Micromedex is the slowest.. the response time and stutters remind me of pentium II days...its a medical app containing a good offline database of various drugs,their class usage dosage contraindications adverse effects etc...anybody related to medical field should check it out..it has a decent database but the guy who wrote the app should be shot :p

You have to get past the first level:

That's when it kicks in.

:)

No, but seriously: maybe the apk I used had a memory leak.

I'm guessing that, because, the longer I played, the slower it got, and for a while, it was so slow it was like playing in God mode or something, because you could avoid every bullet like Neo, but then it would just slow to a halt and basically crash.

On stock TouchWiz, XDA Premium would get painful to use on my GS3. The scrolling was choppy, and the app got unresponsive. Once I flashed CM10, those problems were gone. Now, XDA Premium performs just like you'd expect. The only times it's slow for me now is when my Internet connection is bad.

Concurred!

I have the exact same problem with mslug3. there is inexplicable slowdown at numerous points in each stage ( usually towards the end of one) but the spots arent the same everytime! the 1st stage boss prolly slows to 3 frames a sec 95% of the time but a couple times it was playable. (10fps?) but when its doing normal its super smooth 60fps. im guessing it has to do with how your device handles virtual memory. im about to look for my dropboxed gl tools and install/run & see if its perhaps a gpu processing culprit as well. at leaat now i know its not just me. my tablet's got some formiddable muscle power; quad core tegra 3's @ 1 . 3 ghz a piece. its a hisense sero 7 pro. comparable power to first gen nexus 7's however, 1gb of ram may not cut it for mslug. blazing star runs perfect the whole game but it's nowhere long a game as mslug 3 is nor as hefty in MB. hmm curiouser and curiouser... no fug it.

its gotta be to do with virtual memory and the app data size and me only having 1mb of ram. u know, it be nice if theyd stop milking their fellow mankind with slowly trickling out technology to us all and get some stuff all at once a few times cuz in 10 years will feel so dumb for using tablets/mobile devices that were incapable of upgrading its ram size. when a user opens his pc for his first time ever its usually to add more ram. same should go for tablets and smart phones.

[General Accessories] frankd9147:
I'm looking for a good quality multipoint Bluetooth headset, I've tried two different ones so far and have not been pleased with the results, A Blueant Q2 and a SoundID 510.

The Blueant would only let you use voice commands on the 1st phone that it connects to at that session, sometimes it was one phone, sometimes another, highly annoying. Even when it was connecting to the right phone the only way I could use the phones built in voice dialer was by pressing the side button, waiting for the prompt then having to speak "Phone Command", then I was taken to the phone's own voice control, and I would have to do this every single time. and if that was not bad enough, the headset would always take over the phone's audio, I connect to my car stereo via a line connected to the headphone jack, but when I connected with the headset it would disable the headphones and output to the headset even after I disabled it in the phone settings. Returned.

The SoundID was even worse, most of the time it would not even let me get to any phone's voice commands after having paired a second phone. When it does go to voice commands it says "Siri" every time :mad: , I hate Crapple, deal breaker. I didn't use it enough to check out the rest. Returned.

I just want a headset that can do the following:

Connect to 2 devices, one of which will be answer only.

Have one button access to voice commands and always have it go to the same phone, regardless of which one connects first.

No ADP audio, or have it easily disabled in the hardware.

Hard Switch (No hold down talk button for X amount of seconds to turn on/off)

Comfortable and easy to put on (no over the ear) would also be nice.

Under $100

Does anything like this exist? I do not want to have to navigate a menu to get my phone to call someone, I just want to push a button once and know its always going to the right phone.

The Jelly Bean search app won't let me open its search results in multiple Chrome tabs, am I the only one annoyed by this? Is there any way to tweak this, so that long pressing gives me this feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redwoodflyer:
I'm surprised at the lack of complaints about this. It's happening with any browser.

I tend to search for something (I.e. "canon lens advice") and open multiple links from the results in multiple tabs. Since 4/5ths of Google results seem to not answer my question, this allows me to quickly skim and move on to the next result.

In jellybean I have to hit the back button, remember which links I already clicked on, click the next one, wait for it to load in chrome (whereas before it would background load while I skimmed another result), and repeat the whole thing until I find what I want.

Also JB seems to have removed the feature where you could click the arrow facing northwest on a search entry auto complete suggestion, so that you could modify just one word at the end.

Any suggestions on workarounds? Thanks!
[HTC One X] oliseo:
Hi,

I am on my 5th HTC One X, in 30 days. This one is Grey, the previous 2 were white, and the 2 before that were Grey.

My 1st (Grey) return was a faulty digitizer. My 2nd (Grey) was very minor (LED not aligned). My 3rd (White) was screen flex and creaking. My 4th (White) was creaking and signal. My 5th (Grey) seems fine.

I've noticed that the grey ones seem a lot more sturdy than the white ones. They also seem to have better signal (3G, Wifi) capabilities. Now, my sample was only small, and it was in the UK, and from one supplier.

I'd like to see if there is a correlation between the colour of the HTC One X, and the build quality.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
If you look at the tear down pics, the phone's internals are all a single integral unit. They get put in a body toward the end of assembly. The way they're built, any "phone" could end up in any color "body." I'm sure whatever process HTC uses to attach the antennas and other parts to a body, no matter what color it is, is the same. So it's unlikely that the color of the case has anything to do with an individual phone's performance.
[HTC One X] oliseo:
That's not my experience. Hence why I asked the question. To see if my experience was unique or more widespread.

The issues with the white cases was that the screens were ill fitting, and they creaked.

It could be that the white colouring used is effecting the plastic more than the grey colour.

As I stated, in my experience the colour certainly did make a difference. Not one of the grey ones I had suffered any creaking, what-so-ever. yet both of the white ones did.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
By now, after being on the market for five months, there's several hundred thousand One X's in the wild. On the forum there are pages of discussion of China vs. Taiwan builds, whether early builds are better than later builds, and whether phones sold in different regions have different levels of problems. A lot of people have also swapped from white to gray phones and vice versa. If something as obvious as "grey phones are built better" was true, it would have come up on its own. And it’s not like people on the forum aren’t examining their phones closely.

Do you think someone with a working grey device would see its performance change if they bought this off of eBay and changed the color of their phone?

By the way, a bunch of people have bought replacement covers off of eBay and put them on their phones themselves. Quite a few people have also opened up their phones to self-repair the Wi-Fi h/w issue rather than waiting on HTC. Nothing odd was reported. By all means do carry on, but it's doubtful a trend's going to arise if it hasn't already.

[HTC One X] Timewise:
Your experience and assumption are based on a sample of 5 phones. The only way you can draw a definite conclusion is by using statistical analysis, which requires the sample being used to be much larger. The experience you had is not significant enough to generalize it towards all HOX phones.

So I'm sure most of you are aware of this whole AT&T Data Sharing thats coming out near the end of august. I was just doing some math on the whole thing and had it confirmed by a representative on the phone...turns out, it makes no sense. Shocking.

For a family of 5 such as my situation, we have 4 smart phones and 1 non-smartphone.

As the charts shows (which I cant post since Im too new), it breaks down like this...

4GB

$70 base price

$40 / smartphone

$30 / normal phone

------------

$54 / smartphone

$44 / normal phone

6GB

$90 base price

$35 / smartphone

$30 / normal phone

-----------

$53 / smartphone

$48 / normal phone

10GB

$120 base price

$30 / smartphone

$30 / normal phone

-----------

$54 / smartphone

$54 / normal phone

Past that point it actually starts making sense and getting more expensive, but as you can see, why settle for less unless your the guy with a non-smartphone who gets screwed.

[Networking] Apex:
I'm not trying to gloat here, but this just makes my decision to add the 'unlimited data' package to my service, of which is no longer available for purchase, a notably smart one. Thank goodness for "grandfathered" things, such as is mine. Albeit, knowing AT&T's business practices, they'll probably figure a way to forcibly get me to buy into a data package eventually. But, for now, the thirty dollars is well worth it. However, I have heard rumors of AT&T throttling down bandwidth once users such as myself reach a certain monthly data usage amount.
[Networking] lostchopstik:
For sure, I'm jealous of my friends who still rock unlimited data since I got in the smartphone game a little late.

I guess the good part of these shared plans is unlimited calling is included.
[Networking] tacarat:
But does the shoe fit?

Run the numbers. It's not really made to reduce anybody's bill, but to add flexibility. Everybody on the new plan gets tethering, unlimited domestic minutes and texts. I'm curious to see how employer discounts will be affected. I'm a veteran and get a 15% discount off some parts on my plan. If it works out for me, great. If not, I'll stick with my current setup.
[Networking] texasman420:

Please don't eat me alive for asking something that's already in these forums. The problem is I've seen several guides in different forums (WP7, Android SD, Android NAND) and these are usually old threads in old stickies. I was wondering if there was an updated, moar better guide that would make the process either easier to follow or provide other benefits that were not available when these were first created.

By the way, I have followed these in the past and used to have WP7 on NAND and several Android builds on SD, but it's been a while now and don't really remember much of it.

Thank you.

P.S. If this happens to belong in the General section, by all means please move it there. I wasn't sure.
