[Galaxy S II General] _dsk_:
lol, you guys are very defensive about your phones, understandably.

What you should be able to ascertain though is that the 1Ghz Mali benchmarks are decent and you can expect better performance with it clocked at 1.2Ghz.

Conversely you should be able to see that the Adreno at 1.5Ghz, though impressive, will be less so clocked at 1Ghz like in the Sensation, which will also have a higher resolution screen.

I only provided the links so that people could make up their own mind by using the same logic.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Are you sure the Mali-400 is clocked at 1.2Ghz ?

Because when I overclocked my SGS2 to 1.5Ghz I saw a 25% performance increase in computing performance, but almost no increase at all in graphics performance (using GL Benchmark), so I thought the frequencies of the two were totally unrelated.
[Galaxy S II General] _dsk_:
I dont know what the clock speeds of the GPU are, but CPU speed bumps will also help with 3D performance.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Well in my case it did not. I guess a dual core 1.2Ghz CPU is not a bottleneck on a smartphone lol.
[Galaxy S II General] _dsk_:
Ive heard there are FPS caps on the Galaxy line, not sure how true this is, usually benchmarks should see an increase when handsets are overclocked.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
its true for the sgs1 and 2 at least, frame rate is capped between 56 and 66 fps depending on kernels/versions etc

many benchmarks hit the cap (like quadrant)

Coming from HTC Desire i'm pretty confused about the fact that there is no moded recovery like Clockworkmod yet...

Will we be able to flash updates without a pc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uvaavu:
Confused?

It's been out for 2 weeks and there are stock shortages all over. I think you're expecting a bit much so early (though I ahve no doubt that its being worked on, the chances of anyone giving you an ETA are zero).

[Xperia Play General] Deblow:
used the update now option on my play again today and its now saying there's a new Sony Ericsson update, please go to sonyericsson.com/update

and use a PC to update :cool:

you need to go to

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...etailed/updateservice/xperia-play?cc=gb&lc=en

download the update tool.

the play update is 172.5MB

old Build - 3.0.A.2.181

new Build - 3.0.A.2.184

Orange UK play
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
the generic ones are already on 184 yours will be customized our small update was about 16mb i think
[Xperia Play General] Deblow:
after messing on some games, Backstab & Asphalt

I'm sure there running a lot better with more FPS especially Backstab

BTW Waz, do you know if I'm safe to root my play?

its sim locked to orange but no orange logo on the back like there was on my desire

Thx
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
yeah though the safest way (same way im doing it) is with gingerbrick, leave the bootloader locked and just root it that way.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
I already had that version when got my play :P
[Xperia Play General] xchaotiKittenx:
hey were you guys rooted when you did the update? I've rooted with gingerbreak and I just want to make sure it's safe to do the update while rooted...bootloader is still locked!

thanks!
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
as long as your bootloader is locked and you rooted with gingerbrick your ok to update
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
What were the changes from xx.181 to xx.184? I updated mine but not noticed anything apart from a bit more slowdown? :confused:
[Xperia Play General] illuminerdi:
Does this update block gingerbreak in any way? I'm not rooted yet, and I don't want to lose the ability to root (just haven't had the time to root it yet) after doing this update.
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
no it doesn't :)
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
What if you used Titanium Backup or some other freeze program to freeze apps like Timescape and other bloatware. Do they need to all be restored before the update?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
@waz can you still boot after using gingerbrick :p

And who makes such an app anyways :confused:

I would go for gingerbreak lol ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Lol doh! I knew what I meant
[Xperia Play General] jlukek89:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangdrum:
Ever since the ed01 release, no apps are able to unlock the screen. I'm pretty sure it worked on ec01 but I may be wrong. It's rather frustrating that I paid for some Apps and can no longer use them or all there features. Example: widget locker, power amp lockscreen, go sms pop up. It would be awesome if there were a mod or something to allow this. Hope someone can put together a resolution. (I have no idea how :))
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:

My phone does not connect to Samsung Kies via USB. I get the message:

How do I put this phone into Samsung Kies Mode?

It was doing this when I first got my phone then the other day it suddenly started working perfectly somehow, now I am getting this message again.

EDIT: [Solved] You have to disable USB debugging mode in order to connect to Kies.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfive420:
I had the same problem for days with my desktop running vista 32. I must have removed and reinstalled kies and/or the samsung drivers in every permutation possible. Finally got it working by using a 2nd PC, my laptop. I installed kies on the laptop (also vista 32) and the connection worked on the first shot, so then I went back to my desktop and updated all the drivers for my SGS2 manually. When windows asked for a path to search for my drivers, I pointed it to the laptop's C drive inside of the Windows\System32 folder. The desktop apparently grabbed whatever the best drivers were from the laptop and I was off and running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reddykcn:
Settings->wireless and network->USB Settings and enable the Samasung Kies..

So dumb that we have to search and find options our self..Samsung is too stupid to provide the detailed explanation of issues and solutions...!

I do not have an option anywhere to enable kies on my phone :( running checkrom revolution 2.0 and hardcore speedmod kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zippy Dufus:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S from Bell and do not have this option either.

Also, Kies only sees the device when the USB debugging is turned on but gives the "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. ..."

So far, no luck and I'm stumped.

I've tried:

Rebooting laptop after Kies install

Disabling Symantic firewall

Rebooting phone

Connecting when phone is turned off - Kies does not see the device

Connecting with USB debugging turned off - Kies does not see the device

Verified that no apps are running (but a number of services are running)

Kies connection troubleshooting which reinstalls the drivers (this takes a LONG time!)

Details:

Model number: GT-I9000M

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: I9000UGJH2

Kernel version: 2.6.29 darae.ahn@sep-20 #2

Build number: ECLAIR.UGJH2

Kies version: 2.1.0.11095_121

______________________________________________________________________

UPDATE:

On my model, the Kies option is buried down Settings->About Phone->USB Settings->Samsung Kies.

Turning this on did the trick after some "twiddling" (turning on off, backing out and in and watching Kies/Windoze update the drivers).

I seem to be good-to-go. Hope this helps others.

I've successfully upgraded the firmware after disabling USB debugging. Make sure you have more than 3gb space on hard disk. It took about 30min (download firmware, extract binary, download to device, etc). The device automatically rebooted, just wait for a few minutes and the reboot took about a minute to display lock screen. Disconnect the USB cable and you're all done. I updated from kj2 to kl3. Thanks again for the help.

As already stated Gameloft make some nice looking games. My personal faves are:

Galaxy on Fire 2 - Tegra 2 version using Chainfire (sad we need to use Chainfire)

Order & Chaos

Dungeon Defenders

A little off topic - It's pretty sad we so much fragmentation in the Android gaming space with developers signing deals with phone makers/chipsets. Thankfully, we have guys like Chainfire but I can see why Apple mobile gaming may be the future.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bisoner:
Gameloft released a version of Nova 2 which doesn't need Chainfire 3D.

Go to the gameloft site from your mobile - it should be there.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MrHome:
was your phone tampered in anyway? Maybe the developer used the market's copy protection

It's not showing on my market, is it region specific or something?

Also can I use it on my phone, not sure if I have tegra or not.
