[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] PoisonWolf:
There are differences, if you know where to look for it.

It's true, higher clock speeds can serve as a substitute when GPU acceleration (with the appropriate drivers are not available). However, this is not an efficient way to go about doing things. :)

I believe this is why the Exynos approach is preferred, as there are customized drivers provided by Samsung so that the Mali GPU can provide hardware acceleration. This remains to be seen (or announced by Samsung) if they are going to provide hardware-accelerated drivers for the Adreno GPU using the Qualcomm processor.

One way to see this difference, although subtle, but makes the point clear.

Take any Apple product running iOS, maybe an iPhone 4. Go through any of the menus, and scroll. Do it slowly and do it quickly. And pay attention to the scrolling.

Now, on your android device, like say any of those using a Qualcomm chip (probably any of the HTC phones), install something like Launcher Pro. In the App Drawer, scroll slowly, and scroll quickly. At face value, it'll seem like the scrolling is smooth. But when you look closer, you'll see it "jitter", even ever so slightly. It won't be as "smooth" as the scrolling as you'd see in the iPhone 4. You can also see this in the Settings screen of Gingerbread. Just scroll slowly and quickly. You'll notice the jitter.

If you take a device like the HD2 (what I'm using currently) which is capable of running both Android and WP7, you'll know what a big difference it is when you can have hardware-acceleration. You won't see the jittery effect when a HD2 is running WP7 as opposed to android.

Now, if Samsung goes out of their way and spends more money modifying and revamping their T-Mobile line of the Galaxy S2 to also have hardware-acceleration using the Adreno 220 GPU....then we've got a winner.

Hardware acceleration with a newer SoC, asynchrous processing for greater battery life, and a default higher clockspeed which likely can be pushed to 2.0 Ghz dual-core (seeing as how the Touchpads have been clocked to 1.7 Ghz from the default 1.2 Ghz).

This is if and only if Samsung decides to play nice.

Don't get your hopes up though. I hope this makes it clear to all of you about why the Exynos is preferred. It's not that the Qualcomm chip is significantly worse, it's just that Samsung has already done most of the work on the phone when using the Exynos chip. They just need to add T-Mobile's bloatware and hardware bandings to the device before the October release.

P.S. Don't forget that Snapdragon chips has an annoying problem with heat. I'm not sure if they've fixed this from the HD2/Incredible days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Hello everyone. Ok so everytime i try doing a benchmark test with Antutu my phone reboots or freezes. But it only does this when im OC@ 1.55ghz. Anything under 1.55, like 1.4ghz for example, it runs and does the bechmark test just fine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

BTW i'm currently running CM7 Nightly124 with Faux123v0.4.1 kernel and using SETCPU as my OC/UV app.

Sorry in advanced if this question has already come up many times...but i just couldn't find any threads referring to this same problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Its not the benchmark that is the problem...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Hmmm..then what could it be? Cos I run quadrant at full 1.55ghz and it runs pretty smooth
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
its the phone. Quadrant is not a multi threaded app so it does not use both cpus on the phone. I do belivie Antutu is so you are stressing the cpu more with Antutu then you are with quad. My phone does the same thing. Not every phone is the same so your chip might not be able to do 1.5ghz safely where someone elses can. If 1.4ghz runs fine that is your max.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Thanks i kinda figured that. Although i'm now running Eaglesblood 2.3.5 with Trinity15 Kernel. I am now able to run the Antutu test with OC@ 1.56 without any problems and smoothly too. Hmmmm :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Voltages might be different for each cpu speed scaling between the two kernels, which might make one more aggressive than the other at a particular speed.
[HTC Sensation] c-pain:
I have search all thread/forums/questions and I didn't found anything similar. Some threads says cause is old SIM card, lemon phone batch and TMO network issue. Not sure where this will fit. :o

Just want to share this info, be gentle noob here, New TMO customer/new phone :cool:

I got my htc sensation few days ago and root it on Stock ROM then install a bunch of apps and freezed a couple apps(aka bloatware) using titanium backup pro. After 3 days I lost all data connection (gprs/2g/3g/4g) except WIFI of course.

Called TMO-US they said that they reset my network and we do a whole bunch of troubleshooting. Still no luck but when I Tried using my sim card on my old phone(HTC inspire) I got a FULL 4g/network signal. WHOA!!!! :)

I didnt give up because htc sensation is a beast! but after spending alot of hours searching for the fix , no luck... then I decided to let the phone go since Im still covered my the 30 day grace period. Upon looking for a different phone on TMO lineup can't find any phone that can beat the htc sensation. So I resort to getting the same phone replacement.

*****Trust me I've tried everything that this sita has to offer (radio/cipher boot, airplane mode, battery pull, config settings)****

Then this whole fiasco becomes interesting...

Got the instructions to "de brand" the phone. S-off and unroot.

Downloaded stock rom and install it. on first boot 4G icon popped up.. hmmm... tried to browse the net and download some apps on the market check :)

so I download htc software updates(using 4G), reroot the phone and restore my backup.

I assume the cause is somewhere along the line of

- installing stray apps and freezing bloatwares - (not sure which one- too many to know) or

- some rogue processes triggered the data connection lost or

- need to do htc update first before roorting or

- I just got a freak accident upon rooting.

Doesn't matter I got my data connection back. So far so good.....

HTC Sensation

Stock ROM, S-OFF, Rooted
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
i had a very very similar problem as yours.

before I was s-off/rooted it was running fine with 3g over in asia. zero problems with the stock rom. started reading on s-off for about a week and went into Insertcoin cos that seem like the most popular.

after rooting to insert coin, problems started ... i could hardly get any 3g network even though the icon showed there was data going in and out. flashed from IC 2.2.5 to 2.2.7 and thought it would work itself out, 2.2.7 to 2.3.0 didn't work as well. Gave up and jumped to ARHD and every thing worked

It looks like both Insertcoin and ARHD uses two different kernels/radios. IC works on TMOUS for majority of the users, so you might want to look at InsertCoin and try that out on your 4G set
[HTC Sensation] c-pain:
This is getting more interesting.. .As Im planning to venture to try different roms.

I'll keep that in mind and yes indeed InsertCoin is more popular.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1105432

Any advantage using InsertCoin? :confused: Because for now Im happy with my set up HTC sense is a bit laggy but not all the time and speedtest says 6mb++ download : 3mb++ upload.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
if you're with tmobile & the your data worked with another phone & not the Sensation, your IMEI was probably blacklisted if you don't have and "Android Approved" data plan according to tmobile.

When the phone first came out a lot of us were having that problem. Our data would work for a few days & then would stop completely. I was running the original Total Internet plan from back when the MDA was release & it shut off. Tmobile didn't remove the flag until I converted over to an android plan.

My guess is you're on an older data plan & they want you to switch to their throttled data plan
[HTC Sensation] c-pain:
Thanks for the info Xnifex! I'll keep that in mind, Im not sure though what you mean by "Android Approved".

Since Im a new customer with a new phone(HTC sensation that came from them). Im positive its brand new not refurbished so I assume IMEI is good.

I lost the data 3 days after I rooted the phone with S-OFF and SuperCID and a few tweaks. but I got the data back when Im in the process of de-branding (unroot and S-ON)

Although I didn't reach the S-ON process because I got the data back after installing the stock ROM/RUU. So I reroot it again.

The only thing I can remember on TMO side is the tech rep told me that they reset my data connection not sure if that helps :confused:

So far no issues here :)
[HTC Sensation] splayer7:
If you lose connection again, call tmobile and make sure that they have you on an android data plan. I had a winmo phone before my sensation and they have 2 different kinds of data plans. Not sure why. My data stopped working after a couple of days. I had to call support and have them switch it away from the winmo data to the android. They might have screwed it up when you signed up.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
the android approved was in quotes because it's no different than any other plan, but it's the term they use to get those that were on older non-throttled plans to switch over.

If you're a new tmobile customer than I don't know what's wrong, but if you're an older one who had a data plan from an old blackberry, windows mobile, or other smartphone, they blacklisted your Sensation IMEI until you switched over. That's probably why you could get it to work on a previous phone, which wasn't blacklisted, & not the Sensation
[HTC Sensation] c-pain:
HMMMM... Almost the same scenario as I suspect.

Thanks for all the inputs. :)

All I can remember on tmous side is they reset my connection and I forgot to mention on the earlier post that I have my att number ported into tmous, probably thats the cause.

But I assume its the phone because after all the things that tmous have done I waited a couple of days nothing happen.. the only way I get the data connection is instaliing the srock rom\RUU.

Its been 5 days now, I've install the same apps that I got before and freeze a few bloats.. Still got data connection. Happy camper here... :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stkiswr:
Is this normal? I'm getting my sister in laws Evo back to stock form and in hindsight I probably should have ruu it to 3.70 and accepted ota from the but I didn't and went w 4.53. Everything took perfectly but pri is still the 1.77 I dropped in there last year. Phone is currently s-on. She hasn't gotten it back as it was ran over by a few cars and I just put it back together. She needs to reactivate it so will it update after activation or is it forever 1.77 until another ota drops which should bump it up?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
No, RUUs don't update the PRI.

Really, there isn't much need to do so.

1.90 actually caused more problems [wake locks and such] than helped anything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
Hello all :)

When I had Galaxy S, I found out that flashing custom ROMs not only gives you huge benefits, but also has drawbacks - one of them is loosing the additional languages that regional firmwares have.

Then I found out this great thread which showed me what files to replace, to get back all the missing languages.

Now I just got Galaxy S 2 and it has the right keyboard, and I'm rooted so I thought I'd take the keyboard files and flash them on whatever ROM I choose.

My question [AT LAST!] is:

What are the respective files, libraries, etc. that are required for this to work? Are they the same as in Galaxy S, are there more or less?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
Samsung keyboard files are AxT9IME.apk found in system/app and libXt9core.so found in system/lib.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
Thanks, but it didn't work.

I found the files, but it seems that the ones in 2.3.3 are way different than those in 2.3.4 so the Samsung Keypad just disappears...

Seems I'm stuck with the buggy market options.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
You can try clearing the keypads data under settings/applications/manage applications then reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
It doesn't give force closes or anything, replacing the app just makes it disappear from the list. Tho it's still visible with Titanium as a crossed out entry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
That's odd, how did you install the new files?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
First I tried to do it via CWM, but I probably messed it up, since I can't make my own scripts and just steal someone else's :D anyway it did nothing.

Then I tried manual replacing via Root Explorer and then the keypad disappeared.

I'll find a way to do it, the only thing I don't know - are the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 files compatible. If not there's no point trying to do it, right? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
I don't see there being any difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 but if you want you can just download a rom that is 2.3.4 and extract the files you need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
I think I know why there's a problem. I'm trying to replace an odexed version of the Samsung Keypad, and I copy both files. And probably there's some place else in the Android OS which does a check and causes the error.

Cause I replaced Swype sucessfuly (and it didn't have an .odex part).

Can it be that?

UPD: Yes, it's totally that, I deleted both the .apk and .odex files and placed a dedoexed version of the AxT9IME.apk in system/app and it worked again. Now I have to find a way to deodex the apk I have, and I know nothing of programming :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
This thread might be helpful. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132724 I briefly looked over it and it doesn't seem to be that hard. Good luck :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
I have an flashable zip for installing the old keyboard from kf3 with all languages if you want. Oh and there are files for the keyboard in system/T9DB aswell!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
Seems easy enough for me, will give it a try :)

If it works it'd be epic :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
...after the phone has scanned for wifi it brings up WPA/WPA2 PSK alongside the network name...after keying in the security password it just wont connect.......keeps connecting and disconnecting......seem to be having the same problem at me mates house aswell!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
Try a trila and error - disable security on the router completely for a few minutes and see if it stays connected. If it does stay connected without security, download the latest tytung kernel package from his thread, extract the wpa_supplicant from /system/bin and push it to the /system/bin in your android. See if that helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
ok..thanks for your reply... i will try this out...if it does the trick you will have to advice me on the system bin thing!!!!!.........sorry i am new to android romming...might possibly drop you a email....

"Philips unveils new Fidelio docking speakers for Android ecosystem

Berlin, Germany – Philips is adding to its successful series of Fidelio docking speakers with a new range for Android smartphones and tablets, which will be launched at IFA. The Fidelio docking speakers for Android™ are based on the same speaker systems as the Fidelio for Apple range, so you can be sure to enjoy a stunning sound from your Android phone or tablet but with all the functionality you need for a simple experience.

As the micro USB connector on Android smartphones are placed in different positions and orientations on each phone, Philips has developed a unique connector design that adjusts in three dimensions to hold any phone in both portrait and landscape positions. This means you can dock and charge most Android phones and your phone will always be positioned at the centre of the speaker for the best sound experience.

To immediately enjoy your music in the simplest way, Philips has developed a dedicated Fidelio app for Android, which will automatically pair your smartphone with the docking station via Bluetooth. Using Philips Songbird media player, you can discover and play all your media and sync it seamlessly with the docking speaker. Its intuitive features let you discover new artists and music styles through music and media stores, services and websites. For completely hassle-free music enjoyment, you can play your own library and media straight from the web and effortlessly sync all of it from your PC to your Android devices.

The Fidelio for Android range includes the following devices:

The clean lines of the curved back on the Fidelio for Android (AS851) not only looks remarkable, but also creates a more effective structure for acoustics and precisely tuned bass pipes for deep, tight bass reproduction so you’ll experience a superb crystal-clear sound. This model comes with Philips Digital sound processing for lifelike, distortion-less music and 30W RMS total output power.

This slightly smaller Fidelio for Android (AS351) will give you the right sound at home and on the go. With the option to choose between battery and AC power, you can enjoy your music anywhere. This model offers Dynamic Bass Boost to preserve low tones for deep bass at any volume level and comes with 10W RMS total output power. A special shielding technology blocks mobile phone interference whilst the AUX-in at the back side of the device means you can connect almost any electronic device.

The third model in the range, the Fidelio for Android (AS111) comes in an elegant and compact design that looks gorgeous from every angle and fits onto every bedside table. Its 360-degree design gives a rich omni-directional sound to fill your bedroom, whilst neodymium speakers deliver a pure balanced sound so you can wake up to a great sound from your Android phone."

[Motorola Photon 4G] Pihrana:
I have a Standard HDMI to Mini/Micro HDMI (which ever version it is, it fits the Photon 4G Perfectly) and I was hoping that when I connected it up, I'd have the option to go into Webtop mode.

Unfortunately this was not the case. The only options were Gallery, Music and Screen Sharing.

So my question is... Does anyone know how we can force the Photon 4G to allow Webtop over a standard cable or are we forced into paying Motorola for one of their accessories to open up this functionality?
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
there is a thread in the dev section explaining how to do it. i'll link you once i edit this post.

Here you go follow these instructions I can verify it works.

Is it a retail or developmental SBF? Both ether way would be nice.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Retail. I cannot guarantee it will have an unlocked bootloader. I should also clarify I do not have it in my possession yet. Retail SBF's are pushed by Moto generally within the first week of release. I will keep you all posted.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] 1stx2:
well..........they do loose alot of business just because they are locked down.......thats the only reason i'm waiting for the prime. Bought a droid x2 when they first came and i didn't know what i was getting myself into = mistake. Don't get me wrong, there hardware is top notch and the call quality is top notch, but that's not justifiable for being so locked down.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
They really don't. If they did, they would have made the switch by now. Rooting/development community users don't make up more than 5-10% of the users of the phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Superguy:
But considering it's been quite awhile since Moto Mobility has turned a profit, even if the bootloader complainers don't represent a lot of people, it can still bring them even closer to getting into the black.

Is Moto that profitable that it can afford to leave money on the table?

If your going to cry about a locked bootloader, buy a phone with an unlocked bootloader. They're available. LG REVOLUTION has an unlocked bootloader, go check it out. I'm sure those who complaining about the bootloader being locked knew it when they purchased the bionic so complaining now makes no sense.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
And how many of the people complaining about the locked bootloader are actually trying to develop themselves and how many are fans like myself.?
