[Desire General] neXus PRIME:
Why are you taking side of manufacturer ?

We are customers, we paid good money to buy a device which should get updated for a couple of years.........specially Android as it is open source.....

See Linux, Ubuntu, Firefox do they charge for updates......

Heck, take APPLE for example, i heard they still give updates for 3g which was released quite a while ago......

I'm not saying your wrong, but why are you thinking from HTC standpoint? They already have too much profit margins......people will still buy new phones even if old ones get updated.........

For example, you can still run the latest windows and apps on a Pentium4 HT even though ITS STONE AGED......see my point? People haven't stopped buying core i7 due to it.......

[Desire General] topgeardave:
Guys you're forgetting the obvious here. HTC does not have to release ICS on the Desire because it is now older than 2 years from initial shipping. Also there's limitations on hardware such as low internal memory. Do not say SD ext as not everybody will understand the point of sd ext. With froyo the last proper ota ROM do not expect any proper updates in the future. Shaky is working on a 3.0 kernel so expect some major improvements when that is released.

If you really want ICS sell your desire and buy a 2nd hand nexus s.
[Desire General] muellersmattes:
Another point is: The least of users would even want to install an official update, because of hardware limitations (too few memory) it could never be an OTA. You all know that, without sd-ext our Desires are nearly unusable. And because of that it would be a download-and-use-at-your-own-risk-thing, as 2.3.3 was. I'd say that the 2.3.3 update was also installed mostly by experienced users, who'd also install a custom rom. So why even release one, if there's plenty of custom roms availible? HTC can use their manpower better. So stop complaining, buy a new phone or use any ICS rom.

BTW, we can call ourselves lucky that the desire even got so many updates. See for example some Motorola phones which are still stuck on 2.1. And that's not because of hardware, but the companies not willing to update. HTC is one of the better, as they still plan to upgrade some of the older devices.
[Desire General] pushu.x:
Never took sides with anyone... because I am in comerce and trade I was just stating a personal opinion on a marketing policy. Besides the fact that I own a HTC product I have no other connection to them... so no need for me to take sides.

And as for linux, firefox, opera and all other "software" developers it makes sense to keep updating because their products only live on others hardware.

Never meant to offend anyone, sorry if I've left that impression.

As for an ICS OTA, even if it were to be released, after using custom ROMs for more than a year now and such a great experience I, personaly, wouldn't go back to stock.

Kind regards.

[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
We need this as it will help others wipe everything for new roms or going back to stock plus you can modify it to wipe the essential things for your rom in specific!

Tested this will work as I'm using Bootloader ver.7 and ICS Flexreaper by Civ

so if you want to use this to wipe everything ive tested on HC and ICS bootloaders it will wipe EVERYTHING BUT FOR YOUR SD card so use with caution please!

anywhom I would like a dev to include this easy for new guys just say flash this and then flash rom..

Anyone else with this problem on HTC One X

I dont have that profile, but the profiles I do have work as they should.

In Settings/Security I have Tasker enabled in Device adminstrators, and also in Settings/Accessibility tasker is enabled.

Check the settings is all I can suggest and it should be ok

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doobs McGee:
I have a feeling that I'm asking a dumb question, but I never asked anything here before so cut me some slack. I was running the energy Rom for the last few months and I became accustomed to the keyboard that was built in. Not swype, but the HTC trace in the stock keyboard on that Rom. I finally decided to try a new Rom, swagged out sense, and I'm back to the sense 1.0 layout. It's been so long since I was on a stock-ish Rom that I forgot that the keyboard doesn't have trace built in. Is there a way to port that keyboard onto this Rom? I've done stupid amounts of Google searching so I wouldn't have to ask here, but of course, I couldn't find anything definitive. Sorry about this novel I have written for such a simple question, but I just want to be clear and have anyone who looks at this realize that I'm not being lazy and avoiding searching beforehand. Thanks in advance for the negative outcome here as I believe that I would've been able to find it if it was possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBQ_:
Try ripping the .apk from titanium backup or unzipping the ROM.

itll be under system/app

or find the keyboard and attempt to back it up via titanium backup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doobs McGee:
I unzipped the apk from the Rom and pushed it to the system/app folder, but then lost the keyboard until I rebooted. After reboot, it just kept FC'ing every 5 to 10 seconds. What I'm trying to find out is if there is an incompatibility with the sense 3.5 keyboard working on sense 1.0. Thanks for the response though!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doobs McGee:
Is there anybody who can give me a definitive answer on whether this is possible? I'm really hating typing without trace.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
They're dependent on the frameworks from each Sense version, so I'm sorry, I don't believe it's possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doobs McGee:
Shucks, I thought that would be the case. Thanks for answering that for me. Any recommendations on a third party swype like keyboard that isn't swype? I don't like the native swype one because it sucks when using it to tap certain words and its predictions are usually way off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I'd uninstall the native Swype and install the Swype Beta. It works better. Other than that, I don't really know if there are other "free" solutions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doobs McGee:
I uninstalled swype and attempted to install swype beta but I keep getting an error message saying there is a problem parsing the package. I've seen in their forums that it could be the browser but I don't have the stock browser. Whatever, I'll fix it soon enough. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
small double digits should be fine, 10-20 is my usual ... all depends on what u have switched on :P

RILJ is Random but i read somewhere that after 2-3 full batt recharge cycles if it shows up recharge to 100% then switch to flight mode follow that by a restart and once up n stable go flight mode off and no more RILJ. iv had it a few times on but nothing serious 10-20s in a total of 3-4 hours of on time.

AudioOut_1 is totally random but anything going in the headset out 3.5mm will start it randomly, wether talking on the phone with a headset or listening to music using the aux wire

[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
The international version gets around 5665. Just saying.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
I have the international quad core version. Benchmark around 5200 - 5400 everyttime. The advantage comes from mostly the cpu score where all cores are used. However apart from benchmarks, I never saw more than 2 cores being used.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Quadrant is the worst benchmark to compare anything to now a days.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
It has suddenly become the worse benchmark because somehow the dual core s4 can keep up with the tegra 3 and not far off exynos 4. People like to see benchmarks that's plays to their devices advantages. Antutu has become the new favorite as it scales well to four cores and not that critical of tegra 3 and exynos lack of memory bandwidth/ IO performance against krait. However in realworld usage I would say even quadrant paints an over optimistic idea of actual performance for quad core devices. Despite similar quadrant scores, multiple users who have both commented on faster and more fluid experience on the krait chip.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1685030
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
Why do people argue over benchmarks? Both the s4 and exynos are fast and fluid and won't go wrong with either.
[Galaxy S III General] SiNJiN76:
Wonder if the 2GB of RAM will help the S4 not lag. Especially while doing the popup video.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Pop up video doesnt lag on my quad core version. However i am experiencing out of memory home screen restarts and browser crashed when opening too many tabs with flash enabled. My music player also auto quits sometimes when open up a new tab in browser or using any other memory hungry apps. Very annoying.
[Galaxy S III General] jack_frost:
I have noticed using TouchWiz/Apex was causing the phone to lag a lot. I switched to Nova and the experience is smooth as silk. No freezing or ram issues yet, and i normally have 20 tabs open on Opera Mini + Music playing and whatsapp + email + gtalk+ wordfeud + a calendar widget + Gtasks widget

Opera Mini does its own memory management tho, clears pages once in a while, but not often.

edit - using the international quad core version :) -

I can guarantee you won't see any difference at all in 99% of activities in Exonys vs S4, both have plenty of cpu power to spare. The extra 1GB will make a difference in the amount of open apps that can be maintained. And the Mali will be faster in the demanding games. That's about it.

And if there is a performance difference will you come on here an apologize for guaranteeing people that it wouldn't? Jk.
[Galaxy S III General] xAnimal5:
I have NEVER used more than 600mb of RAM on a phone and I have done some pretty crazy s*** on my note. YouTube, Chrome, Gmail, Email, Messaging, Shadowgun all running at the same time don't slow down my note when run simultaneously.

Unless you've got like 4 heavy duty games running, you will NEVER surpass 1gb of RAM.

And given Qualcomm's track record with SoC's.... yeah I'll pass. Once again, US carriers butcher a great phone, so that it has LTE-peen speeds. LTE is annoying in the sense that it is developed enough to have carriers endorse it, but is not refined at all.
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
You haven't used a One X then lol. I don't see how they butchered a great phone. The S4 is a blazing fast soc. I will gladly take the 2gb of ram. I really feel ICS needs more than 1gb to run efficient. I'm tickled pink with US specs and will be preordering my S3 in the morning.

Does the galaxy s3 mali 400 have dedicated video ram?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I don't know. If I could take a guess, it does not. I just know the ATT One X does not as comparing their processes while both phones are running the same and identical UI and OS settings you see a major difference.

For Samsung, I don't know for certain because I don't know how they programmed their UI and OS and what they are having our task managers report to us. So this is why I can only take a guess in this instance.
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
Exactly. 1gb just doesn't cut it any more.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
1GB is plenty. If the NA version would have had 1GB no one would have even cared.

Seems like people on here always have to have something to complain about.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
1gb is good enough, all you need is to wait for updated roms with bug fixes.

though people love to see more free memory in android free memory = waste memory.

even if i get LTE version the above point stands the same
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
Your right, free memory is wasted memory, but something is severely wrong when your launcher and every other app you re-open has to completely refresh. You think HTC and Samsung are using aggressive memory management because they want to? No, its because they must in order for the phone to run correctly. It has nothing to do with battery life. The other alternative is add more ram, but this cost them more money per unit. I guess with the S4 version, due to the Adreno hogging up dedicated ram, Samsung figured they had no choice. HTC should have made the same decision.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Are you going to post any facts or something to show or are you going to keep speculating? The SGS2 has the same amount of free ram and used ram and yet it doesn't have problems. How do you know it's not software?

What is your reasoning behind the SGS2 having similar ram and being able to multitask fine? Let me know when you come out with some facts.

Lastly, I just returned my ATT HOX yesterday. The Multitasking was very bad on it, and the launcher would refresh. But so far my SGS3 has been perfectly fine with the same amount of apps I have been running often. I think I will run into the problem when I open FLASH web browsers but I believe it may be due to software not being optimized for the Exynos yet. Who knows. Same reason why iplayer HD or whatever isn't running well.
[Galaxy S III General] americasteam:
What kind of facts do you want? Both versions of the One X have this issue, and from what I have read so does the International S3 to some extent (TW reloading). Is your S2 running ICS, is it running the same hardware, or pushing the same screen res as the One X or S3? Heck, my wife's Inspire is the multitasking king. Does that mean that these next generation phones don't require more ram than is in the Inspire?

More powerful hardware and more sophisticated software will require more ram to run freely. We have come to that point. You think Samsung is adding ram because they feel the performance of the S4 isn't up to the task? No, the S4 kicks butt (I know, I know, 4 corezez is better than 2 corezez), it's because we are running extremely tight with just 1gb of ram. Yes, software optimization can help, which HTC is lacking, but you can only squeeze so much blood out of a turnip.

I would gladly take the extra ram than 6 more cores. Where do you need all that CPU power anyway? I wasn't going to buy the S3, but the inclusion of the extra ram pushed me to their side. I hope the S3 is awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
What does RAM have to do with the screen resolution? That's all on the GPU, which is capable of doing so because it has been double clocked.

Pew, another user, and I compared programs and he was able to open 4 to 5 more apps than I could with our One X. He reached about 8 apps, how many more apps do you honestly need to have open?

Point was you don't got any facts so stop talking like you do. Until the SGS3 S4 comes out or a reviewer or someone else actually enlightens us, nothing is certain on why the problems you listed earlier are happening like the home launcher reloading.

Lastly, do you even have a SGS3?
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Here's what I have open and all multitasking fine. Netflix has a video open, my browser has 3 tabs. None of the apps take anymore than 40mb, and I still have about 150mb left.

What I have noticed that a lot of users are having problem when they use Flashplayer and apps that are Flashplayer based. It really sounds like the problem stems from Flahs (maybe that's why apple is more focused on HTML5).

But my HOX could not even open 3 or 4 of these apps without them refreshing when I open them. After opening 3 more apps, I noticed the last 4 on my list began to refresh, and the rest were still fine, this was around 10 apps total, gallery, etc... I don't know how often I'll have to switch between 10 apps, but so far I haven't had to.

So far so good, no homescreen relaunches like my HOX which did not handle Google Voice, Facebook, browser with 1 tab, messenger app. The HOX also froze my google voice and messenger causing it to noy sync and I missed dozens of text and messages.
