I've owned 3 iPhones and an iPad and I've never had 100% guaranteed perfect smoothness. Something always stutters. Whether it's the search bar in iOS, the home screen on android, the lock screen pin number on iOS. Everything lags. Software and hardware and corporate greed will never be on the same level, so we will never be in an optimal situation.

If Apple can't get my new iMac and and Lion to run everything perfectly smooth, I don't expect any other devices to behave any better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I refuse to use Chrome.

It's buggy and a memory hog and worlds behind the desktop version.

No browser I feel has a candle on Dolphin HD personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donniestarko:
I have not noticed any lag on the phone at all or even in the keyboard. A huge plus would be in 4.1.1 the live wallpapers don't lag the phone out, which I'm very impressed by.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The irony is that you have a recolored Chrome icon for an avatar :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllenConder:
I traded my 4S for my GNex and even though many things run smoother on iOS using the 4S, the amount of improvement Google has done since Honeycomb is outstanding, and every update has narrowed the gap between the two.

I remember having my iPhone 4 at the mall with my dad walking into a store and grabbing a HC tablet talking trash about how laggy GB was (not knowing or have used 3.x) and scrolling and using it made me look foolish, with my dad who responded with "Looks pretty great to me" lmao

Im on 4.1.1 and i notice "butter". ICS and HC pushed Android past the (imho) ugliness of pre 3.0 Android. But JB is really copying iOS "polish".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Haha, I love Chrome on desktop, hence the icon but Chrome on Android kills me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Oh come on, are you saying only Apple can have a smooth OS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
NOTHING is 100% smooth. Welcome to 2012.

We're talking about the smoothER platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllenConder:
No, I'm saying I thought iOS was always smoother then Android. Until the improved accelerated graphics in HC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
Guys there is a lag in some app but most of the time its related to loading data ...

1. Someone mentioned Google plus. There are two occasions where you can notice lag. When scrolling through stream and this is due to your phone loading images from network hence some stutter. And second is when someone uses a lot of text formatting in the post. Best example is the recent cyanogen post shown on the picture below

2. Xda ... same as Google plus photos are not preloaded so there will be some stutter.

If any other app lags than its poorly design
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anupash:
I don't think Jelly Bean lags, stutters in any way for stock apps. Only the third party apps particularly the XDA app lag horrendously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anupash:
No even without the avatars and no images in the thread the XDA is not smooth to scroll.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
the keyboard definitely lags a lil from time to time, i set in the android keyboard settings->advanced settings->key popup dismiss delay to "No delay" instead of default, and i have a feeling the keyboard is more responsive. maybe it's a placebo effect, maybe it's not , try it out urself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Camazza:
The experience has been perfect so far for me. When I had to go back to stock 4.0.4 to wait for the OTA it was a real pain, everything seemed so old! That's the difference between Android and iOS, Android manages to make every new version a giant leap forward (even "minor" releases like JB) while you could reinstall iOS 1.0 on an iPhone 4s (hypothetically of course - it's not really possible) and get "more-or-less" the same user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iBustCh3rries:
iOS is still trying to catch up with simple features... and proof of this is the fact that as soon as a android phone comes out that has a feature remotely close to an iphone feature they call their lawyers. Mean while the notification center is all types of infringement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhwong:
feature-wise, android beats the living **** outa every other competitors imo.

smoothness-wise? ios beats the living **** outa everyone there.....

I think w8m has a good balance, looking forward to try it out sometimes.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
Hello all. I recently installed MarketEnabler on my Galaxy Nexus to be able to install Google Wallet. I set it to use US T-Mobile and then once I was done setting up Google Wallet, I hit the Restore option to go back to Bell Canada. I then uninstalled the app and now, when I go onto the Play Store, it says my carrier is T-Mobile. I've tried to enter the Bell Mobility code and then spoof it, tried clearing the data of the Play Store, etc. Any help with this? It's not really a big deal, but I was just wondering if it was possible to go back to Bell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Just reboot?

If that doesn't do it clear all Ur app store data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
I cleared the data and cache of all the Play Store apps (Music, Books, etc.) and rebooted. Still says my carrier is T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
For what it's worth, I even reverted back to a backup I made before I installed MarketEnabler and it still says T-Mobile as the carrier after I cleared both the cache and data from Play Store.

At the first time, i wanted to buy Samsung galaxy S2 but i have seen that there are some problem about firmware upgrade .

Thanks you :cyclops:

Irrespective of whichever part of the world you are only if the update is released for the country of mobile origin (in my case India) you can update

BTW i force updated my Lumia 800 to Tango using Zune

Im trying to understand the whole WP7 world as Im a newbie in this platform. :)

I have a HTC Trophy with Mango installed on it, and I need to jailbreak it so I can sideload free apps on it because the Market place is not available in my country yet :(

I can't find a clear tutorial or a clear guide on what I should do, and Im willing to provide any info on the phone. Just tell me what to do.

Thank you :)

First figure out what kind of bootrom you have and go from there

Most of the time it revolves around downgrading the bootrom

and unlocking the bootrom and after choosing a custom firmware

Help w/Verizon Trophy

Hey TheXev.

I think I've read your guide and every other guide there is on switching ROMs, DEV unlock and Interop unlocks, but I'm still too nervous to do any of it.

My problem is this:

I NEED my SMS messages exported/backed up.

The only option for doing that, is to install the SMS Backup homebrew app.

I do not know if there is an option for unlocking my phone with which I do not run the risk of losing this valuable data in the process.

Is there?

Is there even an option for a full phone backup without fully unlocking the phone? ...so that I would have that phone backup to restore in case my data is indeed lost when I unlock the phone?

Hello.

I've never done this before and could use some help. In the E-mail app that is in the phone from teh start you can choose "Microsoft exchange" or "Other".

Should I choose Exchange when setting up a Hotmail account?

I'm not really sure what Exchange is so I just wanted to be sure before I try it.

Thank you in advance.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gonzo0o:
Choose other for setting up hotmail, I don't even think it is possible to use exchange for setting up a hotmail:-P
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
Exchange is what is typically used in office enviroments. If you dont have any joy setting up hotmail in the email client, there is an official hotmail app in the google play store.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Kermit33:
I used exchange for setting up a hotmail account, but it will not keep incoming mails for long (only for 1-2 days). Maybe some setting is wrong with my set up.
[HTC One S] JohnHenrySDM:
I've successfully installed TrickDroid 6.1 and also the Tweaking software on my T-Mobile One S. At the very end the of the install instructions it says, "You can flash the stock kernel with the Boot Flash Script afterwards."

I've flashed many ROMs on other phones before but don't recall this step. Is it necessary? Right now the ROM works fine, but some of the tweaks (volume wake and Google Ears) do not. Thanks!
[HTC One S] glacierguy:
Idk about "have to" since torxx uses stock kernel... but I think he modifies it so I ALWAYS flash the boot.img that's packaged in the rom.zip
[HTC One S] baseballfanz:
I believed the Trickdroid 6.1 has an OC kernel built in.

So if the OC kernel is what you want don't have to do anything else.

If you want the stock kernel run the boot flash script
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedoe47:
Hey guys I recently bought a galaxy tab 2 (7 inch), it's great and all but whenever I launch google music, it crashes after playing music for a while or just browsing my albums. I tired updating the music app and even removing the update and I still get the same "Unfortunately Google Music has crashed" popup. Any help is appreciated, it should also be noted that I haven't got any mod or custom rom working; this is all out of the box.

*just did a factory reset and it worked again*
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Great information.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Proof of concept. :-)

For those, that can be unlocked. Flash 198_7 sbf, you can boot into it, do factory reset in recovery, flash Hybrid unlocking rom with twrp recovery sbf.

There is nothing to lose, at worst, you can reflash 198_7 sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
If no one wants to pony up Ill try this later.

So basicly someone with a new 2.3.5. updated system could create thier own sbf file so if they brick thier phone they could easily restore it to stock or whatever they created the sbf of. Is this correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes. This should be the main purpose. However I am not going to permanentely lock my phone, to try this. But from all my tests, I don´t see any reason, why this would not work. Electrify SBF is compiled from SMGs with signature version 2. OTA update bootloader and CDT.bin is version 2 signed too. For example, the main problem of pudding 2.3.5 is, that there is no pudding 2.3.5. It is Sunfire unlocked bootloader with version 1 signature, CG2.smg and CG39.smg with version 1 signature, CG3.smg and RDL3.smg with version 2 signature. It cannot be merged this way. RDL3 with version 2 most probably prevents flashing anything with version 1.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bdotr:
How could I make a custom SBF for recovering from a brick?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Wonder if this would help those guys trying to figure out that unlocked magic photon that guy has?

Also wonder if some of this could develop a method to get around the 4G lock somehow...

Good stuff thanks for the info..
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
The sbf would have to be done prior to the brick.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
How to recover system bricked 2.3.5 Photon? Someone should make SBF, test it and share.

I can make it and share, but I don't want to test it, because I am unlocked yet.

Ofcourse, there is still very low percent, that it won't boot, because no one tested that. But when it's not booting already, there is again nothing to lose.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I've been playing around with this but im in the same boat as you. Im not going to perm lock my phone just to test this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Did you successfully flashed your rom with rsd?

And it would be helpful, if someone running 2.3.5 from OTA update, would dumped all partitions and checked signature version of those.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
1st attempt resulted in a failure to boot 4. Things perhaps are a little different with a locked bootloader. That was with the required files you listed and the system dump from my phone. Perhaps things are a little different when dealing with a locked bootloader. Ill try some other combinations of files later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. Flashing process was without failing? Try to use some other SMGs like microboot... You flashed 198_7 sbf first and after that custom sbf. Right? Try to wipe before flashing. Check if your /pds is there still.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Yes the flash went fine. I was thinking the same thing about the microboot. I will have more time to play with this later im getting done working and am headed off to bed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. Let me know then. Have a nice sleep.

Edit: Or you can try it the opposite way and flash full 198_7, just with changed system. If it works, just take some smgs away, beginning with webtop, preinstall, cdrom, etc...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Any idea if it is possible to flash the radio from RSD? It looks to be in the format of amss_sec.mbn. I want to try and get the leaked 2.3.5 ROM and its radio working properly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am going to try sbf with just cg5 and rdl1 and flash in bp rsd mode. But I don't believe that much. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
No love here with the locked bootloader. Best I can tell (and from reading a little) the dump files and the smg files are not exactly the same. Therefore the locked bootloader is catching the system dump and then failing to boot giving a fail to boot 4 error. After some reading i might have an alternate method to try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Ok. I am not glad to hear this.

I would try some more locked flashing myself, I hate that I can't.

I suppose you tried full sbf, just with system changed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
In digging through all the RSD/SMG info for almost all the MotoDroid's, some of the partitions have pass a checksum. Partition dumps, formatting, bootstrap restore breaks the partition check. A good example is if you dump a bone stock osh partition and flash it back you get that boot 4 error. So you can manipulate files but the partition has to remain intact. You can bypass the check and load custom on some partitions by doing a recursive delete and file push via bootstrap but this takes forever (almost 45mins for webtop) and kind of defeats the goal of custom SBF's. It does however give some idea as to what to look for.

I found a list of how other moto's are setup a while back but can't find it. I'll keep looking.

EDIT:

Found one of the partition map lists. This should give you an idea as to what I'm rambling about.
