[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
You're wrong... and have atrocious grammar.

The CPU does determine the download speed. You're confusing TRANSMISSION rate with DOWNLOAD rate.

Transmission rate is determined strictly by the strength of the connection between sender and receiver. A gigbit LAN can bounce data up and down the wire at gigbait speeds all day long. In this example your TRANSMISSION RATE is 1 GB/s. The network interface (LAN Card, WiFi NIC, etc.) is only responsible for confirming that all of the packets have arrived. Actually reassembling the thousands of packets into a coherent data stream... and then acting on that data stream...is the responsibility of the CPU.

Download rate is dependent on CPU availability and speed. When you download something (be it a single file or a complex website), the CPU is doing work to process that information. If the CPU was busy or slow it's possible that the download rate is affected. Using the previous example, if the wire is pushing data at gigbit speeds but the CPU can't process the data at gigbit speeds... your DOWNLOAD RATE is something less than 1 GB/s... despite your high transmission rate.

Regarding the OP's question: It's certainly within the realm of possibilities that you have dialed your CPU back so far it is affecting your download rate... needs more investigation and data to draw any conclusions.

tl; dr; The guy above me is wrong, OP needs to test more.

Since when do we type with perfect grammar on a forum? Az l0ngz azz i'z dontz tipes like dis...I think it's fair to say my grammars fine for the internet, and yes it's a quick summary of me basically saying, your CPU does NOT affect how fast your dowload from the server is...smh
[EVO 4G General] shagav:
CPU speed does affect download rate...so your wrong. Take a slow 500mHz cpu vs a 1Ghz, theoretically the 1Ghz can place twice the info to storage than the 500mHz can, but you also have to look at how fast your storage read and write is. You're only as fast as your weakest link. Keep that in mind

Never noticed a transfer speed difference when i underclock, u sure bout that info?
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
While I love proper grammar, I always find it funny when someone insults someone else's grammar while improperly spelling the word.

I like it when people type correctly, but I also agree with the iitreatedii - this is a forum. As long as what you're saying is understandable and shows an attempt at decency, I don't think it should be an issue.

And regarding the OP - I believe that your experience was a fluke... or possibly, like the saying goes, "time flies when you're having fun" :P

I'm not against the idea that processor speeds affect download speeds. It is possible, but I don't believe the difference would be so noticeable. However, card read/write speeds probably would make a noticeable difference. You can increase read/write speeds by changing the cache size, but this tends to affect reading more than writing.

Transfer speed != download speed

You accidentally added it. I'm on chrome and typed in "grammer" and it yields the red squiggly of check your spelling. lol
[EVO 4G General] The_mamba:
So I developed a simple experiment that I believe quickly proved that CPU speed does affect download speed. Someone else should try this method as well and post their findings....

You'll need a speed test app from the market and a way to change your CPU governor - I used speedtest.net and SetCPU. I also used a wifi connection and sat in the same spot to avoid connection discrepanices.

1.) Set your governor to conservative.

2.) Run the speed test app three times, like you would any other benchmark. Record results.

3.) Set your governor to performance, thereby ensuring that your CPU will always run at the fastest possible frequency you have set.

4.) Run the speed test app three times again. Compare with conservative governor results.

5.) Just to rule out any skepticism, roll the governor back to conservative and run the speed test one more time.

For me the difference was obvious, almost twice as fast for all three tests with the performance governor. I did some various tests with ondemand gov's and UC/OC tweaks and in all cases, higher CPU freqs meant faster downloads.

For my device anyway, it's case closed.

Yesterday I received a new firmware for my Swisscom 3G Galaxy Tab when i launched Kies.

First it asked me to update Kies, then after system reboot, it suddenly asked my if i'ld like to update to the new firmware. Anxious of getting Gingerbread, I chosen yes.

Guess what ...

No Gingerbread but Froyo 2.2.1

GT-P1000

Baseband: P1000XXJMI

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: Froyo XWJMJ

Kies did not give me any further updates after this.

So, still, no GB

I heard that firmware 2.2.1 must be installed before gingerbread can be deployed. So it is probably good that you installed it.

Now if you really want gingerbread today go to the developers section and install the Overcome rom. In its thread you'll find a great guide if followed the installation is very simple.

should i get Desire HD?

-------------------------

i want good speed and good Battery life.

htc hd2 vs htc Desire HD?????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] songokussm:
this question has been asked 100 times, but here we go.

the desire hd is faster, better battery life, and faster development for roms.

Why? its a second generation snapdragon processor and is an actual android device.

the hd2 is dirt cheap compared to the hd desire. I can buy them for around $150 usd where i live. off of contract.

the only pro to the hd2 is that i can run windows phone 7.

however, that being said i have never used the desire (not released in the usa), and i doubt the differences will be large, but they will be there.

this also might help you

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Yes it has better battery life. But better doesn't mean it's going to blow your mind. HTC isn't really concerned of the battery, so don't expect iPhone 4 results. Spead yes, but marginal at worst. Personally however, both contain "last years" specs, I'd rather get a G2X, or GS2. The sensation's out of my requirements due to its locked bootloader, along with the atrix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] giorgosfil13:
Desire HD much better! HD2 is a 2009 model.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jillora:
Yeah, if you're picking between the 2 based only on speed and battery life, then I'd think you should definitely go with the Desire. However as songokussm said, the HD2 is cheap and off contract. I paid a little more for mine($200) since I wasn't patient enough to wait for a good deal after I decided to kick by BH2 to the curb. It's also compatible with tzones (Tmobile) so my unlimited data plan is only $10 a month and that definitely effect my desire for the the HD2 rather than any of the other newer tmobile devices.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marc187:

I don't think you can go wrong with either device, the hd2 in my opinion is the best looking device and most customizable.but the desire HD is a good looking device and has more ram new processor and all that jazz.

Hi

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or know of a solution? I've searched and have found similar problems but nothing exactly like this.

I've just upgraded to Stock gingerbread using the RUU download.

I use Exchange Activesync to sync only my mail from Gmail. However, when set to 'Push' email it will go into a constant loop of syncing.

One thing I noticed, after deleting and re-setting up the account a number of times, is that it works fine until I delete emails. Once I delete, the non-stop syncing begins....

Apologies if this has been asked before-I searched, honest!

Many thanks in advance for any info.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
Do you use GMAIL or the htc mail app?

In the htc mail app, it is looping if you set the app to synchronize more than one day (3days beeing the default value)

With 1 day, it is working partially : many sync will end in error, but will succeed later.

definitively, htc isn't able to provide a stable solution for AES...

For my part, I still use the Froyo stock mail app, wich is working very well with hotmail, but unfortunately without html support. (you can easilly install it with the apk)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicvomit:
Hi

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this did not work for me.

Yes-I'm using the HTC Mail app.

I deleted the account and set it up again , reduced the syncing to one day as you suggested, but as soon as I delete any emails, it goes back into the continuous syncing loop.

Would I have to be rooted to install the Mail app from Froyo?

Thanks again!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nugget80:
I have same issue. If I setup Gmail as an exchange activesync with m.google.com it continuously syncs and sometimes authentication error, then it works fine again.

With other exchange accounts it is fine.

I prefer the Mail app over Gmail app as I prefer not to have conversation view and it will view.docx word files.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicvomit:
Yes-I prefer the Mail app. Nice clean UI. Always used to work well for me with Froyo. Giving Moxier a trial right now, Seems to work fine but a bit pricey.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftoompsh:
Same boat here.

Prefer the HTC mail app but getting sick of the constant syncing.

I'm using a custom Rom, could that be the problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
No, you can install it on unrooted phones.

BTW you are able to uninstall it like all apps later...

You'll find below the version I'm using.

If anyone has the stock 2.3 mail app, and that it is better, well I wouldn't say no...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicvomit:
I don't think having a custom rom is the culprit as I've got HTC Stock Rom on a debranded but unrooted DHD, and I've got the same issue.

By the way, as I said earlier, I have been trying out Moxier mail and it does not seem to have this syncing problem....BUT-it's a bit expensive and overkill for my needs really.

I have the same problem on a unbranded DHD after the Gingerbread update.

Has anyone sorted out a fix for this?

Does installing the 2.2 mail app solve the problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
Of course not!

But you'll have another mail app that will work with hotmail push.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicvomit:
After a lot of messing about I firstly discovered that after a short while using Moxier Male, the problem returned. However Touchdown works perfectly. Unfotunately this is a rather pricey cure for the problem. I think the reason Touchdown works for Push mail is something to do with the fact that there is an option in the Touchdown settings, to only delete emails from the phone rather than the server. Having this ticked I have had no problems at all with the constant syncing issue. As for why this should make a difference...I'm afraid someone with more technical knowledge would have to try and answer that!

why install the 2.2 htc mail app then and use it if it doesnt solve the problem (resending the deleted items and push issues) ??

i restored a froyo build of one of the roms i use and mail htc mail was working flawlessly (imap/pop3 and hotmail activesync).

the problem seems to be in gingerbread.

anyway to get over this? ideas ?

thx.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
It seems you don't understand me :

-Installing the Android mail stock app doesn't solve the problem in HTC MAIL. (of course)

But it allows you to use a mail app that does work correctly with hotmail AES. (we don't want imap/pop, do we?). I don't have any push issue with Android stock mail. It works perfectly. My only concern is that there's no html rendering.

Touchdown is able to push mail with Hotmail AES and provide html rendering, but the app is expensive, I personnaly find the interface heavy, and it only supports one AES account at the same time (I have 3).

- I had the same exact issues on Froyo. And this is why I was already using the Android stock mail app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgrover:
Well I don't know what ROM/s you were using on Froyo that had constant syncing problems with the stock HTC email app. I've never had any problems on Froyo whilst running Leedroid, ARHD or Coredroid.

The only time I have ever encountered or even heard of this problem was on Gingerbread.

I've just gone back to Leedroid 2.2.3 Froyo & this problem doesn't exist on that ROM.

I don't see any benefit to using Gingerbread on the DHD (without Sense 3), it seems like HTC have gone backwards to be fair...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsenteur:
I was using the native htc Froyo ROM.

Sync was looping on first message when using push in Hotmail (no pb with other accounts, and no pb with pop/imap). As I've seen in XDA, I was far from beeing the only one to have this issue... You can find many threads in this forum.

Anyway, I'm quite happy with google stock mail app, so I no more use the htc's one.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgrover:
Ah that must be why I've never come across it on Froyo, as I use Gmail & not Hotmail.

Point is, it's a workaround.
