Wow, I doubt this guy has ever seen an Android phone. I wonder what thoese 4 top android phones he used that were so unbearable they made him throw them at a best buy Rep?

Android makes bigger phones because they sell, if you went with the isheep mentality saying nobody wants a 4+" screen phone, you wouldnt see them on the shelves. They wouldn't have huge banners advertising them in the windows of the stores that sell them. Gosh! Idiots!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I prefer 4.3, the epic touch is slightly too big, I find it hard to touch the far corner of the screen. If the photon wasn't so ugly (both hardware and software) I probably would have bought that. Thank God I didn't considering Moro started whoring phones on verizon, like five in the last year on one carrier, and the photon isn't expected to get ics until late summer as a result.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quick99si:
I feel the same way about screen size. The Photon has higher resolution than Epic and Epic Touch, but it's no AMOLED so there's that.

The iPhone 5 (?) is looking at a screen upsize as well.

A while back my gf bought the E4GT, then I bought one a month later. After rooting mine I rooted hers as well. She has had nothing but problems on hers and always blaming Android. For example, she had a problem with GMaps because her phone died while in navigation. Every time she opened the app it would force close. She was pissed and didn't know how to fix it lol. I cleared cache and it started working.

Right before I fixed her "force close" I told her she should of bought an iphone. That was probably the meanest thing I have ever said to anyone.

My first computer was an apple performa 6200, 75mhz proc lol. Then went to windows and never looked back. Ok, maybe once because I made a hackintosh. Still couldn't stand it. Windows is just a lot more easier for me, personal preference.

My girlfriend's friends, brother and sister all have iphones and don't understand the difference between Android and iphone. We tried to show them the flashing procedure with "true" customization and not the ios jailbreaking, but they just didnt understand it. They want free unpaid apps that comes with jailbreaking an iphone.

Side note, after playing around with my ipod touch, I cannot figure out how to change or download a replacement music player app for the damn thing. I cant even use it as an mp3 player because the app sucks compared to PowerAmp on Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lkctd8:
Back when I had a palm pre and earlier devices, I thought the iphone was great. All other things aside, the screen never bothered me bc I didn't know any different. But after having this phone, then used my wife's 4s before I returned it for her gs2, there was just no way for me to go back to that screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I don't know what has happened to Apple, it is as if they stopped development from the time Steve got really sick to the time he died. They haven't released something "new" in almost 2 years, not even a subtle form factor change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eltormo:
I read that one on Spanish 2 of my iphone loving friends,posted in on facebook to make fun of me,i lol so much,because the article claim that because of the retina display android phones use a large screen,but the retina display is a feature of the iphone 4,it wasn't present on the 3GS,3g or any other iphone before then iphone 4,the galaxy S was release before the iphone 4 was and has a 4 inch screen,so that basically kill the whole argument this fanboy used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
I love this comment.. I hope it actually went down exactly like he said "give my beloved I phone back" If I was the best buy rep, after getting "rocks" thrown in my face I'd have lost it. but then he was "happy like a baby" with his iPacifier.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D-Tronic:
I find this article to be idiotic. It's like the writer is trying his best to convince himself that 3.5" is better than anything larger.

Android phones come in all shapes and sizes, small screens (3.5" and even smaller) large screens, dual screens, sliders, slates, etc. They aren't disguising technical limitations as "choice" they are actually providing REAL choice.

Even if Android did render UI elements like Windows or OSX, the solution wouldn't be to increase display size in order to compensate for smaller UI elements, it would be to lower DPI. So, his statement is invalid.

Apple users will always claim a feature Android has that they don't as useless or idiotic, until of course the iPhone gets that feature.. Then it's a the greatest thing since sliced bread.

When the iPhone 5 comes out with 4G LTE, it will be amazing to all iPhone users, but as of right now it's "a waste of battery, and an immature technology."

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
I was considering an iPhone after being with Android from the very beginning. And the deal breaker was absolutely the screen size. I tried a few of my friends/family iphones and I couldn't go backwards to a smaller screen. I'm actually now jealous of the galaxy notes screen. Anyway the iPhone is good for some people because it fills a niche, the rest are just accessorizing with a phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
iPhone users, "I love my 3.5" because it's clearer than yours."

Android, "At least I can see mine."

Seriously, one finger takes up like a fourth of the screen on the iPhone. How can they even play draw something? It must be terrible trying to play that game with such a tiny screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I was playing a game on a friends iPhone yesterday and thinking the same thing, the screen size was pissing me off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
And this whole time I thought they made the screens bigger so media like movies and books were easier to read... I mean 4.5 inches may not be a tablet size but I think it's easier on the eyes than staring at a 3.5 inch screen for 90 minutes...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I forgot to say the biggest thing I noticed was how long it took an app to start up on the iPhone. It took a good three or four seconds of a black screen until the app showed up. My ET4g is almost instant when I start an app. The iPhone lagged horribly. I guess this is due to android caching apps in the background and iOS dosent.

Also the iPhone being in an otterbox made the screen look even smaller that it really was.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DenisGuy:
Hi

Since I'm a new user I can't post in the development forum, so imma ask here.

I have been following this thread for a long time:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293751

And I'm having a hard time finding a list of known issues for each ROM. I've been looking everywhere but still can't find if BT, HDMI output and 30fps video (just to name a few) are working with the ROMs that are listed in the thread.

I'm more interested in the Compiled CM7 for Infuse and MIUI for Infuse, but they only redirect to the CyanogenMod website and/or give half-answers.

Can anybody help?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
Nope none of it works on CM7 or MIUI.

Bt and Hdmi will work when the source codes for gb come out for our phone. Hopefully soon since the last leak came out like last month and was pretty solid.

Not all that sure with the fps issue.

Sent from my SGH-I997
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DenisGuy:
Thanks for clearing that one out for me.

Do you know if we'll be able to port CM9 to the Infuse once the source codes do leak? Or is this not compatible/irrelevant?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] demonspork:
Bluetooth isn't waiting on source code, cyanogen mod uses a different Bluetooth stack than Samsung roms, the only thing that will fix Bluetooth is to find a competent developer who had the time, skill, and motivation to get the call audio working over Bluetooth.

So far we have all three, but not all in one developer
[Samsung Infuse 4G] prive8pierce:
the current cm7 compile is otherwise working really well. as kies mini just hit for the infuse you gotta think the full release is right behind it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] demonspork:
Crossing our fingers for source code soon, HDMI and getting our video support back would be nice on custom kernels. Stock kernel is killing my inner child
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DenisGuy:
"the current cm7 compile is otherwise working really well" - so, no HDMI output and no Bluetooth? Otherwise, no problems? I might give it a shot then.

What about CM9? Anybody has a clue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Kinda shocked that nobody mentioned this.. but this should not have been asked in the development thread to begin with... thanks for choosing the right thread........

As for finding their issues.. just read the threads.. I'd recommend checking out the one with Zeus in the title.. my resources tell me it's a pretty good one... ;)

Hi, I've just received my new Iconia A100 16 gig version. On start up it only shows languages in Turkish, Greek, Polish, Arabic, Japanese and various versions of Chinese. Please see the 2 jpgs showing the screenshot. I cannot connect the tablet to my computer. It shows that it's trying to cnnect the drivers, but the shows an error in the communication between your phone and the computer was discovered. It tells me to disconnect and turn off the phone and restart it and after 2 minutes re-connect the usb cable. Can anyone help please. Thanks

Hi Aznmode. I have downloaded your file. Thank you very much. Do I just copy the files to my Micro sd card and turn on the power to the a100? As you can see I am a silver surfer and still learning my way. Many Thanks again. When I pushed the volume key and the the on key the android evetually ended up with the above icon in it, if that helps too,
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Correct just put the update.zip in the main directory of the micro sd card. Then this..

1. Turn off tablet

2. Hold the down volume button (closest to power button) first then press the POWER button.

3. Wait for the text in the corner of the screen to show up so you know it's going to recovery.

4. Release both buttons.

5. You will see the green android with moving gears and progress bar on the bottom.

6. Sit and wait......
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I hope aznmode's method has helped you. I'm interested if you could tell us where in the UK you bought it? If it was bought in the UK.

I bought mine from CEX, and was very happy with what I received, GEN 1 ROM and everything :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] longjonco:
Delivered today opens in Chinese

Hi Toy. Aznmode's method unfortunately didn't help :(. I downloaded everything and went through the procedure which did re-boot the tablet but only back to the turkish, Greek, polish and chinese languages screen, which was the factory setting for the tablet:mad:. what i did do instead was to accept the language of turkish and then translated via google each of the words pressing various prompts on the opening (home) page and eventually found the settings via the + key in the top right hand corner. This took me to the widgets; apps; wallpaper and more prompts. Trying each one until I got to more (the furthest prompt on the right) it was there that I found the select settings icon. From there I got the application setting icon and found that within that list there was a Language & input setting. That allowed me to select language which is the top one on the right hand column and it was plain sailing from there. The only problem I did have was that the keyboard and language was set to U S format only. But since the update, I have now got the facility to change the current input method to english. So hooray with a bit of burning the midnight oil, I, a silver surfer found a way to re-set the factory settings for the A100 Iconia 16gig tablet. My tablet came from Simply Electronics whom I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND to my worst enemy. I ordered it on 30th Dec. After complaints eventually to PayPal i received it 12th Jan. So many people have been on the internet saying that they haven't had their goods etc and I thought I'd lost my 300. But luckily it came through albeit in chinese. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Glad you got it worked out. That makes sense now since the update.zip only updates the software and not settings or installed apps. I bet a factory reset wouldve done the trick. If I'm not mistake you can either select your language or it will select it for you based on your location.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] longjonco:
Factory reset didn't work only went back to the original screens again. It did show on the screen that it was clearing the cache etc but didn't work for me.

How come you got yours from CEX, thought they only bought back from people?

Cheers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I bought mine from cex as they sell second hand goods (with a year warranty from themselves) I paid 210 for it, next day it turned up in almost mint condition.

Cex also sold me my Nexus S in near mint as well.

The best thing about them is you can trade everything in and use it against the price of something else.

I also have this issue. Once I rooted my Thunderbolt is when the issue started.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
What's the difference between / features of:

Interactive

Conservative

Ondemand

Smartass

Smartassv2

Performance (is it run at the maximum?)

Powersave (is it run at the minimum?)

And does performance for each vary per kernel? What I mean is will, say, Interactive be better than Conservative on Incredikernel AOSP but worse on Tiny GB Sense?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
ondemand

Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed. - SetCPU website

conservative

Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery. - SetCPU website

performance

Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking. - SetCPU website

powersave

Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times. - SetCPU website

userspace

A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor. - SetCPU website

Interactive

The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.

If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down to.

SMARTASS GOVERNOR

Based on the concept of the interactive governor. I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works - by taking over the idle loop - is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies. Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 245Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 245 - why?! - it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 998/245 kernel, it will sleep at 245. No need for sleep profiles any more!

The performance for each can varry by kernel due to the fact that some devs slightly tweak the governors to their liking. Without any tweaking they should be the same accross all kernels.

Also note that tinys kernel has an interactive X governor and also a smartass 2 governor. These are basicky just tweaked versions of the original governor.
