. I had sometimes slow reactions in apps and most of the time the 4 buttons has te be presset serveral times. After disabeling the GPS thing all seems to work far better.

Thanks for this tip.

I have updated to Folio Mod 1.3b. If I tried to install 1.3c fix, I've got a feeling that fix not installed is. With the home button pressed during update process I get following message:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package..

....still boaring with the same wi-fi connection problem...

system find network and try to connect: but every time disconnect untill I restart router...

any other with the same problem??

any suggestion to solve it??

Thank you!!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] thomas_b:
Same here :-(
[Folio 100 Android Development] dpaganello:
I had this problem few times and I solved it by configuring the connection to the router - Sitecom WL325- with a static address and turn off wifi before shutdown Folio.
[Folio 100 Android Development] gohanSS:
confirmed on mine: system_server process is no longer consuming 50% of cpu.

It is kind of funny to disable something it is not there to solve a problem :)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Shrikkelik:
That is exactly why I suspected it when I saw that GPS was enabled. I guess it keeps looking for it and than it somehow consumes all performance. If this happened nothing responded on my Folio.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i have enabled the GPS settings in "Settings -> Security & Location" and sat GPS is not enabled by default. only Wifi GPS functionality.

But when i download the app mentioned it does mention how it should look for battery saving functionality but thats a app function, and not an active state function.

I think you're having a placebo effect here :-)
[Folio 100 Android Development] Shrikkelik:
First, I am not saying that you turned on the GPS. It could me as well using some tool. However when I disabled it, the unresponsiveness was gone.

Second, as far as I can tell it is really showing the active state of the equipment. Turn in Android Assistant under Tools --> Save Battery Settings the Wi-Fi off. WiFi goes down. Same applies for Bluetooth as does for GPS. It is the current state it is showing.

Just my 2 cents.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
yes some of the options seems to be live, but if you take light control its not changing it at all.

if you look at the bottom of the app, you got a gps signal indicator too.. and no matter what state you got for it in battery saving its not changing like bt/wifi is.

but if it helps, it helps.. so nice job :-)

Go out and buy a BT stereo headset ;) I own a Nokia BH-214 that I use at work paired with my acer liquid. It works well also with Folio except lossless audio ( flac ape) but this is a know limitation of Android and few sync problem playing video mkv.
[Folio 100 Android Development] DArkwIng24:
G sensor is laggy on 1.3bc

the update freq. on the G sensor data is laggy on the new 1.3c. used to use 0.2

this makes the sensor useless in games.

it is like the sensor is only updated every one sec. it was smooth on 0.2 version.

anyone else experience this?

yes i know that the orientation was wrong on 0.2 but it is still no usable in games.

not that i use it that much for games anyway.

[Folio 100 Android Development] ma1999:
No effect for me, still laggy sometimes.

So yes, probably placebo.

[Folio 100 Android Development] Nemo0815:
Turning off GPS using that tool definately fixes the 50% cpu load issue, you have to check Cpu load to see that the system server is no longer stuck after reboot - no placebo.
[Folio 100 Android Development] manusito:
hmm i feel really dumb about this question... but i've unsuccessfully searched through this thread and it'd be even worse if i didn't ask it so...

once i've updated to 1.3b (which i haven't done yet since i bought my folio on friday), the 1.3c fix contains just a couple of folders and files, what should i do with them? just overwrite the files with the same name in a file manager on the folio? or is there a way to modify the *.img files inside update.zip?

thanks!
[Folio 100 Android Development] almartin:

Hi there, have any of you tried to play a MKV or FLV file??

I have found FLV player in the market but seems that audio and video are not running same time!! also i have found that hardware playing is not working...

Is this 'cause the Flash Player (adobe?!?!)...

What about mkv, anyone of you have tried it?!?

Thanks in advance
[Folio 100 Android Development] elche20:
For me work!!

after 24 hr of test

the trick of disable gps work for me........no placebo

lag effect disappear.........:)
[Folio 100 Android Development] tobr:
The same with me, no placebo. As I several times wrote in the forum, I had 2 problems.

a)50% cpu load for 5-15min after EVERY reboot or resume from sleep (determinably) and after some time working again => battery drain and lag effect.

b)in suspend periodical non intentional wakeup - with the cpu load after resume it drained battery during one night.

The problem a) with 50% cpu load is gone. I rebooted and resumed from suspend maybe hundred times, just to verify it.

I am now 100% satisfied with FolioMod 1.3c. It rocks now :-). Periodical reboot doesn't hurt so much now, if there is no load after resume.
[Folio 100 Android Development] metuskale:
Hi guys; I am not able to found the software you are talking about! (i have read the post but i can not find it :confused: I would like to solve all this problem!
[Folio 100 Android Development] B_Thax:
Search for 'Android Assistant' in the market. You'll find a 'tools' tab in that app and in there the 'Save Battery Settings' option where you can disable GPS.
[Folio 100 Android Development] mddsd:
I've done some testing regarding MKV playback on the Folio.

It seems that there is no support for Hardware acceleration for MKV.

For instance, Rockplayer is able to play MKV but only using the CPU not the GPU.

This results in a very slow playback and audio is out of sync.

Although you can play video in 1080p without any lagg, but then you have to stick to containers that are supported by stock Android, e.g. MOV and MP4. I also know that you can play Xvid in 720p using Toshiba Media Player.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I think our best bet is to wait for Coreplayer. CoreAvc is known for implementing Codec support which use the hardware in best possible way. Also according to answers I've got in their forum they should support the Tegra platform. They are currently demoing their Coreplayer for Android at CES in Las Vegas. The Coreplayer is not released yet.
[Folio 100 Android Development] tshoulihane:
No comments on the value of the tweak, but when I tried it, that app showed me GPS was active (with the icon at the bottom of the window).
[Folio 100 Android Development] takethree:
Initially I also thought this solution worked for me but the problem came back after I switched to a different wifi hotspot so this still falls under the placebo category for me.

How I can install version 1.3 of the folio with a USB? I have not where to copy the file card.

Thank you very much
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
true, i have tried a re-install, and GPS does indeed look active the first time when booted..
[Folio 100 Android Development] Nemo0815:

[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
You need to put it into a sd card. Get a cheap 2GB sd card will do.
[Folio 100 Android Development] dpaganello:
Rockplayer play my favorite mkv plus italian subtitle really well, no laggy no sync problem. I think that the quality of reproduction depends on how the video was encoded. Looking at the video properties I read: audio AAC 48000@1ch video h264 700*400@0kbps the file size is ~65mb for half an hour of video, the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory :D

another 3D hack!!

I am currently testing another hack i found..

i am currently getting 55.0 frames in NeoCore, thats pretty much what a DesireHD gets :-) and there's no flicker or anything wrong..

its simply just faster according to the test.

So expect faster 3D on your folio!!

I'm also experimenting with multitouch, and i did get the multi-touch tester to give me 8 points detected, but its still only showing the 4 circles :-) but 8 :-) thats nice, right?

my folio only gave me 2850-2900 currently, but with the hack, im back over 3000+ , so think its another 10% increase for 3D.

edit:

GLBenchmark does not really indicate changes, so it depends on which 3D functions are used.

NeoCore + Quadrant does give me increased framerates..

I have currently installed 1.3C and whenever I try to play a video file (doesn't matter what extension) with Rockplayer or the Toshiba Media Player, the tablet just crash after a while and reboot. While I didn't had this problem in 1.2. Anyone an idea of what might cause it to crash?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Johnnyplayer:
wakeup seems to have been fixed

Hi, which update are you referring to? I've update my folio to V1.3c ( at least I think, no indicator ) and still system wakes-up. I've checked the GPS setting but this one is off. Even GMAIL sync. What helps is KeepWifi app. I notices in V1.2 it kept my folio in standby. Downside an extra drain for the battery.

Thanks for all the good work.
[Folio 100 Android Development] metuskale:
WOW Dexter, it really sounds good!!
[Folio 100 Android Development] Butchi:
My results

After i bought the folio a couple of days ago i was very disappointed. But with the dexter mods i am becoming more positive on the folio. Thanks Dexter and keep up the good work.

I have a question (trying to get more familiar with the folio).

Before i upgraded to foliomod 1.3b i did a factory reset (using the on/off and volume buttons).

After that i installed the foliomod 1.3b. This did not go without a problem.

After the system rebooted it just did not go any further than the startup screen (text android in the middle). After some time i decided to switch off the device (10 seconds pressing power on/off).

After that i turned the folio on again and it looked to be updated.

To make sure everything was OK i wanted to do the whole process ones again so i started with an factory reset (i assumed that the system would go back to the Toshiba out-of-the-box system using the system partition).

But to my surpprice the system did not return to the out-of-the-box configuration but to the 1.3b configuration.

Is this normal? And am i not able to return to the Toshiba configuration?

BTW the 1.3c patch went OK.

Butch
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
its not a 1.2 -> 1.3c problem, they all work fine here.. but i didnt update to the player i got informed about, maybe you did so?
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
factory reset means that it removes any application installed only, the system default will be what FolioMod 1.3c consist of, which is all the apps i included, but all configuration are removed..

v1.3d beta test

I attached a beta update, for those, that want to

- test the 3D performance hack

- Phone / GPS / Mobile data enable or disable function in Settings menu

- Phone icon enabled (to support 3G modem)

- fixed wrong text in Settings/Security

- gps now default disabled!

-

PAID APPS WORKS NOW

(THANKS TO WEEDS2000 for the fix!!)

It's the v1.3c patch used, so you also get the 1.3c update here.

as its not 100% if the 3D hack actually is perfect, ill wait with posting it in post #1..

Please report back with your findings on this one.

Installs like other patches, rename to update.zip , put on sdcard and install using recovery menu.

edit: found the GPS enable bug, its now default disabled at bootup..

(problem in build.prop, where locationfeatures was enabled)

[Folio 100 Android Development] Mark Chia:
As the 1.3c does not work with downloading app purchased from market I did a work around in buying the app with my android phone and then using Appmonster to back it up to the sd card. From there I just email attached it to myself and open the email from my Folio and install the app from there.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
thanks.. important here is if its stable or maybe drain battery much faster etc..

its the refresh rate changed, so is about 78 refresh rate now, where it was 51 before..

i even tried with 141 refresh rate and it worked (higher and graphics are messed up), but didnt really affect 3d graphics speed. so i can assume that 51hz was too little for our cpu, but 78hz is about what it can do and a acceptable rate..

btw, the fps2d test app to see if our screen do 60 frames sec. did show me 141 frames :-) but again probably not worth much yet..

recovery after 1.3c

Dexter, Thanks for the speedy response.

Maybe i should have been more clear. I was referring to a system recovery (using the on/off button and the volume button) and not a factory reset.

Is there a recovery partition on the folio? And what is in it after you do an update to foliomod 1.3c?

I have 3234 on quadrant with foliomod 1.3c so I'll try the newest patch and see what results that gives

Just tried quadrant a few times with the 1.3d patch and not seeing any improvement to be honest. Just ran it 6 times and the lowest score was 3090 and the highest 3195.

[Folio 100 Android Development] thepretorian:
I don't think so, I just installed my previous apps from the Market that I had with 1.2. I think its a memory problem since it only happens when I try to switch to a different file to play.

Factory reset means delete or format the user writable partition. Even if the system partition is re-written, that comes from the previous shutdown. The recovery partition is only large enough for a kernel, not the whole system.
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
im surprised you got such high meassures with 1.3c? did you totally rip it for any background tasks?

any hints on improving?
[Folio 100 Android Development] mogsy52:
I've not done anything to it really. All tasks were ended with task manager before every run with quadrant but even with one of the higher scores I even had a couple of email notifications while the test was running.

I have the 1.3 mod with all the patches you have created so nothing different to anone else really
[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
i can honestly say that from my first hit at 3000+, it went almost backwards down to around 2800-2900, but with the new increased framerate i see noticable changes in quadrant with framerates, and higher scores.

do you see 45+ frames in the planet rotation and 80 with the DNA string?

but as you mentioned 3300 im sure its improved..

but ok, you might not have gained much, but i can assure you on some programs its increased, although maybe not so visible.

[Folio 100 Android Development] stilgar1337:
I'm not talking about battery life, which is perfectly fine for me. I really need that the folio stays in standby if i swtich it off with the wifi off.

[Folio 100 Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
no.. and there are alot of theories on where the problem is.

the GPS part is said to solve some CPU issues, and phone enabled function are for Artem and the changes coming from that kernel solution being made for 3G support.
