[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
I'm going by an overall performance including the ability on the overclock side. The Hummingbird overall is a much better CPU. See on a small device I like the highly saturated colors, makes it easier to see in sunlight. I'm used to it considering my Samsung LED tv has the same sort of picture.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
You also like how whites look blue? The hummingbird gpu is a better gpu than the adreno 200 or 205. CPU performance was almost identical.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
My whites look more on the yellow side, kinda like the EVO looked with the Nova screen. Every one has a different tone with the whites on this device. Some say they are pink, blue, or yellow. You have to own one to decide. Again you didn't listen, if your rating overall the Hummingbird is much better. I'm going by stock, and overclocking capabilities along with the GPU. If you rated on an entire scale the HB would win by a lot. Also remember that I use both the OG Evo and the Nexus S for my daily drivers. The Nexus S is hands down faster even loading apps.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
A nexus one is still better than a evo
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The hummingbird CPU was built on a 45nm process and thus generates less heat, making it much more overclockable and battery effecient.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
In what? The EVO tested better on the GPU side, even though they both housed the same chip. The only reason the N1 felt faster was because it was running vanilla Android and not being bogged down by Sense.

Thank you forgot to post that little tidbit.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm pretty sure that the N1 got updated GPU drivers with 2.3.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Then they should be equal.. I mean they are the exact same chip. So I don't see how it would test any higher.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
..because of better drivers.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
If any fps was gained, it wouldn't be a significant jump. Plus when the EVO gets on GB it will once again be equal.

[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Hmmmm, because of the pentile matrix used in SAMOLED screens its a pretty well known fact that the whites get washed with a bluish tint, not just defective screens but ALL of them- its due to the tech, there is no way around it. SAMOLED+, however no longer uses the pentile matrix, has more subpixels, and thus has fixed this issue. LCD screens have more accurate representation of true color than SAMOLED screens, period.

Bottom line on the CPU is this- the CPU performance between the two processors was very similar. GPU performance is where there is significant differences in the level of performance. Benchmarking shows similar CPU performance meaning they perform the tasks done in benchmarking at the same level of efficiency and speed. You will however see large discrepancies in GPU performance. Yes, the HB is a better more efficient processor, but you explicitly said it was faster (i.e. talking about CPU performance not graphics rendering) than the SD, which is not supported by the objective data available in benchmark testing.
[EVO 4G General] RoB3513:
I like the pure google aspect of the nexus s 4g but gonna wait for the Evo 3d! Alot of amazing devs already!
[EVO 4G General] luvtorev:
The nexus s this far has been an awsome phone with it's beatiful screen, light weight, and it fits a lot better in my pocket. The camera takes and shoots very nicely compared to the 8mp on the evo and battery life has been better than the evo, call quality is very good, speaker phone not as loud as the evo and I miss that.

I love the fact that it will be getting all the updates but so far with all these dual core beasts coming out, I don't know if there will be many devs for the nexus s and that might make me return the nexus s and get the evo3d or ssgs2. The thing I loved about the evo was the amount of devs, meaning there is a new rom almos daily and that makes the phone that much better for customization (at least for those like me that don't really know how to).

In the end, I will wait until my 30 days with the nexus s (june 10) is up and see what my options are. Evo 3d, ssgs2? or maybe even switching carriers....by the way in my area there is tmobile 4g almost everywhere but no sprint 4g at all, that has been tempting me for a long time now but I'm not sure how the service really is with tmobile. Does anyone here?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I don't even know why there's so much hardware talk. The main appeal of the Nexus S is that its one of two phones that gets the latest greatest Android stuff as soon as we hear about it. And with none of the major bugs of ported or custom ROMs.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
I really doubt that sadly. The Evo is still pretty nice, but a new OS with ext4 format will not magically give you a huge performance increase. Even though quadrant is more of a synthetic benchmark, and I haven't tested any sense gingerbread roms but asop c mod 7 evo doesn't bench as high as what 2.2 variants do. At least not for me and many different kernels and OC's. The original snapdragon is just not as efficient as Hummingbird, and it is losing its ground. Snapdragon Scorpion is holding okay, and with an updated core coming at 1.2 ghz for the kingdom it'll hold up some more as well, but then there's the infuse with a 1.4ghz hummingbird.

What's really holding back the original snapdragon, and why qualcomm didn't decide to go with anything higher because of current offerings, price, what they wanted, whatever the reason is beyond me and that's the Adreno 200.

This is the main appeal of the Nexus S. I'm not a huge Samsung fan seeing how they've handled updates and phones in their recent years, but I wouldn't mind a Nexus S seeing that google is maintaining that phone.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
In metropolitan areas T-Mobile is good, but out in the country and highways the reception is less than desirable. It all depends how much you travel and where you live. I'd also wait out the At&T-Mobile merger and see how that plays out.

This thread is Meant to display my results from "battery" testing "performance" benchmarks etc. to show its fullest potential.

I've ran "quadrent, linepack and some other benchmark" results vary.

QUADRENT I usually get depending on how many widgets, background task are open about 1900-2300 and Used "SET CPU" To performance mode "926 MHZ - 1000 MHZ

Eagerly waiting on a OC For the tegra 2 chipset on the iconia "xoom" has already achieved great speeds of 1.5 (1500) GHZ

I made a short brief 6 minute video of me running a few benchmarks, to show the speeds it achieves. "video proccessing will be watchable in about 5 minutes"

Next test i will be running on this device is battery life, something lots of people are converned about should have results in qbout 48 Hours, will keep update will run many test on this device, from straight playing games battery life to just movies web browsing etc. the whole 9 yard.

Will continuasly post updates on new things i found out from overclocking testing everything you can imagine.

I also ask that we all as a community can share our expieriences with the device from batterly life to performance to enchancements.

[Acer Iconia A500] lil97jeeptjj:
Wow I wish you had kept this thred up I would have loved to see this before I purchased.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
hmmmm

Correct me if I am wrong, please: but by using setCPU to set a "performance" option and setting the speed lower then stock clock speed (926 mhz?) you have now disabled the systems ability to lower the clock speed and are underclocking the system.

Am I mistaken in assuming that you are going to get rather useless data on the overall performance of the system by setting these options? By underclocking, you have installed a custom kernel on the device and any results you get are going to be subject to the performance of that kernel, which is not what the a500 stock is running.

Why 926 mhz? Stock is 1.0 ghz, I generally run at 1.4ghz+. Am I missing something? Again, by setting SetCPU to "performance" any data you come up with is going to be on a system that cannot lower clock speed during low use periods, so your battery life stats will be lower then a normal users experience.

ARM based chips are built to scale the speed depending on load. By setting performance mode, you disable the chipsets ability to scale, right?
[Thunderbolt General] astalaat:
Running CM7 Test 4 on the new radio. Finally got 4G to switch on and stay on but my speeds are terribly low (0-2mbps). I believe im running REV A enabled per the advice of someone in the CM7 thread.. Any idea's? I was so happy to see that 4g icon light up but its still running like its on 3g.
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
It might be the network? I'm not saying it is but it's something to think about.
[Thunderbolt General] astalaat:
One way to know for sure I suppose. Ill flash back to bamf. And see where my speeds are
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:
It would be helpful to know what area are you from. Could be network issue.

If you're in NYC the speeds should be normal.
[Thunderbolt General] Aerogriff:
I think it's something with cm7 and the recent 4g outage. Pretty sure slayher commented about it on his twitter. I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update soon.
[Thunderbolt General] astalaat:
For anyone interested it was the network. Rom works fine once its got a lock on 4g. Had it stable all day. Speeds shot back up without a reboot or anything

does anyone know how to turn off word suggestion on the Asus keyboard? I like the Asus one because it has numbers on top but even if I turn off word suggestion in the settings, it's still there. On the other keyboard I can turn it off, but it does not have numbers displayed on top.

Thanks for your suggestions!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechaStreisand:
I was able to disable the word prediction (which is abysmal in my opinion) by going to Settings>Language & Input>Settings (in the ASUS Keyboard section) and deselecting Next Word Prediction. Might also be able to do it by adjusting the Word Completion setting on that screen, not sure. I've got mine working the way I want so I don't really want to mess with it and risk screwing it up just now.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
Hi. Despite all the problems, I'm still thinking of upgrading to the G2X. I've had a N1 since the week they came out, and while I love this phone, I'm starting to tire of the sloppy touchscreen (and a slightly bigger screen for reading sounds very appealing). This is part user error no doubt, but I get frustrated by all the errors in my typing. I use my wife's iPhone 4 and I'm pretty much error free, the typing is so much more precise -- so I'm beginning to crave a better touchscreen experience. I've read that people say the G2X is pretty sensitive, but what are some of your experiences using the touchscreen? Especially if you had or have an N1? Does the G2X screen feel less plasticky than the N1? I know, I need to get to a store and play with one, just seeking some opinions. Thx.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
Just came from Nexus One and I find that my typing is off on the G2x because my digitizer was off (high) on the n1. G2X seems sensitive though, and I still have my screen plastic on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
G2x touchscreen is good as NS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I too am coming from an N1 (I ran mine through the washer last Mon.)

Though I never had any complaints about the Nexus screen feeling plasticy, I was often frustrated by the inaccuracy of touch input. Especially with the buttons allong the bottom.

The Engadget review of the G2x complained of an insensitive touch screen requiring a firmer than normal touch/press to register. I have not found this to be the case at all. In fact I find the touchscreen to be very sensitive and particularly snappy and fluid, helped along by the noticeably faster processor.

Light bleed issues aside that really only show up when watching a letter boxed movie in the dark, this phone is a definite upgrade from my dearly departed N1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bananaslug:
I came from a N1 also. The G2x is going to have a much more similar typing experience to the iphone because it supports true multitouch, where the N1 did not.

Most of my nexus one typing troubles came from the fact that i would type too quickly and press the next letter before i released the first one causing it to pick a letter in between my two fingers leading to typos.

Since the G2x supports up to 10 touches at once, I have not and doubt i will ever be faced with that problem again. Overall I've been very happy with every aspect of my new phone and have not had a single problem with it.

When gingerbread comes out and the keyboard is able to better support multitouch, the experience will likely get even better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:
I am coming from a mytouch, and I find the g2x far less responsive. Requiring multiple double taps, and corrections if I'm typing fast

I have big fingers though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I started with a Mytouch too, it was in my pocket when I bought my G2x. I would think that if your G2x is less touch responsive than your MT3G then there may be something wrong with the G2x.

ETA: Unless you're just talking about typing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
My screen is as responsive as my vibrant and way better than n1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
same here, minus the big fingers!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
Thanks folks. Seems like experiences are varied, so I'll just have to go try one out or take the plunge!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
if you have any qualms with the n1 touch screen then the g2x is a breath of fresh air...

i came from the n1 and i love the new screen!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Those who aren't happy with your touch screen will be happy very soon. Looks like LG was listening and they updated the touch sensitivity and page scrolling algorithm. The updates will be coming in the Gingerbread package. This device will be that much better in a couple weeks.

http://thisismynext.com/2011/05/01/t-mobile-g2x-gingerbread-update-review/

Note: There is a hack in the development section that changes the page scrolling algorithm and you can now scroll an entire page with one flick. It's super fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
Nice! (Of course all I really want are reasons to get the phone)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oilfighter:
I came from an iPhone 3G. I certainly feel less confident typing on the G2x than I did on the iphone. But I gave swipe a try, and I find that it's a much better choice over the default keyboard on either phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
Agreed. I use swype in portrait and smart keyboard pro in landscape.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
My only complaint was getting used to the bigger screen coming from the N1 3.7". Letters are further spaced out, which is nice, but throws off my rhythm. After a few days I converted over and used to the difference.

From an N1, i've been going back and replaying lots of games that required a good multitouch. Feels good.

I also LOVE the beveled edged. Feels so good to swipe on and off of it. Plus it feels great for scrolling down the side.
