I'm not a scientist or anything but I'm guessing the fact that it's rendering nearly three times as many pixels across a 12" screen running a new version of Android that hasn't been fully optimized for the hardware yet might have something to do with it...

I guess it could be a bug if by bug you mean perfectly normal and fully expected when early adopting new hardware / software concepts. If you'd like it to be a more polished solution like the iPad just disable flash and tada super great browsing experience. If you want it to do what no other system with its specs can do you can probably expect a few developmental hiccups.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Different devices will run differently. My wifes htc Legend runs much better than my htc Legend and she had Android 2.1, while I was running the "super fast" Cyanogenmod with Froyo... now that was a let down! LOL

Are there tasks that your Transformer does that TOO SLOW? Everything that I do seems to be quite snappy, but I guess it depends what you are doing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
are you comparing fullscreen playback or native rez in the browser. if fullscreen then yes the asus is rendering A LOT more pixels.

also keep in mind that video playback is not the most effective use of dual processors. yes it's probably multithreaded but only to split video from audio and perhaps bufferring. Video decoding itself is rarely successfully performed on multiple threads. So you have 1 1ghz core decoding the video and the other buffering and decoding audio(just a guess). That really doesn't give the dual core a huge advantage over the single core.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Never use Flash as a benchmark when comparing the performance of different chipsets. It's not the fault of NVIDIA that Adobe is incredibly slow to optimize their products for the latest hardware. Honeycomb is still a new product as well, so there's a good chance that some of the problem is on Google's end as well.

Chill out and have some patience.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
To piggyback...is there a way to set a preference of HTML video rather than flash, and only use flash as a fallback? Maybe that should be another thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
HTML5 video is handled by the servers of whatever website you're visiting, not on the tablet itself. To better your chances that the servers will default to HTML5 video when visiting them, you can change your user agent to Tablet or Mobile-phone. But if the site was built exclusively using Flash, there is no way to force it to render in HTML5.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taknarosh:
http://www.androidbugle.com/2011/05/flash-103-performance-test.html

Check out the video I did comparing Flash performance on 3 different chipsets.

I believe HTC and Qualcomm worked together to optimized Flash out of the box for the stock browser.

The 1GHz Second Gen Snapdragon in the HTC Incredible S (same as in Thunderbolt) spanked every other phone I tested (including the Tegra 2 powered Atrix).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Right, I underrstand that... I guess I should have asked more specifically ifthere was a hack around it :/

I can change my ipad's browser agent and still default to HTML 5 video..well specifically embedded YouTube videos.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
that's because

Spoiler content hidden.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
And the Youtube app runs on HTML5, on both Android and iOS. The difference between the two is that embedded Youtube in the browser in iOS utilizes a plugin from the Youtube app to allow the HTML5 stream to play, whereas in Android the browser defaults to Flash for embedded Youtube content, and will only play in HTML5 if you choose to open the video in the external Youtube app. That's Google's way of allowing you to keep your options open.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
What's your point? Did you read my initial question? There's no need to act like a snot.

Let's rephrase this.

For sites that have been optimized for HTML 5 video playback, is there a way to force that to load first, while retaining flash as a fallback option? If I set my iPad browser to desktop it still chooses HTML 5 video playback, so there must be something going on besides browser identification string, otherwise it would show a missing plugin icon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] levenite:
I believe there is a browser setting called "flash on demand" or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
correct, however the page will default to an unloaded flash plugin even if there may be an html 5 version available in my experience... :/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
If you set your browser to an ipad user agent, you will get HTML5 videos in place of flash, but none of them seem to work OR very few will load in the native video player - nothing like the ipad experience, but it semi-works...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] h00ligan:
Thanks for the info....I wonder if this is a result of the lack of hardware acceleration?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] psufan5:
I am thinking this is the case... Anyone know if kernel source being released can fix this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
It s a well known fact that flash is not optimized for tablets. I forgot what article I saw it in, I think it was engadget and the CEO verbally bypassed that specific question. Another item is the real estate on a tablet compared to a phone..alot more ...a hell of alot more..depending on how your user agent is set up and also what type of gpu is on it. I had to revert on my nook flash 10.1 because they took out hardware acceleration for it in 10.2+. If you do a full screen mode on a phone or even smaller...it is fantastic..do that on a tablet...it is okay.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d1nonlyhogfan:
If you're having the issue with the stock browser, try DolphinHD. It does media streaming better than the stock usually.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jcX4ever:
I also noticed that my G2 at 1.5ghz can almost match my TF at 1.6Ghz in Linpack.

Does this hypothesis put forward evidence such as pyramids being found on different continents?

Sound spooky doesn't it? How is it the native south americans built pyramids and so did the Egyptians and lets not forget the far eastern pyramids, must be aliens right?

Or, just maybe, if you don't know how an arch works, then the only way you can build a tall building is using a stepped shape, ie a pyramid.

Amazing, aliens managed to build interstellar crafts, but hadn't discovered how to make an arch.

Magical meXdroid meXperia V4

No, you're misunderstanding the reason why pyramids are that shape, it is the only way to build a tall building without the knowledge of archways.

You can only build so far straight up with rocks/mud before it collapses under it's own weight.

We know how humans built pyramids and it's nothing special or mystical.
[Off-topic] romeochan:

I highly doubt that modern humans could create a pyramid with ancient tools. You aren't taking into account the precise measurements of the pyramid itself that are symbolic of equaling things.

Give me enough slaves and I'd do it.

You're forgetting that the Pyramid areas in Egypt are strewn with rocks where they made mistakes, and they had hundreds of years to improve previous designs, from the earliest mastabas, to their evolution into basic step pyramids (basically a mastabas with smaller ones layered on top), to the great pyramid.

99% of the hundreds of pyramids in Egypt have nothing at all to do with stella alignment.
[Off-topic] GhostZini:
Lets take Stonehenge for example, people think erecting those stones was no big deal yet no one can offer proof of how they did it. Im not saying aliens did that but ancient man was far superior in their efforts than we are. How about the nazca lines. How on earth did they make such giant illustrations that could only be seen from the sky? Man knew of sky creatures they perceived as gods.

Magical meXdroid meXperia V4
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Er, there's been several programs showing how it was done, and if memory serves (it's been a while since I've visited the stones), the visitors centre there shows how it was done.

The Nazca lines aren't for show, they're for procession, during religious worship they were walked along, and again it's been shown how they can easily be made on the ground.

They were not freemen, ergo they were slaves. Slave does not mean badly treated.

You're mistaking the Giza layout with the rest of the pyramids and mastabas which were built long before then.

I don't believe in this. I think if there were such aliens we probably would have found more evidence like ancient space ships or other tech left behind.

Hi everyone, I see that in Cyanogen rom 7 there's a FM Radio app that is part of the system (I think). I have a gingerbread Stock rom rooted and with the SU and quite satisfied with it, but i would like to have something similar like the FM radio app. So my question is: There's an FM Radio apk for gingerbread stock roms?? or this is something exclusive of the Cyanogen rom ?

Thank's in advance

Cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Unfortunately, the FM radio app requires changes deep within the system framework. So, without a custom ROM, the FM radio app cannot be used. Your only alternative is to use a streaming radio app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfrank1485:
ahhh I see, thank's for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
My FM app does not require framework changes.

It "almost works" on most Nexus One ROMs, except for audio.

I have an experimental method that can get FM audio out directly to a Bluetooth headset, but the audio quality is awful.

I'm trying to determine if the FM audio path can be enabled on stock kernels.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafcano:
I've installed the last stock ROM in my mother's Nexus One, and I finally achieved to run FM radio.

I used the last custom kernel from [MENTION=2425314]intersectRaven[/MENTION] (downloaded last version at http://intersectraven.euroskank.com/kernels/Nexus One/2.6.38.8/20120112_14XX/) and the old free SpiritUL application (I don't remember where I downloaded it).

At this moment, I only found an inconvenient: you can't use the radio and bluetooth at the same time, you need to turn off the radio and then turn on the bluetooth.

I hope this response can help some other users which are searching a solution for this problem as me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Yeah, there might have been 1 or 2 now rather old versions of Spirit UL that were effectively released as free.

Newer versions can work with BT on, using an HCI/Bluedroid shim library, on 4.3+ AOSP ROMs with /system/lib/libbt-hci.so .

But you still can't get FM over BT on Nexus One.

[Galaxy Tab General] mennekee:
Hi all,

Just a quick introduction to myself, name's Menneke, been playing around with computers since pong, the ZX spectrum, IBM sys36/38, the old kermit and BBS's , and cpm/80 were around :-)

I've got amongst many toys a Gtab 7" and a GS 1st gen from vodafone in the Netherlands, and been having a lot of fun with them :-D

I've had my share of near-bricking the tab (flashing awrong kernel once for instance, which made the tab reboot every time I hooked up the charger which resulted in the not charging at all .. so heimdalling the stock back was tricky ;)

I've decided to introduce myself, share my knowledge with those who love these little droid things as much as I do, but of course the Dutch users who are on vodafone (although I ran a bad kernel for about 3 weeks which was a T-mobile one because I accidentally killed the SD which held my stock backup :( ..

Just couldn't bring it back to the shop and say "well, I woke up this morning, and suddenly it showed a T-mobile logo when I fired it up and after an hour it stopped working" ;)

The Gtab is actually a wonderful device which is soooooooooooo hard to actually brick, so if you happen to have a VF Gtab from Holland and need some help, feel free to ask :-)

The other nationalities and territories are of course welcome as well :-D

Kind regards,

Menneke
[Galaxy Tab General] speldenaar:
Hello Menneke,

Which kernel and rom are you now on?

According to me, it doesn't matter which provider you have, as long as you flash eu modems, since you've got a European Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] mennekee:
Hi Speldenaar,

I am now running Overcome 2.0.0 RC1 with kernel 2.6.35.7 se.infr@SEP-52#2, which was included with the rom.

I haven't tried the gold version yet since it seems still buggy gauging from the comments.

I am, however, going to try and flash the beta Honeycomb rom to have a play around with..

You're right about the provider, but in my case I nearly bricked the tab because the kernel it was running caused the tab to reboot everytime I attempted to charge her, so flashing proved tricky :)

I accidentally broke my Vodafone stock backup sdcard, so I had to flash a european stock kernel and rom, however the kernel was a T-mobile one.

And as you might imagine, returning the tab to the Vodafone store was a no-go, since the tab would hang during the boot showing the T-mobile logo :)

However I noticed some volume issues due to the modem, it seems the handsfree call volume is very bad , a workaround is to set the volume to max, and then 2 notches down with the volume keys resets the volume.

I also need to wipe my battery stats because I get some batterylife issues running this quite good rom :)
