This is going to be very useful, But I have more than 350+ apps, It is not easy to swipe from side and go over all the apps to select one required. It will be great users can organise swiped [MENTION=1370904]ppd[/MENTION]rawer as tabs. These tabs can be renamed by users (games, communications etc etc) where apps can be grouped under tabs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
As my signature shows, I have two phones with two services.

Obviously a Maxx on Verizon and my N4 on TMobile.

Basically 100% of everyone I know knows the phone number to the Maxx.

Although I like my N4 better in the looks and performance department.

Is there a way to forward all calls and texts from my Maxx to my N4 so I don't have to carry both all the time?

Hi All

I have seen that the new 2GB MMC 4 card has been released by Pretec?

It is ment to be the fastest flash memory in the world. hear are the speeds:

Read: 22.5MB/s

Write: 18MB/s

Does any one know if this new MMC 4 cards will work in our XDA II's it says it should work in most SD/MMC slots around today... but regarding speed do you know if we would see any speed increases from SD with this new MMC???

http://www.pretec.com
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
from tests at least with sd cards the xda2 dont handle all that well compare to most other pocketpc's also worse then xda1 which dont use

the poor internal sd interface that xcale have

you can benchmark using pocketmechanics

and try doing a search people have been posting benchmarks they made with the xda series
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fudgebottom:
Thanks for the reply Rudegar...

Does any one else know any info on the new MMC 4 cards???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well i would asume that they should work

but are they not a bit on the expensive side ?

i mean even with the extre speed if it would help

their price are pretty high

compared to some a few 256MB sd cards

and i dont have any serious issues even with my really really really

slow sandisk sd cards
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Xant:
Die MMC 4 Standard defines 4bit in parallel for data-transmission while AFAIK the MMC has only 1 bit data serial for data.

So it is likely, that it will not work.

Alex
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
but i'm pretty sure that sd also use 4bit in parallel

but i think the problem with the xda2 is that it's internal xcale interface is a mmc interface which is compatible with sd not the other way around

this is also one of the reasons the xda2 have a slower sd interface then xda1 where it have an external chip because the arm200 dont have that mmc internal interface like xcale400
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cchris:
So MMC are not necessary slower than SD?

Hi...

after reading about the new pretec card I went back to read the articles/posts regarding the difference between MMC and SD...

http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,39001709,39008492-2,00.htm

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7901&start=0

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=5513&highlight=sd+mmc

So, if I undestand well now, MMC are not necessary (by definition) slower than SD (this Pretec is faster than the Panasonic?) and not necessary smaller than SD... the only difference boils down to the SD feature...

Rudegar (first all thank you for all the help you are giving in this forum... you are of great example! :wink: ) what do you use your SD card for? In particular, do you watch compressed movies on your XDA without any problems in term of speed?

Finally on SD vs MMC...:

-why do u think Pretec made the 2GB card MMC instead of SD?

-why do you think expansys is pricing MMC higher than SD (look at 256 and 1GB)

http://www.expansys.com/d_storage.asp

so it is not even true that MMC are cheaper than SD...

Mentioning Expansys... what are the best places on the web:

-with widest variety (expansys has recently cut a lot... there are no Panasonic etc... anymore...)

-with the past price (I want to buy one finally!!!)

Thanks,

Chris
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i use my sd card mainly for music and a few programs that eat too much space and ebooks and a few video's mainly to brag :P

in terms of speed then i sometimes get nonsync audio on larger video clips

and when i tried journalbar i had sound clickings so i had to turn it off to listen to music (but i'm not 100% sure that was because of sd speed and not just journalbar acting strange)

and then of cause i use my sd for getting files from a pc that dont have a cradle or other sync cable

using the sandisk cruzer if it dont have a sd reader already
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] madkat:
I find my battery goes down much faster with the 256Mb SD card plugged in - would a faster 2Gb MMC card require more power, 1. for higher transfer speeds and 2. for keeping powered up?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cchris:
Thank you Rudegar!

Good point Madkat...

maybe some with a 1GB memory card who has tried the 256 before can answer us... but I think it would be easier if you open a new thread... something like "SD Card bigger = more power consuption?"
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jesal:
hmmm well. i am expecting my new xda 2 on sunday was thinking of gettin a new mmc on it. whts the max. it supports plz confirm. also whts the standard memory on the phone itself.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
I have 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB SD cards. While I do not have any empirical data to prove it, I do not see any difference in battery consumption between any of the cards. BTW - I have 32, 64 and 128MB MM cards as well.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] madkat:
BRosenow: Any chance you could do a little testing, like leaving MMC & SD cards of same capacity in overnight, and a high capacity SD overnight, and checking the new battery % in the morning? Would be greatly appreciated :-)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
I'll give it a go and let you know what I have discovered in a couple of days!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fudgebottom:
How did the testing go?

How did you go with your testing BRosenow??

Cheers!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Thanks for reminding me. My testing was inconclusive, but there does not seem to be any consistent difference in power drain between the different sizes of SD/MMC cards.

I used the same procedures each night - when I got home from work I put my imate in the cradle to be sure it was powered up to 100%. At 10:00PM I inserted the SD/MMC card and soft-reset the device then placed it on the desk beside my laptop. At 6:00AM I turned on the device and read the meter (using the battery meter in SPB Pocket Plus 2.0) and recorded the % of battery power remaining. My first tests were as follows:

1GB SD 89%

512MB SD 92%

256MB SD 91%

128MB SD 86%

64MB MMC 89%

I was interested to see if the same card consumed the same amount of power each time, so I tried my 1GB SD again, and this time 91% was remaining in the morning.

Other things have kept me from continuing the testing, but my conclusion is that battery drain is not linear based on expansion memory size or type and is influenced by unknown factors, but the precision of the Pocket Plus battery meter could certainly be a factor.

Thoughts?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
try leaving it in fligth mode

since variations in signal str's can cause more or less

power requirements depending on how much work the

gsm part is doing that night
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
I can see that your suggestion is a good idea, though I do not think it would make an appreciable difference in the outcome. A total spread of 6% with the given test parameters, particulary given that a distinct trend was not obvious, does not lend itself to indicate a practical difference in power consumption between types of cards or size of cards. (IMHO :oops: )
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
yeah i just talked about one way to make it a tiny bit less unpredictable

5% is always called the stat error margin and 6% is soo close i doubt there is any relation because size and power requirements

maybe the result would differ a bit if the card were being access'd

not sure doubt there is a world of difference because

these types of cards are used in a world of devices where many i'm sure have amp limiters on their sd power curcit to make sure that a camara malfuction would not kill the sd card

so if like a 512MB card required that much more power then a 64MB card

then many cam's mp3players and ..... would be incompatible with those larger cards
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Agreed.

I was tempted to write a little script/batch file that would access a file stored on the card at regular intervals, but I just cannot conceive that there will be a measurable difference, so I didn't bother.

At this point I believe that access times are a more important decision variable in which type/size/brand of card to buy than is power consumption.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] zakeen:
@BRosenow

Are all the cards you tested made by the same company?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
The 1GB, 512MB and 256MB SD are all Sandisk. The 128MB SD is Lexar and the 64MB MMC is Panasonic.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] r1kde:
I was reading this post and was wondering why would a larger memory use more power. I am sorry to your thoughts but I can't see that you would even notice any extra power consuption. I have not noticed any. the thing is that its got no moving parts so its low anyhow, and then when you think about it there is no major difference between the actual chip.

funny kind of thing to talk about (power consuption) but i suppose my input is I have not notice anything to shout about.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well the reason why people think it could take more is

like if you take a mem block from a computer

they often have more mem chips if they are larger

and more chips require more power

and i suppose the reason why people worry about it is that they like for their batt to last as long as possible and if removing mem cards when they are not being used give more batt time or using 2 smaller cards then one big give them more batt time they may choose to do these things
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Yes, I agree with Rudegar here - if our beloved 2s had a battery with twice or three times the capacity that they do, this aspect of this thread would not have been raised. With the battery capacity they have, particularly for those who use their devices agressively (lots of PDA and phone time), anything that might be costing an inordinate amount of power should be looked at and adjusted if possible.

It seems to me to have been a reasonable question - Does a memory system which is 2, 5 even 10 times the size consume

any

more power. Even more possible, does a memory system which is purported to support "cryptographic security for protection of copyrighted data" consume more of the precious resource?

To me r1kde, the bottom line is - where is the harm in considering an interesting question?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] madkat:
Why would a larger engine use more petrol?

As was said before, more chips = more power. Even if you stick with 1 chip, you have to keep a greater number of 'flipflops' powered.

However, it would seem that with MMC/SD (and presumably most other Flash-based devices) only the bits which need to be read/changed are powered up as and when required - which is different to RAM which has to be kept 'alive' to prevent the data from disappearing (which is the case in the main memory of the XDA/2 - and why there's a very short term backup battery for if you want to change the main battery.)

Flash is slower, but the data stays there. RAM is faster, but volatile.

If RAM could be made Non-Volatile without using batteries, PCs would be able to boot in a matter of seconds.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lukasz:
I agree with the last post, If I can change the scope of the discussion a bit - Brian did you compare the read/write speed of the different cards? Do you have guys any experience with so called 45x cards ? are they any faster on XDA II than the regular cards? any XDA II related test site for SD cards speed? Lukasz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fudgebottom:
Hi all

Looks like my post has gone a litte out of topic (Interesting replys but not really what I was looking for)

I am wondering if I should purchase a 1GB MMC card or a 1GB SD card... does any one know the speed diferences... Pro's and Cons????

Cheers in advance!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
hmmm i dident see any 1GB at their site only the 2GB

it would prob be very expensive compared to the 1GB SD

it would prob be faster in a SDcard reader but i think that the IO interface of the xda would be the limiting factor

i'm not sure if it's compatible with the xda series

you can search around for benchmarks of sd cards and compare them with the specs of the card (seem to recall it dont live up to those specs irl in some tests)

you can use pocket mechanics to make some benchmarks yourself

i would never in my vildest dreams pay that kind of money for such a card

heck i would even get 2 256MB over a 512MB card because 512 is alot more then double the price of a 256
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fudgebottom:
Hi Rudegar

I can get both MMC and SD cards for about the same price for the 1GB cards... or might even consider the 512MB cards both MMC and SD are roughly the same price range (with in $+-10 of eachother most of the time)... I've been looking for bench marks all over the net but unfortunatly it's quite a chanenge trying to find "True" Benchmarks of the new MMC cards vs the SD cards...

and I also wanted to see if it was possible if any one in the XDA forum had acualy purchased a new MMC card and could let me know the sppeds they are getting with it. I have been VERY disapointed with my SD card in the XDA so far... but I guess I just never realized how slow SD cards where I always thought they would not be far off flash memory (USB Style, though it was more the interface slowing it down and now the chips.) But well all learn this is not the case with the SD cards (They are quite slow flash cards)...

If any one has done any testing please could you let me know... Would really apreciate any feed back :-) Many thanks

Fudge!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
http://www.omegaone.com/PocketPC/PM.html

this program let you benc and compare to other sd cards on many different pda's

if 2 cards give different results on one pda then on another then it's not because of the sd card but because of the SD interface of the pda

the sd interface of the xda2 will never be able to reach the speeds of those new mmc cards i bet since it dont even reach the speeds of the fastest of the sd cards

of cause that dont mean that normal sandisk sd cards are not as slow as mad cow desease
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] r1kde:
oh i didn't mean to say don't consider it just that I have found that I have noticed nothing.

I suppose I have never noticed it is due to me always using docking stations and gps.

I thought that the memory is like a nand gate so therefore you have more legs per mb but you only require the same voltage and draw accross top right leg and bottom (earth) left. maybe just miss understand memory. but to continue what is the draw per mb?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fudgebottom:
Thanks guys... It's a bit disapointing when we all pay the good money we did for the XDA II's and they done seem to use the best stuff around like the SD Slot for instance and the battery being another major one that I think is a bit of a mistake they made (Not to mention the screen they chose to use??? 640x480 would have been best, it was around the right time as well)... but any way... this was my frist PDA and I did not quite know that to look for.. I just saw all the good features the XDA had and fell in love with it... but if they just went that little bit extra they chould have had the ultimate PDA...

Or would would have been even batter is maby have to version maby an XDA II and an XDA II Pro???? one the way it is now and the Pro with all the latest bells and whistles :-)

Just my 2c worth!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
not really sure what you are saying with the sd interface and the batt if you find them good or bad

but when xda2 came out very very few pda's had 640_480 screen because windows CE dident support it nativ

and features always make the price of the device reflect them so ...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Anybody wishing to purchase mmc or sd memory cards should ensure it will work with the xda or xd 2, I have several cards that work in one but not the other. the Lexar 128 meg sd card is the strangest, it isnt seen at all by xda but works in xda2 however it is also responsible when on low battery for bringing up the error "not enough power for device in slot", this has happened several times when I have let the power get a little low on xda2 it then cannot read the navigator maps and I have to wait for it to charge then reinsert until it accepts the card.

Hello dear xda.

I went to unlimited data plan from my operator few days ago, and i did enabled my mobile data pack on my GT-S5360. But the problem is my battery is going down verry even if i don't touch the phone.

Without mobile internet - 4 to 5 days with normal using the phone.

With mobile internet - like maximum a day.

With high internet surfing like watching online NBA game, the battery is done for two hours.

Is this normal? Can i make something to increase my battery life? I have some apps like Facebook, G+ Twitter..

Any ideas? Thank you !

I would like to propose that there should be separate forums for the development of the I9500 & I9505, just like with my last phone the I9100 which was separated from the I9100G.
