New Test Data concerning SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta)

New Test Data concerning SD Formatter 3.0 (Beta). I formatted the 4G Class 2 Sandisk with the above program using every parameter it allows. You can only "overwrite erase an SD Card". The Quick and Full formats with erase on and off were tested. Who won? Fooled me. The Quick had faster write/read speeds using post format H2Testw benchmark test as compared to the full (which takes forever to format). It was only a little faster on read and the same on write. This would seem to indicate that you might as well take the easy, and quick, way out! Did not test the larger cards.

Will add this to the data pages.

you should test some none sdhc card, which access time is smaller than sdhc.

I only test what I have on hand. Why don't you test the non-HC cards and add to everyone's collective knowledge here. All of the test software is free.

Tests of Format programs and cluster size on Sandisk 4G, Class2

Tests of Format programs and cluster size on Sandisk 4G, Class 2

This is the smallest card in size and rated class that I have.

It was interesting to see the Quadrant scores come out so close and in the same range as all of the larger/faster cards. This would seem to indicate that the Quadrant test is not dependent on the SD card for it's scores.

Note: During these tests I noticed that the first run of the SD Card Tester under Android would run extremely slow. Usually giving a speed for write of 0 or 1. I would also get errors and SOD's when I used Windows or WinMo to format the card. I do not know why the Android program runs so slow on the first pass. Possibly some difference in windows card format and Android. I do not know. (This also happened on the upcoming 16G, Class 2 tests.) After the 1st pass the tests were normal. Maybe this initial slow down is the cause of some of the problems ppl have with class 2 cards. It is total speculation, but maybe running some initial write/read tests would help smooth out some of the problems on the smaller cards.

I will add this to the Data Page 9.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
Took an "education" break from testing and learned something.

In the methodology for these tests I was formating the cards and then re-writing them with my back-up from my hard drive. I thought this would result in a completely de-fragmented file structure. As it turns out this may not be true. It seems that when the restore is taking place the folders are created first. They are created in a smaller size then they exist in the backup. As the files are copied in the folders grow and fragmentation begins. This is explained in the article at the link below from the makers of Pocket Mechanic that I used for part of the tests. I have no relationship with this company beyond using their 30 day trial software. Reading their forum it seems that it might not be completely screen compatible with 6.5 and it does not want to format SD cards. It seems this issue is over a year old.

http://www.wizcode.com/articles/comments/flash_memory_fragmentation_myths_and_facts/

Following the final card tests I will test to see if de-fraging the restored backups on newly formated SD cards has any effect. I would like to see if it changes the slow first write test on the Android program SD Card Tester.

Update: Tested a card with direct copy of backup on fresh format and there is no fragmentation shown by windows. Pocket Mechanic shows 0.01 fragmentation so I think this one can be tossed out the window. As files are added like music etc. this may become a problem. But fragmentation does not have any effect on the tests done here.

Data for 8G Class 6 Transcend SD card

I did more tests on this card because I just didn't believe I could not get it to out perform a Class 2 card. I was wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
Data for 16G Class 2 Original SD card included with T9193 & Conclusion

And the winner of this adult tricycle race is the original 16 G Class 2 card. I am now trying this card in everyday use to see if the Windows 64 format or the WinMo in the phone format have any different characteristics in use.

If I was going to choose "A" Format Program for "Any" card, I think I would choose WinMo in the phone.

Using programs that only write one FAT, versus the normal 2, might help once the disk get's fragmented, but this is easy to fix by defraging or backup to hard drive, format and recopy. The second FAT is great insurance for file system recovery and this test shows that on a defraged card there is little if any downside in speed.

What we learned: (By this very limited test.)

1. Card Class on the label does not have much to do with true read/write speeds. So you can't buy a card by it's cover and expect price/performance.

2. Card size and Class have little, if any, effect on Quadrant scores.

3. The format program and parameters you use, at least by these results alone, are not going to make a great deal of difference. Some programs/parameters might have a slight advantage. Fragmentation and usage may make some format/parameter methods behave differently in the long run. This was not tested here.

Conclusion: So go, my children and format your cards haphazardly. It probably is not going to make a lot of difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusdus:
I was wondering this myself too. Thanks a lot for your excessive work, testing and even better conclusion then i could hope.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StardustOne:
I have the Kingston MBLYG2/8GB kit with the microSD SDHC 8GB card and adapters.

When I tested the card with SD Card Speed Test while running Android, I was shocked. The card has been formatted with Windows 7.

Kingston 8GB microSD SDHC that was formatted with Windows 7 (formatted with SD Formatter in brackets):

Read: 1MB/s (3MB/s)

Write: 8MB/s (9MB/s)

The SD Card Speed tester could not even determine if that Kinston 8GB card is Class 2 or anything else when it was formatted with Windows 7. After formatting with SD Formatter, the card at least was Class 2 compliant, what a shame for a Class 4 rated product.

Conclusion: The Kingston Class 4 Micro SD 8GB card is not optimal for the HTC HD2. Avoid at all costs.

I also own a Class 4 4GB microSD SDHC card from Toshiba that does perform siginificantly faster.

Toshiba 4GB microSD SDHC that was formatted with Windows 7 (formatted with SD Formatter in brackets)

Read: 3MB/s (7MB/s)

Write: 13MB/s (13MB/s)

SD Card Speed thinks my Toshiba Class4 Card is Class6 which is fine with me.

I am going to return the Kingston Class4 card that actually is nothing but a Class2 one :).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SGH-i200:
Kingston mircoSDHC Class4 8GB suckz!

I can confirm that.

I own a Kingston mircoSDHC Class4 8GB (CO8G Japan, SDC4/8GB 07) - is really slow compaired to my old 1GB card - regardless how formatted.

AGAIN: Avoid at all costs!

when i had my diamond sense used to have a side swiping animation which was removed due to speed issues. now the hd2 is here is there a way of getting this back or is it in the code anymore?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
If you mean swiping to the side to change tabs instead of using the slider then Yeah its there....... it is on mine anyway....

Theres no animation though, it just switches to the next tab........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
same here...

if you mean something different, describe it better pls :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGurth:
hmmm

yea you can swipe, but when.sense first came out it used to animate like side swiping in sense for android does now quite hard to explain really..

it would move to the next screen not go to the next.screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
personally I can live without that, sense is a memory hog as it is without any extra animation..... I only leave the weather animation on because it looks so pretty lol :D

its not that bad, i couldn't live without it. this phone i reckon could cope with it. i think i was removed years ago though. wishful thinking on my part

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dan1993:
Hey guys greets to all I'am new in this forum and my english is not so good and i have not many experience on HTC Phones and ROM's

I bought a used HTC Touch Pro and ever time when i turn on the Phone there is a picture with text and there stand TPC Elite Rom Series and after a while in the right corner there come up three Letter D, R, G and next to the letters there aer some numbers they look like a version number and now is my question is this original or not ?

i hope any one can understand my question

i put a screenshot as soon as possible

greets and thanks to all answers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
Not original, that is a custom rom.

do a search for: TPC Elite ROM
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ronald_delgeano:
Is your question for the Unit itself or for the TOM ?

If the ROM, it is already a custom ROM
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MareleSef:
It seems that you have a custom ROM flashed on your device, most likely is something from the old Elite Project.

So, most definitly you dont have the original ROM installed but a custom one... this is nothing bad thow.

And about the numbers please post whats the number on the row with "R", this should be the radio rom version. This will tell you if the Radio ROM was also flashed with something else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dan1993:
thanks for the fast answers :)

by R stands 1.02.25.19

i think the phone is open from factory because there is no branding and my next question is is it better to keep the ROM that is on the phone go back to original or is there a newer version ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] corrzini:
Hi I would suggest you to flash a new rom with manila 2.5 on it.

On my PERSONAL experience Energy and Tael roms are the best. I think TAEL is more stable and maybe less tweaked. Energy is faster but from time to time you can meet some strange behaviour... If you go to Energy I would suggest you to choose the 21911 kind because is more stable and gives less problems. I actually use this.

Good luck.

PS: don't feel frustrated cos you do not have the stock rom. They are far less perfomant and poor than the custom made ones ;-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dan1993:
ok tahnks were i can get tael roms ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dan1993:
can i use the latest Tael rom and is it aviable in german ?

[Droid Incredible General] stigmato:
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed or reported this as I couldn't find anything when searching but Beautiful Home Weather widget does not display correctly when in landscape. The clock is offset a few pixels no matter which skin or size (home and smaller home yield similar results) I use.

Anyone have any ideas? My best guess is it thinks the Inc is a Droid with the 854x480 resolution and expects to have those extra 54 pixels when in landscape.

See screenshot for an example

I would love to put in a request for FroyoTANG! :D

Also wanted to give you a heads up on a bug with NexTANG, the Font change messes with a lot of apps, Armored Strike being one it messes with the most. It screws all the menus up and makes the game force close when trying to get into a match.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DameonAndMeagan:
To use the icons you will need to download an app called Bettercut from the market, this will let you change any icon on your home screen. Or you can switch launchers and go with Launcher Pro witch will let you change the icons in the dock as well as the home screen. As for the grey text, it didn't seem like that big of a deal to me so I have no intension on changing it, but only time will tell. Thanks
