I did it a little while ago, i forgot the website name but you download the 3.1.2 firmwire from a 3rd party source and when you restore it in itunes you press somthing like shift + k and you can load up that wirmwire you downloaded. Then you jailbreak it with blackra1n and in cydia you can upgrade back to 3.1.3.

Spirit Jailbreak for 3.1.3 is out http://spiritjb.com/ but doesn't look like there is a baseband unlock......
[Off-topic] AdrianK:
There are teams of people working hard to find a usable exploit in that baseband and you're calling them 'losers'. Nice going...

Don't get pissed because you made a mistake and let iTunes update your device.

And no, Spirit wont help, it's just a universal JB and has nothing to do with a baseband exploit.

is html5 preferable over flash and if so how?

I remember when October of 2009 was going to be the latest arrival of flash, I can't remember farther so maybe it was even earlier. Anyway, after all of the BS by Adobe and all the anticipation by consumers, has flash taken so long that the competition has caught up? After all the crap Adobe has put android users through, are we actually going to feel "stuck" with flash? Or is html5 not that big a deal? I read somewhere that its smoother and takes less power, which, in the mobile world, would skyrocket its popularity passed that of flash (as long as I've been waiting for it , and as long and callously as Adobe has strung me along, I think I'm already getting tired of flash)

What's your FPS on these two sites?

Original article: Link
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Flash is on the decline and HTML 5 is on the rise. There is still definitely a benefit to supporting flash for some time going forward however. The sheer quantity of flash content and developers means that, at least for the time being, supporting flash on a mobile device opens doors. It also opens into potential problems and unwanted advertising, but it can be controlled.

Eventually HTML 5, or some other technology, will overtake Flash but not for a while yet. The browser support and developer talent are not there yet. Even once the support and talent are available there will be a large biomass of consumers who simply do not upgrade quickly.

TLDR: Flash on mobile has some legs yet, but its dominance is waning.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Interesting benchmarks. On desktop Chrome at least html5 is 45fps here, and flash is 35fps average. Can't try on the Nexus yet, but maybe in a month :)
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
hmm. On Firefox, 64bit Linux HTML 5 was 11fps, flash 118fps.

EDIT: odd ran the tests a second time and HTML 5 pulled up to 18fps. Flash stayed steady ~115fps
[Nexus One General] dinan:
wow the first link will only animate when i move the mouse... and it settles at around 14 fps.

will android be able to support html5? i mean full support as apple is planning to get
[Nexus One General] BlueScreenJunky:
That benchmark seems terribly biased : I get 11FPS on the html version and 1.2FPS on flash... But in my experience flash is usually faster than javascript animations.

Anyway, I don't think it's only a matter of performance, they have pretty much nothing in common : HTML5, javascript and SVG are web standards, which means you can create websites and "webapps" with these technologies.

Flash is just a program which allows you to do animations, and it happens to be able to be embedded in your browser. So it might allow you to do more things, be faster (in spite of my results on the strange benchmark), but if you decide to go that way, quake live is even better than flash ^^
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
There we go, I'm getting 6. What causes the difference?
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
So if it turns out the only difference is that html is better for battery life, you think there will be a way to choose to use it on our phones once flash is implemented? Just curious, ill be happy with either one I'm sure
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
The battery life is an assumption but not an absolute fact. I think what flash is being used for and how good the AS/HTML5 programmer is would make a difference. Either way we won't know till Flash comes to the N1 and we do some tests.

Same answer on the ability to turn flash off. I am reasonably certain there will be a way to disable flash but we won't know for sure till it comes out. Switching between Flash and HTML 5 would be a site developer requirement though, nothing on the phone would enable that as a possibility.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The point here is that HTML5, no matter how much Steve Jobs wants it to take over, it's just not there yet.

It's still years off from being able to replace all of Flash's capabilities.

Here are my results using the Desire browser:

I get the same ratio of results in Chrome on my PC.

Can you guess which one is which? :cool:
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Where did you read this?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Wow, it seems I'm the only one where HTML5 was faster. I'm running the latest development Chrome, and the latest Flash beta, so that could explain it.

Being Chrome's HTML5 keeps getting faster and faster and there may be a bug in the Flash beta. Not sure.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
The thing about HTML5 that people miss is that once the specs are finalized it will be better than flash for a lot of things because it is a completely open specification that anyone can implement. There's no waiting on Adobe to get flash player ported to your platform or device. And no waiting on Adobe to improve the player on devices that it performs poorly on. The people making the device or platform have control over the way their HTML browser behaves and fits in to their system. With flash they do not.

WebKit compiles on almost every platform, while flash does not. Where is the 64-bit flash player for example?
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Having to take a step back and program for every friggin browser and giving up some content control will keep HTML 5 at bay for awhile.

Only Mac users complain about Flash because Jobs refuses to give them access to hardware necessary.

HTML 5 already has fragmentation with browsers wanting to support different standard codecs. HTML has a long history of empty promises they need to make up for.

Mobile phone browsing is still secondary and will be for years. HTML 5 has to win on the desktop front first and it has some things going against it.

HTML5 - 10-12 fps on FF or Chrome

Flash 60-70 fps on FF or Chrome
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
Flash player could use the built in hardware accelerated codecs on OS X, but Adobe doesn't want to change their player to use the APIs that way. They lie when they say it couldn't be done on OS X. As of last week there is a new API in OS X for hardware acceleration and Adobe will be using it.

Let's not forget that the HTML5 specs aren't even finished yet and there are already plenty of browsers and devices supporting most of the drafted specs, yet there still isn't a single ARM device with the full flash player. And people complain that HTML5 is taking too long to get here? Crazy.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Ive read otherwise. Apple locking down gpu and other access has pissed off more than Adobe.

Secondly not bad mouthing HTML5. But this is nothing new. Theyve promised so many things but the browser makers always disagree so many things never come to fruition.

It was pretty clear that both processing power being limited and Apple refusing to put flash on the iPhone set the entire mobile market back in terms of browser capability.

Before Iphone mobile browsers werent a significant market , nor was mobile gaming. Apple brought both those markets to the forefront then refused to let Adobe develop for it.

Sorry cant give Jobs all this praise then none of the blame. Hes had a heavy hand in the hindrance of Flash and mobile browser development for years. IMO Adobe has done a great job with flash making the web experience uniform regardless of browser or OS. People seem to forget just how clunky Flash was and how terrible media experience from site to site was before Adobe streamlined flash.

My only serious knock is that its taken to long to undo the clunkiness which is Flash designing. The outdated interface and techniques are still there and need overhaul IMO.

Bottom line if it wasnt for Android, mobile browsing would still be safari or nothing. WebOS , WinMo had opportunity but didnt do well enough. Theres finally a platform thats worth the effort.

Apples closed environment stagnated the market just as badly as WinMos lack of innovation and hardware did for years.

Time to move forward and HTML5 is too far off to be in a modern browsing convo.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
I can't quite wrap my head around the argument that Apple and the iPhone have set mobile web browser capabilities back several years. I guess I just remember the days of browsing the web on a phone before the iPhone... isn't Apple's WebKit the engine used on almost every single platform now? Isn't WebOS built entirely on it?

The situation we have now seems perfect to me. Us Android users will get to use Flash (eventually), and since the iPhone/iPad platform is so popular web sites will only use Flash for stuff that can't be done any other way which works perfectly on Android devices as well (unless they don't care about reaching Apple users of course). Adobe can even make some nice tools for HTML5 stuff. Everyone wins.

The video codec situation is a tricky one, but I'm hoping Google will open up VP8. Apparently it's a really good codec.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Like WinMo they had a dominant status and stagnated.

They closed up devs from being able to produce 3rd party browsers on the leading mobile platform. They wanted all traffic and browsing to go through safari. No flash no alternative browser = stagnation.

Bottom line and everyone knows it. Jobs doesnt want people playing flash games or having flash apps. He wants people to go through the apple store. Everything else is bull**** and a cover.

That desire brought mobile browsing to a standstill for about 2 years.

Opera, Skyfire,Fennec , Flash all major players all developing now because of Androids success. None would be significant without it.

Pretty reliable no? ; )
[Nexus One General] mike105105:
Ok on my desktop the html5 is half the speed of the flash one...it is also only using half the cpu power as well :-/ So I would have to assume that if it was using the same amount of cpu it would also reach the fps of the flash test.

I have to guess that the html5 implementation isn't highly multithreaded or something else in the system is limiting it because like I said it is consuming half the cpu usage of the flash.

Jesus Paul its all the time with you isn't it? Man you're a weird dude.

I asked the question "is html better than flash and if so how?" I can promose you that I read somewhere that html was better with battery, thus I relayed here for feedback. The fact that I read that html has some upside is all but irrelevant to my post. I put the issue to the forum so I could learn. I don't even know what trolling means.

Look the phone has some problems, if you read all my posts you'll find some complaints but the majority is posts about how I'm excited for the future of this phone.

I also remember reading HTML5 isn't very harsh on battery life, though even with a Google search, I can't find anything that "definitely" says that.. (though I only looked on 2 pages, lol). It was in NewsRob if I remember correctly.. whatever though. It isn't going to be popular for a while.

I remember something coming up about H.264 vs Flash in that whole Adobe letter drama from Jobs.

Narayen basically responds to him by saying hardware acceleration sees decreased battery life (on Flash) compared to H.264. You can see him talk about it here at around 6:40.

[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I am hopeful about html5, but not about h.264. H.264 is a proprietary format, free from royalties until 2016. So again we will be stuck with a patented proprietary format. I do hope that Ogg theora will win out. Though i doubt it, as a pool of thugs are trying to ensure that it does not compete.
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
I would +rep you for this if I could, sir.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
uh.... The first link just quotes Jobs, who offers no evidence, especially to the 50% reduction in battery life which is extremely unlikely given the % of power a screen consumes on a mobile device. The second link does not support your statement but argues against it.

Paul2200 was perhaps a bit harsh but he does have a valid point. It is best that you have proof to back up statements when they are so contentious. There is no proof that Flash consumes significantly more power than HTML5. Indeed on platforms where HW acceleration is available there is anecdotal evidence that Flash consumes less power.

I will stick by my earlier statement that Flash is on the way out, but that does not mean that at this moment it has proven disadvantages outside of stability and proprietary nature.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...eat_flash_surprising_results_of_new_tests.php

That first link I tossed up was just the first one that came up on a simple google search, I didn't notice it was a quote form Jobs...

This new one is to a site reporting actual testing... seems that when flash is able to use hardware acceleration, it is on par with HTML5, if not better... both use H.264 for their hardware acceleration processing. When software based, it depends on your browser, OS, and what not; it seems HTML5 is a hair better overall than Flash, but not enough to be a big deal.

What is surprising is that HTML5 is so "young" and flash is so "old", so it makes it seem that HTML5 still has major room for improvements, where as Flash is only going to see small gains. Not totally true, though, since Adobe can always improve and could implement changes that make a huge difference. As well, if you look at it in terms of FPS and quality of video reproduction, Flash is still well ahead of HTML5, and it also suggests that Flash is more efficient because it uses roughly the same amount of power to produce a superior picture.

All in all, there are some other articles addressing this as well, it seems that Flash has a leg up in many regards, but HTML5 has some major backing and potential. Both will play a major role and are needed on any device if you truly want a full internet experience. It also seems both are racing towards the same goal, delivering H.264 encoded media to your device in a live environment.

[Droid Eris General] 05swtc:
Background: I have been very disappointed with the battery life and signal strength of my Eris since day one. While at work my battery would die every day by one or two oclock. However at home on the weekends, my battery would last for two days, no problem. I decided the problem was the fact that while at work, my signal was slim to none and mostly none, and the phone was constantly searching for signal and killing the battery.

I chose Verizon as my carrier based on the fact that all the corporate phones on the site where i work were Verizon, and all had excellent coverage everwhere on the 4200 acre site. I placed several calls to Vzn cust. ser. and finally was sent a new Eris in case the problem was with the phone. It wasn't.

On Wednesday, I called again to complain and was put through to an excellent Tech support rep. and I mentioned the fact that the site corporate phones all used Vzn and had since it was Alltel. Apparently a lightbulb went off in her head at that moment. She asked if any previous CS reps had mentioned a Hybrid PRL. I said nope. This PRL allows the use of Alltel towers if they are closer than the nearest Vzn tower.

She pushed the PRL to my phone and within 30 mins, I had 3 and 4 bars in my office where i had zero before. And my battery meter didnt move for the rest of the day.

Bottom line. If you are experiencing pour signal and short battery life, Call Vzn and ask for the Hybrid PRL. it just might help you too.

Sorry for the long post. but this has given me a completely different phone and I definetly wanted to share.
