[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfleegle:
My Vibrant took a tumble onto an uneven parking lot last weekend and busted the screen. As much as I like my Vibrant, and since I have to replace it, I've been trying to decide whether to spend a little more and upgrade to a better phone or not.

I'm looking at Quadrant scores around, and the Nexus S is showing around 1600, while my Vibrant shows a score of 951. I was under the impression that the two phones were running very similar hardware, so I don't understand seeing a 68% increase in benchmark scores. Does TouchWiz really eat up that much of the phone's power, or is it something else?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Its because the Vibrant uses a different RFS file system while Nexis S uses ext4 which is a whole lot better and faster.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
becasue 2.3 JIT is optimized for hummingbird were 2.2 JIT isn't

JIT will drastically improve CPU performance

posted this a while back...my vibrant on 2.3 ignore I/O score in green and note the CPU score in blue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=879662

here is vibrant on 2.2 again ignore the I/O score and look at CPU

http://www.eskwadrat.com/vibrant/CAP201008311008.jpg

that isn't true.

I had a vibrant and had voodoo lag fix that converts the file system to ext4 it only helps with i/o score

If you use the paid version on quadrant you will see the boost is in the CPU score ...Google optimized JIT in 2.3 for hummingbird CPU

vibrant will score pretty much the same as NS once it gets 2.3

Hi there,

I think my left stereo speaker of my phone doenst work, is this normal guys

please check your phone has the same or not

the left speaker volume is not so loud as the right one

pleas test it & share:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
Are you talking about the left sound channel when you plug in headphones into the 3,5mm jack or the left sound channel while playing back via HDMI?

Because the phone itself has only one speaker.

The two meshed slots on the bottom of the device are Microphone and Speaker (not two speakers).
[LG Optimus 2x] eraser43:

Back on the stock ROM, the htc mail thing had a large 4x2 widget for mail, so I always used that over the Gmail app

I've looked at the marketplace through all the mail clients, and I've been using K-9 mail for the time being but I'd much prefer that other one again that HTC put on the mt4g when I got it

Is it available somewhere? Maybe an app very similar to it?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Emmanuel U:
you can use launcher pro or android pro widgets ( paid .99 cents but you can probably find it on a fileshare website.)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] BelowTheHeavens:
Launcher Pro Plus has sense like Widgets.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] roee88:
Launcher Pro Plus only has a Gmail widget that no longer works.

Android Pro Widgets does

not

contain any email widget (There are too many email clients and the stock one does not provide any accessible API).

Anyway it's just 99 cents so please don't suggest others to steal it ;)

I suggest you try Pure messenger widget. It has K-9 email support.

BFS: brain **** scheduler, focuses mainly on the app in the foreground, so its more dynamic. May get better quadrant scores, decent for high gaming.

Go check it out, taptu just got updated to 1.4 to support honeycomb, it's like pulse, only better .

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.taptu.streams
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Billus:
Purely a subjective point of view to say it's better than Pulse. Both are good apps and I recommended that everyone tries both before forming an opinion.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] EP2008:
I was an avid Pulse user and have switched over to Taptu. There isn't one thing that Pulse can do which Taptu can't, but Taptu has several features which Pulse lacks :D Both are free, so nothing to lose.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bullet2300:
i much prefer pulse because of the reading pane. But to each their own :) Still, thanks for posting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxp3:
The point of all these "newsreader" is so I can read the news in one place, but I find that how the sites are designed, it's just gives you a breif detail and then you have to follow the link to the real website to finish the story which is really annoying. I might as well have bookmarks to various news sites. It's probably better to find one good news site to go to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ipulaski:
exactly...

UPVISE is the answer, it doesnt give you the link to go somewhere to read the rest of the content, it snaps everything into the app in text only mode -- so you can read the full article from where you are at in the app.

I have been using this for quite sometime on symbian and see no issues.

I dont think it ever stores any of those contents locally anywhere to be concerned about them news articles consuming space.

here is the link.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wolf1306:
I love pulse on my ipad2 and till the developer update the honeycomb one to be on par with the apple one it's not that good, the iPad one is much faster, render quicker, and you can open the full page inside the app and not go outside of it, plus it refreshes faster on ipad2 . Hopefully the developer will update it soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mug2k:
I've switched over to Taptu, for me Pulse was way too limited on the news sources but Taptu is the complete opposite :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] steftymo:
+1 for Taptu.....being uk based I find more feeds available on taptu and the configuration of feeds is much easier. It's fast and most links take you to a text version with an option to go to web page if you need more.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOXer:
I have a nexus one on android 2.2.1, when 2.2 was release i received the update pretty quickly.

However i have stayed on 2.2.1 ever since :(

With members posting OTA released of 2.3.4 im like wtf!

I have tried to install the updates manually by: update.zip on root and applying in the recovery screen - this has never worked for me, i get a verification error :(

Now im posting this in the hope that someone can help me update please!!!

Note: My n1 is not rooted and i would like it to stay like that also im only interested in updating to stock roms.

p.s. i try the *#*#2432546#*#* nearly everyday to check for updates.

p.p.s. im from the UK and am on Vodafone if that makes a difference.

Many Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Vodafone use their own tweaked version of Android, and so you have to wait for Vodafone to tweak the update before you get it...

You can use the passimg method to put a completely stock Google Android on your phone, but will lose some data doing it...

[General Questions and Answers] augenauf:
Hi everybody,

I am upgrading my Magic 32B to CyanogenMod 6 but I got stocked using the recovery mode.

typing

adb reboot recovery

in my ubuntu terminal starts the recovery screen on my HTC, while pressing "BACK" + "POWER ON" does not. Pressing "Back+ Power on" leads me to the standard FASTBOOT screen instead, from where I can't boot the recovery image. (Or I don't know how.)

Could that be a problem in the future? If so, How can I solve it? What's going wrong?

My system: bought used Magic Sapphire 32B S-ON G with Vodafone hardware and software branding (firmware 1.6; HBOOT-1.33.0013).

What I did. 1.) become root; 2.) install flash_image 3.) use flash_image with the recovery image RA-1.7G (located on sdcard)

Thanks for help!

Cheers, Florian

edit: Maybe I am not even root ?! I used the SuperOneClick-Tool but I am not sure anymore that it worked out. Use of Terminal emulator as su: "flash_image recovery ..." answered: "permission denied".

I used SuperOneClick because Downgrading to 1.5, like described in the CyanogenMod wiki, didn't work. An error saying: "Incorrect Model ID"

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sentinel79:
Is the Galaxy S 4G the same thing as the Infuse 4G? I see they both have similar specs but enough seems different for me that makes me question whether I should post here or on the Samsung Captivate threads. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Galaxy S 4G has different wireless bands than the Infuse 4G; it's more AT&T compatible than an unlocked Galaxy S 4G.

The processor is a hummingbird in both, but the Infuse runs at 1.2 rather than 1GHZ.

Infuse 4G has a better screen pixel-wise, and it's bigger by .5" i believe.

I wouldn't bet on it being much better if you're a T-Mobile customer, though if you're on AT&T it's currently the top phone to beat in speed, and Android performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
The infuse also has an 8 megapixel camera as opposed to the 5 megapixel on this phone. I would skip it though as the galaxy s 2 will be here very very soon

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
I always sell my old phones via ebay.

To get top dollar you need the box and all original accessories. Phone needs to be in good condition and preferably factory reset. If you flashed it preferably flashed back to "current" stock so that the buyer can use kies for updates if they wish.

If you search ebay and select for "completed listings" you'll find how much others have actually sold for as opposed to how much they are currently being bid up to. Approx £200 +- 15%. If you don't meet the conditions above it'll be less.

Listing and final selling fees approx 10%, plus paypal fees will make a hole in your selling price

As others have said, your paid apps are attached to your Google account so remain with you when you port your account to your new phone....they can't be sold on.

Hope this helps, good luck

I like sci-fi movies so I wanted skyline to work but I can only stomach so much. On top of the lame script and horrible acting, the casting looked like it was done by throwing darts at names. Lost my attention quick. But best alien movie I've seen lately. BATTLE LA. Hands down badass!
[Off-topic] ScumpinatoS:

[Off-topic] sfreemanoh:
I agree...Battle LA was awesome.

Skyline was just horribad, but yes, the CGI was impressive. Even though they couldn't seem to nail down the aliens size...something that was several times wider than a human shouldn't be able to fit through a normal door. >_< But the story and acting was just EXCESSIVELY bad.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
I think Battle: LA could be MUCH better. It's no where near Skyline in "OMG WTF is this", but i think it should have included elements from the real event back in 1942 (more about that here)

I think if they'd make it more like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (since it's more like the real event), it would be better. But as an action movie it works quite well. :)

Alright one more then....if you HAD to sit through one, would you rather Skyline or those Syfy channel "Movies"? Because those are movies I can't stand. I'm trying to feel my way into why I'm so "off" about this movie (as in, vs. public sentiment).

[General Questions and Answers] PoshCat1:
Hi,

I was finally able to partition my 16GB Micro SD HC Class 4 SD Card using minitools.

FAT32 at the front, Primary, and EXT2 afterwards, logical.

I can drop files onto the FAT32 partition and flash the ROM in recovery, but when I reboot it can't find the card.

If I then change the card to my old 4GB Samsung SD it is fine.

When I partitioned the 4GB card using ROM Manager, which I couldn't do with the 16GB one, it created an EXT3 partition.

Is there anything I can do, or is it simply the card?

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] PoshCat1:
As an update, I put the card in my wife's Blackberry this morning to see if that could see it and it said it wasn't formatted and did I want to? Yes I said.

I could now see it on my Desire and was able to partition it using ROM Manager.

Looking at it now, the second partition is ext3 and is primary, not logical.

I've no idea why this happened but I'm hoping it will all be fine when I flash a new ROM.
