[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
To untangle the confusion-

Triangles= "polys" (polygons)

The SGS does nothing bear 90M, but on the other side, none of the other phones are doing what the manufacturers are claiming them to do.

Plus, the wikipedia article is FAR from being reliable, it's been edited more than 5 times over the past 2 months, with ever changing results. No official specs are available from imgtec.

One thing i CAN tell you is that the GPU on the SGS is nothing less than a monster.

http://glbenchmark.com/result.jsp?benchmark=glpro11&certified_only=2

I'd like you to take as a refrence the Compal NAZ10 that uses the ever-glorified Nvidia TEGRA 2, and the iPhone 4 (SGX535)

I don't know what trick Samsung used, but there shouldn't be such a massive difference between the 535 and the 540.

Appearently someone over at Sammy did something right.

Extremely right.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mbr01:
Well, one important fact is the pixelcount in the glbenchmark link you sent. iPhone4 and iPad share the same GPU. The difference in pixels is about 20%, and hence the difference between those two.

Let me make one ugly calculation to map SGS's score to iPhone4's. Pixelcount difference between i4 and SGS is a factor 0.625. That we would make the SGS score 1146 on the iPhone resolution. (or 1723 for i4 on 800*480 resolution). Offcourse there are more factors involved but this the best estimate i can make at the moment.

Difference turns out not te be that great after all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
I knew this argument was going to pop up soon enough, so i'll add one VERY important factor-

Score doesn't decrease proportionally to an increase in resolution.

For example, doubling the resolution won't give half the score. More like 70%~

Try running 3Dmark on your PC in different resolutions, you'll see some interesting results.

Personally, GLmark 1.1 for me is just a very crude example, for general demontstrations. It's not really close to be very accurate.

I'm waiting for GLmark 2.0 that should be a great tool to effectively compare the devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] WiseDuck:
Who cares if the phone is powerful when there are no great games that take advantage of the power and when you have an OS that lags all the damn time despite the fact that Quadrant gives me 2100+. Even opening the PHONE app can take up to 10 seconds. This thing can drive me crazy at times.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoss_n2:
yes it is edited more than 5 times but there is an offcial sources says that sgx 454 gives only 40M polygons so hw sgx450 gives 90M i know numbers are not important if there is nothing to use it but i only wanted to know
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
I think its due to fact that older chip has 2d acceleration too, while 450 is pure 3d and we use cpu for 2d. Thats why its faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
It is important to note that PowerVR does not do 3D rendering using the traditional 3D polygon based pipeline, like those used in nVidia and ATi cards. It uses the unique tile based rendering engine. This approach is more efficient and uses less memory bandwidth as well as RAW horse power. IIRC, the original PowerVR 3D PC card is a PCI card that can compete head to head with AGP based cards from 3dfx and ATi at that time. Unfortunately, its unique rendering engine does not fit well with Direct3D and OpenGL which favor traditional polygon-based rendering pipelines.

So, the 90M figure could well be the equivelent performance number when using traditional 3D rendering pipeline as compared to Tile-based PowerVR setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Power VR does indeed use the traditional 3D polygon based pipeline.

Tile based rendering is in addition, not instead.

Do note that not all games (and actually, far from it) are using TBR properly (if at all).

Read the release notes and press release, it has enough details.

All the given numbers for "official" specs about PowerVR GPU's are for a frequenct of 200mhz.

Those chips can do well above 400mhz, so for example, if an SGX530 does 14M polygons and 500Mpixels per second @200mhz, if you clock it up to 400, it'll do 28Mpolys/1Gpixels.

Though i extremely doubt samsung has the SGX540 clocked at 600mhz in ths SGS...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Billus:
A pratical and good exaple that shows of the power of the Galaxy S is Gameloft's Real Football 2010 game. The game hasn't got a framelock so it's playable on the Desire and Nexus One. Since pictures tell a thousand words and videos even moreso, I'll provide you this YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0DxP0sk5s0
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LevitateJay:
This is true however overclocking the GPU to those numbers is silly because the memory & memory bus can't support that much data throughput anyway. I don't even think there is enough to support the amount of the standard clock rate. There is a lot more to consider than just the GPU when it comes to graphics here
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
You're taking that article you read way too seriously.

Plus, we have no idea what is the bandwidth limit of the galaxy S, we don't know what kind of memory is used, how much of it, at what frequency, etc.

Re: lag, I want doing bad until I installed one of the fixes. Now I've officially entered crazy-town.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gTen:
If I would have to guess it has to do with S5PC110 optimizations. When rendering polygons there are many things that contribute aside from the GPU. Think of it maybe similar to hybrid-sli...(but this is just a guess)

but if you want to look at it in more detail, someone posted the official documentation and spec sheet for the S5PC110 a while back..I ddint get a chance to look at it but my guess the clock speeds and other stuff would be there :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ogen:
Well i dont have any lags, what so ever after lag fix. Something else must be troubleing your phone. Auto memory manager is a need tho if you want to keep it real snappy.

[Windows Mobile] Mersad 7:
I use OsKitchen too but the problem continued ....

I think it should be a problem in XIP and SYS package

I tested many roms from every cooker but most of them have this problem , it should be a reg fix for it
[Windows Mobile] zard:
I'm using OS Kitchen v1.31 now. Before that, I use v1.30v3. No such problem of back button or end key.

I cook Topaz and Rhodium roms.

I'll suggest that you start building up your kitchen from scratch. It is likely that you might have messed up in your kitchen that is causing this problem. :-)

Just google search Step by Step Guide on How to Convert M4B to MP3 as well as Split M4B with the Powerful M4B to MP3 Converter

you will find a step by step guide on how to convert M4B to MP3, MP2, AU, AAC, AC3, AIFF, WMA, WAV, and OGG and automatically split the converted M4B by chapter
[General Questions and Answers] hurgerarder:
M4B is the file extension for audio-only MP4 files. It is widely used by podcast and audiobook downloaded from the Apple iTunes store. However, most iTunes audiobooks can only be played on authorized computers using iTunes or on certain iPod player. In order to play M4B audio file with non-iTunes media player or non-iPod MP3 players, it is necessary to convert M4B to MP3, WAV, AAC and more common used audio format.

Why dont you simply download some Audio / Video converter from web? There are so many converters available online but before going to download or purchase, find out the best M4B to MP3 converter like Faasoft Audio Converter.

but it just isnt stable enough for me, my phone wont respond for around 30-60 seconds when waking it up from being locked.. the battery life is around 6 hours, and the camera hardly works..

Also how can i back-up all my messages and contacts from android so that they will go back into WinMo. Thanks.

Make a backup of yours Apps+Data with Titanium Backup, make a backup of FAT32-Partition of the Card. Partition the SD-Card without swap and ext. Reboot the Desire and restore the SD-Card (with USB-Connection) and restore the backups made with Titanium Backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeman_108:
Thanks for the info. But Titanium Backup can't restore everything. Is there any other method to move ext2 data back to phone like some other recovery tools able to move ext back to phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfjuocekr:
n

Go into recovery, mount sd-ext and data.

Open an ADB shell and do the following

rm /data/app

rm /data/app-private

rm /data/dalvik-cache

Thats how you delete the links.

mv /sd-ext/app /data/

mv /sd-ext/app-private /data/

mv /sd-ext/dalvik-cache /data/

If it's correct there should be a app, app-private and dalvik-cache dir again, check like this:

ls /data/

Double check if there is still something important left on sd-ext:

ls /sd-ext

If there is a data folder you need to move it to, but I think there were only app, app-private and dalvik-cache.

Turn phone off, remove SD card and put it into your PC to repartition it. If you reboot the phone with SD card still in it will re-setup ap2sd.

For several days my phone started to go off only when to call someone. Ring and after 30-40 second phone is off (when you listen to music, or delve into the net with it no problem) ... I did not hit or dropped.

What may be due to problems?
[HTC Wings] tobbbie:
Power drain in a call is much different to using the device without a radio connection. You will face this especially when you have poor radio coverage (i.e. the mobile has to deliver much radio power to reach the tower). Similar things may happen to you with WIFI connection if you move away from the base-station.

Almost sure that your battery is aged and thus cannot cover the high current drain any longer during calls. If you are interested you may follow instructions given the topic I have setup regarding the measurement of your battery capacity - link is in my signature.

To ensure you do not have contact problems at the battery, clean the battery contacts and those in the phone with something that can remove fat/oil, e.g. medical alcohol or lighter gas.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navjas73:
I was playing with my splash screen and boot animation, and I changed the PB31IMG file on my sd card to a custom splash image. I went to hboot (.92 i think) and it gave me the error "no image found" or something like that. I turned off the phone, and tried to boot up into hboot again by holding volume down+power. As soon as I did, my phone vibrated maybe four times and stayed at a black screen. I can't turn the phone on now, or boot into recovery. Has this happened to anyone else? More importantly, does anyone know how to fix it?

Just to add more information (Im really not sure what's relevant), I was running virtuous 2.6 with hydra #1, 2.15 radio. Also, the image error happened before when I was trying out a different splash screen. That time I deleted the file and re-transfered it my sd card. Hboot was able to recognize it as a splash screen when I rebooted it that time. I'm not sure, but my phone might have booted into clockwork recovery after hboot checked the img file.

One other thing that might be a problem was that I might've been running low on battery. I didn't check, but it was the end of the day and I'm usually almost dead by the time I charge it again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyleunderwood:
I really have a bunch of questions. I don't know how to tell if I'm nand unlocked, but I think it might be the reason I can't flash a custom rom.

So I was on 2.2, rooted using the method on xda. Everything went swimmingly. I'm now on rooted stock 2.2 rom. Wireless tether doesn't work, which I assume is because I need to flash a custom kernel (but I saw some people saying the more recent versions of wireless tether stopped working on the evo). I also can't seem to flash a custom rom, which I think is because I'm not nand unlocked. I used unrevoked forever and am s-off. I used amon ra recovery I guess. But I also installed whatever with rom manager.

So I'm wondering, how do I nand unlock? Is it just a full wipe including the dalvik cache? Do I always have to do a full wipe when I flash a rom? Is there a quick and easy way to nand unlock? It looked like I could full wipe with the dalvik cache from recovery. What's a dalvik cache anyway? And about flashing roms, am I going to have to flash antennas and stuff every time? Are all roms pretty much compatible with all the custom kernels? Or should I check and make sure to check all the compatibility for that stuff? Is there a kernel that will both make my wireless tether work and break the 30 fps cap? And what about improved performance and battery life?

So many questions!

I know there is the Service Menu screen, which you can get to when the phone is locked using the secret code found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7847292, where the digital compass looks like it can be calibrated in the service tests section. Anyone know if this is a permanent calibration affecting all apps installed?

Also, is there a way to get a permanent calibration of the accelerometer? My accelerometer is off by about 4 degrees and apps which use it, including rotating the screen are noticeably affected. Does anyone know of any apps that can make a permanent calibration that will be system wide? Or any other way of calibrating this sensor for all apps?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
Yes this would logically be a system wide calibration... If it were not system wide, then by the same logic, it would only calibrate the accelerometer in the Service Menu, which provides absolutely no use whatsoever.

I have no proof either way, but it makes sense to me...

Why not try calibrating your device incorrectly (i.e. upside-down), and see if it's screwed everywhere else as well...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silly22:
In the service menus, there does not exist a way to calibrate the accelerometer, just a screen for testing and showing the accelerometer values.

On another forum, one specific to Android, I found a link to this article about calibrating the accelerometer sensor permanently: http://smartanuj.com/samsung-galaxy-s-troubleshooting-and-optimizing-guide
