Through the normal Swype website. The resolution issue is a real one. When you install it it works fine, but one you restart the phone, that's when you'll see the resolution problem. There's a thread about it somewhere in the One X area.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Suntarus:
I've seen the resolution issue, all I do is just reboot swype using the swype installer when it crops up, then it goes back to normal. As far as I'm concerned it's not a major issue (unlike the multitasking) to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
Eventually I will be rooting my nexus but I'm wondering what is out right now that is worth rooting?

I know this phone is fairly new so I know there are betas out there

Is there a rom that is pretty solid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Being that it's a nexus...

The roms are built (primarily) from source. And otherwise cherry-picked from other roms.

As such, they are ALL very stable, that I've seen.

The choice is yours.

Root access adds so much to the device...even without a custom rom.

The ability to back your system up.

Back up user apps to transfer to future devices/restore on your current device in the case of failure of some sort...

Better battery life from custom kernels/tweaks/etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Pretty much this

And the Lovely AD-FREE keeps your phone free of advertising.. Thats priceless and you need to be root
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
There are loads of good roms, just about every one is non beta. Aokp is the most popular one, paradigm is good, cyan next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
Thanks everyone

Hopefully there is a one click root for the cdma gnex soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
if you're just rooted, you cant switch kernels unless you're also unlocked.

Wrong. CM is obviously the most popular.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This is incorrect. Of course you can flash whatever kernel you want if you have root. No need for an unlocked bootloader. (This isn't a Motorola device...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
You can flash kernels on the fly, with Android running, so this its correct, you dont need a unlocked bootloader to flash kernels...

Now to search for the best custom rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I have MANY reason for rooting a device. At the top of my list is something I didn't see anyone else mention: WiFi Tether, so I dont have to pay my carrier a monthly fee for tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
or AdAway....

ps. AOPK is probably the best ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OptoChip:
Saying something is the best is subjective though.

You find AOKP to be the best, but I personally prefer CM9 anyday.

Lightening fast, great battery life, and the latest Nightlies have added in quite a few nice features as well (modifiable lock screens, themes, etc...)

Not trying to troll or start a flamewar by any means, but it just irks me when people say something is "the best" when it really comes down to a matter of personal preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
i understand.

ps. modifiable lock screens, themes, etc... have been in AOKP for a long time. I am actually wondering myself if there is anything in CM9 thats missing from AOKP.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
This its a native stock feature... No need of root or any Kind of mods..

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MJ_Arsenault:
Even if you don't plan on flashing a custom ROM, the ability to backup your system is a huge plus. Backing up and saving battery/increasing performance with a kernel is worth rooting (in my book) alone. Throw in all of the awesome custom ROMS available for the GNex and it's a no brainer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Yes, but you have to get a tethering plan from your carrier if you use he stock feature.

Root it and you can use tethering without an extra charge, as the post said in case you didn't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OptoChip:
Not necessarily. If I wanted to use my WiFi Tethering on my Verizon Gnex, I can't actually enable it (I can see the option to in the menu and check the Checkbox to turn it on, but it never does turn on) unless I pay Verizon the $15 a month or whatever it is to use it.

But since I'm rooted, I can enable it anyways without paying that $15 fee every month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Do not put this as a fact.. You know verizon / tmobile / sprint / att are not the only carriers around the world and not all are the same.. In my case my carrier wont charge anything for tethering.. I can use tethering stock unrooted locked out of the box, with iphone / blackberry / android

With the game I'm working on, just tried it on my phone today (haven't tested in a few months) and I have noticed some lagging with the new faster animations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faryaab:
The thing is that if you are hardly able to run the game on a Mali-400MP then the game would lag like hell even on T2/T3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otester:
T2/T3?

Also I wouldn't say it hardly runs, minimum of 20FPS, lots of optimizations to be done though such as LOD (basically chops poly count down on far away models).

For lower devices...

Dynamic lighting turned off.

Light maps could be baked into the texture

Normal maps removed.

Specular maps removed.

At the moment it's probably the same or exceeds the quality of Shadowgun THD.

as we know Adreno 225 is Adreno 220 with double the frequency (thanks to that new manufacturing process of the CPU also the GPU still using the same process...)

so can't someone extract the new drivers so everyone with Mali 400 GPU can use it?

Just wonder whether clocking up the GPU might pose heating issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
it wont and it didnt as per the reviews, thanks to the new manufacturing process. heating might be possible if overclocked with a custom kernel in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erahgon:
The reason that it can be clocked up so much more stems from the fact that it is hardware optimized.

-> 32nm process.

-> High-K Metal Gate (HKMG).

-> High clock speed of 400MHz.

Add to that some kernel and software optimization, and they all result in a faster and better (more efficient) GPU performance. It was in one of the previous posts, with source links.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Smoking Man:
I wonder if it will be able to handle some of the additional effects like the Tegra 3 has and how does it run GTA3. Is there any video of that? I wonder why almost no one tests these things.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
I bet my penis(well,almost :p ) it can handle everything that Tegra 3 does better than Tegra 3 does.A GPU isn't designed with either performance/power or supporting effects and higher quality graphics like NVidia tries to make us believe.You have the power,you can do anything.Samsung is just stupid to not market the hell out of this thing's GPU like NVidia does.It should do the same thing and get versions of games that are "optimized for the Exynos 4412".Not that it's a good thing to be done,on the contrary,it's actually the worst anti-competitive behavior,but they should make NVidia and its fanboys shut the hell up for once.Every time I hear that the Tegra 3 is the most powerful SoC out there(Similarly for the Tegra 2 last year) I think I'll get sick.Then I look at the benchmarks and relax... :D

Hey guys,I've read the whole discussion and since I want to buy a Galaxy S3 or a One X in a few weeks I want to ask something.

Tegra 3 ULP GeForce (with 532MHz and 12 cores) seems better than Mali-400MP to me,which is only a 400MHz quad core. Am I right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otester:
One limitation I have noticed is the lack of RAM in the latest devices, this really restricts the size (quality) of the textures, so I can't take advantage of the extra processing power quad-cores bring, 1GB doesn't do the S3 justice.

Try playing NOVA3 on a HDTV (via MHL), texture quality is really noticeable at higher resolutions (1080p).

Just like with desktop cards, frequency doesn't tell the whole story, and even if the stats on paper were better, it's real world performance that matters and the S3 is the king for the time being, not only that but you also have a better screen, removable battery and a microSD expansion slot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bong4316:
S3 Mali 400 is faster than Tegra 3

The problem with tegra 3 inspite of having more cores is that the cores are not that powerful plus the fact that the tegra 3 is built on a 40 nanometer process that forces the gpu to work at a lower speed. Also nvidia has not used dual channel memory to boost its performance unlike the adreno 225 which uses dual channel memory plus higher clocks to race past the tegra 3..

Every comparative benchmark shows the new Mali 400 quadcore and even the adreno 225 beating up the tegra 3.

What is suprising is that the same mali 400mp4 when clocked at 400mhz can overtake the powervr sgx543mp2 in the iphone 4s.

Now remember that many phones including the s3 have a v-synch cap of 60 fps for their screens so its important to look at the GLBenchmark offscreen 720P rendering tests where the mali400 in the s3 is not limited by v-synch. It clearly overtakes the powervr sgx543mp2 which in turn leads tegra 3.

Only the powervr sgx543mp4 in the New Ipad can beat the revamped mali400 in the offscreen tests.

I do believe that Nvidia is underestimating its rivals in the mobile gpu business by not putting its best hardware forward right away.

Nvidia has misread it's rivals and made a misstep in its mobile gpu releases.

If nvidia knew what its rivals were up to im pretty sure they would have optimised its tegra 3 to use dual channel memory etc

As it is tegra 3 couldnt even catch up to the powervr sgx543mp2 which was announced and released into the market long before tegra 3.

The mali400 in the s3 is going to rule the the smartphone gpu roost for a while till we see what the iphone 5 and exynos 5xxx chipsets bring to the table.

Nvidia's only advantage is its marketing hype for tegra zone, yet there is no technical reason why the designed for tegra games cant run on other gpus with the same special effects, as proven by hacks around the web.

Both Nvidia and PowerVr are responsible for fragmenting openGL standards on android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otester:
And this won't last forever as HTC etc. are losing market share along with the rest of the Tegra 3 crowd, Google may be Nvidia's only saving grace with the Nexus 7 and possible future tablets.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] FlorianO:
Hello all,

I have the following problem: The USB connector side of the standard charger cable for my TF101G is damaged beyond repair. The wall wart is fine.

In my naivity I bought the standard USB adapter (namely this: http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-T...INXQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1336838294&sr=8-6 ) believing that a "standard" USB Type A male -- male cable to connect the adapter to the wall wart will do the trick.

After finding it doesn't I browsed (quickly...) this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087321 . It seems that the adapter is using some different wiring... :(

I tried this with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 (male - male) cable between the wall wart and the USB adapter to no avail.

Question is simple: Can I use the adapter I bought -- via some easy modding of the USB cables if needed -- to charge the tablet (and keyboard) ? Or I simply need to buy another charger ?

Thanks,

Florian
