First of, WHERE'S MY SOURCE CODE DAMN YOU!

Oh nothing, just the fact that it takes you only 30 mins of playtime for you to suddenly recommend a device to somebody which in some circles would constitute a "talking out of is derrière" status. Everybody who knows what he's talking about will say there's a difference between holding a device for 30 seconds and having reallife usage experience. After all how could you know the difference between "feels good" and actually "is good", maybe LG is fooling you.

Yeah but you have no idea which one is lagging so.......... which one is it? And how do you determine the FPS of the S2 has dropped below 20 anyway? Did you count them?

Anyway, what did you think of my second video? All that hard work and not even one mention. :( The least you could've done is give a few time intervals at which you think the device is lagging.

Based on?

I really do not understand why you do not have these devices on hand... Anybody who is a fanatic and knows what he;s talking about has a few devices lying around. I mean I have these ATM and it's a slow month for me..

But then again... Linking to a piece of code doesn't require a phone does it?

In my line of work I'm between hotel rooms all the time. My only browsing devices on hand are a BB Playbook and a lumia 800 (soon to be taken to the 900) and I haven't powered on the playbook in over a week. I will, however, check out your second video tomorrow morning, I don't feel a phone can do such a video justice. I will also respond more fully to your inquiries. While I love my phone, it's not intended to write novels on.

I have used pretty much every os since palmOS until wp7. Overall best smoothness with most simillar/equal specs its wp7 and webos. Android still has some unsolved issues, ics is getting there pretty good but only on last generation dual cores unlike wp7 with only one core and so smooth. Im talking unmodded stock devices, no custom roms or cpu oc.

First time i had a LG Optimus 2x on my hands i was damn now we are talking, then S2 arrived even better performance and i decided to get a dual core fast. Atrix is not the best dual core but it gets there.

i agree that i havent noticed much difference between i4 and i4s so my guess its the same issue with android and wp7, not yet fully optimized for dual cores.
[General Topics] GIR:
Do I also get my code? Promise you'll link to the code or don't bother at all.

I don't know why people think dual core devices are faster or are supposed to be faster. The primary reason why dual core devices are used is because of the energy efficiency. Dual core devices can do the same amount of work spread over 2 cores at a lower clock frequency. Lower frequency means less heat dissipation. This can also be seen in the general equation of a transistor where the most energy loss around the 0 point. This means everytime a transistor has to switch it will lose lots of energy.

I honestly don't think touchwiz is open source is it?

White galaxy s2 free
[General Topics] GIR:
If it isn't, how do you know how it works? How can you even say with certainty that there is HWA and that is what sets touchwiz apart from vanilla and the rest?

And the reason why I asked is because I just wanted to see you fail at your comments. You have no way to backup your claims because you do not know. It's a well known fact that android has had HWA since 2.0. The only devices on the market which do not have it are the 1st gen devices like the G1, MyTouch 3G and HTC Magic and that's only because they lack hardware support.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.0-highlights.html

As stated by the Android devs:

You say it's GPU accelerated but vanilla launcher supports and does BitBLT. You say the reason why the S2 is lag free is because it implements HWA but that;s not the case at all, it's because it has massive 1GB of RAM that it's not laggy as most other/cheaper devices. The S2 overcomes an inherent design flaw within the Java way of thinking by brutally adding more memory. Now id you would've said that and discussed that with me, then I would've respected your comments but you have no idea what you're talking about because you have no idea what the problem is.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I know that android has hardware acceleration. It is not, however, present in the UI. It can't utilize the you because the framework would require that it be modified for a specific you. Because android is on such a variety of devices, they can't specify. This is precisely the reason that Microsoft is so picky about their hardware requirements.
[General Topics] GIR:
Bla bla bla, you just added absolutely nothing to the conversation. Android does have HWA.

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/XAZ4CeVP6DC

The reason why WP7 only supports select hardware platforms is the same reason why Honeycomb initially only ran on Tegra2. The code is just unrefined and doesn't have a good foundation which allows it to run on multiple platforms. Anybody claiming anything else is clearly delusional.

When you're saying Android doesn't have HW support you probably mean Android doesn't support multiple GL contexts, which is true but as you see in the S2 it's not really required. I also highly doubt that Samsung reprogrammed the whole OS to support this because it would make the TW Launcher incompatible with anything Android.

It's not the drawing of UI elements that's causing lag, as stated by the Android devs, it's an inherent design "flaw" (I'm not sure one can call it that) within Java.

But let's just reiterate before continueing to new questions. How come you know so much about Touchwiz when it's closed source?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Honestly, the hw accelerated UI bit was from xda members, I went on their word and the fact that it's much smoother than any other android UI.
[General Topics] GIR:
Link please.
[General Topics] jjrudey:
In my experience, Android lags more than iOS and WP7. But the lag is only a visual thing and doesn't slow down performance. But that's just me.
[General Topics] LocutusEstBorg:
When it's not frozen up, the iPhone 4 is much smoother than the SGS2. However when clicking on something that invokes an intensive task the iPhone 4 locks up like it's crashed for several seconds and it's VERY annoying. The SGS2 consistently runs at a noticably lower framerate than the iPhone 4 but it NEVER EVER get stuck for even a second anywhere.

Hello all.

I have a problem installing ICS Beta10 Nexus Android ...

The fact is that I am following the steps in this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402975

In the first post, everything goes perfect, or at least I think so. CLK installed, also the HSPL, etc..

At the time of installing the custom ROM from SDcard I have problems from step 16 onwards.

when I select the option to restart the CWM system, effectively restarts, but then stays on the start screen of the CLK (black background and white letters small)

After not go there, I thought I had done something wrong, so I repeated the whole process again, but reaches the same point.

This causes the Android operating system do not start from nowhere ...

questions:

I have to do some combination of keys to skip that screen and start the system?

I uninstalled the CLK?

I have to do? I'm worried ...

PS 1: I went all the data to format the SDCard to pass the zip Rom. -_____-

PS 2: I do not speak English, I translated it with google. I Speak Spanish...

[Huawei Ideos X6] nayneshdev:
Hi there everyone

I've got this spice mi 410 (INDIA). I am trying to use usb tethering on windows xp and on pclinuxos 2010. I connect the phone to the pc and then turn on usb tethering but no new driver installation pops up in windows so i cant select the tetherxp.inf as stated on (support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134.). And on linux the knetworkmanager doesnt detect any modem.

However i can tether using easy-tether. But would really like to use the built in usb tethering feature. I have also noticed that in device manager in windows there are listed three unknown devices Android HSUSB but i dont have the drivers. Can someone provide these drivers to me.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi kshitij_bhatt

Thanks for sending those files. The drivers were successfully installed but still usb tethering not working. Then I installed maclite v 1.3s and i could access that extra cd drive. And when i ticked usb tethering, it was working flawlessly out of the box with maclite rom, then i again switched back to MIUI 1.11.11 and find that it is not working. However tj_style mentioned that it is working. So what could be at issue over here.

Thanks for sending the files. You've been of great help
[Huawei Ideos X6] markdmello:
Thanks Bhatt for the files. Could you please advice where I should copy those files? On my PC or Mobile? And under which directory?

Thank you so much.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
I've got the Gingerbread bootloader, Passion ICS, and I'm (obviously) rooted... Everything on here that I've searched said I should be unlocked, but when I gave the Vibrant to my AT&T bound friend, it doesn't detect her network (or even that the sim card is in the phone, for that matter.

The phone works fine with T-Mobile, and her sim card works alright in my G2X, but could someone clarify what's going on here?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
If you call or email T-Mobile they should send you the unlock code.

There's other apps/hacks to unlock bit of a hassle but T-Mobile sent unlock for me quick. Bought phone used too, they don't seem to care much about T-Mobile account or not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
You see, my other AT&T friend had it while it was rooted with Trigger rom on it, and it worked fine for him. I'm thinking it's the bootloader that re-locked it, but I may not know what the hell I'm talking about.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gun:
Get "Galaxy s unlock" app by helroz from market. Works every time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
Still didn't work.

--Disregard. How do I check if it's unlocked? *#SIMLOCK# doesn't bring up anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Rooting, GB bootloader and ROMs, shoudl have no impact on whether or not you are unlocked, IIRC correctly. Use the Galaxy S Unlock from the market. Run it (correctly) and don't freak out about the black screen. It's only like that for less than a minute. Once it is done and rebooted, let your phone settle down.

Go into your dialer and punch in these *#7465625#

It will give 4 items. You want the top (Network Lock) to be OFF. If it is, then you are unlocked.

Don't rule out the fact that your friends ATT card might be bad or s/he might need a new one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
1. Yes, I have run said app correctly. The first time, I didn't have busybox, but I ran it again with it.

2. *#SIMLOCK# is the same as what you typed, it doesn't bring up the menu, though.

3. Her SIM isn't bad, if you read the OP, you'd know that it works in my G2X (what I didn't mention is that she has her own phone which it works in completely fine, as well.

Mostly, what I want to know now is why *#SIMLOCK# does nothing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Strange. There is a manual way to unlock it using ADB, but it is pretty intricate with high probability of errors.

I would suggest just calling T-Mo and getting them to give you the unlock code, especially if the apps didn't work for you.

Let me know if you want me to give you the link to the manual way to unlock. Will take me some time to find b/c it isn't in the Vibrant forums at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
I didn't say it didn't work. I don't have another company's sim to test it with, and *#7465625# doesn't bring up the menu, so I can't check it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I must have missed that Disregard. Odd that the code won't bring up the menu, though. Do you still need to know if you are rooted though? If the Galaxy S Unlock worked (or even the fact that you could run it at all) then you are rooted. Did you grant it SU permission? If so, there is your answer.

Do you need anything else on this other than someone else's non-TMo sim card?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gun:
Go to network operators in settings. If AT&T is detected you should be unlocked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
Very strange. It shows that on the phone, but still doesn't get signal with her Sim card in. I'll research some more, and if any of you have theories, feel free to post them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
I didn't mean rooted xD sorry, I meant unlocked. It was 3AM and I still hadn't slept.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I have an idea. Maybe you need to set another set of APNs for ATT. Just a shot but Google ATTs apns and the go into settings>mobile network blah blah APN. Hit menu and add new, the put in what you Googled and don't forget to hit save. Back out and tick the ATT one and see if that works.

Worth a shot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
Thanks, I'll give that a try when I visit my friend again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishyOfYou:
Thanks guys, it works now :)

[HTC Rezound] neffer:
So here's the issue. I have about 2500 songs on my 32 GB SD card in a single folder. Some of the songs have symbols and numbers in front of their titles such as #, 0-9, -/_ and (). They show up first in my songs list.

However, it gets stuck at # when I try to scroll through the list of songs using the slider, which means I have to manually flick through the list until I find the song I want. I can't scroll down the list of songs at all because of this.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

Broken: i.imgur.com/JMSLE.jpg

Normal (in Music Mod): i.imgur.com/dw2lC.jpg

Any help with this issue? Does it happen to other people as well, or is there something wrong with my SD card/way my songs are formatted? The HTC app has always had issues (on my Incredible, it used to only show 100 of the 2500 songs) but this is ridiculous.

Additionally, since it seems like it could be such a simple fix, would anyone be willing to push out a patched HTC Music app for the Rezound that fixes this issue? I'd be very appreciative, since HTC's app looks nicer (at least to me) than music mod and I like having my Beats as well :)
[HTC Rezound] kappen:
I would get a mp3 tag editor and use it to rename the song filenames to a standard format.
[HTC Rezound] neffer:

Could we get any devs to look into this? I'm also willing to help out with a patch but I'm not really too familiar with android apps yet.
[HTC Rezound] j0hnnyn:
same happens to me but only while trying to use the side scroll bar with my album list.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
I have a bunch of multi-national songs..some with chinese characters and I don't have this problem at all. I generally don't use the stock player but when I do, I can scroll without issue. Maybe one or more songs is jacking up the index(bad characters). I would try to editing a few ID3 tags and see if it helps. Just for grins see if you have the same issue with poweramp or google music.
[HTC Rezound] neffer:
Believe it or not, Google Music can't see my library. It's the only player that doesn't work for whatever reason. I use bTunes, Music Mod, Doubletwist, but have yet to try out Poweramp or Winamp. I think Google Music has that issue because I noticed that there are TWO sd card mount points on the phone - one for internal storage and one for external.

EDIT: It seems that the Google Music issue was fixed in the latest update, no issues otherwise. I tried Poweramp but it seems to be triplicating every song I have in the list.
[HTC Rezound] H3Dude:
Mine does this as well, but only in the songs list, not any other and I have about 1600 songs.
