[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
You gotta be kidding me.. such games are already their for android.. people say that: 'with an android phone with you, you dont need to buy those sony handhelds.. '

here is one example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZaMNMBfgr8&feature=fvsr

I am just giving it more time till mango .. if we continue to see current list of sub-par games like 'tic tac toe' and 'tap here to kill an ant and get achievements'.. than unfortunately i will make that switch by June. Because it is not an enterprise phone either, so if it cant help me in work than at least compensate that by bringing in serious entertainment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] seanlindo06:
The OP has a valid gripe. The horsepower is there and the talent is there. These franchises can translate to the phone. I play FIFA and NBA Jam and FPS games on my iPod touch and iphone. Why can't my Focus do the same?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
I just can't freaking stand it.

Starting about three weeks ago I have been having major problems with my Streak doing spontaneous restarts. I tried everything. Nothing worked.

I went as far as to use the Wiki instructions to install a version one generation old on the phone so that it would do an over the air update to the current release, which it did. Didn't help. Whenever I used the phone for a long call or to play a game or use navigation, anything that kept it actually doing something for several minutes, it would start rebooting. Sometimes it would freeze to where I had to pull the battery. I even bought a disposable phone while on vacation so I could have something I could count on.

So last week I called Dell support and described what is going on. When the tech heard the symptoms and that I had already done a factory reset and fresh loads and more factory resets, he quickly decided to replace the phone.

I have had the phone since April 2011 and in May I dropped it in my living room. It has worked perfectly but does have a crack in the glass that is purely cosmetic and is not why I tried to get it replaced. The phone has worked perfectly until recently.

I'm banging my head on the desk because, wouldn't you know it, the phone has been working perfectly since I called in. We didn't do anything, just talked about the phone, and it has had one restart in the last week. As a test, I used the Navigator for the 30 mile commute home from work. My wife called me, the phone answered, worked flawlessly on speaker, and when she hung up the Navigator came right back up as smooth as you could ask for. The one game I play right now (Grave Defense) has worked flawlessly except for one restart in the middle of a game. I couldn't ask for the phone to be better.

So what do I do when the replacement arrives? I'm not sure if I trust the phone not to start screwing up again, but I'm going to be sending back a phone that is apparently working fine but has a cracked glass. We all know the entirely reasonable conclusion they will come to.

So what should I do?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaydog:
Maybe you should call Dell and tell them that the screen is cracked. Find out if they will even take it back. They may not, and wind up charging you for the new one. I've not heard of them doing this, mind you, but it sounds possible.

They may just tell you to send in the old one anyway, but you may as well let them know that the screen is cracked, since they are going to find out when they get it. Hopefully since you already have a return authorization, it wont matter...

Has anyone noticed it seems to be easier to get a replacement since they EOL'd the Streak?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
Maybe they're trying to clear out stock?

I had no problem sending it back with the cracked glass as long as the problem had nothing to do with the glass. Now the damned thing is working, so I have an issue with it.

I really don't understand this phone. I didn't change anything and it is like a different phone.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaydog:
Oh, I thought the screen cracked after you called them.

Nevermind. As long as you disclosed the cracked screen, don't hesitate to send it back. If it was bad once, no reason to think it wont be again.

There are definitely some flaky ones.

From some posts I've read, it does seem as though they are being unusually friendly about returns lately. Prolly just my imagination...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
Oh, I never said I did that. I don't want people to think they are knowingly taking back units with cracked screens. The tech didn't ask if it had ever been dropped and I didn't see the point in volunteering the information as it had nothing to do with the problem I was having. I know that is not exactly taking the high road, but as I said, the screen isn't why I'm exchanging it. I considered swapping my cracked screen and the unbroken one from the replacement and sending my flaky phone back with the good screen, but they would probably notice that the phone had been dismantled and assume that is the source of the problem. I'm between a rock and a hard place here, but it's my own fault. I'm probably going to end up with a bill for the replacement phone, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I'm mostly just astonished at how freaking strange the behavior of this phone is. It was working fine then lost its mind for about three weeks and then decided that it was going to start working the way it is supposed to again with no interference from me. It was flaky in the morning, I did nothing to it, and that afternoon it started behaving itself.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
Well, it froze up good yesterday. Tried everything short of swinging a dead cat over my head in a cemetary at midnight and got it working again, just in time to retire it.

When I got home the replacement was waiting for me. Smooth as silk. I played the hell out of my new favorite time sucking game last night (Stupid Zombies) and not a single hiccup. I'd love to lose some of the extra apps, but I think I am going to leave well enough alone this time. Now I need to find out how much Dell is going to bill me for returning a unit with a cracked screen, but I'll worry about that when it happens.
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
First off, I don't want any fanboy reactions from SGS2 users or what kind of other phone. I'm just wondering why we don't have got it?

Today I played with the Arc of my nephew. And what must I say? We updated to the newest firmware before starting.

I must say that our x10 has received a very very very crappy 2.3.3 update. The Arc has ALMOST NO lags. Everything runs smoother then on our x10. They both got 1Ghz processor, how did this happen?

Also battery life is MUCH better. x10 was on lowest brightness, Arc FULL brightness both connected with wifi. X10 had a simcard, and the Arc not. But damn? Our x10 lost so many % battery in constant use while the Arc just lost 1%!!! X10 has even custom rom...

Both phones similair processor, only newer generation on Arc. Both running same clockspeed. How the heck can our x10 then perform much and much worse?

Just a few things I'm wondering, and NO I'm not going to buy a Arc. I got better things to buy :p

By chance any developer then can fully uncap all FPS to 60 FPS on our x10. Including 3D. I'm not expecting 3D games to run 60FPs but atleast that they will be able to reach the max FPS our GPU can handle if uncapped... The only thing we've got uncapped is 2D graphics, nothing more... And 2D graphics on Arc are still smoother...

Who will be able to make us x10 perform better? Is it kernel related? Arc has newer kernel?

I know thread is a bit messy, but how the heck can a phone with almost similair hardware (just newer generation processor and some new things) perform so much much much better? You can't make me believe that the processor in the Arc is 100% faster... Both same clockspeed just some little improvements for energy and stronger GPU, and the UI has no heavy graphics... Arc = butter smooth in scrolling and all UI related stuff.

I believe SE is capping more then only the FPS?
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Did you know that the Are processor higher than X10, RAM is higher than X10 and GPU performance is higher than X10? What are you talking about? Compare a new phone appears almost 2 years later with the first Android phone from SE?

EDIT: I'm scared of this one
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Better processor would also mean better gpu...

It is the processor completely. Try any phone with that gen, its the same reason those phones can overclock to 1.8 ghz comfortably
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
Hey guys...

My Dell with a 2.4 ghz Pentium IV running win7 runs like crap compared to my Dell with a 2.4 ghz intel core and nvidia gtx 460. Why did Dell give us such an inferior Win7?

I mean, both laptops have the same speed but the core one lasts 4x as long as the old one! They're so similar but it's so *convenient* that the newer one is running win7 better.

Doesn't anyone else think that Dell is crapping our Win7 on purpose? It's a conspiracy folks!

:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] ToonXW:
I guess there are several clarifications needed.

1. X10's brightness is controlled by fluorescent illuminators as compared to Arc's LED backlit. have you ever wondered why sometimes the backlight doesn't dim smoothly? fluorescent illuminated display consumes hell lot more battery as compared to LED. this is rather self explanatory.

2. the process in x10's and arc's processor are different. x10 uses 65nm while arc uses 45nm. power consumption and efficiency in both are obviously different. performance wise, different too.

3. adreno 200 and adreno 205 are of major difference. adreno 205 enables hardware accelerated flash and rendering while 200 does not. adreno 200 is ancient FYI.

4. FPS on the x10 is uncapped to 55. i suppose that doesn't make much difference with 60?
[XPERIA X10 General] zdzihu:
There is no "3d fps cap". This is the actual performance of Adreno200 (compare it with N1) :)

Cheers,

z
[XPERIA X10 General] Oodie:
Can't we overclock our gpu sir ?

And why does it show 280mb ram instead of 384mb ram ?

Sorry if my question is out of topic ..
[XPERIA X10 General] ToonXW:
I don't think there is a way to directly overclock GPU on SoC. it's not like in PC we have a separate graphics card to run graphic rendering.

100MB RAM is dedicated to vRAM.
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
but ram doesnt render the ui? both 1ghz processor why is the x10 so laggy then...
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
you can overclock gpu by overclocking the whole processor. only gpu is not possible :(
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Did you read any of the thread?
[XPERIA X10 General] zdzihu:
No, but as mentioned before, you can overclock the whole chip.

The "missing memory" is used by Linux kernel (dsp, camera, encoder and) and is not accessible by user. This is common :)

Cheers,

z
[XPERIA X10 General] Phrozhen.Khold:
Old technology vs New technology...

go figure.
[XPERIA X10 General] Oodie:
Thanks ToonXW , keizbaby and Z for repling. Got it now :)
[XPERIA X10 General] adham3322:
So is there any way to overclock rhe whole chip on stock 2.3.3
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Why is battery life better on Arc:

X10 65nm CPU vs 45nm on Arc

X10 998MHz @ 1300mV vs 1024MHz @ 1200mV on Arc

Alone these things make it better.

And you forgot to mention that Arc's screen reacts faster/better.

Couldn't type really fast on my X10, it didn't register some touches then. On my Arc I can type really, really fast.

All these things make it better, BUT the Arc is 1 year newer than the X10!

In 1 year hardware makes huge steps forward.
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
It reacts better because it has better fps and multi touch...
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
Custom kernels... We wait for semc sources...
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Already overclock CPU speed to 1.3GHz, install custom ROM if you want it.

The differences between the X10 and Arc are CPU, RAM, GPU. Same CPU name with different code 200-205, RAM: 384/512, GPU is included on CPU so new CPU technology mean better GPU. That why everything on ARC is smoother than X10. You must know exactly what you are talking about, not only the value of processor.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
The x10 is pretty damn smooth now, I get all day usage from it, constantly on WiFi. The people complaining must have forgotten what 1.6 was like, it's night and day now.
[General Questions and Answers] tjoannou2001:
Hi guys

I have a galaxy s2 and im having problems with the battery. In the battery usage section the most that takes up the energy from the battery is the display. Even lowering the brightness settings the display is still sky high. Now having flashed it few times the warranty has now gone. Tried different roms and still the display on my galaxy is like 45 to 55 percent. Some say its normal some say its not. Once i fully charge the phone within minutes the battery starts getting drained. Seriously what is wrong with it and what can i do to resolve it. Im past my month that i could send the phone back and samsung obviously will find out its been tampered with ie me flashing it

Is there anything i can do to solve the problem with firmware or am i stuck with a faulty phone and just make the most of it till something else comes along?

Any help or ideas will be appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
The battery might be dying. How old is the battery? Li-ion batteries will work for 3 years or so only regardless of whether you used it or not.

The display might be taking up so much battery because that's how you use the phone. ie you don't use much of other battery heavy stuff. Make sure you have a low timeout for battery as well.
[General Questions and Answers] killall:
The display battery usage will be relative to how much screen on time you have. If you are having problems with how long your battery lasts, download BetterBatteryStats (from my sig) and run it for 24 hours or so then check the wake locks to see if any rogue apps are draining your battery.

If you want to return the phone. You can always flash the stock rom and if you buy a USB jig from ebay, you can reset the counter, so Sammy shouldn't know that you have flashed any roms.

For further tips about your battery, why not look at some of the custom rom threads, like Villainrom. They have very good battery stats and there are plenty of tips in the thread.

Hope this helps:)
[General Questions and Answers] tjoannou2001:
well i have it charging at the moment and i am using cognition rom and the phone is like sleeping as we saying. i quickly went into battery usage and display is like 85 %.

Shall i charge it to the max calibrate it then wipe battery stats and let it drain out till its empty fully charge it and then use it till the end of the week and then post a picture of how it went for you guys to see and you give me your ideas on it?

thanks again i really appreciate your opinions
[General Questions and Answers] killall:
I have never bothered calibrating my Battstats, but it makes some people feel better.:rolleyes:

As I said above, the percentage used by display is relative.

If your phone has been on for 24 hours since charge and your display is 85%, then you have a major problem, as your screen on time must be massive.

However if it is 10 minutes since charge and the display is 85% then that probably equates to a few minutes screen on time.

Once you are charged. Run the phone for as long as possible then post screenshots of the Battery Usage (both pages):)
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Agreed with killall. Battery stats are relative. Say you have used your for ten minutes after charging and the screen was on for 5 minutes or more, an 85% for display is nothing big.

Like he said, see the overall performance of the battery and its life. Display percentage doesn't make that much of a difference if you use your display a lot. I mean if you don't do much CPU intensive gaming or stay connected to wifi and stuff.

Hi since yesterday im having a problem with my phone. Everytime im going to download something from the market it gives me and error saying i dont have enough space. Thats wrong cause i have formated the internal and external memories and i have only a few apps installed like facebook and the xda app. Is anyone having this kind of trouble?? And what can i do??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
If you look at the OP for the Weapon rom it will tell you how to fix:

6. If you get insufficient space where when downloading from the market there are a few things you can do which have been reported to solve the problem.

~ Clear market cache

~ Boot into clockwork recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache

~ Boot into clockwork recovery and format /data

That is pasted from there and it worked for me.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crexa:
I think I have little buggy phone. It works normal only with original firmwares. I was unable to run Plants vs Zombies on any alternative ROM. But I've found that before first reboot I can run it after installing the Simple Streak 1.3 beta 4. But after reboot it became not working. Only things I do after installation is registering on market, installing titanium backup and batch installing Plants vs Zombies from backup.

Is there any solution to keep it running?

Can't write in developement forum cause has not enough posts.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crexa:
One of two - or the reason is titanium backup or the first boot installation is avoided.

It is running stable after installation after the first reboot. So if you have problems with alternative firmwares - I recommend this!

P.S. no chainfire 3d B&W bug!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Good thing you can't post in the Development Forum yet. The Development Forum isn't where you go to get help. Where you posted this is where you get help.

Titanium Backup is a pig in pig s#!^, and if you searched the forums for Titanium Backup you'll find a number of users recommending not to use it. The other issue you have is that you're using a beta of Simple Streak. The current stable release is 1.2. The beta may have bugs in it rendering it unstable. If you're looking for stable, bleeding edge software isn't the way to go. But I digress.

Ditch Titanium Backup, since its backups don't restore properly on the Streak (and other devices as well). That would be most likely the reason for your issues. I would recommend changing your ROM as well.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crexa:
Thank you for avoiding me from using Titanium Backup. I had some doubts about it before, but used it. Now I won't.

About another rom - I've had issues with Streakdroid 1.7.1, 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 and had NO issues other than described above (that is stands for Titanium backup, not rom itself). So I don't think it is right to change it for something other. I have some wishes about 1.3 Simple Streak they are - i/o tweak as in streakdroid (it removes lag when scrolling big files/images lists) and boot.img that is tweaked as for streakdroid 1.9.0/1 for additional memory from internal sd card.

And I have one question about another issue that I think is not comes from the ROM - all programs download from internet without issues, sites loads good, but stock browser and opera browser rarely can download any file from the internet. Why?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's not an issue of right or wrong in the case of the ROM. I simply gave my opinion. :)

I have no idea what could be causing your browser issues, and I couldn't even begin to try to find out. I don't use Streakdroid or any of the alternate ROMs, preferring to modify a stock version of 351 to suit my own preferences by removing the Stage UI and most of the added apps included in the ROM.

[General Questions and Answers] xmeister2k2:
I have a LG Optimus P500 installed with Cyagongen7 and a pile of apps configed and want to 'clone' the install to a new LG Optimus P500.

I will use Clockworkmod to backup/restore.

I assume I would do something along the following:

1. Backup existing phone using CWM.

2. Root and Install Clockworkmod on new phone.

3. Boot into CWM on new phone.

4. Copy the existing SD card from installed phone to SD card on new phone - this has backup and apps2sd

Now I'm not sure what to do as far as resetting settings from the clone - should I reset battery stats and format davlik cache? Will the backup contain any phone specific ID (other than the Google ID) that needs to be clear or does Android figure that out?

Thanks ahead of time.

I did this with my Desire, when I had to return it for repair.

Once my new phone was rooted, I copied over the nandroid backup to the sd card, wiped dalvik, wiped data/reset, then restored backup and it worked fine.
