These speeds will have no effect on if you decided to download something.. just in the app..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
I know that but people all over complain about there speeds being slower than other members. I just proved that may not be the case after all and to effectively double check their dl speeds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frogskins:
All you proved is that one of the servers used to test against is congested while the other one isn't. It has no effect of real download speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orion2001:
That is to be expected I guess.

I did find another really strange issue today. When I run speedtest on the phone, I was getting around 8Mbps (1 bar of 4G), but when I enabled WiFi tether on my phone, connected my laptop to the GN's WiFi, and ran speedtest locally on my laptop, the recorded speed was 12-13Mbps :confused:

I was totally not expecting that as I would have thought it would be lower. I repeated this multiple times and made sure that both when running speedtest.net on the phone or on my laptop, the same server was selected. Seems like the speedtest.net app on the GN might be bogging it down and making it record lower speeds than what it is actually capable of?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Congestion huh or maybe just a slow server since I have a month and a half of the exact same speeds at all times of the day. Unfortunately you have no idea as to what your talking about. Not all servers are the same!!!

Is this a joke? It's true not all servers are the same but the most likely underlying cause is congestion.

You want to test your download speeds, download a Linux ISO and see how long it takes, then divide the size of the ISO by the time it took. :)

I'm very out of touch with PC and laptop/netbook benchmarks.

A friend is asking me if I want to buy his HP Mini netbook for $150, its running Ubuntu with a 1.6ghz dual core processor, also 2GB RAM

I'm currently running a desktop running Pentium 4 from almost 10 years ago, its a custom built alienware, 2GB RAM. Still runs great

Is it worth giving the P4 to my dad and getting the netbook?

I only internet surf, watch videos, network, etc.

I don't mean to hijack this thread. But I have an Acer Aspire One with the Intel Atom N550, which is a dual core atom at 1.6 GHz. It has 2GB of ram. I put Ubuntu 11.10 on it and it runs like a beast. I use it only for my school work. Typing papers, power point lectures, school email, and the occasional internet browsing. Should I keep Ubuntu or put Windows XP on it. I know XP is a little out dated, but it would run like a beast on this setup. What would you guys do? Should I keep Ubuntu for what I need it for, or should I use XP for the stated above?
[Off-topic] I Am Marino:
Either one would work I would think, since Ubuntu is lightweight as it is, its probably a better long term choice, but either is probably great.

I have an Asus 1215B (AMD Dual-Core Processor E350 with AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6310). I was looking for an Intel Atom Netbook then I found this and let me say that it really rocks. It feels snappier against every atom netbook I've tested it against. I also didn't have any problem to make various linux distro run on this, it is based on Amd Fusion platform which is rapidly growing amongst linux communities so I suggest this netbook :)

I usually develop software for android using this netbook while on the go and I haven't had any problem with it. looking forward to replace the hd with an ssd one, done that it will be perfect for my needs ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No such thing as the best rom/kernel for battery/performance or anything else. Because you have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use it differently to everyone else and it came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's phones. Try some roms/kernels out & see which work best for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
I'm running WickedROM.

Well if you're new to android, and you're pretty clear of it, I guess you just use your phone like an average user (Facebook, whatsapp, gaming, etc.), so I don't think you require such a customizable ROM to the kernels and the nitty gritty of the linux platform.

Maybe you should go for CriskeloROM, SensatioN ROM or CheckROM.

If you want to rid the Samsung bloatware and Samsung TouchWiz UI, then go for MIUI, but the camera on it isn't as good as the Samsung one, as I had it for 4 months.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bosotros:
I had almost the entire top row of keys on my keyboard dock stop working and I have a hunch that it was the free Logitech virtual keyboard (beta) that caused it.

I was using the Logitech keyboard, which is very nice btw, and then connected the dock. I got the message to switch to the ASUS keyboard to make sure all the buttons worked properly. I didn't switch right away but later I noticed the function keys along the top, from WiFi to Settings had stopped working, also the Mute key is dead. Switching to the ASUS or Android virtual keyboard didn't help nor did several cold resets , re-docking, changing the language, or anything else I've tried.

I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144204 which explains a way to remap the keys on the dock and I figured I could try that to fix the problem. I'm waiting to see if ICS comes out in the next week or so before I root. There's a possibility that the firmware change would fix the problem.

I'm assuming the Logitech rewrote the files with the key mapping and didn't replace them when it was uninstalled. I don't know what happened but the timing is too much of a coincidence. I felt it was worth mentioning since it may be a bug in the Logitech, and may affect other users.

If anyone has any suggestions how to fix this without rooting I'd appreciate it, also if anyone wants to test it to see if it is the Logitech causing this and if it does it to any transformer.

My TF101 tablet and dock are both B50, bought in June and still stock.

The Logitech keyboard is sweet. I hope if it's the culprit that they fix the bug. I'll drop them a line since the keyboard is a beta release.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araym1:
i have a odd issue.

Last night the MIUI 1.10.7 ROM froze up with trinity kernal. After the reboot trinity kernal on boot screen kept freezing.

I did a full whipe re-installed MIUI 1.10.7 flashed nertchy and i was good to go.. once booted up as apps where getting restored from the market random crashed started and now everything force closes.

that is not the issue.. the issue is that i want to do a full whipe again.. how ever i can not do anything with sdcard. i have tried every possible format method and coping files to sdcard...

all it ends up is restoring the files and the file that i have copied to sdcard is gone wth :S

i can boot the system back to what it was even when i re-flash it over again still same system there trying to download files and crashing..

i have reached the end i dont know what it possible could have changed :S

help?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycruickshank:
You could try and lock the bootloader and unlock it again. That might reset everything and get it working for you again. I had a problem with the SD card and I wasn't able to mount it in CWM to access any files so I locked and then unlocked the bootloader and everything has been working great again
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araym1:
no go.

earlier i tried pushing some files to sdcard using adb successfully. this only lasted until the phone was rebooted out of recovery and files where back to w/e they where before.

i pushed an filed called update.zip tried flashing.. as if i never tried.

what it seems to me like is that the whole system is preventing updates/changes to the system :S :S

no matter what i try to do to reinstall or format it goes back into its old form with exact same files and exact same problems..

basically unable to flash and delete :S:S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean1984:
have you went to storage in setting menu and hit erase then erase everything?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araym1:
yes,

i have tried all of the following:

- factory reset from settings

- unmounted sdcard and formatting from settings

- delete files using file explorer (deleted them but comes back on reboot)

- uninstalling application (error occurs)

- moving application to sdcard from internal storage (not enough space error occurs)

- doing factory reset using cwm

- doing individual deletes using cwm

- creating backup using cwm (error occurs, cant get chm5)

- locking/unlocking bootloader

- mounting sdcard to pc and deleting files (same thing files delete until reboot then restore)

- adb remount (remounts nothing happens)

- adb push file, i can push a file and its only there until phone reboots

- installing pushed file update.zip (miui 2.1.x) installs but still goes back to corrupted miui 1.10.7..

i don't remember what else i have tried. every time file deletes it comes back after reboot. as well as the system.

i can flash a new recovery mod and it will stick but nothing in terms of deleting files or installing new system files.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] araym1:

(fix permissions does not fix this problem)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmem:
as the Nexus s has no actual physical SD card but it purely refers to the storage partition, I am guessing you have some how corrupted the partitions settings and possibly damaged the memory as well, i have also seen from other threads where this issue is nearly identical that the PCB board being changed fixed the problem.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
So I recently tried upgrade to the Gnex, the price didn't match in store to what was online with the upgrade. Which was fine, I just ordered online instead. But in the process of upgrading the store rep activated a new SIM card which deactivated the old one. So the rep proceeded to give me a new one and in the process asked for my phone. Now the rep is holding my phone and is about to turn it on when I think "Oh ****, I should've went back to stock before coming here." Yes. That's right. I made the rookie mistake. Now the Verizon rep continued to boot the phone ensure that the new SIM was active. As usual I assume it began to give voodoo, script manager, and voltage control superuser permissions and displayed such messages on the home screen. Now the rep didn't say anything to me about the phone being rooted, didn't immediately type anything in on the computer, so I just said "Thanks. Have a good day." and got the hell out.

How likely is it that I'm screwed and she typed it in after I left?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterGunz:
You are safe.

If you get a notice or whatever happens when they discover you've rooted your device, you walk back in with your phone stock. You say she must have been mistaken. They have no proof. They sure as hell won't want to lose you as a customer over something like this in case they are wrong. There is no proof. It was never brought to your attention at the time, so she never verified or confirmed with you that your phone was rooted.

I wouldn't worry.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Good point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The only times I know of that you'll have an issue:

1. You're having an issue with your phone that aren't related to the SIM being deactivated. (XYZ app isn't working as an example)

2. You're sending your phone in for warranty replacement.

Otherwise, most people probably don't care that you've done anything to the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
what Imnuts said... also the reps in the few stores by where I live probably don't even know what root is, the few times I've brought in a rooted/rommed phone they either don't know what's going on or think its cool or are fascinated by it, no issues... had an employee friend check my account recently and nothings there lol

My guess will be after the mobile world Congress. They are suppose to show off ics with sense. It gives them an excuse to fix more bugs or problems, and show off new phones and such.

[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
The Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus will be outdated by the time its gets rolled out

AND

a majority of the people will have access to LTE.

I love the phone, but my upgrade is not until the Fall, and by then the Galaxy Nexus will be about nine months old. I don't see my self upgrading to a phone that has been out that long. At that point, the next generation of phones will be rolling out for sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
This can't be farther from the truth. the SGS3 is NOT a Nexus device so it wont run AOSP like the Nexus get and wont be getting its updates straight from google like Nexus devices do.

the SGS3 will get its update like the SGS2 and others do and always be AFTER the Nexus line gets theirs and be up to Samsung and the carrier to do so.

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
You can currently ROAM on Verizon b/c both Sprint and Verizon use the 1900MHz freq for voice/data right now, hence the hardware in the phone supports it.

LTE being deployed by Verizon is on a completely different freq than where Sprint is deploying it so in order to Roam LTE wise the chip inside would have to be built to handle both freq, which is something we have yet to see so far really...
