[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
I know it's dumb, but is it possible? Or are we going to see the new Linux kernel in feature Android updates?
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I've been looking for a more technical analysis of these SOCs and I have been trying to learn how the async CPU setup on the MSM8660 affects performance.

Nvidia claims that the power saving feature of our CPU (async) will inevitably cause a decrease in performance:

http://www.intomobile.com/2011/03/2...ed&utm_campaign=Feed:+IntoMobile+(IntoMobile)

Does anyone have any comments on this? If this is the case, I am wondering if through software we can force both cores to run at the same voltage/frequency. I wonder if it would cause an increase in performance (at least in benchmarking). Many claim that the Evo 3d only gets medicore benchmark scores due to having asynchronous cores that are not being accurately benched. It would be interesting to verify this claim.

Also, does anyone know which SOC between the three I listed in the title is the highest in performance (not talking about useless benchmarks like quadrant)?
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
So....there is possibly a 10–15% decrease in performance.....that's fine with me. Most of the time you won't even notice until you run benchmarks and looks at the numbers.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
SetCPU + Performance mode are all you should need
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Well the 10-15% slower is nVidia's claim, not sure if its true.
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
Does that make both cores run at the same time or running cores at the same time not possible due to the processor
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It will keep the cpu running at full speed. Which core gets used for what depends on a lot of things but it mostly depends on how the apps and kernel are programmed.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
Yes, but is it possible to keep both cores at their full frequency? Setting the exynos or tegra 2 on performance mode makes both cores stay at their maximum frequency since they are synchronous. I think setting performance mode on the Evo 3d would only guarantee that one of the core will remain at its full frequency.

Not sure about this of course. Anyone have any insight into this?
[HTC EVO 3D] charnsingh_online:
Second Core wouldnt kick in if ur not heavily multitasking or running multithreaded apps and u wouldnt need second core for minor multitasking or single threaded operations as single core is enough
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
i will tell you that on paper the msmx60 should beat out all, but in real world use, the exynos hammers everything. the s2 is a beast
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
The Exynos is the better SoC, plain and simple. If we get into GPU discussions, the Adreno 220 is the best, as in better than Mali 400.. Go to Anandtech, and watch them use a Qualcomm device for the benches.
[HTC EVO 3D] bballer71418:
Is it a "for sure" thing that ICS will use the GPU acceleration in the OS? Or is that just everyone's hopes and dreams
[HTC EVO 3D] yasin12:
You could program the kernel to keep both cores at max frequency. Im not a developer but am sure something like this could be done
[HTC EVO 3D] stimpyshaun:
ics will include all of the features that honeycomb has and honeycomb has 2d acceleration so yes
[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
Maybe we should make some real world benchmarks and get some SGS2 people in on it. Like how fast a particular app opens(say angry birds), How many fps a game plays at, Convert a file to another format, complete a 5 step plan to take over the world things like that. Alot of things like that are how reviewers rate and test things like new video cards and cpus plus all the benchmark programs.

I used to use a program called fraps to see how many fps my pc games were playing at so I could tweak stuff( long live unreal tournament!!!!). It would just display the fps in the top corner of the screen.

Also comparing the 3vo and SGS2 will really heat up when we get root and CM7. 400mb less roms have gatta make a huge difference on performance. I dunno about you guys but I haven't been able clog up my 3vo yet(and I've been trying!), I'm pretty impressed with the hardware so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Fraps tends to lie with FPS.
[HTC EVO 3D] xPSYCHOTRONx:
GPU acceleration will be nice. Hope we see ICS soon.

[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
It is known that the MSM8660 can achieve higher clock frequencies than the Exynos, though clock for clock the Exynos has better IPC.

As of right now the GSII beats the 3VO in both benchmarks and real world tests, but I suspect this is because Sense is a pig that takes far too much ram and system resources. HTC also seems to have poorer unoptimized drivers. In addition to this, the async CPUs of the 3VO may not be properly tested by current benchmarking tools.

I think comparing a rooted 3VO and a rooted GSII should be much closer. Imagine the MSM8660 at 1.8-2.0 Ghz both cores running full frequency with no Sense and other bloat to slow it down. Combine that with a hardware accelerated GUI and this phone should be amazing.
[HTC EVO 3D] xweaponx:
The Adreno GPU will get better over time... and will develop much faster than before. Since Qualcomm purchased the branch from AMD (ATi), there has been much improvement in a reasonably small amount of time. There are various claims that the Adreno 220 outperforms the Tegra 2. I havent seen a solid comparison of the Adreno 220 vs the Exynos although I have read that the Exynos is a very capable processor.

As they both stand in stock offering, the Samsung GS2 will be faster; it has tremendous less resources to move. I agree with what has been said about root & rom options: CM7 on the EVO 3D will likely result in unprecedented (real world) benchmarks .Also note that the current Android releases are not yet optimized for dual/quad core management. But rest assured, it is well under development and the Sprint EVO 4G4D (hypothetical name) will behold a treasure trove of menacing capabilities.

HTC + Qualcomm + Android = Future
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
I think we should just wait until we can do a head-to-head AOSP CM 7 benchmark/real world test to see what happens. I'm confident the SGSII will get shredded by the E3D.

It seems unfair to compare anything within the phone itself now, because of what each phone has to run. Sense is pretty tasking on our phones and I can't say as much for the opposition.

It's funny to see NVIDIA make snide comments about Qualcomm when their phones are getting bested. Although I must say it is impressive to see that Tegra 2 phones are over a year old and keeping up with the E3D's dual-core deliciousness.

Just my thoughts.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
Personally I don't believe Nvidia, plenty of benchmarks contradict their statement. That and whoever said "Additionally, the operating systems like Android and many apps aren’t set up for an asynchronous architecture." is an idiot because 99% of apps in the market don't support dual core lmfao.

get XOOM recently, relatively satisfied with it. the screen's big and seems nice!

But inputting on PAD is quite different with phone, which input method do u guys use on XOOM? is there any good ones to introduce? Thank U
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I meant to hit quick reply...it's too early in the morning!

Ok, so I use Tablet Keyboard, which can be used as a split keyboard --easier to use if you're holding it as well as a one piece that is almost exactly like a fullsize pc keyboard with numbers/symbols on top. It works great.

I also use flexT9 keyboard from the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking--you can swipe, draw, speak and tap with this keyboard and its just a keypress to change between the modes. The swipe works especially well but you need to train it a bit for voice and to get your own entries into the dictionary.

I recommend both...there's a free version of Tablet to check out but I use the paid version.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kurotany:
Well that's the situiation, it sim-locks even though i have my phone with the sim from the carrier i bought it, i'd like to know if it is just me or other people with e10a are experiencing the same problem?:s

And also since this happened i noticed that in previous version of e10a firmware there was no sim-lock enforcement like this one, just hardware, even though i flashed firmwares from other countries and even e10i; and this new sim-lock it's not the firmware, because i installed cyanogenmod and it still gave me the sim-lock

Anyways what i'm trying to say is, and it might be a wild guess, but the sim-lock is enforced by kernel from 2.1.1.A.0.6 onwards, maybe not entierly but in a way that the kernel or one of the other files that are flashed (excep system, ruled it out by trial and error) has the region code or the carrier number or whatever it is that tells the device that the sim is not from the carrier it's lock down to, so with that maybe we could locate that code and modify it to our actual carrier number or maybe an unlocked mode, kind of like how the galaxy S unlock works
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] poncespr:
Same problem here. I have searched and still have not found a solution. And I am weary of paying $40 to unlock my cell phone to use it with its original carrier and sim card after paying full price for the phone and my carrier has no idea about how to get me an unlock code. Oh well, back to 2.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dmbardal:
I have the same 'problem', but...

Have you tried pressing the 'dismiss'-button?

That does the trick for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] poncespr:
If I select dismiss, I will be able to access all the features, but not the phone functions. I just reverted to 2.1 (2.0.A.0.504) and everything works the way it should.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
it sometimes happens to me and the dismiss button give me all the features the phone can provide, and all that the sim can give me : phone call, web, sms, mms and everything else.

:-)

the phone works perfectly after dismiss button pressed here.

and please, here was not the right place to start this thread :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kurotany:
For many people like me after i press the dismiss button i cannot get acces to any of the sim services i.e. calls, mms , sms, but i didn't mean this post to be so much of complaining, but more for trying to find ways to unlock the phone given the peculiarity of this "sim-lock" that must mean that in the newer firmware it is enforced through software, try to find a solution kind of like rotohammers sim unlock method, maybe some devs can share some light in the equivalent of the samsung galaxy s/tab /efs folder
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
ok ... I didn't know that ...

did you try turn on/off flight mod to see if this change anything?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kurotany:
yep i checked if flight mode was turned on, on and off doesn't get signal.

But anyways i found something interesting, in root explorer on the root of the phone memory there is a "vendor" file, that i can't copy and when i delete it and reboot my phone first time couldn't find my sim, a couple times later it found my sim and didn't throw the please enter network unlock thing but could not conect to the network, and later it showed again the network unlock screen, and the file was once again where i deleted it, and i dont remember seeing that "vendor" file in previous firmwares i.e: 2.0.A.0.504.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, anyways i upload a screenshot of the file
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadwv2210:
Alright, I unlocked my ATT Atrix while it was on the stock 1.8.3 sbf. I installed tenfars CWM next. Then I installed kenns Ginger Blur ROM. After that I flashed back to stock 1.8.3 with the SBF file located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125944

I used this one:

Branding: AT&T US

Version: 1.8.3 Full

Android Version: 2.2.2

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: 4.257.30

Requires RSD Lite 5.0.0

Requires Moto Android (De)packer 1.3 to edit.

My phone no longer said unlocked at boot. I then went on to do the OTA update to 4.5.91 so that I would have gingerbread.

My question is, am I still unlocked? When I try to boot into android recovery, I get a caution symbol with an android standing next to it. I am no longer rooted either. I have read that you need to use CWM in order to root the Atrix on Gingerbread, but I can't use CWM. So will I have to wait?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadwv2210:
I managed to get it rooted via the preinstall.img trick. When I installed ROM manager and flashed CWM it said it flashed successfully. Upon trying to boot into recovery I now get the message "Failed to boot 2." Do I have to unlock it again? I didn't try that first out of fear for bricking. Any help is appreciated
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
You're semi unlocked. Usually you just have to reflash pudding again (but don't need to do the oem unlock). So that would be the first thing I would do.

Next, flash tenfars unlocked CWM (make sure to delete the file that it tells you... installrecovery.sh or something). I would use that rather than the rom manager cwm at this time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadwv2210:

is there any work being done on being able to overclock gpu?, being a gaming orientated phone it seems the obvious thing to try, I've had a look and been unable to find anything about it. gpu overclocks on mobile devices are rather massive from what ive seen thus far.

or has any work for doing this on phones with the same chipset been completed that we could work off in the future?

cheers
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Adreno is part of the scorpion chipset, it's not a dedicated GPU and thus cannot be overclocked independently, obviously overclocking the CPU will help somewhat, with games, but only on performance not graphics :)

[Atrix 4G General] Bagel Bear:
Since updating to Gingerbread, I have had a problem with low resolution games.

On Froyo, low resolution games would hug the corner and display the full screen with a sort of black "L" around it. With this, I would be able to control the whole game with no problem except for the black bordering. On Gingerbread, the game centers in on the screen with a black border all around the game screen. This would be excellent except for the fact that it cuts off some of the game screen making that piece unseen and unable to interacted with.

I'm not sure if this can be fixed or if it can only be solved by the developer updating with scaling in mind. Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone is curious, the game I was playing was Crazy Penguin Catapult.

Very disappointed with this app because:

1. The code is changed every time you use it, so you cant save the code.

2. Everytime the phone is rotated, the code automatically changed, making it disconnect.

3. Its not a simple file manager, just shows all files in one list, takes the P1$$
[Android Apps and Games] gsvnet:
1) It's much more secure to generate a random code every time. I am sure you can see why this is...

2) I experienced this as well, not sure why, but you can obviously avoid this by just keeping the phone in one position .

3) What were you expecting? It's something that is online on a web page, it can't really be a full featured file manager.
