One the return policy is 30 days for cellphones considering that is the default return rate from AT&T so your return period ends in 15 days just so you know.

They told me (at BestBuy) that I could return my phone and have my upgrade reversed if I did return the phone within 14days. After that I can only return the phone and get another one for the remaining of the 30days return period; but cannot get my upgrade back.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.Hook:
What is the best Video format and all the info for it for Captivate? I have messed around with handbrake and a few other converters and am really not sure what the best format is.

I am thinking of ripping to MPEG4 (.mp4) but I want to get the maximum resolution for the captivate phone screen. I have read that it does 720p which is 1280 x 720 resolution if I am not mistaken? Then what bitrate? How about the audio? I know that the captivate supports 5.1 but only through headphones correct? So here is what I am thinking:

Ripping MP4 at 1280 x 720 resolution

xvid

2500 bitrate

Audio AAC 44100 at 128KB 2 channel

Will this work and is this the best resolution? I am going to be mainly ripping DVDs and converting them to watch on my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
what is the exact screen resolution of your captivate!

that resolution would be optimal....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G.Hook:
So 480 x 800 but what about the other settings? Bitrate, etc?

I have read that the captivate can play 720p video, but 720p is 1280 x720 right? So does this not make a difference seeing as the screen resolution is lower?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
it can play 720 hell 1080 it just gets resized to 800x480

Details down on the link below.

http://www.seednonym.com/2011/09/nvidia-kal-el-reveals-fifth-core.html

NVidia Tegra 3 has now revealed its whitepapers and guess what, the upcoming quad-core processor runs on 4 + 1 cores instead of just four. Check out the link above and the attached whitepapers!

Feeling excited? You bet. The whitepapers include various benchmark performance comparisons and detailed information regarding the soon-to-be released SoC.

seriously, when are we going to hear news about new super long life batteries that can last a month on 1 charge?
[General Topics] ToonXW:
Actually, no. If you have read the article, you should know that the cores are not used simultaneously for every single task.

The attached picture in the article shows how the cores are utilized separately, so in reality, the companion core is there to help you save battery, not drain it further. :)
[General Topics] mapas01:
Does this documentation being released imply that the first kal-el tablets should be here soon?? :D
[General Topics] ToonXW:
Actually Tegra 3 was due end of August but reportedly because it wants to co-release with the Asus Tf2 and ICS the unveiling is delayed even until now. Expect October!
[General Topics] mapas01:
I really hope so as October is only a few weeks away, but isn't it weird that not much info has been leaked about any specific Kal-El devices.

I mean we know that the TF2 will have Kal-El, but how come not much info is known about the TF2 itself. Usually specs and some pics or something leaks way ahead of release.

I'm just worried that my wait is going to be dragged out until 2012 :(

And yet we fully forget the software.

I prefer a more optimized Android which requires less computing power than hardware wars.

This is like computer programming again: fewer devs willing to optimize their software and mostly rely on exponential increase in hardware powers.

But wait! You may not know that the hardware power will not increase indefinitely. And all these four-five-eight cores SoC will be some niche market items.

Let me start by saying it is NONSENSE to claim that hardware wars "forget the software." That claim is utterly, completely, 100% untrue. The hardware exists FOR the software, not in spite of it. Better hardware=more things the software can do. Cheaper hardware=more people can have access to advanced capabilities.

And while I agree that in theory, "hardware power will not increase indefinitely," the fact is that we're at such a state of technological infancy that not one of us on this forum will live to see the day when hardware ceases to evolve and improve. Not ONE.

[General Topics] I Am Marino:
Still rather see battery improvements.

Dual core should have been the last full on "hardware" improvement they made for a little bit.
[General Topics] madnav:
number of cores does not define the sheer throughtput.

For a given Task,

more cores = higher efficiency

say 1core at YGHz consumes X volts

it may consume X/2 volts for Y/2 GHz

power = (Voltage Squared) x (Core Speed)

^comes down to approx 8times less power at half voltage and Speed. Speed is much lower at idle and saving are futher fruitworthy for the battery..

in general...

8 cores running at half the speed and voltage of a single core would be consuming same amount of power as that single core.

what you gain is, multiple threads running simultaneously, less cores active when not necessary..

Overall efficiency is increased, heat generated is decreased, what you get is more output for same amount of battery.

The Race is hardly about the power but more about increasing the efficiency.

[General Topics] richteralan:
Hardware exists FOR the software, which is indeed true and does not invalidate my point.

And for the "hardware power will not increase indefinitely," the point is, the increase in PC hardware power already slowing down from last 2 years. That includes both CPU and GPU. And this soon will happen in mobile/laptop PC hardware and WILL happen in cell phone hardware.

And I wonder why its so hard to hire good programmer these days.:rolleyes:

[General Topics] ToonXW:
You can never compare a mobile SoC to a full CPU on a computer. The processing power of a 4-core SoC is approximately 10% faster than a dual-core CPU.

Tegra 3 has a bottom clockspeed of 1.5ghz

@richteralan:

"And I wonder why its so hard to hire good programmer these days."

I'm a sw dev for 25 years now, and i have to tell you, there are more good devs now then there where 25 years ago.

Yes we used to be alot more carefull about memmory then, because it wasn't there in CPM or DOS, but it took me 1/2 a year to develop an application in ASM/C that i can build now in 1 Day in modern systems.

And this made it possible that nearly every company/person can buy specialised SW because it is afordable now.

My company also is doing firmware where you really have to fight for every bit and that is also easier nowerdays, but it is not needed that often.

Customers are not calling for small sw, but for affordable ones that does what it is supposed to do and meets the timeframe given.

If you personaly want sw to be small, order it that way, but be prepared to pay alot more for the same functionality and also be prepared not to get it in time.

It was based on a CoreMark benchmark score, you think i'd just conjure an answer out of no where? Troll. Android is the OS, how does that make me an Android fanboy when nVidia isn't even an OS?
[General Topics] richteralan:
So you are telling me that you made your judgement with one single benchmark?

I searched CoreMark score database and did a coremark sorting.

The highest score is Tilera TILEPro64 (TLR36480BG-9C) 866 running in 62 threads.

The Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2400 scores at 36553.96 running in 4 threads.

And some generic laptop Intel Core i5 CPU M 560 2667 scores at 21084.81 running in 2 forks.

I can't find ANY NVIDIA Kal-El scores. The closest is Nvidia Tegra2 (dual-core ARM Cortex-A9) 1000 scores at 5866.39 running 2 threads.

Care to enlighten me where you calculated the 15% faster than some x86 architecture dual core CPUs?
[General Topics] ToonXW:
The benchmark was shown at a international technology convention a few months ago when the project Kal-El first surfaced in the tablet market.

Now I did and do not claim a 100% confirmation towards the benchmark result but at least I backed my statement against something that has been shown, be it reliable or not.

As I said previous I did NOT calculate the results myself but through certain sources previewed in a convention. You may or may not choose to believe, but that has no point in arguing with me.

Edit:

Okay let me reiterate what was shown in the convention. The project Kal-El was shown in comparison with the old Core2 Duo chipset with scores or 12k to 10.5k respectively through CoreMark benchmark scores.

Now I believe that benchmark scores do not really prove anything at all when brought to real time usage, but at least I did not make up the 10% claim myself. Peace.

[General Topics] richteralan:
All these articles are from more than 6 months ago.

So stop calling people troll before you read.

However, Kal-El is impressive, just don't blow it out of proportion. And I'm not a big fan of NVIDIA after seen what they did with Tegra 2.
[General Topics] ToonXW:
At the time of convention these information was not available, and I was not aware of the improvised information. The first released benchmark was as early quarter of this year and I wasn't aware of reports hence forth.

I named you a troll because of the way you portrayed your accusation, not because of the factual error since you did not provide any amendments towards the claim yet you branded me a fanboy right away. Everyone makes mistakes and it isn't necessary to condemn every claim made.

Now Kal-el is indeed impressive. Let's hope nvidia doesnt overclaim their products just as they did with tegra 2. On whitepapers the project sure does look amazing based on nvidia's reports, but it will never be accurate as they're prone to alter certain values just as they did with this one. We'll see when it's released in the market.
[General Topics] Usualsuspect182:
In all honesty, the hardware isn't really the issue, it's the software there to utilize the hardware. Until big corps release software to take advantage of the hardware, color me unimpressed. Just my .02
[General Topics] richteralan:
I really liked this post. You are going to be an excellent lawyer.

No matter how you make excuses, those reports came soon after the official NVIDIA "benchmark" numbers released in the conference. And it's all over the internet. If you consider yourself knowledgeable and still chose not to read everything Kal-El related (especially some supposedly negative coverage on Kal-El), you are showing yourself as a fanboy, period.

Of course you can downplay it as "everyone makes mistakes". But that does not mean calling people a troll over some facts and/or challenging questions they ask is correct.

Tegra 2's performance is good for the price. What I meant is NVIDIA does not release source code for their drivers so devs (e.g. cyanogenmod) cannot start working on, such as A2DP support.

I can only predict that NVIDIA will further tighten up their Kal-El drivers so 3rd party ROMs will face even more difficulties supporting Kal-El devices.
[General Topics] ToonXW:
I did not deny that I actually missed any updates regarding that information and I actually admitted that. I'm not all like "ohhh I'm a tegra fan!!!1" right, perhaps I perceived your "challenging" statement the wrong way. It's pretty rare to see someone actually bothered to do further research for others, I still thank you for that. More than 80% statements of such are usually trolls. It's a true pleasure talking to you. No pun intended.

That for one, but what users are actually complaining about real time usage is the promised 1080p decoding and the support for accelerated flash content. Even when promised by nvidia, it's rather difficult to decode high profiles and struggles with low profile ones. Flash, on the other hand, might even mow down to 3~10 fps without a software fix by a xda dev.

Mine did the same thing. They reinstalled (most of them anyway) because google kept a record of what I had loaded from the market. The only thing is because they were reinstalled automatically the market doesn't give me the option of removing them. Is yours the same?

On a side note a while ago when I first used LeeDroids rom I used titanium backup to reinstall my apps and data. When picked my phone up the next morning (it was plugged in all night) it was red hot where something was loading the cpu up. I reinstalled the whole thing a couple more times before I realised it was either an app or the process or reinstalling them on a different rom with Titanium that was causing the load. Now I use mybackup pro and just keep my data and install the apps separately.
