[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
I think most people are forgetting something:

Even though you have a FANTASTIC device, I doubt the majority of the people will own that device, and developers mostly want the max. profit out there. There are a lot of powerful devices right now that are running Android, but comparing the number of games to devices, most games are designed to run on most devices!

Even if you have this top of the line device, most games will still be coded for slower phones. So I don't think this Galaxy Note 2 quadcore CPU and 2GB of RAM and it's latest iteration of the ready to be pushed out GPU is going to be phased out this year, only because this is a TOP TIER device, and next year it'll still be a high end phone, and therefore will still be able to play games VERY VERY well.

My Note 1 still plays games VERY well! I haven't had any lags or break downs or anything like that. Android games aren't that demanding at the moment. Of course I'm not a pro and I don't base this on anything but seeing the majority of the android phones my friends have and people in the street, and they're just as likely to spend .99cents on the same game that I play on my Note or Note 2. In fact, a lot of my students (I'm a teacher) recommend fun games and entertaining apps on their tiny single core phones, and they run OK on their phones!

Of course we'd all like to have the next gen GPU and CPU, but I don't think we're going to be disappointed in a year by our current device (the note 2).

Technology won't stop growing. Our devices would become obsolete in a year or two. Live in the present, not in the future. But it's good to plan ahead though. That mentality saved me from buying an overpriced "rotting" device.

If you are running Windows Phone 8 or RT, then maybe, but it won't make a bit of difference on Android.

Well tech changes every 2 years I guess ( 2012end :arm A 15 released)( 2014end :arm A53 &57 would release)

Well I have used one of yours 'rotting overpriced ' device namely nexus 10 and you know what it is just 400 $ and is better than s3 in fluidity even nexus 4 (which is close to an A15 and supports dx11, opengl es3.0) is better too.

What I mean to say is:it is best to buy a device when technology changes for e.g. it is useless to buy top A9 now ; should go for newer one s4 pro; A15

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
I think Note 2 is the "cutting edge" technology when it comes to pure performance. The new coming technology will not give us users more bechmark points or more speed.

Let's take The CPU comparison between Quad A15, Dual A9 and Quad S4 pro. The only test which makes one the much better than the others is Linpack. This is where S4 Pro shines. Other than that every test tells those 3 CPUs are mostly doing the same job for the user with verying abilities and talents. But in the end user gets the same.. Even Dual core S4 s giving very good performance and Galaxy Nexus is still getting support.

Now the GPU comparison; There are big changes here on the benchmarks. But I think this is not true in real life. Lets assume we are comparing 2 pairs of legs and we use a bycicle to benchmark them. We have 2 veriables; spinning speed and the force our feet can apply at once. If a person is not quick but very powerful then he needs a higher gear. If it is the opposite it needs lower gears. Just like that our GPUs have their special capabilities too. So they need to be used under right conditions and optimisations. Drawing graphics in 1080p resolution is not one of them for our Mali 400 GPU. Since we are making the comparison offscreen 1080p Mali 400 seems very useless next to Adreno 320 and Mali 604. However when we compare the two already-on-the-market GPUs offscreen and on 720p resolution (which is excatly what we need since we have 720p screens) results are very close between Note 2 and LG optimus G. So we can say next gen GPUs are designed for higher resolutions not for better performance results compared to our "old" Mali 400s. In real life -in games let's say- we get the same performance with next gen phones and tablets because they will be using 1080 or higher screens just like Nexus 10 and Droid DNA. And since Nexus 4 is using 720p-ish screen gaming performance should be very very close between it and Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i900frenchaddict:
the time when a device was a top technology for one year or more (best example: HTC HD2) is over now.

Today it goes too fast, a device remains "the best" for maybe 6 months.

We simply must buy something we know we will like even if it's not THE top device anymore, despite it still can handle the best apps and games smoothly.

Early last year I had an HTC Sensation. Then in summer, an HTC OneX. Then a few weeks ago, the Note2, even if I know something better will be out very soon

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] danbre92:
I have been planning to re-flash my old HD2 with a newer Nand rom, I've had to look over it all again as its been a while.

Id loader magldr and selected usb flasher thinking thats what i needed to do. it was just sat at 'waiting for usb'. I then realised that was not what the HD2toolkit was asking, so i tried getting off the current screen but nothing was happening. The only thing i could think of was to remove the battery. i know, i felt stupid as soon as i did it. Now, the phone wont turn on at all, no vibrations, no led when plugged into charger or usb, nothing.

Have i bricked it? if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Dan
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
No, pulling the battery while in MAGLDR would not cause a brick.

You can check the pins of the battery connectors on the back of your phone, make sure they are straight.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwkpete:
Hello everyone,

I went running the other night and it was a little cool and humid, after a couple minutes when I got back inside, the N1 trackball started flickering green, some flashes longer than others some barely noticeable, and sometimes the light would stay on for longer periods. (I run with it on my arm in a rubber holster made for it.

After running last night, I woke up this morning seeing it do similar, but now in red.

From what I could gather, green was a high humidity detection, but I can't tell what red is? It's actually almost stopped flashing now as I type.

I am running CM7

Anyone actually know what this means, not guessing?

Thanks,

-P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Flickering red means don't use your phone anymore, donate it to one of the developers here. It's just like traffic lights, red means Stop.

Does anyone use the NT-G800 (3G version of the Note 10.1) on AT&T in the US? If so, how is the performance over 3G? Any problems?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Omnipresent*:
My GT-N8000 works great on AT&T's 3g network. I average between 2-4mb down and 1-1.5mb up. It ain't LTE but it gets the job done, lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvbarton:
Thanks for that. I ordered the 3G version without checking on here to see if there were any issues using on AT&T in the US. I figured 3G is plenty fast. An LTE version would probably kill the battery more anyway. I'm sure 3G will be plenty fast.

How is your phone experience with the tablet? I figure I'll have to swap sims when I go out, but for a work phone/tablet, it seems like a solid choice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stile35:
So, how to reproduce it:

1. Open Camera application.

2. Make sure that resolution for taking picture is W6M.

3. Make sure that camera application for taking movies is set to Stabilization ON.

4. Go to camera application, movies recording.

5. Switch back to camera application, pictures taking.

6. Take your picture.

7. Check details, picture will be only 1280x720 resolution.

This bug is reproducible only if you take pictures in W6M resolution and movies recording option is set to Stabilization ON.

Strange. Please, test it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acesofbelkan:
I enjoy using my phone in fullscreen but not so much the LMT app to navigate since it doesnt work as quickly as the navbar.

My question is, would it be possible to map the back/home/multi-task buttons to be off screen on the bottom but above the notification led?

Does the digitizer sense touch in this area?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acesofbelkan:
No one? Anything? I believe this is a good idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmakespwn:
I'm pretty sure the digitizer stops where the screen does. Your idea would be awesome if possible but its not sadly. I actually was trying to make buttons out of tin foil(obviously just as a test) where the tin foil touches the bottom of the screen and when you touch the foil it would hit the soft keys. It got less and less responsive though the smaller I made the nav bar.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I've had a couple of days where Android is using up the most battery. The only thing I can think of is that it's when I am driving the car. I have a Parrot bluetooth on my car stereo and when I get in the car I usually leave my phone in my pocket as I drive. I checked the battery stats but bluetooth is not really showing much use. Android however is showing as using nearly all the battery. More than the display in fact.

I'm running Watchdog app right now to see if it alerts me to any 'rogue' apps. But it seems OK after running all night indoors.

Does anyone know if when bluetooth is running on car bluetooth systems whether it prevents Android from going to sleep? I am wondering if that could be the issue?

What I mean is that the Bluetooth connection its always active so if you need to call or receive a call then the headset picks up.

So even if screen its off the Bluetooth is still sending and receiving the signal.

Unlike gps if not using maps, navigation etc then there is no signal even its switched on which means no usage.

Hi guys, I've searched quite extensively but haven't found any solution yet...

I have a rooted Defy+ (see my sig for details). I had to flash an sbf for this, but so far so good. I have made quite a bit of tuning, and now would like to overclock & use different governors, ...

I have tried several solutions :

- overclocking menu in 2ndInit : no success (all modifications are just ignored)

- find a kernel with overclocking and undervolting possibilities : haven't found anything flashable, except of course full ROMS but I don't want to go that way (yet)

- use a software like "Milestone-Overclock" or SetVSel : no success (these apps are not compatible with MB526)

Have I missed something ? :confused:

At least with SETVSEL from market.

Install it with CWM this will update the bootmenu and will add Twrp and others things.

Then SETVSEL will work.

I managed to get something workable downloading the 4_clock_speeds.zip from the URL you shared :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25479166&postcount=16203

I overwrote the files, fixed the permissions, and copied some .ko librairies to have at the end the possibility to save some overclocking settings in 2ndInit. There are still some issues in 2ndInit (I only see the first 3 clocks so I can't manage the highest frequency and voltage), but at least, I can play with the overclock.conf file to change the settings. And this works : currently using 1.2Ghz@60 as a max freq.

I'll probaly end-up flashing the file provided in your post to have something more user friendly !
