What video playback software do you use ?

What GPU do you have ? Do you not have a dedicated GPU, only the one onboard the i7 ?

I don't even have an SSD and video pause/play/fast-forward is basically seamless - with DivX+ there's a small blip that's less than 1/4 of a second and with VLC it's seamless - I can skip around in the video with the same results and I just checked this on large HD files.

My desktop only cost $500 to build - less than retail cost of my S3.

Either perhaps you are missing a dedicated GPU or something else is going terribly wrong for you.

Or maybe you're using your phone a lot more than your computer. Plus, if you only use your computer for browsing and a spot of text editing, there's been no real reason to upgrade it in the last few years.
[General Topics] ihendraX:
Hardware of my Desktop is not an issue, GPU is GTX 460, drivers and software are allways up to date. Components are allways cool and clean :cool:

When watching a video, I use VLC but also tried every other video player (Gom, KMplayer, Winamp, Qiuick etc.)

My build costed me oround 2.300$, just housing with components inside, 2.5 years ago.

I still use PC more then mobile devices, but I can see how we will use mobile device all the time (like ubuntu desktop concept). Rendering and gameing are exceptions.

[General Topics] hoholee12:
reduced instruction set and complex instruction set processors are different.

RISC is an ordinary cpu that only allows one instruction per cycle(for example: ARM for smartphones, PPC for gaming consoles), while CISC is a cpu that allows multiple instructions to be run at the same time(x86 is a 40year old CISC architecture for IBM PS/2).

Thats why you dont get lags while running tons of stuff, overheads, and even malwares wouldnt badly slowdown your PC at all(based on which type of instructions that was used for base).

Your tegra 4, exynos 5, snapdragon s5 compared to pentium 3 or 4 is nothing.
[General Topics] vinadoros:
But this isn't entirely true. x86 was based upon CISC, but as the years went by, the makers of x86 CPUs (namely Intel, AMD, etc) reduced the set of instructions, and gave an abstraction of the CISC instruction set. They realized that less instructions would be more efficient at processing workloads. Our modern CPUs run alot more like RISC than CISC...

Possibly you mean that the x86 CPUs are more efficient because they process work Out of Order, which historically ARM cpus have not done...
[General Topics] hoholee12:
work Out of Order is possible because its CISC.

AFAIK, CISC works differently than RISC, but can be run like a RISC when using a better instruction type. Correct me if im wrong.
[General Topics] vinadoros:
Out of Order, as I can tell, isn't possible just because of CISC, but because of the pipeline coming into the processor from memory. The processor, without out of order, relies on fetching the instructions and inputs from memory, and if it doesn't get them, the processor waits for them. In out of order, if the processor gets inputs from other instructions beforehand, it'll do those instead of just stalling. Because of this, I suspect that the RISC vs CISC debate doesn't factor in here much, I think. If it can't get the inputs, it wont process the instruction, no matter how complex it was...

But yes, you're right that CISC can be run like RISC depending on the underlying instructions.
[General Topics] hoholee12:
It is because its a CISC.

All types of processors are directly connected to RAM with the "pipeline".

there are no other special things that comes in between.

It can do FIFO because it obviously can process multiple instructions at the same time and determine which goes first, duh.

My s4 is probably faster than my 2006 PC (e6400,2gb ram 6800gs), but wasn't faster than my 2007 pc (q6600,4gb ram, 8800gtx). I am not sure of ARM CPU and GPU can compare to standard x86 though

Best ARM chips out there can handle GTA vice city as well as 450Mhz single pentium III can.

Android Dalvik VM is also a problem. You get even less than the real performance of what your chip has.

result: Tegra4,Exynos5,snapdragonS5,omap5 = pentium IV.
[General Topics] xfim:
If that comparison is true, then how much could athlon 64 x2 6000+ brisbane 3.2ghz be better than tegra 4 etc. ?? Lol
[General Topics] hoholee12:
It is faster than tegra 4. You're comparing apples to oranges.
[General Topics] vinadoros:
But ARM processors have, with time, implemented out-of-order, even though being RISC (the first case of this is the A15, introduced in 2010). Being out-of-order increased the complexity of the chip (which probably increased power consumption), which is probably why the A15 is not used in our phones. However, it seems they have done it, irrespective of CISC and RISC...

ARM has historically been tailored to low power consumption. All of these features we take for granted on the desktop, are slowly making it to our phones, but the restrictions of power consumption mean that our phones will always be a little different (and probably slower) than our desktop counterparts. I have an old Athlon 64 3500+, but in some respects my phone (SGS3 att) is faster, but in alot of them, I would say the phone still won't beat the old processor. They were built for different purposes...
[General Topics] hoholee12:
FYI, if they have done that Out of Order, then A15 might be the new CISC design for ARM. It also means they are ditching RISC.

I guess it will be worth to watch the battle between intel atom and arm cortex a15 then:)

[General Topics] vinadoros:
I don't think they have changed their design from RISC to CISC though. If they change their instruction set, then one processor wouldn't be able to run programs compiled for the other processor (in the same way x86 programs won't run on ARM). Also, there aren't any reports of abstractions of RISC to CISC, nor have they opted for emulation. It seems like they did this using their existing RISC instruction set...

I guess the battle between the A15 and atom will rage on, but more in the server market. I don't follow what goes on there that much :silly:

The phones which we have right now are more powerful than super computers which existed a couple of decades back. But even then they lack the pure processing power given by much larger processors (Not to mention GPU's) of modern computers, even then, the really high end phones with QUAD cores and all are actually more powerful than alot of netbooks and older computers I've seen.
[General Topics] xfim:
Netbooks have mostly very small cpu+gpu chip which is made to use less power, just like SoCs for phones and tablets
[General Topics] hoholee12:
SoC and GPU integrated CPU are dfferent.

SoC basically has all system equipments such as wifi, bt, data, port, component manager, audio etc. while GPU integrated CPU is just a GPU integrated to a CPU.

there is no x86 based SoC for PC, so netbooks dont use SoC.

Only smartphones and tablets do.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Thats not how RISC and CISC works.

ARM and X86 have their own different architectures such as different binary codes, how does it stuff and load data etc.

RISC and CISC is a term, and changing from RISC to CISC or CISC to RISC isnt gonna affect anything.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] flooty333:
Hi all,

When I use the charger that came with the HTC One my phone charges great, rapid.

But when I use any other charger that I have in my home/office it charges very slow. Even with a 2.1 amp charger!

The charger that comes with the phone has an output of 1 amp.

I've tried multiple other chargers (1 amp and 2.1 amp) and they all trickle charge.

Anyone else noticing this?

Thanks

Joe
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Tanquen:
I'm using old charges at home and in the office and it did seems slow but had not heard of rapid charge. Will the phone indicate this rapid charge mode? If not, is it real?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ElBeaner:
I'm getting slow charging even on the stock HTC charger. Not sure how I can enable this rapid charge cause 4+ hours from 0-1% to full is a bit ridiculous.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nattoleon:
use orginal charger is best , maybe it has some relationship with your battery life
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sluflyer06:
If anyone is coming from phones with smaller batteries, remember the larger the capacity the long it takes to charge.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] veener79:
I use the cable and charger from my Nexus 7 and it charges fast. Off my USB it is slow.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] c5satellite2:
Real AC chargers have two pins shorted. You can hack a USB to micro USB cable and short the same two pins to enable AC charging with any adapter, wall, USB, or car. Should be pins 3+4, but don't hold me to that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jackchong0828:
Try to change your phone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Harbinger1080:
i've done exactly this, and damned if the One still refuses to draw more than ~500 ma off of anything but the 2.1 A wallwart it came with (i don't have any others to try with). i'm about to dig out an old inverter to see if that will actually work. wish i'd paid more attention to my EE dad when i lived at home; i've gotten a serious crash course in this stuff while trying to get my One to charge in my car, when it's on.

edit: so i got my old inverter out, and spent about 15 minutes testing. i used the 2.0A adapter that came with my Nexus 7 to test, as well as the 3.1A Mediabridge adapter i got here. my phone was at about 45% when i started testing. unplugged, Battery Monitor Widget reported a drain of anywhere between 500ma and 650ma (running Ingress, wifi on). plugged in to the Mediabridge adapter showed, at best, a drain of 50ma. the Nexus adapter plugged in to my inverter charged at a fairly consistent ~120ma. i didn't touch my phone the entire time.

i left my Nexus 7 at work so i can't use it to repeat the test, but i will do so tomorrow. the cable i'm using is this one. i'm not crazy about having a ridiculous DC-AC inverter in my car for my phone, but if that's what i have to do so it can be used and not drain, then so be it. admittedly, i don't really understand these things enough to explain these variations, but i plan on learning ASAP. perhaps somebody else can shed some light on why the device charges different, and how it identifies an AC-USB adapter vs a DC-USB adapter.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ElBeaner:
Math doesn't support what is happening though. Phone has a 2300mAh battery. The OEM charger outputs 1A (1000mAh)

At most, it should be around 3 hours for full charge, when in fact it is closer to 4-4.5 hours. It's the last 10% that is the issue, it will trickle charge to 100% rather than rapid charge.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Harbinger1080:
Yes, I think that's exactly what the HTC does... I read a pretty good article recently about Li-Ion batteries that talks about how trickle charging is the best for battery life, and it wouldn't surprise me if HTC got a little aggressive the way the this phone charges since we can't swap the battery ourselves.

I'm trying one last car charger, which matches the wattage of my Nexus 7's 5Vdc/2A AC adapter (which I've had the best luck with, when charging the phone while in use): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009TBF7IG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If that doesn't work, I'm going to put a 300W inverter in my car with the AC adapters themselves and stop buying stinking DC adapters. This phone clearly pays very close attention to the wattage available from whatever it's plugged in to.

Same here, 2a Nexus 7 brick with a long Logitech USB cable, much faster than stock (and longer)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerLhurgoyf:
I'm having a problem with the USB network connection and would appreciate any help to pinpoint the source of this bug.

I've made a similar post here after scanning through endless search results until I noticed the thread dealt about the Samsung Galaxy S III.

So here is the situation:

Enable USB Tethering in your phone

Start some FTP server on your host (in my case Win7 64 and FileZilla freeware FTP server)

Once windows complains it couldn't identify the network, mark it as home network

Start up FolderSync and setup a remote account on your USB-tethered FTP server.

Try to transfer some file to the server via USB tether network

At some point the transfer rate will suddenly stop and no more data is transferred. Both Android and Windows say the connection is still active but no bit can be transferred. After quite a while they say the connection is broken though.

What I tried so far:

Tried with Franco Kernel, Faux Kernel as well as Stock

Other FTP clients like AndFTP have the same problem, but are much slower. FolderSync gives me around 8MB/s.

The transferred test file weighs around 2GB. The most I got so far was 75%, but it always fails at a different position. Sometimes the connection stalls, then it recovers after a few moments, stalls again and then after a while it will die completely.

Any suggestions, ideas, solutions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peri.:
I know this thread is really old but... did you find a solution for this? I'm also interested in using the tether interface for file transfer but due to this bug, it's not a feasible method. It's a shame though, I get very good speeds :(

Old thread, but unfortunately without solution.

I'm now running Carbon latest nightly with FauxKernel with recommended tweak settings. It seems to happen not so often with it, but still occurs and the only solution seems to be to unplug and retether.

Only one problem - can not send e-mails.... for now I hope so.....

Does anybody on Fido (Microcell Canada) experiencing problem to send e-mail from XDA II (I-Mate PPC)?

I switched from Rogers to Fido last week, when Fido introduced CityFido and since then can not send even one e-mail. Yes, I can receive.. Yes, I am connected to GPRS and can successfully browse internet… and Yes, I am using SMTP = GPRS.FIDO.CA

Please HELP!!! Can not operate mobile otherwise :-(

Appreciate any ideas….
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] drj:
I would delete (remove) the email account in inbox and recreate it. It will download the mail again so you won't loose anything. Outgoing should be gprs.fido.ca Could be you have a rogers setting in there so deleting and recreating will make sure of that.

Also do not check the "outgoing mail does not require authentication".

Should do it for you.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] noviur:
hm... thank you everybody, one more time...

It was an interesting case, because as I mentioned earlier I did everything what DRJ recommended before opening this thread.

by the end of the story, before doing hard reset (since nothing else was fixing it) I decided to delete GPRS settings and EVERYTHING from e-mail client and try it to create everything from scratch after soft reset...

I am not sure if this is what fixed the problem or it was a coincidence together with something got fixed on Fido, BUT IT WORKED....

And Yes, you are correct - unlimited talking plus unlimited data - you cannot pass :)
