It's not really outdated. They don't need quad core processors in an iPhone, it would be overkill. Even with worse hardware, iPhones are more snappy and crash less. I love Android and all, but I can't deny the simplicity and stability of the iPhone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
See this is the thing people always say...yet they have nothing to back up the stability of an iPhone...the thing with iPhones is that they don't display when there is a crash like android does...ios keeps crashes hidden making them appear stable..but just a few months ago there was a study done that showed that ios actually had more app crashes then android -so iPhones actually do crash more...not less

Now I haven't touched an iPhone5 yet...but the iPhone 4s that my friends have do not even come close to as smooth and snappy as my vivid...let alone the sgs3...that thing just blows everything out of the water...and I only messed around with my cousins att sgs3 -so no quad core...but that was on stock...I could only imagine how much snappier it would be an aosp

I can go on and on but I won't, mainly because these type of debates tend to get a little heated...happened over in the infuse thread, wasn't about iPhones...but it was about apple in general...it got out of hand and I had to request for the mods to close it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] el_venga:
i read at Engadget, not sure if true but, the A6 dual core processor is more of a enhanced cortex a9, much like the A5 or A5X, customized by Apple. the cortex a15 is supposed to be even better than the A6. i repeat, not sure if it's true but after the phone is released we will know for sure.

Like I said, I'm all android but we can't be naive. The Vivid is not smoother than an iPhone, scroll through your app drawer, contacts list, or browser and you'll see what I mean. Even the Galaxy Nexus I'm using now with project butter doesn't quite reach the smoothness of the iPhone when scrolling. The iPhone doesn't need maxed out specs for how the OS works.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
It may not need maxed out specs...but when in a market you always want to one up your competitors...something apple hasn't done in a while when it comes to hardware...android doesn't need a dual core or a gig of ram to run...but they have androids with dual cores and over a gig of ram because they can/bragging rights...its not a need its just there because they have the ability (I have an infuse that has a single core and only 750mb ram that runs jellybean extremely smooth)...and if an sgs3 and an iPhone are gonna be the same price ill go with the phone that has better hardware

Smoothness...I have no problem with contacts or browser...whether its zooming in or scrolling...completely butter smooth...I've used many iPhones (never owned one) and I'm anything but naive when it comes to mobile devices, in my opinion the vivid is smoother and snappier then the 4s and all its predecessors

I'm also the kind of a guy that wants (if not needs) the best of the best hardware...although I would never need this much power, I'm saving up for parts to build a custom pc that will have 8 cores (probably more by the time I get the money/a job...), 32gb of ram, 3tb HDD...etc not cause I need all that but cause I can...pretty much bragging rights...I wanna be that guy that has the fastest hardware -so that plays a huge role in my opinion...its just the way I am, I want the best

Everyone has differnt opinions, everyone wants there phone to do different things...one device can't satisfy everyone, get what you like and enjoy it...

I like the smoothness of the vivid, you like the smoothness of the iPhone -let's leave it at that...no amount of debating will change either of our minds
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Lmao at this thread. It's always iphone vs something. Considering the vivid isn't a flagship of well anything and the 5 is the flagship of Apple, they can't be compared imo. A more fair comparison would be vs the One X, Galaxy S3, or Galaxy Nexus. Just sayin
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] agentfusion:
This thread is dumb.

Why would you compare a phone that came out almost a year ago to the iPhone 5? That is asinine.

Try comparing it to the Galaxy Note 2 or the HTC One X.

Then ignore the gpu benchmark garbage because the iOS ui is driven by the gpu whereas android only recently got true hardware acceleration as of ICS, and even with it, the ui processes are mostly cpu based only using the gpu when necessary unless you enable the feature in the development settings to always use HA.

So, in short, stop being stupid and learn how to properly research and compare technologies instead of spouting spec sheets comparing a brand new flagship against a former flagship. Compare the Vivid to the 4S
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drwario:
How bout apples new map app? Now iPhone 5 doesnt compare to any android IMO.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
I don't know why everyone thinks the vivid used to be a flag ship...it never was a flag ship...at least not in my opinion...it was just another phone with decent specs released to keep the funds coming in for htc...nothing about the vivid Is really flagship worthy...1.2ghz dual for stock...was common back when vivid was released, 1gb if ram...again was common, lte...only thing that put it above other Att phones at the time

Go ahead and disagree with me...I'm just stating my opinion...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
It was pretty much made just to show off lte
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
Exactly - in a lot of ways, it was a "middle of the road" device even back then.

What's interesting, though, is that it can still compete in a lot of ways with the latest offering from Apple.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Actually I think it was top of the line at release. The hardware was very good for the time, better than any other phone on AT&T. The only other competitor was the skyrocket. If they wouldn't have messed with the bootloader we would've had a huge dev community. Tons of devs pledged to come to the Vivid but they went back on their word after the bootloader fiasco.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
Its funny tho because the vivid is about the same or even better than the iphone 5
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
Dude. Go get a m'fn life and stop spouting **** about things you don't know about >.< the vivid is awesome, better than the 5 imo so yeah. Bye cx
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bendirkss:
You guys are pathetic. Each phone is great for its user. Sure we android users have awesome stuff, but we don't have a perfectly smooth UI experience, or amazing tech support and great update support.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah I'm kinda sick of apple vs android myself. To each his own.

I think me personally the vivid could be a decent alternative if it wasn't so buggy and unstable, and if you could actually get more than 8 hours a charge. I'm using wcx's rom and it fixes all those issues giving you a perfect stock experience, but you have to unlock and root to get to that point and 90% of the consumer market wouldn't be willing to do that.

Also consider accessories, the vivid is scarce, the iphone is saturated
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Blac Caesar:
Well coming from someone who has both a Vivid, S-On and a Galaxy Nexus... I think both are smoother than Apple. And yes, the Apple vs Android comparisons are a bit overdone now. Considering both are pretty good manufacs. Obvi, I love Android.. I've never owned an Apple anything, so I can't say from experience. But, for Cor-master, I'm not sure what all you've done to your Vivid.. but I typically got about 14-17hrs on a full charge, avg usage but that was only after I de-Sensed it. Nexus, I get about 25-29hrs, depending on use. As far as the OS stability, neither of my devices crash all that often.. and well, since Paranoid Android (CM10 base) on the Nexus, it beats Apple's "lastest n greatest" hands down... WAY, faster than iPhone 5; but it's OC'd to 1.72GHz, 537 GPU speeds ; so go figure it'd be faster. But like stated earlier... to each his/her own.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Statements like these are what irk me. You say "I've never owned an Apple anything, so I can't say from experience." If you've never owned an Apple product then how can you say any Android device you've tried is more smooth or stable? From the 5 minutes you've demoed one in an Apple store? Android fanboys are no better than Apple fanboys. You can't talk down a product you've never given a chance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bendirkss:
You've never owned anything apple so you can't say for experience, but you say both are smoother than apple... :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I've never owned one but I've played with them plenty. They are the fastest and continue to be. Android made big headway with jelly bean but ios is still smoother. But it comes at a cost of customization. Pretty much if apple couldn't implement a feature without ios continuing to be smooth, they would skip on it. The primary goal of ios has been a smooth stock experience.

I gotta say too if your all about cell phone gaming, iphone is easily better than the vivid. Everything they have is available and works on the iphone 5. I dunno what's up with this phone, it's got the guts to handle just about everything but so much stuff that even showed up on my captivate is listed "incompatible" with our vivids. Doesn't matter much to me as I game on my Nexus 7, but honestly I think the reason behind this is many developers block their games from the market on devices they haven't tested and many probably aren't aware of the Vivids existence.

Iphones aren't for me but I gotta be fair in saying they are nice phones.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Blac Caesar:
Wow you guys.. relax. I can compare them I don't need to own one in order to compare iPhone to another device. All of my ex girlfriends, and their moms.. have one. Oh and my dad too. So I don't need to personally have one. I've seen how iPhone is, I don't want to own one.. just to be disappointed? That's alright. Thanks ;)

EDIT: oh, and my sister, our mom.. hmm? If we're doing what the OP started.. spec vs spec. Owning either device is not necessary. Or did y'all not know that??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah that's me too. I have never owned one but lots of friends and family members i know have them or have had them and I also have used the business issued iphone 4's they have at my job.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Blac Caesar:
Alright.. topic change lol. Cor, if you still avidly use your Vivid you may consider getting Juice Defender Ultimate. I had it back on my Atrix 4G, f*ing flawless.. extended life to 30hrs daily. With the Vivid, bc of LTE I could get at best 23hrs less than avg use. There's a free version too, so you could try that..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah I got no interest in owning an iphone. I got too much invested in the Android ecosystem for one thing another is they are pretty boring phones imo. Ideal for non techies but I'd get bored if I couldn't customize :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
I'll agree, iPhones are nice...and like you guys...never owned one and never will...but being the tech guy I am I have used many iPhones thanks to my friends, family...etc, hut I have yet to use an iPhone that I really felt was smoother than my vivid, haven't used an iPhone 5 yet...but seeing how all my friends are getting it, that will soon change...

But you have to agree, apple has been kinda lagging lately, they used to set the standard for mobile technology...but now it seems that Samsung is with their galaxy series...I personally think that if apple was still setting the standard then thy would've one upd samsungs galaxy s3...instead they release a phone with half the ram and a much smaller battery with a lot less battery life...even if apple doesn't need the ram (android doesn't either) its all about competition and having better everything...that includes hardware...seeing how apple didn't even match the sgs3...an a few hardware specs...that just shows they are no longer setting the standard... the tides are changing...more and more people are switching to android...particularly the galaxy s series and the nexus series...the apple fan base is shrinking...they are finally realizing they are getting ripped off, that there are better androids for cheaper...

Like a user said (one that has way more knowledge on hardware then any of us...I'll try and find the exact quote later...) "iPhones are simplified down to the point of stupidity, both their software and hardware"

Like I said in the beginning though, iPhones are nice...but they aren't the best any more and they definitely are no longer setting the standard for mobile technology

That is the last time I talk about apple vs android on the vivid forums...unless I find that quote...then I'll just quote that here then be done lol...:P

Really great launcher. Smooth and simple with ICS feeling. Unfortunately stock favorite contact widget seem to not work with this launcher.

anyone here using Holo Launcher and facing the same problem?

I wonder if anyone had LG O3D Max "favorite contact widget" apk, so that I can test if it working with my P920. Or is there any good "favorite contact widget" you all can sugggest? Thanks.

so im on stock ICS. not rooted.

and i want android jelly bean.

now all i've seen is that you have to get CM10 to do it. but i don't like to use "non stock roms", so is there anyway I can still get jelly bean without using CM?

and if not CM, then i really dont wanna use other ROMs either.

so in other words, is there a way to get jelly bean on sprint s3 using the "official" look of the jelly bean OS (and not other ROMs' looks)?

thanks! (and yes ill root and do all that too)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
so if i don't want to risk somethign crazy, the closest, most stable, and sexiest way is to use CM10 correct?

i just wanted touchwiz jelly bean stock :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Not yet, but there's someone saying they have some leaked update.zips. These will be leaked builds so when it goes official you'll either need to go custom or Odin back to stock. Either way it's the equivalent of a factory reset. It will also probably have annoying bugs. If you want a strong, stable build you'll just have to be patient. If this guy posts the update zips, feel free to give a go, but know you might as well be custom because stock recovery will probably reject the official OTA when it drops.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Does he not want clockwork recovery or cyanogenmod? Now I'm not sure which... Nevermind, reread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
so i guess CM10 is the safest bet.

now another question:

since jelly bean (stock) is going to be coming out from sprint update sometime in october, what will I have to do? do a factory install, install stock ICS? and then manually update to jelly bean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Just to help assuage your fears, the creator of Cyanogen is like head developer for Samsung or something now. It's as safe as a stock build. I personally don't love CM roms and people seem to love aokp just as much. It's all personal preference. Just follow the rules of switching between because it can be a rocky ride. When in doubt Odin back to stop and rework from there. There is a lot of fun in it. Stock is stock, it's also made by developers who may or may not be as qualified or passionate as anyone on here. All up to you though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
I would just be patient and wait a month or 2 for the real official jb update Thayer sprint will send to your phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
1) so i got CM10 on this, so obvi thatst jellybean and it looks pretty sexy. except SOMETIMES, the screen will random flicker or glitch up for a microsecond. whats up with that?

2) when i open up the hotmail app, it only shows the text and now the attachment or any of the interactive stuff that was possible in ICS

3) i cant change the input method to something else!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
1) flash ktoonez kernel. Check HW overlay in developer settings.

2)Don't know the issue your referring to.

3)download another keyboard if you need to because this only comes with one keyboard so you can't change the input method until you download another one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
thanks a lot man!

new issues:

1) the battery is GOD awful! i lasted like 6-7 hours with about 1.5hrs screen time. i was used to 30hrs+ using stock ICS. is there a battery fix for this?

2) should i use SetCPU or will this make matters worse? juice defender is already pretty awesome

3) i fixed the swype thing

Hi,

I've googled this question and it seems that it does. However, I'm plugging a USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer 1GB) into the device and nothing seems to be happening.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] fwmone:
Yes it does.

Did you buy a USB OTG cable? And did you check within a file explorer of your choice (I'm using EStrongs) whether you get the USB storage as a new directory? I unfortunately neither do carry the USB OTG cable nor a USB stick with me so I can't tell you the exact directory name.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
Works with my firmware mod C232B005 and the new kernel-3.0.42.

I just tested that with some video from a 8Gb USB pen drive.

You need a mini USB-B to USB-A adapter/connector.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] goister:
I'm using build number S7-301uV100R002C232B005, Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8

I bought a USB OTG cable, don't have a file explorer but alogcat didn't show any activity when I plugged the drive in.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] shiranmotha:
Works fine on mine. It was even working in HC3.2 rom. Keyboard, mouse, pendrives and usb card readers ( used to read my cybershot's card) works fine. But have to tap 'mount usb storage' several times to access my other phone's (HTC wildfire) SD card over usb.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
is your usb flash formatted on FAT32?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ferdz33:
OTG works fine even on stock rom. Tested with various USB flash drives and card readers/SD cards of various sizes. Also have played numerous media using the OTG too. I think format should be FAT/FAT32.

One thing that didn't work was an external hard drive (500gb). Maybe it needs its own power for it to mount on the mediapad though I haven't tried formatting it to FAT/FAT32 yet as its my backup drive.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] isolated_epidemic:
This has been an issue with Android USB OTG since the beginning. Flash drives, mice, and keyboards will work fine by themselves, but anything that requires a little more juice like spinning platter drives needs to be run through a powered USB hub. As for drive format, only FAT/FAT32 is supported. However, some custom kernels have allowed for NTFS file support.

As a side note, I can also confirm that USB 3.0 drives work with the OTG cable. (Patriot Supersonic Express 32GB tested)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ferdz33:
I already had an inclination that this should be the case but was not able to confirm as I don't have any external HDD with its own power nor do I have a powered USB hub. Thanks again for providing this explanation.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tsenecal:
other usb devices?

Does anybody know if the OTG support on the springboard goes beyond OS/file system support, and allows for third party android apps to connect to usb devices?

an example would be the DSLR Controller android app or Remote Release android app being able to see/control a Canon DSLR...

thanks
