[HTC One X] RADLOUNI:
not true

I agree that Benchmarks might not be the best way to judge a phone's performance, yet it is still a good indicator of how a phone stands in front of others.

I own an HTC One X, and to say that those benchmarks are totally pointless is plain stupid. a Higher score is generally indicative of better hardware

Look at our HOX compared to the SGSIII, the SGSIII scored higher, and upon analyzing the score it turned out that this is only because of the modified Mali-400, the CPU performance is the same, and this is quite true as both have an ARM9 architecture.

Going back to the topic of this thread, the benchmark dropped upon upgrading from 1.26 to 1.28 from 4900 to 4300, and this is indicative that the new software might have fixed something at the expense of other. This could be known upon inspecting the scores of the individual tests in Quadrant (CPU, graphic, mem, I/O).

Unfortunately i can give you the numbers of 1.28, if someone has 1.26 and can post the numbers, that would give us an indication of what went wrong.

Thanks
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
We've just told you, Quadrant doesn't even support more than 2 cores - Quadrant scores are INVALID for both the SGS3 & the HOX.

Here is AnTuTu result, which DOES support all cores & does a much through test too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KamFLoa6Lr8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

SGS3: 11492

My own HOX: 12039

My HOX isn't even running android 4.0.4 like the SGS3, just 4.0.3 here.
[HTC One X] forumhookersdotcom:
Why my HOX has less score when comparing with others?
[HTC One X] treebill:
All hardware is not the same, the hox should score 10 - 12 k.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Try closing all apps in task manager, then allow the phone to sit for a few mins on idle with screen off, then go straight to AnTuTu & benckmark.

This should rule out any software or temperature interference.

if there is going to be a gps reminder thingy ill be extremely happy. nothing like pulling into walmart and having your phone remind you to get the toilet paper you have desperately been needing for a couple days. it can be quite the cleansing experience.

i am also wondering if they are going to throw in the sheep reference towards apple users. i know its petty, but if i could get the phone to make fun of some of the tree huggers that hang out in starbucks... i might get a laugh and it would make my purchase of the phone all the more worth it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
If it's extensible enough so other apps can use it them it may be really useful. Google Voice hasn't done this. e.g. 'forward this email to my Tennis group and upload all attachments to Dropbox'. Or 'Play TuneIn channel ABC'. Complex voice commands could really be useful. We know Siri is nothing more than a simple keyword recognition engine so I'm hoping Samsung has done something better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Agree, until we know what its capabilities are there is no way to make a guess at how useful it might be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
S-Voice is use to execute tasks through voice recognition. Problem is this technology still not good enough to be able to recognise our voice accurately. So usability is limited at the moment.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
Basically a faulty driver in the leaked Samsung ICS kernels can cause damage to your eMMC chip while flashing, wiping and handling large files. Just about any custom ICS rom currently released is based on the leaks so there is a chance you run into trouble when you're using one of them. It might be a very small chance, it could be the bug will never be triggered but it's a very nasty one if it does get triggered.

It basically means Your Galaxy Note turns into a Galaxy Not. You won't be able to use it and need a motherboard replacement to fix the problem if you're affected by the bug.

Hi guys!

Is there anyone who got USB OTG (Host) working with the latest ICS kernel (3.0) on Kindle Fire? I am mostly interested in connecting a flash drive.

If yes, can you please tell me how you did it? What ROM do you use? Does it require a powered USB hub?

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhayworth:
Hey dude! Yes, I got an OTG adapter working on my kindle fire. Powered USB hubs aren't required unless you are going to use multiple devices or a USB 2.0 device. The main use for mine is to use a keyboard (which is freaking awesome). To use flash drive you must have an app called stickmount which is free on the play store. I have attempted to use two flash drives on mine: a 2gb atache and a 2gb lexar. The 2gb atache wasn't even detected but the lexar was detected but I couldn't figure out how to use it. I got all this to work on AOKP KF Edition Milestone 5 with Hashcode's 3.0 Kernel #8. Hope this helped.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leswgnr:
;

Flash drives will work fine. My 16gig worked first try with Hashcodes ICS build3/kernel 8. Most drives will require a hub, the kindle fire does not put out enough power without one. Several threads extend the possibility that future kernel changes might affect the power output, and several point out some iphone/pod type adapters that also might work (update 5/7-the adapters did not work). Without any of those, only the smaller drives have any chance of working. Stickmount, or equivalent software, along with a USB micro-otg cable, are also required.

is there any roms that can improve my battery life??

im getting low as 50kbs to 500kbs....

is this normal?? when i used tmobile ... it was much much much faster...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
We need some screenshots of a full battery use so we can start diagnosing.

Welcome to Sprint! Those 3G speeds are normal.

You have to realize that CDMA EVDO 3G is extremely slow (technology-wise) compared to HSPA+ 3G. And it just gets worse when you're on Sprint (well known for slow speeds).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
What is your screen on time for the battery life? You should be able to get ~3hrs of screen on time with the phone. As for download speeds, I've heard several reports of poor 3G speeds from Sprint from several areas across the US. I don't have first hand experience, but I would think 500K should be the lowest you should see unless you have almost no service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Did you update to FD02 yet? Sprint has been really slow lately tho. I've done side by sides with a SGS2 and Evo 4G on Sprint and they consistently got the same speeds as me. So I've decided it's not a hardware issue. Supposedly Sprint is doing a massive overhaul of their network but depending on where you live you may never see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhstonehhh:
even if i have full bar im getting real slow 3g speed.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
While it is slow comparatively, it still has the ability to get sustained download speeds over 1Mbps with burst rates of 2-3Mbps. At 50-500K, he is well below both of those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhstonehhh:
i guess i should call sprint and complain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhstonehhh:
screen on time was about 1 hour
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm not on Sprint lol. But I have been and will never go back. Those speeds are not out of the ordinary for their 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
those are REALLY slow 3G speeds. my nexus s averages between 4-7mbps(3G tmobile) in the nyc area and its not a 4G or HSPA+ phone. my galaxy nexus(gsm, tmobile) averages between 6-12mbps in the same area.

im guessing the lte radio is partially to blame, at least, for the poor battery life. it might be constantly trying to connect. have you tried turning off the lte radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Could try but it won't help much. They're aware the speeds suck.

That's not very good. I see you're using Juice Defender, that might be hurting more than its helping.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

That's because HSPA is much faster than EVDO.

Unless he's switching ROMs, it's off by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't think so. The speeds really are that bad. I'd go to a Sprint store personally and compare to other 3G devices and talk to them about it.

It usually doesn't actually help and is at best a wash. Hook up something like "Better Battery Stats" or other battery monitors that can show if you've got some wakelocks or bad apps making things worse for you.

What kind of brightness are you using also?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhstonehhh:
i see... cuz i thought my battery or phone was defected..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well not ruling out that it may be, but I'd go into the store and talk with them and compare speeds. That's all I can tell you. But just look around, Sprint is well known for very very slow speeds, especially since getting the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhhstonehhh:
i think youre right~ i should wait for LTE i guess lol

thank you:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
The poor battery life could also be a function of the poor speeds. If it attempts to do any background syncing over the network, it won't have to be out of the sleep state for as long if the speeds are faster. Also, if signal strength is relatively weak, it will try to find a better signal more, also draining battery. While 1 hour of screen on time is bad, it could all be due to poor network performance and a rouge app. I've also seen several people report issues with Juice Defender causing problems, especially on CDMA devices.
