I am currently using Java API to get accelerometer values in 5Hz, which is below my requirements. I want to achieve at least 50Hz. Is there any way to increase the sampling rate of accelerometer?

I am working on a VOIP based application. I need to capture the audio from mic at 8000 hz sampling rate, get the 20msec packets, encode and send the packets over the network.
Can somebody tell me how to configure the mic for the desired sampling rate?
What is your guy's sampling rate on setcpu? It comes standard as 46875.. This is what it means if you don't know what it means.Sampling Rate is defined in microseconds. The lower this value, the more responsive the CPU will be in scaling its speed up or down. However, a lower sampling rate will also negatively impact overall performance.

We been doing some testing of the G1 accelerometer on Android, and wanted to see if others have gotten the same result.Our test uses a partial wake lock to keep the CPU alive.It stores the xyz values and time to local storage and then writes them to a file on the SD card once a second.The code below produces a csv file.The xyz values we're getting are within the expected range, but the sample rate of the accelerometer varies greatly.To determine that using the file produced, for each sample, we found the difference between the samples timestamp (taken from the SensorEvent) and the timestamp from the previous sample.The test results showed the time between samples ranging from 30 milliseconds up to 4.6 second spikes.We're interested to know if other people are seeing similar behavior from their phones.If you have the time and means.

However when laying the phone flat down and playing the game without the accelerometer gives nice 0,0,0 values. However when play WITH SOUNDS on, i get a buch of weird values: while the phone is NOT moving.
This is really a big bug that makes life hard for Game Developers. I tried to take an avarge of the last 5 values from the sensor.. but this is not enough.. The harder the sounds plays: the higher the weird sensor values. When using the headphones: almost no weird values. Seems that sounds interferes with the accelerometer sensor.
44.1 kHz Sampling does not work, is it the microphone hardware problem, or lack of software?
Specifically RTA analayzer application does not work.
create an FBO of resolution less than the full phone screen dimensions (user-selected quality vs speed option) do most of my scene rendering into that FBO * then the 'real' (full screen) render would either use the FBO as the starting background color buffer contents, or render it (probably orthographically) as a single quad. * then probably add UI/Text decoration on top of that, where the resolutions really benefits.And, is there some egl glue (I am a glSurfaceView kinda dood) that would automagically do something like this in the first place?Or am I being naive to think the GPU could do its work faster if it was rendering to a lower resolution target? And would the phone with the worst fill rate also be the phone that doesn't support FBOs in the first place?

I used the NDK and OpenGL ES 2.0 to display a frame as a texture on a GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP. This was done on a HTC Desire, same hardware as Nexus One. I tried to load multiple GL_RGBA textures and switch between the textures, because the normal fill rate with a single texture was disappointingly low:

I think even 30.32 fps RGBA is still too slow.
So is this the way to go to achieve the fastest 2D frame rate (with same quality)?
Any suggestions to speed it up?
Here is the relevant code, it is based on the hello-gl2 NDK example:

Hey folks HumanMachine here with a little query for those of you who were lucky enough to have picked up a 32GB MicroSD for your phones.I had, and lost mine, in the course of two days. Short story incoming. TLDR Below I was using my phone at work and decided to change my Live Wallpaper, I'd downloaded a few of them and was going through them just to see how they looked in motion. I remember specifically looking at the "Starfield" wallpaper. I then selected the "Battery - Couple the ship's energy source with phone's battery" To see what the option did. I backed out to apply the Wallpaper. And the Droid X locks. Weird I thought, maybe she's just lagged.Turned out a lot worse than that. She was just straight up frozen. Stuck on this unusable frozen starfield. I couldn't quite remember how to reboot the phone. or even if it were possible, Couldn't power her down, so I removed her battery, figured that would be enough to get her back to life.I was met with a message, once the phone loaded up. "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem" Not the first time I've seen this issue pop up on the android forums. I immediately popped the MicroSD card into my little USB dongle and attempted to access the MicroSD. Shows up in "My Computer" just fine. but when I tried to access it? "Please insert disc" et cetera et cetera.
I try to format. No dice, Computer won't even find the thing. Try my SD formatter, no dice.Stick the 16 GB card back into the phone, and we're sailing again. And here I am staring sadly at the card.I tried for about an hour more to breathe some life into it. I just couldn't get the computer or phone to read the card. Same error messages.TLDR For those of you who wanted to skip the story SD Card died. pathetically, didn't lose much but still. My question, do we have any idea what the failure rates are on these bad boys? I didn't mistreat or even do much with mine before this issue came up. Hopefully I just had a lemon. Unfortunately, the store I got mine at. Verizon store actually, didn't have any, nor do they know when they will get a shipment of them.I'm bummed. go figure. Time to play the waiting game.
I'm new to development on Android and thought maybe you could shed some light on my problem. I'm trying to code up a little object to take care of playing a list of songs at a constantly varying playback rate. I just spent a god chunk of time getting it going with SoundPool only to find out about the undocumented 1 mb file limit. Do you guys have any ideas? Should I be using AudioTrack? I was going to try that next. Any tips or code samples for doing this kind of thing? It's such a shame that neither JetPlayer nor MediaPlayer support rate changes.

Before I disassemble the cig lighter adapter I have and put it inside the console, I want to make sure that it's one that can provide a full charge, not just a trickle. I'd read that the trick is to get one rated at 1000mA which I did, but I've also read that some charger with that rating still can't provide more than a trickle charge. Short of plugging in my phone to that charger and using it for a while to see how quickly it charges, is there any way to see if the phone is getting a trickle or full charge?

Looks like I can draw to a canvas and then pop it up to the bitmap to do this... but that still confuses me a bit.but I am struggling with the concepts of this code having an ID for the canvas and how to use that so I have not been able to test this code(I am a experienced c/c++/c#/dx/opengl coder first time with android and java)
Downloaded this update a few days ago and have yet to run into a song that sounds horrible as it did initially (even some in version 1.5 were a little off). I also noticed I'm receiving more data according to the Media Server Service. Think they upped the bit-rate over 3g? This is strictly speaking of audio streamed over 3g. I cant find a change log for Pandora....Anyone else have any thoughts on the new version? BTW I am a subscriber to Pandora One and use this in the car during my commute through the AUX IN in my stereo.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a quite simple openGL ES 1 program run a smooth solid 60fps on a couple devices out there, and I get stuck on HTC desire. The phone itself is quick, snappy, powerful, and overall a breeze to use ; however, I can't seem to display anything fullscreen at 60fps with OpenGL. After getting stuck for a long time with my app, I decided to make a test app with code right out the sample code from the documentation.Here is what I am doing. Simple initialization code with GLSurfaceView. I have three versions of onDrawFrame, all dead simple. One is empty. One contains only glClear. One contains just enough state to only draw a fullscreen quad. Trace times before, and after. There is no view other than my GLSurfaceView in my program. I can't explain the times I get.In all cases, the onDrawFrame function itself always finishes under 2ms. But very often, onDrawFrame does not get called again before 30~40ms, dropping my frame rate all the way to 30fps or less. I get around 50fps with an empty onDrawFrame, 45 with glClear and 35 with a quad.
The same code runs at 60 fps on the HTC Magic, on the Samsung Galaxy S, on the Sharp ISO1. Sony Experia X10 caps at a solid 30fps because of its screen. I have been doing much more complicated scenes at a solid 60fps on the HTC Magic which is very underpowered compared to the Desire. I don't have a Nexus One in handy to test. Sure, I except buffer swapping to block for a couple milliseconds. But it just jumps over frames all the time.
Trying to find out what the phone is doing outside of the onDrawFrame handler, I tried to use Debug.startMethodTracing. There is no way I can get the trace to reflect the actual time the phone spends out of the loop. At the end of onDrawFrame, I use startMethodTracing then save the current time (SystemClock.uptimeMillis) in a variable. At the start of the next one I Log.e the time difference since the function last exited, and stopMethodTracing. This will get called over and over so I arrange for stopping once I get a trace for an iteration with a 40+ ms pause. The time scale on the resulting trace is under 2ms time, as if the system was spending 38ms outside of my program, I tried a lot of things. Enumerating EGL configs and try them all one after the other. Just to see if it changed anything, I switched to a render when dirty scheme requesting a redraw at each frame. To no avail. Whatever I do, the expected gap of 14~16ms to swap buffers will take 30+ms around half the time, and no matter what I do it seems like the device is waiting for two screen refreshes. ps on the device shows my application at around 10% cPU, and System_server at 35%. Of course I also tried the obvious, killing other processes, rebooting the device... I always get the same exact result.
I've been playing with OpenGL but am unable to get a steady framerate due to GC. When rendering 100 tiles each frame (in ortho mode), the GC needs to recover ~22000 objects every 3 seconds or so. Each collection is taking around 110 ms. Of course this means quite a framerate dip.
... D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 113ms D/dalvikvm( 9837): GC freed 21841 objects / 524272 bytes in 114ms ...
The rendering loop I tested with is not making any objects and is very simple;
while (super.running) { gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex); for(x = 0 ; x < 100; x++) { gl.glVertexPointer(2, GL10.GL_FIXED, 0, tileCoords[x]); gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FIXED, 0, tileTexCoords[x]); gl.glDrawArrays(GL10.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4); } egl.eglSwapBuffers(dpy, surface);
I am trying out the (latest) Android SDK, and noticed some strange behavior.I've written a skeletal SurfaceView app: Activity, SurfaceView and a rendering thread. It doesn't actually do any painting, and only writes out the framerate to logcat once a second. When it runs in portrait mode, I get around 60 fps. However, when I flip it to landscape the framerate drops to about 30 fps.
I have also tested it on the LunarLender sample, and got similiar results. All of the testing are done on the emulator, since I don't have a physical device.What's it all about? I can't seem to find any mentioning to this on Google, have anyone else experienced that? Is it just an emulator quirk or does it apply to physical hardware too?

I've been playing with the data given by the accelerometer,trying to work out how I can gauge a shake from front to back or side to side. This all seems straightforward enough.But I'd love to know the direction of the shake. So, if the user is shaking backwards and forwards, I want to know if the device is moving away from the user, or back towards him/her. I can't find any way of telling this.
