[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
I think that's *exceptionally* unlikely, to be honest. Almost certainly it's a software issue, although that's no guarantee it'll be fixed. There's very little chance the hardware itself is causing the stuttering, though, nor that it requires a multi-second shutter lag.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I can't remember which one, but one of the reviews (maybe Anandtech's?) mentioned that the camera issue is a known software issue that's been resolved in the latest firmware update. I fully expect this to be the case and am not worried about it at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 0TheRain0:
Not totally sure, but I think the issue that's been solved is the green screen issue. But anyway, I'm not nearly as confident as you guys that the frame rate issue will be solved. I do hope it does get solved, but it's not going to stop me from buying the device if it doesn't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Yep, that's the only thing I've seen stated as being resolved, so far. (Camera-related, anyway).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
From buying different devices over the years I learned one thing - if something doesn't work properly out of the box don't expect it to be fixed. It's better to be positively suprised when it is (rarely) than to be frustrated with every update that does nothing you expected it to do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Sage advice indeed. I've lost count of the product I've bought over the years that failed to meet their published specifications or even come close, and were never fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DKYang:
Do people still take Engadget reviews seriously? With sites like Andantech and other good Android-based sites that actually know Android and do a good review (like Android Central), who cares about Engadget. If they had an Android person to do the review, then I'll be fine with that, but I doubt they have any just like Cnet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Engadget just reviewed the Iconia

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/26/acer-iconia-tab-a500-review/

I really wouldnt rely on them as a trustworthy source when they have comments like this
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iron_pyrite:
Wow. What does that last Engadget paragraph even mean? That's a spoonful of FUD pudding. Or fudding, I guess.:p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bplewis24:
Longevity of the SoC given the lack of software support? Trivia for Engadget: how many other SoCs are currently on the market driving Honeycomb tablets?

I agree that there are other SoCs out there that appear to be better in the GPU department, but to act as if there is a proliferation of those on the market or coming to the market is disingenuous (and they are mostly in cell phone form anyway).

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Neoprimal:
Engadget has an Apple bias, but they have a point in this case. Tegra 2 is aged at this point and it's hard to recommend the iconia tab over the eee transformer or xoom - especially at the $450 price point. One might say there's not exactly reason except for personal preference, to pick the iconia tab over the transformer and vice versa.

While I feel the score itself was pretty low, I'd say there's nothing wrong with that comment at all. By June we'll be seeing dual core snapdragon and Adreno 220 which so far I'm reading beats the Tegra 2 pretty nicely. By October or so we'll be seeing Dual/Triple core Samsung silicon, so his saying "if you have to have an Android tablet right now" isn't being facetious or anything, he's just making his point. If I could wait, you bet your butt I would, even till July, but alas I can't. I want a tab and I want it now - it was the reason I got a GTablet and it's the same reason I got my Iconia Tab. There will always be something better 2-3 months away, the trick is to get something you like and stick with it until either you get tired of it or decide there's something better worth getting. I don't believe in letting reviews skew things for me....unless it's something that really affects me in some way.

In this case, the only case of bias I think Engadget put forward is that score. I'd score it an 8/10 right now....-1 for my not being able to play video (that may just be me), -1/2 for the slightly visible grid and -1/2 for misc. software gripes that may/may not be Acers fault.

+1 for thoughtful hardware design

+1 for light ui layer

+5 for features

+1 for perceived build quality
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bplewis24:
All silicon will be outdated within 6 months of launch. That is nothing new. The reviewer is suggesting that this SoC will lack support and thus has no longevity.

Sure, somebody will be able to get more FPS from a GPU released later this year or next, but that doesn't mean it's useless.

Brandon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
So far, here are the mainstream, "competitive" tablets (i.e., later/better spec'd than the Gtab) either shipping, announced, or rumored as using the Tegra 2:

- Motorola Xoom (shipping)

- Acer Iconia (shipping)

- Asus Eee Pad Transformer (shipping)

- Asus Eee Pad Slider (announced)

- Toshiba tablet (announced)

- Dell Streak 7 (shipping)

- Lenovo (rumored)

- LG G-Slate (shipping)

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 & 10.1 (announced, could theoretically switch to Samsung silicon but I doubt it)

That's not to mention all of the smartphones that are also announced, shipping, or rumored running the Tegra 2.

It will take a collapse of extraordinary magnitude for this chipset not to get developer support. Given the games I've seen running on the Xoom, I think the Nvidia GPU is doing just fine and likely has plenty of room for optimizations. Given just these devices themselves, I'd say the entire Honeycomb market will have to fail miserably for the Tegra 2 to be considered a failure. And if that happens, then other chipsets won't matter one whit.

Edit: I'm probably missing some tablets, as well. If I am, let me know which ones.

The game i am trying it on is die hard trilogy, the airport section.

Point Blank would be awesome if it supports light gun by way of touch screen and so would time crisis !

New OFW 2.0134 + gapps update!!

Hey bestialbub, Also did the new update + your gapps update. Everything I used from market works great. One game "Crazy Snowboard" seems to have a ornamentation problem but I think that its a app problem because "Penguin Skiing" , a similar game, works fine. This Gapps update is a great alternative for people who want or need the OFW firmware updates from Elocity but don't want to wait for Dexter to update his mod's. Great work!!! I will be ending you a donation.:D

Recommendation for "gapps update:

Adding a backup and restore app like "Titanium Backup" as part of the gapps update so I don't have to reinstall from market every time I do a an update.

Recommendation for "Elocity updates:

Elocity needs to fix the way the sdcard is mounted. Sd card should be more compliant with android 2.2 standards. Right now system backups and apps are stored in "storage" folder. OFW updates and "wipe/data factory resets" reformat/destroys all data on that partition and there is no system option to backup to the sdcard (ie., sdcard-disk0.) This is a problem when you are providing all these OFW updates. I have to use a market(not included:confused:) provided app to backup my app and another app to move the folders from "storage" to sdcard. That makes no sense. :confused:
[A7 General] tumpy:
For some reason i dont have adobe flash and Asphalt 5 still cannot load these two option alone for me make me revert back to dexter mod...

just got off the phone with elocity and mention my gripe with this firmware

i mention to them about dexter and bestialbub who is helping us elocity owners, they guy there say only appoke a gapps apps will work with their firmware...
[A7 General] bestialbub:
i believe i did see adobe flash listed in market for update/installation, which is going to be more updated than what would come preinstalled. otherwise i'll check to see if inserting gapps into the system image causes any initial setup problems, as the preinstalled adobe flash is installed on first boot, i think even to the user data partition, so this shouldnt be an issue.

all other non gapps issues are likely rom specific and still awaiting my inspection. recovery is next on the list.

regarding manufacture support or statement against software not supplied by them; they obviously wont support it. most manufactures would even recommend against it; except these new tablet manufacturers are skirting support and linking directly to xda forums for support; so they cant straight nay say solutions promoted here. they cant endorse them either.
[A7 General] rphilippe777:
I downloaded and installed flash 10.2 from market without any problems. Tested the installed version here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. "Asphalt 5" seems a little complicated to install right now but looks like a nice game. I might try it myself if I can get the files together.

After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM

Hello folks,

After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM, instead I have a useless handwriting option? Does anyone know how I can get my pinch to zoom working again?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
Things like backing up and the phone restarting seems to have got slower after the upgrade.

I copied everything from the OEM 8Gb to my pc, formatted and partitioned the new card with the defaults that the AMON recovery uses. Left the ext as ext2. I formatted the cached and dalvik cache.

Is there anything else. The shortcuts on the launcher take 20+ seconds longer to load than before.

Should I reload a kernel or do a full factory reset?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petemills8:
Have you done a speedtest on the new card to see if you're actually getting class 10 speeds?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Are you sure the new card is good? There are a LOT of fakes out there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I got the card from NewEgg. It was an AData and had good reviews.

According to the speed test I am getting 8.30 MB/s. So does that mean it is a little better than a class 8 card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Why leave it as ext2?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I left it as Ext 2 because everything I read was that Ext 3 and Ext 4 slowed down rights and was designed for spindle hard drives not flash memory.

Does 8.3MB/s seem right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I just got a write speed of 9.7 and read speed of 24.4 with my Wintec class 10 SD card. Used the SD Tools app.

I did read that ext2 was faster, but ext3 was more stable. Dunno, mine is ext 3 and when I was running apps off of it, I didn't have any lag issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evomattnc:
I was using ext 3 and getting write speeds up to 12 and read up to 50. I also changed my read ahead to like 2048 though. My stock card only writes at 4 so the class 10 is faster.

Try boosting your read ahead speeds up, you can edit the txt yourself (sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead) or just dl sd speed booster from vaelek on market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
What did you use to test?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
I downloaded the SD Tools app I I got 6.4 write and 23.7 read. I'll download the SD Speed Booster from Valek and see if that changes anything.

I am debating on doing a factory reset and reinstalling the MikFroyo Rom and Kernal again and letting all the apps reinstall to see if that helps.

IF I do that what settings should I use on the partitions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I think what they recommend in the MikFroyo thread is 0 swap and 512 ext. That's how I have mine set up although I never use it. I don't run enough apps to go below 150mb free space in the internal memory.

You might look into this as well:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
After running the speed increase app from Diego and setting the values to 2048 my writes went up to 12.9 and reads to 26.5.

So is the internal memory faster than the class 10 external memory. Would you suggest leaving the apps on the internal memory?

I appreciate the help. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
It's called SD Card Speed Booster by Jim Weiler (Vaelek).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
So if you keep your apps on the phone what is the need for faster SD, HD recording, file transfers. I'd liek to see how people use their storage so I can get the most benefit from it.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I did buy the SD Card to run apps off of. In fact, I bought it to use with MikFroyo. That's why I keep it partitioned, in case I want to go back.

It makes sense to do that, I just don't need to anymore.

[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Pawnty:
Not necessarily. It depends on what you define as cheap. Are you referring to cheap in the sense that it's an inexpensive product or cheap in the sense that the product is of inferior quality? I have purchased many inexpensive products over the years and they have worked perfectly fine for me. Why spend $50 on something when I can get something that does the exact same thing for $5.

If you are referring to a product of inferior quality then there is a chance that it will break, yes. But there is still the chance that a product of more superior quality will break as well. The charging cable that came with my Ipod (official apple cable I suppose) is all sorts of cheap crap. the white protective casing around the wires started coming off not even a month after I got it and the cable is now unusable. I could have purchased a replacement from Best Buy, again an official apple cable, for $30 but I instead chose to order a $2 cable off ebay. the $2 cable works much better than the apple one and it has yet to fray or break after ~2 years of use.

Your argument is flawed. Go back to school.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] pongscript:
I agree with pawnty, Ipods ear piece is also expensive but a piece of crap after a couple of months(4-6 months) of use, the rubber just rot and took of.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Watching a movie that is h264 encoded while listening with bluetooth headphones causes a noticeable decrease in video quality. In slow panning scenes the amount of "judder", or stuttering is subtley increased. It gives the video a jerky feeling, as if the video is not quite smooth.

This effect is present across multiple video players in hardware decoding mode. The same videos play more smoothly when listening through wired headphones or the XOOM's built in speakers.

Again, I repeat this a somewhat subtle affect. I spent two days playing with video encoders and handbrake settings, driving myself crazy trying to smooth out my videos. Then, due to a battery failure in my samsung BT headset, I started watching movies with a wired headset and the cause finally dawned on me. I did multiple AB comparisons to confirm the problem.

So if your video doesn't seem quite right, and you are using BT audio, try wired audio or buit in speakers for a while, and compare.
[Xoom General] m0oskk:
I'm using moboplayer right now, and watching Top Chef masters that I encoded into h264 (via Handbrake).

I turned on soft-decoding option, it runs smoothly, and the audio works fine straight from the jack on the top and straight from the speakers.

EDIT: Oops didn't read the post all the way, Sorry.
[Xoom General] patass:
overclock it a little and your problems will be solved.
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Overclocking might solve the problem.

But wow! Wouldn't you think a 1GHz dual core CPU with hardware acceleration for h264 would be enough already just to play BT audio with your video? I'm just surprised overclocking is even necessary.

Edit: Just to point out - the video I'm playing has already been encoded specifically for the XOOM and is being handled by the hardware. The CPU should hardly be taxed to begin with. Is playing BT audio such a processor-intensive task that it should require more than a dual core 1GHz?
