Ok so I am doing some testing on my Nexus 4 (quad, 1.5GHz). Maybe from it we can see what your issues might be or give some help.
Note that neon is an instruction set on most ARM processors. It is mainly used for media processing, such as mp3 decoding. Most notably, Nvidia chose to remove the feature from their otherwise stock ARM Cortex A9 Tegra 2 chip.
I checked the deep sleep info using CPU Spy.
App: Litecoin miner --> 0.09Kh/s (per core? output isn't clear on info)Analysis: At this speed, you would have to wait a while to see results as it might be a while before a single share is even accepted. The Miner can't prevent deep sleep with the screen off
Bugs: Mining continues but the interface resets and doesn't provide output if you rotate the screen.
Notes: Appears to be a black themed clone of AndLTC but without neon support. I really hope this developer is more interested in keeping up with development.
App: AndLTC --> ~7.5Kh/s using neon, ~4.3Kh/s without neonAnalysis: I used to use this one on and off. It had cpu core detection issues on some of my phones.
Bugs: Mining stops if you rotate the screen. My phone went into deep sleep when I turned off the screen. console output doesn't autoscroll.
Notes: Developer appears uninterested in updating the app or fixing the issues. Purchase of pay for version not recommended.
App: LTCMiner --> 0.11Kh/sAnalysis: good interface
Bugs: Do not go to the news tab EVER, it will get stuck in a crash loop. It doesn't show hashrate when in "run in background" mode. This one also fails to keep the phone out of deep sleep with the screen off.
Notes: Enable "run in background" if you want to mine without being inside the app
I wonder if there is simply no way to prevent deep sleep with the screen off in android? Which is kinda too bad as you have to watch your idle settings and make sure it doesn't screen-off when idle and plugged in.
Hi,
I used both litecoinminer and ltcminer as well, and while shares where indicated on the device, nothing on the pool account interface...
Device : Galaxy Nexus
Pool :
https://notroll.in/index.phpMining on your phone is slow. Pools estimate your hashrate based on your submitted shares. How long did you wait for?
I have a unit at ~ 130Kh/s going that submits a share once every second.
Going by that, LTCminer should submit once every 10-20 seconds. I will report back to you if I find I have the same issue. I used to mine with it on litecoinpool.org and had no issues though. I am using notroll.in now, however. Anyway, I will edit this post to save space so watch for it.
EDIT: maybe it takes longer than I thought. I've been running my desktop Phenom IIx6 on one core at 6.44Kh/s for 6 hours. My shares submitted to notroll.in are 50. This just so happens to be the same speed of the total of all 4 cpu cores on my nexus 4 when it throttles to 1.1GHz after a while. It has been running for less than 30 minutes and has yet to submit a share.
UPDATE: since this post was first made until the edit date listed at the bottom, my nexus 4 has submitted 5 shares and my phenom II single core has submitted 7 shares. So that is how long you should wait to see reflected results. Do not expect accurate estimates at such low speeds. For example, my phenom II on notroll.in is showing 3.5Kh/s and my phone is showing 0Kh/s. This is because they base the estimate on share submissions. If your submissions are too slow, the speed will not be accurately reflected.
