Once, again, it is valid, because your suggestion is an impossible solution. Even if a specific apps is on multiple OS'es, they are not exactly the same. This is why they are called Ports. It also doesn't matter. That's a Dual Core SoC with a better GPU. WP7 is a completely 3D UI. That means the old Adreno 200 GPU is a major limitation compared to the Dual Core Android's device. There's just no way a Dual Core system with twice the RAM should be slower other than the OS'es performance issues. Anyone that understands how hardware works & knows what all these specs mean would see this. Also, even if both a 1st Gen Snapdragon & 3rd Gen Dual Core Snapdragon are both 1 GHz. The newer Dual core would be faster as they always are enhancing the work done per clock cycle. Perfect example, AMD CPU's are not as fast as Intel's. Although, AMD provide more performance for the $1. You want better value, you go AMD. You don't care about price, but want extreme performance, you buy Intel.

EDIT: Also, we are not talking about browser comparisons. We're talking about Entire OS Performance. Big difference, also, browsers perform differently depending on which page you are on & what they were coded for. Some website are designed specifically for a certain browser & will give better performance for that browser. Similar to how nVidia tried screwing over ATI by getting video game designers to code their games specifically for nVidia Video Cards making them performs slower on ATI Cards.

EDIT2: Also, sorry for the thread jacking. Vetvito, if you want to debate this more. Let's do it in this thread;

"WP7 Smoother than Dual Core Tegra2 Android Device...Proof"

where it'd be on topic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
No once again. You guys just don't get it. It wouldn't be impossible and it wouldn't be a port.

It would be similar to the browser testing website. It runs equal test.

Im done, no more from me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
@vetvito and @drkfng

As long as both applications do the same thing - they are equal to me. Don't care about brand, don't care how are they coded - it is matter of the platform, what options (and how easy are they to use) does it offer after all.

Android has some serious performance issues and instead optimalizing current code and JVM at Google, OEMs rather use new and not needed hardware. If they would do optimalizations (hinting at Samsung with their HW GPU acceleration? Or whatever they did on SGS and SGS2?), it would run good.

Moto Atrix is absolute perfomance joke and fail.

I would be fine with something like 1.2GHz Snapdragon (SINGLECORE), better GPU, at 32nm. Almost 0 power usage, yet enough perfomance for phone. Keep dualcores and quads to tablets.

well in this video @ 4:24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gaDp1Jft60&feature=player_embedded they are using pinch to zoom and its in the broswer which is android not some third party or oem and once again its jerky and lags and displays checker board. face it Android is badly coded...
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
When you understand the difference between monolith and modular design you can talk about how badly something is coded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
I don't need to know the difference to know that the poor performance from android is based on poor coding... and WP7 is proof that if you properly code something and optimize it for the hardware you are using then you do not have any of the issues that android has which is not just limited to the pinch and zoom and scrolling try the multi-tasking approach they used having to reboot your phone because you are out of memory or constantly killing tasks tell me this is a great way of coding something...
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Agree, the truth of the matter is many WM users went to Android for a main reason. It took over where WM left off. Sadly, it kept the same performance/buggy platform issues. The perfect proof of this is all these custom ROM's. The only reason to flash a custom WP7 ROM? Customization/Unlock/Homebrew/etc. There's no need for custom ROM's per say other than for the ability to hack the OS. Android/WM, you flashed ROM's for that as well as performance tweaks & numerous other reasons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
huh?....if it's not a review why even bother to post a video on CNET? Everything she posted on CNET is considered by many as professional advice...which she is lacking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HackMimic:
That is so true. That's why i ripped on her on CNET. They need to get rid of her soccer mom ass. lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Let me ask you this how the apps coded in non-native code perform? I.e. Facebook app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
In WP7 it works just fine and in mango it worked even better without any code changes everyone with a wp7 phone that upgraded to mango can tell you that mango made all wp7 phones even faster and smoother when it comes to all the functions discussed i.e. scrolling, pinch and zoom etc... Android I couldn’t tell you but if it relies on android os it’s most likely crappy..

You show me 1 video displaying any android phone with smooth scrolling (no jerking) or pinch and zoom (and no lag) and then your point would be proven...

My 11 month old can navigate to Netflix for his favorite movie or to the music/videos/picture hub for whatever he wants to look at. He can even scroll down on the menu to a coloring book app which is pinned to the start screen. Ladies and gentlemen, my 11 month old is more technologically adept than a CNET employee.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:

[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Looks pretty smooth, "for an Android device," but nothing compared to how smooth & fast my HD7 is.

LOL, thanks for this! ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
Every custom rom I have used has been optimised.. i.e. one big lag fix..
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
There's no doubt, ROM's out there that fix some or even all the issues. The problems is though that the average Android user has no clue what XDA & flashing ROM's even is. The point here is WP7 performs the same across all devices. Equal user experience unlike Android where some devices are "Okay," while others are complete garbage. The only WP7 exception I can think of is the Samsung Focus firmware update issues or the possibility to get a bad device which happens on all OS's. You get a bad Flash (ROM not Adobe) or just a bad chip somewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
What does it mean?

Your HD7 can complete a half marathon while my old vibrant scrolls to the end of the app list?

I've seen 4 WP7 devices in the wild in NYC, the only glimpse of the UI I've noticed are the flying dots across the screen while something is being loaded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
OMG it's so choppy and uresponsive, nothing compared to my LG E900!

Just kidding :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Those "flying dot's" are when information is being gathered via Data. If I'm at home & on WiFi, those dots are only briefly display. If I'm out & about, they are there for a longer period of time. What I mean is that, I could of done that lil demonstration in maybe 1/2 the time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Maybe is a weak word.

Plus you can't - it was a demo of flash loading time, you can't do it on your device.

Hello I just got the Samsung Galaxy S2 from bell and I was wondering if there is a step by step guide out for rooting and unlocking the Sim so I can use this on Rogers?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
1) Root the phone using CFROOT/ you will have to flash a custom "rooted kernel" , search for CFroot and thats how you root. Beware that once u flash the rooted kernel theres no way to go back to the bell kernel

2) install galaxy s unlock by helroz from the market, it works perfect and will unlock the phone for free.

3) profit???

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
I really hope someone can help me out here. I have x10mini pro. I am on stock rom,build2.1.1.a.0.6,standard (never tried custom yet) but now that I see a lot of interesting Rom's I would like to try one. Here's what I did; installed Xrecovery via AAIS, then CWM and now the dual-recovery zip. (I also tried xrec/cwm seperately) So I can chose to use XREC or CWM. Now here's my problem; I am unable to install ANY Rom I have tried so far (gingerbread roms's i.e Gintonic.se but also 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 which is a normal 2.1 rom and flashable via xrec only) won't install.

Everytime I get:

cant open /sdcard/Roms/x.zip 'installation aborted' (bad) I have tried a different SD card (standard) but the same problem persists....I can not believe I am unable to install a custom ROM but I am completely stuck with my problem. I am rooted/xrec working/cwm working...I can install small updates (ie cwm via xrec&dual-recovery.zip) but NOT a complete Rom...Whywhywhy...It is driving me crazy!!! Can someone from this fantastic forum help me please?

its not problem with baseband but its problem while copying his zip from computer to his sd card

check md5 after tranfer your zip to sd card

Edit : just keep live this thread till he gets problem solved but can be moved to Q&A not close so let him get help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kormatoes:
Were in pm so no need for this

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mukptl:
thanks for help and hope that he got solved his problem

but its can be helpfull others too if it was problem solved on open thread then solved in pm

so if next time some get problem like that then it can be helpfull for others too
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kormatoes:
Yes your right this is not solved would some 1 like to help his zip is failing I would now try cwmr3

But got to go to work now

;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
Thanks for trying to help me as well mukptl! How can I check MD5 after copying? You know what is also strange? when I make a backup in cwm i get an error saying: "no /sdcard/.android_secure found.

Skipping backup of applications on external storage...backing up cache.... no sd-ext found (normal, dont have ext partition on my sd's)

generating md5 sum....backup complete!" I am able to run recovery with this though. Still not able to install any rom's I have tried to install via cwm/xrecovery...not even a 2.1 rom:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] flex96:
don#t copy your rom in a file folder

only copy the zip to SD

like /sdcard/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mukptl:
wen you back up your phone with cwm its back up also your app on your sd ext if you have so if you dont have sd ext then it say no sd ext found

thats nomal i think

for md5 check there is many software to calculate md5 just search on google and download on your pc

then calculate md5 of you downloaded zip on your pc

then copy the zip on your sd card then calculate md5 of the zip on sd card

if its comes dif then previous one then your zip isnt copyed well
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
I downloaded on my PC first. I tried with rom on my sd card directly as well...tried with 3 sd cards (class 2/4)...all the same problem. Somehow xrecovery/cwm can not open these files...but I am able to install small update files (also when they are in a directory on my sd) for instance cwm recovery/dual-recovery.zip ...same file extension, same way of coping to my sd...somehow it must have something to do with the files/sd card but what?? Went back to stock via seus...xrecovery via aais, installed cwm via xrecovery...same problem still...I am going insane...I really want to be able to install a custom rom:mad:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mukptl:
wen you able to install small update files then its not a problem with cwm or recover or any baseband

i think wen you copy your big zip files its not copied well

for be sure its copied well check md5

start from here for troubleshoot the problem

Edit : operating sys on your pc ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ameijer:
I will google now for md5 calculator..no experience with it but I know what you mean so I will try...I am using xp pro

edit: ok md5 does not match between file on my pc and file on my sd..really do not know why but looking for it..maybe I should extract and then create the archive directly to my sd card or something? any help is welcome!

Edit2: I finally found a solution, it was simple in the end.. I formatted sd again, downloaded files again en checked them after moving to sd. All is fine now, I am running gintonic by slade..perfect so far! Thread can be closed. Thanks for your help!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discodancers:
Weird situation where buffering youtube videos on my Asus Transformer is very very slow. Great wireless connection and do not have any issues with my HTC SENSATION! Any suggestions? Watching youtube on a tablet is one of my main reasons for buying it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowjin:
Option 1: what worked for me was letting the router choose its own channel.. before, i had it locked into a specific channel and had the same issue with buffering. Even a 1 minute video with the CNN app would make it buffer multiple times.

On your Transformer, disconnect from the wireless network (forget network on TF101) after changing your settings on the router, re-connect the TF101. (everything set to Wireless N only mode in the router) channel width and channel BOTH set to auto.

DNS 1: 8.8.8.8.

DNS 2: 8.8.4.4.

save and reboot router. Connect the Transformer.

Option 2:

Recently, i used a WiFi analyzer application to help me choose a channel, than went to my routers webpage and choose channel 6, on wireless N only, 20Mhz only, DNS1 8.8.8.8, DNS2 8.8.4.4 save settings, reboot router and (forget network on TF101) and reconnect the Transformer after your online again.. It seam to work perfect.

I do pause YouTube for about 2-3 seconds (high quality mode on YouTube selected) and hit play. Before, it would buffer constantly. Almost like it would stop downloading and i had to hit pause for it to start. Even the Videos on CNN that are 2-5minutes take a few seconds and dont require any 2-3 second pause.

extra info worth reading:

http://www.ingallscomputerservices....-on-the-24-mhz-band-channel-and-channel-width

They have a chart that might help you choose which channel to set the router on. (if selecting auto doesnt help and you try option 2).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] discodancers:
A useful read however it did not resolve the issue I have with buffering. Initially loads (buffers) and then plays for 17 seconds ish before buffering again. Any other suggestions would be welcomed
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
There is a bug in 3.2 that causes the device to try and renew the dhcp every couple of minutes. That could be messing with your connection. The solution is to use a static ip for your wifi connection. I have a dlink router; all I had to do was to reserve a dhcp for the transformer. Then go into the transformer settings->wifi, press and hold the wifi connection to get into modify network and set it to static ip.

I also set the transformer network dns to be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

The combination of these two has eliminated 95% of the buffering issues.
