[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chrispitude:
Here are my own experiences with Android and Bluetooth audio.

Some video material itself has an inherent lip-sync issue that will show up no matter what you play it back with, so you have to rule that out. However, there is also a known lip-sync delay bug with the Android Netflix client and Bluetooth audio devices. I have tried the following Android devices:

Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android 4.4.2)

Nexus 7 2013 (rev2) (Android 5.0.2)

Hisense Sero 7 Pro (Android 4.2.1)

with the following Bluetooth audio devices:

Monoprice 11947 On-The-Ear Headphones

Monoprice 10585 Premium On-The-Ear Headphones

Creative D80 Portable Speaker

There is a significant lip-sync delay (anywhere from 1/4s to 1/2s) with the Android Netflix client with all combinations of these that I have tried. With these same Android devices and Bluetooth audio devices, the following apps play back perfectly with no lip-sync issues:

Amazon Video

Hulu

TiVo Roamio Streaming

YouTube

Native Android video player

Other Android apps (games, etc.)

The only combination with a lip-sync delay is the Android Netflix client with a Bluetooth audio device. Wired headphones are fine. I also tried the iPhone Netflix app with the Bluetooth audio devices and that plays back fine, so this is a problem only with their Android client.

Bluetooth itself has a 3ms latency; the delay is not a Bluetooth problem. In games with sound effects, they happen immediately through Bluetooth audio.

I called into the Netflix customer service department so many times. Every time, the same script - clear the app cache, restart the Android device, charge the battery in the Bluetooth device, power-cycle the router and cablemodem, unpair and repair the devices, etc. Some customer service reps told me it was normal Bluetooth behavior (it is not - the latency is 3ms), most told me it was the Bluetooth interfering with the Wifi connection (wat?). I repeatedly explained my testing results (long) and how it entirely points to a software issue. After many calls, I begged the rep to contact the next-level support to report this as a bug, and finally got confirmation that their Android client "has some issues" with Bluetooth audio, but no mention of a fix.

So there you have it. Call into Netflix customer support, repeatedly! Maybe we can get them to fix the problem.
[Desire General] topgeardave:
Since HTC have revealed the HTC One V for Q2 of this year. Do you reckon some devs will be able to port the RUU over to the HTC Desire?

If you don't know what it is; it can be found here: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...bile-phones/hands-on-htc-one-v-review-1066217

It states it has a single core 1Ghz CPU and sense 4.0 on top of ICS. Do you think this could be run smoothly on our two year old Desire's once HWA is fully fixed?
[Desire General] erklat:
a) even if it has 1GHz single core cpu, it for sure is not one from 2008

b) Sense 3.5 doesn't work smoothly, so mine (possibly broken) logic says that it probably won't.

c) I for one couldn't care less if it gets ported or not. I know that software version is one part of the coin, where no number of updates will change the fact what Desire fundamentally is - a two year old with archaic architecture.
[Desire General] stankyou:
I doubt it'll get fixed.
[Desire General] thesavagedonkey:
As above, even though its a 1ghz processor, the desires technology is now outdated. Its possible we may get some sense 4.0 with ICS but who knows.

Will just have to wait and see what we get :D
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
If hwa is delt with I'm sure we might get sense 4.0 but won't let my hopes go up just yet. Although One V has a newer cpu/gpu so do Sensation/Evo3D/Amaze which run sense 3.0/5 (custom) much like I run it on my desire. There's not that much multitasking in comparison but it's running stable and very, very fast. Comparable to the best sense 1/2.0 roms out here. And it seems that sense 4.0 is lighter on ram since V has just 512mb compared with desires 576. My 2c.

[Desire General] erklat:
Blasphemy '-.- :eek:
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
Try it, then reply. :p

Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion anyway. ;)

-. typewrited .-
[Desire General] island3r:
Well, there's "smooth" and and there's "sense 3.5 smooth". I've tried most 3.0+ roms but I don't think that people here truly understand what smooth is. I was one of those people. Then I tried oxygen (Mildwild's version to be precise) and it utterly ruined sense for me. I just can't go back.

Although I do miss sense from time to time :p
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
Wasn't talking about aosp, miui or cm7. Imho, sense will never be as fast. But that's not the topic of this thread anyway. ;)

-. typewrited .-
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I thought AceS 3D port of Sense 3.0 was smooth - but then I went to ICS 0.3.x beta's and was amazed how quick and responsive it was even as a beta.

I do like Sense a lot- especially the camera and people apps but it's days are numbered where ICS is concerned... still wouldn't want to go to stock Gingerbread to be honest but it's probably heaps smoother still :)
[Desire General] smbo:
AceS smooth?

It was very, very slow and huge in ram.

I wasn't able to open tweet deck when playing music!
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
If aosp roms I've only tried mildwild and my current sense rom is at least as fast, if not faster... Not bragging or something. It's an objective opinion. I was really disappointed, since everyone here seems to think otherwise.
[Desire General] olyloh6696:
One V uses a S2 CPU. The Desire has a S1.

Although, interestingly, the V has slightly less RAM than the Desire.

If ROMs get ported, I don't think there will be RAM issues, but there will be a lot of lag issues etc.
[Desire General] bortak:
I tried reading this topic, but after I got to erklat's post I was hit by an epiphany: None of this matters to me, Sense sucks.
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Why exactly? Sense is the best thing that happened to android.
[Desire General] bortak:
FTFY

ICS is the best thing that happened to android
[Desire General] w1000i:
Htc said that Sense 4 is lighter than 3.5 + we have One V with 512 Ram so i think it's possible to port and to work smoothly.

"From the original Sense up to Sense 3.5 we added too many things. The original concept was that it had to be simple and it had to be easy to use and we had that philosophy, but over time it got cluttered," Kodera said.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44715/htc-sense-got-too-complicated
[Desire General] olyloh6696:
True, but what about internal memory?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Could not agree more. :)
[Desire General] Zombie Dude:
I'm all up for this an am infact waiting for this to be ported over to the desire. This new Sense sounds like it'll be less on an issue to run on our devices than Sense 3 and 3.5. Plus I'm looking forward to Android 4 on a Sense phone.

Hopefully this starts happening soon!
[Desire General] Hoochie_Coochie:
We still have to wait for a stable ICS rom.

Haven't been able to go back to Sense though since using AOSP roms
[Desire General] olyloh6696:
You could always use an RUU from the Desire S / HD for ICS + Sense 3.6
[Desire General] Latty:
Even if full HWA is optimized, you have to be aware that our first generation snapdragon GPU (Adreno 200) is significantly slower than the Adreno 205 the One V is supposed to have.
[Desire General] AceNik:
Hello

Hey guys as far as what i see in the roms section,

ICS from CM9 has FULL HWA working in one of the roms,

i think sense on the other hand needs more optimization for desire

i think its possible for dev to port the software, but yes the smoothness will depend on a number of aspects

1.internal memory adjustments like CM7r2 or A2SDX etc

2.reducing the size of graphics with a lot of tweaks to the full blown resources of the new roms

jus a few tweaks like they needed to do for making sense 3.0 work on our phone, but what i think is since our dev support is slowly declining we need to buck up to take the torch from them & keep the progress goin at the same rate

mostly people are directly shifting to new phones these days, including devs, for instance sensation now has all of our old devs on it, the lords who created magic here

now we have a humble few, who do a great job for nothing much in return, we must believe in them, try to help them out places

with combined research & testing i feel we can achieve a lot
[Desire General] palito1980:
What about porting those ROMs to Desire.

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_announces_three_new_desire_phones_for_the_chinese_market-news-4096.php
[Desire General] ba3:
Yeah desire v H/W config is most similar to desire

Except the Internal memory

pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3459&view=1&c=htc_desire_v_t328w_htc_wind
[Desire General] gomcho:
In fact, the specifications of those phones don't seem to be far from our desire... It includes famous GPU Qualcomm Adreno 200 !!

I guess that the devs working on porting ICS and Sense 3.6/4.0 could reuse things when it gets released.
[Desire General] th3:
The same ports ran between a Desire and a Desire S were a world of difference, just because of the ROM/RAM/storage differences. I own both of these phones. The HTC One V port runs melted butter smooth on the HTC Desire S no matter what you do (it does have some functionality not working as of yet). So did 2.0-3.5 ROMs.

Having tried near enough every ROM (and its tweaks) since March 2010 with my loved Desire, there's isn't a single ROM that comes close to the basic smoothness and lack of RAM/ROM/storage space related problems you will find on something like it's elder brother. I haven't comes across a lag/space problem-free ROM on this Desire. Before I kept the Desire S and tested it side-by-side, I couldn't see and never knew this amount of fluidity and smoothness was possible on Android running these ROMs.

With the Desire, there's many basic ROMs where you can run smooth and fluid, jitter and lag free, but only with a few apps and services installed and running. And certainly not a newer Sense ROM. There just always seems to be a pesky space-related problem waiting with ported ROMs to this Desire.

It is in a zip format. When I insert my SD card into my TF101 it recognizes that it has a system file on the card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If it's the stock ROM, you actually have to unzip it after download to get to another zip file inside.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Some versions of cwm don't have the staging partition mounted. Go into mounts and see if there is an option to mount staging (might as well mount system while you are at it).

If there is no option to mount staging, use adb and type

mkdir /staging (it might already exist?)

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging

The last chars above are zero pee four- don't mess it up!

Then re-flash the rom.

If you don't have adb in recovery, then either repackage the rom or get a recovery that has it, although I'm not sure which ones will- I think roach's 3.2.0.1 will work, but you have to mount the partitions through the menu.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls3mach:
It has the option to mount

/system

/cache

I mounted all of them and tried to flash a stock rom, which has been extracted from the original zip to the (what I believe to be) update zip. Is there a way to update my CWM to one that doesn't have this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls3mach:
I am pretty sure I have done that. It is recognizing that their is a system file when the card is inserted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
You could try the Team Rouge recovery but I don't know if it will help or not
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You can mount via adb or extract the ramdisk from cwm and add staging partition to the etc/recovery.fstab :)

I'm not sure which versions of cwm have staging. As I said, I think roach's 3.2.0.1 has it. I'm actually using a modded version of his, but I won't post it because it will probably cause more bootloops and headaches.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You could also flash a rom that doesn't use the staging partition.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls3mach:
I tried to flash the new ICS rom, but it wouldn't load for me either. Are you sure this is a staging issue? Also, why can't I flash the stock ROMs? After I get a new one loaded is this going to be a continuing issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls3mach:
I have the SDK installed and updated. How do I make those ADB commands work? I am in PROMPT and the correct folder. Sorry, I don't use this program often and haven't since I installed the mod originally and I have had my TF101 since they were new.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
The stock roms usually use the staging partition, the custom roms are hit or miss, so this could potentially be a recurring issue.

rom the command line prompt, type:

adb devices - if all is well, you'll see you tf's serial number

adb shell

su

mkdir /staging - you'll get an error if it already exists, which is fine

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging

exit

Then mount system in cwm and flash your rom.

Good luck

Well, that worked to flash, but now I get the Android goon when I try to get into recovery. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
It sounds like it worked- if you were flashing the 86521 stock rom, it has a stock recovery on it.

You should receive the ICS update now. There is an ICS root exploit in the dev section by rhcp012345, if you want to root.

Hey, are you guys getting the additional 50GB when you sign into Box for Android? My limit still states 50GB, which I received as a WebOS user. Has any one else received the advertised extra storage space for signing into Android? Perhaps they have a stipulation that excludes us :/

I prefer SugarSync anyway, but 100GB + 100MB file size limit = portable, persistent library for text books and novels.
[TouchPad General] Aganar:
I've got a feeling that the webOS and Android promotions are probably the same function within their system (i.e. "Sign in from this link -> Set account size to 50 GB), so they're not likely to stack.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
No, you only get 50gb. It doesn't stack. Dont know why you would even bother with wanting 100gb. Its not like you would EVER fill it up. Go try to upload an album of mp3's. Good luck. Box.net is garbage.
[TouchPad General] wavemeister:
Whats to stop you creating another account for Android using a different email address?
[TouchPad General] thekillingtree:
i was a little excited to have a new dropbox alternative since i'm usually working with large videos and other files. well, i got 50gb free for using an LG device and had a client who wanted to send me a 3gb file so i told them to use box.net.

turns out they could only upload 25mb from a desktop client or something. it was a total pain and i ended up uninstalling it after that.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
Yea, I was VERY excited for my box.net account. I read the restrictions and everything and still was pretty excited. Think my hard drive with all of my music is probably within a year of failing due to heat, so I figured I would back up all of my music online using the box.net account just in case. HOLY ****. Its impossible. The reason they give out 50gb accounts is that it really doesn't matter what the size is, no one has the patience to fill up more than a gigabyte. They could offer 30TB accounts and they wouldn't need more than a couple 2 TB drives in their server covering all of the accounts.
[TouchPad General] thekillingtree:
i've heard it works better on mobile devices but then it seems silly to have 50gb of storage when most devices don't hold quite that much. ridiculous. not sure what their market really is.

LG has have officially announced Optimus Vu in the Mobile World Congress.

Main Features:

Screen:4x3 aspect ratio, 1024x768 , 5-inch IPS LCD display,

Camera: 8MP camera

Processor: 1.5GHz dual core CPU

Operation system: Android 2.3 (upgradable to 4.0)

Width: slim 8.5mm thick frame

battery: 2080mAh

Release date: currently scheduled for March on Korean

In my opinion this is this device will be the best competitor to the Samsung Galaxy note. All of them have common features.

For more information about this product and latest technology news. Visit the source: whatsuptechnology99.blogspot.com
[LG Optimus 2x] tragster:
i dont think Vu can compete with galaxy note at all, unless they make it really really cheap!

i mean, why would some one buy Vu? Vu has smaller screen but larger form factors, to me it just doesnt make much sense.
[LG Optimus 2x] sind500:
Lg will win only if the price is considerably smaller than samsung, because in my opinion samsung is the best in smartphones
[LG Optimus 2x] tragster:
but LG always price super high at launch, so i dont think Vu will be selling at all until like 6 months when price is halved
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Our phone at launch was the cheapest dualcore on the market...LG always puts competitive prices

However Vu is really ugly :P my father has the Note, another planet. The battery lasts 14~16h with HEAVY usage (I'm not joking)
[LG Optimus 2x] kemmo123:
meh... where is the quad core beast! we want the x3!
[LG Optimus 2x] iulian89:
Not true. It was the first dual core on the market so you cannot compare it.

I've seen that the android top phones are not more than 600euro usually because then they would go close to the iphone.

However, this VU is ugly and LG has a bad reputation now.

If I can say my opinion I think it has no chance to compete with anything right now.

They are releasing a lot of new smartphones but they should think that every single guy who had the optimus dual will speak bad about LG and will convince friends, parents etc to wait a few months before spending money on lg and buy it at half price later.

What do you think?
