[Q] A501 freez to 3G ! - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,
I compile a rom based on the A501 A501_4.483.01 OS, but I have a lot of freez on 3G.
An idea of ​​how this comes? Kernel and what will work best?
It is ful déodexed, this may be the cause ?
(I also use the workaround for Flexrom).
Thank you in advance if you can help me...

Deodex usually is not the cause. If it does anything, it will just make the rom a little slower, and "might" cause some lag in the App drawer. In my opinion, the rom might boot faster on boot, but that's about it as far as performance.
I will point the finger at the kernel. Usually, it is because the voltages supplied to the system board, are too little to support the internal 3g on the 501. This is true of most of the recent 501 compatible OC/UV kernels.
Yes, they work fine on the a500, but when you run one on a 501, well, you get either freeze on 3g, or the sleep of death (requires a double hard re-boot).
Which kernel were you using?
You can try upping the voltage by +25mv, and see if that corrects the issue.
Known good GPL HC kernels
RTripps v3.4+
Drellisdee earlier version (personally, I would have liked to see this kernel with the smartass governor without too much drop in voltage)
Non GPL
Thor 3.9r4 (untested)

Hi,
I use the kernel 3.9r4 Thor!
I tried to recompile without déodexer with the fuller version 'acer_501_4_483_01_emea_tmpl' but this is the WIFI is not to hang
NB:Where to find the kernel RTripps v3.4+ ?
Thank you for your advices

If you use an app like System Tuner or the likes, usually there is an option to increase CPU voltage at different CPU frequencies. However, I believe the main issue is overall voltage to the system board itself, which causes the 3g to freeze.

[KERNEL] Clemsyn Version 11 PimpMyGtab Underclocking control

Releasing my kernel ver10 which has NO OVERCLOCKING but has Undervolting. I'm pretty happy with the speed of Tegra 2 and I think there are a few advantages in keeping our speed in stock. Advantages IMO are as follows
1. Better Battery life
2. Less heat
3. Stability (unless it is too undervolted)
Update 4/25/11
Releasing PimpMyGtab and My latest kernel ver 11 with no Overclocking, just stock Speeds..Underclock using PimpMyGtab
Here is the link on how to use PimpMyGtab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018411
** If you get a scaling_governor error upon starting PimpmyGtab. It means you need to set your governor by going to Terminal and typing echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor or by installing CPU Master and choosing powersave in governor.
BIG THANKS TO CPASJUSTE for the app and kernel codes.
BTW, If you like my work, don't hesitate to buy me a beer
If you ike PimpMyGtab, make sure you buy PimpMyCPU (Source) from the market by Cpasjuste
Thanks.
Nice. I'm not a fan of overclocking, however undervolting DOES interest me. As soon as I get an opportunity, I may try this out.
Curious, what's the stock voltage?
OK, LMK how it goes.

stock - 750mv - 1000mv
Well I tried it out real quick, it works well (haven't verified battery life changes), but I had some questions:
Is there anyway to set the voltages explicitly? SetCPU didn't work with it (couldn't even change the freq or scaling governor).
I forgot your kernel doesn't support mounting the internal SD over USB. Is that something that will be fixed soon (assuming it's actually broken)?
I won't have my tab for a few weeks, sending it in for warranty replacement. So I won't be able to do further testing.
Thanks for the great work!
Hello clemsyn,
Try it out and battery life is soooooo gooood ... lot better than the OC 1.5GHZ one, of cause it run slower, but it's where i came to ask, if you could release one with the same voltage but for 1.2Ghz (which i guess it's stock speed)?
Many thanks for your hard work

OK here it is...this is basically stock voltage with OC to 1.2 ghz.
Thanks. Right now I'm tryingout the 700-900. Quadrant dropped from 2350 to 2150 going from ver9 to the UV.
I've been using the original kernel posted in this thread for a little while now. It has some strange slowdowns when the tablet first boots (from being powered off), but after that it runs great. Have not had any freezes, so it seems stable. Quadrant scores are ~ 2300.

While the quadrant is down a little, I can't really tell any difference in performance when using the tablet. If the battery life improves then I will stick with this one.
sorry if this has been answered before, but the undervolted
kernel still has cifs support?
(just to check, you need clockworkmod to install this, right?)

[KERNEL][ROM] G3MOD Feedback

Hello Everyone,
I see there are over 5000 downloads for G3Mod Kernel, but very few people are posting feedback...I believe no one else is getting any problems
OK, so this thread is for everyone who dont have that many posts for posting in development section...
POST YOUR FEEDBACK, PROBLEMS, REVIEWS, ETC. over here
DONT EXPECT QUICK REPLIES IN THIS THREAD
EVEN IF YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR SAME PROBLEM REPORTED, THEN ALSO REPORT IT HERE
IT WILL HELP ME TO KEEP THE KERNEL STABLE AND BETTER
Well firstly, thank you dharam for making this excellent kernel. But ofcourse everyone knows the sound click bug, if that gets solved this will be the best kernel I've used so far.

Awesome Work !
Thank you! for providing such an awesome kernel
My personal favorite Is g3Mod 1.3.1 Performance Max=Min=950Mhz
No batter drain problem.
I got freeze problems with OC over 1000mhz
190MHz - 950MHz
I just flashed g3mod 190MHz - 950MHz to DDJ2 Original FW. Its working fine without any problem. And used set cpu to set to 950MHz. But i do not fee much different in performance. how i can test this?

Hello, i'm new on xda forum .
Thanx for your Kernel, i think you can improve it by looking about this Kernel Fully Optimised and take some idea !
...forum.samdroid.net/f53/development-kernel-horse-power-4973/
His Github : ...github.com/spica234/I5700-kernel-2.6.32.9
I think it can be easy to port some feature from i5700 to our i580X
well the overclock thing works fine.
1st on installing the kernel it shows 1366MHz of overclock in setcpu.
but upon restarting it shows 930MHz. is is in my case only or what?

Just tried G3Mod 1.3.3 lite, it's the best experience ever. Seems it's very economy since it did not drain my battery too fast and slower than before. Its performance is great though no overclocking. Everything just go fine, response quickly and it does not halt anymore.

They are the developers of the toolchain and there must be some reason that they have put that warning, not to use it for Linux Kernels. But it is working in our case for building kernels.
May be the code generated by the compiler is not optimised enough to be used for kernels or there would some performance related issues.
Are there any alternative compilers which we can use? May be it would improve our phone's kernel performance? Just a thought.

What is the fastest least buggy rom with best battery life and OCing

So many to choose from and i don't have any experience other then Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0. that is the only one i've flashed. Does it hurt your tabby installing new roms constantly over and over again. Just seems like something at some point would get corrupted or something. I don't know.....lol This is very new to me.
What rom is everyone using.
I was wondering the excact same thing,maybe everyone's waiting for an acer 3.2 update.I'm on virtuous picasso 1.1 also,I was hoping for a vp update as that rom seems pretty good so far.Anyone know when we'll see anything as good or are there better that you guys use like taboonay,etc? Thanks.
you will ALWAYS get different answers to this question. It all depends on how you use your tablet. Your best option is try them out and see for yourself. Load the ROM use it for a day try a kernel see what fits your needs, don't rely on other peoples answers.

Hey question for you since your using the same rom. Does your Tablet turn off at night by itself. I used my tablet all day and at night I charge it while i sleep. When i wake up in the middle of the night i unplug the tabby if the power button is white meaning peak charge and then go back to sleep. when i get up in the morning the tablet is turned completely off and the battery is around 90%.........i don't get it. does yours do this?
I'm on Taboonay and loving it...
Currently using Taboonay 3 and richardtrip's 3.3 kernel.
Loving the speed and stability. Good power usage despite being OC'd to 1.5ghz. Had to apply patches to get Netflix going and still having ALL cameras intact.
Needed alt wpa supplicant file to enable adhoc networking...
... But yeah. Good ROM. I'd highly recommend it.
Some people were having issurs with the install, but I followed the instructions CAREFULLY and had zero issues...
Good luck!

I'm running Taboonay and richardtrips kernel but I found that when I intstalled the latest version youtube wouldn't work. So i reinsatlled the earlier version of the kernel and now youtube works fine. Bit starnge but a few others had the same problem. I'm also haveing problems with the keyboatrd on the site here. No matter which keyboa$d i use the back/delete button doesn't work hence all the typos here
Not sureif this is a kernel/rom/site issue?

Rooted via IconiaRoot - Richardtrip's kernel installed - max cpu set to 1504, min 256 - switch my Setcpu app between "ondemand" (when i have plenty of battery) and "conservative" (when my battery is low).
is taboonay built on original iconia stock or some other rom? or total original honeycomb (if there's a such a thing)

I re-flashed with Taboonay v.2.0/Richardtrips v.3.3 Kernel and it fixed every problem i was having. Best ROM/kernel combo ever! Super smooth, zero lag and amazing battery life!. Overclocked to 1.4ghz and getting better gaming performance then i was before as well! Awesome!

SetCPU no longer underclocking at low usage?

I have moved from CM7 to Hombase 5.4, and found that setcpu no longer seems to do anything. on CM7 it worked as i had hoped, underclocking the phone when i was doing low intensity stuff like texting, and pushing it up to full power for videos etc. now it does nothing but tell me core temps, which are always high as its always running at 1Ghz.
Can anyone explain how to get it back to underclocking?
Many Thanks
Try a different kernel.

This is a known issue with the OC faux kernel. I was running into the same problem with his enhanced stock kernel after using webtop. After reflashing the enhanced stock 0.2.0 it would still get stuck at max 1Ghz after using webtop, but a reboot would get the underclocking working again.
I only tried the webtop hack to see if I could get it working. I haven't gone back into it at all so I don't know if this is something that will reoccur. Although I will say that with my day to day use I have not run into any clocking issues since.
Thanks, is there a page somewhere which details which kernels do what and which would work with my rom?

This is the page for faux's kernels. As far as details, start reading and searching through that thread as well as the threads for any ROMS you are using. 99% of the time people will either have the same problem (and possible fix), the other 1% of the time they will identify a bug (i.e. maxed out CPU).
Keep in mind faux does have different kernels for Froyo, GB, and CM7.
For some reason even if I move the slider from 1300my to 1000, when I touch the screen with at least 3 fingers for a few seconds it pegs out at 1300. I read our cpu's are daisy chained so to speak
so the 2nd core kicks in when needed. I tried cpu tuner and it gives the option to powersave and only use one core or if you choose performance it will allow Both cores. Just might be setcpu isn't designed fully for our dual core setup.
thanks for the link to kernels, but i cant find one for HomBase, or a Kernel only download on the homebase thread. i have the Version2, which has some blur, but only the 1.0Ghz clock kernel. where could i get the 1.3GHz download by itself, to see if that might help, as its the one CM7 had iirc

Get the 1.3 from the faux thread that I linked to. They're in the very first post...
CM7 is the only ROM that has its own custom faux kernel. For all other ROMS just match the kernel to the build the ROM is based off of (Froyo or GB). If you're using V.2 of Homebase then use the GB one.
Update: Also, there are other kernels out there. I was only using faux's as an example since you were using CM7 and Homebase.
thanks, ive now got the 1.3Ghz kernel installed successfuly, but it still seems like setcpu will not underclock. i dont know if its normal, but the "Scaling" option is greyed out, and i cant get access to the Advanced tab. is there something im doing wrong in setcpu itself?
thanks again

Lack of underclocking is a known issue with the latest OC kernel. I'm unclear whether it's actually a bug with the kernel or with setCPU not supporting dual core devices. But yeah, there's a problem with it right now. I'm on the stock enhanced, and other than the webtop issue I mentioned above, it works fine.
Scaling/advanced are not available, this is something that is determined by the kernel you are using not the app.
ok so if i understand you right i would be best off using the stock enhanced kernel (for now), as it will underclock fine?

It's working perfectly for me, except after webtop use (which I don't normally use).
I'm still having the same issues regardless of weather I choose power save or performance it will not underclock, and those are the only governors I get the option of :s

Trinity Kernel...1400mhz max?

I recently flashed the newest Trinity Kernel on my Nexus 7. I still have the stock ROM. I tried to tweak the CPU settings with ROM Toolbox and the most I can overclock is 1400mhz. Why can't I overclock to 1600? Is it because of the stock ROM? I'm looking into Glazed Jelly Bean as a custom ROM but I'm not sure I want or need to use a custom ROM at this point.
Any suggestions?
Because he dropped the Max. You probably flashed A111 correct? That's a TSVZ meaning it is slightly over clocked and undervolted kernel meant for battery not for performance.

try a96, its one of my faves. it has a max of 1700mhz http://goo.gl/mLUCZ
Mildly on topic question ... do you notice any imporvments with overclocking? My first experience with overclocking as on my Hero, and then Galaxy S1, but this N7 just feels so fast i cant see overclocking making it any smoother? lol
thanks

Nice, ill have to look into rooting sometime soon.
Ok, I got the a96 and I've flashed it...
Is there a detailed changelog for each version? The a111 said it was a 1600mhz kernel so I don't understand why it was dropped down to 1400. That's where my confusion was.
I did notice some increase in speed at 1400. I was having some stuttering issues with Dead Trigger and Minecraft PE, and they were less with the 1400. I've got it running at 1600 now but I don't know what it will do to the battery or how well it will perform. I'll find out later. I've run through the battery pretty quickly today, but I was tinkering with it A LOT so it's not accurate.
What kind of tweaks could I do using Rom Toolbox that would help me maximize my battery while overclocking to 1.6?
Dont over clock.. i dont even see a need to. I use the ondemand gov which stutters a little but using interactive clears that up. Also using the CFQ IO as it is the stock IO used. Its stock so its gotta be good . Also you should turn F-Sync off that helps quite a bit. Also you could toggle auto hotplug and make it only run two cores while gaming and then turn it back on when finished so that way it will hotplug cores as it sees necessary. You could also up the voltages a little bit, some CPU's dont like the lower voltage and that will cause stuttering and glitching just up them by 25mV and see if it clears if not try another 25mV.
I will try those things, but I really want to play with overclocking and learn what happens. This is my first Android device so I'm experimenting and playing around.
But I have one more question...I've overclocked to 1.5...I found 1.6 to be the same as 1.5. But it seems that after an hour or so, it resets to 1.3. in ROMToolbox. Why is this?
Don't use rom toolbox. Use the Trinity app. It sticks just fine for me. Besides you support the dev to make better kernels.

youre not the first
Overclocking past 1.4 Ghz doesn't result in any major usability improvements. I've gone up to 1.7 Ghz and the only thing it does is make my tablet really warm and unstable. All you really need for improving system performance is I/O tweaks to speed up app and page loading, and a little bit of GPU overclocking to help with the transitional effects.
and, to be honest, depending which trinity kernel im using, im using either 1100 or 1150mhz mostly. on a111 im using 1100mhz and on a96 i used 1150mhz. with those speeds everything is still fast but a bit better on battery
Overclocking
If you want a little more information about the the overclocking if you havent already you might want to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788759 its the official thread of the trinity kernel for grouper.
