[Android General] Ace42:
Being "lazy" is the reason why so many Android apps run poorly across the board; fine, I understand more power allows you to offload more work to the cpu, but that doesn't mean that's the correct method. If I were to make an app for a Dual environment I would specifically make sure each core is sharing the burden. When Dual core phones & Ginger were(and still are) united, the result was simply stunning—Ginger was definitely not optimized for dualcores. And it showed, my Sensation was so laggy under 2.3.x, it was so disheartening to see my single core devices could challenge the dual beast with ease.

The average consumer doesn't know or can't even comprehend the raw power that certain SoCs are capable of, so I doubt they care if X phone has 2GHz and the other has 1Ghz. Apple normally doesn't boast about the CPU count in commercials, they boast about their OS & siri, that's how they win over millions each year. Everyone and their grandmothers know how flawless iOS is. Now I know I'm bashing Android severely, though I am a long time Android user and these are some of my views.

True, WP7 offers the bare minimum when it comes to customization, which is an unfortunate sacrifice for speed. And Microsoft has set HW limitations to prevent fragmentation, which if I may, is devastating the Android market. We have Exynos over there, Snapdragon under there, and Tegra round yonder, and a large variety of screen types.

Scrolling is slow? Are you using the 1st iPhone or something? Last time I tried my friend's 4S is was quite speedy, iOS has always been the fastest mobile OS available. If memory serves, iOS has also been GPU accelerated since the old days, a feature relatively new to Android and maybe WP7. I pretty sure you can visit every Android forum on XDA & at least 10 users will report that they have lag in X, Y, Z app. However if you did a poll with random iOS users I doubt if you would even find a black sheep.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xceptiona1noob:
I cannot post to the below forum or else I would

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416470

I have this ROM installed in my Xperia Play r800x, things seem to be working except that the marketplace no longer will install any of my previously installed applications, they all say incompatible with the device. Is there a fix for this or a limitation of using the ROM?

I read that the ro.sf.lcd_density= shoud be 240 and it was 210 I believe...I went ahead and set it too 240, rebooted, force closed google play and cleared cache and rebooted, still same issue.

cleared play store cache, changed lcd density, then booted to CWM and cleared cache THEN it started allowing apps to install...just thought I would post the fix I used. Though Im sure most folks know it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizocodes:
I was listening to Play Music with headphones.

I then received a call.

That's when my curiosity kicked in so I answered the call, without removing my headphones like normal.

Well, I could hear the other person through the headphones so I decided to unplug them.

Then I finished my call in the normal way without the headphones.

The next call I received I could hear the person, however, they couldn't hear me.

So I tried rebooting my phone and called them back, with the same results.

I then decided I should try the headphones again, yep could hear them.

I looked through the setting for the sound and couldn't find anything that would seem to help me.

Then I tried to re-flash my ROM, Neutrino 2.7.

So I went through all previous stated troubleshooting with the same end results.

My wife is getting annoyed with me by calling all the time.

So I turn to you all knowledgeable XDA folk!

Have you ever experienced this with yourself?

Know of any fix?

I am off to check the other devices to see if something like this has happened.
[General Questions and Answers] Jimlarck:
No idea if its possible. Looked through other threads and appearantly it is. But don't know how. Can anyone please show a way to overclock an HP Laptop, ok, It's Windows 64bit and Windows 7, it has 4ghz right now. I don't care if I get to overclock .3ghz , this is more of a curious question. But at the same time I want to try. Well any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gfropr:
I decided to replace my RAZR with a Nexus for the ability to unlock my boot loader and use an extended battery, what I wasn't aware of was how crap the reception on this phone is holy sh*t. I went from 88 dBm on my Razr(wife gets 90 on the Charge) to 110-117 sometimes dipping down to the 100's if I'm lucky. I called Verizon multiple times they act very unaware of this issue, like its non existent.

So I decided to flash AOKP, new radio, still nothing. My phone is still switching back and forth from 3g to 4g and just murdering my battery. I'm not gonna turn 4g off cause I pay outrageous amounts of money monthly for that service. The phone should not have this issue period.

This phone has been out long enough where a fix should have cone about already. We have a lemon in our hands worse then the IPhone4 cause at least that was fixable. I am very glad I kept my Razr which gets amazing reception (32-38 Mb) compared to (9-15) on my Nexus. Something is seriously wrong with the Nexus and I recommended selling it or not buying one in the first place. The phone is nice the antenna is garbage. BTW my phone went from 32% to 12% while I wrote this POS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Cool story, bro.

My reception got better with the latest 4.0.4.(IMM76K) update/leak. Is reception your only actual complaint? And that's why you say this phone "sucks so bad"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Sounds like a defective device dude.. Turn it back to stock and ask for a replacement..

Then try again and update to the Last stock release

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
Hold your phone up above your head and way it around like a crazy person.. that normally helps the reception.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Yea Motorola phone will usually have better reception its a slight trade off. But like the other poster stated the update has improved my reception. I don't see how you could really enjoy the experience on a Razr as opposed to the gnex I know preference is preference but this phone is way more responsive and user friendly. I am on glados kernal and got almost 4 hours of screen on time today. Try different things and remember you can't try aokp with a kernal for a day and make a determination. I've been on liquid and slim rom with glados for weeks to determine its my ideal set up right now.

So does anyone still have this version of the kernel? The one with oc & uv. I know its very outdated but I have never seen any kernel run as well as that one did on my phone. Idk how I lost it.

After installing the S Voice app, use a root explorer app to edit your build.prop to mimic that of the SGSIII. SEE POST #5 FOR PIC GUIDE.

Change...

ro.product.model=(Your Device)

To...

ro.product.model=GT-I9300

Do the same with line ro.product.device

Save changes and exit app. Reboot device and enjoy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Thanks for posting this... I'm wondering a couple of things:

- why did it work for a good 13 or 14 hours with no problem, through a few reboots, and never once give a network error -- and then suddenly start showing this, to me and to several other folks round the same time?

- if I modify build.prop as described, what's the potential impact on other operations on my Galaxy Nexus? Will other software get screwed up, thinking it's on a phone that's different than what it's really on?

Thinking about the first question brings me back to my earlier speculation that perhaps Samsung or Vlingo was filtering communication based on the S Voice unique ID -- but that was pretty much disproved. Now I'm wondering whether Vlingo is filtering traffic for this app based on device type, and is restricting it - for the moment - to S3 devices...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackElvis79:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intriskman:
If you are getting FCs after making the the build.prop changes and rebooting just reinstall the apk and that should fix everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
You created that for the Sensation. It doesn't work at all on the Gnex so why would you post it here?

Hi there all

I also have a HTC Sensation XE (Android Version 4.0.3 / HTC Sense Version3.6) and it wont work :/ It always crashed when I start the app.

I tried both versions, the normal one "S-Voice of GS III.apk" with the build.prop which I had to edit 2 lines and the new "svoice-signed.apk" where you have to change nothing. (i rebooted always after the app-install)

I put big effort in it and I am clueless now..

Here is an explanation what I did:

1. I read the whole Thread, no help :( Then I registered here and saw the xda-noob-video, so funny :) because I know exactly what you mean... I work at an IT-Helpdesk..

2. First I had to Root my Phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553#

3. i am rooted now, i checked it with this tool: Root Check Basic --> everything fine

4. then i installed the standard-version S-Voice of GS III.apk, opened "root explorer" (which i bought especially for this!), mounted the \system as R/W, edited the build.prop with Jota Text Editor, saved it (original-file got named build.prop.bak), reboot the phone

5. i could start the app, but could never finish the introduction because it always crashed after 2-3 setup steps...

6. then i cleaned everything (deleted the old app, renamed the build.prop.bak back again, reboot the phone, fix permissions in the recovery mode), because i saw there is a new modified app here

7. then I installed the new app svoice-signed.apk, reboot the phone, now it doesnt even start, it always crashes at the beginning...

Any help/ideas?

Is it maybe because my system language of Android is German ?

Maybe try going into settings and change the voice to Samsung by vlingo or something like that. Changing the voice/ language settings may help. I thought there was a language pack going around somewhere. I will see if I can pull one out.

Facebook working!

So, I managed to hack the settings file and get facebook working.

First, you need facebook for Android installed, and you have to have logged in and set your username and password.

Then you need to edit

/data/data/com.vlingo.midas/shared_prefs/com.vlingo.midas_preferences.xml

and basically change three of the lines that contain 'facebook'.

I left

<long name="facebook_expires" value="0" />

unedited, but changed the log in details

<boolean name="facebook_account" value="true" />

<string name="facebook_account_name">[Display Name]</string>

the hard one was the

<string name="facebook_token">[long encrypted sequence of letters and numbers]</string>

which you need to go find from the

/data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases/fb.db

sqlite database.

This is not as hard as it sounds. In adb shell, run

sqlite3 /data/data/com.facebook.katana/databases/fb.db "select value from user_values where name = 'active_session_info';"

And use the value (minus the quotes) which comes after "access_token"

Also, I then grabbed my profile picture from the same sequence (after "pic_square"), and updated

<null name="facebook_picture_url" />

to

<string name="facebook_picture_url"></string>
changing the \/s to / so ... browser.
but it seems to have had no effect.
