This is exactly what is happening with me as well. I got tired of it hanging so I went back to stock cm camera
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jerseykat1:
I keep it installed but i just use stock camera instead. The new features all work fine, plus the new gallery is pretty slick. There will be a fix for this problem soon I am sure.

Anandtech have now published the perfromance preview of the Nexus 10, lets the comparison begin!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review

Well, the first full result has appeared on GLBenchmark for the iPad4, so I have created a comparison with the Samsung Arndale board, which uses exactly the same SoC as the Nexus 10, so will be very close in performance to Google's newest tablet. GLBenchmark, as its name suggests test Open GL graphics perrformance, which is important criteria for gaming.

Which device wins, click the link to find out.

http://www.glbenchmark.com/compare....ly=1&D1=Apple iPad 4&D2=Samsung Arndale Board

If you're really impatient, the iPad 4 maintains it lead in tablet graphics, the Nexus 10 may performance slightly better in final spec, but the underlying low-level performance will not change much.

I've also made a comparison between the iPad 3 & 4.

Interestingly the in-game tests GLBenchmark 2.5 Egypt HD C24Z16 - Offscreen (1080p) :, which is run independent of native screen resolution show the following

iPad 4: 48.6 FPS

iPad 3: 25.9 FPS

5250 : 33.7 FPS

So the iPad is twice as fast as its older brother, the Exynos will probably score nearer 40 FPS in final spec, with new drivers and running 4.2, the board runs ICS, however Jelly Bean did not really boost GL performance over ICS. What is interesting is that iPad 4, whose GPU is supposed to clocked at 500 MHz vs 250 MHz in the iPad 3 does not perform twice as fast in low-level test.

Fill Rate, triangle throughtput, vertex output etc is not double the power of the iPad 3, so although the faster A6 cpu helps, I reckon a lot of the improvement in the Egypt HD test is caused by improved drivers for the SGX 543 MP4 in the Pad 4. The Galaxy S2 received a big jump in GL performance when it got updated Mali drivers, so I imagine we should see good improvements for the T604, which is still a new product and not as mature as the SGX 543.

http://www.glbenchmark.com/compare....tified_only=1&D1=Apple iPad 4&D2=Apple iPad 3
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
I'd imagine the new new iPad would take the lead in benchmarks for now as it'll take Sammy and Google some time to optimize the beast, in the end however actual app and user interface performance is what matters, and reports are overwhelmingly positive on the Nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] hung2900:
So Mali 604T didn't match 5 times better than Mali 400, or maybe Samsung underclocked it.

Still very good but not the best.

________________

Edit: I forgot that Exynos 4210 with Mali400MP4 GPU had very bad GLbenchmark initially (even worse than PowerVR SGX540), but after updating firmware it's way better than other SoCs on Android handsets.
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Not sure about this, but don't benchmark tools need to be upgraded for new architectures to? A15 is quite a big step, SW updates may be necessary for proper bench.
[Nexus 10 General] James-NC:
Damn..now I have to get an iPad.
[Nexus 10 General] hot_spare:
I believe we have to take the Arndale board numbers with pinch of salt. It's a dev board, and I doubt it has optimized drivers for the SoC like it's expected for N10. Samsung has this habit of optimizing the drivers with further updates.

SGS2 makes for a good case study. When it was launched in MWC2011, it's numbers were really pathetic. It was even worse than Tegra2.

Anand ran benchmark on the pre-release version of SGS2 on MWC2011, check this:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4177/samsungs-galaxy-s-ii-preliminary-performance-mali400-benchmarked

It was showing less than Tegra2 numbers! It was that bad initially.

Then look when Anand finally reviewed the device after few months:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17

Egypt (native resolution) numbers went up by 3.6x and Pro also got 20% higher. Now they could have been higher if not limited by vsync. GLbenchmark moved from 2.0 to 2.1 during that phase, but I am sure this would not make such a big difference in numbers.

If you again check the numbers now for SGS2, it's again another 50% improvement in performance from the time Anand did his review.

Check this SGS2 numbers now:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5811/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/4

This is just to show that how driver optimization can have a big affect on the performance. My point is that we have to wait for proper testing on final release of N10 device.

Also, check the fill rate properly in the Arndale board test. It's much less than what is expected. ARM says that Mali-T604 clocked at 500MHz should get a fill rate of 2 GPixels/s. It's actually showing just about 60% of what it should be delivering.

http://blogs.arm.com/multimedia/353-of-philosophy-and-when-is-a-pixel-not-a-pixel/

Samsung has clocked the GPU @ 533MHz. So, it shouldn't be getting so less.

According to Samsung, it more like 2.1 GPixels/s: http://semiaccurate.com/assets/uploads/2012/03/Samsung_Exynos_5_Mali.jpg

Fill rate is a low-level test, and there shouldn't be such a big difference from the quoted value. Let's wait and see how the final device shapes up.
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
In areas where the Mali 400 lacked performance, like fragment and vertex lit triangle output T604 is comfortably 5 x the performance, whereas in these low-level tests iPad is not a concrete 2x the power of iPad 3, but achieves twice the FPS in Egypt HD than its older brother. I suspect drivers are a big factor here, and Exynos 5250 will get better as they drivers mature.
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
I agree with most of what you have said. On the GPixel figure this is like ATI GPU teraflops figures always being much higher than Nvidia, in theory with code written to hit the device perfectly you might see that those high figures, but in reality the Nvidia cards with lower on paper numbers equaled or beat ATI in actual game FPS. It all depends on whether the underlying architecture is as efficient in real-world tests, vs maximum technical numbers that can't be replicated in actual game environments.

I think the current resolution of the iPad / Nexus 10 is actually crazy, and will would see prettier games with lower resolutions, the amount of resources needed to drive those high MP displays, means lots of compromises will be made in terms of effects / polygon complexity etc to ensure decent FPS, especially when you think that to drive Battlefield 3 at 2560 x 1600 with AA and high textures, requires a PC that burn 400+ watts of power, not a 10 watt SoC.

Overall when we consider that Nexus 10 has twice the RAM for game developers to use and faster CPU cores, games should look equally as nice as both, the biggest effect will be the level of support game developers provide for each device, the iPad will probably be stronger i that regard. Nvidia was able to coax prettier games out of Tegra 3 through developer support, hopefully Google won't forget the importance of this.
[Nexus 10 General] asasione:
What's the point of speculation? Just wait for the device to be released and run all the test you want to get confirmation on performance. Doesn't hurt to wait
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
Both A9 & A15 use the same instruction set architecture (ISA) so no they won't. Benchmarks may need to be modified, if the new SoC are too powerful and max out the old benches, but for GL Benchmark, that has not happened yet and there are already new updates in the pipeline.
[Nexus 10 General] DocJ8403:
I can't wait to see this Exynos 5250 in a 2.0ghz quad-core variant in the semi near future... Ohhhh the possibilities. Samsung has one hell of a piece of silicon on their hand.
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
Chrome:(

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-10-review

Google if you want to use Chrome as the stock browser, then develop to fast and smooth and not an insult, stock AOSP browser would be so much faster.
[Nexus 10 General] hot_spare:
True.. Chrome on mobile is still not upto desktop level yet. I believe it's v18 or something, right? The stock browser would have much better result in SunSpider/Browsermark. The N4 numbers looks even worse. Somewhere the optimizations isn't working.

The GLbenchmark tests are weird. Optimus G posts much better result than N4 when both are same hardware. It infact scores lower than Adreno 225 in some cases. This is totally whacked.

For N10, I am still wondering about fill rate. Need to check what guys say about this.

Is it running some debugging code in the devices at this time?
[Nexus 10 General] hung2900:
Actually not. A8 and A9 are the same ISA (Armv7), while A5 A7 and A15 are in another group (Armv7a)
[Nexus 10 General] Keion:
Once we get rid of the underclock no tablet will be able to match. I'm sure the Mali t604 at 750 MHz would destroy everything.
[Nexus 10 General] Turbotab:
I have to disagree, this is from ARM's info site.

The ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor has an out-of-order superscalar pipeline with a tightly-coupled low-latency level-2 cache that can be up to 4MB in size. The Cortex-A15 processor implements the ARMv7-A architecture.

The ARM Cortex-A9 processor is a very high-performance, low-power, ARM macrocell with an L1 cache subsystem that provides full virtual memory capabilities. The Cortex-A9 processor implements the ARMv7-A architecture and runs 32-bit ARM instructions, 16-bit and 32-bit Thumb instructions, and 8-bit Java bytecodes in Jazelle state.

[Nexus 10 General] Hemlocke:
Except the iPad 4, which has a GPU that is currently 57% faster than the T604.
[Nexus 10 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Do remember that Awesome resolution does tax the GPU a lot. Heck most lower end desktop GPUs would struggle :P
[Nexus 10 General] Hemlocke:
Indeed it does,but not in offscreen testing, where Anand made his proclamation.
[Nexus 10 General] Keion:
Nah, I think we can beat that too.

Drivers + OC.
[Nexus 10 General] :
One thing for sure -- Chrome sucks in terms of optimization. It's the worst of the lot. Infact Samsung's own browser or the AOSP browser is much better. How can Note/GS3 with A9 SoC score better than Chrome on A15 is beyond me. Only explanation is that Google has really made a mess with Chrome. The N4 battery life, GLbenchmark tests prove that Google just don't have the proper capability to work with hardware. After looking at various reviews, I am not convinced about Google's hardware capabilities.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
So is there any point to Android always emphasizing CPU and Apple going GPU crazy? Any reason why Samsung just doesn't use their power VR gpu license and just simply embarrass the iphone fan boys like Hemlocke that hang on to their GPU benchmarks like gospel?
[Nexus 10 General] nancyfromafrica:
It seems like iPHone is winning in most of the benchmarks when compared to nexus 4 or nexus 10 :good: its expensive but does the job well
[Nexus 10 General] Hemlocke:
I don't need to hang on to that. I just hang on to the best overall tablet. Samsung makes cheap, sub-optimal tablets, so how is that my fault? They bamboozle you fanboys who only care about the brand, not the overall quality. The Note 10.1 costs less to make than an iPad, by a significant margin, and sells for the same price, yet all fanboys talk about is how Apple screws people.
[Nexus 10 General] demandarin:
This apple vs. Android crap is getting old. People need to chill out before thread gets closed.
[Nexus 10 General] :
Some new benchmarks starting to sneak-in to GLbenchmark database:

http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?D=Google+Nexus+10&benchmark=glpro25

Better numbers from what we saw in past. It will continue to improve further.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
Cheap sub-optimal tablets? You do know that they supply the screen, cpu, and memory in your ipad don't you. The fact that those are pretty much the three most important parts in a "optimal" tablet seems to have escaped you. Add to that the fact that the Nexus 10 screen is bleeding edge and it runs the first A15 SOC really makes your statement ridiculously laughable. LOL. If Samsung makes sub-optimal tablets, then the ipad must be a joke for using sub optimal Samsung parts in their "optimal" product.
[Nexus 10 General] Brac20:
Or the preproduction units aren't running fully optimised software?

At this point we simply don't know. Everything could be ultra smooth after the release day update. We will know in 7 days.
[Nexus 10 General] :
I would hope that it suddenly starts to work like magic. But I doubt that if they continue to use Chrome as default instead of the normal browser. Chrome is still using old V8 engine. They should have optimized the Chrome before making it default.

As for battery life and other concerns, we will see how it works in a few days. Hopefully it gets better.

In mobile network settings check that your APN is correct for your network (use Google to find the APN details) maybe its been reset whilst you were trying to flash other ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPolo1989:
I tried to flash CWM10 into my Samsung Galaxy I9000 Device And here's what happened:

I got into the CWM Recovery screen and chose install from sdcard (after a wipe data + wipe cache factory ofcourse).

Everything seem to go OK, no errors or special things, but when I restarted the device to boot into Android OS, it just came back to the CWM Recovery screen.

Since then, I have tried to install many other ROMS and the phone simply won't boot to android OS.

I have also noticed that usually after a successful ROM flash, folders are created in the internal SD card a thing which DID NOT happen this time.

The only difference that the new ROMS installation does is change the CWM Recovery version/Mod.

So basically, I am stuck at CWM Recovery Screen.

I am clueless and I will really appreciate any thing you can.

Any thoughts?

[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
nice read.

i agree that o2x is quite the killer pmp. only small downside is the damned stereo cross talk, but quite frankly i dont feel any absence of it, and gsmarena only rated the audio as "average" pff.

about voodoo though, its still not done, still.... so we have no features basically, just the amp, but it gets the job done.

PS i aproove your nickname ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Stonerboy779:
Thank you.

In all honesty I don't mind a little stereo crosstalk because in all seriousness you never in any other situation but headphones have two such isolated stereo channels. Also with gsmarena you need to keep in mind they've reviewed only the stock kernel I am going to see about getting some graphs and measurements of the O2X with voodoo.

It may not be done but its all I need/want I don't need to set bass boosts etc as its sound signiture is already close to that of my D1 I don't see myself ever wanting to use eq as it is I still haven't installed dsp pack for player pro.

The only things to be added here in the future is video playback with the HDMI out, scientific tests if I find a nice bit of free ware I can use to test range, accuracy etc, and possibly HDMI to coax splitter to steal the digital audio out for use with high end DACs. Right now in my eyes the O2X is the perfect platform for a high quality and very customized pmp.
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
An interesting read, We've got an old HTC hero and Tattoo and damaged advent vega kicking about that need a use, I'm also planning to get a nexus 4 so my o2x will need a use in 2 weeks. I've not used it much but the HDMI drinks battery so saying you might as well plug in the usb is a good idea. I might plug mine in to a TV in the bedroom and use it as a dlna and VOD player in there, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new dedicated device to do what could already do, may even see about a bluetooth media keyboard for it to control. I do still have my ipod classic that is easier to use but thats lasted 3 whole years so it's due a failure, at least with my o2x i could wipe it stick 32gb of memory in and load it with most of my music, could even make an adhoc network with my n4 when i get it to share the files on the memory card with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stonerboy779:
Definitely dedicate the O2X to media duties come upgrade then. I bought my O2X purely for media it is technically still functioning as a phone at the moment. But that is till I make my mind up on what phone I am going to next (my Xperia X10i got far to long in the tooth and a year at 20% OC has finally killed it haha). My rec is to use the Chuck Norris CM7 ROM because of the aroma installer which makes it really easy to remove everything that is not needed and if you remove the google apps suite too you can later add back google play from taesmaks CM7 rom.

Today I also discovered that the mic port on my laptop is **** ahaha went to run the rmaa tests but the amount of noise and distortion introduced by my mic port has rendered the tests useless. I will test again with my auzentech x-fi fote later on.
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
It's OT but whatever---

OC killing your X10i.

That is fairly interesting. I used Motorola Milestone as my personal phone since it came out till past november - roughly two and half yrs - and I had it OC'ed by some 45-50% most of the time 550@1,1GHz. But that was very okay. Yet as the end of lovely Milestone (heck I want qwerty CURRENT hi-end!) phone turned out damaged. It was the heat coming from CPU that damaged digitizer and screen.

I replaced digitizer but screen was too pricey for way old phone, so I did buy O2X... oh, well.

That said, Milestone still serves well as PMP for it has great music output and DLNA/remotecontroll (by app) capabilites. To be honest... actually... it serves the purpose here, as rather overkill alarm clock of sorts...:D
[LG Optimus 2x] everett_psycho:
Thanks stonerboy, I'll give that ROM a look when the time comes. Could make an interesting at thing when it doesn't matter if it has some down time while i inevitably brick it. A simple ROM with good battery life that can take a 32 or 64gb sd card is all I'll want instead of forking out £200 on an iPod. Between my squeezeboxes at home and mw600 j don't think I'll be needing iPod docks anymore
[LG Optimus 2x] dark_sat:
Aren't you annoyed by the noise the phone generates? You can clearly notice it when a small notification sound is played: it's mute, than the sound is played, you hear a static noise, than it goes mute again (turns off amplificaiton, I guess).

This is not present on the iPod (which I also own a 32gb 4th gen). Also, the overall quality is way better, there's no "extra bass or loudness" that I can notice with the 2X. Not to mention the battery drain... in airplane mode, no wifi, bluetooth, whatsoever, it spends battery like crazy, by just playing music. The iPod in the other hand...
[LG Optimus 2x] Stonerboy779:
Not sure what is up with your phone but I have not experienced any noises, have even played a flat track with no sound at all that I made. When played and ampped to the max i have to strain to hear any static or hum. Battery wise its doing damn well and has plenty of battery life for me definitely at a level comparable or even better than my iPod. Guess i could do a side by side and just play music at the same listening level once on loudspeaker and once on headphones just to see which goes longer in each situation.

I haven't noticed anything specifically about sound and notifications but with voodoo sound you can turn of the sound focus setting which alter playback when notifications come through. My notifications are also set to play through the loudspeaker and never the headphones but i'll change it to headphones and see if i can recreate your issue but as for you battery drain issue i have no idea why its so bad for you.

Hell i was streaming spotify for a few hours yesterday and used very little battery and that was even with extreme quality streaming on, bluetooth left on from when i had the radio on and i even have an oc and uv going. Further more I have limits set and when my screen is of my cpu speed can only go so high and will only be using one core so that may be another reason why my battery is good.

Just throwing things out there at the moment.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stonerboy779:
Glad I could inspire some people to do the same

I am unsure about 64GB sdcard compatibility though, has anyone ever tried any 64GB micro sd cards with the O2X? I do remember looking when I was still deciding which phone I wanted to turn into a pmp.
