[Atrix 4G General] :
Ok, since everyone seems to be having a difficult time understanding this thread. As well as thinking it's pointless. The htc hd2 and the atrix can decode 1080p without the slightest trouble what so ever while using a "HARDWARE DECODER". What my thread is about is showing the fact that the hd2 has a more powerful processor while using a ""SOFTWARE DECODER" than the atrix. It can achieve the same playback performance at a significantly lower clock speed than the atrix. What this means to you people who don't understand is that the HD2 will use LESS power than the atrix while watching the same exact movie. If I'm not communicating this point clealy enough. Someone who can more clearly describe this phenomenon. Please do so. I'll post some videos showing my procedures as well as results as soon as I can.

For some extra information that I have posted several times already. Is the fact that both these devices can decode 1080p without a single problem at extremely low cpu frequencies while using a hardware decoder. The fact that these devices love the .mp4 format and especially h.264 AVC .mp4 files.

PS - I hope you people don't think I'm trying to be confrontational. I'm stating results from my simple experiment. You don't have to like it, if you don't want to. Also, please don't post pointless comments. If you have a question, please ask. If I can't answer it, I'm sure someone else can.
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
I understand what you're saying. I just don't think an HD2 could play smoothly at less than 400 MHz. Lol

I also think that most people are just happy that their Atrix plays smoothly at the highest clock, regardless of whether it's hardware or software decoding or how much power it uses. The purpose of this thread doesn't really stick with people because most couldn't care less as long as it plays videos fine--no offense to you or this thread.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Your right. I guess I just tend to test pointless things like this. Since I upgraded to the atrix from my hd2 and I noticed I could do the same thing with my hd2 and use less battery. Like playing games at perfectly acceptable framerates at lower clocks for longer periods of time. I suppose the atrix is not a perfect device. I can't wait until the next gen hd2 comes out. Does anyone know anything about the EVO 3D? isn't it like the next gen hd2? Dual core 1.2Ghz Qualcomm cpu etc I don't know anything about the device.

By the way in regards to the below post. The hd2 sucked with windows mobile. I was constantly pulling my hair out using it. Finally switched to android and obviously, it's an incredible device.

[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
It's just testing for testing's sake. I test different setups and tunings on my basses from time to time and it has no purpose. Lol

Yeah, the 3D has a 1.2 dual core in it with a GB of RAM. A GSM version with AT&T 3G bands is supposedly coming out sometime this year. It's so tempting to wait for that instead of the next iPhone.
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
To the Op. Please don't forget to post a link showing CM7 + Kholk's Kernel too(since you clearly states that you used it).

I play games for hours(literally) on my ATRIX and I am very pleased with its performance and its battery life. What's the battery storage capacity of the HD2 compared to the ATRIX again?
[Atrix 4G General] kartik50:
This won't be accurate, but lets do a few calculations. The Atrix has 960x540 pixels to handle. The HD2 has 800 x 480. A quick calculation reveals that the Atrix is driving 50% MORE pixels than the HD2. On this alone, it's more efficient than the HD2. But then we find out that the HD2 is driving a screen that is .3 inches larger than the Atrix.

So, to find out just exactly how many more square inches it is powering, we will need pythagoras.

If the Atrix is in 16:9 ratio, then a=1 and 7/9 B . The hypotenuse is 4.0 . A squared plus b squared is the same as (1 + 7/9)x squared + 1x squared is equal to 4. This is equal to 3.16049383x plus 1x which is equal to 4. Therefore, we know that x is roughly about 1.

Yeah haha, I've gone wrong somewhere, feel free to correct :)
[Atrix 4G General] xnickx5757:
correct me if I am wrong but doesn't screen size have nothing to do with it? I thought that only the resolution determines how much power you need to drive it.

ie. it takes the same amount of power to drive a 800x600 resolution on a 4 inch phone as it does on a 55 inch tv
[Atrix 4G General] m0biusace:
You have definitely gone wrong somewhere. Only resolution, NOT SCREEN SIZE, impacts rendering performance.

And its HILARIOUS how defensive Atrix owners are about their phones.
[Atrix 4G General] diedemus:
In this argument larger = higher pixelcount which absolutely effects performance. Running an 800x600 video on a 1024x768 screen is still scaling the source to 1024x768

And in terms of a cellphone the larger screen effects power consumption.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Why this is thread still being posted in? Let it die
[Atrix 4G General] :
The Atrix is a much better phone in almost every way imaginable. The HD2 can decode the same file at a much lower frequency in software decoding mode than the atrix. It's like Comparing a top of the line old generation single core desktop processor to a 1st generation dual core cpu. The older top of the line single core can out perform the newer cpu in old apps which may be more optimized for that older, more timely perfected processor. However MX Video player is specifically built to use the dual cores on the tegra 2 yet the HTC HD2's Qualcomm chip outperforms the atrix under software decode. Who know's why that is? The most logical explanation is that the HD2's qualcomm cpu for some reason outperforms the Coretex A9 dual core which by the way is the fastest most powerful mobile chip on the planet at the moment. Just an FYI.

Also, regarding the atrix's battery life. It has a larger mAh rating than the HD2. If you were to set the atrix display to 1% and set the cpu to the minimum playable rate for that specific video at 608Mhz compared to the HD2 at 1% display brightness and it's minimum playable frequency of 384Mhz. I suspect the HD2 of consuming less ma's than the ATRIX therefore is more efficient. Since the HD2's battery is 400 mAh smaller I believe (don't hold me to that). It may playback for equal to or more than the ATRIX.

By the way, this is just a dumb myth buster type experiment just for fun. Quite interesting in my honest opinion though. Because honestly I would always expect the Atrix to outperform any other device in every single way imaginable.

I know vibe for music and bookstore worked before but now, it's stop working. Perhaps abandoned by Asus due to low popularity or related to 3.2 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
since it seems the majority just want to run ICBINB ( per the massive amounts of pm's i get about this) and some thread post heres how to to it

You need

The following apks

from Audiophile

DialerTab

Phone

settings

mp3

mms

contacts

alarmclock

Framework-res

Twframework

any apk u want out of audiophile u need to overwrite in ICBINB

IF you want the quick launch pull downs

what you will need to do is in the ICBINB framework and tw framework is to pull the color xml out of the apk (use 7z or winrar)

and replace them in the audiophile ones just for the color

once thats done replace those files in the ICBINB rom reflash enjoy

Thats if you want the look if you want the sound tweaks you need to replace the entire system from audiophile over icbinb and reflash mainly the section that deals with cough audio cough

now you have ICBINB audio edition

problem: battery drain on my x8. gdx v007

tried full wipe, clearing battery stats, charging fully and calibrating the battery but still drain persists.. battery lasts only 4 less than 24 hours. (i only use my phone in texting, wifi is off)

note: i set smartass as my governor.

if i delete the dsp manager using TB, will I still be able to use my headset/headphone? because there is a note that my phone wont run normally if i uninstalled it and may cause to reflash my rom again..

someone suggested that i delete the dsp manager to lessen the drain because as what i have seen, it is always included on the running programs in applications.

thanks..

[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:

[HTC EVO 3D] SpartanEvo:
Signal significantly effects battery life. The more the radio fluctuates between signals and loss/recovery of signal the faster battery will drain.

I update my PRL at least once a week to receive new tower & roaming updates...

[HTC EVO 3D] DualSportDad:
i was out riding my motorcycle yesterday and didn't have great signal the whole time. i chewed through 2 stock batteries yesterday. while sitting at Hooters with my phone on the table it would go back and fourth between roaming about once a minute.

needless to say i'm going to try to get it changed out tomorrow for a Photon, that was the last straw.
[HTC EVO 3D] rustyshack3:
You are right, but you dont have to frequently update your PRL. Your device will find new towers even if they arent in your current PRL. The only time the PRL really matters is if your carriers gains a completely new roaming partner.
[HTC EVO 3D] gmelchert:
pretty much, the less bars you have, the more power your phone has to use to get the signal.

My phone is on a death bed right now with this signal.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Was the same on the Evo 4G. Weak signal = battery gets raped. I wish they'd put a limit on the current draw. The phone can draw as much as 1 full amp of power searching for/holding a signal in fringe areas.

[Vega General] 4.3:
hey guys

is there a way to make the external micro SD card primary, and make everything download to it with out having to move apps to it manually...?

can understand why they would sell a tablet without a decent amount of memory...
[Vega General] yani2000:
I don't know how to move already installed apps to SD, but I think I have a solution for future installations of apps.

I have a special version of SpareParts that has an app2sd option and you can set that to external. Maybe this option is already working and you actually don't need SpareParts, don't know for sure.

WARNING: Some apps have widgets/persistent notification process or have a background process running. These apps should NOT be on external storage (microSD card)!

You will need to go thru each app and decide for yourself if it can be on your SD card!

You may try Link2SD. It would help you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
Is the continuous autofocus in video recording for SGS2 ONLY works in 1080p?

I know its impressive to be able to record in 1080p with continuous autofocus,

but for me, 720x480 is sufficient

if i set the resolution lower than 1080p, the camera doesn't auto focus any more in video recording.

Am i the only one facing this problem?

is my unit defected or with software problem?

Please let me know whether you guys able to get video focus in lower resolutions.

Thanks!! :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunteres:
for me its more less the same..the autofocus is there but u cant notice it that much...i think lower res means that the camera doesnt need to focus 2 much on details :) less pix less focus :) correct me if i am wrong

but yeh u can feel it a lot more with 1080p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
Hello hunteres,

Thanks for replying :-)

I'm very sure there is no autofocus in the lower resolution,

start video recording outside my house (very far, focus at infinite)

put a book infront of cam, about 10inch away (focus change to macro, words on book become clear.

(only works in 1080, doesn work in 480)

Its weird that the 1.2GHz dual core able to record at 1080p but not 480p

I'm a huge fan of using kitchen to modify a rom to my liking and i always share my work(my contribution to AOSP). if it is not supported this may sway my decision. I've done tuns of MODS (mostly UOT kitchen work) and tuns of helping developers as well as fellow users. coming from evo4g to evo3d i am concerned with the amount of work that is being done and will be done with photon. thank you for reading my rant.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
Every apk you remove from system/app starts working again when you put it back no problem. Some apk's rely on a service provider app, that's the only tricky part.

It's funny you mention the YouTube app, because in my thread somebody wanted it back. I just installed the removed apk from sdcard (it gets placed in data/app) and it worked perfectly again.

If you can delete it on Mini Pro, you can delete it on the Mini. Had no complaints of people missing stuff yet, most people only use the basic functions of the phone anyway.

Did I research every apk I removed? Definately not but there's dozens of threads on what's safe to remove and I just used those as a guide, judging by how I used the phone myself.

pay attention to these:
