[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Qualcomm's S3, or 1st Gen dual core snapdragons are asynchronous, meaning most of the time only 1 core is active, for energy reasons. The phone is still fast, its just that the benchmarks don't push the CPU to activate both cores, making the score lower than normal. The SGSII on the other hand, has both cores on all the time, which is bad for battery, but processes get split b/t the 2 cores, making it really fast all the time too.

"Qualcomm’s implementation of asynchronous processing as key to the dual-core chips leading performance and lower power consumption as both cores do not need to be used for lower-powered tasks."

I know I say this all the time, well recently anyway, but you should get a native ICS device instead, they'll be worth it more. Normally I don't get things with the 1st series of its kind, I would wait till mobile dual cores get better, which they have since 1.5GHz+ duals, are coming later this year, Q4. And you might also want that 720P HD screen, and no buttons, and smaller bezel and all that stuff...
[General Questions and Answers] iliketoplaymusic:
I would wait for the Galaxy S II. Simply because it's awesome. :D
[General Questions and Answers] MattDrumz:
That doesn't make much sense to me. I've seen from a couple people that the battery life on the HTC Sensation 4G isn't very good, but the battery life on the Samsung Galaxy S2 is pretty good.

And also, I haven't really kept up-to-date with all the new phones, and I have no idea when a phone with ICS will be out. I'd like to get a new phone as soon as possible, as I'm getting kind of tired of my MyTouch 3G. Its been a good phone, but it is just too outdated and slow now.
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
The battery life is supposed to be better since it's asynchronous now, meaning both cores aren't used unless needed for the process or app. My point before was that the benchmark isn't making both cores activate, leading to only 1 being on-so the overall score would be lower than the Exynos in the SGSII.
[General Questions and Answers] MattDrumz:
Oh, I get what you're saying now. I'm still leaning towards waiting for the SGSII.
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Both phones are great, but the Hercules, which if turns out to be the SGSII will be worth the wait...But if the N Prime comes out around the SGSII release, get that instead.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I'd go for the dell venue pro personally :-p
[General Questions and Answers] M2oSa:
With Tmobie, the Galaxy SII will be like.. 4.5" screen ... That's big .. Too big for a cell phone...

I'm on the same case and I'll be buying an Htc Sensation tomorrow, since I can't wait ;)

I'm on TMobile.

Thanks ;)
[General Questions and Answers] sygeek:
I would suggest you wait for SGSII. It will be worth it.

Also, keep an eye on the release dates of Prime. If both of their release dates coincides by a fair margin (I doubt this), then go with the latter phone.
[General Questions and Answers] yamchirobe:
Get the g2x
[General Questions and Answers] MattDrumz:
From what people are saying, I think I will go with the SGSII, unless the Nexus Prime comes out at the same time.

Does anybody know if the release date for the SGSII is still supposed to be October 26th? I was hoping it would be released in September like it was rumored it would. Also, do you think it will be about $200 with an upgrade when it comes out?

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make the right decision.

[Motorola Photon 4G] gajendarksky:
It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.

I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.

When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.

Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
[Motorola Photon 4G] shawn328:
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way :) And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Hey buddy aren't you from Hero Land??
[Motorola Photon 4G] iazv8:
I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
[Motorola Photon 4G] evolart:
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Been using ADW launcher pro for 4 days now without any issues :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gajendarksky:
Update...

It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB:confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] gajendarksky:
How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gpgorbosjr:
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.

I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).

99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....

Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!

Glad you found the problem!

[Android Apps and Games] SnakeHaveYou:
Hi, i found this app:

Whereis Navigator (Market Link)

Seems to be a Garmin GPS app :)

For non Telstra users, it's only accessible with Market Enabler, so i downloaded it from Market, but you can't use it because it says that is "

Unable to verify account information at this time.

"

Obviously, that is because i'm not a Telstra customer. If you open the app with WiFi enabled, it ask you to Disable it, and use 2G/3G instead. Just like the AT&T apps in stock Captivate..

Is there any way to trick this app, so you can use it without being a Telstra customer?

For Latin American users, maybe this app would be important, because in small towns we don't have detailed maps from Google Maps, or from others (in some towns, they are outdated too). We use community maps that only works with Garmin and Papago (and Papago lacks a lot of features)

Thanks!

[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Make sure you have window animation speed set to normal with spare parts. Changing it stops crt animation from working.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Does this apply to all ROMs, because I have window animation speed set to slow, and my CRT animations work fine (CM7).
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Sorry that should read "may stop CRT animation from working."

It was a problem on certain ROMs I tried. Not all of them though.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richo:
Hi, do you know what means "SE Flash Olympus"?, it's shown in RDSLite when I connected my Atrix in RDS mode. This Atrix is from Telcel / Mexico

I'm trying to unlock the boot loader, but the process always fails, I also tried the .sbf file for international phones.

Thank you for your help,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwick60073:
The "SE" in "SE Flash" means secure engineering. In the past, this type of hardware would allow non-signed builds be flashed. However, I'm not sure this is the case with Android devices.

If you're having trouble unlocking your bootloader, please expand on the issues you're seeing. What SBF did you use? What build is your phone currently running? What OTA builds have been flashed? What procedure are you following? Where did it fail?

Good luck
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
Mine came up with SE Olympus and mine rooted, bootloader unlocked and flashes roms just fine.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richo:
This is the info:

The sbf file, is the one in the International section of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261&highlight=pudding

RDSLite version: 5.3.1

Motorola Media Link Drivers: 5.0.1

Atrix already rooted with GingerBreak

The Atrix info:

System Version: Blur_Version.0.43.3.MB860.AmericaMovil.en.MX

Revision Number: 03

Model number: MB860

Andriod Version: 2.2.1

Motrola WebTop version: OSHWT_U1_6.18.0

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-00004-g7297c72

Build Number: OLYLA_U4_0.43.0

These are the steps to reproduce the error:

1.- Power down your Motorola Atrix

2.- Take out your microSD card and SIM card for the flashing process

3.- While turning the phone on, hold the Volume Up button until it acknowledges RSD

4.- Your device will say “Starting RSD protocol support”

5.- Run “RSD Lite” on your computer

6.- Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”

7.- Load up the SBF file (intl-fix-try1.sbf)

8.- Plug your device into your computer

RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…” (Here is where RDSLite recognize Atrix as SE Flash Olympus)

9.- Press the “Start” button

Then the status in RDSLite becomes from "in process" to "fail"

SE Flash Olympus

I tried this plus zomgunlock-lite.sbf using rsd-lite and sbf_flash.

on rsd-lite, the phone won't instantiate onto win7 because there is no driver for 'SE Flash Olympus'. So i tried searching for this on the internet but nothing really meaning showed up. But ...

on sbf_flash (in linux), the procedure threw up a sec_exception and it failed.

My guess is the most likely scenario is that 'SE Flash Olympus' just means that the phone is secured i.e. it required a sbf to be signed properly such that it matches that of the phone. Because the sbf were from 'other' sources, i suspect they will only work on NS Flash type devices. (hint NS -- non-secure ?)

Señores,

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema ¿alguien ya lo resolvió?

I have the same problem. I was trying to install CM7, so I flashed the ClockWorkRecovery, when I rebooted the phone into recovery mode, happened exactly what nachicocum says.

So I downloaded the OLYFR_U4_1.2.6_etc file and tried to flash it using RSDLite.

When I go to RSDLite it recognizes the phone, but the wierdest thing is, when I "open" (using the three dot icon in RSDLite) it doesn't show the file properties, and the Start button stays grayed.

I know it doesn't have anything to do with the drivers (I have the drivers), the RSDLite performs the same wether the phone is connected or not to the USB port.

[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Hi all,

I have the following problem. When I first used weather widget it automatically detected my location as Ontario without the name of a city. < for those of you who are not familiar with Canada's geography Ontario is actually a province and not a city :) >

I live in Toronto so I added it manually and set it as default . However the Sense 3.0 weather lock screen still shows Ontario and not Toronto and there is no way to edit it :( I looked around and didnt find another thread similar to this plz help

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
this ALWAYS happens to me whenever i flash a new rom, i live in toronto, and it always starts as ontario...just do a full sync a few times (make sure weather is checked on) and it should show up no problem...if not, do the 2/3 syncs, reboot and it should be fine

EDIT* worse case scenario if none of that works, open internet, go to google and do a search, and when it asks to save your location, say remember, and then sync weather and it will show
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Hey thanks for the reply I tried syncing 2-3 times but still get the same :( also what do you mean by 2/3 sync? should I sync 2 times and then reboot during 3rd :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
lol my bad i meant 2-3 (as in two-to-three times)... if its still not working after all that, try clearing the cache for the weather app (go to settings-applications-manage-"all" tab-scroll to the bottom and find weather-clear data)

hopefully that works, and if not :P try to remove all locations you added in weather and then sync weather again
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Nope still the same :( Ontario (Current) >.<

Could it be because I've turned autosync off?
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
most definately, turn it on, and if you dont have data, put airplane mode on, then turn on wifi
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Haha nope I have unlimited data :P I tired rebooting and using it but still no success :( Meh I guess I have to unlock it to see weather info :(

Thanks anyway :)
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
wait, it shows it on the home screen and weather app, but not on the lockscreen?

try clearing the cache on the app under "all" again but this time clear for "HTC Weather Wallpaper"

see if that does it for ya
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Its not active I cant do anything with "HTC Weather Wallpaper" app. My phone is not rooted :)
