[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Felt I should post in here to clear some things up.

I've been working in the computer industry as a hardware guy for about 15 years now and one thing has been consistent almost all the way through: benchmarks matter if used correctly. 3DMark is almost a household name for us PC guys and it has been around for more than a decade. It has always been the go to tool to measure a computers ability to render graphically intensive applications. And their tests are notorious for being particularly brutal when they first launch.

What I'd take away from the Android version of the benchmark is that it just came out and as such is designed to pretty much butcher hardware. So long as we aren't too far off from other high end flagship devices in score then I'd pay it no mind. Now if other hardware is substantially faster than ours then I'd be concerned. The key to benchmarks is that you are running a consistent test that WILL show the performance difference between various hardware configs and software versions. This DOES matter. If it didn't then we could all hold hands and sing songs around a campfire as all our phones are created equal. That's not reality and benchmarks like 3DMark aim to visibly show those differences.

Also keep in mind when they release a build of 3DMark they set it up to be slightly future proof out to about 2 years. This means the program has to be intensive enough that it can still fully utilize hardware that hasn't been released yet and will likely be magnitudes faster than what's in our hands today.

As far as our phones being slow or maybe needing an upgrade, pay no mind. This phone is still top tier today and only a select handful of devices out perform it. But please don't dismiss benchmarks as not mattering. Especially this one. It certainly does matter, maybe not to some people but that doesn't make it any less valid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Well put. You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. If never understood why people say they don't matter. I'm not big on running or following scores, but I do peek every now and then at the benchmark threads.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dakota0206:
This is exactly why I posted. I left the OP vague to spur conversation.

The only thing I found odd is the Note 2 scores at the bottom of the scale, roughly 3300. The HTC One X scores at the top, 11000+. Its a huge gap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zeroxg4:
OMG ITS SAPS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tornlogic:
Definitely not what I want to see. I'm looking to upgrade from my Rezound soon to a N2 primarily for gaming.

Here is my score on my Rezound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Tegra 3, it has a beast of a GPU. Nvidia has been dominating the GPU market on desktops for years now, it's a known fact that they also dominate the smartphone and tablet scenes as well. If you look around you can see several Tegra3 optimized games that have substantially greater visuals. It is just the way it is. Perhaps the Exynos 5 and Mali 500+ GPU will see a significant increase. I am counting on it.

No problem man. I just like to keep things factual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] saps:
It's me. Finally ditched the fascinate last month. Loving the GN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
But with most of those tegra optimized games, you can fool them into using the better graphics on a non tegra phone. And it still runs good on my evo 3d and my note 2.

And the note 2 is much closer if not on top on all other graphic benchmarks.

It's been my experience that 3dmark has always shown nvidia products to be faster even though on actual games an ati can have better frame rates. It seems that 3dmark has once again targeted and optimized for nvidia
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vortmax:
Read this:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6875/3dmark-for-android-performance-preview

It will explain why the GN2 does poorly in the GPU tests and excels in the CPU tests.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fozzir:
Play Need for Speed Most Wanted on this thing, it ROCKS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yep good link.

Looking at the CPU tests is more important than the GPU tests for me. Almost everything in Android is CPU bound instead of GPU. It's only when you start playing graphically intensive games that the GPU starts to take a toll. That being said, Samsungs Exynos processors are still imho the fastest chips on the market. Keep in mind that the Exynos 4 is pushing over 2 years old. Look around at other devices/chips that are 2 years old and see how well they stack up against the chip in our phones.

I'm greatly looking forward to the Exynos 5 with the 4 Cortex A-15 cores. That thing is going to be a beast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
Amazing how much better, faster, and smoother it ran on AOSP. My score was over 1000 points higher. I believe I was in the mid 3's with Beans 12 and well over 4k on Carbon. Bummer the battery life is awful on AOSP.

:?

My XDA appears to be sending two copies of a text message when I send it.

I'm running Radio 4.21.00 CE 4.01.00 on an O2 device, i've been through all the menus I can think of but can't see anything...

Could it be something to do with having / not having +44 infront of the phone number i'm sending to.??

Cheers

Neil
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] coercri:
I had this happen to me just around Christmas time (about 3 days after I had the phone), anyone I sent messages to received 2, 3 or even 4 messages.

I contacted my provider and they said this can happen when the network is very busy (I thought it would be dropping them), but low and behold after the XMas period was over it all come back to normal.

I don't think I was actually sending 2 messages as I would only get one "Message Sent" notification come up, and only one delivery cofirmation received back.

If this is your experience then it is the network, if the problem is otherwise, sorry I can't be of anymore help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] gazzaman2k:
ive also had this running v4,21 radio and v4,01.00 tmobile s/w had it on v4.00.05 too i could send to most of my mates it would go blub messege sent only 1 credit taking.......

then for some reason only one my my mates numbers it takes about 3 x credit says balance is blar blar then again and again then all of a sudden messege sent. they are on o2 and so am i but she doesnt seem to receive them :\ this is only say like 5-10 caharacters long in the message so way under 1 text but i dont understand what the hell its upto yet all my other mates ones work fine :\ :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] AdamLange:
yes...same problem

Im using 4.00.005 with radio (listed below) and got same problem, when i send sms message to someone it recieves 2 or even 3 copies... i dont think network is so busy to send them twice or 3 .... maybe some fix ? or WM2003 error? HELP!

Monika u got this problem too?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Swifty:
Anyone managed to find a fix for this, or figure out why it could be happening ??

I hard reset last night to try and resolve the problem, but everyone is still getting two copies of any text messages i send them :roll: :(

Cheers

Neil
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Swifty:
Ok, I may have found a work around for this..

It seems to send two copies when I tap "send" then tap the "X" before I have got the "message sent" popup.

If I wait until that pop's up then click the "X" it only seems to send one copy..

Are you guys that were having problems using any software that makes "X" actually close rather than minimize ??

(I'm using PocketPlus)

Cheers

Neil
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] gazzaman2k:
i use pocke tplus too but i dont close it or nothing.... i just hit send it got blip chows credit blip shows credit again blip shows credit then message box saying message sent but it cost me like 30p for one bluddy text :\

[General Questions and Answers] YabeMadu:
Hi,

I need some advice.

I bought a HTC One X from Expansys Japan in June 2012 with additional Expansys warranty. When I bought the phone I was aware that there is no HTC service center in Japan so for any issues I need to send the phone to Expansys HongKong.

I developed an issue with the phone about a month after receiving it. I sent it to HK and they promptly repaired in sent back.

Then in January this year the phone started giving more problems and I sent it back. Its been 7 weeks since I sent it back and the response has been very bad. They do not reply to emails or respond when called.

Finally today I received a reply after I sent a strongly worded email. They said the phone is too difficult to repair so they will send me a replacement phone. I was happy.

Then they sent me the following confirmation mail:

Thank you for using eXpansys!

The replacement is ready now.

But as it is a B-stock (a new phone but opened box) with

a tiny scratch on the screen, we would like to provide a

screen protector for free.

We will arrange shipment within today and inform you tracking number later.

Thank you

My question is, can they do that?

Can they send me a damaged phone? I paid full for a brand new phone and now they are sending me a damaged phone as a replacement.

Is this acceptable?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II General] teedubz:
Hey Guys,

I thought it would be nice to add what I think are the current best camera apps for our phones :

Pudding Camera : Like hipstamatic, but the full screen uses the filter that is applied, and this is done in realtime

360 panorama : Does the job nice and easy

Pro HDR camera : Not as good as the Iphone version, but still takes good HDR pics

These ones I use daily apart from 360.

Others that are great, are :

PS touch ( for tweaking pics)

Pixlr (lovely filters) there as so many filter apps, but after a awhile they all start looking the same and I just use one now!

Photofunia (classic images to add your face to and the pictures look pro)

I'm still looking for an 8mm style video app, that actually looks good. Had 8mm and others and Iphone and still miss em

Any thoughts or additions to these apps would be great!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stran0014:
So I'm trying to go all dictator-ish on my phone and battery and came across an idea.

It's an at&t htc one x, I'm wanting to disable the magnetic field sensor in this phone..

According to AndroSensor, the magnetic sensor is drawing 5.0mA on standby. Well you know every little bit helps right?

I'm trying to find a way to disable this sensor completely since I don't use it..

-(etc: barely ever use maps or a car dock with a magnet to let the phone know it's in a dock and to engage car dock mode.)

I can't seem to find any apps that let me turn off the sensor and even went as far as looking for the sensor's name and going into the phones filesystem and trying to delete the sensor's important files but they just end up coming back..

Figured xda would be able to help me.. so um.. any suggestions?
[HTC One X+] OhAnton:
Hi, I got the 3200 mAh mugen power case for my HTC One X+.

My question is, do you always leave the case on like I do?

Or is it safer to leave the case off until the phone is less than 12% battery, charge the phone using the case, and power the case off again?

I looked everywhere online and I can't seem to find the answer.

Thanks

guys. Before you go to far with insulting devs let me remind you that these devs are working for free on their own time and share their works with your all. They don't owe you nothing. You have no right to tell them what they do or don't.

If you want latest and greatest you are going to deal with issues. Or you can use the stock based ones that are great but less bleeding edge features. Either way please be respectful to those who work hard for us beside they have their family to take care of.

Back to the subject please try either synergy rom or hyperdrive rom for multiview rom. They work real well. But for stable stock based try infamous rom.. Hope this help.

we are all Noobs at XDA. please help each other.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kkoolpatz:
This is a tutorial for setting up crontab on Samsung Galaxy Note II. This is intended for native unix users to be able to use cron on their phones for scheduling various tasks such as reminders, backups, scheduled reboots, wifi on-off, etc.

Installation Instructions:

What you need:

Rooted Galaxy Note II with latest busybox installed

Ability to run scripts at startup [not required if you are willing to manually start crond every time you reboot.]

Step 1: Create a directory /data/root, and create a text file name root inside it. Your cron entries should go inside /data/root/root.

Step 2: Download the attached crontab.sh and place it in your mobile phone. You need to execute this script on startup. So if you have /etc/init.d folder, please it there. If you dont, you should contact your dev to check if your rom supports executing user scripts on startup.

Step 3: Understanding the (attached) script.

Any unix program including crontab references a users details from the /etc/passwd file. So we create a passwd file with root user's credentials. (Android does not have this by default).

Crontab is a compiled binary that looks for sh shell in the directory /bin/sh - a standard for unix. Unfortunately bin directory is inside /system in our phones, so we symlink it.

Set Timezone. TZ variable is sources by crontab to know the local timezone. Please modify the script to set it according to your location.

And finally, crond -c /data/root will start cron daemon on your phone sourcing crontab files from /data/root directory.

Step 4: Write your crontab file (Below is a typical crontab file). Please visit this link for an awesome tutorial on crontab.

[B]android@192.168.1.104:/data/root # cat /data/root/root[/B]

# Script to make sure crontab is running
* * * * * echo "Crontab last ran on `date`" >> /storage/sdcard0/.crontab

# Script to backup whatsapp databases at 5 am everyday.
0 5 * * * cp /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/* /storage/extSdCard/backups/whatsapp/

### FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ###

How to make sure it is working

In terminal - type pgrep -l crond (lower case L). If it return a process id and command name, crontab is running. If you see more than one "crond" running, it is likely that executed your script twice. kill the other script using command kill -9 <process id>

[*]My tasks are executing twice

Please re-read FAQ #1.

[*]It stopped working after i rebooted my phone.

You are probably not executing this script on startup. Reread this thread properly again.
