Is overclocking safe on android?
I've read somewhere that android
CPU will not burn after
overclocking but only restart. Is it
true?
Also, does anyone know what is a
'safe' cpu frequency and governor
for my Galaxy fit?

Overclocking is safe, but not everytime..
It makes your CPU to get extra voltage than required to run at a given frequency that may cause a permanent damage to your CPU.
A safe frequency of a phone is always on which it is already comes set from the company.
If You want to OverClock your phone.
Then SetCPU is the tool u need..
that's it..

But why would that damage my CPU?
Won't it reboot if it's in a risk?

It will not cause a immediate damage to the CPU.
N ur right the phone will reboot when it may get unstable..
But Continuous over clocking shortens the life of CPU. in some instances it also cause a damage as because OverClocking Forces the CPU to get Extra Voltage over the limit to work at a specified frequency.

Little bit of OverClocking is Ok.
No, it will not cause any damage to your phone.
But If You do this Regularly, It may reduce the life of your Phone's CPU.
You can try other Book readers which are better than adobe reader.
Like Docs2Go or Mantano Reader.

Hey guys,
I have a 8GB Class-4 MicroSD and when my phone is connected via USB, the transfer rate almost never reaches 1MB, which sucks. But if I for examples use an USB card reader I have at home, it'll hit 5MB easily... What's wrong with USB transfers on my phone? Has anyone else had this issue? =\
Thanks in advance,
K.

because this things happen to me also, so i use microsd card reader
I had this problem, when I had flashed gigerbread rom from LG, and formating my card as FAT (Yours is now probably FAT32) was very helpful - big files are written now with about 6-7 MB/s and 3-4MB-size files are written with 4-5 MB/s. It's only workaround, but maybe it will help You.

hi there i bought a tomtec game 7 with android 2.3 is it nessesary to root it? and my battery life is short what can i do about that?
Sent from my android using xda premium
Well, it's never necessary to root your device. Rooting is required in order for some advanced applications to work, such as traffic dumpers, market enabler, root explorer, some backup utilities & call recorders, etc. For the normal use of the phone, it may not be required to root it.
Also, rooting your device may void your warranty.
ok thanks. but its not a phone but a game tablet only got android 2.3 and i want to upgrade it to 3.1 and with rooting i can do that like cynacanmod
Sent from my android using xda premium
I don't see official CM support for your device. Anyway, to flash CM you'll most probably need to unlock bootloader first. Doesn't the manufacturer provides a 3.1 Update?
there are no updates for this device and the manufacturer dont make updates.
but should it be possible?

Because of the open nature of android, it's theorically possible to install Android on any device(There's even a port of Android to x86). But there's some work before making android work on any device. I'm not myself a ROM developer, so I don't know exactly what is required to port android to a specific device, or how much effort it takes, but it certainly takes a while
If you've got your device rooted, on one hand you get advanced features such as CPU freq scaling (may help battery life ), on the other hand the phone becomes less secured, you can even destroy the device with a few clicks.
Battery problem: slow down the cpu, dimmer the display, that't all (because mobile signal tricks don't work for tablets
ok thanks all

He is right. With a rooted device you can save your battery life by scalings and installing pro applications to control the drain.
Battery Life
Hi, me and friends who have rooted and flashed custom roms all found that the battery life was better with these, personally it was the best thing i did - more options for having it how you want etc
Mike.
Root it. You just might learn something in the process.
thanks all it will work great when i am done with it
Rooting is the way to go!
SetCPU is a great app for setting profiles the for the CPU to follow.
When charging, I have mine run at 100%.
When the screen is off, I have the CPU scale way back to save battery life.
Works great and is very easy to configure!
You will have more options if you root it.

Yes ............the second partition will be inaccessible thrugh a normal file manager...use root explorer...and this partition can store your dalvik cache ---once you move it your internal storage will sky rocket check my screen shot ---the power of s2e and Ti backup ( note that s2e can ONLY be used with cm7.x ..its an app like link2sd )

I just got my GP a few weeks ago I just rooted to install the whatsapp. But now that i want to expand my ram i just cant do it.. It says that the swap function has been disabled.

Hmm, idk. I have never even heard of this app until now, and it seems like an interesting idea. The compatibility checker app says my 4.0 is compatible, but I don't want to dish out 8 bucks on something that might not work.

is it really worth it? I read that swap memory will reduce the read-write cycle of your sd card. I don't think that it's a good tradeoff in the long run...

Sd card has at least 100 000 writes per sector so even with heavy use of swap it that would be at least 10-15 years (this program swaps process that are not used often and that just use memory for almost nothing) ..your battery would die much much before.And even if it dies you can buy mikro sd card class 10 cheap and make external to be internal.

How can we get this working on the 5.0? I tried the original version of swapper, and I have to say I've never had this little problem with how many programs are running. Usually I close running programs as I stop using them, now I can have facebook, opera, and other memory intensive programs open with almost no slow down in android at all.
the kernel needs to be able to support swap. i don't believe Entropy's kernel does

Dude, S3 is dual core. Search on web
Dude the international version of s3 i.e. i9300 has 4 cores clocked at 1.4ghz. Search the web
I am pretty sure that international version has 4 cores. At least mine has.
http://www.samsung.com/pl/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phones/smartphone/GT-I9300MBDXEO-spec
As for the file manager - isn't it more dependent on read/write parameters of the sd card than the cpu?
oh ya thats there.. but still which is best performance wise? and also is there any way to send folders via wifi direct directly rather than zipping them first?

There is no app at all that uses all four cores of s3. So it's pointless. Though the best and fastest is solid explorer beta 2. I tested about ten root explorers she it was best. Try out. It's free on market.
