In single player my game is smooth. But in multiplayer it is not. This is an issue with a lot of games out there, and it happens do to the network coding in the game and it being crappy and sucking up a ton of CPU time. A PC game from 7 years ago could play upto 150 people in a single map, but once 60 people got on everyone complained that the game played horribly and the frame rate sucked, but play with 20 people and it was nice and smooth. This has been an issue for lots of games for a long time, and was one of the primary reasons LAN parties came about, better and smoother graphics from a local 1gig lan compared to the internet and lagginess because the CPU didn't have to work as hard with the network code.

Try playing a multiplayer VIA WIFI with both people on the same WIFI and see if that makes a difference.

I'd like to have twelve icons of the programs I use the most often on a page in launcher pro, but I'm not sure what the twelve apps I use the most are.

Is there some way to automatically log which apps I run for a week?
[Android Software Development] ekstelis@comcast.net:
Yes.... its an app called app tracker... I havea few others msg me for links
[Android Software Development] rogier666:
Tracking your app usage is built into your phone. Dial [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]*#*#4636#*#* and tap "usage statistics." You can sort by launch count and run time. For figuring out what to add to your home screen the launch count stats are more useful than the running time.

Not entirely sure how many of these are Android users with or without tether, and how many are mifi users on PC, but look at how many folks downloaded one single movie, the Expendables! According to this federal lawsuit, between February and April, 326.

Wow, that's pushing a lot of data through the 3G network!

so lame - netflix is 10$ a month and you dont get sued over a stupid movie - or blockbuster (now with games for ps3, xbox, or wii) for 20 a month. Just not worth it.
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
Actually to go one better Netflix is $7.99 for the instant stream only account. Granted there is a lag time from new movie release until stream but then you also have the $10 and up plans for DVD's on release.
[EVO 4G General] jefbal99:

is there a mobile peerblock?
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
Peerblock does nothing. The trackers still show your ip if your using a public tracker. Your gonna need to be alot more secure than just peerguardian etc.
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
Does it really matter anymore? I fully expect this entire case to be thrown out on the grounds that there is now precedent. A federal appeals court just last week said that an IP =/= a person. You can't prove that a specific person downloaded a movie based on evidence that an IP downloaded it. There can be multiple computers or other devices on one IP. These devices can be known, in a case where one's household PCs are hooked up to the same wireless router, and unknown, where one runs an open wi-fi and there are neighbors that piggyback on the service.

If I were to ever get one of those notices from an attorney I would send back a letter telling them to go pound pavement.
[EVO 4G General] mordbane:
The lawsuit won't stand, but the effect of people using bit torrent over 3G is more damaging. Just means more tiers and less true unlimited plans. Right now a MIFI contract is a pretty good deal, but if a few users hog all the bandwidth, carriers are going to make it more expensive for everyone.

- change your mac address on your wireless router.

- release/renew wan IP from router admin page.

- mfw they cant tie old wan ip to your router anymore
[EVO 4G General] Telperion:
True, but they have historical data tying your IP to your router to your account. Whether that is sufficient legal proof to tie to a person is up for debate though.
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
Really unless a user has a static IP or the carriers keep a list of all IP's assigned to users then we will see A LOT of truly innocent people being taken to court for having a dynamic IP set up through their providers.

I run my own website and can bring up all the IP addresses I have used to log in and they number in the hundreds from a single provider and I'm sure I'm not the only one on the net with this.

Wait and see what happens when G-ma and G-pa get summoned to court for piracy of a movie they don't even know anything about because their IP is dynamic and has changed to one on the list.

Oh and for those who are worried and don't want to wade through the list of IP's just find the files date on your HDD and use Acrobate Reader to search the date cause browser search does not work in Acrobat.

[G Tablet General] cesar33:
Android benchmarking app Quadrant Standard gives a raw score, but I'd like to see the breakdown of each section of the test. I know, "stop being cheap and buy the app!"

Dual core vs Single core 1 Ghz tablet CPU war!

The contenders:

Viewsonic G Tablet running CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread 2.3 scored = 1826

Motorola Droid X running Verizon stock Froyo 2.2 = 1353

This proves that the Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core process running at 1 Ghz is actually pulling its load.

The Droid X runs the Texas Instrument single core OMAP 3630, the same CPU as the B&N Color Nook (800mhz) and most of the Archos tablets.

tabletuser.blogspot
[G Tablet General] FreaKaDroidXYZ:
My benchmark scores

Thanks for posting these as I have both the DX & the Gtab. :)

I have the GB on the DX and I regularly get ~1800 without OC'ing. Of course I have the Gtab OC'd to 1.4GHz which gives me even higher #.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
I HATE when people put out benchmarks on graphs with such a biased look to them. The graph doesn't start at "0" in that picture, it starts at 1200. In which case, the Droid X only goes a couple hundred points above the starting line. That makes the Gtab look SOOOO much faster just by looking at the bars on the graph, when in fact it's not twice as fast, it's only a few hundred points extra.

Really bad practice if you ask me.
[G Tablet General] zack407:
It does not matter where the bars start. The fact is the GTab with stock kernal is still better than the Droid X. It does look skewed but it would look the same even if it started at 0. :)
[G Tablet General] Citi:
Droidx is clocked at 1ghz not 800ghz as the Nook Color, they have different chips. Same company doesn't mean same chip, look at model numbers :)

Droidx - TI OMAP3630 at 1Ghz

Nook Color -TI OMAP3621 at 800Ghz

Both CPUs are ARM Cortex-A8 though

Two, why compare apples and oranges? Duel core vs single? Tablet vs phone?

Three, my Droidx hits 1600 with stock non-rooted 2.3.3 :)

edit* 1646 to be exact, and i'm sure this will be higher once the official update its available next week.
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
Tostinuts,

Considering both devices are 1Ghz in speed, we must all agree that a 35% difference in performance is HUGE. Consider price difference when you purchase desktop CPU.

Newegg prices, rounded for your pleasure.

Intel Core i9-970 @ 3.20 Ghz $600

Intel Core i9-974 @ 3.33 Ghz $1000

So I'm paying $400 extra and the cpu frequency is only 133mhz higher? Gtab cpu is no joke, graph proves it.

NOW instead of HATING, why don't your post something relevant we can appreciate as forum tablets readers?!
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
Citi,

Thanks for the update on cpu info. I only have the Droid X and G tablet and its really not a comparison, I agree. I did like the see the difference in how the same browsers perform with 1 Ghz cpus. I am look forward to Droid developing a dual core phone. Right now for the price I think the Gtab is awesome, just like I think my Droid X is awesome. Based on your scores I need to update my Droid X to 2.3 Gingerbread since I'm still on stock 2.2.1 Froyo.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
Maybe stock kernal but not stock rom, so it's about as 'stock' as stock car racing. :) If this test was done with OEM TnT the results may not be as impressive, and if the Droid X were running a custom ROM it might have a better showing.

I agree that the performance advantage is impressive.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
You are not making an intelligent argument at all sir. Thanks for the dig at my name by the way, very mature.

First of all, what the heck is an "i9" cpu? Do you mean Core i7?

And the reason Intel can price their chips at whatever the hell they want to! They have ALWAYS marketed their "top of the line" chip at the $1000 price point, and it doesn't matter if a newer gen mid-range chip, that is faster than the old top of the line is released, it will still stay near that $1000 price point.

How this is relevant to the benchmarks you were showing... I have no idea. 35% difference isn't huge at all, it is two different generation chips and there will be a difference in performance.

By the way, I don't care what any of you say about this matter, benchmark charts done in that way are misleading, and are often used (by hardware review sites) to support whoever their bias is. It is just bad practice.

In conclusion, you are an a-hole, go eff yourself.

-Tostinuts
[G Tablet General] caveritt:
Hate to throw my hat in the ring on such a hot topic, but my DX hits around 2000 on quad pretty consistently. It is as stock as the G Tab in the above comparison. It is running the GB leak with an overclock set at 1.2GHz. Video comparison is no where close as the G Tab blows it out of the water. Can't wait to see the quad scores on the DX2.
[G Tablet General] weaselman:
My gtab overclocked to 1500 just got a score of 2608
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
Tostino,

Thanks for the correction on i7. Considering the operating system, and application are the same then its fair to compare CPU.

10" tablets running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2

7" tablets running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2

mobile phones running the TI OMAP 3630 vs the NVIDIA Tegra2

I would believe the CPU scores would be inline with each other and screen size wouldn't be as relevant to CPU score.

My hard earned money says buy the Tegra2 CPU tablet/device. I'm sure that you can conclude that from the chart, even a visually bias chart.

Performance comparison between competing chips is a staple to hardware reviews. AMD vs Intel

so...

TI vs Nvidia

Again, do you have anything intelligent to offer this forum, or just here to hate?
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
Sweet! How stable is it overclocked? My Droid X wasn't stable and couldn't benchmark about 1,200.
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
LINPACK for Android

Viewsonic Gtablet MFLOPS 36.529

Motorola DroidX MFLOPS 13.836

Precision on both 2.22...

Viewsonic G Tablet scores aren't listed on website, post your scores. I'm running CM7.0.0-Harmony aka 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
Oh no, I am not saying that the TI chip is in any way a better buy. I completely agree that as of right now, Tegra 2 is where it's at (well, maybe Samsung's new chip has it beat, but I haven't seen any benchmarks so far). I was just voicing my opinion on charts with bias. It wasn't hate, it was an opinion which I voiced clearly, and without taking your character into question.

Btw: 3446 on quadrant and 53 mflops in linpack running BC @1.5 (using libsqlite.so mod)

First this is the ROM I am talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790066

I have been trying to flash this ROM onto my HTC Droid Incredible, but I repeatedly get an error. Here is the error:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

I am currently using ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8. I did some looking around and found that I may need to downgrade. How will I do this and which recovery do I downgrade to for this ROM to flash to my HTC Incredible.

Put this file on your SD card, (http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-inc.zip )and flash it in ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8 and it will temporarily downgrade you to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7. Just flash your ROM in that recovery. Just be aware that this version of ClockworkMod will only be temporary. It will go back to 3.0.0.8 next time you boot the device into recovery. Hope this helps and if you have any questions just ask :)

Do I go into ClockWorkMod Recovery and flash this by flashing and alternate recovery or do I have to do it in the ClockWorkMod menu by holding power and the volume up button? If i have to do it in the menu how would i do that?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcllcr:
Hello everyone,

I was just curious how all these gingerbread ROMs for the Captivate are being released, and Cyanogen 2.3 for the Capitivate, having been worked on for months, is still only in pre-beta. I am not trying to be impatient, I know the devs are working hard to get cyanogen out ASAP, I was just curious why this was.

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopo01:
simply put CM7 is being written and developed from "scratch" and the jvb jvh roms are ported.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betadan:
Not to mention that the CM7 for captivate is running 2.3.4 so technically "we're" behind CM7
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Not for long :) Most of the Devs are already working on JVH ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
AOSP is the way to go in the long run as more Samsung drivers get ported over. 2.4.x will probably never be ported to the Galaxy S phones by Samsung, but unless there are major kernel changes, upgrading CyanogenMod to 2.4 will happen relatively quickly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcllcr:
I see, so once it is caught up with the other cyanogen supported phones, it will be on the same update cycle, and therefore be more sustainable when it comes to new releases of android?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Frankly cm7 is actually being developed, where as the other ginger bread releases are being cooked/tweaked. Samsung did 80% of the work then xcal kicked in the next 15%.

So to answer your question, the reason it is "behind" is because they are not using a pre optimized build, and they are developing from the ground up.

Lockscreen

Hmmmmm, that is a good question... Unfortunately without un-stocking yourself I can't help you, BUT I do strongly suggest you get your hands dirty. There is so much to be obtained, so many things to be taken advantage of with all the great minds on xda. With just a root and a nice rom you can get any of hundreds of themes. Comm Rom1.3 is nothing short of awesome sauce.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlim4:
there's an app called No Lock that i think i used to use before i rooted... i thought it was called Unlock, but in the market it's the same icon as "No Lock" and it looks like the app i used to use.

It works as advertised, no more, no less.

You can pay for Widgetlocker, it's a pretty neat app... although if you rooted and put on the new Community Rom, the TSM lock is pretty much the same thing

Hi all I'm on my bone stock Nexus S 4G. Trying to tether via wifi hot spot or Usb and cant seem to stay online or even keep a 4G signal. When online I'm not even running at 3G speeds. My 4G icon on the notification bar is grey ATM and 3g is lit up. seems to go back and forth. even just left on 3g dosent have any speed at all online. I can go online via usb and easy tether apk everything seems to be perfect 4G and 3G.

With that said I can light up my epic4G and lock 4G and fly online any ideas on what gives?

Thanks, by the way love the new Nexus but I really need this to work, as my wife is to be getting my Epic Tomorrow. Thanks alot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
I think for the stock hotspot to work you will need the Tethering feature added to your Sprint Account. Dont quote me on that because I dont have the tethering feature on my account to test that theory.

What worked for me though was to root the phone and then install WiFi tether either from the Android Market or you can google the APK

After you gain root and install wifi tether, just turn on 4G and get a stable connection and then setup and turn on WiFi tether which will create a AdHoc connection that other Wifi devices will then beable to see and youll be good to go.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paleryder:
Thanks, with our new NS4G the sprint hotspot does work despite the fact that we do not pay for the add on. With that said I can post and creep online but for streaming vid or anything that requires 3G/4G speed isnt going to happen. I was hoping to see if anyone els had experienced this issue or is on the hotspot and able to run any type of speed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
Every time I run the hot spot app built into the OS, my connection is dissabled. I take it thats because I dont have the feature on my account which cost like $25-$30

So just root and use wifi tether and that provides the exact same thing as the hotspot built in to the OS.
