In app there is no difference that I've ever noticed...just the basic os ui navigation stuff....which consumes most of my "during the day" use...the faster the better when I'm busy....i want the ui and any associated lag to stay out of my however minimal....I've got **** to do....I'll save playing with roms and extravagant uis for my off time....

i dont know about anyone else, but when im doing a benchmark (or watching a benchmark video) i could really care less about the scores that it comes out with. i look at the frames per second (quadrant, neocore, etc.) because your not going to see much difference in CPU speed between the EVO 3D and GS2, its the GPU, and the optimization of the GPU that you see the differences (or lack-there-of). so, when (watching) benchmark videos like that of quadrant, of the sensation and GS2, im looking at the graphics performance because thats all that really matters to us in the end. and from what ive seen, (again, quadrant, i know) the GS2 does better in the FPS category. yes i know the whole resolution/RAM/Sense thing, but the evidence is there, bent over with its pants down for you to see. im no fanboy or anything lol. im getting the EVO 3D mainly because of the awesome Devs its going to have. but i just wanted to throw my 2cents in there.

*endlongtypingfiasco
[HTC EVO 3D] jaydeebee24:
sometimes, yes. and i honestly think (take this with a mighty grain of salt) that with all the graphics intense "prettying up" that HTC did with sense 3.0, that you will notice a difference. regardless of the power of the GPU/CPU.

The g2x hits 118 fps... STOCK...Does that mean its the best phone ever made?

if the gpu is the only thing that matters in the end any TEGRA 2 nivida chipset wins

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Actually the adreno in the new qualcomm chips beg to differ.
[HTC EVO 3D] jaydeebee24:
no no nooo, LG/tegra 2 devices do not have an FPS cap on them. HTC/samsung/Qualcomm have a 60fps cap on everything. regarding the G2x thing, notice i also mentioned the optimizations of the GPU.

[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Your still saying Samsung "owns" quadrant because of its gpu when that's not the reason....

A9 coretex vs modified A8

If you knew anything about quadrant it is not based on 2d 3d benchmarks

Quadrant is dominated by I/O read and some CPU

Gpu does almost nothing to improve the score on quadrant

U want to test fps and gpu use smartbench game index....

And Samsung failed in that department

sent from anything but an iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] jaydeebee24:
lol no thats not what im saying. what im saying is that i dont give the eventual scores at the end of the test any attention. while the test is running, i look at the little fps count at the bottom left of the screen. the GS2 consistently hits that 60FPS cap when going through quadrant. im not looking for the eventual scores of the CPU/GPU, im looking at the frames per second, which is what matters when going through things like the UI and browser, etc. <--- the optimization of the GPU/CPU plays a huge part in that (think iphone).

samsung hasnt failed in that department, nor has LG or HTC. im merely pointing out the differences between their real life/benchmark performance.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
All these phones are Power houses..they will all eat what we throw at it..but I just prefer HTC and sense..I love my current evo..so why would i change..I know the build quality is great ..so to each their own..but I have heard the adreno 220 is a beast ..I've seen adreno 205 do very well in the games dept..and this is supposed to twice as good
[HTC EVO 3D] babbit:
One thing people also forget is that the SGSII phones have GPU acceleration for the browser an touchwiz, which is why it seems as smooth as the iPhone or WP7 phones (both of which have GPU acceleration). HTC Android phones have never used GPU acceleration. They rely on CPU processing. That is why the HTC sensation seems a little slow and laggy in the videos even though the difference in CPU isn't that much.

GPU acceleration isn't something easy that devs can just add, so unless HTC changes their policy of only using CPU for Sense and internet browser, the EVO 3D should theoretically have a lower framerate when browsing even after devs get their hand on it. You can gage the difference by just running any benchmark on your current phone. You can see how much smoother the GPU accelerated graphics tests are compared to the CPU only tests.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
If its an added benefit I wonder why they have not done it yet..it is funny because not ling ago all android phones suck in the gpu dept..the iPhone 3g came out like 2 years ago and was able to play 3d games that my evo can't load up..good to see they caught up in that dept..actually I don't think the iPhone changed the gpu from the 3gs to the iPhone 4 ..may be wrong..I think its called power vr or something
[HTC EVO 3D] babbit:
The iPhone 1 and iPhone 3G had the same GPU, which is actually faster than the GPU that comes on the original Evo's snapdragon. There was a big jump from the 3GS to iPhone 4 in terms of GPU. They had to in order to push that kind of resolution.

Anyways, it doesn't matter how fast the GPU is. Even for something slow like the Adreno 200 on the original EVO, it is still plenty powerful enough to do 2D acceleration. It's just that Google and HTC hasn't done so yet, and I think that'll be the biggest feature of ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Not true, htc does use hardware acceleration. Maybe not to the extent that touch wiz does but it definitely gets used.
[HTC EVO 3D] KingKuba13:
Because not only is it slow in quadrant, smartbench, etc. It under performs in sunspider and browsermark which actually has some real world usage.

Do you think dx2/blur lags or is slow?

We know everyone says yeah even without actually using one.

Would you rather have a really smooth phone, or high quadrant scores? They do not always correlate.

Check out this article regarding the SGS2

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/some-s...ill-use-nvidias-tegra-2-processor-03-03-2011/

Apparently sammy won't have enough exynos processor for their galaxy s 2 lines so they will use Tegra 2, and imo, Tegra 2 is the low of the mobile dual cores atm.

Evo 3d for me, although, after my Samsung Vibrant I would NOT get another Sammy phone again, so many bugs, ugh, and since there were about 4 of them released in the US (Fascinate, Epic, Vibrant, Captivate) developers were so fragmented that no real work was done, especially no official CM rom for the Galaxy S. I have a pretty nice rom on my Vibrant but you can only do so much with the terrible GPS and radio.

Also the Evo3d processor comes manufactured at a stock speed of 1.5 ghz, I wouldn't be surprised if there's even more headroom in there. We all know about the G2 overclocking, right, I think it's processor was clocked at 800 mhz. Anyways, we can be hopeful.

EDIT: Watch video, enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5OGlCDskA0 Qualcomm is king :P
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
I dont really care about benchmarks.. but I will say that in the comparison browser video between the SGS2 and the Sensation the GS2 bested the Sensation in pretty much every fashion. From page load to scrolling to flash loading and playing.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
LOL, wow opening a page .3 tenths of a second is being bested now adays?? Go figure.

SO i got a evo 3d today and was disappointed in the sunspider test. 6400+ or something like that on the stock browser.... switched to firefox mobile and reran it. Just scored 2439. I can post screenies if you guys want but 2439 is on par with my wifes ipad 2 and over twice as fast as my evo 4g or wifes Epic.

Weird... anyone have an explanation for that?

edit.... just reran on stock browser and scored 6186... and 2439 on firefox

sunspider is a webkit java benchmark. if you use a browser on your phone the benchmarks results will define real world performance.

[Nexus S Accessories] phi303:
So I got the 3500mAh extended battery which came with the backplate to house the battery and noticed that the included backplate does not have the two contact points that the stock plate has. anyone know what those two contact points are for the nexus s?
[Nexus S Accessories] georgemv:
They are the NFC chip contacts.

If you change cover, NFC will stop working.
[Nexus S Accessories] phi303:
ahhh ic ic - thanks, there's no use for NFC at the moment anyhow ^_^
[Nexus S Accessories] calanbalan:
Those are for NFC chip.
[Nexus S Accessories] civicdrivr:
How long have you had the battery? And how is the quality of the back plate?
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
I can't review the battery itself yet, but I can say this for the cover: it fits as well as one might expect, and seems to be made out of fair (though certainly not great) quality plastic. It's a bit thinner than I'd like, but very lightweight.

I had to exchange my first one because the cover didn't snap onto one of the corners of the phone right. The second one was fine. It should fit well and snap securely in place; if it doesn't, exchange it; it's defective.
[Nexus S Accessories] phi303:
i've had the battery for about 3 days now. it lasts more than twice as long as the stock battery (which was unexpected).

daily use for me: gps, wifi and 3G are always on, i have popup SMS that wakes screen for 10sec - average of ~150x a day, overclocked at 1.3 (ondemand with a minimum of 10000), foto tile slideshow as live wallpaper (6xtiles) and automatic updating/refresh for various applications/widgets/mail every 30min to an hour (unless pushed). as for phone calls i barely receive or make one to two phone calls a day, those of which are usually under 3min. volume is always set on high and i have vibrate and audio notifications for twitter, facebook, sms, mail, calendar, alarms and a couple of other apps.

so my battery used to go from 8am (96% full charge) to 2pm (2%) - from 1:30-2:00 the screen stays on running a timer (ultrachron) for my lunch.

now with the extended battery it runs from 8am (96%) to 11pm (30%) without any charging, the last few days was the first times i've ever had the phone and had no worries about carrying a spare battery or finding a charger - granted i've only had the battery for a few days and performance is expected drop a little as time progresses but already the single extended battery already outperforms the two stock batteries combined with the added benefit of not having to swap batteries in the afternoon (although i guess that doesn't matter as much since

sometimes

i get a random reboot that requires me to take the battery out because it reboots with a negative display and loops).

as for the plate, i didnt know the plate was anything to even consider, it is a bit thinner than the stock plate, fits fine, all corners snapped into place fine for me. the plate has that rubbery finish, which i love, and adds some perceived value, the phone doesn't feel so "plastic-ee" or "cheap".

because i have rather large hands the thickness also adds some much wanted dimension to the phone that i've been really looking for since i came from a background of being accustom to an iPhone4 with a mophie juice pack.

considering that i live in colorado there is absolutely no use for the NFC here and i dont miss the functionality at all; the lost of that feature is a minor setback compared to the added battery life and dimension.
[Nexus S Accessories] housry23:
Thanks for sharing. Is there any way you could post some pics of the phone with the 3500 battery and cover so we can get an idea of how much thicker it is?
[Nexus S Accessories] phi303:
sure, i'll try and get some pix taken and posted by tomorrow
[Nexus S Accessories] civicdrivr:
Thanks!
[Nexus S Accessories] derrick_:
Dear lord. With slight tweaks to your setup you would see this type of battery life on the stock battery. Seems like you are wasting gobs of power.

I came from a Droid 2 with liberty rom, where I routinely get two days of battery life under heavy use (I sell phones so I'm on it all day) and I'm easily doing 12 hours of use with no tweaks on my nexus.
[Nexus S Accessories] drl1954:
I also just got the extended battery and back cover. As the OP stated, you need to make sure you have a good fit with the new cover--it has a very nice feel, but mine does not fit quite as securely as the stock back.

As for use, on my second charge I went from 100 to 15 percent with the following use:

*wifi or 3g always on.

*syncing 3 email accounts every 30 min.

*9 hours of screen on (surfing, YouTube, playing around)

*1 hour of phone calls.

*4 hours of GPS tracking while walking around and using endomondo pro.

Battery meter showed usage at about 30% for screen, 25% endomondo, 12% voice calls, 12% gpsd and the rest with various apps, standby etc. (sorry, forgot to take a screenshot).

This was all over a 40 hour period and is more than my normal usage. I streamed a couple hours of YouTube just to try and deplete the battery. With my normal use, I suspect I will get 4 to 5 days or at least twice what I was getting on the stock battery.

Cool thanks. I really want this, but don't want the phone to be too bulky.
[Nexus S Accessories] phi303:
yeah, i've used nscollab with no modifications, widgets, well basically with no bells or whistles and yeah my battery life was lasting over 24hrs but (for me) there wasn't enough functionality - i need full featured performance as i use the phone as everything else but making calls lol

everything i run is a necessity except my wallpaper and i definitely keep an eye on running apps through the native app manager but i cant seem to find much else to get rid of for better battery life, with the extended battery though i'm just kinda happy at where i am now =P
[Nexus S Accessories] housry23:
Thanks for the pics. I don't understand why seidio insists on making such ugly back covers. I hate to bother you with too many questions, but in your opinion does it make the phone feel too bulky in your hand or pocket? Also, where did you get your Android at? I want one!:)

i actually prefer the bulk added to the phone, makes it feel a little better in the hands. as for throwing it on my pocket, its not too bad but i thought the nexus s was too thin to begin with so i guess its just preference =P

Hey guys

Hope you can help, last Friday on my back from work around 5:30pm I was hit head on by a crazy woman cutting the bend in the road.

I'm not at fault IMHO, as I was on my side of the road and she had cut the bend and gone straight into me! I was going 15mph and she said she was going 30mph when questioned.

What I was hoping you could help me with is good sites I could visit where there maybe cameras recording the daily. This could be Police, camers, Neighbourhood watch, or even just people who like recording the days activities on their road :p

My car has been written off, the woman is claiming 50/50, I have a witness (but didn't see the accident happen but was on his drive and saw straight after imapct where I was and where the lady was).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Do not accept 50/50, do not let your insurance company try and rail road you into it either.

Remember you're entitled to demand your car be repaired if it has only been written off due to economic reasons (although if you've agreed it can be written off it might be too late), and can state which repairer you want used.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Let the police sort it out. If there's CCTV footage they'll know. (Despite the number of cameras, there's never any around when you need it though).

Seriously, i don't know what's wrong with people in this country. Three times this year i've had to swerve off the road because of some idiot that's drifted into my lane. It's like something out of Inception where everyone starts to attack the 'invader'.
[Off-topic] Ibb1982:
Thank you for your responses guys.

xaccers I'm definitely not going to give in, as it was in no way my fault, luckily I have a witness who happens to live on the road who saw the aftermath immediately after she hit me, and he could see I was on my side and that she was half of her car was on my side of the road. The car has been written off and the guy was garage were saying it would cost more than the car is worth to repair, I then checked with my own garage, who confirmed it is too much.

DirkGently1 - yeah I should let them deal with it. But I'm sure they won't do that much as I hear they let the insurers deal with it lol. Yes I am soo annoyed with people cutting corners, why can't they just stay on their side of the road? This woman had all the space in the world on her side and still had to cut the corner, unbelievable.

As you can imagine, I'm soo angry with this situation, why should I have to pay for someone else's mistake? Is it wrong to contact the person involved and talk to them about this?

Thanks again guys

Good to hear :)

My first accident, I was 18 in the outside lane of a 2 lane road, my lane was for turning right up ahead at traffic lights and it was clear all the way to them.

Lane 1 was full of stationary cars queuing due to the lights.

Out from a side road came a lone woman in a Skoda who didn't look my way until she was right in front of me.

I was only doing about 20mph but she pulled out so close I hit her B post.

She drove over to the other side of the road and I pulled up on my side.

My bumper was damaged and the O/S wing was peeled back.

She insisted we knocked on strangers' doors to phone the police and report it (who told her just exchange details if no one was hurt).

We did, she drove off, I waiting for the RAC.

She then claimed that I had been speeding, had hit her so hard I'd pushed her to the other side of the road (ignoring the laws of physics obviously), that I had psychologically damaged her, which made her husband frustrated due to her going off sex, which made her eldest daughter give up at school, her son need to see the school psychiatrist, and her 3 year old daughter wet the bed. She tried to sue me for £1500 despite admitting liability.

My insurance company first tried knock for knock, so I told them where to go and got them to fight it.

It went to court, I had flu at the time, we turned up at 8am on a Monday, spoke with our barrister and the representative from my insurance company's solicitor who'd gotten the 6am train from Bristol, and wondered where the woman was.

At 8:30 the bloke from the solicitor got a call to say that after 5:30 the Friday before her solicitors had faxed through a letter stating they were withdrawing their claim!

So they deliberately sent it too late to stop us attending court, wasting the court's time too. Our barrister was absolutely livid anyway as her solicitors obviously hadn't had a case (she also claimed never to have suffered psychological disorders but didn't realise we'd get to see her medical records which showed she had in the past).

I'd sold the car in the meantime so was awarded an amount that covered the loss of value due to the damage.
