You did not update the BASEBAND to v15 that is the reason you are unable to run it.

You must update the baseband before you install any custom rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atrade:
Hey guys,

I have the LCD hairline crack issue going on my phone right now so I am taking it to swap tomorrow and get a new one. In the process I am now pretty paranoid about damage as I want this beautiful phone to last a solid year or two...

I previously put the zagg invisible shield full body that they sell at the TMO store on it. I am debating now whether to get that again, or also on the website they have a "maximum full body" which includes zagg shield for the bezel edges as well. Has anyone tried this and what is their experience good/bad?

Also, I am contemplating a case for a potential scary drop since I don't have insurance. I hate covering this thing up though. The zagg shield I thought was a good compromise allowing the phone to still be the phone, but I was curious what cases you guys have and what ones you like a lot as it may be worth the extra bulk for me to be safe!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fbiabani:
I've used zagg and invisibleshield for many of my phones and in terms of the (full body) specifically the bevel protector, I never really liked it. I noticed that the edges can attract some lint and I was constantly trying to peel it off.. just my experience bro, could be different for others.

at any rate, my suggestion: zagg the screen and grab a case
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
well I decided to run a benchmark test on this phone and here's the result:

both the Galaxy S II & Galaxy Nexus ranked higher? hmm.. oh well.

what good are benchmarks anyway right? õ_Ô
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
benchmarks mean absolutely nothing; i can't stand reviewers who use them to judge and rate the phones.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Sense lowers the score alot too for some reason. My desire gets a 1600-1700 on CM7 but gets a 1400 on Sense at the same clocks speed and voltage.
[HTC Rezound] Ace42:
This....

HTC did something with Sense that interferes and harms benches, I am not sure on the specifics, but I do in fact know it affects all Sense based phones. Maybe the ROM has some debugging in it or maybe Sense is just not optimized, which ever it may be it's not a good feature to have. If this phone(or any Sense based) had TouchWiz or Vanilla on it, it would be much faster in benches or just generally.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea. Its just sense... Its a heavy UI. On a more vanilla rom I can almost guarantee that it will bench higher than Samsungs. HTCs always do :-)
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Not to mention it looks like you don't have a very good SD card? Class 4?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Class 4 comes with the phone right? He probably hasn't swapped it. Ill stick my class10 in there next week and Ill see how high it gets.

Also, the score will be improved when we can use setcpu to lock it in performance governor mode.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Yea, Class 4 is what comes with pretty much every phone Verizon sells. I haven't seen anything better, but I may be wrong so don't quote me, lol.
[HTC Rezound] Blue Biker:
The fact that Sense slows down benchmarks doesn't imply the benchmarks are invalid. If they run slowly under Sense, then apps that users typically install may also -- and that's definitely something worthwhile to discover.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
If you look closely the Rezound has faster CPU and RAM. The SD card is killing the scores.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
All this is true... That's a dam good benchmark IMO with the phone stock and bloated lol.
[HTC Rezound] xyphan:
It's interesting to see that the benchmark proves some hardware points. the GPU on the Rezound is superior (as it is on paper), but the cpu suffers since it is still based mostly on older cortex architecture. once the rezound sees an ICS upgrade, it will prove a formiddable opponent, especially since ICS actually takes advantage of said GPU and dual core CPU's.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
they are so close it doesnt even matter....:cool:

im sure sense has alot to do with the benches.....im surprice the g nex doesnt score higher.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Tbh even if it is on an older artchitecture it's a possibility this could be a refresh. Even if it is "older" I find that qualcomm cpus always keep up w/ the newer high end processors. Any performance issues has nothing to do with hardware, and this has been an ongoing issue with Android. No true hardware acceleration (ICS will change that hopefully) and heavy manufacterer skins. I'm sure AOSP or a stripped down version of sense and any lag this phone will be gone. ALthough I really haven't experienced any true lag, just UI slowdowns that have been mostly rectified w/ a 3rd party launcher.
[HTC Rezound] xyphan:
the rezound uses a processor from qualcomm's S3 family, which are all based on cortex a8. the nexus/razr cpu's are based on cortex a9 architecture. the rezound will always be behind in that regard. htc knows of this limitation, which is why they've maxed out the rezound's cpu to 1.5GHz, to keep up with the more efficient competition. although, i have heard that the rezound's s3 is a hybrid of a8/a9, so who knows for sure.

where the rezound has potential is in its adreno 220 gpu, which is superior to the nexus/razr's power vr sgx 540. the sgx 540 has been around for far too long and should have been refreshed by now. it's even in my galaxy s phone.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah it is from the s3 family eventhough they should of released the kraits by now :rolleyes:. The s3 MSM8660 ranges form 1.2 - 1.5 , I'm assuming the one's in the Rezound are the cherry picked ones, from the center of the wafers. They were going to release the QSD8672 @ 1.5 but that was scrapped for whatever reason. The MSM8960 will be the 1.5 - 1.7 dual core krait w/ the adreno 225 w/ dual channel @ 500mhz opposed to single channel @ 333mz. The MSM8660 keeps up with the 4430 and 4460 imo, I just wonder how much better the s4's the kraits will be compared to the s3. The . Oh well no issues with performance w/ this combo imo.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
Yea the s3 is a HIGHLY modified version of the A8. So much much....it can barely be said its using a8. :)

the cpu isnt maxed out at 1.5....its just how it came from qualcomm its just how the 8660 is made. Im hoping to see stable 2.0 ghz kernels for it....
[HTC Rezound] xyphan:
okay, fine. what i meant by maxed out was that qualcomm's upper limit on paper for the 8660 is 1.5GHz. I'm sure people will change that though.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Adreno 220: 88M triangles/sec, 532M 3D pixels/sec, 1080p video recording and playback up to 30 frames/second. Pretty beast GPU. He is correct that the 86xx series is indeed based off a modified A8 architecture.
[HTC Rezound] xyphan:
Can't wait for the krait.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
I know! the die size is also MUCH smaller, so it will be more power efficient.

from all of the reading i have done, the krait will be the most power efficient, and be in the middle of the pack in regards to performance. when it comes to the performance level we are seeing with this next gen.....it doesnt even matter anymore....
[HTC Rezound] Blue Biker:
The Qualcomm is a reimplementation of the A8 architecture w/some tweaks. Since a vanilla A9 is about 20-25% faster than a vanilla A8 at the same clock, it's estimated that 1.5GHz Rezound and 1.2GHz Nexus are within about 5%.

SGX540 is old, but it has some kick. IIRC, it was clocked at only 200MHz on the Galaxy S, but reportedly 384MHz on Galaxy Nexus. It's nowhere near iP4S speed, but faster than iP4's SGX535.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
thats the truth, but the a9's cannot be higher clocked vs the a8's

so i think all in all the rezound vs gnex will be dead even. gnex taken to 1.5-1.7 and rezound to 1.8-2.0
[HTC Rezound] Blue Biker:
Normally I'd agree, but the OMAP4460 is nominally rated for 1.5GHz stock. If the Nexus is clocked at 1.2GHz strictly for battery reasons and not due to binning, then it might very well overclock to 2GHz or more.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Tbh 300 mhz isn't going to make a huge world of difference, we have to remember at a certain point diminishing returns come into play. Rezound and Nexus will have similar performance except in 1 area graphics. The Adreno 220 is a superior GPU compared to the power 540 (pretty outdated). I wonder what they can accomplish with the 225 which is supposed to be 50% faster than the 220. The first krait for the smartphones will be paired with the 225 and if I see stellar improvements I might just jump on the first krait phone :D. It's probably extra hardware power we don't need, so it's just more of want for my inner nerd. Current gen hardware doesn't have much or possibly any software that pushes it to the limit. Any lag/slow downs we have, the Android OS and Flash to thank for that. Hopefully ICS will rectify the issues that have plagued Android from day one.
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
That would be some craziness....Im personally rooting for both phones.....i have till january 9th to make up my mind....or not get one at all. I MIGHT wait for the next gen stuff to come out.

The S4's have an intergrated 4g radio....so that should see some pretty significant results in regards to battery life on 4g due to the second gen radio....but who knows how the omap5 will be.... so many choices for the inner geek in me!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You'll never have the latest and greatest for long unless you're willing to fork out the money. The new battery technology that's coming out is very promising as well, can't wait to see that. I doubt there's going to be much difference in terms of performance s3 vs s4 and possibly omap 4 and 5. We will see though!:D
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
you may be right....especially with dual cores. but i will say that with my dinc2 i went from 1ghz to 1.2 and the phone FELT twice as fast. :)

I wish they would stop with the quadcore non sense and optimize some second or third gen dual cores.

I would hold off on the krait till you see the omap5. it has the same die size(28nm)...but with a15 art.
[HTC Rezound] Blue Biker:
Absolutely! The quads are supposed to bring clever power management, but I'd rather they apply that tech to faster duals.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

I just noticed on the graph that while Rezound has fairly crappy floating point, its integer processing is terrific.

On a desktop, unless you're running games or engineering apps or transcoding, integer is king and what makes a machine feel fast. Is it the same on a phone?
[HTC Rezound] combatmedic870:
I dont know whats up with the cpu floating point....if it was like the rest it would be on top. Maybe sense is sucking the life out of it?

Also, im going to assume its the same for a phone.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Overclocking can show perfromance gains for sure there's no doubts about that. But overclocking after a certain point can have diminishing returns. I really don't think theres anything out at the moment that really challenges the dual core devices at stock speeds. Single core at the moment seems to notice more performance gains from overclocking. The OS doesn't fully support dual core yet I believe ,and they want to push out quad. Hopefully ICS' hardware acceleration make dualcore performance shine more. I agree they are pushing out hardware faster than they need to, but that's just the time we live in. I'm sure once phones hit quad it should slow down a bit, android has been slow down a bit already. Snapdragons seem to have been performing quite better than omap, older processors/chipsets seem to be keeping up with omaps newer offerings. But yeah you are right, just gotta wait.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Looking at the Nexus antutu scores:

Galaxy Nexus @ 1.5 ghz 4.0.1 --> 5787 total score

RAM : 856

CPU Ingeger: 1947

Cpu float-point : 857

2D: 296

3D : 1244

I/O : 280

SD W : 10.9 MB/s

SD R : 63.5 MB/s

I have seen several Nexus scores which I'm sure have been ran numerous times to try to stack the score. The score here seems to be 1st run.

RAZR @ 1.2 ghz 2.3.5 --> 6092

CPU Ingeger: 1619

Cpu float-point : 1287

2D: 298

3D : 1201

I/O : 540

SD W : 17.0 MB/s

SD R : 28.8 MB/s

Rezound @ 1.5 ghz

CPU Ingeger: 1958

Cpu float-point : 860

2D: 278

3D : 1254

I/O : 350

SD W : 10.6 MB/s

SD R : 12.0 MB/s

First run with a class 10 SD card on my Rezound.

To be honest because of all the fluxes in scores per bench to bench and we're uncertain what the user did before hand. Like if they task killed everything to boost scores and that Nexus was overclocked and i've seen some @ 1.2 that got higher scores. I feel that there are just too many variables from benchmarking to effectively state this is phones "true" performance. Hard to compare a phone to another phone via bench scores. I mean the Nexus due to ICS should have the best "performance" due to hardware acceleration. I'm positive it has nothing to do with antutu not recording scores incorrectly. I say we just take these benches with a grain of salt and as long as the phone performs what we need it to do then who cares right?

Edit: I'm pretty sure the Rezound is bogged down the most though by Sense. Still the heaviest skin out there to date.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
here's mine for my Rezound

RAM: 897

CPU Integer: 1963

CPU Float Point: 865

2D graphics: 281

3D graphics: 1261

IO: 300

SD Write: 6.2mbs 62

SD Read: 31.6mbs 194

CPU Freq: 1512mhz

Total: 5823

They've consistently been in the 5800s, had one in the 5790s the other day, as well as one in the 5900s, they have usually been right around 5850 give or take 20 or 30... Also have the standard SD it comes with

Not bad IMO for a stock, bloated, sense phone... I'm liking how it compares to the Nexus at the same clock on vanilla ICS

Edit: why the hex are there br / things everywhere? Lol

Edit 2: nvm they went away lol.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Looks like the SD card tests are quite erratic. The Rezound comes with a class 4 SD card so you'd assume the class 10 would perform better :x. Could just be a ****ty class 10, but I've never been disappointed with PNY products.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Lol I see that now. I just double checked everything and that's what it is... The SD write for the class 10 is almost double though
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
After looking at yours a little closer I decided to test it myself.....

Here is what I get... Almost spot on with Glaxy nexus.... This was after a fresh reboot and running CleanTOOL that I have in the Dev section

Only real diff was the SD Write speed is down by a hair. I think that accounts for the differnece.

Also, this was repeatable multiple times.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Nice did you change the SD card or anything?

As I said before, considering this phone is running sense and its bloated and on 2.3.4 Ginger... My original assumption that this phone will out perform the Nexus seems to be correct lol...
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
No, I did not touch anything on the SD. But... wehn prompted to choose an SD card I choose the internal storage instead of external storage.

Also,I am sure I can get past the Galaxy Nexus. CleanTOOL was just my first attempt at a tool for VZW phones. I just came over from Sprint so I dont knwo what all the VZW bloat does yet so I was being very conservative.Tomorrow I am confident I will be a notch above the galaxy.

Its like you said... Its way too bloated. My CleanTOOL free's up like 200 megs and kils about 20 processes. IM gonna start doing hard core killing tonight just have not had a moment away from work since I got the phone yesterday. SO for the first attempt not too shabby :D
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I have no doubt that the scores will improve on a stripped down sense/aosp. Hell the phone still does everything we need without sweating, and will continue to do so for contract term. I've had like 7-8 phones this year LOL, but in the end my expense was only $300 :D. I think I'll be sticking with this baby for awhile, I'm happy with it in every manner.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XaeroT:
Is this a developer only setting or is needed for the internet to work right? According to the Sprint developer website (the only place that mentions these values):

Does this mean it is supposed to be blank or are the values hidden but pre-programmed into the phone? The current value I have is 0.0.0.0 which may be incorrect.
[Motorola Photon 4G] craby1925:
I was wondering about the possibilities of a chrome os replacing webtop on our photons. Since it is Linux based like webtop, could it be possible to relayed ubuntop with chrome os?(see ubuntop forum for elaboration) Either way I was just thinking it would be perfect since there's Eucharistic simple GUI for the os.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I can't believe I didn't see this post til now, sorry. Your question is very valid and deserves an answer.

ChromeOS and Moto's Webtop are, at their core, a web based OS (think cloud computing) in functionality. Granted, ChromeOS would be much smaller and faster than Moto's Webtop but still has all the failings of cloud computing. Cloud (ChromeOS, Webtop and so on) are based on the premise that you will ALWAYS have a working internet connection. We (the world) all know that this is rarely ever that case. So the premise is flawed from the start. Let's look at a real world scenario.

You need to write a report for school or work and are using Cloud (ChromeOS, Webtop and so on). While working on the report your internet connection goes down. It's a cellular outage/ internet provider outage and you do not have an alternative connection. The webpages you have open are still there but with cloud you can no longer continue to write that report. Your document creation/editing is somewhere on that, now inaccessible, internet. I, on the other hand, am running a stand alone OS (webtop+/ubuntop). Like you, my webpages are still open but I can also continue to work on that report due to me not being tied to the internet for document creation/editing.

The argument could be made that you could always use an Android office suite to continue working which is true. Try doing any real document work in android, it's a real pain in the ass. I know, as almost all things related to the Evo Desktop PC project was done in android.
[Motorola Photon 4G] elessarelfstar:
Sorry to resurrect this. All of the above being said, would it be difficult to use the most current version of chromium OS for web top?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Even the latest Chrome OS is still mainly a cloud based system. For what programs that do have standalone functions they still fall short of what UbunTop offers. For example, GIMP and OpenOffice are long term "standards compliant" programs and supported on multiple platforms. ChromeOS also offers far less in the way of software choices when compared to UbunTop which can run most ARM compiled programs based on Debian.

The other factor that now has to be considered is the removal of Webtop support by Motorola. Support for Webtop and webtop replacements will disappear with the ICS update on all webtop enabled phones leaving the users with Android based tablet mirroring mode. Even if you were to replace Webtop with the latest ChromeOS, it will no longer function as soon as you move to ICS. In short Webtop OR ICS, can't have both. The same applies to ChromeOS as well.

Projects, like Ubuntu Installer, that use disk images and VNC will still function on ICS. The draw back to this is that you loose audio support and external device support like flashdrives. Another issue is how VNC interacts with the disk image. There is also the issue that using disk images on the Atrix and Photon have very limited support. A specific Kernel/ROM combination has to be used to even get it to function.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isoDUB:
i just bought a Fascinate today that was rooted. it's on 2.2.2, and as far as i can tell there is no custom rom on it. how do i go about unrooting, and if i do, will i be able to root again? i want a completely fresh start since i don't know what this guy has done on the phone.

also, the battery cover is pretty messed up. it still works but it has a lot of scratches. anyone know a good battery cover under $10 including shipping?
