[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eclair~:
The first two benchmarks being better than everything else was due to ICS, with the SoC playing a minimal role here. The last two were based more on the chips inside the devices, where the SGSII was obviously superior to that of the Galaxy Nexus.

Ananadtech even states it themselves:

The Galaxy Note itself outperforms the Galaxy S II even though they both contain the same SoC, so not even resolution plays a role here. Benchmarks themselves are not extremely significant, but it would be somewhat idiotic to ignore them. When from a reputable source they do not lie. To myself they do not matter at all as long as my device can perform well, handle recently released software and remain smooth.

The Galaxy Nexus is good, but it is not currently the most powerful phone out there. Not that this even matters. There will always be something better around the corner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Good point. Is that a phone though? I thought it was a tablet..... And yes, I agree the Exnyos hardware is the best on the market right now. I mean that Mali GPU really destroys everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Nope....5 inch phone technically. It's like a mix like the dell streak. It can be used as a phone still....has the dialer and all that, just a larger screen and higher resolution.

Basically a supersized Galaxy S II with a better display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It's a good thing I don't play many games or sit there running benchmarks all day as my GN arrives Wednesday. Boy would I be upset instead of being stoked. *rolls eyes*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
Question, we know that the Mali 400 GPU of the Exynos beats the GPU found in GN's SGX 540. What about the performance of the CPU at the same clock frequency? Both are using the cortex A9 architecture so they should be pretty similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
Not only are Quadrant benchmarks awful and not indicative of real world performance, but they're a combination of a bunch of different things, and the standard version doesn't give you any way to determine which portion of the benchmark is the bottleneck.

OK, here goes nothing:

SGS II:

Nexus:

Notice how in CPU, the Nexus is only a tad bit lower then the SGSIIs, by an amount that could easily be caused by background apps or OS optimizations, nothing that you'd really notice in the real world. The GN actually scores higher in 2D, and, admittedly, half as fast as 3D (this could be a combination of how ICS handles 3D performance and the fact that the SGSII really does have an amazing GPU).

Now notice that the biggest differences, that cause the big difference in score, are I/O and Memory. Both of these things are HIGHLY OS DEPENDENT, and across completely different kernels, operating system versions, and hardware platforms, can't be compared like quadrant does.

The over all # difference is all because of some BS mem and io tests that quadrant does (tests that have been shown to be easily manipulatable, FWIW), not because of the CPU/GPU (although the SGS II does have a more powerful GPU - the GPU in the nexus is more then powerful enough for hardware acceleration, and probably 95% (or even 99%) of games on the market.

In fact, notice the HUGE DIFFERENCE in I/O that the two SGSIIs have between AT&T and T-Mobile, they score about the same overall, but the T-Mo performs MUCH worse in the other stats, but makes up for it in I/O. This really won't lead to a real world performance increase, only a artificial benchmark increase. The fact that memory and I/O is SO MUCH lower on the GS is what brings the scores down, and clearly that's not impacting the performance at all. Specs wise, Samsung isn't putting RAM/Flash in that performs 4x better, and the two SGSIIs don't have onboard flash that differs in performance that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
not meaning to start a fight r anything, and excellent comparison notwithstanding, my captivate(Galaxy S- SGX540 200mhz)on cm7 smoothly runs all games on the market, havent tested 9mm tho. I have yet to find a game that doesnt run on it. And at the risk of being flamed, i can safely bet that there wont b a game on the android market that wont run on the SGN for atleast the next 2 yrs. Not comparing it to the Exynos, but the 4460 is easily one of the most powerful Soc's around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
I completely agree - that was my point. While the GPU might bench a little lower then the SGSII, I can play most games on my old N1, and the SGN blows that out of the water - chances are that it'll be able to play everything in the market until the next two Nexus devices come out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
I also have a SGS on CM7 and have trouble running some games. For instance Shadowguns only runs after I install Chainfire3D and reduce the texture size.. do games use more CPU or GPU when it comes to 3D graphics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Shadowgun n 9mm are among the 5%. I haven't testd shadowgun because I thought it was a tegra game so I run it on my transformer.

sent from my tablet,NOT AN IPAD!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertyaas:
On my Captivate, I used to get laggy running a handful of games. Not even texture heavy games like Shadowgun.

Edit: Sorry for the necro bump, didn't notice this was an older topic...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Does the Galaxy Nexus come with earbuds with Music controls like the Nexus One?

I have a set of Sony's but my LG G2x screwed the pooch and changes the pin layout so they don't work properly.

I'm just wondering if one comes in the box and/or they are using standard control sets.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Comes with some earphones but they don't have music controls, just a little mic and button for calls or whatever.

correct me if i'm wrong here but they look awfully similar to the nexus s ones i think?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
assuming all your syncs are turned on and youve ticked the notifications in settings like you say, have you tried just uninstalling and reinstalling the app?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonkx:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad the Cat:
Did you also wipe cache and data and system on reinstalling a ROM ? Might help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad the Cat:

Nice fresh thread. All in one place. MODs (preferably "pstevep") please make this a STICKY
[HTC Rezound] DirgeExtinction:
Though the answer is probably in the links, I'll still ask:

What good is temp root? Just curious. Wouldn't it go back to stock after a reboot?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
With temp root you can freeze the Verizon bloatware. It will stay frozen after you reboot and lose root access, although the market may try to update it anyway. You can also restore Titanium backups while you have temporary root if you want to restore data to a particular set of apps from your prior phone.
[HTC Rezound] pstevep:
It allows you to not go crazy waiting for permanent root.. I used it to clean out crap, oc the stock kernel.. Mostly though it helps the end user not freak out as much..

Edit: stuck. Let's make sure we keep this one going.

any suggestions on which root to use? i just looked and they both seem to be the same but im just checking
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
To my knowledge, they are the same. I used Nils', and it worked for about 5 minutes. Sadly, not enough time to get the crap frozen.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
so then ill just wait till we get a perm root it hopefully wont be that long
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
That's my plan. I'll probably keep it as is until after Christmas. Hopefully we'll all get a nice Christmas present.
[HTC Rezound] koszor:
i got temp root on my phone successfully but when i try to freeze bloat, the app says it worked but nothing actually got frozen

anyone experience this?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Use titanium backup pro.

Ill be watching this closely. If the rezound gets s-off ill probably sell my bionic and get the rezound as a christmas gift.
[HTC Rezound] koszor:
just installed it, but at the start page, theres no tab for me to find my apps and freeze bloat

edit:

manually mounted my SD card, anyone having a similar problem try this
[HTC Rezound] Superguy:
I had to do that too.

It seems USB debugging enabled causes that.
[HTC Rezound] azgoofball:
Ok I bricked my phone somehow,, and was able factory reset it. Somehow when I did the root, it lost the radio..
[HTC Rezound] WorldOfJohnboy:
There are lots of threads/comments/etc. on the Temp Root being unstable (to put it kindly). Essentially, it works best if you reboot your phone then kill all tasks (including HTC Sense, etc.) Then, run the Temp Root and work quickly to Freeze apps and/or restore as for most people, Temp Root is lost within seconds or about a minute.

For now I am just biding my time hoping that S-Off comes so i can fully restore and de-bloat. I actually got a boot loop last time I tried to Temp Root and had to factory reset, so I don't trust it.

You could check out the thread I've started there. I have compiled a short bunch of info regarding ways to contact HTC, Verizon, and Google regading S-Off for the HTC Rezound.

Talking with a XDA member regarding re-starting his online petition for the Rezound, and will take any advice on other outlets that we can use to hopefully get one of the Big 3 to unlock this bootloader. I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Good luck, and Happy Holidays.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Did we get an update or something, because using "bettertemproot" is now making my phone restart for no reason, and had been running completely stable since Mon. Did verizon push us some type of update?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Doubt it. You would have to accept the OTA update then install it.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Two nights ago my phone rebooted randomly for the first time since I have owned it. I think that perhaps it had to do with the network issues?

I only temp rooted it to get rid of Sense and the Bloat, but that was two weeks ago.
[HTC Rezound] acroanidd:
I'm pretty sure that the random reboots are network related, when I had the Rezound, during the network outages on the 8th i believe it was my phone was boot looping for what seemed like 2 or 3 hours, if i took out the sim card, turned on airplane mode, and replaced the sim card, it would stay running until i tried turning the network on again. I dont know what it is with the Rezound when the network goes out that causes that problem but I'm pretty sure it is related.
[HTC Rezound] sdsurferbob:
Been a little while since I last checked in, and being a month+ out from release now, I was hopeful we'd have S-OFF by now. Alas, the wait continues. I can't imagine it'll be too much longer now folks, hang on to your hats. Can't wait to get some custom ICS going on this hardware :)
[HTC Rezound] dm5530:
Sensation has S-OFF; how different is Rezound

and how is it different?

From what I've read, the Sensation seems to be an earlier sibling from HTC. May be incorrect but perhaps that heritage provides some info that can help get to S-OFF for the Rezound.

Just trying to better understand and appreciate the effort required to get to S-OFF and a rooted Rezound.

Here is the Sensation thread on xda: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Quite a bit has changed since that thread was started.

The security and hboot encryptions, etc have all been hardened by HTC (Thats what she said!).

Its a completely differnt ball game now.
[HTC Rezound] bobcat331:
I'm wondering if it only affected ones with temp root? I haven't had that issue and mine's still stock.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
I have temp root and never have experienced a random reboot. My network hasn't gone down in my area that I know of anyways. Here in Birmingham, AL.
[HTC Rezound] DJ Carpenter:
The random reboots are a network issue and there is a fix for it. I had to fix mine last night because it boot looped for several hours and I've yet to temp root.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
What was the fix for it? I am temp rooted and have yet to reboot, but would be nice just incase.. Boise id, and the network seems pretty solid here.
[HTC Rezound] DJ Carpenter:
You just dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone information.

Then scroll down to the bottom and it will say WCDMA preferred and change it to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto. Then reboot and it should be fixed.

I temp rooted earlier but already lost it because my phone died.
[HTC Rezound] jbg25:
couldn't you just use the app...phone info? It allows you to pick the data network you want...(ie, CDMA auto, CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto, LTE w/voice, etc)

interestingly...the phone gives options for GSM and GSM/LTE and global networks. did not see that on my thunderbolt.
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Just checked mine. It was already set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto. Are there different models of the Rezound out?
[HTC Rezound] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, you could if you wanted to. But, I wouldn't want to if I could just do a couple of things and fix it rather than having to download something to do it.

Plus, I think it's faster to change it in the settings.

Yeah, I was wondering why there was a global option listed.

I don't think so. From what I read on the whole reboot issue, something causes the phone to switch to the WCDMA for no reason at all.

But, I don't know if that means mine will go back to rebooting at some point later on or if mine was just set to something other than CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto to begin with.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
I read in a couple of the forums that people have gotten their hands on a couple of rezounds with s-off already on them. Is there a way to pull the info off of one of those devices to help in our quest to achieve s-off, and if not, is there any updates on the s-off progress? Im living with temp root now, but its a pita to have to redo it every time I reboot the phone or it dies...lol

Everyone keep up the great work and lets all hope for s-off SOON!!

You may laugh at this request but if any one has an S-OFF Rezound they would be willing to trade for an S-ON Rezound I would love to get a head start on developing ROM's.

I flashed this rom because i had sense 3.0 on my Rezound, and i preferred sense 3.5.

I know the Sensation and the Rezound have almost the same specs. Is there any reason to not use guides and custom roms of the sensation?
[HTC Rezound] jbg25:

Makes sense....wish I had the knowledge/tools necessary to de-odex myself. I miss having tools like Xeudoxus' xUltimate for the D1 (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html). Could cook up lots of neat stuff on your own.
[HTC Rezound] pickaxe300:
Installing s-off?? Did you actually achieve this?
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
So...

Now that the bootloader is unlocked (thank you HTC), and perma root is established, what's the next step to getting the security turned off? I'm sure it's not as big of a deal now that we can do more than 90% of what we need with the current status, but a full unlock of the phone is the main goal.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
whats the process for perma root, the same as temp root?

I have it unlocked, debugging on, charge only. But TI keeps saying no root. Do I have the phone fully on, or do I root by doing power volume down instead of turning it on?
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
That's a good question. Might have to take a look over at the Evo3D forum and see what they are doing. I would assume since we are unlocked now there isn't much of an urgency to get it done.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365654

Make sure after you root the first thing to do is flash a custom recovery and make a nandroid of your stock setup. Just in case.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Exactly what I was thinking. Since everyone is happy with having freedom now, there isn't a desperation for S-off anymore. But still... the ability to overclock and undervolt this phone would be fantastic.

This phone has so much potential if S-off is established, making it 100% unlocked and free to do what you want. Better radios, optimized kernels, speedy ROMs, brilliant themes...

I think I might cry..... :D
[HTC Rezound] apathet:
Will the devs continue to work on unlocking and S-off? I would imagine that we might be able to get the phone back to stock if we needed to use the warranty so long as HTC doesn't know about the unlocking of the bootloader... Or would there be some trace in the bootloader that it was once unlocked even through non-official HTC means?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
So other than perm root, what has unlocking the phone actually given us? We can install a couple ROM's that basically are the stock ROM with bloat removed, or Sense removed, which are things that we were already able to do with temp root.

So other than Perm Root to run a few apps that require it, what have we really gained? I am reading that we cannot flash radios, we won't be able to install an ICS port, etc...

And in the end, we may end up deleting some files that are needed for when the ICS OTA does come out, could we be shooting ourselves in the foot here?

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

How do we even return the phone to stock at this point? Is there a true stock RUU file out there that we can put on the SD card and use the stock recovery to flash?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Kernels can be flashed via fastboot, ruu files are posted here you run them from your pc though after re-locking the phone. Why do you think ics ports won't be an option?

[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
1) Permanent root means that you don't lose root every time you power cycle your phone.

2) You can install a custom Recovery such as CWM or Amon Ra and have easy access to it and the ability to flash ROMs, themes, kernals, etc.

3) this is just Day 1 of having permanent root. More ROMS will be developed as the days go by, I guarantee it.

3) we will ICS one way or the other.
