[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
On Gingerbread and ICS, the default setting is to close apps once ram begins to drop below 45Mb. Hence, opening say, Angry Birds and the browser would bring ram below 45Mb and one of those apps, the one that is in the background, will be closed.

On Froyo, there's so much free ram to begin with, so you can run multiple apps without any of them closing.

On iOS, the apps are so well optimised for the phone that they require much less ram to run. At the same time, the 'launcher' on iOS is just a mere app drawer which uses little ram. Overall, the iphones have lots of free ram and hence can keep these apps in the background.

Believe me, I'm completely anti-apple, but those people who claim that apple's multitasking is lousy don't realise that android's multitasking is not too great either. The only mobile operating systems with PC-like multitasking are Symbian and Maemo.

Apart from the different version of operating systems and RAM, is there actually much [significant] difference between these two phones?? Or have I missed something obvious?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishmaster89:
New generation SoC with much higher performance(Cortex A15 class CPU at 28nm), better screen(high quality IPS display), better camera(hardware and software wise) and I would even risk to say that it has better overall build quality.

Maybe not much, but as a whole this is what sensation XE should have been from the start.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
Ah yes, I looked a bit further into the different processor types after my first post.

I have an upgrade due and am weighing up my options.

The One S, in my opinion, seems to look better and of a better build quality than the One X. The ideal device for me would be the size, look and build of the S, with the extra performance hardware, screen res. of the X.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackeron:
I'm concerned about batterylife. They put in better specs but no talk about batterylife.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjustmeagain:
From my own point of view THE advantages of the Sensation over the One-Series are

- changeable battery > can use higher capacity batteries

- presence of a sdcard > eats microsdxc 64GB

Therefore I'll stick to my beloved XE and would definitely NOT buy one of the three new Ones.
[HTC ChaCha] raylgo:
I read that trying to S-Off the phone will erase everything but is also necessary for rooting and custom ROMs. My girlfriend will only agree to do this is there is a guarantee that all the data can be backed up. Now I'm not sure if there is an app for that on non-rooted phones since I use Titanium Backup on my Optimus One...

1. Is there an app that can be used reliably to backup non-rooted phone data (contacts + all user app data)?

2. If/When the phone is rooted, what are the things that can be uninstalled without a hitch?

I tried it messing with mass uninstalls on my phone and screwed it up. My solution then was to flash a rom that had the bloatware out already. I'm not sure if there is a stable rom that does that... My girlfriend loves the sense UI so I don't think she will give that up :confused:
[HTC ChaCha] Nicraz:
I just rooted my HTC Status and before doing it I used MyBackup https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&hl=en

After rooting (I followed the S-ON guide), it restored all my apps and contacts, as well as my pictures with no problems.

Not sure of the "safe to remove" apps/files but I think there is a list somewhere around here.
[HTC ChaCha] raylgo:
Alright I'll try it tomorrow :D Now I'll just have to get Link2sd to work on it. Wish there is a nice stripped down stock rom with sense still in it for the chacha...
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Contacts are stored on Google so not on phone, pictures will remain on your sd card.

All you'll lose is things like settings and personalisation really.

When I flash a new osr sure it's a pain to really do that stuff but once you're rooted it's a lot easier!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
Writing this thread to compile my discoveries about 480p and 720p.

Using asop roms, there's only 480p available... with default camera it kind of lags sometimes...with occasional audio sync issues.... but when i use lgcamera and mono recording with no aac encoding (very bad sound), there's audio issues... framerate can be bad at times though.

using sense roms, 720p never works well.... lags all the time, choppy and audio completely out of sync... 480p also mostly does not work well on default camera...

on lgcamera wth some low aac settings at 480p, you can get decent recordings but if you record for too long, you can have audio sync issues...

with aac disabled, at 480p, recording is decent with no audio sync issues but audio is horrible...

i am using a class 10 kingston sd card.

Can you guys share your experience? i would be satisfied to find the perfect setup for good 480p with good audio .(i know 720p is impossible on htc desire)... thx in advance for your contributions!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
i just downloaded sd card tester.. my writing speed is 2.6mb/s and reading speed 9.92mb/s!! it's supposed to be a class 10 card!!! i think i got ripped off??

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InMyBedNow:
SD Card Speed Increase!

A CLASS 10 with only 2.6mb/s write and 9.92 read?!?!?! The read is average but the write is very low.

If you have root access, run this app and you'll notice a huge improvement in SD write and read speeds.

Here is an article on Android Police that shows proof of speed increases: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-200-with-a-simple-tweak-hands-on-benchmarks/

Here is the app I'm talking about:

https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zZGluY3JlYXNlLml0Il0.

The performance difference is absolutely stunning.

After, run SD Tools https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImFsZXMudmVsdXNjZWsuc2R0b29scyJd to check if the speed difference.

You should try to switch the sliders between different values. Each SD card is different and one value may work for somebody but not you. I'm using 4096kb on my Lexar class 10 16GB and I get read speeds of 31mb/s and write speed of 9.2mb/s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AraboDroid:
I would have just posted this in the AOKP thread but I can't unfortunately.

I was wondering if there is any way to access the task manager without having a home button (or any on-screen buttons). The reason I ask is that I was uninstalling some apps through the market today when I looked away for a second, and when I looked back the task manager was open and I have no idea how it happened.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] trell959:
With the on screen buttons yes, but I believe that its just a bug. My task manager likes to open up randomly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I wonder if that's related to the screen-turnon bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] flightsimmer:
I did notice this with the on screen buttons on the pacifier ROM. If you leave the screen on with the home screen up and no power source connected, the ICS task manager will appear at the same interval that the screen would power on at. Since switching to the Spike Pure ICS build, the task manager doesn't appear as often but the screen still powers on at the same intervals as before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
Anybody try freezing the task manager with Titanium Backup to see if the screen powers on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsolares:
I have v1MAR2012 R1 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522844 my screen doesn't auto turn on, it's at 98% battery after almost 2hrs with little usage.

The only thing i've noticed is that GPS is a bit slower than with ICS'd Out V9, i really wish we could fix the home button and enable the other two so i could disable the soft buttons that take up space.

If there is sound difference then your good to go.. but for just making sure that everyrhing is working open the zip files and one of the folders inside the system folder then on your phone have root explorer or any file manager that can go or open root, then open your system folder then compare the files on the folder zip and your phone if it has the same and flashed sucess or else just copy/paste everything on the system folder on your zip and paste it on your system folder on your phone...

[HTC Amaze 4G] bjcolema:
This is not a complaint, but just as info. I copied these files, like some did, directly to the system folder because I did not have recovery. It was my mistake, but I did not back up before, so it soft bricked the device, to where I could only access it thru ADB and took a lot of time an effort to get a recovery and flash a new ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hyperkamote:
I never did try RockoDev's MOD since I already did flash trough CWM Beats MOD by fuss132..

Sadly fuss132 MOD and his post have been deleted by the admins due to (Correct me If I am Wrong) copying/modding RockoDev's Beats MOD and i think without giving him kudos or credit for his MOD..
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Running energy Rom. File flashed but didn't do anything. Finally got around to pasteing all the system files over and am about to reboot. The answer I haven't seen yet is this - does this mod merely have effect on music through the default music player through headphones or does it enhance audio all around? Don't use headphones all that often so I'm not sure how much good this mod will do me unless the audio on the external speaker is also enhanced...

Beyond the reboot no audio worked at all. All I did was copy each file over to the corresponding folder in /system. I'm guessing permissions weren't set properly or something. Either way, unless there's a great improvement in the general speaker all around (for all audio), this seems like more work than what its worth to me sadly. Unless someone develops a file thatd flash onto energy Rom successfully.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
In layman's terms then - I'm running energy Rom. The file flashes but does absolutely nothing (confirmed by conducting a file comparison between zip and what's in my system folder after flashing). I'm reluctant to go through the trouble of setting permissions for each individual file if this mod only enhances headphone audio quality. Does this mod enhance speaker audio quality?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Beats audio (in layman's terms as far as phones go) is a sexy bass booster. I have it on my 3.5 ROM, and I still use Poweramp app and DSP manager. That's the best way to get a variety of different qualities of music on our phone

Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] derride8:
Which version to use ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Thanks, but that didn't really answer my question (is the beats audio enhancement active for the phone speaker, or just for when headphones are plugged in?). I'm well aware of what beats IS.

However, finally got my hands on a OneS today and was able to answer my own question. When attempting to activate the (native) beats enhancement, the phone itself says "sound enhancer is not available for speaker out". Just in case anyone was wondering the same thing I previously was.

Although I NEVER use headphones with my Amaze, I just realized that I do occasionally use a pair of speakers with it so I might actually mess with it and go through the arduous process of setting permissions for each and every file.

As far as permissions go, what has everyone experienced? I read through the main thread but "normal permissions" is all I saw anywhere. I presume normal looks like this? (Far easier to just do a screenshot than to write it out lol)

Any confirmation in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks =)
