[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
I know im going to get flamed, however I don't understand how we could have such a powerful phone with the slowest 2D and sub-par performance 3D (unless its a TegraZone game)? Yes the phone is super fast, but it has a superior GPU that can't even to 2D well. NVIDIA has said that the low benchmarks are do to the benchmarking software not taking advantage of the tegra's 3D capabilities. Yet they are all based on OpenGL ES. Which is a standard that any GPU made for android should support fully. 2D should have been mastered way before 3D was. Also, to say its the resolution being so high, again this GPU (not quite as powerful as its desktop version) was powering way higher resolutions than that of the Atrix. Also, let's not forget where NVIDIA started, they pretty much made OpenGL what it is today.

I just wanted to get that off my chest. I have the Atrix and love the speed. I just can't get past the fact that my single core captivate with its PowerVR 540 has better performance in 2D and 3D out-of-the-box. Fluid motion across the entire phone.
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
my understanding is that android is not optimized for dual core cpus as of right now. also correct me if i am wrong but the ui is not gpu accelerated because of the multitude of hardware android has to be compatible with? although things like the stock launcher are hardware accelerated and run quite nicely. (although are incompatible because of our high screen resolution) expect better performance in the coming future. i also have a honeycomb tablet with similar hardware. the ui is all hardware accelerated and it is smooth as can be. i would expect phones will catch up as we get closer to ice-cream sandwich.
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
I hope so. Just hope Motorola provides us with an ice-cream sandwich.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Can we see these benchmarks? If you test the phone on smartbench (which uses opengl graphics) the ATRIX scores higher than the sgs2... so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
I don't know what you are talking about. Are you one of those people that still believes the PowerVR 540 does 90m polygons/s???

I don't see any slow down in any game, 3d or 2d and that's pushing way more pixels.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Not in games, but web browsing and scrolling can be awsomelly crappy on the atrix, thats true. And Galaxy on Fire 2, for example, does lag.
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
i got this phone with the full understanding that the software was not optimized for dual core cpus. im expecting it to get better. (from looking at honeycomb the future is bright)
[Atrix 4G General] graemegb:
Android Software can take advantage of both processing cores, its a matter of if the application supports it.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Are you on 2.3.4?

Also, web browser lag is a software issue. Download dolphin web browser. Theres no lag there.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Yes I am. Yes, I tried opera, dolphin, every single browser you can think of, there definetly is lag. If you cant spot it right on, go to a carrier store and access the same site on your atrix and on the SGS2. Try pocket now, its a heavy website, or stock youtube, or anything you can think of that contains lots of images and videos. The atrix isnt smooth by any standards.
[Atrix 4G General] glemdot:
I gotta agree the stock 2.2.2 sucks. I also believed (kinda) the phone was subpar for what it was marketed for.

A week ago, however, flashed 2.3.4 (When Int'l users got some serious love), and coupled with the newest Edgan kernel and Go Launcher Ex, I can tell you the difference is huge.

Maybe you could try that? I apologize beforehand if you already did, but couldn't tell.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Yes it becomes much, much speedier (I did those exact configs, golauncher ex, 2.3.4., OC kernel) but also much buggier. Battery life went to hell, it heated up constantly, and my phone would wake sometimes not recognizing my SIM card and screwing up my widgets.

I took off the OC kernel and left with stock 2.3.4, its still much faster than froyo, and it's, sadly, still behind the SGS2, for example. My comparison with the Galaxy is that it's the only other dual core superphone on Brazil for now.

Given, I didnt notice the difference until I personally compared the two, so i suggest this as a free-time enlightening endeavor to all Atrix owners. A bit depressing tough, but hey, out phone has a fingerprint sensor, the lapdock, and a much greater pixel density (which makes a hell of a lot of difference too, trust me).
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
If you're on froyo it's an unfair comparison.

Get on gingerbread and we'll talk.
[Atrix 4G General] Exador:
The other phone is always better..... until you actually buy it. Then there's always gonna be a better phone just around the corner.

You can do one of two things

1) return/ sell your Atrix and get the GS2 or 2) stick with the Atrix and stop obsessing over lame benchmark scores. The Atrix is still one of the fastest Android phones on the market.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
For the third frggin time, I'm on GB.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Ok then, I'm on GB as well. I get 3600 productivity and 2800 gaming on smartbench. I get ~24 hours of battery life (in use). The phone is never hot like it used to get on froyo.

I'm using edgans international kernel on 2.3.4 OrangeFR.

If you don't spend time on your phone, it will have issues. If you search around and are smart, you can run a flawless 2.3.4 atrix that beats GS2 in gaming, and almost matches it in productivity.

Its buttery smooth.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
My god you really didnt read anything I wrote...

Im not talking about benching. Im not talking about problems with gaming, and I dont even wanna guess what you mean by "productivity". Im saying that scrolling up and down the same website in both phones side-by-side, the SGS2 wins by a large margin, and that until you've tried it personally, you may not feel any performance issues with ur Atrix.

The only exception to the gaming is Galaxy on Fire 2, which stutters on the Atrix, and I confirmed this on two models. Its a graphically heavy game, but its made for Tegra, and it stutters. Its one software, so Im not blaming this on the phone, just saying... This specific game doesnt even run on the Galaxy, for example...
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
The productivity benchmark portion of smartbench. Check it out.

I have absolutely no stutter in my dolphin web browser. I'm on the desktop version of youtube right now. Since you have a GS2 in your hands. Take a video comparing them. Make sure you install a fresh copy of cherryblur, redpill, or ninjarom before you compare. Kenn's beta and the OTA are a little buggy and bloated. There's no way that the atrix stutters. If it does, return yours. Mine doesn't.

Its a well known fact that game is gimmicky. Try out backbreaker THD, Riptide, pinball THD, samurai 2 vengeance, guerrilla bob, reckless racing.
[Atrix 4G General] Pat123:
Guys, SGS2 has a hardware-accelerated browser! It is bound to be smoother and faster than what we have on Atrix!
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
Yes my galaxy tab has the same graphics accelerated browser. Its ipad fast lol. Switch to dolphin and its slow again. Samsung are definitely baking gpu acceleration into stock browsers
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
Didnt know about the gpu accelerated browser, but it does make sense. A good example of how the entire user experience trouble with the Atrix is software programing, is how the webtop performance increased tenfold on GB update. Now if only they could fix that trackpad with a 0.5sec delay....
[Atrix 4G General] RogerPodacter:
Well the SGS2 web browser is hardware accelerated which is why it blows all other android browsers away. Samsung is the only android manufacturer to give hardware acceleration in some of the UI elements.

Edit: oops didn't see the other replies stating the same thing.
[Atrix 4G General] TechnoNeto:
Get the gs2 then, problem solved. No need wasting the atrix threads over this.
[Atrix 4G General] Viamonte:
As i said, the Atrix has a much greater pixel density and the lapdock, which is a very nice adition to me, since its the most lightweight netbook to date. Im just trying to injet a bit of realism on people's lives, Im not complaining or trolling. Knowing our weakness' is the only way to improve upon them. Who knows someone on the foruns can come up with a GPU accelerated browser based on Tegra like that NVIDIA game store?
[Atrix 4G General] crossix:
Im running stock 2.3.4 with no mods except root and have been playing galaxy on fire 2 with absolutly no studdering, lag, not even a little... I also got my hands on vendetta online which is even more of a hog and am running it without issues (other than some things being super tiny which is to be expected).

It sounds to me that you've got issues and are trying to start a flame war unsuccessfully. Even if your just trying to show people the atrix's flaws its a waste of a post if you ask me..

[HTC Sensation] schoolsux:
I don't know if its just me, but the app icons @ the sence homescreen looks blurry, not sharp, NOT GOOD. The lockscreen and the app drawer icons look good & sharp but not in the homescreen for some reason. Plus, theres no black bar behind the icon label text, so its very hard to read the text when having a bright wallpaper.. not that its anything necessary, but it simply looks like ****. Pretty much any other launcher has sharp looking app icons and runs smooth, but I kinda want the Sence widgets etc.

Overall I think the phone UI isn't smooth for ****, I mean, my brothers Desire HD is way more smooth and is powered by a single core cpu (stock rom, no clock or root). Feels like I both hate and love the phone at the same time, HTC really need to shape the phone software up or back it goes! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Have you checked to see what type of screen you have? AUO or Sharp? Check out this thread
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
Yes, I posted this a while back, the home screen icons ARE INDEED blurry, (and the bottom bar has jagged edges, and the side of the screen has a 4 pixel black bar that problably noone has noticed(but I just found at it was because my sharp screen has a 544*960 resolution, maybe the auo has 540?)) you are not insane, I suppose sence 3,0 wasnt well finished to match the resolution.

Anyone in doubt, add an icon in the home screen, and look at that same icon in the drawer or inside a folder, MUCH SHARPER
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The bottom bar being all jagged does bother me at times, but it's no big deal. No blurryness of icons for me. I have a Sharp panel.
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
I have shqrp oanel too, i had 4 sensations, all had blurry icons and so do you and every one else, the blurryness is very very imperceptible, it is something that most people wontnotice. But you do sligbtlykotice it when you compare a homescreen icon with the same onein theapp drawer. Try it with the "people" app,again its very faint, be happy you dontse it :p
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Haha I don't want to compare because it'll be another thing that's going to start bugging me and will deter me from enjoy the phone. Ignorance is bliss.
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
Hehe, when i got my first sensation, it is the first thing that I noticed, and i was the first one that bothered me, that and the jaggies.

Then i had to send it back 4 times for various hardware reasons, not, the very faint blur doesnt bother me at all, compared to the rest.

I also think that being software, it isnt a problem and can be fixed.

I too wish I didnt see that stuff lol, all my RL friends, relations, the whole world around me, dont seem to care about this kind of stuff. Except people here on XDA, do we have a desease lol?

My GF desire HD has one of her 4 capactive buttons, the menu one, spelling out mEnu with a capital e instead and the rest normal letters, that is the kind of crap that drives me mad lol

My worst pet peeve used to be dead pixels and scratches. now phones are Gorilla glass, and pixels are so small you have a hard time seeing them if they are dead., So lord all mighty decided to put dust, fuzzy speaker, and various other problems in my phone to make up for it.
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
I've done a lot of comparing with icons on my homescreen and the icons in my app drawer and I see zero difference personally. Maybe something is going on with a portion of the panels.... As for the black box behind the text, HTC removed it in Sense 3.0 for some reason.

I'm coming from the Inspire 4G (US version of Desire HD) and the reason its so much smoother is because in Sense 2.0/2.1 there is a WHOLE lot less going on in the system compared to Sense 3.0. I personally deal with some lag also. I promise once we get S-OFF and we are able to flash custom ROMs, things will get a million times better. All the chefs and devs will tweak the stock ROM to fly on the Sensation and it will be a night and day difference once its perfected. We will get a lot of awesome devs coming to this phone for that specific reason :):):).
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
My icons were blurry on Sense but ADW fixed everything as usual. HTC really needs to go back to the drawing board with Sense. I don't understand why everyone praises Sense so much. It has to much eye candy, can't change the **** icons and ITS SLOW!
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
I personally strongly believe that you just dont see it (no insulting or anything), but it is there, i mean it really is not like its all blurry, but maybe recroped by a pixel line.

It is not hardware, the screen isnt a problem, it is just on the homescreen, which is why i KNOW every one has it, or...there are multiple sense version out there.

HTC just hurried sense 3,0 out and its obvious (to me anyway) but I dont mind it all that much now
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Maybe it's just me, but after upgrading to 2.3.4...the icons on the home screen don't look blurry anymore. Can someone else check?
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
Exactly, it's a sense problem, everyone has it, with some icons/colours it's a little difficult to spot, but it's always there, but I thought it was fixed with the 1.45, someone here mentioned that it did.

EDIT : and the above post seems to confirm it.
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Think more along the lines of "slight soft focus" rather than blurry, I wonder if it's where they've pulled things over from previous sense versions and not rejigged it for 540x960
[HTC Sensation] Owdy:
I have blurry icons and text too in desktop. Also that bottom bar doesnt have smooth border. This is Sense issue, because other launchers shows perfect fonts.

This is annoying too:

[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Dude.. Get your eye sight checked by ophthalmologist... Not kidding...:)
[HTC Sensation] Owdy:
Duuude, that bottom bar image in default theme is scaled wrong in Sensation, Sense 3.0, its fixed in 3.5. And dude, sensation has two differend screens, Acer and Sharp. Acer screen has these issues.

[Nook Color General] tailleur:
thought this was interesting. Ever since i bought my nook in march i have not been able to connect to my work wifi. I installed autonooter for 1.1 in May and still never had any success until today. it would connect but i could never get to the disclaimer page.

i was playing around in the settings under nook color tools today and scrolled down to the bottom under wifi; there are three seperate headings for wireless. I thought one and two were all the same so i never bothered with three. I tried three and it took me the barnes and noble registration page, which i filled out when i first purchased, and it was on page 4 of 5 and it said "complete registration" so i clicked on it and wala! i am now able to connect to my work's wifi.

I never had any problems connecting to wifi anywhere but here.

I have a DVP from Tmobile that I bought and unlocked it for ATT. I cannot get the 3G to enable on it.. Is this not possible? From what Ive read it looks possible..

I've add the APN settings, went to the ##3282# and set 3g and it fails to turn the radio back on,.,. Then reverts to 2G or mixed but never pulls a 3G signal.

Yes you can get 3g on a tmobile phone that is on the att network. Go into settings cellular than edit apn. The only apn setting needed is wap.cingular no user name or password. This setting got me 3g. I do have a prerelease phone but that shouldn't matter.

wap.cingular

Well.. I read your last post about 45 seconds too late.. Just sold the phone to someone and they just walked out my door :(

You wouldnt have got 3G on at&t, different radio frequencies and AFA we know the dell is not penta-band. Changing the APN wont work on a T-Mo DVP.

Like efjay said, AT&T and T-Mobile uses different frequency so you'll have to buy Dell Venue Pro with T-Mobile band.

Hi guys,

a quick question please, how can I tell if the rom that I have on my phone is branded to O2 or not? I'm on KF3 via kies and I just rooted it.

Many thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolfi:
Do you see o2 logo or any other message o2 brand start up or on the software part of the phone?

If not have you tried another network sim? Does another network sim work on your phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you are on KF3 via Kies that was the latest O2 upgrade .

O2 branding is O2 splash screen at boot and a few O2 sites in the web browser and O2 Arena wallpaper .

O2 phones are branded do you actually mean is it locked to O2 network ??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
Go to Settings -> Info and scroll down until you see your kernel. Now search the forum for the string you see there. The part that answers your question is I9100XWKF3 where XW or whatever you have tells you the region/branding and KF3 tells you the kernel version.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] idaho999:
Hello all,

I have a kaiser that I installed Android on nand. Now, the phone will not power on when the power button is pushed after pulling the battery. When the USB cable is plugged in, a white screen flashes 10 seconds later, and it sometimes boots to android.

When I pull the battery and hold the camera button (either pushing the power button or inserting the USB cable), the phone does nothing.

If it boots to android, is it possible to hardspl from android, since I can't get to the bootloader?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
If you cannot use the power button to turn on the phone, here's what I would do:

1. get a copy of scooter1556's newest kernel with his copy of ATools from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152219

It delegates an extra 20mb from the /data partition and REALLY smoothes out the performance and makes it REALLY stable. :D

2. Using ATools, assign a different button for power, wether it be the "end call" button or some other button not used by android (the "soft" buttons are unused but I assign them to "vol down" and "vol up", it's your choice). Make sure you DO NOT adjust the /system-/data slider as this will really mess up the /cache partition. Follow ALL the instructions at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand

Again, disregard anything to do with adjusting /system or /data partitions. You get 91mb of data with this kernel, more than enough.

3.Once everything is in place (KAISIMG.NBH, andboot folder, installseq file),insert the SD card into your phone. Here is where it will get tricky. Hold the camera button and insert the USB charger. Hold the button until the phone screen flashes. If this does not force the bootloader, just hit the reset button with the stylus (on the bottom just next to the USB port, above and to the right).

If this procedure doesn't work, IDK which direction to point you other than finding another kaiser on eb@y or something to use for parts and have someone fix yours or fix it yourself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
I think the issue is quite simple. Your battery is completly empty. Plug in the charger, the phone will flash, let it be, and wait about 10 minutes. IF the charging led is on then, power the kaiser and let it charge all the way.

Hi, I just discovered a simple trick to open the camera without the loading screen (the black screen with a circle and a camera in). It is as simple as this:

(LauncherPRO or any launcher/app that allows to make a shortcut of an activity):

Add>Shortcut>Activity

Scroll down to Camera and expand it. You will see 3 activities. First one will be com.android.lgecamera.LoadingCamera, and the second o.e is com.android.lgecamera.ArcCamera. Select this second one. It will always skip the loading screen and show the Camera directly

Amazing, I cannot believe they make the loading screen on purpose...
