[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I'm running miui, at 500max on performance I see skyrocket class jittery performance. Maybe its miui vs stock based that's giving that difference. My phone spends most of its time at 500 when not charging or deep sleep, according to CPU spy. So the difference in battery should be minimal, but to me the difference in performance is very noticible. YMMV.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hehe, you're doing the exact opposite of me - I have things set to conservative with 500 MHz minimum when screen is on.

(Why? Because the diff. betwen 200 and 500 in terms of power consumption is far less than the baseline power consumption of the screen.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
500mhz starting giving me issues. Switched to 800mhz.

Had the phone heat up pretty hot one time. I'm guessing the cpu limit somehow didn't kick in. So instead of performance governor keeping the phone at 800mhz, I set the high cpu limit to 800mhz and the low cpu limit to 800mhz. Since that is now keeping it at the speed I want, the governor can be set to conservative, or whatever you want other than performance, and I don't have to worry about overheating or excessive battery drainage if something goes wrong again.

So far it's been working great. Haven't noticed a change in battery life.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forwox:
So, I have HTC Desire with rooted MIUI rom for a while.

HTC Desire, GSM, MIUI 2.1.6

It was okay until 5th January. I have about 25 installed apps and anything was fine. Few days ago I noticed strange "Force stop" in apps like Twitter, Foursquare, Internet Browser.

Then the same started to happen with random restarts of the phone. The phone simply started, then restarted and entered into bootscreen loop, so I ejected battery and inserted and so on. Clearing Dalvik Cache doesn't help. :(

Also when I try to enter Wi-Fi settings it freezes and gives out "Force close application?" That's just ridiculous!

I have lately updated from previous MIUI version 2.1.4 because that problem started there, but with no changes.

Can you please help here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vashishtuday:
i have always faced similar issues with MIUI , my phone doesnt like it :P

so i have simply stopped using it

edit: if you still want to use MIUI id suggest you stick with a stable version for a while rather than weekly updates
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forwox:
Well, it really might be like that. Seems like I fixed those issues by doing a full phone wipe and fresh flash. Which release can you suggest me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Wich releases did you try before ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
I have MIUI on mine and flash each update. The biggest issue I have is that it tries to update and always fails with an E:\SDCard error in recovery. I just download and then flash the full rom (no wipes) and it works a treat. The one issue I have with 2.16 is that SMS messages disappear below my 'Better Keyboard' where they didn't in the version prior. I've switched to Android keyboard now but have yet to see if the issue persists. That said, it is by far the most stable ROM I've ever used and I'm running 40+ apps on it with zero problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forwox:
The last previous version before 2.16, but I still got another problems with it.

As far as it is, it looks fine. No big problems at all. The only issue is that I backed up 5000+ messages back to phone, I like to store them there. :) Sometimes seems like it is a little hard for android to hold so many sms's.

[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
Between the EVO 3D and the Optimus 3D/LG Thrill, which has the better 3D quality?

I'm not talking about 3D camera quality, I'm talking purely about how the 3D looks on the screen. I've probably seen an equal amount of answers going for one or the other, so I figured I'd go and ask specifically. Yes, I realize asking here I'll probably get a biased answer, but I'm hoping that somebody here has used an EVO 3D for more than a few seconds and can comment.

Reason I ask is because I'm basically deciding between getting a $600+ Galaxy Note and a ~$200 EVO 3D (one with a bad ESN) or a $300-$400 Optimus 3D and some 7" tablet down the line. If the difference isn't that huge, then I'd probably rather go for the first option partially since Otterbox makes cases for the EVO 3D.
[LG Optimus 3D] Trekfan422991:
okay. so if you are playing games in 3d or watching movies in 3d then both devices are gonna look equally great. the difference is if you are viewing images or videos you have taken with either device. in this case the lg optimus 3d will look much better... why? because the cameras have a greater distance apart between them then the evo 3d. the closer it is to the distance our eyes are actually apart the better the effect and the easier on the eyes.

Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
So what you're saying is that the 3D effect is basically the same - as in, watching the same 3D movie on each phone, there wouldn't be much of a difference? Again, I'm not talking about 3D camera quality (I'll be getting a Fuji W3 for that, which I know far outclasses either device), I'm mainly concerned about the actual 3D screen quality/effect.
[LG Optimus 3D] veasna.kelly:
Viewing 3D video & photo on on both are most the same (using other media files). But if u r taking video or photo from both devices and viewing together, O3D will be much better as Camera hardware were installed differently.
[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
Alright, thanks for the info.

So another related question - other than the better 3D camera, better 3D apps (like the specific 3D Youtube app), and better specs, is there anything else the O3D has over the Evo 3D? And speaking of specs, is there anything other than high-end gaming that the O3D's better CPU/RAM will do noticeably better than the Evo 3D? Don't try and sell me that it'll be smoother, because my 800Mhz single-core G2 is pretty smooth.

I'm asking because may be considering another phone instead of the Note (the Nokia N9), and figure I should know before I jump on the Evo 3D based mostly on price.
[LG Optimus 3D] Deth Becomes You:
The O3D has a 2D-3D video/image/game converter. Evo3D does not to my knowledge. It is quite nice being able to take a video file that is not 3D and converting it on the fly. Instead of loading actual 3D video files, just use any ol' vid file. Even downloaded web vids. There is also the ability to take a game like Dead Space and play it in 3D. Or Angry Birds and many others. I am not knocking Evo in any way. LG has been engineering their 3D equipment longer than other manufacturers. They have just been in the game longer than htc (who has only one 3D device) and they don't use it on just mobile applications. IMHO LG wins based on its extra features which will come in handy later even if you don't plan on it until later. Hope I helped. ;-)
[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
Eh, I've seen enough 3D movies to decide that unless it's made in 3D (unlike some 2D movies nowadays that tack on 3D for a cash-in) then I'd rather not bother, and same goes for gaming (had nVidia 3D Vision for a few months and played enough games to see that it's basically hit-or-miss as to whether the 3D effect is worth the inevitable headache I'll get after using 3D for more than 2-3 hours consecutively).

I guess it'll mostly come down to price when I end up buying either a month or so from now - if the O3D isn't much more than $100 more (if even that) then I'll go and buy it, and get the Evo 3D otherwise.
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
I have 3D Vision on my PC and I know about the hit-or-miss thing with some games in 3D. However this doesn't occur with the O3D, every game (if it runs at all in 3D) will look very good with the 3D feature, you will just have to worry about lower framerates on some graphically intensive games. It also has settings to change the 3D effect to your liking. The 3D technology used in the O3D is completely different from Nvidia 3D Vision, as it doesn't use active shutter glasses that can cause headaches from extended use.

If you aren't so concerned about performance, then why consider the Galaxy Note? The O3D is pretty close to the Samsung Galaxy S II in terms of performance according to most benchmarks.

As for Evo 3D vs Optimus 3D, I have not used the Evo 3D but I know the Optimus has better 3D software (Game Converter, Youtube 3D App, Video/Photo Playback/Editing), combined with more powerful hardware.

If you want a case similar to the Otterbox for the O3D, there's the Ballistic SG. I use it and can attest to it's quality.

Another note, I have seen some (used) Optimus 3D go for less than $300 on eBay...the Thrill 4G is even cheaper (if you don't need the T-Mobile USA band)
[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
Hmm, that definitely makes me rethink it then, if it really is that good - although I can't say I'm that interested in mobile gaming (compared to watching videos in 3D, at least). I'm mostly interested in performance because one thing my G2 can't do well is play high-res videos.

And I'm interested in the Note for a few reasons, such as the stylus, high screen resolution and quality, and the actual size of it (I'd use a 7" tablet as a phone if I could).

The main reason I wouldn't want to use the O3D as my phone is because the main uses out of it - 3D videos and gaming on the side - would tax the battery a bit; that's why I'm also considering the Nokia N9 as my next phone (for the nice unibody construction, long battery life, smooth/sleek/simple OS, etc.), since then I wouldn't have two similarly sized Android devices with the primary differences being that one makes phone calls and the other does 3D.

Do they make any decent extended batteries for the O3D, particularly ones compatible with any cases? A nice one might make me just go for the O3D alone...

And I'm looking at the O3D over the Thrill particularly for the better official updates and dev community, and the fact that I simply can't buy a device without original packaging/accessories (kinda OCD about that) brings up the price to $350+ for me.
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
mugen 3400mah with case for o3d ranging from 65-95 usd depending on where you find it. makes your phone last at least 50% more. google it and you will see.Also some japanese 2430mah gold battery that some people say is fake but for my friend it has worked great giving him round 25% more juice and this one is slim standard size so no need for cases...
[LG Optimus 3D] magus57:
Managed to find it (it's 3200mAh apparently), but I can't find the case - unless you mean the battery door it comes with. I'm wondering if there's a case that fits with that extended battery door.

In any case, I'm really tempted to get one with that battery now - thanks for the info.

EDIT: Two more question, actually:

-Does the stock Gingerbread update include notification power toggles (as in, pulling down the notification bar and being able to toggle Wifi, 3G, etc.) or is that something in custom ROMs?

-Are there any major problems with the stock ROM? I don't want to deal with the instability of custom ROMs or losing 3D or Bluetooth or something
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
The phone has notification power toggles ever since first froyo version and yes they are here in gb as well. No major bugs in gb stock. Some people report wifi and network problems (ghostcalls etc) but given that they have been reportin it since froyo versions I guess it something else going on.I have never had any problems at all neither on froyo nor on gb. Phone is really smooth and works as it is supposed to. Battery drains within normal rates for dualcore phone with a 4.2inch screen and in anyway much more resilient than sgsII (which i used to have for 3 weeks or so...)

Most of the others are simply some script kiddies attempt at hacking. They have no idea whatsoever what they are doing and hence most of those roms and kernels are unstable/unusable and generally a pain in the ass.

I went from matr1x to eugene. Before I made the switch I had facebook notifications, google talk, and gps activated which are battery hogs. After I switched to eugene, I turned these off (and on when needed) and was able to get a full 8 hrs out of my phone starting today. I may have to try matr1x again to get a good comparison.

I will note that with matr1x my phone seemed sluggish towards the end of day and I had one random reboot. I haven't had any issues with eugene's, but that could be because I turned almost everything off.

You should try out multiple kernels and find one that works best for you.
