Here's another video demonstrating the youtube desktop site on android 4.0.3.

Still nice and smooth, but not as smooth as theverge.

Issue

It seems that on some websites when trying to pan the screen it will hitch when the start of the swipe is over a link or there are tons of links on the page. Seems like they are doing tons of hit tests to try to see if you are over a link. That looks like they could do some optimizing there. And yeah 4.0.3 seems way faster! And they now give priority to the UI thread(looks like someone at google knows how to properly use threads! now only if most of the android developers would understand that)

Actually, I want a Class 4 card, due to the high performance of Random write. It's a LOT faster than class 10 cards.

not sure really
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] srqrob:
I believe these are current classes and speeds:

Class Speed

Class 2 2 MB/s

Class 4 4 MB/s

Class 6 6 MB/s

Class 10 10 MB/s

Class 10 is over twice as fast as class 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
That's not all there is to it. Sustained write speeds are different from random write speeds. Its good to have a balance of the 2. Not all brands of cards are created equal. Some class 10 cards do not perform as well as say a sandisk class 4.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Anyone? Can I search from the phone xda app. I want to find out the best way to use the sd card. It says 16gb but only has 14. I' d really like to safely put or move my backups and rooms and mods to it and set it as default for 1080p video recording.

I downloaded this app, and changed my sdcard from 148 to 2048 (its a class 10 16gb, it made pictures load faster and some other stuff) But how do you measure your SD card's read/write speed?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MHatter469:
I am concerned I unplugged the phone after charging overnight and took it with me this morning, not using it at all. Left it in the car while I went in to Church. When I got back to the car in picked up the phone to check messages it was at about 20% battery after 2+ hours off the charger.

I went to the battery use screen and it showed Google+ as 37% of the batter consumption, then the rest of system apps under 10%...

Screen 9%

Phone Idle 9%

Android OS 8%

Cell Standby 7%

Android System 4%

Phone 2%

sd card 2%

media 2%

I looked at the running apps, and no apps were running.

Any thoughts? I don't want to have to uninstall Google+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Which settings do you have on? Vibrate, Instant Upload?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MHatter469:
Vibrate off, Instant Upload on.

I believe I found the issue. And it seemed to be syncing with G+, for whatever reason it downloaded all my photos in G+/Picasa.

Today, I have been on the device over 13.5 hours and still have 35% remaining.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Yep, Instant Upload does more harm then good at the moment. Most likely G+ was updated all of your albums that day.

What did you do? Just turn off Instant upload?
[LG Optimus 2x] niko_droid:
Hello all.

I'd just like to mention this is my very first experience with an android phone, so please help me out here.

I've decided to try and mod my WIND's LG Optimus 2X (P999), looked around these forums, and not really sure where to go. I have seen threads on Optimus 2X P990 (I didn't even know there was a P990 version), I've seen ones on T-Mobile G2X and so on, but I have no idea if rooting those would be the same for my device.

If you could please direct me to the right threads and/or tools I'd greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: It just came to my attention that everyone's phone here seems to be the P990, yet mine clearly states P999 when i remove the battery cover. Yet it's still called the Optimus 2X. Now I'm more confused.
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

The LG P999 is the G2x and this is very similar to the LG P990 – it is the version for the American market while the SU660 is the Korean version and P990 for the rest of the world.

The main difference is AFAIK in the preinstalled ROM and therefore you need to look for a rooting method for G2x…

You could try SuperOneClick first - since this is the easiest way and wouldn’t hurt – if it fails look for a root method for P999(aka G2x).

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/superoneclick-updated-to-2-2-now-features-zergrush-exploit/
[LG Optimus 2x] xIceCream:
Hi and welcome.

To see if your phone is p990 or p999,

go to Settings > About phone.

Then see its model number. That is what your phone is.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
WIND Optimus 2X is a T-Mobile G2X with an LG branded ROM, hardware wise, they are indentical and use the same rooting method.
[LG Optimus 2x] niko_droid:
Thank you very much guys! The SuperOneClick method took a few tries but worked in the end. Here's another question. My device is still running Froyo thanks to WIND refusing to roll out any updates. Which version should i now install? I recall ICS is the newest one, but is that the best one to install? Links to threads/tools will be much appreciated.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You can install any T-Mobile G2X ROM, the stock based ones are either 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, CM7/MIUI is 2.3.7

Nothing ICS is fully working yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] niko_droid:
okay, ICS is out of the question then. do you recommend i go for gingerbread or honeycomb?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Honeycomb is also out of the question, it's Gingerbread or nothing.
[LG Optimus 2x] niko_droid:
Ok guys... ran into a problem. Did everything in this wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Full_Update_Guide

Installed clockworkmod, downloaded cyanogen7, started the zip from recovery, everything went ok. But now I am stuck at the lg screen. Can't do anything from there... Please help me out of you're familiar with this problem.

EDIT: Entering recovery just boots me back to the lg screen. Currently searching for solutions.

EDIT: In this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644

I can't get the lg logo on step 11 to show up. So far no luck. I think It's because I made the mistake of flashing the Optimus 2X one, instead of the G2X. I guess from now on I am treating my phone strictly as the G2X...

EDIT: (Additional details): I have done everything here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 I have the drivers, the one click flasher, etc. I get stuck on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery section, step 7. I am simply unable to get any files to copy to my device. As soon as I "press any button to continue", I hear teh usb sound on my computer and my phone just disconnects (driver no longer visible in device manager).

EDIT: I had to plug it into the usb port at the back of my comp, instead of the two front ones..... What the hell, I don't even..... I finally flashed and got it to work. Thanks to every one who did their best to help me!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LondonGentleman:
Hey there, I was wondering if anyone has run into problems replacing a phone with Rogers/Samsung with their counter set to 1 or more.

I had asked the same question in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399182

but it was buried with some others so it wasn't really addressed.

I have a static crackle issue with my S2 i727R that was here before I rooted but didn't show up again until after I had rooted. My counter's at one and currently it seems there's no way to reset as I have Android 2.3.5 so I'd like to return it but I'm not sure if they will charge me or not.

So if anyone has done something similar and gotten away with it it would be good to know!

Thanks!

Rooted LTE running Android Rev. HD 2.1.1 and I still have this as well. Looks like it's not using HW rendering even though I have it forced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cornelious1212:
Thanks for the info
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
Its because they didn't enable HW Rendering in the app itself. Even though you have forced it, doesn't mean the app will allow it. Stupid really, they should know ICS is HW Rendering supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Noticing similar choppiness in a number of 3rd party apps which is a shame. The core GApps give a hint of what is to come one HW Acceleration is enabled by default in the majority of apps.

I'm guessing Google forced the rendering on

read down to Oct 27 news update.

This should kinda serve as a general warning to those who want to unlock their bootloader, though it is not fully confirmed as of yet

Please check production date of your model before any attempt
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amnher:
oh thats so scary. My phone is E16i and has a date of 11W34.

I was able to unlock and relock bootloader for so many times... does it mean that my phone will not get a bad luck on that?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
whats resurruction cable method?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To spare everyone the trouble, here's the text of the post in question:

seems most of lately produced msm7227-based phones have chipset with FIXED security hole, which used to altbypass unlock.

(that is not 100% confirmed, we only have few reports, however better be warned)

such phones will DIE after successful unlock procedure.

such dead phones CAN NOT be recovered. ( perhaps, jtag can fix that, perhaps, qualcomm fixed jtag security hole too )

there is NO WAY to determine if phone has fixed chipset or chipset with security hole.

the ONLY safe way is to use unlock by resurrection cables.

if phone can be connected and booted by resurrection cables, phone is safe to unlock.

if phone can not be booted by resurrection cables, phone has fixed chipset and could not be unlocked.

you have been warned.

get and use resurrection cables.

update:

e16 phone with manufacture date 11w38 affected, i think we should care about phones which produced after 11w26

Seems to be a special designed interface to access the UART recovery mode on a hard bricked device (very low-level stuff, comes right after JTAG'ing). See this YouTube link.

If anyone of you ever followed the awesome Samsung unbrick posts by Adam Outler you should have an idea what UART access means and therefore should have a clue about what the "recovery cable" device is able to do.

The only thing that doesn't add up ... the recovery cable video doesn't show any interface for the W8/E16.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
so does it mean newer phones cant unlock bootloader? so my w8 i bought from last week got brick during unlocking bootloader might be a victim of this new security hole? o ya...why must SE do this? to prevent us from bootloading?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vientito:
Simply put, SE has a lot of stakes to protect.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That's the point in case. If the phone is within the specified date of manufacturing you can successfully unlock the bootloader, but after you did the stunt and reboot the device it's basically hard bricked beyond "do it yourself at home" repair possibilities.

The best shot you then have left is to find a repair shop having a RIFF Box (JTAG) or the aforementioned Resurrection Cable (UART Recover) to breathe new life into the device.

However, it's at least good to know that this pithole is there (though I find it fascinating that they kept on fixing up the hardware flaws - or hardware based security holes - in the chipset). EDIT: Might also explain why some people experience weird problems with custom ROMs the majority isn't able to reproduce.

Mine with 11w33,, not bricked..., and always change with many custom kernel....

can explain me with it...?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
@wilbso:

U mad, bro?

Well, as we can only speculate on the Engrish post TheLaser made on the site from where the info comes from ...

W8/E16 phones within the range of 11W26 through 11W37 seem to be problematic. I interpret this as "there's some hardware fix though it can be worked around in software". If this now refers to flashtool or the replacement bootloader binary is up for anyone's guess.

11W38 and onwards seems to be a candidate for a sure kill after unlocking the bootloader. I interpret this as "the new bootloader binary that gets installed doesn't manage to start up because various 'security holes' have been fixed in the hardware therefore rendering the code defunct". That would at least explain why such hard bricks show no sign of life anymore at all (no LED, no screen, no nothing).

If you find a better theory or a better detailed description written in non-Engrish type ahead ...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donny_mey:
i realy sure about that but in 11w38 maybe killed with this act....

but i'm not sure for this,,,, or this a promotion tools from SE tool, and we must buy if we want to unlock that...

it's right...???

:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is not a promotion from SE or any other company. The fact behind this is...

...that if you have a hard bricked W8 you need the "resurrection cable" thingy to _maybe_ restore the firmware on the phone (as there's no intel on how the "resurrection" is possible on the aforementioned models it's yet another guessing based on what has been written all over the place (read: "oberservation"), therefore the "maybe").

...that the safest way to attempt a bootloader unlock on said phones is to do it through the "resurrection cable" as only there you can tell IF it will work or not.

The only "promotion" in all of it is the heads-up on that piece of hardware a do-it-yourself-at-home technician (or privateer wanting to specialize in unbricking dead phones) may need - and that's all.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
Sorry.... :) is 10w47 in the specific date? Cuz I managed to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel. In about to flash another soon just need your oponion

sent from my x8 running gingerdx
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
10W## through 11W25 should be considered safe

(where 10W## means "from start of production all through 2010")

11W26 through 11W37 could turn out to be problematic

(though I'm not sure what Laser means by that exactly)

11W38 and newer are supposed to hard brick

("no sign of life" .. no LED, no vibrate, no screen, no flash-mode connection)

Note that this seems to apply to the W8 E16 AND X8 E15 as well ... in one of tohno's threads we have a hard bricked X8 (11W43) mentioned.

I'm still trying to make head and tails out of the random info, but I think it's safe to say that one should better have a look at the manufacturing code before trying to unlock the bootload to avoid a bad awakening.

Edit: On a second thought ... while we're still lacking in-depth details I think someone should prod one of the mods to post a sticky tagged as "[WARNING] Read BEFORE attempting bootloader unlock".

[General Questions and Answers] tadaska:
Hi everyone,

My phone was bricked (didn't know what I was doing when trying to unlock it with TP). I revived it with the SE Update Service. I also unlocked it while it was bricked. It's now working but the SIM card not being detected. I also flashed it after it was revived but no luck - SIM still not detected.

Could you guys give me some ideas how to fix this?

One strange thing I noticed: in the service menu it says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No] and I think I read somewhere that means it's already unlocked. But in the FlashTool it says [VER="R9A021"] and I read somewhere that R means bootloader is locked. Or am I wrong and it just means it's locked and can't be unlocked? Could that be the problem? Or does that have nothing to do with it?

Please help! Did as much search on this as I can but things are just too confusing for me...

BTW SIM works OK in a different phone and I doubt it's the pins as the phone is brand new and they look OK visually.

Thank you!
