Go to the windows task manager on your pc -> process and just tell me that you only have one app, and maybe utorrent. Or go to control panel, management tools (i think it's called that way, i'm spanish), services and watch the number of running services. Believe me. You NEVER have only one thing running on a multitask OS. The same applies for android. You can check on "running services" inside settings -> applications. You'll probably have more than 2.

Even in the almost impossible case you got only one app running, if that app is well prepared for multicore, it would use the 4 cores for different tasks (in a browser, for a simple example, one core could manage user interaction, another processing the data.

Don't forget this is all basic theory. It gets way more complicated on the inside, but for a basic explanation, it should work. On the other hand.... this is theory. Things may work differently in different systems, and tweaks can be made, but the basics are still the same.

You can't shut down these background apps he is talking about. You can't do so on Windows neither.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
Unfortunately, no it wont. There are fundamental differences between how the two OSs handle the GUI. In terms of hardware acceleration, ICS won't bring much more than HC. Regardless, it's still a great improvement over Gingerbread.

Just because you don't see multiple apps running at the same time doesn't mean that iOS doesn't multitask. iOS has plenty going on in the background. There is a fundamental difference between the two regarding the handling of GUI. iOS is smoother, but like you said, I'm willing to take Android and all of the benefits and iOS can have its smoother scrolling.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Task managers are no help. The probably do more harm than good. Stuff sitting in memory doesn't slow your phone down. When multiple things are running concurrently, that's when you'll see a performance hit. Just because something is in memory, doesn't mean it's running. Android does an excellent job of managing memory and when it needs to reallocate the memory, it will do so.

Additionally, some task killers run in the background so they can keep killing apps that get spawned. So now you have an app constantly RUNNING "slowing" your phone down. Just let the OS manage your memory. That's one of the fundamental "jobs" of an OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darth_suicune:
I realised about the iOS multitasking after hitting the reply button, in fact, if it didn't have any kind of multitasking you wouldn't be able of receiving phone calls while you're using your iphone :P Anyway, it was just an example to show how multitasking works. Maybe an incorrect one, but the only one i could think about after reading sooooo much android vs ios for today
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
Here's a good way to distinguish how multitasking between the two OS' differ. Keep in mind that I haven't owned an "i" device for a while, so I'm not sure if they've done anything differently.

Open the browser and type in a URL.

Before the web page loads, close the browser and open your mail app.

Close the mail app and open the browser.

iOS - will continue loading where you left off.

Android - finished loading the page while you were checking your email.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darth_suicune:
Yes, it's something like that. One of the reasons i prefer android is because i do that A LOT. My connection is a big piece of crap so loading a webpage might take ages. If i'm going to wait all the time, i prefer doing something meanwhile :P

And with this kind of things, the multicore helps :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
It's exactly like that. iOS multitasking is done through the use of thread pausing, it won't continue to schedule a non mandatory thread while using a different application. Android will continue giving all running threads a certain amount of priority and processor tine based on that, hence why apps keep running in the background whilst they pause on IOS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skinien:
In iOS, an application can "register" to use a background service. For example:

-Open Pandora

-Start playing music

-Hit "home"

-Pandora requests to keep playing music in the background and the OS lets it.

There are only a handful of things apps can request to do in the background. Literally, I think there are only 5 or so. A few are:

- Location bases services.

- Voice over IP

- audio playback

Android has real multitasking. :)

I talked to Sprint on their live chat about this, and of course they don't know anything.

I am only having bad service in one zip code, my home zip code. I get a notification saying the text failed to send, when it didn't - the other person got the message. My 4G speed is UNDER 1mbit. How do I address this issue with Sprint so the issue is resolved? According to the idiot on the live chat thing, he said there aren't any network issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Bump... :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
They probably are doing some tower improvement or network improvement in your area and the person you spoke with just didn't know. Heck, when I called in about the OTA update, they told me 2.3.4 is the newest version available
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Haha wow...maybe visiting a store in the area would help? Does the store have to be in my zip code?

I don't even know if it's a service issue because the messages send, I just get a notification saying the message failed to send...it's really weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I know that I have had trouble for a whole day in SoCal before. I thought it was my setup so I Odin flashed back to stock, re-rooted, reflashed ROM only to find out it was a network issue. If you can go the day without it, I would see if its fixed tomorrow morning. If not, start totally fresh. If you Odin back to full stock and still have the problem, its pretty safe to say its the network
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
It's been almost constant for a while, but again..only one location. Not sure how that could be ROM based.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
The one location leads me to believe it wouldn't be ROM based. That's why I suggested waiting it out for the day. I know that can be tough though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
It's been a week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
It definitely sounds as though they're working in your area. Not that this will help get you better coverage but type in your zip on the map and perhaps see what they did or plan to do.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyline247:
Just a side thought. Call CS & explain the issue & they may send you an airave. Got mine last week as I was having horrible service at my home, but it was just fine at my neighbors. Needless to say, no more dropped calls or missed texts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup, if its been a week, call in and ask for an Airrave. They will really research if the network is having issues before they offer one to you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Not so sure. I don't see anything current going on. And would they really leave their service in a degraded state for weeks on end for network upgrades?

[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
DELL MINI5 尾插转接成 MicroUSB母口

Seems to be ¥58 RMB + ¥12/25 shipping, which is approx

$10.99 - 13.00 each.

Taobao is similar to amazon as a web store, it doesnt ship outside china though.

It's a 30 pin dock connector on one end and a mini usb port on the other end, so you can use any old mini usb cable on it. (like most phones) It's MINI usb and not MICRO as used on very new phones.

Seems to use the same connector head as the otg cable one, might be the same manufacturer of the heads.

Dell should have made official ones themselves, the stock cable is redicilious as it's essentially propriatary. This is most true for being on the road when you need to charge, you need both the cable and a charger with an actual port. Buying a charger with a 30 pin dock connector built in means that it's tied to the s5/7. With this you can use and old microUSB charger.

Quick facts:

The Streak does NOT use the PDMI connector standard. It merely uses the same head and SOME of the same pinouts. There are no devices out that use standardized PDMI. Dell internally refers to it as the '30 pin dock connector'

This should work on the s5 and s7 as they use the same dock connector, wont work on the s10 as it uses a different 40 pin connector.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Nice idea but to my mind six months too late, Streak leads are now widely available and cheap to buy. I don't see their being enough of a market for this new adaptor for it to sell.
[Streak 5 Accessories] TheManii:
There's enough of a market in china to make these, as that's where these are being sold. The streak is only half a year old or so in china.

It IS late everywhere else though, they could have made them much earlier and destined for export. There's plenty of other random accessories like cases that have done this, and normal dock cables.

Regardless i'd like one myself, my streak will still be usable for quite a while. It's not gonna magically stop working or anything any time soon.

Goodbye Galaxy Nexus

Well,

After 26 days of owning not one, but 3 Galaxy Nexus phones, I have returned mine as the problems I had with the call quality/signal strength and the phone constantly muting itself during calls, have made me not want it anymore. Yes it was a beautiful device, had great speed, an awesome screen, and a lot of other things, but it didn't live up to what a phone is meant to be, a PHONE!. I know that there are software updates coming out to all of the folks with this phone and I hope that you get your issues resolved by it, but I simply couldn't justify keeping it for what I paid. So now back to an old phone for me until something works out!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] peterjayrolle:
No I didnt perform a task29..before this rom I was running Android on it..then i did a hard reset which restored it back to Windows 6.5..Then I tried to run the magldr and the screen just got stuck after I ran the 1.13...I remember the screen asking me if I wanted to move from a version 3.14 to a 2.0 or something like that..Did that have anything to do with it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nemesis1278:
Well after installing windows and before going back to magldr you needed to perform a task 29 to delete windows from the phone. Windows may still be on the phone and you may be able to force it into boot loader if it is able to connect to activesync. It has been a while since I have done it that way so I don't recall how.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] peterjayrolle:
It can still go to activesync if the phone doesnt get past "Stick Together" ???

I doubt that it will but it doesn't hurt to try. And if activesync does connect then you should be able to reinstall windows rom if i remember right.
