Well, for me on my phone, its a major difference between 384 and 512. And I've seen several people comment that it is a difference on their phone too. Web pages scroll is jerky on 384 for me, and with 512 its perfectly smooth. I've never ever gotten 5 hours screen on time with any setting I've ever chosen on my phone so thats not even in the question. Max ever was 4:30 screen on, that was with screen brightness lowest possible, entire time with wifi, which is not even in the question for me on a normal day. Normal for me is high 3's.

Anyways, we all know none of these phones are the same. They react differently to different settings. All I know, is on my phone, 512 is by far smoother than 384. And at a 40% OC of the CPU (1680-1700mhz) the phone is also noticeably faster. And actually, on my old Galaxy S, 1400 was the magic number i needed for things to actually FEEL and LOOK faster, which was 40% more. Anything less than that, I couldn't notice a boost. Thats just my thought on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Its very easy to see the difference in scrolling smoothness between 512gpu and 384gpu.

All you have to do is go to theverge.com mobile site and just scroll up and down using the stock browser.

The difference is very noticeable.

The Verge desktop site scrolls fine for me at 307 for the gpu..

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
+1

I don't know about 307 because I always use 384 but I have absolutely no problem scrolling the verge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
I wasn't talking about the desktop site. I was talking about the mobile site.

The mobile site scrolls more smoothly with 512gpu than 384gpu. And the difference is noticeable.

People were saying they can't see a difference between 512gpu vs 384gpu.

Well, here's an example where the difference is noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I was talking about the mobile site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
what exactly are you saying. You are saying you have no trouble scrolling.

But that's not my point. My point is there is a diff between 384 and 512 in scrolling smoothness. Just because u have no trouble scrolling in 384 doesn't mean there isn't a difference in smoothness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There is absolutely no difference scrolling mobile or desktop for me.

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
I am saying that there is no difference in smoothness for me between 384 and 512.

I have used both.

The most powerful effect in the world is the placebo effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
ok, well I disagree... The difference to me is obvious and that is back to back reboots.

If you don't notice the difference more power to you since running at a lower gpu will save battery.

For me, I want the smoothest possible experience and that's why I oc the gpu and oc the cpu and just carry a spare battery in wallet.

And I still get around 4 hours of screen on time with wifi. Good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Likewise. And its been said many times. No phone is the same. All hardware tends to react differently. Some like oc and respond well to it whereas some don't. Just like giving head to a guy. Some like, some don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jenkss:
I've tried and used both kernals on various roms since getting my Nexus.

Both very similar. Would recommend either of them. Was using Gladdos on my daily regular user up until I flashed a CM9 based rom today and seeing how that goes with the included kernal for now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GrandAdmiral:
I installed Nova Launcher today on my rooted, unlocked HOX (1.73) and it immediately asked me for root access. I denied it, but I have never seen a launcher do this before on any of my other rooted devices. Has anyone seen this before?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phatboypat:
It's been a while since I've used it, but I think it needs root access to show widgets in the app drawer like stock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
You are correct, sir. It's tied to making widgets do things widgets shouldn't normally do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GrandAdmiral:
So in your opinion it was good for me to deny access?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
No, it doesn't hurt to allow it. It let's you put widgets in dock bar, and folders in app drawer, and things like that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
If I made it sound like nova launcher did bad things I apologize. It didn't really hurt to deny root access but it definitely doesn't hurt to grant it either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GrandAdmiral:
No problem. I'll remove it from the denied list and give it a go.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roeiboot:
i have a stoopid question (happens both w/ Apex and Nova) i can't see to find and add like a large clock and such. i feel like a moron ;]

added; i mean when i press and hold on the home screen i do get the menu where i can choose widgets but no clocks there.. today has been very counter productive HOX wise ;(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
Sense widgets, like the large clocks, are only available in the sense launcher. Try fancy widgets or hd widgets.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Azazel1333:
I have been browsing through the forums for some time now and haven't had much luck.. So I thought i'd post my question here.

First off, here's the situation:

I purchased an HTC Raider from Bell mobility about 6 weeks ago. I ran some speed tests and was getting 10+ mbps, which I was quite impressed with. About 3 weeks ago (around the time of the release for the ICS with bell, and after I updated it) I started to notice slower connection speeds. I started to run some speed tests and to date I am getting about 3kbps download speeds, while maintaining very high upload speeds. I can still open webpages and use the internet, but things such as facebook can take up to 30 seconds to load a page.. and downloads are significantly slower. Instead of <1 minute downloads i'm expecting closer to 5 mins.

My Question:

Is there any way to fix this problem? Any suggestions as to how to establish a stronger connection and to increase my download speeds to what they were when i first got the phone? I know my phone and network is capable of much higher speeds, I just dont know what the issue is.

Thanks in advance! - all suggestions welcome!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Azazel1333:
Just so that everyone is aware, I have restarded the phone, tried different sim cards, contacted technical solutions, done factory reset, etc. Everything is up to date, and there is no reason that the issue would be on the provider's end of things. Have tried in a similiar phone running on the same network, and there are no issues all. It's something to do with the phone and it's current settings. --

thanks again!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] stang1986:
any luck yet

been having issue also worked good for the first month its being sent back for third time fix it shop there support is no help take your money thats it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dale3:
Same Slow Speeds

I have had exactly the same problems. I have called Bell TS and went through the same proceedures, including a factory reset. The strange part of it is this started to happen right after the upgrade as well, but only seems to happen in an area near lake huron. As soon as i leave this area all my speeds come right up and everything operates normally. My wifes phone, HTC Desire, operates normally on both upload and download. Hers has not been upgraded to ICS (i am afraid that she will have the same problems). After a bunch of testing on my part, i beleive there is something related to the ICS update that certain bell towers dont like. I have relayed all this to Bell, their answer is to send me off to the billing dept to get a partial refund. I am running a stock Bell rom at the moment. There has to be something within the ICS upgrade that can be tweaked to fix this concern, since my wifes phone (on the same network) works perfectly.

Thanks for any help
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
Assuming you are on an LTE plan (yes?) and that you have an LTE sim card and all that...

1) Is there LTE coverage in the zone you are normally in?

2) Go to Settings, About Phone, Network. Under Mobile Network Type, does it say LTE or HSDPA?

3) Go to Settings, Mobile Network, Access Point Names. Are there many entries in the list, or just one? Click the one that is active (with the green dot or whatever) and compare it to below (I can't see this being incorrect because it's FROM Bell , but just in case?)

Also.. have you tried going to other areas (where reception could be better?) and trying a speed test there?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pockrunk:
I have a Raider on Bell too. How's your WiFi speed? Min is pretty damn slow. Like worse than 2g speeds but on all WiFi connections.

Im in Vancouver BC Canada, if you want to cross reference your settings to mine I would be happy to read them off to you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I'm pretty happy with my LTE speed. I get 30-40mbps usually... 15mbps on a bad day. But then again, I'm right in the city. Bell's LTE coverage outside the city isn't the greatest just yet. If you have a friend that is also on Bell LTE, compare your speed tests from the same location.

Or compare with a friend on Rogers LTE? My friend (on a Rogers Raider) doesn't get very good speed while at my place.

As for wifi... I don't know. Are you into trying custom ROMs/kernels? I wonder if they can help with better wifi performance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
Lol..really? I was getting way faster speeds on rogers LTE in Toronto..weird..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XCmaster:
So here's the deal..

So I'm no newb when it comes to flashing roms. my Dinc is my 3rd phone with a custo.m ROM. Well what happened is. I flashed to cm9 kangs from cm7 v13. Well after about a week I was sick of the instability and having to install apps twice just got annoying.. soo... I decided to go back to cm7 but I didn't have it on my sd anymore so I pulled it from my comp and flashed through ROMmanager. Well upon booting it got stuck in a bootloop (which is the first time I've encountered this.) So I took out the battery, and I held down both volume and the power button and the phone vibrated 5 times and the LED went from flashing red to green and the screen stayed black. Now I can't boot into recovery.. nothing. Almost thinking its bricked... is there any way to save this phone?

Thanks for any help u can gived.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
If you can access hboot its not bricked. You need to do the five vibes fix herehttp://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33, if you can get to hboot to use fastboot. If you cant access hboot you are out of luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XCmaster:
well an update. what i did was pulled the battery and held down the power button for 10 seconds, then put in the battery and plugged the charger in. and it forced it back into the bootloop. i was then able to access hboot and try and reinstall. well both cm7 and cm9 both started the bootloop. so i went through and factory reset the phone and formatted the sd. and also wiped the dalvik and cache. also formatted system/data/cache, and reinstalled cm7 and it started force closing EVERYTHING. so i completely wiped the phone and reinstalled cm9 and everythijg worked fine, so i went back to cm7 and now everything is working as before. didnt have to enter code in the terminal emulator blahblah.. just an easy fix for me dont think itll work for most but did here so its worth a try i guess.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
Well....i updated to the .905 OTA file and i can't boot into the Safestrap recovery, although it appears i still have root as apps that need root still function and i see the 'granted super user permissions' notice..

I was going to flash the new Eclipse 3.0, but no luck getting into Safestrap...

Little help?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kwcummins22:
Same problem here. Power down. Hold both volume up and down while powering up. Fastboot menu should come up. Press volume down to the last option BP Tools, then volume up to enter the selection.Mine reboots into safestrap. You'll need to uninstall and reinstall safestrap. works like normal now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] znel52:
you probably just need to reinstall. you should still have a safestrap icon in your app drawer. open it and hit install safestrap. for whatever reason it gets removed during updates.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
looks like i've lost root with the .905 update. Trying to update the Superuser binary, on 'gaining root access' it fails. Is there any way to restore root access without connecting to a PC? Don't have a USB cord with me at the office...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
No. You need a pc.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papasmurph:
thanks...

Strangely enough...or maybe its not strange and i just don't know enough...when i switch to my 'SAFE' system Eclipse ROM, i still DO have root access. i didn't know that was possible...?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silvernirvash:
Didn't think that was possible....strange....maybe you so have root its just.....weird....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
Your safe and unsafe systems are completely separate. When you updated to .905 and lost root on your unsafe system, your safe system was still sitting there, rooted and waiting. As long as you still have your 3rd party recovery installed, you're rooted (as far as I'm concerned). For the stock ROM to be rooted, just run motofail.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ManOfBusiness:
I lost root with .905 safe strap would still show at boot but would black screen if selected.

you just need to reroot, with motofail.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
Hi all,

After 2 years with the my beloved DINC (actually my 4th replacement) I am now getting a DINC2 from Asurion. I hadn't flashed anything since last year when I moved from CM7 to MIUI until a few weeks ago when I flashed to Abduction ICS. I love that ROM! It is well laid out, good looking, andruns great. It was like getting a new phone for me. Unfortunately my audio jacked borked so bye bye dinc.

I have looked around a bit in development here. I saw the sticky about not flashing the Chinese RUUs and not downgrading the bootloader. Can anyone suggest a ROM I might like? I'm hoping just to find a good one, get everything configured and not mess around flashing for awhile.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
For ICS roms, CM9 and AOKP are the two big ones. AOKP has more options and customization, but aeroevan's cm9 is modded specifically for our phone so it runs smoother. If you do use aokp, use aero's kernel with it. Personally, I switch between the two as new features come out.

If you're looking for a sense rom, nitsuj's TSM UltimateKangBang is very nice, I personally can't stand sense but I did flash that for a day and it was pretty smooth.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
Thanks Proto that is very helpful. I'll probably try both CM9 and AOKP before I start configuring everything for myself. I use third party launchers, Apex right now, sense makes no sense anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
I personally prefer cm9. Aero released a version with some linaro tweaks that make the from even faster.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] marcmarshall:
well i have the later firmware that comes with replacements from Vz. It appears I can't root unless I downgrade the bootloader and that seems to cause other e . Apparently this is only a problem with sense roms but I am going to wait for the expected ICS OTA this summer. What I want most is tethering and the ability to make Titanium and Nandroid backups. I have tethering so I can wait.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ginrue:
The MIUI is really cool right now. From before, the rom had some graphical glitches whenever i downloaded files from my school website. Its partially fixed. Overall, i dig it. I cant wait until all the bugs are fixed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomhurst:
My friend has an S2 he wants me to root, and I'm having trouble.

I've tried the one click method from windows computers though they don't seem to work as he is on ICS.

The ICS alternative says reboot to recovery etc, though obviously he doesn't have recovery so I can't do that either.

Of course I'm going to be told to root it via flashing, though while following the guide, the phone soft-bricked and wouldn't turn on (yellow triangle) though luckily I found the Orange UK Restore Package and now it's back to stock!

When I tried to flash it said use the most similar kernel you can find, and so I did, and it didn't work!

The kernel he has is I9100PBVLP6 and there was not an insecure kernel of that available.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Your friend has the UK Orange NFC phone. Use LP7 Insecure kernel.

http://download.chainfire.eu/158/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip?retrieve_file=1

You will have the yellow triangle after flashing and your binary flash counter would have increased by 1.

You can use triangle away to remove the symbol and reset the flash counter to zero.

Or have a look at the Root/Unroot guide in my signature.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
If your friend now doesn't want you to go to near his phone, let him root it himself or live with it the way it is.

Statements like "he obviously doesn't have recovery" when he obviously does lead me to believe you'll only damage his phone anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomhurst:
So I just flash this under PDA? Will this give just root and no recovery?

Why does he obviously have recovery? His phone is exactly how he got it. Unless they give you recovery now? I used to have a Spica (piece of crap) which I had to root in order to get recovery onto it. And he has no idea how to root and his phone is being slow and crashes a lot, so he wants to make it better, I told him a custom ROM would help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
All new or old S2s should have recovery albeit stock 3e recovery," if they have not installed another recovery ". Try it!

Power down. Then at the same time press:- volume up/home button/power button.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Head over to here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1#regiona, & find the specific firmware for your friends device & flash in PDA via Odin! (no need to find a seperate kernel to flash, as it will be included in the official firmware package!)

At this point you'll have no yellow triangle on your boot up splash screen, & no flash count!

Then head over to here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 & root the device using the instructions given! (you'll need an external sd-card in your device to put the files on for rooting!)

Still no yellow triangle on boot splash screen, & also no extra flash count!

Finally, install Triangle Away from here "IF NEEDED": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway&hl=en, & "MAKE SURE" it gives the exact same flash count number as is in download mode, then click "Reset Counter".

Job done, official stock firmware with root (fast, stable & reliable!) with no yellow triangle or flash count visible! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
What Samsung official firmware site? Even if such a thing existed why would the custom binary counter go up? Think about it. Also, OP already made it clear he's incapable of following those root instructions, as he apparently (and obviously) doesn't have recovery.
