[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
I put one on after I got scratches! And no I did not mistreat my phone, I paid like 7dollars for 3, and it feels like the regular screen,I know some protectors are thick and your finger sticks when using, and looks orange pealy I don't like that even though it's more protection I think it destroys the look and feel of the screen

I always use a Screenprotector with new Phones just until I got "used" to how it fits in my hands. Then, I remove it as soon as it gets ugly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
screen protector + flip case. i can be quite careless, and drop tests on youtube show that the s3 is actually not very durable
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
After I was told how resistant the S1 is and noticed how annoying screen protectors were on my antique HTC smartphone I never used a screen protector on the S1 nor on the S3. In 2 years never had a scratch on the S1. So either I was lucky or it really is resistant. I hope the S3 is too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggydabbydo:
Yes, I do use a screen protector, just in case.

I do use a screen protector (and a case). Extra protection is always good imv.

Hi. I am having a annoying problem with my external sd card. It's a 32 GB sd card. When I put movies on it, or transfer movies to it, they won't work or no longer work. But if I put the movie right on my phone they work. I have tried formatting the card but it is still not working. I just have no idea why it is doing this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
1-wrong forum

but...

2-which file system on your SDcard: FAT32 or exFAT?

3-size of the file you want to move on your SDcard?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kent Melton:
Sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by number 2. The movies are about 700Mb.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
for some 700Mb files, FAT32 or exFAT do not matter so forgot that question...

Maybe a rom issue if you are not on stock rom...

Only with video files or also with other file like mp3?

Oh. Ya, I'm on stock unrooted. It will only do this with videos.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
I have a few spots on the top of my screen and they appear to be getting worse with use? Is it OK to RMA for any light bleed?

What is tech support'a view on this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exino:
I'd say RMA it. Any light bleed = too much light bleed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
Agreed. The one I have doesn't seem to have any noticeable light bleed.

This is a good example of really bad light bleed
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtalum:
Anything greater than zero is too much. Mine has no bleed at all, even when turned up to full brightness in a dark room.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exino:
My returned unit is similar to the picture posted above. I have my 4th unit awaiting pick-up today from Future Shop...hopefully the 4th time is a charm...

The best way I've found to check for bleed is go into your options, display/brightness, turn off automatic adjustment, and set it to 0% brightness. It'll be obvious if you have any issues then. At 100% it's unnoticeable as it is flooding the screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Most all devices will have some light bleed from the edge of the screen IF you turn the device at a steep angle and are in a dark place. Anything more then this or any noticeable bleeding looking directly at the device is way way too much..

Just my opinion .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcadamry:
Hey guys I'm coming from a windows background.

When I run utorrent on the pc I sometimes set the cpu priority on the client to 'high'.

This is for multitasking while downloading large data (my os hangs up on some common requests)

Ok.

My android has the same issue:

Whilst downloading large files (at times of high writing speed/heavy MBp/s) my os hangs up.

I know little of overclocking.. does it allow me to overclock just my Ttorrent app? Or something.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtbikerac:
I installed the gede rom a few weeks ago. I am having issues with charging my fire. Recently, I charged it all night, unplugged it, then didn't use my fire for a couple days. The kindle fire lost all of its charge while not being used. Then, while charging it back up, it would go from "charging" to "discharging", flipping back and forth, even though it was plugged in (this was being viewed through the settings).

Is this a common problem? Is there a fix? Would there be another rom that is more stable?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jji7skyline:
I have also found that the Fire loses charge very easily while on standby on all of the ROMS I've used it on.

I would shut down the Fire completely when storing it away.

Also, the discharging, charging bug is harmless as far as I know, it charges itself regardless of the charging, discharging status.

OC? or chainfire 3D? ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
cheers mate.

but I was thinking of something like tweaks or adreno libs or some sort of script or hardware acceleration or kernel stuff or... not chainfire or oc (overclocked to 980mhz, well it did make stuff a bit smoother but I can't keep it that high, phone will simply melt down, why should we even have to overclock, that just shows the weakness of the OS, 800mhz should be enough to process simple 2d stuff ) O_o

Something that could actually make a difference, I'm starting to get fed up with android, my ace originally runs at 800mhz but an iPhone 3gs runs at 600mhz and it doesn't lag as much (in fact it doesn't lag at all, it has less ram than ace)

thanks anyway ;)

___________________________________

Yep, but still the hardware on our ace isn't as shi* as you think I mean come on its 2d, I am not even on about 3d. There is gotta be a way. I ran a benchmark (quadrant) on cm9 2d was like 65 fps and on cm7 its like 35. wtf. but the 3d (the 3D graphics) is as smooth as hell. what kinda thing is this that can process 3d but not 2d.

cheers!!!!

Yep, but doesn't have any effect on 2d.

well I used to play games a lot I mean games like bia2 or nova even dead space, why can our ace process all these 3d stuff with no problem or with the least problems (i mean i wouldn't even expect ace to run dead space have you seen the graphics ??? ) but cant process simple 2d graphics.

I just wanna open up my app drawer and scroll between pages and have no lag i have tried different launchers (go, holo, qq ...) or the phone lags if I scroll down in the settings menu wtf there is literally nothing there but text and a black background.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123r4ka456:
well, here's my opinion about "our-mighty" lag problem.

1. android bellow 3.0(1.5 - 2.3.7) is not using hardware to render UI, it use software rendering instead, so this explain why iPhone 3G(128MB ram, 434Mhz ArmV6, PowerVR MBX<==same GPU as nokia N95) UI scrolling is waaayyy smoother than SGA. even galaxy note is doesnt as smooth as iPhone 3g.(stock GB firmware)

2. android 3.0 & 4.0 is render UI with GPU, BUT some kind of thread-that-response-for touch is not on the TOP PRIORITY, this explain why ICS is lag...specially for our device, and ICS from maclaw is still have some graphical glitches.

3. wanna smooth UI?? try JB alpha.....i think there is no solution for LAG, at least at the moment......

Does the JB alpha drain battry as fast as The ics ???? or its been fixed i was gonna try it but you know its alpha so thought may be later.

i'll give you a thank tomorrow i'm limited to 8 thanks a day What the actual Fuc*.

And to all the devs out there is there anyway to do this, and is there a way to make this bloody useless OS to use hardware to render UI.

and is cm9 or 10 ever actually gonna be official for ace ??? i don't think so!!! is it???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123r4ka456:
i think android wasnt that bad......well, compared to BB OS, and symbian :p

ICS alpha is not for daily use, at least, it will show you smoother UI, and you can wait for next release.

Go to settings > cyanogenmod settings > performance > scrolling cache

But there is not such an option available
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No cm7 will be the only cyanogenmod officially supported for ace.

About the lag, its because android gives more preference to multitasking. iOS gives touches the maximum amount of processing power needed, meaning other things slow down/close. Android doesn't, which is why we can multitask better than ios.

Google have tried to give touches more priority while keeping other processes alive.(project butter- jelly bean)

Thanks for the replys guys. Cheers !!!

I kinda found a solution. I tried almost al available home launchers

( go launcher ex performed really good) but....the only ones that are truely lagfree and didn't lag at all ( literally no lags and absolute smoothness) are spb shell and tsf shell I dunno how they do it but whatever it is it works now the problem here is that they don't look good at all and they don't seem like proper launcher. And not customizable in fact no settings at all O_o

Could someone do a favour to millions of people and build a proper home launcher. Please?!

Or do we have to change to ios or pay for an android phone that's like 600 quid.

Dude, ios 5 is laggy too, the multitasking isn't real. My ace is very smooth running the official cm7 stable

Cheers bro !!! You speak English perfectly fine.

Ios 5 doesn't seem so laggy. And I don't care about multi tasking as much as i care about performance. I have already tried that launcher it is cool special opening/closing app drawer animation. But still lags.

What I mean by lagfree...just try spb shell or tsf shell and you will get it.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
Cheers bro!!!

But I know that much. These are no way the solution to our problem. The whole point about the thread is why do I have to over clock to get some simple 2d stuff work smoother. So basically our favorite OS ( at least it's my favorite) has a big faulty and is not performing the way it should be, it is said that in the new version of android with butter project has changed the UI experience. But 1% of android devices are running JB. So what about us??? There is surely a solution to this. One that I found was two home launchers named spb shell and tsf shell these two launchers seem to have a smarter kernel and performe unbelievably smooth. I experienced no lag under any circumstances whether there were other apps running in the background or there was too much pressure on the device It would not lag at all.

Now the bad thing about these two apps is 1.they use quite alot of mem(compared to other home apps) which is not a problem to me I rather performance than having some free mem that Is not being used anyway 2. You get no options for user interface. Can't do much in it. Its just what it is

So what we need Is a truely smart home app that could perform like those two and have more options like I dunno...change the animations or theme or speed or blah blah blah. It is really demanded honestly guys I haven't bought a single app (shame I'm on me) I have always downloaded them from some site but if somebody makes something like that I would actually pay for it. (seriously)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
I think 2D graphics are mostly rendered with CPU.

So overclocking is a solution.

And if you want less lags, check if you have enough free ram and look at what all background processes are running..

And wait for official cyanogenmod to become more stable or use unofficial ports! My friends Official CM for Galaxy Mini is way smoother than mine!

Cheers bro !!! See that's the problem. And I think those two apps I have mentioned above somehow use hardware acceleration. I don't think there is a way to force hardware acceleration in GB well I'm not a dev or an expert but logically that sounds like a lot of work. However I believe only impossible is impossible and that is worth doing cause even GB isn't that outdated and most android users out there are all running GB.

Actually let me get this as straight as possible okay!!!

Look, I used to own a lg optimus gt540. now you can check the specifications here http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_gt540_optimus-3081.php. that phone doesn't even have a gpu and the cpu originally runs at 600mhz (I could over clock to 990mhz lol). Basically I had to over clock from 600 to 800 (+200) to get that smoothness now that I own a ace which is a hundred times better (its got gpu and cpu originally runs at 800mhz) I still have to over clock by nearly the same frequency of 200mhz to get that smoothness wtf. what the blue heck is the point of buying a better phone when you are gonna have to overclock anyway. I still have to overclock. basically that phone would have been running smoothly at 800mhz But this phone that is shipped with a 800mhz processor won't.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123r4ka456:
LG GT540 have dedicated GPU, its same as SGA GPU, because LG use same chipset(MSM 7227), i still dont get it, why galaxy ace is so slow while render UI. well, maclaw stated in CM9 thread, that galaxy ace RAM is slow, maybe this was the root of our "mighty-lag" problem.

if android DOES render UI with CPU, make sense if galaxy mini have faster UI than galaxy ace. because galaxy mini CPU handle less pixel even it has lower clock speed(remember when you play pc games with high resolution? try lower resolution and you gain some fps).

here's my stupid math about CPU & pixel

galaxy mini 240x320=76800pixel total. handled by 600Mhz CPU, so 76800 / 600Mhz = 128 (every 1Mhz will handle render of 128pixel)

galaxy ace 320x480=153600pixel total. handled by 800Mhz CPU, so 153600 / 800Mhz = 192 (every 1Mhz will handle render of 192pixel)

get it??lesser pixel mean faster render

even Galaxy ace OC'd @ 960Mhz still cant match galaxy mini UI rendering speed.(LOL) *based on my "stupid" calculation

long time ago, there's guy called

coolya

(koolja dumman) that promised official CM7 for galaxy ace. well....i dunno where is he now.....his account seems doesnt have recent activity for few month, only being a silent reader.....well.....who knows???
