[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
That's what I'm saying. Android has been optimized for dual since 2.3.5. I've played with both tablets the galaxy tab 2 is faster and zippier in web browsing and the system UI. Most apps may not be optimized for multicore but what app needs a 1.5 GHz CPU? With a 1.0 dual core the CPU won't get bogged down as easy thus allowing more apps to run at a time and run more efficiently without slowing down the tabs ui.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Nice theory, but fundamentally wrong.

Using your assumption if the OS worked that way , you would be better off when you run exactly two concurrent apps. If you look at any given instance on a Android device , you will see 10 to 20 services or apps running depending on your mix of widgets and other things happening.

Android tries to keep memory about 80% full, even if nothing is happening. But when one app or set of services hogs a big chuck of it, then the other apps have to start being swapped and things lag.

Android is really very good at task switching and prioritizing so the real factor in bogs and hitches is usually how much fast memory (RAM) is available and how much the apps and services are using. If you have a memory hog (like HTC sense for instance) when things get busy, parts of it are going to be swapped out and it takes time to reload when they are needed later.

Although you insist on believing that more cores equals more speed, it simply does not translate to reality on a simple devices like a phone or tablet. IN some situations, its going to help a little. In most it's not. The tablet with the faster clock speed , better GPU and MORE RAM free, will almost always perform better. HTC has issues with software being that Sense is an old code base and eats tons of memory, so what you see with your eyes is correct, the Sammy looks smoother. But your interpretation of why is incorrect.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
ahem...

My HTC Vivid runs Sense, ICS, has a gig of ram, and a dual core. And its worlds faster than my flyer.. but its 300mhz slower. How do you explain that?

Either way search for Android version history on google. Android 2.3.4-2.3.7, Honeycomb, and ICS have dual-core optimization.

Either way I think one of the flyer's bigger issues, is the honeycomb "update" was a weak quick port of the Jetstream's rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Just played with the new Samsung tab. Nice tab at a great price. On the surface without doing any heavy lifting it felt faster than my flyer. Not saying it is better because it is lacking in some departments. If given the choice of either today I would buy the Samsung if only for the promise of a more active development section
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yeah I'm not going to replace my flyer with one but if I was still in the market for one I'd grab it no doubt
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] raffir:
How do the screens compare?

I'm trying to decide between picking up a used Flyer around 200 or a Tab 2. It'll mainly be used for reading academic papers. It would be nice to have something zippy, though, and the Tab 2 sounds zippier (would love to hear otherwise).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Honestly the screens are dead even. The tab 2 has more modern hardware and ics but the flyer has better build materials, better cameras, more storage, and pen support. If you absolutely have to have the pen the Flyer is for you but the galaxy tab 2 has one thing that really owns the flyer: a pulse. The Flyer is dead and stuck on a poorly written laggy honeycomb rom. Also Samsungs naturally have unlocked bootloaders and they also are very supportive of xda and just announced they released the source code to the tab 2 today. I'm a former Samsung owner and from what I've seen of the captivate and flyer I'll probably go back to Sammy when I'm done.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
If you look at the latest benchmarks for the Samsung S III , you will see there are two versions, a quad core and a duo core. For many benchmarks the duo core is actually faster than the quad. I rest my case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I'll be fair in saying the flyer should be capable of more speed. Honeycomb is just laggy on it and it wouldn't be but it is. The web browser is my biggest annoyance especially when your entering text and its taking a couple seconds for the text to show up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sharjil333:
Yesterday I picked up a flyer for $150. Do you think the flyer is better for the price, or is the Samsung worth the extra $100?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Better for the price
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
yeah better for the money.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sharjil333:
Thanks for the replies. Hopefully the Flyer works out well.

We should have a descent build of icecream soon anyways Samsung support is sucks we galaxy 10.1 owners are pulling our hair out waiting for Samsung for the update
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
No better with htc or any other manufacturer. Hell even the nexus phones take forever on updates.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Text input is much faster with Opera. One of the many reasons Opera continues to be my browser of choice on the Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I had used opera before on my phones and didn't like it because it was either desktop or dumbphone mobile site however since i don't care to look at anything in mobile on the tab its alot better. Thanks for the suggestion!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
I started using Opera a few weeks ago on my Flyer. I always preferred Dolphin all the time on everything. But I now prefer Opera on my tab, by far.

This script can be run on:

2.2.X, 2.3.x, 4.0.x

This script was tested on Froyo [CROM] and Gingerbread [Stock, MIUI, CM7]

Prerequisites:

- I9003 xD

- Busybox

- Root

- CMW or equivalent

- Terminal or ADB

How to use:

- Unzip the zip :D

- Copy the file [.sh] into the phone

- Open the terminal

- Login as root

- Give execute permissions to the script

- Launch the script as "sh fix_battery.sh"

- Reboot in recovery

- Wipe battery stats

- Reboot and wait 5 minutes before using

F.A.Q

- Recommend making a backup of data to avoid losing files

-

I disclaim all liability for damages or problems caused from the use of my script

- This software is licensed under: GNU GPLv3

- If you have problems with the path you can edit my script and replace the present one with your correct.

- In some cases it is better first format the sd card, copy the old file and then run the script

- This script can also improve a few hours the battery life, but does not solve bugs related to the kernel

- For best results take at least 2 cycles of charging

- If you have problems with the part relating to the control of the root user, remove it

I hope that my work is useful :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Areanetwork:
Yes of course :)

if you download (e.g. in /download)

unzip the zip that you have downloaded

open terminal emulator (if you don't have download from market)

write this commands:

- cd download (this is an example)

- su

sorry for my phrases,

but it's simply stupid and not sense, cm7 battery drain is caused by RIL and its lib, not from gallery thumbs

anyway its not fix and doesn't work,

battery is consequence by governor, voltage, and cpu usage, delete cache of gallery will only drain battery for re build, two hours plus in your cases doesn't depend from this but, maybe from coherence in your use

Cant install CLK :confused::mad:

So I got my HTC today :D

This is what I did:

1. Power off , volume down power on get into rainbow menu

2. Run HSPL 4 to install 3.03 HSPL

3. Installation successful

4. Went into HD android Nand toolkit to install CLK

5. Ran task 29 ,restarted back into rainbow menu

5. Selected 180mb partition with 44mb Cache

6. Ran repartition followed on screen instruction and progress bar came up on my phone and installed fine (I think?)

7. Device restarted and stuck on HTC screen

Watched the guide on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 to install CLK

Went through procedure.... and im still stuck on HTC screen

Cant get into fastboot to intall cwm, power on with back button held down it just stays on HTC screen.

HELPPPPP

Thnx
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Not sure about clk, never used it, but magldr will ONLY start with 2.08.hspl, AND a 2.x.50 radio, perhaps clk is the same?
[HD2 General] shakerist:
I tried with 2.08 hspl but still its stuck at HTC logo :@ and cant get into clk, dont know what radio im on because it gets stuck on htc logo :D
[HD2 General] Rick_1995:
as far as reports are concerned, People have been running clk with 3.03hspl and 2.10 radios and what not, it just needs to be a .50 to enable 576mb ram.

How is it clk epic fail if it's just you not being able to get it to work ? have you followed everything properly ?
[HD2 General] shakerist:
I didnt mean CLK is a epic fail, I epic failed at installing it. Anyway I reinstalled windows 6.5 again as I read it might help, ran HD2 toolkit and it worked this time round.

None of the backup apps will restore the widgets. This is due to the way android works. you will have to reset up the widgets each time you flash a rom.

I have been told that some of the launchers have backups within themselves though. I always use the stock launcher, so I can't, authoritatively, speak any further to it.

I think we have wait for the release of tango. currently you can change the ringtones when calls come in.. but for text messages, you have to use the preloaded ringtones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
Am I the only one who's disenchanted with the Gmail app on Android? I was hoping it would be better with my Nexus, but nothing has changed.

It doesn't seem like true push. If I set Gmail up as an exchange account in the mail app, it receives my e-mail and notifies me within seconds of sending a test message. The Gmail app randomly notifies me within about 15 minutes or so. Call me anal, but I like to receive my e-mail as soon as possible (sometimes it's important) and I don't see why there's a delay on the official Gmail app.

I know this has been an ongoing issue for some time with Android and my co-worker claims that he's perfectly happy just using the Gmail app, but my experience is that the Email client receives e-mail faster and that's important to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipdeol:
I've been using the gmail app for a while on 4 different devices (N1,G2,Sensation,GNex), and I've never noticed more than a couple second lag receiving emails. I have noticed something since 4.0.4 or possibly the latest gmail update. When I mark an email as read on my computer, the notification no longer clears itself on my phone. I have to manually clear it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackviper71:
It can be strange, and in some cases frustrating. More often than not, my emails come really quick (as they should). There has been a few occurances where an email was delayed by several hours.

And it does seem as though the mail app works better than the gmail app for push email.

Edit: I only use the gmail app, but have used the mail app in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evo3dmaniac:
Never had more than a 30 second delay personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
See, my co-worker swears he doesn't notice a delay either, but I have tested it over and over. When I have notifications on for both the default e-mail client and Gmail, I will get a notification immediately from the e-mail client and nothing from Gmail. More troubling, when I open Gmail, the e-mail is not there yet. It's like it's on periodic check, instead of push.

Currently, I have notifications turned off for the Gmail app and use it to sync everything, then have Gmail set up as an exchange account and only have it pulling in e-mail (no contacts or calendar). It still seems a tad redundant, but its' the only way to ensure that I get my e-mail reliably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluzes:
I've not noticed any delay with using the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brianisme:
No delays here either. I relay email from POP3 accounts to Gmail for the push functionality and it works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
All good here too. Matches my desktop Gmail timing. Btw I love the Gmail app its the best damn email experience I've ever seen on a phone, I use it constantly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
I can't be the only one having this issue. Is it possible that no one here knows any different simply because they haven't tried it as an exchange account through the regular e-mail app? Again, I have had this issue on pretty much every Android phone I have owned. And I can duplicate it any time.

Would anyone care to add Gmail as an Exchange account through the e-mail app and then send themselves a test message? Let me know if you get it in both apps around the same time. In my case, it shows up instantly in the e-mail app and won't show up for several minutes in the Gmail app unless I push the sync button manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengrulz:
i've noticed delays too. really frustrating because i have no idea what can be done about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
Nothing that I know of, because it only seems to affect a small percentage of users. I can find a few posts on the internet with other users complaining about the same issue, but most people who reply say they have no problem (just like this post). It makes me wonder if I created a completely new Gmail account and tied it to my phone, if I'd get e-mail instantly on that account.

Unfortunately, that's not an option. I've had this address for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
How long is your delay, less than a minute? I send myself a test email from my corp work email and it comes thru in less than a minute.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhulk:
The delay varies. Sometimes it's instant, other times it's anywhere from a 5-15 minute delay. I always get the e-mails instantly in the e-mail app when Gmail is set up as an exchange account.

The moral of the story is, it's not reliable. I can never count on getting my e-mail in a timely manner in the Gmail app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
Sign in to the Google Talk application and make sure you're always signed in. I believe that the gTalk-connection is used for push-messages, so if you're signed in into gTalk, push should work.

I also had the delay once, after I restored a backup of the gmail data after a factory reset(actually, yakjuxw -> yakju). I deleted the gmail data and re-configured it. That fixed the problem for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackbanjo:
I'm glad you mentioned this. I have the gmail issue (won't ever recieve push email...have to manually sync) AND I cannot sign into GTalk from my phone.

I wish I could fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but was there ever a resolution to this? I'm having the exact same problem on my HTC One X (AT&T).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tibere86:
Gmail or Gtalk delays are due to router (firewall issues). Just forward the necessary Google ports, and you'll be good to go.

Hey all

Last year my beloved nexus one got screwed up after a networkfix.zip with CM7 nightlies. That means no network, no sound, no usb. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911746) I still had root, and could use my phone as a PDA, but then I upgraded to 2.3.6 through passimg and lost that too.

Now here's what I want to do. I want to downgrade to 2.3.3 so I can root again, but I get the main version is older error. My main version is 3.13.1700.1 so I can't even use the fixed rom for that.

I need help creating a 2.3.3 passimg with the main version set to 3.13.1700.1 or higher in the android-info.txt so I can root with gingerbreak and install a custom recovery. I would really love having root back again, till the time I can get a new device. So if anyone can make the passimg.zip for me, or guide me through the process, I'll be really grateful.

Thanks for your help.

If you are familiar with fastboot, try flashing system.img and boot.img seperatly. Also wipe the system partition. Maybe you have a AT&T Version?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptor402:
I would use fastboot to just flash a custom recovery since I unlocked my bootloader long ago, but the problem is that the USB is no longer working. It charges and all that, but no interface connection. In other words, no computer, PC, Mac or Linux, recognized it. It doesn't even show up as an unrecognized device. No audio either. That's why I need to use the passimg method.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
"HTC might actually be the star of the Android show this time around though, as we have been told HTC will have a major flagship device hitting Verizon shelves in the fall. It’s said to feature a whopping 5-inch 1080p HD display (a non-PenTile screen), a new chipset that includes a quad-core Krait CPU and an Adreno 320 GPU, HTC Sense 5 and a Scribe pen. Yes, HTC is launching a Galaxy Note competitor."

http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/26/verizons-summer-fall-2012-smartphone-roadmap/

If the Scribe pen is going to be built into the Phone like it is the the S-Pen...this may be worth looking at. I would preffer a 5 inch to a 5.3 inch...that tiny bit may make the difference on making it easier to touch the Symbol switch button on the keyboard...plus a 1080p display on a 5" display!? and I though a 720p display was sweet!
