[HTC Desire S] maxlieb:
If I'm correct there is also Webkit Hw acceleration which

cannot be enabled on ICS roms without some additional work on the

recently released kernel source.

also there are a lots of alternative browsers.

For Example:

Dolphin... ( especially the beta which is VERY fast)...

Opera.. Maxthon...

I Don't even use the stock one
[HTC Desire S] poled:
Tried that setup and better than ics but still worse than gingerbread. Hope this week's kernel gives a clue to fix that
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Its a common ICS problem. Its one of the things Google fixed in JB. No kernel or such will address this issues AFAIK. Sense ROms are already using the official kernel.

Try loading dailymail.co.uk on ICS, it will always lag. But on JB it is smooth. The same also applies to my Tab, so I don't think its a ds issue
[HTC Desire S] poled:
Seems it's about the opengl rendering enabled, tiles rendering etc in Android >=3 You can type about:debug in the url bar, then in options go to debug and uncheck enable opengl rendering. That will make the browser to behave like a gingerbread browser

The opengl gives smoothness on scrolling or zooming, but at the same time I think I browse faster with it disabled. Maybe out gpu is not fast enough?

Give it a try and comment...

Still slow with jb?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] raclimja:
i own alot of phones and the most recent one that i have is the Samsung Galaxy SIII (US Version)

the phones that i have owned in the past are

-Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (arguably the best sounding phone with voodoo but very poor performance, poor battery life)

-Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G(not as good sound quality as Fascinate, poor performance, poor battery life, poor display)

-Motorola Droid x2(crap display, poor sound quality)

-Motorola Droid Razr(Crap Display=pixelated and over saturated colors)

-Samsung Galaxy SIII US Cellular (poor sound quality "apparently, there is a design fault on all US variant of this phone and that you could hear a hissing/static noise when listening to music", poor built quality "if you drop it even at 3ft, the screen would shatter. alot of people have this problem)

righ now, my highest priority would be (A-highest. D-lowest)

A-Sound Quality

B-Performance

C-Display

D-Battery life

i look around and it appears that the LG optimus G2x is the highest performance phone that has Wolfson WM8994 and is supported by Voodoo sound

now my question would be, does:

-LG optimus G2x suffer from any hissing/static noise?

-have good battery life?

-it suffer from overheating and random crashes?

if i do get this phone, i am thinking of installing the ROM called "HellFire Phoenix V2.3", the kernel "[Kernel]G2x-CM7[2.6.32.59]" and the CM7 camera driver?

since my priority is sound quality, if i do install all those mods, will Voodoo sound still work?

also i hear that ICS/CM9 is just around the corner, would Voodoo sound still work?

thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
A- Depends on if you are talking about headphone jack or speakers. If you ask me, the speakers suck. It can't reproduce bass very well but that is to be expected from small small speakers. On the other hand it can reproduce the higher frequencies decently, I'd say from the 7000hz+.

B- Performance wise I think it does pretty well. Do note though I jump around from 1ghz to 1.55ghz knowing which apps need more processor power. Also another note. If you are a power user like myself, playing games, using gps maps, music camera so on and so fourth and don't close them or exit out of them, you may have experience lots of slow down because you will run out of ram with the 512mb which is reduced down to about 300 because of the OS.

C- Nothing to complain about. Display is pretty good in my opinion. As for resistance to cracking or scratching I have no clue because I've only dropped my phone once from about 3-4feet throughout my 1 year of ownership.

D- I get between 14-26 hours of battery life. It depends on how I use it that day but most of the time when I use it I check e-mail, sites, play a little games, use the gps for directions and I get 14 hours.

- If you do use the ICS that we currently have now with the new baseband, there is a glitch but it is fixable by owin's patch(I think correct me if I'm wrong) Otherwise if you are using GB then there is no sound glitches in calls.

- Answered earlier.

-The phone does have an overheating issue. However if you keep it at 1Ghz and don't play lots of games all in one go, you should be fine. Also there has been cases where this phone will overheat while charging. I myself no longer have this problem while charging since I use a 3rd party charger but many have claimed this. As for the crashes this really depends on which android version you are using. In my experience with Eaglesblood GB, It was fairly stable with occasional crashes. However when I'm using Cyanogenmod 7 only I only crash if it overheats from using it too long at 1.55Ghz.

Hope this helps.

My experience... No way in h#LL should you get a g2x coming from a sgsIII. id happily trade you this g2x if you feel it's more what your looking for. I like the phone for the "potential" it has but that's beating a dead horse. We all know the capabilities of this phone but without lg/nvidia cooperation it's a half broken device.

Galaxy s 3 looks like a toy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aricrj:
The g2x is a great phone despite the ics driver dispute. No hissing sounds and great sound quality with Dsp manager. I'm using temasek's cm7 rom with tweaked build.prop and I'm getting amazing battery life. I don't overclock my device so I dont experience any over heating either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
Just tested out that voodoo app on my g2x for you and it works without a hitch. Was able to get an amp of +5 on hardware amp and sounds just great on my soundblaster tactic 3d headphones(which requires an amp to use to full potential).

Actually never mind it was up to a -3db amp for headphones. Seems like a +5db for speakers.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] airnique23:
Actually, I'd have to say that the 2.3.4 OS and baseband update solved alot of issues with the G2x. And IMO, it's build quality is superior to anything that Samsung has out. Very sturdy phone, doesnt feel like a toy/paper weight, it actually feels like a phone that wouldnt break if the wind blew too hard.

P.S. If you're going to go with a custom rom, CM 7.2 stable is probably your best bet with THIS KERNEL and DONT over clock beyond 1100. To me, every other custom kernel on these threads has atleast one annoying issue. CM kernel is good, but doesnt work with Draw Something. Trinity kernel is fast/good battery life but doesnt work with Draw Something and has issues with the gyroscope/accelerometer so games like Temple Run dont work right and Faux kernel is the fastest of the bunch and everything works but its going to cause alot of SOD and overheating, especially when you overclock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Hey just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in on the subject because I've seen some responses that I don't 100% agree with. There's a lot of hype over the SGS3 and I'm even a fan of Samsung, but in reality it's not leaps and bounds better than the G2X by any stretch. We're still in the "Dual-Core" generation of phones right now, including the American version of the SGS3. Looking back on the "1ghz" generation, was the Samsung Captivate leaps and bounds better than the HTC Evo 4g? Obviously it's a matter of opinion but they are both "1ghz" phones so it doesn't even make a difference. Luckily I've been able to spend some time with the SGS3 along with my G2X, and for me the G2X is actually better FOR ME believe it or not, and I'd actually keep my G2X over the SGS3 if I had to choose. There's obviously pros and cons to both but realistically one isn't that much greater than the other IMO. As far as overclocking it's not even necessary with the newer kernels anymore, and I have yet to find an app that I literally had to "oc" because it struggled to work unless I did. Overheating while charging is eliminated by making sure stay awake while charging is checked in applications - development. If it still overheats or gets warmer than normal, it just means your phone can't handle the oc and a kernel swap fixes it. People act like half the apps on the market won't work anymore if you have to use 1.4ghz oc instead of 1.5ghz oc, when in reality 1.1 ghz runs as smooth as butter and handles every app I throw at it like a champ. For me I'll look at something like it's more "advanced" when it's a different generation, because if it's not it's basically the same as all the others in it's generation. People can call me crazy all day long for all I care, but I believe the G2X is just as good of a phone as the sgs3, and even better in a few ways. I'd definitely rather have a g2x if my screen were to break because I can get an lcd and digitizer for the g2x for under $30. Just the lcd alone on the SGS3 is over $300 because it's Super Amoled, and even though I truly believe the screen quality is amazing on the sgs3, I'd still rather have the g2x because I fix my own phones and $30 is way better than $300 if ever needed!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
I have not compared g2x and sgs3 side by side but agree with jeep in essence.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeep447:
Thanks man and I just wanted to clarify that I'm not bashing anybody with the S3 or even the S2. I've always been a fan of Samsung and one of my favorite phones ever was the Captivate SGS. Those Super Amoled screens are literally jaw dropping IMO, but since I started repairing phones for a living it was an eye opener for sure. Just the Super Amoled lcd by itself (not including the digitizer) is over $300 at wholesale prices! It's because they're running out of the raw materials needed to make them, so the prices are starting to skyrocket. Now that this "leak" has hit for our phones and we have an idea of what's coming, I just can't see anything else (in America anyway) that would worth using an upgrade for at this point. That's only my opinion though and I just wanted to clarify that I'm not hating on the sgs3 :D

Now i bought my S3 from the middle east (Qatar) because it got released there a week before launch.. and i am happy with it so far.

However, we never receive the latest OTA updates, and kies points to the latest middle eastern rom (which is old).. Do i have to update manually to get the latest ROMs for the United Kingdom? And will the phone always update with the UK roms after doing that or will it just keep giving OTA's based on the middle east?

Thanks.

Hoping to get a little input here.

I found a good deal on a rogers locked galaxy nexus but am unsure if its worth it. I know its cheap to unlock but they also have apps and crap on it that nobody wants. Is is worth a little extra to get a nexus the way it was meant to be with out any carrier BS on it?

Or is it basically the same phone once I unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Wait, Rogers locks GNex? You sure? From what I heard ALL GSM version of Galaxy Nexus is unlocked. I am using Galaxy Nexus bought from Bell with Koodo SIM card.

they are all stock SIM unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pepper67:
well thats good. The guy said it was locked.

But what about the useless rogers apps they put on their phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Either root & freeze / uninstall the unwanted apps or flash a Google factory image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well Rogers is either a greedy lying jerk or they do lock their phones and we don't know it

If it is fully unlocked, there will be no bloatware.

oh nice, so then I should probably take the good deal and I can just make it like rogers had nothing to do with it?

Good to know, then Im either getting a great deal from someone who doesnt know their phone so well or Im getting ripped off and this phone will has some issues Im not aware of.

Turns out it was a nexus s and not a nexus. Hes the third guy to try and sell the the out dated one without coming forward right away and telling me its the s.

Just to clear up a few things:

1) Rogers does not add any bloatware to the GNex.

2) All Canadian carriers sell the same version of the GNex, running a yakjuux build.

3) All GNex devices sold in Canada are SIM-unlocked.

4) NOT all GSM GNEx are sold SIM-unlocked.

Mods need to get a life on xda. Cant let adults hold arguments. Wow sad guys very sad
[About XDA developers] rajalm29:

life ?
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
This is because with arguments, it's possible that it can get out of hand and threatening can ensue thereon. If it gets out of hand out hand, whether it gets as serious as threats or not, this will mean users will be moaning at the mods left, right and centre. Making more work for them, and in some cases, people getting accused and infracted by accident simply because they tried to stop the argument. This then causes even more complaints and so on. Can you see a pattern arising there?

Whereas, discussion is allowed because while it's still a discussion, that means it's remaining calm and people are all getting there points across and allowing others to have their points aired aswell. This is fine because it means whether you agree with the other person or not, you're gaining knowledge, which afterall is what this site is about.

Discussions will always be encouraged but as soon as it looks like it'll get out of control, the mods have to step in to get the chat back to being calm again.

Hi.

There is a problem.

My friend made a backup on the unlocked Prime (with APX mode)

wheelie --blob blob.bin
nvflash --resume --read 4 bootloader.bin
nvflash --resume --read 5 recovery.img
nvflash --resume --read 6 boot.img
nvflash --resume --read 10 system.img
nvflash --resume --getpartitiontable partitiontable.txt

After hi tried to do restore:

wheelie --blob blob.bin
nvflash --resume --download 4 bootloader.bin
nvflash --resume --download 5 recovery.img
nvflash --resume --download 6 boot.img
nvflash --resume --download 10 system.img

After the Device started no more.:(

What was wrong?

How to correct this mistake?

PS. Hi has all of backup files from tf201_nvflash
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
Does your friend have the output from the readrawdevice command as suggested by androidroot? I believe the bootloader partition cannot be directly flashed due to the needed encryption, thus you will need to write the raw data.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
you are partially right there, you can flash the bootloader partition directly, however you cannot flash the bootloader partition with the backed up bootloader.

the backed up bootloader read in its encrypted form. When you write to the bootloader partition it expects it to be plaintext and encrypts it before writing it.

it will not boot because it is expecting the bootloader to be encrypted once not twice. what you need is get the bootloader out of the blob from the nvflash pack, and blobunpack it.

EDIT: writing back the bricksafe image will probably be the easiest which can be done with

$ nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 2944 bricksafe.img
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dasdranamin:
Thanks!

I'll tell him.

I mean, this is the general problem: I don't found any guide for backup/restore ASUS Prime, even by AndroidRoot.mobi team.

This is a big disadvantage.

There are trivial things, which should be (in my opinion) immediately apparent:

How to use backups?

How with Nvflash flash bootloader? etc.

Unfortunately, I've found nothing... :(

Maybe someone knows this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lilstevie:
nvflashing bootloader, and backup are straight forward and exactly how you did it, the only thing is you cannot backup the bootloader because --read does not decrypt, not that it is an issue as you do have the bootloader
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dasdranamin:
One more question:

After command

wheelie --blob blob.bin

nothing happens.

There is no way to enter any command like

nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 2944 bricksafe.img

What is now wrong??? :crying:
