[Nexus 7 General] gianptune:
Apple treats every mobile product as a flagship. This is part of their business model; their newest product is always the best, and better than anything else they have to offer. This is how they continue to jack up the price and convince people to keep paying for it. "Well, I paid $700 for the last iThing, and they say this one is better. It must surely be worth the $800 they're charging."

On topic, I think nVidia is playing some numbers game with this 72-core gpu. The same way HDD makers sell a 1TB drive that really has 850GiB of space. The same reason your internet company measures their speed in Mbits instead of Mbytes, while it is impossible for them to transfer a single bit. They use some linguistical magic so they can use bigger numbers to describe the product.
[Nexus 7 General] djdunn:
I have to agree, its a numbers game. Anyone remember when amd spanked intel at lower clock speeds?

Not to mention "core fatigue" how many threads can one program run before the complexity makes it unmanageable? Before race conditions become a nightmare? I hit race conditions while compiling with 4 cores 5 jobs with gcc, not very often but it happens and simply trying again without any changes works..

With apple you get a one size fits all, "designer" device. You're buying "apple" brand. Yeah apple can make some good quality products and can even make some revolutionary ideas, but so does Louis Vuitton.

Is it worth the extra 600$ to stamp an apple on it?

Im using the latest version of TWRP recovery and have been for some time. But I just got a new 64gb sd and TWRP wont recognize it because its exfat. I did try reformatting the sd card to fat32 using mini tools partition wizard and a couple of other programs, even tried it from command promt but after changing it to fat32 my phone would say the card was damaged. Long story short my phone for whatever reason does not like fat32 so im forced to find a recovery that will work with it. So I go to the cwm website and their link to download 6.0.2.3 touch is screwed and has been for sometime now. So here are my questions for some of you guys that may have dealt with this already...

1. What touch recovery will work with exfat preferably cwm if not twrp?

2. Is it safe to install cwm using rom manager because I have heard many horror stories?

3. If not rom manager where can I find the latest cwm touch that will work with exfat because I also read somewhere that the newest cwm doesn't do exfat either?

4. I have cwm touch 5.8.4.5 recovery img is it safe to use root explorer to create a tar. Ive created a tar before but never with root explorer?

Im on jellybean 4.1 ATT firmware, basically stock with the exception of being rooted with TWRP recovery and a audio mod installed. I have researched this but with no real definitive answers. Alot of opinions but no real answers from experience.....

Thanks ahead of time for any help.... its not like me to ask questions. If you dont believe me ask the guys in the skyrocket forums. It wounds my pride to ask so you can bet im at a point whether I had rather ask than just do and screw up then have a bigger mess lol....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
I've just conducted a series of tests (just tracing the movement using the dev tools->show traces) and I've noticed the screen is much less responsive when I'm charging the phone. I have no idea why this is happening. I'm using the charger on my tablet, and it doesn't have the same effect. The tablet is just as responsive as usual. The charger I'm using is the one which came w/ the phone.

Issues: you have to hold down for longer to register touches. This messes up w/ typing. Also it sometimes lets go of a touch before you remove your finger. Quite annoying. There's also quite a bit of general lag: the keyboard stays up for a second before going away, home screen takes a bit to load up icons or widgets.

The second you remove the charger, it goes back to normal response. Quick screen response, no system lag, nothing negative.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Known issue with many devices. One of the custom kernels (might be siyah, can't recall just now) even has custom touch sensitivity settings for when the device Is plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eyalkn:
Another cause of lagg when charging is choosing a battery icon that has a charging animation in the status bar. I have a S3 and it becomes very laggy with the charging animation so I chose a simple battery icon that doesn't have any charging animation and now it is the same speed when charging or not charging.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
Has anyone developed a solution to Google Navigation requiring internal GPS to be enabled for initial use? I use an external antenna when driving to save on battery, and Google Maps and Navigation both recognize and correctly receive the data, but when first opening Google Navigation it won't let me continue to navigation unless I enable internal GPS. Sure, I can enable it and then quickly disable it, but I have to do this each time I leave the program to open another and it gets aggravating and is an unnecessary distraction while driving. I'd like Google Navigation to be made to think internal GPS is enabled so I can enter and leave the application with ease. I've searched both Google and these forums but it doesn't seem as though anyone has tackled this issue yet. Did I just miss the thread?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
What about an nfc sticker. It could be programmed to toggle gps. They even make key chain ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
I never thought about that. Good idea. But wouldn't turning it on and off simply to open up Google Navigation constitute nearly the same thing since the toggles are readily available on the phone already (and by relation, on my head unit)? Perhaps something can be rigged with Tasker to toggle the GPS while opening up Google Navigation, though I'd prefer a simple application with an always on feature so I don't have to worry about it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagha:
Back-story: Started on ICS (4.0.4), rooted, did OTA to Jelly Bean (JB) and lost root.

Followed the full video here: How to Root the Droid Razr HD on Jelly Bean and went back to ICS, got root.

Now, when I try to OTA to JB, after the reboot, I see an Android lying on it's back with a red exclamation mark. When the phone finishes booting and I'm back home, I see a message that says "Software update failed" (or something close to that).

What further stinks is that as I try to make tweaks w/ Superuser, Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, etc., I have to download the full update every time!

Any idea on what might be happening and how to trace down a fix?

Update w/ Fix: I fixed my problem (luck) and thought I'd come back to update for anyone that might be encountering the same.

When following the video mentioned above, i used Matt Groff's 1.10 utility found here. In this version of the utility, there's the following option:

I think I made the mistake of installing this before the upgrade back to JB. For the fix, I did the following. Re-activated root using RootKeeper, went into Safestrap, did "Uninstall Recover" (since I'd installed one earlier) and then deleted the Safestrap app.

The only other things I did:

- Turned off USB debugging

- Made sure my USB cable wasn't connected

Regarding these last two, I don't know if they made any difference, but that was the state when I tried the OTA update again when it succeeded.

Or even omega rom with a performance kernel like siyah...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seicer:
The idea is not to use custom roms, I prefer to use samsung roms as they're more stable and battery friendly in my experience. By the way, now I'm using the new XXELLC, it's extremely fast and it has a couple of new features... BUT the lag with some of the stock android apps like the phone, contacts or similar is still there. I mean, it's like it takes too much to load the app to the ram, because once the app is loaded, then it starts fast. I don't want to wipe the data because I'm too lazy to restore the apps and their data... lol :D

Custom ROMs and kernels are definitely more stable, faster and better battery!

Use Jkay mod if rooted to keep the apps in memory!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
custom ROMs never have been, and never will be, more stable than stock
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habylab:
Completely disagree. Install custom ROM and increase voltage, 100% more stable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
you don't know what stable means, do you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habylab:
Yep, and voltage will make it more stable. Plus, stock means more likely to be less updated. Unless you are rooted you're almost certainly behind. Won't be able to take a hold of latest performance increases and fixes either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Voltage will only make it more stable if the cpu manufacturing defect is above the threshold for normal operations and Samsung's quality control failed to detect it (which is not that uncommen, cpu's are very hard to test, especially in such large numbers)

Usually crashes are caused by software.

Sammy-based roms can be more stable if eg they include a kernel with fixes/bypasses for bugs found in real-world conditions.

At one point Samsung will release a fix but with carriers and ota that may well take weeks to propagate.

First off I'm on Virgin Mobile.

Using team d.i.r.t aokp (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831841)

the sprint visual voice mail app works as intended.

Using the same apk and install method on CM10 gangnam style (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873926)

everything appears to work. The messages show up, it says it's provisioned, but the messages don't actually play.

It appears to try to play, but will just skip through the whole message quickly without playing any audio.

I want to use cm10 rather than aokp because there are a few differences that make it better for me. And I would really like to get the vvm working because without it I don't get a notification of a voicemail.

I tried to use google voice as a substitute but virgin mobile doesn't support call forwarding so it can't work.

Is there any way to get this to work on CM10 gagnam style? I really like the rom and its the only thing that does not work properly.
