simple trade off, size vs function

I had a Magician & loved it but then the Universal appeared I "had to get it", today I sold it to a workmate and bought a Wizard (T-mobile) thats a weight off my mind, and my pocket, I could not carry the Universal around with me easily, I found myself dressing in the morning to accommodate my phone (how F****d up is that?). the Wizard is more like a phone GTi and the Universat is like a 7 year old PC, as I normally carry a PSP and a Laptop for work I found the Universal slow, fragile and oversized ( the VGA left me cold, it is not really VGA, well not useable VGA, fonts are too small and none of the apps suit it. I know that there are some amazing people in this forum working hard but its kinda hard to polish a turd.

If you want a laptop, buy one, if you want a phone, buy one but do not expect one to do the others work for it.

I should have learned my lesson when I bought a Sony NZ90 (another huge bulky "PC replacement") but I think that for 99% of the techno-savvy world a phone is a phone & a computer is a computer.

rant over, sorry to the Universal owners out there
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tintoy:
I have both and for me it's pretty obvious its all about intended use.

Wizard: small, low power CPU (although this is not so apparnt, it feels pretty quick most of the time), qvga. EDGE (at best, no EDGE here in the UK so 2G speeds only!). Fits in your pocket no problem. usable keyboard. Perfect 'everyday' PDA phone

Universal: Faster CPU (but ****ty ROMs and power schemes negate this benfit to a large extent). VGA screen is LOVELY! (but no hardware 2D or 3D acceleration means playing games or videos is a bit shakey). Really good Keyboard. Funky swiveling screen (double edged sword as the hinges seem to be a weakness). Big and really rather heavy. UMTS! Only fits in your pocket if your wearing combats! Perfect 'mini laptop' (I've composed large docs and loooong emails on mine!). Perfect PDA that happens to be a phone as well (if you see what i mean).

TBH, I have both and I use the wizard every day and the universal at weekends...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GalaxySIIII:
Hi guys

I have decided to make a battery comparsion of smartphones on market today so we can compare with our P6's ..

The results been collected from gsm arena

Here you go :

First is Ascend P6 !

The WINNER IS....................... Oppo N1

The LOOSER IS........................Meizu MX3
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Oppo N1 is huge in size, like Ascend Mate. LgG2 has the most balanced battery mileage, better than oppo in web browsing.

The p6 battery comparatively suffers in Browsing and video playback, and this must be because of its GPU issues or the 40nm manufacturing process of the K3v2e ? .:confused:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] richish:
My vife own LG L7 II with calls and sms betrry drain out in about 6-7 days.

And its have 2 cores.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Truck'n Hemi:
The P6 have some great battery durability. If you compare it directly to HTC One will notice that even enduring 2h less on web and almost 4h less on video playback it got 2h less endurance rating. This is a phone that uses a minimum of the battery when on stand by and doing simple tasks. Reminding tha P6 has a 40nm processor build with 480MHz GPU clock that is 30MHz higher than tha Adreno 320 on HTC One with four times the number of cores.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KainXSS:
after looking into this some more it seems that instead of using different defconfigs for every device huawei is using 1 defconfig and then a separate perl script to load configs that change the drivers while building(I guess so they can use 1 defconfig for every devicemsm8930 device they have I think) I am pretty sure a command has to be run before building to config this but I don't know it, has anyone ever dealt with this before.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemanja96:
Hi guys.I recently got my first Android phone.It's Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000.I like look,speed is good,it is not lag.I play Subway surfers and Temple Run 2 without lag.Internet is fast,everything works well,but first week of using it,I noticed battery drain.First time it was over the night and I was so confused because everything was closed in Task Menager.That was Gingerbread 2.3.3.I searched forums and I did everything it's possible.Turn off all for sure:wii-fi,network data,sync,set screen on lowest,turned of GPS,bluetoot,live wallpapers,automatic updates,vibrate,animations,everything possible and drain was still there.I was sad.I searched forums 2 weeks and again nothing.Then I found one solution:Reeboting phone after charging and after long playing games.That realy works but it's stupid to do that every day.Then I found that I should update firmware.I wanted to be originall and official so I downloaded Kies and installed new and latest update for my phone.It's Gingerbread 2.3.4.First day it was fine beside internet and games still drained battery a lot but after charging it was all good.There wasnt big Os drain.Just 3-4%.I was happy until other day after charging I went to sleep.Battery droped to 51%.I was so frustrated.Next time after charging it was good again but next time not.I'm sure I closed every app.My phone isn't rooted and I don't wanted to be till yesterday when I saw that you can choose which apps will be open.I am still not sure about if.SNS is always open and I never use it.I hate this bug on gb.I cant believe its last official update for this phone.Android and Samsung really don't care for their users.I am affraid of install custom rom or rooting.I think that my phone will become slow and games will lag.Is there any original firmwares for this phone which are stable,fast and not draining battery?How to.install it?Is new KitKat 4.4 good for this phone?Is subwaysurfers laging on it?What should I do?Please help me guys,please.Sorry for bad english

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Its not bricked ( so be cool ) when Odin is stuck in setup connection, simply reboot PC and phone and before attempting to flash again, kill KIES in task manager ( All of these solutions are mentioned in MY Android Solutions, at the top (sticky) of this Forum)

When using Odin to Flash, Open task manager and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe

IF your downloaded File (.tar, .zip, .md5 .rar ) is corrupted, Odin could get stuck too, so download from another source, if it happens repeatedly

THANK YOU,ANYWAY!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Just for your INFO.

KIES process will only activate when you connect your phone to PC , IF you did not tick USB debugging, Odin will not detect your phone and comport will not light up (it means you had USB debugging checked. ), so when Odin gets stuck on setup connection,

a) KIES and ODIN are connecting together, as such Odin will have problem trying to setup as KIES willl connect first before ODin3

b) When downloaded firmwares are corrupted, may aso have setup connection problems.

IF you had learned to use the search function in this forum, you would have found this problem and solutions experienced by many and solved easily. So next time use the search or ask for help and be patient as not all members are online in every minute of the day.

Great post!I will use it when i need it in future. ;)

I think GamerzROM Legend Edition V4.0 is great,how much RAM is available with that rom?

Games are great and fun on android phones,so that ROM got my attention.

With GB 2.3.4 Official Stock firmware I was able to have 328 MB available,and when cash is deleted,it takes 150 MB of RAM.I played Subway Surfers and Ski Challange 2014 without lagging.

I'm curious is it even more faster with this ROM.I mean,this looks like Android 4.0 and I heard that Samsung Galaxy S doesn't have enough RAM for that ROM.Tell me more about GamerzROM Legend Edition V4.0 for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: rooting

Your best bet is to go into download mode and flash the official stock

firmware for your phone which you can find at http://sammobile.com

There are other ways of doing it but the other ways may not work for you.

After doing that you will need to root your phone if you want it rooted.

Good luck!

Hi. I own a rooted Nexus 5 with stock ROM & kernel, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. I wonder if I can do a Nandroid backup, then flash CyanogenMod and restore the apps data from that backup. If no, is there another way to install CyanogenMod without loosing all data? Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
I guess that should work but it may lead to some issues (app crashes, etc. - not quite sure though).

I always used Titanium Backup if I wanted to do this. Some users here also advise against it but I personally never had problems (except once with SMS). I'd only backup apps that don't offer the possibility. As an example: I never did a Titanium Backup of WhatsApp since you can easily backup/restore from the app itself. For messages I used an alternative app (SMS Backup & Restore) since I had a problem with TB once. I switch from CM to a Samsung ROM and then it wasn't able to restore my dialer/messages storage. With SMS Backup & Restore it's just fine.

But for everything else (e.g. games) TB is just great :)

And also take use of the sync-option :) You never have to backup any google-stuff (like contacts or notes in Keep and stuff like that) :)

I tried a lot of ROMs on my old Samsung Galaxy S2 - and if you did the whole backup/restore process a few times (there are a lot of tricks that save time), you get quite familiar with it. Didn't take longer than 20 minutes for me to completely switch to another ROM :D

[Moto X Q&A] redhonker:
I had it for three days. The battery life is not as good as I expect. The review says it last 2 days.

The first day I activated the phone in the morning. Did a lot of installation using LTE. It lasted till toward the evening (10%).

The second day I did several more installation over WiFi. But other than that, not a lot of usage. No video, no game. By early evening, it's down to 10%.

Today, a few installation over WiFi, no playing time. Two online purchase (click and buy, no shopping around). By 3 PM, it's down to 33%. I then used Google Maps for navigation for 25 min and it brought the battery down to 13%. The breakdown show screen at 50%, Android OS at 20%.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] burtney:
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, I'm not a techie and this is my first post here... I upgraded to the s4 from the dinc2 a couple months ago. I've been searching for a hack for the stock mobile hot spot, similar to the one for the dinc (where you access the hidden menu from the dialer using #778). I can't seem to find any hidden menus on the galaxy s4. I've searched the forums and tried some of the dialer codes suggested but none of them are working. At one point, I was able to get to a screen allowing me to select either enable or disable edit mode. I selected enable but I couldn't go any further, there were no options to move forward or actually edit anything and I haven't been able to get back to it ever since. But, by getting at least that far I'm led to believe its possible for this to work If I knew what I was doing (obviously, I do not. Lol)

All other suggestions I've found have been for root but I'm not interested in rooting. Again, I'm not rooted and I'm updated to 4.3. Basically what I'm searching for is a way to access that service programming menu from the dialer on the Verizon S4... Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] burtney:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mtsprite:
What your trying to do is possible, but is not possible without root, because in order to access the hidden menus witch are turned off by default you must edit the build.prop file that is located in the system folder of your phone witch is write protected. Now you could root your phone and then apply the edit, then after doing what you need to do just un-root the phone (if that's something your interested in doing).
