well on paper a class 10 card writes @10mbps and usually it reads double that

a class 6 card writes @6mbps and reads usually double that

so when a games loads it would load it faster on the class 10 than it would on a class 6 or a 4 or 2 etc

games should not lag because of what class card you have in beacuse the games dont use the card alot untill they need to load a new level or stage etc
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
exactly what memory is it loaded into :confused: a ps1 game is 700mb+ and there is no nand partition big enough we dont even have that much total ram
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
just ordered a 32gb class 10. will give it a go and let you know.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
when the emulators access's the sd card to load data, it does this intermittently, just like a ps1 would, so how well games run off the card has alot to do with the RDA (Random data access) of that particular card, now although higher class have a higher r/w speed than lower class card, the random access is usually slower, leading to higher load times and maybe lag :)
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
well obviously it doesnt load the whole game in one go

if it could do that then u wouldnt get "loading please wait" in between completing levels now would you
[Xperia Play General] neptune:
If anyone cares here is a link from Microsoft that explains the relation to a memory card's class and's its random access speed.

[Nexus S Android Development] ballerx43:
There is a thread in the Q&A section regarding slow data speeds on the Nexus S 4G. Coming from an Evo running CM7 we all had slow data speeds also, however there is an easy fix for it.

*****YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED DEVICE FOR THIS TO WORK*****

This only works on Sprint Nexus S 4G's as far as I know. Those with the GSM variant may test this and post their findings.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.

What's required?

Rooted Nexus S 4G (Sprint)

Root Explorer

30 seconds of time

Speedtest app for your own results.

**5/26/2011: UPDATED METHOD**

Here is a link to the edited HOSTS file. Use Root Explorer or ADB to transfer it to your device.

http://db.tt/fMVteAE

Move it to the /system/etc folder

1. Download the Speedtest app from the market and run a test over 3G, take a screen snapshot.

2. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/etc and in there you will find a file called "hosts"

3. Long-press on the "hosts" file and click "Edit with text editor"

4. You will see "127.0.0.0 localhost" change that to "0.0.0.0 localhost"

5. Press menu>save & exit.

6. Restart your phone.

7. Run Speedtest app again and screen snapshot your results and post them for everyone to see!

*Optionally you can visit a speed testing website.

I will update the OP with before and after pictures of my own!

Troubleshooting: Upon clicking "Save & Exit" it will save a backup copg of your hosts file as "hosts.bak" if you have any issues, delete your "hosts" file and rename "hosts.bak" to "hosts" and restart your phone. Otherwise, post them here and I will address them.

[Nexus S Android Development] irev210:
It's not. It's something with the speedtest.net app.

I can run the speedtest.net app on my nexus all day long and get about 3-4mbit max but I can tether my nexus and get 12mbit+ over 4G all day long.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Ever heard of sarcasm? :rolleyes:

Could just make it more clear in the post.
[Nexus S Android Development] raiderep:
I agree, I was tethering last night and getting 10+ which is fine by me. Another thing I've noticed about the speedtest app is that it picks the closest server and not always the best one. I switched to a few that were only 50 to 100 kms further away and got faster results this way.

Keep in mind this is only a way to try and get better results, your actual speeds aren't going to be effected...

I have a Tmobile HD7 and hasn't done any update since the original ROM.

It is jailbroken with unlimitted sideload possibility. Now if I update it to Nodo:

1- do I loose the apps already installed? Can it be jalbroken again?

2- Does the new update provide any support for arabic? All I need is the ablity to read websites, emails or sms in arabic no need for typing or an arabic keyboard. If not what are the main advantages of Nodo to original one?

thanks.

Someone asked me how to do a battery mod in a PM, so I thought I'd share with everyone.

It's a pretty simple process:

Go to UOT kitchen:

http://uot.dakra.lt/

Click Kitchen, then Battery.

For my chosen battery, the only option I change on the battery page is Hybrid under 'Changing Animation'

Click 'generate preview', don't skip that step!

After the preview is generated, click the 'File Upload' tab, then click 'System files'. Upload your deodexed framework-res.apk that contains all of the other mods that you want the battery added to.

After the upload is complete, click the 'Summary' tab. If the battery mod shows as green, click the 'Submit work to kitchen' button, and go have a beverage while it cooks your mod.

Download the cooked zip, flash with CWM and enjoy!

Much more info is available in the official UOT kitchen thread:

Only problem for me is that the stock gingerbread battery is not there. There is a look alike, but when flashed it is not the same as the stock GB one. To see the difference, compare battery of SGS II Clone and Galaxy Extreme.

SGS II has the look alike, while Galaxy Extreme has the true GB.

OP, you should tell people to post their resulting zips in this thread, or my thread to conserve UOT server resources. It's down almost constantly, and a lot of us have similar tastes. Tell people NOT to make a new thread, but make sure their posts in this thread follow a clear style that can be sought out by the search engine.

Also it should be noted that if the framework and systemUI weren't compiled properly it will fail in UOT everytime.

Seems like some bad logic... They don't want you renting a movie if your phone is rooted, since you might pirate it.

What he said. Movie studios and record companies are a money grabbing greedy lot who will do anything to continue filling their pockets.
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
I highly doubt this is Google. It goes against their ENTIRE WAY of thinking/operating.

Google don't encourage rooting, but they certainly don't condemn it - because that's one of the joys of open source development.

Google "making" this decision is like Apple, forgetting to patent one of it's products/possible products...and we all know that will never happen! :p

As (below/above/previous post said) it has to be legalities with the studio companies.
[Galaxy S II General] Brut.all:
I don't think it's possible to detect you're rooted. If you have root, you have full control over your OS, so you can make some app think it's installed on non-rooted device. No problem, really.
[Galaxy S II General] LancerV:
It's pretty easy to detect root actually
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
mehh, someone will find a loop-hole! :p
[Galaxy S II General] Brut.all:
It's easy to detect root if OS will let you detect it ;-) E.g. you could look for "su" command or Superuser.apk, but it should be possible to hide them for specific app. Also it should be possible to crack an app, so it won't look for root at all.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Yeah. I'm also sure you could move su to another name, and refactor Superuser.apk to use another app name. Then you could create a symlink for su to the new binary, and use a service or daemon to remove it when a particular event occurs.

Or, they could simply be checking ro.secure, which is set in the initramfs...

Even if i go to file view > artists, some albums are named twice!

[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
I look at some forums on how to do it and I'm pretty positive I can do it. But what exactly are the risks?

Is there a chance of brick?

Will I lose data?

Is it even a necessary upgrade?
[Captivate General] slow_DC4:
Yes, there is a chance for a brick but that is rather minimal. It's the same risk that you take each time you use ODIN one click to return to stock.

Before you flash be sure to do a backup using TiBu for your apps and I use "export to external SD card" for my contacts.

Necessary upgrade? That is all up to you to decide. I did it because I wanted something new.
[Captivate General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
1.Of coarse there is a chance of a brick. Anytime you flash your device there is a potential of something going wrong. Doesn't happen that often, but it does happen. Luckily, we have lots of ways of getting out of a jam.

2.You shouldn't lose any data if you back up properly. If you need to use a computer and manually drag your pictures and music or whatever to a safe spot, or like the user above me use TiBu and make a backup of your apps and data and stuff.

3.It is not a necessary upgrade, but it is indeed exactly that.. an "upgrade"

I'm not gonna talk up which gingerbread ROMs I like, but I will say i cannot go back to froyo. The smooth, lag-free experience i have had with gingerbread has been more than pleasant.:p

But as always read the OP and instructions...and of coarse re-read just to be sure.;)
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Like Nike, just do it.
[Captivate General] studacris:
1. Is not true. You DON'T risk bricking EVERYTIME you flash ANYTHING. The only time you risk a brick (and I mean brick as in not a thing coming out of the phone, nothing not one little sign of life at all. Nothing. Anything other than that is NOT a brick) is when you are flashing bootloaders, but if you are not flashing bootloaders, which most of the time you aren't you can not brick the worst that can happen is a situation that is commonly (and stupidly) called a "soft brick" that's just when something is broken and it can't boot all the way to a functioning OS, but again that example isn't a brick at all because it's 99.9% of the time recoverable.

OP you are flashing bootloaders so in this case there is a small risk of a brick. But like was said it's the exact same risk as odin one click.
[Captivate General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I didn't mean to be so critical .. I more meant to say what I said in my second sentence about something COULD go wrong but thanks for explaining it better for the OP
[Captivate General] Superalpaca:
Even if you do brick it's nothing to freak out about. 9 times out of 10 just putting the phone into download mode and using Odin again does the trick. Even if you need to build/buy a jig, the chances that it's so bricked that you'd need to JTAG it or send it in are ridiculously small.
[Captivate General] studacris:
See it's this kind of stuff I'm talking about. This loose use of the term brick.

If you can recover it by any means other than jtag it's not a brick. There are no different degrees of bricking, if it's bricked it doesn't do a anything. Not a single solitary bit of computing, it just sits there doing nothing no matter what. Dead. A corpse.

It's either bricked or not. Just because the kernel/rom is broken and it doesn't boot properly does not mean it's bricked at all. If the bootloaders are intact and it tries to boot but fails at the kernel/rom level that is easily fixed. Throwing the term brick around in that situation, even when you add the retarded "soft brick" modifier, will just scare the poop out of a noob who just needs to remain calm and take the proper steps to have a working phone.
[Captivate General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I hear ya and totally agree. But you do realize not that long ago, A LOT of people referred to the phone-!-computer screen as being "bricked". We know now that we are pretty far off from having an actual "bricked" phone in a lot of situations. But even the devs used to refer to that as a bricked device. Just gonna take some time for everyone to figure it out. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] dreezy1209:
For me I went on YouTube and found joshs' video on how to flash continuum. It was very helpful and gave me the main idea of how the process is
[Captivate General] studacris:
Which is why I'm trying to nip that in the bud ;) from now on, or actually about a month ago when I coined the phrase, "soft bricked" is now called "clayed" because there is no such thing as a soft brick in the real world or the phone world, if a brick is soft it hasn't been baked yet in the kiln so it's still just clay, but it works in phone terms too if you have a brick you can't mold it or change anything about it, it's a brick. With clay it's still moldable and able to be worked with.

And the phone....!....pc seen just means a flash was incomplete. flashing anything successfully, even a modem, will get rid of that screen.

Granted if the kernel/rom is still incomplete it won't boot completely and be working, it'll just be "clayed" in a bootloop. So a complete odin rom is probably needed to have a working phone, but like I said flashing anything successfully will at least get rid of that screen.
