[Double Dash!] Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab) [Android, Unknown] MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab, MD5 Hash: Compute) [Android, Unknown] What's the problem? Describe what went wrong. [When starting the game with OpenGL, and JIT, it'll be fine till you get to the starting the game and it'll crash out] What steps will reproduce the problem? [Load game, and choose default options to start the game] Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work? [Last 10 android versions] What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more) [[https://www.wileyfox.com/media/custom/upload/File-1478721925.pdf]] Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots, configuration files) [I have the ADB Logcat logs, but it doesn't seem to have too much information and hesitant to upload in case of personal info, are there any more logs that are Dolphin specific I can upload?] History #1 - 01/11/2017 09:58 AM - JosJuice Please test this with interpreter (Cached Interpreter is fine). If it doesn't work then, also test once with software rendering (you can use JIT when doing this). 09/29/2021 1/3 #2 - 01/11/2017 10:03 AM - Anonymous @JosJuice Sorry I submitted before I did that, currently trying all that currently to figure which component is the issue. Are there any logs or a verbose setting for adb? #3 - 01/11/2017 11:01 AM - Anonymous - File Screenshot_20170111-105826.png added Works with Software Rendering, (took about 30 minutes :) ) #4 - 01/11/2017 11:12 AM - degasus So likely a GPU driver bug. #5 - 01/11/2017 12:03 PM - Anonymous Can I get you some logs or do some more debugging for you? As it seems to happen with Need for Speed too. #6 - 01/11/2017 12:10 PM - degasus The common way is to disable all optional GL features we use and to bisect which one is the broken one. The logic starts here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/VideoBackends/OGL/Render.cpp#L442 And ends (for mobile contexts) here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/VideoBackends/OGL/Render.cpp#L562 Compiling with android-studio >= 2.1 should be mostly straight forward, but feel free to ask me for help on #dolphin-emu @freenode. #7 - 01/29/2017 06:40 PM - JMC4789 - Subject changed from Double Dash Crash once trying to start the race to [Android] Double Dash Crash once trying to start the race - Operating system Android added - Operating system deleted (N/A) #8 - 01/30/2017 05:35 PM - Anonymous A bit more info : 01-30 11:42:44.089 6170 6238 W Adreno-GSL: : ioctl fd 21 code 0xc040094a (IOCTL_KGSL_GPU_COMMAND) failed: errno 71 Protocol error 01-30 11:42:44.089 6170 6238 W Adreno-GSL: : panel.gpuSnapshotPath is not set.not generating user snapshot Messaged a user with a similar problem and got this "I was able to "solve" the problem by not putting too many vertices "in flight", i.e. calling glFinish() within a frame every time the number of unrendered vertices exceeds a threshold (I think I picked 1 million or so)." 01-30 11:42:44.158 6170 6238 W Adreno-GSL: : ioctl fd 21 code 0xc040094a (IOCTL_KGSL_GPU_COMMAND) failed: errno 35 Resource deadlock would occur 09/29/2021 2/3 #9 - 08/03/2017 01:32 AM - JMC4789 - Status changed from New to Questionable - Assignee set to degasus Tested on a NVIDIA shield and I didn't have any issues. Do we want to do something about this or is it a won'tfix? #10 - 08/03/2017 07:37 AM - degasus This error message sounds like a GPU hang. This can occur in two ways: - Too much rendering jobs in one command queue. The way to "fix" it is to often call glFinish, but we don't queue lots of work, especially on 1xIR. Every mobile GPU should handle be able to handle our GPU load in real time. - Dead lock on the GPU itself, maybe because of a driver bug emiting broken code, or a hardware bug not worked around by the driver. In both ways, only Qualcomm is able to fix it. #11 - 08/17/2017 09:47 PM - JMC4789 - Status changed from Questionable to Invalid I tested on Android with working drivers (NVIDIA Shield T.V.) and there was no crash. There are too many issues on the tracker clogging it up where there is nothing for us to do, so I'm closing this one. If someone disagrees on the project they can reopen it as sometimes there is a potential fix/hack that can be implemented.

  • Multi-Company Report
    February 22, 2016 Equity Research MWC Trade Show: Smartphones, IoT, Automotive Today (2/22/2015) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain we were interested to see various chip companies like Qualcomm, Intel, MediaTek and Infineon highlighted chip technology for smartphones, drones, wearables, virtual reality and automotive applications. Qualcomm announced its 820 Semiconductors processor will be used in Samsung’s Galaxy S7 series phones in some regions. We think that Samsung’s decision to use the Snapdragon 820 processor in its flagship Galaxy S7 family of smartphones suggests that Qualcomm has fixed the issues with the prior generation Snapdragon 810 family of chips that impacted Qualcomm competitively in 2015. We are reiterating our Outperform rating on Qualcomm (QCOM, $51.28). Qualcomm announced the latest Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge for select regions will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor with the integrated Snapdragon X12 LTE (long term evolution) modem. In addition the new LG G5 smartphone, HP Elite X3 and Sony Xperia X Performance will be based on Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 820 chipset. Intel’s booth emphasized wireless and 5G demonstrations, along with network and cloud demonstrations using NFV (network functions virtualization). Intel also had examples of connected devices using its solutions including smart eyewear, wireless charging and an Intel Curie based wearable payment device. We think that Intel’s early investments in 5G, its efforts to build its 4G LTE cellular modem position, its portfolio of other shorter range wireless capabilities and its expertise in processors will help Intel establish itself as an important chip provider in the IoT (internet of things) space in the future.

  • What to Do After You Download Android Pie Android Pie 9: All You Need to Know
    what to do after you download android pie Android Pie 9: All you need to know. Google often uses alphabet letters to name its Android versions and it’s clear that the company is fast making its way down the line. The search giant announced the next version of its popular OS, Android 9, on August 6, 2018 and it’s christened Android Pie. So, let’s check out all you need to know about the new Android 9 Pie. In a nutshell What will the next Android version be called? When will my device get Android Pie? Android 9 Pie features Available for download for Pixel, Pixel 2, and Essential Phone. In a nutshell. It’s Android 9, not Android 9.0 (in case you are wondering) And it’s labeled as Android Pie We figured it could be called Android Pie, or even the pumpkin pie, but you know who won! Available for Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, and Essential Phone Will come pre-installed on the Google Pixel 3. What will the next Android version be called? For years now, Google names its Android OS versions after sweet puddings and alphabetically as shown below. Our initial guess for Android P had us hooked on names like Pancake, Pie, Peppermint, and Pineapple, but we all know the name-anticipation fun is now dead and gone! Google has confirmed that Android 9 is called Android Pie. That’s it. Android C upcake Android D onut Android E clair Android F royo Android G ingerbread Android H oneycomb Android I ce Cream Sandwich Android J elly Bean Android K itKat Android L ollipop Android M arshmallow Android N ougat Android O reo Android P ie.

    ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 IJARCCE ISSN (Print) 2319 5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 5, Issue 2, February 2016 CyanogenMod as an Aftermarket Firmware Replacement for Android Ashok Patel Department of Computer Engineering, K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering, Vidyavihar, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Abstract: Android has grown tremendously as an open source operating system for mobile handsets (smartphones) and continues to expand covering various other aspects of our digital lives such as Television, cars, wrist watches, and oth- er smart home devices. CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware developed using the Android Open Source Project sources and distributed officially as well as unofficially to numerous smartphones worldwide. Its impact as an alterna- tive to Google‟s stock Android user experience and intervention into the realm of already overcrowded industry, with an aim of „taking Android away from Google‟ is worth studying.
