well my sensation supported up to 14 meg and in the same exact areas never saw over 5. also tell me what you can do with a Xyenos processor that you cant do with the one we got
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Um your point valid we know its an inferior. But still it does what i needs to do you won't actually see the performance difference on the same optimized rom like cyanogenmod or miui. You won't even notice fps difference since their both locked at 60fps. So its fine. The point is its superior as seen on paper and benchmark test but they both work perfectly fine. The exynos doesn't give you wings.

There are no games the both processors can't play smoothly. Tell the truth most apps and everything start up at the same time and speed. So having all that processing power which will be null and void in like a year or two will really matter. A lot of apps and games say not compatible with the samsung galaxy s2 yet. Because of the processor and gpu combo. This is for the original version of the galaxy s2.

If the exynos made me play a game that can only run on that processor then yeah. But it doesn't. It doesn't make anything load faster either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] redline06:
by the time a game comes out that fully puts a either of those processors to use we will be using another phone with different processors and who cares about games on a phone, just get a ps3,360 or pc for that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bimboy:
You have a warped sense of reason if you think that the difference in performance between the Exynos and the SD3 constitutes your statement: "the actual processor sucks".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian_v3ntura:
i alrdy told you, CLIFF NOTES: better gaming and better processing crunch.

you're talking about the sensation. not remotely close to anything equipped with exynos. its easy to claim something without providing concrete proof. you can say your sensation never got past 5mbps in the same areas, but that can depend on a number of things.

1)reception efficiency of the radio

2)tower upgrade timeline in specific areas

3)blowing smoke.

there are no games that both processors cant play smoothly? i guess you played EVERY GAME then right? Here's an example of a game; dungeon defenders.

i'm just waiting for the new-gen of games to come out to really see the limits of this qualcomm dual-core snapdragon. the new-gen games are closer to release dates than you think.

PLUS any mobile processor is pretty much null and void within a year or two. But at least the Exynos has a better chance of holding its ground.

not entirely true. not willing to summarize what i said above. i forgot to add that "Bladeslinger" may be THE game that will show the performance difference between the two.

i care about mobile gaming. its a nice thing to to have when you're away. its fun. plus the only thing i play on console is COD.

sucks in the sense of old hardware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
All in all. It's your opinion and your view of what fits your needs right? It's not being constructive to give criticism when it only is one sided. I can tell you value the best and fastest in technology. there are ways to express it than to bring everyone down. I could care less about gpu or the type of processor because I have an actual laptop for that. I am happy with the speed and response of this phone. So to downplay things you think are wrong with this phone with cliffnotes and technical theories then you really aren't being constructive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
I played dungeon defenders I'm rooted it doesn't slow down or anything. I don't see your point. BladeSlinger is for all android devices.... Not to mention ShadowGun looks exactly like it in quality and i can play that on my device as well smoothly. Bladeslinger also pauses in the middle of gameplay to do a special move. Shadowgun enemies are always shooting at you.

Chainfire prove before that all you need is simple plugins to run the tega2 only games or qualcomm only games on any device. What makes you think it will be so different in the future. No one will be using the same exynos next year majority of ppl will sell of the galaxy s2 or the galaxy s3. It will be the same with the Qualcomm processor for the new krait or the new tegra3 processor. I can play dungeon defenders on mytouch 4g with its single core processor on miui. So what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I play shadowgun and similar type games. Riptide also without any slowdown. Graphics look great and performance is not slowed. I do also agree that exynos should not be the poster child for what is the future of processors. Tech improves and as long as capitalism is around, companies will continue to try and away you to one phone over another. do you think Samsung or x manufacturer builds these phones for a small percentage of hackers and modders or the masses who are easily swayed into buying what "the man" tells them is cool? How many people do you think care about ics or gpu or even the name of their processor or screen in their phone? I would say people buy phones as a social status first, features second, and specs last. Imo Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Hi,

Sorry for that question, but I've not found something about it here: I'd like to wipe the battery stats of my 3.2 not rooted A500.

Is there a way to do it? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Depending on which version of CWM you're using it should be in the "wipes" menu. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Sorry, I lost this part: "VWM"... :o (completely newbie for Android HC tablets...)

What does it mean?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Oooops supposed to be CWM but my keyboard corrected me lol

(Clockwork Mod) ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
ah...lol...ok!

But my A500 is not root! (and I sincerely don't want to...)

So, since it's not a root one, it seems I can't wipe battery stats, can I? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
This will get it done for you since you're not rooted. ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Awww geeze, I didn't even notice that, sorry.

Yet another good reason to root? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
LOL

no problem at all!

about rooting... uh... not yet... I'm feeling too lazy about it, because my device is on 3.2... :rolleyes:

but, who knows... maybe later I'll try to do it...
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Not totally sure about this but.

It would make sense if you detour display to not go off leave it on. Run battery totally down. Until there is nothing less.then totally charge it being off.

It should then have no record ofuse.

Just guessing here.

Good luck.

Hope you're right!

Anyway, I'm going to make the "airplane mode" trick to possibly drain battery slowly... :p
[LG Optimus 3D] raskall:
I observe that overclocking is now possible on the O3D. I have this phone myself and have acurateams brilliant ROM on it.

The user experience is fantastic and I do not have any speed issues at all, except my Class 2 SD Card (which NO rom will fix).

Why is it necessary to overclock this device?
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
the correct question is actually "why not?" ;)

seriously though, there is no reason not to. more performance is more performance and the process of finding the fastest clock it can do is fun.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
First time i played 9mm-Gameloft without any lag at all was after OC. So this is one of the reasons. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] destroyerpl:
Overclocking is philosophy;)

Is the great fun with positive effects?;)
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
Its not "necessary" to overclock, unless you have a very specific need for more CPU power (eg emulators).

However if you are one of the people who likes to always get the most for their money, it just makes sense.

Plus it makes your phone more comparable to newer models which helps you "put up with it" for that bit longer before upgrading.

Bear in mind I have been in your position so many times. Thinking "oh its fast enough, I don't need to overclock" and then curiosity got the better of me. Then when you clock back down you immediately feel the difference in responsiveness.
[LG Optimus 3D] veto101:
Has your battery life been reduced by much since oc?
[LG Optimus 3D] greenbat:
With regular use of the phone, battery life is the same.

However with a lot of benchmarking, 3d gaming, videorecording and videoediting it will run out of juice faster...
[LG Optimus 3D] Gerrett:
OC is only for a bigger e-peen :D

Okay maybe you need this with crap lg software ;-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat_For_Sale:
Hello Supersonic Community,

I come to you in my time of need, I have spend the last 3 days at work trying to downgrade an Evo 4g to 2.1. from 2.2.

Initially I ran unrEVOked3 reflash package as from what I read it would probably be the easiest place to start from an unrooted 2.2.

Once I was rooted on 2.2 I followed the guide from here

and used the RUU/Zip files from here

I currently have the phone in a state where it will only load into the bootloader and I do have a working amon ra recovery.

When I try flashing the RUU's PC36img.zip file from hboot I see that it "checks" the zip file however I am not prompted to run the update.

and when trying to run the RUU zip file from recover it says there is not update script.

My main question is if anyone knows why I am not prompted for the update from Hboot or if its possible to flash from recovery back to stock 2.1

I come from a Nexus S and HTC Desire background and have a bit of knowledge just kinda stumped right now on this one. I am currently trying different SD cards for the hboot flash as I have read that it can be a bit finicky.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
It all goes back to the Hboot version you have. I think it's anything over 2.10 you can't downgrade.

I think your best bet is to just flash a stock/Rooted 2.1 ROM or a custom Froyo ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goat_For_Sale:
Well my HBoot is .79 so I hopefully can recover to 2.1.

I basically can't have a rooted phone, I work in mobile QA and we can't test on devices that are rooted. Which I know is a bit retarded but thats how it works for us right now.

If I flash a stock 2.1 rooted Rom I should be able to unroot.... at the very least uninstalled su and my boss won't know hehe

Thanks for your reply.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Did your phone come with that hboot? If your hboot and radio match the ruu you are trying to flash, then it should be good to go. If you r s-off while trying, even better. Do you have 20k or 40k block sizes?

Hi all. I need to consult with the factory settings. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and I had finished there utility to lock telefomu but do not know the combination to start now (son played :-)) and the phone is locked and you can call it Only authorized emergency calls. I wanted to solve a hard reset, but if I turn off the phone and simultaneously hold both buttons and the bottom edge at the same time I turn on the phone, nothing happens and when both the lower button is released, so the phone starts up normally and everything is repeated again. Is there any advice I said the phone to factory settings? You better write it to get the phone, so restoring the setting is useless, because they get there. Thanks for any advice ...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hobakill:
tl;dr - see subject

i have to vent here for a few minutes.

i'm sorry but the camera on this phone - or at the very least the software that controls it - sucks beyond anything i've ever used before. my main issue stems from the brainless way it handles orientation when attaching to things like email, tweets, mms, etc. WHY.THE. can't the software figure out how i took the shot? if i don't post the shot in the exact way that samsung wants me to, my shots come out upside down or rotated the wrong way.

maybe it's me. maybe i'm too big of an idiot to use a camera. oh wait, no. i'm a professional photographer. i know what you're going to say but i like having a phone with a good point and shoot so i don't have to lug around another piece of equipment.

full disclosure, i'm a fruit phone convert and i've only been on android for a month but in that time i've figured out how to put a kickass ROM on the phone (juggernaugh FTW) and a host of other things so i think i'm pretty keen on what the phone can/cannot do.

i feel like a total idiot when i tell people how much radder android is than iphone but i can't seem to send them an appropriately orientated photo.

thoughts?

thanks for letting me rant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brian_v3ntura:
!

yea tl;dr lol just skimmed

but i do agree that the camera sucks. doesn't auto focus on specific double tap areas in low.light conditions.

i.e. room light is on low and i double tap to focus on the TV. TV still blurry and bright.

my Vibrant isolates the TV when i do the same thing. can see what's on my TV clearly instead of blurred and bright.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hobakill:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hobakill:

Ill second the whole orientation thing. I took a picture with the phone upside down, and it made the photo upside down... we have an accelerometer and gyroscope in this thing for a reason!! Its been getting on my nerves.

Other than that the camera is pretty bad ass, ive got no other qualms with the camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
I second this. You sound really full of yourself and think because you are a "pro" photographer you can bash a camera. The orientation issue, I don't have it. My pics post just fine. And quality is good for a phone.

The Amaze camera is not that good. It can complete with some point and shoot cameras in a few scenarios, but it's got poor color reproduction among other issues. All of that HDR **** is just software processing. The Nokia N8 or whichever Nokia has that 12MP lense is where it's at.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sn0warmy:
I agree OP.

The camera on my Sensation blew this one out of the water. This camera takes pictures that look worse than those taken with a $1 disposable camera.

I mean, look...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
Lol ****ty pic.....

But to be fair I think in order for our cameras to reach full potential you have to tweak the dozens of setting put in place by Samsung. I think that's where 3rs party camera apps come in...

So I suggest we turn this thread into a how to/which apps improve pictures on the sgs2.

I myself haven't found a great daily stock replacement camera on the market that works well with a balance of features/picture quality. I tried pudding but the quality suffers a little.. 360 is not for me too much like a toy cam. Vignette is nice I've yet to try it on our phone.

I also have been using the "fall" scene mode on our phone and colors come out 10x more vibrant and saturated

Hi everyone,

I am trying to upgrade my 2.1Android to the 2.3.5 with Dual Touch (MiniCM7Pro_V21), untill now the problem is that i can't install Xrecovery,

the problem i'm facing is this ERROR while trying to install xrecovery:

21/046/2011 13:46:14 - ERROR - cannot stat '.\devices\U20\bootkit\bootkit.tar': No such file or directory

My telephone is an X10 Mini Pro, Build-nr: 2.0.A.0.504 and I think that is the problem.

I've already tried to use the "All in one X10MiniPro" software, is says everything has been installed including xrecovery, but still phone won't show the boot screen after pressing the "Back" button.

If then everythin works I can start worrying about the Querty/Azerty problem it will couse:P

It would seem that TWRP 2.0 is the best option as a recovery for the KF because of its touch interface. 2.0 is not available to the public yet but the team is willing to help get it running on the KF. I have emailed the team and they said they just need devs whom own the device to get on board. I have enough experience to attempt a port and do some testing but not enough experience to do it alone. Anyone interested? Lets go! PM me, post here, and definately stop by the TWRP chat #twrp@freenode. The source for twrp is available via github and there is some info on the twrp website. This seems way more realistic then trying some multi push button Clockwork port
