[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Schooled :)

Though I would think that outside of supporting the proper bands it shouldn't matter right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinMArchibald:
Might matter for emergency dialing and maybe roaming
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
True. I've always carried my GSM phones all over the world never seemed to not work properly on the bands it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
I have also found out that KK1 is best with at least signal strength.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
I live in a poor signal area. I found that KK1 got me good service. After upgrading the phone is a brick in my house.

Somewhat related... Is there a cheat somewhere to turn on/off specific bands? We obviously don't need European bands in the US and vice versa. Just have to remember to change settings again when traveling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
UGKK7 works pretty well for me in sf bay area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
KK1 is working perfectly in Dallas... In two days I will tell you how well it works in Norway :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonmok:
I was using Galaxy Nexus, obtained the device from a official source.

But my baseband is XXKK1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leshake:
KK1 is the baseband that came with my phone day one, and as far as battery life and signal strength in NY, it's been really good. I might try another one after the 4.0.3 upgrade but doubt it would be any better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
kk6 has worked much better than kk1 for me reception and battery wise here in So Cal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stephan moisan:
Kk1 since i got the device back in november before anybody in canada and still works great .on telus network in BC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
I seem to get better signal with xxkk1 over xxkk6, NYC metro and outskirts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
Minneapolis/T-Mobile here, running UGKL1. XXKK1 was fine with regards to battery life, however XXKK6 left me with exactly no signal at home. UGKL1 has had the best cell/wifi reception and battery life for me. I just wish this would drop on T-mobile so we could get T-Mobile specific baseband.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:

Please show me the country code of my phone! :confused:

thx for answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sashusmom:
It would be in the letters of the baseband. Go to settings>about phone>read the baseband. Mine is I9250UGLH1. UG is North America
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electro`:

XX --> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom

Got it from an American company.

Imagine that.

Not that hard to but ya know, I can't get Samsung support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sashusmom:
Mine was an international note with an XX original baseband code. I changed the baseband to a north american one. Just get Get Ril from the play store to double check the compatibility of the rest of the rom. It works great!

It looks like a theme for MIUI, which is a Rom. You may want to search google with the name of your phone. You must be rooted as it is a Rom. Then I would ask to see if anyone can identify that theme.

Please thank me if I helped!
[Android General] ksatta:
Check out the following apps on the market (only check out description page, don't install top10 ones):

Boblox (developer top10)

Real Physics (developer top10)

Physics Box (developer Scott Pilgrim)

I think Pilgrim is the original, the other two repackaged from that and atleast airpush added.

I've notified Google weeks ago, by answering many questions first to find contact form and finally filling out a tiny form describing the situation. No answer yet and the apps are still on the market.

I know they're getting tons of reports, but surprising that no reply yet, and no action taken. The top10 dev even has the game with two different names and descriptions :D suspicious to say the least.

Not sure what's really going on with those apps, just my conclusion of the situation. They might contain other malware too, but probably their goal is just to make money with airpush. (Airpush is almost malware in my book :)

i tried installing CM7 alpha 3.5. first install went okay fully. went to reboot and boot up and after i clkick cyanogenmod in the dual boot loader, it will display cyanogen icon and load for about 8 - 10 seconds then restart. keeps going in that order. tried erase/wipe all, dalvik, cache, etc... i am not sure what hapopened. does anyone have any ideas for me?

thanks in advance!
[TouchPad General] Bear gri11z:
Bad zip?

Are you coming from a earlier version of cm7?

Or is it a first time flash for the touchpad?
[TouchPad General] joshtb86:
coming from alpha 3. not first time flashing. havent had problems before. tried redownloading the zip 2x
[TouchPad General] bensdeals:
i had the same issue with miui. took me a day to figure it out, as there are few posts on this. you must "wipe sd" in cm recovery before installing the rom. do a backup first. it doesnt touch the webos area.

-ben
[TouchPad General] joshtb86:
tried to do clockwork recovery. finished backing up boot, then went to back up system and restarted.

how do you wipe sd? do you mean partition it?
[TouchPad General] KJSOARES2:
A sort of solution

I upgraded from 3 to 3.5 as well and I got in to a bootloop as well do I downgrade then re-upgrade or what, any help would be great.

EDIT: After posting this I reinstalled 3.5 and it's working but i'm never going to turn off android again :) at least until ICS
[TouchPad General] joshtb86:
did you perform any other steps? you just installed 3.5? nothing special?

edit: i tried reinstalling 3.5. i tried redownloading it ot make sure it wasnt corrupt. nothing happened. it reboots during the installing system partition.
[TouchPad General] KJSOARES2:
I wiped the cache and dalvik other than that I did nothing special, then I just re-installed it and it's working so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
Hello folks, I'm having a lot of lag while browsing the web. Pinch to zoom is extremely laggy in some webs. For example, when I go to nytimes or theverge.com (desktop version) I can't almost do anything because of the lag. I'm quite curious why nobody has pointed this out. The browser experience was way smoother in my Galaxy S II. Are you experiencing the same issue?

Video: http://youtu.be/PZ4SuQe8fgQ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Sorry, what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Browser is buttery smooth on all sites I visit. The Verge reviewed the phone using their own site, sure they would have noticed lag... Bottom line is you're doing something wrong unfortunately. Do you have flash enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
You're telling me that you can browse theverge.com without lag? Because there are just 2 possibilitues: You didn't try that website or I have a defective unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reverepats:
Well I just tested theverge.com. mobile and full site and everything was pretty smooth.: did notice a bit of stutter but I think it due to the Flash on the site. Kinda like phonedog.com. u running fully Stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
I don't have flash installed on the phone. I will try to upload a video later because I'm beginning to worry about it as it seems I'm the only one experiencing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Do you have a slow internet connection? Sometimes the web page is still loading when this happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
No, that's not the case. I have a very decent speed. I am already uploading the video to youtube. Hope to hear your comments and suggestions :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Yea, the only time I get lag is if the page is still loading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Wait for or download 4.0.3 , it fixes the browser lag. Theverge.com is smooth now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
Here is the video:

http://youtu.be/PZ4SuQe8fgQ

What is going on? If this is normal, I don't understand the reviews...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
If you own the gsm version, download the 4.0.3 rom by bigxie, it fixes the browser lag.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drpancake:
Your trying to zoon while the website is still loading in the video
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Very obvious the page is still loading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
At the end of the video when the website is fully loaded is when I get the most lag (minute 00:54 till the end, the web is loaded). Anyway this doesn't happen on the Galaxy S2, that is why I am surprised. So it seems everyone is experiencing lag, but the reviews say it's the best browser ever on android. I can't comprehend that bull****.

P.S. If anyone has doubts and thinks the lag is because of the web that was loading. I can upload tomorrow a video to show them that there is the same lag. Let's try to be objective please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
That isn't really a fair site to test on. It is loaded with images, and other crap that will slow it down. It lags on my droid3 my bionic my thunderbolt and my rezound. The only thing it doesn't lag on is my iPhone which gives processing priority to touch user input. All web page processing/loading stops when you touch the screen.

Did you try to replicate the issue on a more average page?

It is true that my galaxy nexus is the slowest of all my phones but that's because it has old 2007 technology GPU in it but most other sites it handles just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Old tech. Gpu? Its only two years old. If you want to go by the 2007 date every gpu is 2 years old by the time it hits the street.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] franklin270h:
Didnt see the video but Ics uses a browser similar to honeycomb/iOS. Yes, iOS. In the sense that, for smoother scrolling, it loads in tiles. Where gingerbread and others did more software rendering on the whole thing so it loaded all the content more but scrolling was stuttery and such. Basically its a newer thing google is doing and there are still kinks. like honeycomb, heavy image content it will still kind of hiccup (ics is better than honeycomb in that regard) and you'll see blank white tiles if you scroll too fast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
Lol...uhhh no. The galaxy nexus has an older technology gpu if you compair to razr or rezound. While it doesn't mean much in normal situations as it is sufficiently powerful, dogging it out on the verge bloated website and moving all the images around you'll notice a bit more lag.... like it even matters because that fat site is slow on every device.

And whatever you mean by the "every gpu is 2 years old" is beyond me... because it is simply untrue. Please go do research...Im not going to hold your hand on it but ill give you a link to start. http://www.google.com

Btw, 2 years in smartphone market is ancient. Look at the specs today vs 2 years ago... and btw, 2007 was 4 years ago... not 2.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
Maybe you shouldn't expect desktop versions of media heavy sites to work flawlessly on your mobile.

Having said that, it works fine for me once the site (the verge desktop version) loads. I get a tiny little bit of stutter when pinch zooming but its barely noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faizalmzain:
i concur, 4.03 fixed browser laggy issue on nexus s.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
actually the gn and razor uses the same gpu.

anandtech has benchmarks and they are nearly identical in the GPU tests.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5198/motorola-droid-razr-review-a-better-clad-bionic/8

In the synthetics, we see first that Linpack behaves as expected and reflects a 20% boost in CPU clocks over the Bionic. It's in the GPU department that things get a bit interesting, and I again included Galaxy Nexus results that we have on hand from that forthcoming review. The two perform very closely because, from what I can tell, the Galaxy Nexus' OMAP4460 SGX 540 clock is set at 307 MHz (even though OMAP4460 can clock its 540 at up to 384 MHz), very close to the RAZR's OMAP4430 which sets its SGX 540 clock at a maximum of 304 MHz. We'll investigate this further soon in the Galaxy Nexus review as well, but for now know that the RAZR and Galaxy Nexus are pretty evenly matched in the benchmarks.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Yep, the older ICS nexus S ROMs had the same laggy browser as the GN 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 versions, but 4.0.3 fixed that in both the nexus s and galaxy nexus.

I still see some performance issues with certain sites (mobile google news site is now has an initial lag even after it loads completely then goes away), but its much better. I'm sure google will eventually get it perfect in the next couple of point releases.

4.0.3 also adds additional quick controls (bookmarks, new tab) which is cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
Yeah so its clocked slower and trying to render HD...

I misread the specs because the numbers looked different to me. My neighbors razr is beating my nexus in graphics benchmarks....

However the overall point is still sound. Which is that they used an older GPU, forced it to render HD resolution and he's trying to load a massively intensive desktop version of a website and wondering why its stuttering....

Weaker CPU+HD+large amounts of media=lag.,..

Even my rezound which blows away razr and nexus in the graphics portion of the benchmark test still stutters on the verge website.

Some of it is the nature of android, others is likely that he isn't updated, some of it is indeed the fact that they should have put a more powerful GPU in an HD resolution device. Even though the battery life is already as bad or worse than my wife's thunderbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
your overall point is not valid. Android 4.0.3 doesn't lag or stutter with theverge.com, so once people upgrade from 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, the lag issues will be mostly gone. It's a software issue, not because the gpu is weak.

The gpu is perfectly fine. Shadowgun and deadspace run great without any lag or stutter at 1280x720.

The reason why the rezound lags and stutters on theverge is because its still rendering the site using the CPU, not the GPU. Stock Gingerbread isn't hardware accelerated, nor are the htc sense gingerbread roms. The only gingerbread images that have gpu acceleration are the samsung galaxy S devices because samsung customized the browser themselves to support hw acceleration and tile based rendering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
I have updated and it still stutters on my nexus. Ive said this whole time it is the overbewring desktop site bogging down the phone which is otherwise sufficient for average websites. that was the point. The problem is in verg website. Its just worse on nexus than rezound. I have to try very hard to get a stutter out of my rezound with excessive scrolling and zooming on portions with the most pictures.

Yes it lags more than rezound even though there isn't hardware acceleration. The CPU makes the calculations but the gpu still is the one that places the images on the screen... the CPU does not tell the display directly what changes to make..... so if there are a lot of images the gpu can still get backed up handing off the changes of each pixel to the display. When the rezound does get hardware acceleration I expect it improve greatly as the gpu is very powerful.

Hardware acceleration means the gpu takes over all graphical processing along with communicating with the screen which relieves the CPU to do other things. It will help on most things but is not the end all be all to a fat pig site like the verge.....

On an average site the nexus becomes smoother than my rezound which is why my earlier post scoffed at the idea of using the verge as a valid gauge of nexus abilities because under normal conditions it performs beautifully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Really? AFAIK, there aren't any 4.0.3 LTE roms available yet. You must be running a secret one then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
I have both right here in front of me... all I do is test these things and set friends and clients up with customized rooted devices. I'd like to see where I said LTE device

Nice try on the gotcha....try not assuming next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gall0wz:
To be clear I'm getting the identical performance on the verge website out of both of these nexus phones.

On the bionic its terrible... the droid3 is a lot better for no apparent reason. My thunderbolt non-sense (heavily OC) almost no issues.

This all just backs up my original point that its mainly the site in desktop mode and while there are other hardware related factors that can make it worse or better the site is a dumb place to test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Just visited the verge desktop site. Let it load. Scrolling is super smooth up and and down. Pinch to zoom is smooth with very very minor lag. Double tap zoom is very quick. I'll try to record a video later from my girl's phone.

Not sure what your issue is. Maybe you don't have enough free ram to run the intensive site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
The page probably wasn't fully loaded, plus TheVerge is quite an image heavy site.

http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/5/2612285/android-graphics-rendering-hardware-acceleration-explained
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:
Anyone doing the tests and notice lag, try installing OSMonitor or SeePU and see if the processor spikes in the taskbar. I did a few quick tests and my SeePU monitor was in the yellow (>60%) just viewing (not moving) the page because, I think, of all the Flash apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
You shouldn't have flash on by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
I was only able to duplicate the OP experience by setting the developer option "Force GPU Rendering" with subtext "Use 2D hardware acceleration in applications". With that option disabled, it is silky smooth. Note the default is disabled so you have to manually turn it on. I'm not sure when this feature would actually allow for a performance gain and it could be looked into further. It's just not something I'm interested in doing right now.

Please share your observations around this setting. I'm curious if this is the only way to produce the results shown in the video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Here's a video I shot running android 4.0.3 and visiting theverge.com. Smooth as silk. I have force gpu on by the way. I don't think that matters as that is only for legacy apps. Browser will always be gpu accelerated. I've experienced the same lag running android 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. As you can see, 4.0.3 fixes the lag for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenyu73:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
That is silky smooth, are you running the stock rom/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Running this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399238

Again, the gpu is more than adequate at rendering heavy complex sites smoothly. Any performance issues are basically software issues and should be resolved with new updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
I have this same experience running stock 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
I don't get it. I've seen your video and the performance is impressive. I still can't figure out why another guy on 4.0.2 now says the web performs as goods as in 4.0.3 version; and then, there is another one with 4.0.3 that says it's as bad as in my video. Why is that possible? Doesn't the 4.0.3 version fix the lag? This a mistery...what the ****, man?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
those guys need to post a video or it didn't happen. :-)

one thing is some of the 4.0.3 roms in the dev forum still have the 4.0.2 browser so that may be why they are experiencing lag.

The 4.0.3 browser has the extra quick controls (new tab, bookmarks).

Later on I'll post another video with the youtube desktop site runnning on 4.0.3. Its not as silky smooth as theverge, but still pretty good.

Another thing is that 4.0.3 improves overall performance, not just the browser. In 4.0.1/4.0.2 I was disappointed that list scrolling was very slow with some apps like google reader, engadget app, etc. But in 4.0.3 that issue has been resolved.

People need to remember that android 4.0 is a complete overhaul of the rendering engine, so there are going to be bugs and google will be improving things in the future. Be happy that we have nexus devices and will be getting regular updates instead of something in 6 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sorry what?:
Perfect mate! Thanks a lot for your help.
