Androids UI threads do not run at high priority like iOS and windows phone. You can read about this almost anywhere. Touching the screen on an iphone immediately halts all processing and only the display get's access to do work, so the experience is -always- fluid, at the cost of stopping all 'actual' work being done.

ICS will be better with multi-core support, but will still attempt to do work in parallel with screen updates.

But honestly, I never see any of this 'stuttering', or at least, It doesn't bother me very much if it is happening because I don't notice it.
[HTC Rezound] l7777:
Apple has always focused on the visuals of their products more than the actual functionality. Doesn't make it better or worse, just different. If ultra smooth transitions between things are a critical point for you, then you want an Apple device. If you prefer to focus on functionality then you probably want an android device. Just because a UI doesn't flow 100% smooth doesn't ruin the experience for me. For others it might. Google is not blind to the issue, they will eventually work it out, but for now we have what we have.
[HTC Rezound] bjames23:
I really appreciate you posting this article as it easily explains the one big problem I've had with Android. Don't get me wrong though I have and always will continue to have an Android phone. Customization trumps fluidity. Google will correct the issue eventually as mentioned above.

Knowing this makes me feel better about my phones and not quite so concerned with it. It actually makes perfect sense and maybe in a way makes our phones more capable.

I wonder if they will re write android to fix this and act more like ios. Maybe for android 5 lol. Doesn't Microsoft totally re write their is at some points. I'm pretty sure win7 has no win95 code in it at all.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
You just compared apples to oranges. Windows 8 will be MS first cross platform attempt. Which would be like comparing Chrome to Android.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Sadly even ICS doesn't solve this issue at all. Seems the route they're taking are huge hardware bumps in hopes that it will solve the issue. Good hardware cannot cover up faulty coding. I hope Google fixes it soon.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
faulty coding? it's faulty because it runs differently from iOS? please, dude. it doesn't prioritize UI because it can ACTUALLY multitask, unlike iOS. that's the point. if you want a super smooth phone, leave android.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Dude we all love android here.. but if something is screwey then its screwey..no need to go Apple fanboi on us LOL
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
Are you talking to me? Lol.its not faulty. it's how the phone and operating system were created. If you don't like it, that doesn't mean it's faulty. Seriously?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
I am running 2.3.7 with the latest Typhoon Rom and there is a limited time $.10 apps advertised in the market. 9 of the 10 apps show on the device but this app is on market.android.com but I purchased it yet it would not allow me to send it to my device... actually no apps will allow me to send to my device (likely because the HD2 isn't listed as a supported phone on their site.)

https://market.android.com/details?...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdEE2SFAiXQ..

Any suggestions on how to get this game?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cubexe:
I was able to install all these 10cent apps except Asphalt and Swiftkey. So you are not alone with this issue. Maybe our HD2 is really incompatible (graphic chip) ..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vinny13:
I've seen on Youtube that Asphalt 6 is plays pretty well on the HD2... I want to buy it but I can't see it in the market either.

I'm pretty sure that there is a way to change the identity, I think I recall people talking about it in the past when they had market issues with all the apps not being visible. I'd love if someone had a solution for this problem!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cinereus:
Install 4share from the market, in the 4share app type "asphalt 6 apk" download, (not all download links work so don't get upset if you don't score out of your first try) enjoy.

Furthermore, there WAS a market compatibility fix for the SD android version. I'm not sure if the workaround works for NAND as well. But try to search for it.

good luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpassmore:
I went to market to check out these cheap apps..and they have a ton of movies for .99.

you know, if they'd keep movies at 99 cents, I'd never torrent another one again.

Hm, I didn't realize these movies are "rentals"..but I guess at 99 cents for 30 days, its still a fair deal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Respect18:
I dont see NFL Rivals on my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cyclonebee:
And yet almost all of them are "not compatible with your device", so dumb.

That was yesterday's list! It looks like the 10 cent apps will stay 10 cents for the entire 10 days, which is cool. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
ok, i got nfl rivals, i just got onto my computer, n purchased it from there :) i'm just purchasing every single app they have during these 10 days, because in the end, it will cost about $10 for about 100 apps which are usually paid.

out of the 21 (10 yesterday, 11 today), i already had 4 purchased, which equals about $10 right there.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
I posted this in Q&A but got no response so going to try here. I ma running the DarkyROM 10.3 and currently using the KK1 modem. The GPS is just useless on this ROM and modem combo. I have tried a couple of other modems but all of them give me terrible GPS performance. How do I get the GPS usable again on this ROM? What modem seems to work well with the hardware? Is there tweaks that need to be done to the Angry GPS settings to get this working reliably? When I use Google Maps the icon for me just spins around and never gets better than 30 meters accuracy and it is very slow to respond to movement of the vehicle?? Any help would be mucho appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
Have you tried downloading the app called GPS test, clearing agps data, updating agps data, and then rebooting? This fixed all of my gps issues.

Hope this helps solve your problem!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Thanks for the response. I have cleared GPS data with no change. I just downloaded the Darky GPS fix gps.conf file and replaced my stock one and rebooted. Will test that later and see if that has any effect.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tgriffttu:
This may or may not be related to your problem, but it sounds similar to the issues I was having. I never could get any GPS app to give me my speed, bearing, or any reasonably accurate lock. I tried several modems, different ROMs, and searched every forum to no avail. Was about to give up then discovered when I disabled sensor aiding all those properties started working.

Like I said, it very well could've simply been a special case in my situation with a tweak or version bug bit it's worth a try.

I also use an app from the market called Faster Fix which might help. (I believe it simply does the gps.conf file fix for you)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rhcp4ever:
It's often as simple as Samsung's GPS hardware is ****. Utter ****. Sometimes it's software, but with Samsung it's more likely hardware.

I've heard of people sending them to Samsung to get the GPS replaced, could try that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
I get usable GPS with only a couple modems... KI3 is best for me

Maybe that could help?

And some ROMs seem to completely break my GPS... if I recall correctly Darky was one of them
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dh2225:
I used to have pretty accurate and fast locking gps on infused 2.2.3 and kk4 modem. Then I tried Galnet Miui 2.26.11 and damn the gps locks within 10 seconds outside, and the accuracy is incredible around 12ft, and locks to 8 out of 9 satellites. Maybe you should try kk4 modem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tryptonite:
How'd this work for you? I've had no problems with GPS since I bought it on launch day. I've used the Froyo Infused ROM by gtg and recently flashed Darky ROM 10.2 and can't get a lock and GPS Status only sees one satellite. I just flashed Infusion kernel A2 and it didn't change GPS at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Brothers from another mobile mother, or just a case of copycat syndrome? We'll let you be the judge, but from the looks of this latest leak, Samsung's SHV-E120L could be sharing some of the LG LU6200's special spec sauce. Outed over on Cetizen and iNews24, the full breakdown of the device's innards point to a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 HD display, 2 megapixel front-facing / 8 megapixel rear camera, 1GB RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC. We've seen conflicting reports as to the exact version of Gingerbread that'll ship on the phone, with Android 2.3.5 in the running. As for the handset's radios, its purported MDM9600 Gobi chipset indicates tri-mode LTE, HSPA and CDMA compatibility. Sammy's super-sized smartphone could hit South Korea later this month, or in early October --if the passable English in that Google translation can be believed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AceJase:
Has anyone managed to answer this question? I'm having trouble finding a hardware breakdown for both devices. I have heard that the E120L uses a different GPU, but can't confirm. Would be good to know as I'm sure there will be a CyanogenMod release for the Skyrocket but probably unlikely for the E120L as it is a Korea-specific model...

[Motorola Droid X2] prstorero:
I own a Droid 3 but my dad has the x2 and he needs better battery life so I plan on rooting the phone and putting a custom rom on it for him so I wanted to know which rom would be best for him. He uses e mail phone calls and texts a lot and sometimes YouTube videos. If someone could post links for the best suited rom for him along with any scripts that help performance as well as battery that would be great. Also, do I need to install a custom recovery from somewhere else or do I use cwm from rom manager?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Here is everything you need for this phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313103

Any rom will essentially have better battery life since they are all pretty much stripped down versions of the stock ROM. I suggest eclipse. The speedy script and battery fix script are very highly recommended too.

EDIT: Rom Manager doesnt really work with the Droid X2. So you will need the Bootstrap Recovery in the link I posted.
[Motorola Droid X2] prstorero:
Thanks, there's a lot of scripts, which would u recommend flashing over the eclipse rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
The battery fix is a must if you want accurate reading. I am running eclipse 1.3 with speedy v7. Also v6 supercharger but that is more for my gaming. And also the mash up v .5 I am getting between 10-14 hrs on a charge and that is pretty heavy use. On my day off I can go between 8 and 10 hrs but that is very heavy use then. Oh ya make sure you wipe battery stats when you flash or calibrate it after.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
All are safe to use, which is why they were put in that thread. Just read every threads OP before flashing since they usually have instructions to wipe certain things. And I believe the mash up script tells you to turn wifi off before flashing. Just read and you will be good.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
+1 thanks I should of mentioned that.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Ive had my best battery life with Eclipse. Ive been pulling 20+ hours with moderate use. Mostly texting, checking some web pages and trolling XDA and Facebook.

Ive also seen an increase from turning off network provided time under date/time in settings.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I can vouch for the turning off of "network provided time"if settings. It seems the phone "sleeps" better when it is idle.

Also another way to ensure better battery life is by getting into the habit of REBOOTING the phone(power off/on) after EVERY TIME you take it off of the charger. There is a thread explaining why this helps ...I just don't feel like looking for it right now sorry lol :)
[Motorola Droid X2] prstorero:
Does the unplugging go for all droids? That's interesting that turning it off helps battery haha I assume its cause it stops everything that's running.

[Motorola Droid X2] prstorero:
Ya I found that. Is that same issue in the custom roms or just the stock?

I think its a problem with stock GB (seems to be a few issues with stock). But it transfers over to the ROMs because there is no fix for it yet other than to restart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asphire23:
Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while until I got my GN with tmo plan. So far it's been a great phone coming from an iphone 4, definitely a step up and a different experience.

Anyway, wondering if anyone know how to set up the security settings. I set the auto lock to 30mins with pattern pass, and but as soon as I hit the power button and turn it back on, it ask for my pass. I thought it supposed to unlock immediately? unless I left it "off" for more than 30mins. Is this normal on android or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyoteqwik:
I think if you lock manually, it locks. You can let screen time out by itself and it will just unlock. I use 1 minute screen timeout and just let it time out by itself if I'm going back to device soon. Screen time out adjustable in addition to security lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I don't use the pattern unlock so have never run into this, but I think it might be a logical issue. The pattern lock and various other options are under "Screen Security" and so are basically just screen unlocks. The additional option for the auto lock seems superfluous and illogical, but maybe someone else can shed light on that. I am not sure why the auto lock after screen sleep would be needed if the pattern is already needed to reactivate the screen/disable the screen lock...

Keep pressed all 3 buttons until the phone shuts down and startup again (don't stop pressing in between). Recovery screen will show up.

If you do it this way, no need to pull out your battery first.

Here is a themed version of Wireless Tether for anyone who uses it or wants to use it. The app is a free app so I didn't think it would be a problem to post it here for everyone to grab if they want it.

For those that don't know wireless tether is the best (In my opinion) for getting unlimited wife tethering from your phone to your computers either over wifi or bluetooth.
