[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah and it feels much slower in real usage, so who cares about synthetic benchmarks?

Exchanging the DNA for the Note 2 yesterday was the best decision I've ever made. This thing absolutely smokes the DNA in real world performance, most importantly getting around the UI. And the battery life kills it too.

Other than the very sharp screen, the DNA has absolutely nothing going for it compared to other high end smartphones. Not to mention mediocre battery life and laughable storage space. Sense is still awful after all of these years as well. Very slow and heavy.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
agreed! benchmarks really dont mean much to me...and if i had to guess adrynalyne was just trolling because he hates these type of threads. the lg optimus g breaks 20k easily aswell but i would never own one.

actually i keep mine at stock clockspeed with powersaving turned on...plenty fast and it nets me killer battery life. currently at 18hrs up time, 4hr15min screen on, 53% battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
So that's your secret to getting 7-8 hours on screen time - power saver mode lol. How low does power saver mode clock down the max CPU speed to?

EDIT: Never mind. Power saver brings the CPU down to 1100 Mhz lol Gosh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
I think since Project butter, benchmarks and high power cpu's arent necessary. Unless you do a lot of gaming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
To each their own. I've had both, and I can tell you the Note 2 isn't faster. You just have to look past the animations speeds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
You do not agree that the DNA has higher benchmarks stock?

Alrighty then ;)

You got it, friend. That was exactly my stance :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
Ok, keeping benchmarks out of it, how is the DNA faster? In which areas? I have also owned both and it wasn't faster at all for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
The DNA's gpu is much better. I'm sure within the next couple of years that will show with games that will be coming out. On the other hand, I'm sure the Note 2 will still be able to play them with some settings turned down, and the DNA will only be able to hold a couple at a time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Like I said, to each their own. I didn't say the Note 2 was slower, nor did I say the DNA was faster. Read more carefully please and be objective.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
Yeah, I saw the Note 2 has the Mali 400 MP. Isn't that the same GPU that's in the Galaxy S3? If so, I wonder why Samsung didn't 'up' the specs in that department.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to yet another xda big **** contest! The rules are simple throw up some benchmarks results and flex that's all you have to do! Laos you can even get in on the contest. It should be very simple when Buying a phone are you happy with it? If yes awesome keep it if not return it. It's to easy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
Which do you use as your daily driver?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Note 2, because the app compatibility killed the DNA for me.

I returned the DNA about 3? weeks ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I don't care either (about the benches).

I get 18395 stock, so I am not going to split hairs by overclocking. Especially when it affects battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
Getting more benchmark scores on quadcore devices do not reflect much on real time performance, hence both DNA and GNote2 are already very fast phones. Besides, DNA doesn't have external memory slot and battery life is too shxxxty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnwaynegacy:
Mine is not, and probably never will be. I don't see the benefit.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

That is why I got a Note 2 instead of the DNA, much larger swappable battery, and room for my music... in fact I just swapped in my sd card. It was an easy choice. I am not a fan of samsung build quality (it feels like chintzy crap), but to be honest I am not a fan of build quality on anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
My phone is unlocked, but I rather prefer to keep my daily battery than macho performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
Macho performance is great for when you're at home on the charger, trying to get the best score. But I feel that real world performance is much more crucial to myself. But it's also nice knowing if I have to ramp up for doing a lot of tasks, I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arun01:
Ha nice thread but my GN2 out the box walks all over my Droid X that i had for 2 years lol.I used to be into benchmarks too but it did nothing for real world performance IMO. I don't ever plan on rooting my Note 2 because it puts out ...period. I think phones are getting to the point now that we don't really have to root. Just my 2 cents.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yep it does but the device still runs smooth. Im at 27hrs up time with 6hrs screen on, 32% battery left....pretty insane!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
Wow, you're right. 1100 Mhz doesn't seem to slow down the UI in this quad core beast lmao. Although, I did find when enabling the Screen Power Saving feature, the frame rates on scrolling are god awful. Project Butter is pretty much non existent. Who would want to lose all that butter? :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
I like both ... But I hate these threads lol it's a useless argument its all what you like. ... I've dusted my og droid off running bugless beast I dunt care my score was low I just like it lol

Depends. I have mine overclocked to 1800mHz 24/7. Its running at 1.2 volts max, and the CPU gets up to 70C max (from a 20 minute stress test) When I overvolted to 1.4 volts, it shot up to 80C within 3 minutes and started locking the CPU at 1000mHz so it could cool down.

Mine only gets warm from heavy use. Your mileage may vary.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xsycox:
Hi guys,

I just bought a new Coby Kyros MID8127 tablet (A8, Android 2.3) for my friend.

Now, I want to flash a custom ROM with JB on it, but I just did not find any ROM, CWM or tutorial for that here at XDA (or elsewhere).

Is it possible, that there is no custom ROM for that tablet to have?

Thank you in advance.

Greetings,

sYCO
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] leunam12:
I have the same tablet and I bought a custom ROM from the people at KTZ, however, I could not install this ROM successfully, in order to install it I had to take the tablet to factory reset state and then delete a bunch of system applications to make room for the new ROM because the ROM does not allow you to install it from a formatted system partition (it's more like an upgrade). But when I finally installed the ROM it wuold not boot a second time; what that means is that, after installation the ROM boots normally but if I reboot it gets caught in a loop where I just see a blue disk spinning and it doesn't do anything else and the only way to get it out of that loop is to connect the USB cable and boot to recovery via adb and restore the backup that i did before flashing the new ROM. I tried to get help from the guy who makes these ROMs but he wasn't very helpful. I followed all his instructions and always got the same result.

I managed to install manually most of the components of this ROM through a long process of trial and error and left out the components that make the tablet misbehave and now I have a hybrid on my tablet which works pretty well with the exception of the wifi. The wifi works but at times is painfully slow.

I tried other ROMs from Android Tablet forums (check here). There is an ICS Rom there (or more than one, I don't remember) and also a JB ROM for the 8127 but I could not make them work on my tablet. The ICS ROM installed fine and runs very fast but it keeps freezing so I uninstalled. The Jelly Bean did not install properly and it was very hard to get the tablet to a working state after it bricked.

That was a while ago and I haven't checked lately if there is something else out there.

Sorry, I gave that tablet back and cannot test it anymore. I rather recommend to buy an Ainol Novo 7 Crystal. It is cheaper, better and ****ing fast with a nice custom ROM support like CM 10, CM 10.1, Paranoid 3.0, Crystal-Fuse, ...

Btw, KTZ sucks totally.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dutchman:
Good day everyone,

When using my device in low light surroundings, i tend

to experience the brightness as too high, is there any

way of lowering the minimum brightness?

I'm running the note2core std kernel, stock debloated

dlk7 rom (rooted )

I have tried the following with ROM Toolbox pro;

Go to build.prop editor

Found the value "ro.lcd_min_brightness"

Standard value was 20, lowering this number did

nothing for me, i tried 15, 12, 5 and 0..

I have also tried lowering this value whike using

another kernel like stock, redpill and N.E.A.K.

And also not working on stock ROM..

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot:)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFrozen:
Screen Filter is good, but it doesn't really lower the brightness. It applies a filter which makes the display darker. Any screenshot you take will be darker. But other than that, it's perfect for low light situations :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0cha5hake:
I wondered this too and I'm surprised that there hasn't been a mod/tweak to allow you to get the brightness as low as possible without the use of apps. I've tried everything from editing build.prop to decompiling framework-res.apk, but nothing to seems to really work.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

I think it has more to do with the software than hardware.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeatCoal:
But on an OLED display, that's the same as lowering the brightness (although what you said about screenshots still stands)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
This is likely done on purpose. Imagine the frustration of going outdoors and your screen was set so dim that your phone is useless until you can see enough to raise the brightness.

People would be angry.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rendler:
+1 for lux, works on hardware level to lower brightness and not by just adding a darkening filter.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeatCoal:
Nope, lux definitely works by adding a filter in sub-zero mode. Not that this matters except when taking screenshots because as I said before, on an OLED screen this is essentially the same thing. But thanks for the recommendation, lux is a very nice app.

You could try edit the build. prop and set the minimum brightness level to something like 10. By default its 20. Quickest way I use is the build. prop Editor in rom toolbox.

The bug which I was mentioning several times here and on my local forums: swapped stereo channels when recording video: left is right and right is left. Someone will say to hold phone upside down but then complete picture on PC is rotated by 180 degrees. This bug was also mentioned on XDA for S2 and Note 2 devices (after upgrade to ICS) and discussion was left without proper solution.

This bug is still present on the latest 4.1.2. although someone wrote that Samsung told him/her that this will be corrected in future versions (6 months ago).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahumi:
Hi everybody

Since one week or so, my phone suddenly crashes for no reason. I'm just typing some message in WhatsApp for example and it crashes. No other apps are running, besides stuff like facebook and avast mobile security. When I try to power it on again, the battery is at about 1% or so (dropped from like 90%!!!) which means, that the phone turns off again very soon.

I can repeat this very often by now, so this phone is at the moment quite useless.

I found out that this doesn't happen, when the phone is charging or connected to PC. When it turns off and I connect it to the PC or charge it, it has about 70% battery (before more than 80%). So there is also a battery drain, but not that high...

I'm running Slim Bean 3.1 with no changes at the UV/OC-settings and other Kernel-settings and stuff. No other Kernel installed than what Slim Bean does.

So my question is: What can I do? Is my battery broken or is it something else?

I bought it like 1 year ago, so I can still send it back.. Just in case the phone is broken.

Oh, i forgot to tell that I can still go to Recovery or Download-Mode. If that might help...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkm9139:
Weird stuff you got here...

I think there's an issue with the battery chip. The sgs2 has a chip that calibrates the battery without the need of an app (although it takes several times to completely calibrate your phone) and if it's broken the phone will think the battery is dead when there's in fact a lot of juice left or overestimate it.

The best way and what i'd do if you still have your warranty is to reflash the stock rom (the one that was on your phone when you first bought it), use an usb jig to reset the flashing counter and then send it to samsung.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
The crashing stuff... Try fixing permissions from the recovery. Wipe caches and data for the apps that crash.

As for the huge drain in battery (although from 90% to 1% is most likely an exaggeration, but i get the point ;)), it's normal.. Usually happens when you reboot at <= 40% battery, but can occur at higher percentages too... Its a hardware thing... No solution... Only thing is that if you use extweaks/stweaks there is an option to reset fuel gauge, which I believe does something :P

i have had this very same problem this is how i fixed it however bare in mind i am running stock 4.0.4.

first charge your phone to 100percent

backup, backup, backup a nand backup is always a good idea

go to recovery and clean you battery stats, clear cache, clear dalvik, fix partitions "do not delete the actual rom on the phone" also before doing any cleans if your running 4.0.4 do research because the stock kernel combined with cleans from recovery will BRICK YOUR PHONE

reboot the phone

turn the phone off and remove the sd card

turn on the phone, go to settings / storage, perform a format usb storage, next go to backup and reset and perform a factory reset.

let the phone reset.

this should fix your problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ralmslb:
Hi there guys,

First time here.

My problem is similar and for the ones saying the we are exaggerating I can tell you we are not. I have prints but I dont know to add them here with the app.

So the problem, my S2 is using samsung rom for android 4.0.4 (the oficial one and the phone is not rooted). And the phone crashes when under stress and the battery goes from wherever the level is, from 40% to 90%, to 1%. Then if you let the phone off for like 20min it recovers to like half of what it had before crashing.

What I mean with under stress is normal things such as browsing the web.

One thing to notice is that if the phone is connected to the charger it doesnt crash ever. Does that mean that the battery is faulty or is that controller chip? Should I send it to warranty?

Thanks all and make me less of a noob =)
