[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] alochmst98:
The reason I use a Dinc2 is that it's perhaps the best phone that's easy to activate on Page Plus, a Verizon MVNO that's pretty much perfect for my usage (text/calls/WiFi, but no data). Unfortunately, they don't support LTE and LTE phones are somewhat difficult to activate on Page Plus 3G.

I'll use my Dinc2 for at least a year, and I hope that LTE phones will be easier to activate by the time I feel the need to upgrade. Verizon hasn't been accepting 3G-only phones for a while now, so the hardware will become increasingly outdated. They'll have to work something out with Verizon sooner or later. I can easily switch carriers if I have to, but I haven't found a better one for my needs.

The phone works well for the most part, and performs much better than my 4th gen iPod touch. My main issues are no stable CM9, a broken headphone jack (don't know where to get it fixed), and an SD card that randomly dismounts (requiring a reinsert and restart).

Your missing the deeper meaning. When there's a phone that is powerful enough to play a PC games. Anything else just wouldn't be a good upgrade.

And minecraft's a really good game
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CalvinAMi:
MC is a good game =)

Fun to just explore and create a little exhistance from time to time :cyclops:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I refuse to upgrade until there's a phone that has a 4.3-4.5 inch screen, not made by Samsung or Motorola, runs at least JB, has NFC, stock battery life of more than 1 day of medium use, at least a dual core 1.5ghz processor, at least 1gb of ram, an SD slot, removable battery, can be rooted, has pretty good dev support, official cm support, camera flash, a pretty good stock UI for when I get bored of CM, AOKP, and PA.

My phone already does everything I want it to do, aside from NFC and LTE which are at the bottom of my list. If I want to play real games I will use my laptop, ps3, or tablet. Very good performance on daily tasks is what is important to me.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rp201:
If I purchased or made a female to female usb cable and connected to my Nook table cable and plugged a usb thumb drive to it, could I mount the thumb drive partition as lets say an sd-ext for even more additional storage? If the answer is yes, then my second question right after it is also usb keyboards, mice and possibly bluetooth and a powered usb hub and then a usb to vga or hdmi video out. (last one is a huge stretch but if your gonna dream.... dream big!) . Cydia for ipod touch 4th has an app called "TVOUT2 mirror TVOUT" which is a really cool feature with hdmi out adapter since xbmc can be installed on it. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bndfishing:
I've been with Sprint for 12 years and it has always been that you couldn't have data and voice at the same time with their system unless you were on the 4G connection. What changed with the EVO, I now have a data connection when I am talking. I can surf the net, emails come through, everything just like I have a 4G connection. I'm in Portland and we don't have LTE here so I know that's not it. I'm not complaining just curious.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
It's called SVDO, simultaneous voice over data. Separate chips allow for this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] muffinhunter:
Well-known feature, but not well-publicized. The upgraded towers will allow SVDO on newer phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
It has nothing to do with upgraded towers, its either a phone supports it or not. Hell, the iphone 5 doesn't support it and neither does the gnex, but the evo lte, gs3 and viper does.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] muffinhunter:
It was my understanding it was a combination of both. I find it difficult to imagine that Sprint could've had SVDO for years if only phone manufacturers supported it.

Edit: there's really no clear answer, but you may be right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Closing this as there is a lengthy thread on this already here...

SVDO....and yes its the phone that allows it. Nothing to do with a change they made nationwide to all towers overnight...

In developer options, what does enabling force gpu rendering do? Id like to know pros and cons.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
I'm trying it right now cause I read this post, I think it makes things look better/smoother when using apps. Not too sure tho

Edit: just give it a google I just read a pretty good explanation of it I'll probably just leave it on now unless something gets weird but sounds like everything will be better with it on less lag smoother
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] qwahchees:
I believe it forces the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to render things like transitions between menus, and what not.

Now I'm not sure if that's more power hungry, or bad for the device. But in my opinion, I believe this would be better than having the CPU render the transitions, because the GPU is designed for graphical rendering -- of course, there's the question of if the GPU sleeps while the phone isn't doing anything intense (gaming generally).

I hope that explains it!

He's asking for a portfolio showcase app, not a camera app. He did say an actual camera. ;) As in a DLSR.

Try:

Fotolio by Netsoft2k (hasn't been updated in a while, though)

QuickPic by alensw.com (a replacement for the stock gallery, but with much more options and better image quality.)

Both are free.

Personally I use QuickPic for my portfolio. I just put all the images in a separate folder.

Hello I was hoping that someone could help me out here.

I have the latest radios but I'm not sure how to check what firmware I'm on. I have terrible battery life on this ROM and he suggested that it could be a firmware issue.

Second I have terrible sound quality on phone calls. Anyone know why that is?

Lastly when I use bluetooth it works for like 5 seconds then just stops playing audio through the bluetooth device.

Thank you for your help
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Calling sounds are a known issue, and Bluetooth may still have issues besides calling.

As for me, I have to connect my headset and play something within a few seconds or it will drop the connection. But, once I do that it stays connected.

can you please provide the following info.

Baseband = 1.22.10.0421r/1.22.10.424r

hBoot = jupunto(spelling is wrong on my fault)

Radio = same as baseband
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G.

Now that I've done it I have no idea what all I can do with it.

I was wanting to add a theme but I was told I had to flash it. I have no idea what it means to flash.

I also want it to be less laggy, get better service and have a better battery life.

Help is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
What version on Android are you running now? Since you rooted it easily, I would assume 2.2 ? First thing to decide is whether to go to 2.3 (gingerbread) or 4.0.4 (ice cream sandwich)

Each has it's pro's and con's, and you can google and read the forums here. Biggest diff's are ICS has lots more features, nicer interface, run's apps like google chrome, but sucks more battery life. It's is also a work in progress, probably 90% complete to where the dev's want it I would say (few minor bugs to work out but everything works like calling, messaging, etc)

GB is more stable as it's older and pretty complete in the features for it. Better battery life, not as many features as ICS.

There is lots to play with on here, I've been trying all kinds of ROM's.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Your first order of business should be to read the SGS4G wiki here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V

Read it, then read it again.

Get a good idea of what you want. And be sure to know what you have and what you want. If all you want is to cut down lag, for example, you might be happy with just getting rid of Tmobile's bloatware by using something like Titanium Backup from Play (Market).

If you decide that you want to do more, then i strongly recommend checking out lumin30's and juls317's guides:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Battery life is a personal opinion and depends a lot on how you use your phone. There are also significant improvements in ICS over GB in terms of usability, as well as things like Bluetooth robustness. The common complaint about WiFi signal strength has been shown to be almost entirely cosmetic. Try a ROM or two, for a week or so each, then decide what works for you.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Hey getochkn,

In the time between me posting and seeing your post I found a great thread by lumin30. I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6), I have an efs backup, Rooted and have custom kernel with CWM. Currently I'm stuck on flashing this ROM to my phone, it says I must wipe my device before doing so, does that mean a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Thank you both for the responses, I will definitely have a look. I'm stumped on whether or not wiping means a factory reset, some one had already told me that but when I tried to do it it said data wipe failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Yes from CWM. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache(under advanced). If you want to keep your apps get Titanium Backup paid from market first. With it you can batch backup all your user apps and data. Then restore them after flashing a new ROM. If you wanna save your SMS look into some apps from market that can do that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
How do I go about getting it back to stock if i wanted to?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cdk2588:
First go here and download the stock rom http://sourceforge.net/projects/tea...T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar/download then go to lumins guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 and follow the heimdall steps and then you can go back to stock. I hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Make a nandroid backup in CWM before you flash anything. Then you can just restore your stock backup. You won't wanna go back to stock though, trust me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
And what if I wanted to flash to a different ROM?

Edit: I had a look on the SGS4G Wiki and found the answers to most of my questions. =D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Lumin30's guide takes you through the entire process for GB ROMs. Follow those steps, and it's painless.

If you decide to flash an ICS ROM, follow the dev's directions in the OP of the ROM you've selected. Again, should be painless.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cdk2588:
I actually had to go back to stock when I tried to make a nandroid backup because my phone froze up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fataltech:
It kinda depends on the rom because the rom might use deferent custom recoveries. For example, some roms need a ginger based rom before installing it. other need ics roms before installing. So when installing(what i do to be safe.) Back up contacts and such with go back. Then factory reset your phone. Reboot. Do a nandroid back up, (if needed do full wipe as in,1factory reset,2wipe cashe partisions,3 wipe dalvik cashe,4wipe battery stats,5 format system,6 flash rom.)If u DON'T need fullwip just do steps numbers 1-4 and 6.
[General Questions and Answers] new ion?:
So a partial spec list for the iPhone 5 was released, and it mentioned the processor being 1 GHz. Now lets assume that this is a dual core CPU, and lets also assume that there is active GPU rendering as in Android 4.0 +.

The IP4s has a dual core, 800 MHz Cortex A9, (A9 just like most modern phones). now however, if you take that 800 MHz CPU and put android onto it, we aren't going to see anything special happen.

I'm way too tired to finish this post now, but basically, I'm curious if anyone knows why iOS seems to be so much more efficient than android does.

I refuse to have this turn into the typical VS thread and will just lock it if it does. I would like this to be a discussion about the firmware (as much as we know at least) and anything technical.

please, feel free to correct me of anything i have said.
[General Questions and Answers] speedyink:
Umm, because iOS is tailored for that exact hardware?

Have you ever used a Nexus phone? Runs really damn well for the specs, because Android is tailored to those specs first and foremost.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Apple puts in lots of tricks to make the user experience of iOS a smooth one. (Example: when waiting for a web page to load and you start dragging, iOS actually stops the process of loading the page and focuses everything on your finger. Android continues to load the page).

No true multitasking to bog down RAM as well. Simple OS, simpler hardware.

Also the post above. Tailored hardware. Just look at WP7 and their single core snapdragons!
[General Questions and Answers] new ion?:
Unfortunately, as I was having issues with AOKP rebooting at the time my friend got his GNex, I haven't been allowed to touch a nexus LOL

See i thought it had to do with the dedicated hardware, with the non nexus users getting shafted.

I'm curious of things like... lags in the messaging app. I don't have that many messages (all threads are capped at 450 and 20 pics) yet I still have some bad lag on my phone.

I guess I'm curious if we can get into the reasons why some apps and processes (messaging app etc) will lag, and if there is a known way to improve the issues.

glad to see this hasn't gotten to an outright flame war yet lol
[General Questions and Answers] jRi0T68:
I figure it's very similar to power-to-weight ratio. Some lightweight cars with lower horsepower are much faster than 2-ton cars with massive horsepower.

The lack of multitasking alone would have a huge impact. I think that could be tested in a Rom like AOKP, by telling it to destroy the activity as soon as the user leaves it. I don't have access to an iPhone to compare to, though.

Either way, I'd rather have a heavier, more full-featured OS today requires better hardware than iOS.
[General Questions and Answers] new ion?:
It seems that iOS has a better featured multitasking than this though... it doesn't completely destroy the task (or it seems not to)

[General Questions and Answers] jRi0T68:
From what I've read, that depends on the task/API. iOS doesn't multitask as well as Android, certainly. Destroying all tasks on Android wouldn't be a perfect comparison, but you can see if it makes a big difference or not.

The UI rendering thing above games sense, but on my T-Mobile GSII, I don't experience any noticeable or bothersome lag. It was stable and smooth until I switched from AOKP ICS to AOKP JB. Smooth, sure, but JB is a work in progress.
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
No, it just forces suspension within 5 seconds of all but a few special types of programs. (Which, in case you weren't sure, is neither as flexible nor good.)

Makes me actually wonder what would happen if you put Jellybean on comparable specs. Not enough to try looking for it, though. It's not like better hardware has not been cheaply available for some years.
[General Questions and Answers] speedyink:
Ahh, you be missing out. Especially with a few of the new tricks Jellybean added to bump it up to a iOS similar experience. Although with Android being so much more advanced than iOS I still think iOS will appear a little faster. However, I'd much rather have true multitasking, open file system, and massive customization than a slightly faster phone (and honestly, we're splitting hairs at this point)
[General Questions and Answers] new ion?:
See i run cm9 on my herc, and the lag in the keyboard and messaging app kills me. I hate tw, but im tempted to go go try evo8 just cuz tdj is god.

Is jelly bean really that much better than ics? The issues with the dev for my phone has caused me to have to avoid it as I wake up at 4 and if my phone decides to random reboot and get stuck then I'm fubard.

Thanks for the link btw, cleared many things up!
[General Questions and Answers] new ion?:
Lol I figured in was missing out. My next phone probably will be a nexus. But I just can't help but love the powerhouses of non nexus phones.
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
To be honest, I haven't been able to notice any lag even with ics.

JB supposedly fixes most/all of the lag issues, and is quite smooth on N7. However, you are correct in that it is only as good as the deving is. For example, CM10 on the S3 suffers from a memory leak (largely due to the "official" kernel not being available yet) and automatically closes apps as a result. So I can't make any promises.
