Lol, there is no _total_!

1GHz is the frequency that the CPU core clock runs at, they all run the same, on the same clock, 1 core, 2 cores, ten cores.

You need to understand this concept that "total" doesn't apply here.

This is not "1GHz per core", the core clock frequency is 1GHz, and there are two cores, they BOTH run at 1GHz.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
This is the first dual core I've had, and I don't know much about the technology.

What's the difference between a dual core cpu running @ 1GHz and a single core running @ 2 GHz?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
2 cores both running at 1ghz still equals 1ghz...1 core running at 2ghz equals 2ghz.

Lets try this:

If two cars are both going down the road at 60mph, how long does it take them to go 60 miles? Even though there is 2 of them, both running the same speed, it still takes 1 hour. Hope this helps you understand.
[Xoom General] deepducky:
Am I right in believing that with two 1ghz cores, there would be no benefit in speed unless the app or OS were specifically designed to utilize both cores? My understanding was that if you had two 1ghz cores, and the app was programmed to utilize both cores, each core would handle it's own load. Is this wrong?

Does two 1ghz cores truly equal 2x the speed if the app is programmed to use both?
[Xoom General] ydaraishy:
No, it depends on the application's workload more rather than the programming. If the application can split its workload into parts that can be done in parallel, you get a speed increase. However, if the application relies completely on having to have one part that cannot be broken up into parallel-running parts, then you will get absolutely no benefit from a multiple-core processor.

Mostly, dual-core processors are about *efficiency* rather than *speed*. Here's a good analogy. It's about being able to walk and chew gum at the same time, rather than having to walk a bit, stop, chew gum for a bit, stop, walk a bit more, stop, etc.
[Xoom General] mutiny:
In addition, to that analogy, consider the saying "two headsbare better than one." When you have two devs working together, they can get through their to-do list quicker and more efficiently than one dev doing everything alone.

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.

It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.

It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tolymatev:
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] k_nivesout:
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.

Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

What exactly is overclocking and what does it do? Sorry for the noob question
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] SteveG12543:
Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.0.3.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AMarsden:
Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Juls317:
Does it harm your phone in any way?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Maddog2550:
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 20twins10:
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cstrife999:
Ha ha my thoughts exactly. Honestly if you want a great battery and stability go with the Iphone 4, but if you want your phone to do more and are big on functionality and don't want to be tied down thunderbolt. Honestly thus far my TB is my favorite phone. Sure battery life isn't great, but I'm never really in a place I can't charge it...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlojoMojo:
i honestly love my TB. never really did like the iphone... can't really customize it to your likings, sure you can jailbreak it, but there's only so much that you can do to make it your "own." but to each their own.

I'm there with ya. Bought the iphone when it was released on Verizon and it was returned in the 14 days. It just doesn't compare.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidholic:
Tried the iPhone briefly but it just didn't come close to the level of customization that the TB and other Android phones has... even for basic options like the GPS. For example, when I asked a friend if he could choose the type of GPS he wanted for Google Maps, he said no.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remmbermytitans:
Simply put. No.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notstevek:
honestly I came from AT&T iPhone 3GS, I've had more network problems (no lte/3g), my GPS takes about 10 minutes to load, and the battery life sucks.

though I still love the thunderbolt. I'll probably go back to the iPhone 5 when that comes out (inb4 steve jobs controls you) the only thing I notice from jailbreaking iOS compared to rooting android is overclocking. Jailbreaking you can do EVERYTHING else. Full themes, boot logo, remove what you don't want, hell you can even run android on iPhone. Overclocking is the only thing android has on the iPhone.

It's personal opinion, this is a android fanboy site so they're gonna argue... I like both phones. I could have gotten the iPhone 4 but I got the thunderbolt, either way I would have been happy.

Oh P.S., please argue about my post half of you don't even run a *nix based system but are all about DROID OS, but use Windows. Use a real *nix based system then look at droid. Much different. Only people I give props to is CM7 team for developing from ASOP source.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notstevek:
Flash on iPhone = Frash

Widgets, notifications = can be done with jailbreak, i have both on my 3GS still

and not all people need those, the only thing you got me on is battery.. i haven't taken out or even used more then a gig on my sdcard, plus carrying around an sdcard seems annoying..

it's all personal opinion really... my thunderbolt is sick like i said i could have got the iphone 4, and i'm 100% happy with the purchase but neither one is the best, both have pro/cons.

and open source, unless your building your own arch systems don't bother throwing that out there, you're probably using windows...

[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
Azrienoch, the podcast should also pick up the viewing count and any description added to the files, so such information is always good, particularly links.

I just hope that we can get the update process sorted out so you guys can do your encoding and then update the podcast without any effort on your part. I'm not sure what we need to do to submit the podcast to iTunes etc, but I am reluctant to do so until the podcast is updated promptly (I guess I could open it up for other users to upload the videos instead, but that creates other issues).

At the moment, there will be a two week gap in updates as I won't be able to do it until the end of the month.

There are still some adjustments I want to make to it (icon, description etc), so if you guys want anything altered or changed then let me know. Most parts are adjustable (I've noticed that meltwater is in the copywrite bit - it only showed up on my GoogleReader, I'll remove it when I can - it is because I'm using my FeedBurner version of the youTube feed to get around my access issues...which I setup a while back).

If we want to move it to a common account or something then it will have no effect on the podcast link itself (as you just update feedburner account). Also we can set-up a common feedburner account too if you guys want to view the stats.

As of Today, the stats are: 896 views of 34 items

If only youtube would re-enable the rss feeds directly and then the podcast would also count on the viewing count too. I can also add a podcast item about subscribing to the channel too, but not everyone wants to use data-plans to access content on the go.
[XDA Developer TV] ChadHughes:
A better line of communication with the news team and owners/maintainers of the site wouldn't hurt, either. At the present time it's like a 5 story office building, and the door is locked to each floor, so you have to call and request it to be opened over intercom.
[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
Today's stats are: 1,446 views of 34 items

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SGTShark:
I have been searching around trying to find a way to get some of the older Android 2.1 Galaxy S LWP's to work on the Atrix. Particularly the Ocean Waves with the ripple effect.

For some reason these LWP's don't actually manage to load or for that matter get past the "Loading Live Wallpaper" screen.

From a bit of searching around it looks like a few things are wrong or just not optimized for our phone. Either the resolutions are all wrong or the Atrix is missing some library files to make things happen, maybe the "libmnglw-0.8.2.so" and the "liblwfa-0.A.2-mng-p1.so". I'm pretty sure the need to be pushed to the system/lib folder.

I have attached all I have from some searching the web trying to get answers, and was wondering if someone might have the time to look through them and find out why they may not be working on the phone? The library files are in the "Live Wallpapers.zip". I have attached a little test try that i attempted to put together hoping to figure this out "TestOceanWaves.apk". A crude effort at changing the image resolution and some resolutions in the files themselves. The rest is just apk's to pull data from.

I did manage to get the lib files into the correct directors and changed the permissions to match the files in that directory but so far a no go. Hopefully someone might be able to find the time to use software I most likely don't have to play with these and get something working. Fingers crossed. From a little bit of research these might actually be sought after on the Atrix

Thanks for any and all help.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrystalCastle:
Hi all,

Hope someone can help, I have a desire HD that has some issues.

Long story short the phone was acting up and was flashed with a non official ROM. It was working originally but after about a week it started acting up, with apps force closing, phone crashing altogether etc.

I am trying to get the phone back to a state that Vodafone in Australia will be able to warranty the phone in.

The current situation is that when the phone turns on, it'll load straight to the bootloader/hboot. Recovery mode does not work - it dumps you in to fastboot menu and fails to load.

System restore from boot menu does not work either, and there is no rom at all so USB debugging is a no go, and there appears to be no way to flash the ROM.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

ei crystal!! has you tested with FASTBOOT COMMANDER? if you download it you can flash a new recovery from this tool... its intuitive...

you only must to download the tool

download the recovery (lastest CWM in the DHD android development forum)

put the file in the paragraph that says "RECOVERY:not file set" and then push FLASH IT"".maybe you enjoy...

But this does depend on you having previously ticked USB Debugging option before you had all these problems (no way to check now without being able to boot the phone).

If this fails you may have to try the previous suggestion of putting a PD98IMG on your sdcard then going into fastboot on the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrystalCastle:
Currently there is no Rom on the Phone. Just put PD98IMG.zip on the SD card which seems to be updating. Does it normally take a while to Update all the Sections?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrystalCastle:
Seems to be taking ages to even get past [1]. Is that normal? Hasn't done anything. It says "Updating" yet I'm still yet to see it get past "[1] BOOTLOADER"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Just to confirm...

1. Turn phone off

2. Put PD98IMG file onto ROOT of sd card

3. Use vol- and power button to get to Fastboot

4. Scroll and select Bootloader (HBOOT)

(might automatically do last step when you boot phone)

Phone will show a message to say it is looking for the file then unpack it and install.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrystalCastle:
Confirmed dude. Doesn't seem to be doing much though. It has been stuck on "updating BOOTLOADER". It has trying to update it for more then 30mins now :rolleyes:

Have you got another SD card you can try? If not, reformat the current one and put the PD98IMG file on it again and try again.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
!!!???!!!

Damn. Do you just get the orange flashing light when you try to turn the phone on?

Take out SD Card and try.

If nothing works the bright side is you can send it to HTC and say "I woke up, turned it on and it's dead". Chances are they'll never be able to tell how it happened.

Many people did this when the Clockwork recovery bug bricked loads of phones.

Sorry but stay positive. Always a sliver lining.

Okay, so I've been reading about the issues people are having with "comm rom" and "Evil Fascinate" and how they're affecting data somehow. I don't understand it. I thought the radio handled the data part. Is there a part of the rom that deals with the data itself? Can someone give me some insight on this? I've looked through the files, but can't find anything. I'm not having any problems at all with either if these roms, not with data at all, I'm just trying to figure out why people are blaming the roms. Thanks in advanced.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
The roms don't affect data much, if at all. Radio hardware, radio firmware, weather, cell signal, cell tower, geography, topography, man made structures, population density, and solar activity on the other hand can and will affect data.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lane32x:
Don't forget all the people who were having troubles with the network at exactly the same time recently, which seemed to be more of a coincidence than a problem with the rom itself.

Got an Incredible 2 a few days ago. So far so good *except* the antenna seems weak compared to my original Moto Droid1. With my original droid i almost always had 4 bars at home, in office, etc. With this phone im lucky to get 3 bars, often only 1 or 2. Anyone else have this issue?
