[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Sorry if I'm missing something, but how is this not drastically different?

Simple math would be

8.93 = 4.81 * 1.85

0.6 = 0.18 * 3.33 (most of us were getting 0.17, so even 3.5x times this speed)

How is this insignificant again? Some modern HDDs are getting around 1 MB/s random write, so 0.6 doesn't feel that bad at all when compared to your PC experience (unless on newer SSD).

Sequential read speed (30) and browser starting in 88 msec is quite a difference too.

And I do think Tegra is part of the bottleneck too (actually, we were discussing it many times already), some HTC One benchmarks show speed improvement with the Qualcomm chip, so hopefully new Infinity users will have a little better out-of-box experience than we do (although I have to admit it's not that bad after the update, but I'm still getting some crashes and kernel-panic-reboots situations with some frozen colours on part of the screen).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Fair enough. I was sort of thinking that too.

I guess its just a hunch or more subjective bias, because it always seems like every non-tegra device I have used lately is faster and more trouble free. After all slow SSD's have been around for a while. I don't think the SSD's in Windows based devices like the Viliv S5 and S7 were that fast, and yet they ran decently with Windows xp or windows 7. And I would assume that Android is much less demanding than Windows, so with a 1.7GHz quad core processor and recently manufactured memory it would seem like it should be a cakewalk for modern devices to perform acceptably.

Anyway, we'll see when the Qualcomm TF700 is benchmarked. Should answer a few questions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
When the prime first hit the market and people were experiencing the same I/O issues, wasn't it mentioned that the tegra uses some older method of information transfer or controllers? I don't remember what thread it was or which technical article I read. it was one reason why the qualcom chips are performing better in testing and regular use. Graphic performance was all tegra in the testing.

Anyone remember this or know more technical side of things with tegra?

----

Think I remember now. The tegra3 uses some method of information transfer carried over from the terga2 design. It was suspected this could be a factor in the bottleneck that occurs in the tablets.
[Asus Transformer TF700] yumms:
Slow I/O isn't Tegra3 related, here are benchmarks of Asus tablets compared to HTC One X, Asus is always at the bottom... http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...hmark-11-modern-devices-compared-in-13-tests/

Asus is clearly using cheap and slow components.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Issue may be flash drive according to this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/potential-io-bottleneck-fix-for-the-transformer-prime/
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Is it possible we're spending too much energy on benchmark results? In the real world, I'm generally not having major I/O issues. A number of apps are not optimised for the Infinity's high resolution. That's not Infinity's fault. Navigating Netflix is like swimming through molassas. I would love to overclock the gpu. Jellybean will probably add some performance improvement and if any dev is able to add linaro enhancements to ROM/Kernel, that would be fantastic. I think there is a lot that can be done with software, mostly on the custom software side, to really improve the Infinity experience.
[Galaxy S III General] PaulGG:
Hi Guys,

Just a word of warning, install Dolphin Browser (Beta) on my S3. Very quick all round, but I started to notice excessive battery drain in standby with screen off, 79% to 13% in 3 hours. Could not figure out what was causing the drain to start with, turns out it was Dolphin, screen and back really hot even in standby. Un installed dolphin as battery stat reported 49% battery drain, with only a few minutes on screen time, after install problem persisted. Had to do a factory reset which was a complete pain, but it cured it.

I would not have believed it, only I googled it and someone else had the same problem on a BB playbook, with side loaded Android apps.

Regards Paul.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
Ever since I started trying the various flavor of OTA ICS, I've noticed one very significant issue. My WiFi connection goes down during the night, and I don't get emails. I use "push" email, so there needs to be a network connection.

Yesterday, I updated to the latest release 4.03.605.2, and ran a test. I set one of my boxes to ping the phone every 5 minutes overnight. It turns out that the phone stopped responding at 12:15 AM, responded for 15 minutes at about 2:55 (when I woke up and checked the phone), stopped responding 15 minutes later, then started responding by itself at 7 AM. I have the screen lock timeout set for 15 minutes, so it appeared that there was some process which would shut down wifi between midnight and 7 AM, if the screen was locked.

That's just plain idiotic. After basic phone functions, email is the most important feature of a smartphone, and HTC made it utterly unreliable!

Quick Google search, and this is apparently a known issue on some HTC phones, although searching on this forum only shows a few mentions of similar wifi issues.

Here's a thread about this issue on the One X.

It appears there's a solution. Here's more info on the problem, and mention that there's a pay app, SmartSync Disabler in the Play Store. I plan to try this tonight to see if it works on the Rezound.

HTC owes me $1.77.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
I am assuming that you have played with the advanced wifi settings to keep wifi on during sleep?

settings>wifi then press menu button then advanced

I've also tried playing with the hidden power menu options but it caused my wifi not to turn back whenever I woke up the phone. Pain in the ass having to keep turning it back on all the time.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Yeah, um. Easily corrected.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Someone offered their help, and he was an ass about it. He loses.

BTW I thanked you by accident :silly:

[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
Post a screen shot of your WiFi advance settings just for the hell of it. All android phones(ones i had) keep WiFi on after the screen is locked/off (Always ON) by default.

If you have already tried this then..... Kernel & kernel Modules control Wifi functions so maybe try going back to gingerbread and checking if the problem persist. If not then ICS don't likey you phone.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
For those who can't be bothered to read the linked threads, this issue is related to a new "feature" HTC has added to ICS, called "SmartSync." It only has effect from midnight to 7 AM local time. During that time, this untenable feature will disable data connections. Waking up your phone will cause it to reconnect, but 15 minutes after the screen goes off, it will disconnect again. Some people have reported that it doesn't happen if you have the charger connected.

There's a reason the app I linked to in the OP exists, it's because this issue can't be resolved by changing any of the provided settings. Here's another app which tries to fix it in a different way.

It makes no difference if you have set WiFi to "always on," it still turns it off. If you use push email or messaging (like GTalk), you won't get messages during the night, unless you wake the phone yourself. It's also not just WiFi - if it were, you'd get push emails through 3G/4G, but they simply don't come through.

Here are some more threads:

HTC Incredible wifi sleep.

One S not receiving push email

One X

Evo 4G push notifications don't work

Evo 4G

Apparently, the idiots at HTC believe that no one might be sent important emails from 12-7AM, and that no one works third shift. They broke ICS with this stupid, undocumented, unconfigurable change which turns a decent phone into a piece of crap.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
FYI, ViperRez has the option to disable SmartSync. Haven't seen it in any other roms, but to be fair I haven't run any other Sense roms for any length of time.
[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
This is a sense 4 feature supposedly so if it's such a big issue ... Then don't use a sense 4 Rom....

If you get one of the disabler apps working then score one for you.

Unfortunately, I forgot that I lose root when I update using SEUS & I updated to 4.1.0.B.587 & lost root. I've heard that root will still work with the newest version, but I need the .587 kernel. Where can I download the kernel itself?

Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billford:
I went back to GB, 2.3.6, used this as a guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785672

You also have to install FOTAkill.apk before the phone connects to the network, to prevent the phone from downloading and nag you to install ICS and JB.

The end result of going back to GB, is a fast, no frills phone with very good battery life.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Your welcome btw....

Are they pop ups that keep opening tabs? If so make sure you have a pop up blocker on. Or stop looking at porn on your phone (jk), I gotta have a some of humor here.

If that's not it then stop opening so many tabs on top of each other, learn to close stuff when you done. It's a pretty easy practice to do. And I'm not trying to be a **** about it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
The best you can do is select the pop-up blocker in the settings; there is no 'limit number of tabs to x' feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stu5797:
I don't know what i am doing. Seems like i just cleared all tabs and now somehow i have 8 open. I have popups blocked. I need to be more careful

u could always use the stock browser

Tabs are limited to ten or something. On that note isn't there an easter egg in chrome when ur tabs reach 100? Could always shoot for that

Good pics too, pocketability is important to me and that one looks pretty good, certainly less bulky than the one I'm currently using.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
This case is extremely pocketable. Very thin and nice to carry.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
Update: in the review I mentioned that the weak magnets have a hard time keeping the cover folded as a stand. As I have continued to break in the case this issue has resolved itself. The case is getting better each day. Traveled with it all day and I am so glad I bought it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Huey85:
thanks for the review mate - glad I actually ordered one; waiting for it to arrive today or tomorrow :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] wyrethewolf:
Ordered the same case from a different seller... I love the case. I noticed the same weakness in the magnet... As the case flap loosened up it got better.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BangDK:
Great review! Could you post a pic where the case is folded all the way back? (with the leather folding behind the plastic casing if you know what i mean)

I like to "tighten" it when i'm having in it my hands, but i'm not sure whether the "flap" is going to be annoying here.

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
please note the location of the magnets behind the screen sensor. Even in this position with TWO sets of magnets behind the sensor the screen does not turn itself off!

As requested. It does not bother me. Normally I make 2 folds to keep the cover under the case. Sorry for the low quality pics and bad lighting. I am traveling for work and am in a hotel.

**update** I wanted to make note that as I continue to use this case the folds continue to get tighter and the case will lie more flat against the backing when folded. That is a good thing, not that it was ever thick it just makes it more comfortable to hold.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BangDK:
Thanks, i was wondering if it was going to be a problem, couldn't find pictures anywhere else. Thanks, will go buy one right away :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] heyodee:
Received mine today. For the price, it's a good bargain.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Silverbrain:
Really nice review and pics, I am digging the thin-ness of it
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Xenocide23:
Looks like a decent case. Too bad the seller raised their prices. If this was around 10 or 11 bucks I would probably order one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] micks_address:
does the case protect the nexus completely - is the bezel fully covered when the case is closed?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
Please look at the pics and the description in the first post. No the bezel is not completely covered by the case backing, however it is covered when the cover is closed. My case is completely back so the silver you see is the actual nexus 7 bezel. I posted pics above. I am liking this case more and more as it breaks in. It protects the nexus 7 very well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ericcorp:
I have it in red but I'm also getting the Poetic case. I'll sell this one to you for twelve bucks shipped since I can't return it on eBay. Let me know if you want it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
Wow selling it before you get the poetic case... someone has high hopes for a case that was recalled on the first shipment. :p Just kidding. What don't you like about it? Please explain so we are all aware.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Huey85:
Okay so I've had mine for about a day now and I can proudly say that I'm very happy with it and glad that I waited out for a couple of weeks for it to become available.

Works very well and I love the minimalistic design. Looks great in gray too.. Thinking of grabbing another one in blue or purple to interchange the colours. Couple of pics below..

For just under $15, this case is a real bargain. Much prefer this style over the leather folio cases that are out in the market at the moment.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] micks_address:
With the cover closed would the corners of the bezel be protected if you dropped it from say the couch/sofa? Also if its closed would it be safe enough in your coat pocket?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Huey85:
Yep it should be enough protection if dropped from a couch/sofa as the back casing covers the lower portion of the front bezel - it's only the top portion of the front bezel which is not fully covered. Also the front flap would help to create a bit of cushioning for the front bezel too, if it were dropped from that height. And yes, I would say it's safe enough in a coat pocket when closed.

[HTC EVO 3D] KTMrider79:
So Sprint finally said there was a system update to ICS so I downloaded it and installed and it instantly popped up an error, didn't have any words it was just a picture of the guy with the warning sign. So I waited and it never did anything. I figured I would clear everything/factory reset and see if that fixed it. Nope. Even moreso, it wouldn't let me install any other ROM either. I did enough superwipes and stuff that I finally got the stock ROM to work so I'm back where I started.. One clue might be that I cannot seem to clear the sd-ext, it gives me an error there.

With it back in working order, if I don't clear anything and just try and install ICS from bootloader, what I show in the pic is what happens.

The last part about the E:error in sd card is what I was getting when all the other ROM's were screwing up.
[HTC EVO 3D] bayp4amd:
Maybe bad sdcard
[HTC EVO 3D] KTMrider79:
I don't see how when it works fine now. It's like something is messing with it but I have no clue what.

[HTC EVO 3D] KTMrider79:
I am not the greatest with these things. You are saying I need to unroot my phone for this to work? And I need to somehow get rid of the revolutionary recovery thing? I don't know what OTA means but I can see it's part of the file name. Is there a non-OTA version of it that I can use? For some reason a lot of ROM's don't work. I have hboot 1.5 with s-on and cynogenmod and a lot of ICS ROM's just hang on the HTC screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You don't need to unroot, but you need to lock your bootloader and get the stock recovery back to take the OTA. The easiest way to upgrade to ICS without doing all that is to flash the new firmware, then flash a stock rooted rom if you want to stay on the stock rom.

Over The Air, i.e. the update that Sprint sends out.

Upgrade firmware through bootloader, then flash a stock rooted rom or a custom rom based on ICS. If you want to use the new kernel, you will have to upgrade hboot as well, or you can keep your current hboot and use the VM leak kernel.

Could be a number of reasons, you need the new firmware to run an ICS rom, and you need the new hboot if those roms use the new kernel.

You can't flash kernels with s-on, so you will need to get s-off before you want to use an ICS rom.

The Problem:

I tried to take the crappy amazon software that only works in the US off this kindle fire, Installed JandyKane and Gapps with no problems (i cleared dalvik cache, regular cache, and factory reset) Also installed Clockwork Recovery (which i read somewhere that might have been the problem).

(note: I used the KF utility)

Now when i turn the device on, it shows the Kindle fire logo for a second or two, then a bunch of triangles float on the screen forever and nothing happens.

Ive tried a few unbrick utilities but it keeps saying it cant find the device. Im having troubles booting into recovery mode. (the utility says device not found)

This isnt even my Kindle Fire and its causing me so many problems >.>
