Sweet. I know about 5 people who I'm sending that video to
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
am I the only one who finds these videos pointless and stupid? amusing to watch sometimes but pointless, nonetheless. Here's a shock, glass breaks when dropped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The Boxinator:
>:3 SGS II is pretty durable and in reference to a fall test the plastic actually absorbs impact. Meaning Iphone's glass which is brittle/not flexible takes the full on impact. Meanwhile the SGS II just sorta bounces since it is far lighter/bendy if you will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Recalesce:
I have a wife with a cracked iPhone 4S screen, and I have a beautiful GS2.

Whether or not this is defect with my wife or phone is still up for debate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
your wife might have a defect?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Recalesce:
Seems that way. She's had the phone less than a day and has already dropped it earning her a fairly deep crack along the upper left-hand side. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
he did say his wife has an iphone 4s
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
lol I guess I can relate. My wife has this knack for finding the oddest bugs in software. if there's a bug, she'll find it even if its a rare bug.

LMAO good point
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i have the same problem.

'here honey, try this rom out. it will fix this this and this'

3 hours later

'how come i cant do this any more?'

'wth? who does that?'

'i do, and i use it all the time'

SMH
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Recalesce:
Before her iPhone 4S she had a Captivate.

I never heard the end of her constant complaints about the device, so I wouldn't let her buy a GS2. I just don't have the patience.

Sometimes iOS is the best option for a consumer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
yeah, im at that point with my wife. she has had a mytouch4g (tmobile) for a year. she tried the vibrant but didnt like it.

i keep saying, im going to get you a windows phone 7 phone or an iphone....she fights both of those.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
I guess I can consider myself lucky that my wife is pretty tech savy so for the most part, I dont need patience because she can figure out most of the stuff herself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Optilicious:
The SGS II has Corning Gorilla Glass that is very impact resistant. The screen is not plastic. I'm not sure what type of glass the iPhone has but its obviously not impact resistant...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
the iphone is almost fully covered in glass, which means it will definitely break easily. I dont know what kind of glass it has but I dont think it would have mattered much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Optilicious:
The fix for my wife was MIUI on the Captivate. She loves the customization. Pink Teddy Bears and what not all over her menus... wth?... lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Same here, but she doesn't quailfy for an upgrade yet, so we traded her captivate for a 3GS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
LOL....that was the closest i could get to alleviating the constant barrage of complaints....MIUI on her MT4G

Lil ol SG2 is so thin and light it feels like a delicate toy. Light is a great attribute to have when it comes to being dropped :D . An ant is small, light, and delicate, but you can drop the joker off a second story window onto concrete and it will still walk away. being heavy and made of glass however, is not so great for dropping lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Optilicious:
Look up Corning Gorilla Glass and check out the specs and tests.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cincy1020:
That's very funny. I have the exact same problem with my boyfriend. I too told him to get an iphone when he's due for an upgrade.

Some people just need simplicity, and don't care if they are actually missing out on features, as long as they don't have to DO anything.

I on the other hand would go crazy, if I didn't have something to fiddle with on my phone :)

Besides, I couldn't stand looking at nothing but square icons on the home screens. I had to jailbreak and customize my ipod touch just to make it a little less boring lol.

[TouchPad General] elimherr:
I left my TP on and booted into Android last night as it was charging. When I picked it up this morning it was really HOT and overheated, so I'm thinking either turn it off when charging or boot into WebOS before while charging. It seems like its not shutting off the charger when it reaches 100%.
[TouchPad General] VICODAN:
Good to know. Do you know if the developers know about this as a known bug? Please check the rootzwiki thread here:

Left mine plugged in repeatedly w/out issue the last two nights w/out any heat issues. I had my screen off profile in SetCPU set to 1080 max CPU speed.
[TouchPad General] jackdonogy:
I've got a case on mine so I might have not noticed if it was hot.

I've set the CPU to 1080 max aswell but can't overcome the sleep bug.

I'll take the case off tonight n test this.

[TouchPad General] erick161:
I was hoping upping the minimum CPU setting to 384mhz would have helped the sleep bug, but it hasn't. That and the wifi bug are the only 2 annoyances, but considering the alpha state, its stellar. Doesn't even really bother me
[TouchPad General] HorsexD:
Sleep bug only effects me when Touchpad is asleep with charger plugged in. When unplugged and left alone It always turns on fine. I tested it to make sure too. Im also Overclocking to 1.5 ghz with set cpu and minimum 384 mhz using OnDemand.
[Acer Iconia A500] sw6lee:
Do you guys think ice cream sandwich can keep up with ios's smoothness? I used to hate apple and still don't like itmuch, but if ice cream sandwich won't be at least almost as smooth as ios, then i will definitely think about getting an ipad and selling my android tablet.. ios 5 has a lot of features that can keep up with current android, and it gives a really good experience with buttery smooth transition animation, although a little less feature. I know we should wait till tmr to find out all the features of ics, but do you guys think it will be smooth with no lag, especially the jerkiness when scrolling?
[Acer Iconia A500] Thanar:
If your tablet is exceedingly jerky you should try wiping it or getting a replacement.

Besides that, I have no doubt that there will be plenty of under the hood improvements along with the UI updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
I was going to say... "what jerkiness?"
[Acer Iconia A500] kaziko:
If you've ever used a current ios device then you know exactly what he's talking about. my a500 overclocked at 1.5 on a fresh install, is nowhere near as smooth as an ios device. There are certain jitters when performing certain actions. And lag when typing is a huge issue, that I can't seem to fix regardly of rom choice keyboard choice or overclock settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] Thanar:
I'd recommend waiting until tomorrow night. They might pull out something "amazing" like with froyo and increase speed across the board again.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
What little I have been reading about it Google is really working on UI, including trying to speed up transitions and effects. Whether or not they succeed remains to be seen, so my advice is: don't throw out the baby with the bath-water. Wait until you get a chance to actually try it YOURSELF once it's out and ignore rumours.
[Acer Iconia A500] sw6lee:
Yea comparing to ios, my tablet (usually smooth) is very jittery. And one thing that I haven't been doing much but started doing a lot is using it in portrait mode, and I just can't stand the lag.. and i really hope there will be at least close amount of various animation that are present in ios..and I REALLY hope the scrolling lag will be gone, like in youtube app, or actually any other app, when scrolling while loading image or something, is laggy. After I've spent some time with ios in a retail store, I really can't stand the lag haha..

And yea, I hope they succeed. I will definitely try it out. I THINK windows phone 7 is pretty smooth and ios is of course smooth but was wondering, why the biggest software company cant make their os better. Than apple and microsoft. I mean that in the general transition effect in terms of smoothness, not the OS features.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Well, atleast partially the reason is technical: Apple's iOS is all native code AFAIK and tuned for Apple's hardware. After all, Apple controls all the parts that go to their devices and only choose parts that they know will work on iOS. Google on the other hand has to provide an OS platform that is a lot more malleable and can run on a wide range of devices with wildly differing characteristics, so it creates some overhead. Plus Android isn't native code, so again that creates some execution overhead.

And well, remember that iOS builds on OSX, it's just streamlined and tuned for mobile devices whereas Android is a completely new OS and Google doesn't have much previous experience in OS development. Ie. Apple has a lot of headway compared to Google and it'll take some time for Google to catch up.

[Acer Iconia A500] ayoooo:
Come on, don't give up on android, for sure ios have by far the most smooth scrolling, but android gave you the fun to improving it. I get alot of satisfaction by flashing roms, kernels, overclocking, overcharging or simply playing around with the theme and designing your own styling. It's open and free. ois is all about giving you something that's good at a ridiculously high price...
[Acer Iconia A500] cachedfailure:
iOS is definitely more refined when it comes to animations, ascetics, and fine detail. All of which creates a more pleasing (to look at) and responsive UI.

My iOS devices do occasionally succumb to the same animation stutters and laggy keyboard as my Android ones. However, usually only after a jailbreak and installing homebrew.

My biggest complaint with Android tablets (and android in general) is App support. Tablet app selection is dismal on Android and compatibility with 2.3 apps even worse.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
iOS was built from the ground up to use very little memory and CPU cycles. Remember when you couldn't even multitask on there? Well now all that has changed but Apple is sticking to the principle.

Android on the other hand is built upon Linux. Google is doing the very best with the software and tools they have. If you imitate iOS and remove all your widgets and satisfy with just some icons on your home screens it's highly likely you'll mimic very closely the experience of iOS in terms of the OS being lag free. Of course this varies from person to person in what and how many apps they are running, etc. Any apps that run services will take some toll on the system; herein lies an example of a big difference between how Android vs. iOS works.

Widgets also use up a chunk of memory as well as CPU cycles at a time and are one of the priority reasons the software may lag, especially some of those flashy ones like CNN/News widgets, big ones like Music/Video widgets or constantly moving ones like Weather/Time widgets.

We can only wait and see what ICS will bring. There's no guarantee that it will be any faster/smoother than Honeycomb is; for me Honeycomb is pretty damned smooth. Also Vanilla Android/Honeycomb doesn't consist of that many animations to start with unless you get 3rd party launchers...but scrolling for me and launching apps carries little to no lag with it.

Keep in mind also that momentum has built up and hardware has caught up with software demands. My G1 with 1.6 cannot begin to compare to my myTouch4G with 2.3 on it. If the trend continues we can more than likely safely assume that any sort of lag will disappear as more powerful processors are introduced.

Ultimately it's up to you to decide what's more important to you.

I'm not sure I could give up my widgets at this point just to get smoother animations as I have grown accustomed to and am now depending on them.

If you think you like iOS more for any reason, especially if you feel it now matches Android in terms of features, I'd definitely make the switch sooner than later. I'd hate to spend money on Android apps and then have to buy them all over again on iOS.
[Acer Iconia A500] keving75:
When would we reasonably except ICS to be available for the Acer Iconia?

Either for Rooted users or in a OTA upgrade?

[Acer Iconia A500] duloz:
Lolwut...

Beyond that, i've never understood why the quality of an os is judged on its fancy animations. Truth be told, when given the option, i turn animations off to the highest degree possible.
[Acer Iconia A500] fox.not.fire:
I agree with you..
[Acer Iconia A500] kaziko:
Although you are partially correct with what you said... Let me clarify some things.

iOS and Android are both based off of a modified linux kernel.

The real reason iOS performs better than Android is the way they handle memory and the way applications are processed. Android is more like a PC when it comes to the way things run. iOS is coded in a way that only information that is absolutely neccessary for the app to function, are processed in real time. This frees up more memory/core for the os to manage other (asthetic) features. iOS is really smoke and mirrors, which is why most iDevices are half as powerful as some Android devices, yet appear to be twice as fast.

Google is still learning with android. The reason iOS is so far ahead in terms of technology innovations is because Apple has been making computers/operating systems for a long time, they have it down to a science. Google is a fairly new kid on the block so they still have some "street" skills to learn before they can topple the big dogs (apple/microsoft). I think google will take android to another level once they start devoting more time to it, but for now we are left to play the "test pilot" role.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Oh yay new font. *cough*

lmao hipster filters.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I stopped reading right there. Neither OSX nor iOS has ever used Linux-kernel, even a modified one, and will never do so.

[Acer Iconia A500] mp46241:
ics hardware acceleration of ui

Google confirmed that the UI in ics will support hardware acceleraction in all windows of the ui!!! This should make the whole UI buttery smooth
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
It depends on a little on the applications themselves, but generally yes, it should speed up the UI by quite a bunch. However what is much more important to me is the savings on battery-life: the GPU is designed to be able to handle drawing functions and shift around large quantities of data in memory efficiently and it can do those things much faster and with less power consumed than a general-purpose CPU, so the difference should be quite noticeable if you use your tablet often. Obviously it won't have any effect on idle standby life, though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Biologos:
To clarify the issue, iOS and OSX are offshots of UNIX architecture, as is Linux. So, they share a common ancestor and some common design principles. They are relatives, but not so close ones.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
They don't share any common ancestors actually, only some design principles and POSIX API - compatibility. OSX and iOS use XNU-kernel ( https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/XNU ) which is a modified and updated Mach-kernel, whereas Linux-kernel is completely developed from scratch, it doesn't share any code with any previous OS nor is it based on any previous OS. You could indeed argue they are "relatives" since both are UNIX OSes, but their implementations are completely different at all levels.

A rather close analogy would be saying that you and I are relatives since we're both humans; we share some common design principles and mostly compatible input/output systems, but not even a single common ancestor.
[Acer Iconia A500] UberArtifex:
As google has confirmed, Ice Cream Sandwich has integrated hardware aceleration, so android devices will have FULL control of the GPU. I'm sure this will make our Iconias run very, very smoothly. (and Kal-El powered devices will rock, definitely)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Mac OS X, whose X is the Roman numeral for 10 and is a prominent part of its brand identity, is a Unix-based graphical operating system, [8] built on technologies developed at NeXT between the second half of the 1980s and Apple's purchase of the company in late 1996. From its sixth release, Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" and onward, every release of Mac OS X gained UNIX 03 certification while running on Intel processors.

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Is that an answer or rebuttal to someone in this thread?
[Acer Iconia A500] duloz:
Erm... by being human, both creationism and evolution demand that we DO all have a common ancestor. Heck, evolution demands that everything alive has a common ancestor...

I think that the point that you are trying to refute is that, because both are based on Unix, that Unix is the common ancestor... technically, this is correct...

[Acer Iconia A500] gilduran:
Isn't this a little like comparing apples to oranges, or Mac's to PC's? Personally, I enjoy the freedom the Android OS offers me, and will gladly put up with a little lag, if it means I am not limited to which apps I can install, or where I install them from.

Mac hardware has always worked with graphics better than pc's. That's why the majority of graphic artists use Macs. And it's for the exact reason someone else already stated, Apples iOS devices have a predetermined set of specs, and therefore run their OS in a predictable manner. I suspect that is the reason the Mac clone idea died almost as quickly as it was discussed, way back in the day. That's also the reason why PC's have such a large market share. Yet performance on PC's very greatly from one vendor to the next, and sometime from model to model of the same vendor.

Technically, every living thing on earth has a common ancestor. Analogy aside, you're right: Mac OS X is a Unix-like OS, but it and Linux do not share a single-line of code.
[Acer Iconia A500] fox.not.fire:
Is Mac OS X Unix like???

[Acer Iconia A500] walropodes:
Its kernel (Darwin) is Unix-like. It's also a mish-mash of a bunch of other things too.
[Acer Iconia A500] Corruptor0612:
I remember seeing some BSD banners in the code during boot of OSX. Always thought Darwin was a BSD variant with the Mach kernel..
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
It is, the person above you was incorrect: Darwin isn't a kernel, it's an OS. XNU is the kernel that Darwin (and therefore OSX/iOS) uses and it is indeed a Mach-kernel with a bunch of additions. See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) and https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/XNU if you wish to know more.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
Not necessarily correct.

What if a puddle of goo in what is now Asia contained the building blocks for what evolved into reptiles while a puddle of goo in what is now North America contained the building blocks for what evolved into rabbits? Two forms of life could definitely develop independently without having a common ancestor.

The building blocks for life on this planet are all based on DNA but that does not mean every living creature can trace back to one common puddle of goo/ancestor since those very building blocks of life likely started in several locations.
[Acer Iconia A500] Biologos:
No, no, no, no and no. It simply does not, and has not ever worked like this. Nor could it.

Back to the topic though, let's not argue evo-dev, there are other places for this conversation.

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:

[Acer Iconia A500] duloz:
Yes, it would seem that you do need to do that...
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
Sadly, yes it could and likely did. Plenty of discussion on this topic in the actual arena of biology and you'll have to look it up and research it on your own lest this thread go way off topic.

Suffice it to say, the scientific community does not have a definitive answer as to if all living things on the planet are based on one single organism - one common root ancestor, or many roots, and theories are changing all the time.

So it is with Android and Unix and OS X and others. They may actually be based on other code somehow or portions thereof. One root or many. That's the way the Universe works.
