Master clear no effect

I boot my phone in debugging mode, plug it in, and odin recognizes it as Com3.

I click master clear and the process begins. It says master clear finished, all threads completed etc, but the bar above com3 is about 95 percent full and then it just freezes. I've yet to see any change with my phone whatsover. any ideas?

If froyo is optimized for snapdragon processors then why samsung used humingbird processor :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaysins:
Why do you assume this? The two cpu's share much in common.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
benchmarks and system speed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/snapdragon-versus-hummingbird
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
because they didn't want to use the ****ty gpu that comes with the original snapdragon (the newer snapdragon like in the dhd has a good gpu).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkimmortal:
Because hummingbird is vastly superior in real world scenarios
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaysins:
Quadrant and linpack as well as most CPU benchmarks that rely on math being done by FPU run much quicker on the snapdragon because of its 128 bit register vs hummingbirds 64. I believe the snapdragons can turn half of it off to save power too. This explains part of the benchmarks but the hummingbird has optimizations snapdragon doesn't, and vise versa,but is suppose to be faster in most real world scenarios as Samsung claims and judging by browser load time comparisons I've seen and how well it runs android 2.1 I'd be inclined to agree. It keeps up with a nexus running 2.2 which is very reassuring so I'd worry less on benchmarks if I were you unless you really feel the need to show your friends how fast your phone can calculate pi to nth degree.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
@ darkimmortal, Is it really? Then why does my n1 with its "crap" snapdragon CPU run everything faster?

On paper yes hummingbird is better, but in the real world as you put it, its only as good as the software that runs on it, and I've not found anything yet that runs faster thanks to having a hummingbird than it would on say an n1 or desire.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
The sgs is crippled by rfs, no processor can make up for that. In 3d games the sgs out performs any snapdragon based phones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
No disrespect but a well setup nexus on 2.2 is noticeably faster than even the most streamlined lag fixed sgs. The sgs wins the quadrant benchmark but in actual use the nexus is a fair bit faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
You take into consideration just the CPU, N1 and SGS's file systems are different resulting in SGS to be bottlenecked; SGS's main plus is the GPU power, try running those types of GPU heavy items on N1 and they will not run as well. That's the main benefit of Hummingbird compared to Snap but don't just rely on comparing CPU's, there are more things at work here.

Quadrant doesn't mean much, placebo effect at work here. Just a benchmark and doesn't translate (much) into real-world performance. Remember that Google also developed 2.2 almost specifically with Nexus One in mind resulting in more benefits on a N1 than a lot of phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Admittedly I've not tried them all, and I admit the sgs runs the graphics benchmarks in quadrant noticeably faster, but the games I've tried all run about the same, so what good is that super powerful gpu if nothing takes advantage of it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lokhor:
Try some gameloft games like asphalt 5, the sgs is a lot smoother
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Ill give it a try. Games are nice but not my main use, the ones I've tried so far including some 3d ones have been fine on the n1 so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dnsp:
Hummingbird is the processor of choice for the two most famous smartphones in the world at the moment. Our best among the rest Galaxy and the Iphone 4. So it's the winners choice. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
You could try using a GPU benchmark rather than a system wide benchmark to determine GPU power. Neocore for example is strictly GPU and SGS outperforms N1 almost two-fold.

Again, that is a benchmark and you just have to try out different apps and games to test out GPU's for yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
Well for what its worth I've just tried asphalt 5, on the n1 and honestly its just as smooth as on the sgs, so in the end I still say there seems no real advantage in the real world.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
makes me wonder, if only Samsung could put iOS4 into Galaxy. we would have the fastest phone for sure,

unfortunately they builded Apple hardware and loaded crapy Android,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ozy944:
Sorry mate but I have to disagree. Having owned a Nexus One, a HTC Desire and a SGS, I can tell you that the Nexus One was the fastest for opening apps, market, etc. The SGS fell between the nexus and the desire. I think each processor has been optimised for different things.

There is a HUGE difference in the graphics department. Asphalt, especially the old hardware accelerated versions (the new ones are dumbed down so they work on the snapdragon phones) were extremely laggy on the nexus and desire. on the SGS theyre very smooth and dont have the annoying multitouch bug.

Try the other gameloft games (sandstorm), polarbit (toon warz), pretty much all of the (few) 3d intensive apps. Very noticeable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNt1EQYheQ

the difference in performance was the reason I switched, esp the annoying multi touch, and welcomed my way into a world of sgs lag issues and a non working gps :D

Im not a big gamer but I do occasionally pull out a title. The differences in the processors is also apparent if you use rockplayer to watch videos.

imho, I preferred the hardware and AOSP feel of the nexus but wish the hummingbird processor+gpu had been used instead of the snaprdragon (or alternatively the snapdragon with a better gpu).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I hope you're kidding on this one!

iOS is a closed system with a closed mind. Apps have to go trough intensive aprouval for the AllMighty and AllKnowing apple before hitting the market and, for small idiotic mistake, like a logo to close to the one of the AllMighty, it won't be aprouved.

And not to talk about all the iTune that you have to install just to get it to sync/update... you think Kies is crappy, try iTune on windows...you'll get a couple of services in the background in bonus with the resource hog app!

And, on another note, you should all take in consideration all the GPU intessive task in android, Gaming is only part of it... don't forget browsing, gallery, video playback (you can record a 720p video and watch it back full fluid).

Frankly, I don't realy get all the fuss about the so called "lag" on SGS... I don't realy get any at all and I'm still on the original (no lag fix) rom...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Ok I have Froyo 2.2 running on my Captivate but I cannot force the browser to browse pages in desktop mode instead of wap/mobile mode.

I tried about:debug from the browser to change the advanced settings but the UAString value is not displayed in the list at all, the last time is Set JS flags.

Does anyone really know how to set this on 2.2 with the captivate?

-D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
you need to mess with the framework-res.apk file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Thanks for the response I was looking for something a little more informative, are you telling me I need to edit files in a package, etc? Just to enable this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitterballs:
Probably the easier solution would be just to use the Dolphin HD browser and set the user agent to desktop if all you want is to avoid the re-direct to the mobile sites.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
I've done that, and Skyfire as well, but I am not sure how flash 10.1 works with the other browsers or if it works with all of them. I know Skyfire intercepts and tries to play them with its only build.

I am also curious why the UAString value is omitted from the debug settings on the default browser to begin with.

I also found that I had to actually manually install 10.1 it was not installed after updating to 2.2

I am also a little disappointed with the sept.11 build of 2.2 I installed, it does not feel faster than the stock 2.1 as a matter of fact web browsing is worse, and so is screen transitioning on the desktop compared to 2.1. Not sure why.

-i have the same problem, i try to load a site :) and i get the mobile version , and i try the skyfire, dolphin browser hd and nothing ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitterballs:
I used Dolphin HD to watch a full episode of the Daily Show from the website, so I know for a fact flash works with it, and keeps it from re-directing to the mobile site. Must be some kind of EUE.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGSilva:
Open the browser then on the address type:

about:debug

Then go to settings, scroll all the way down and enable normal rendering.

That's it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaSIC:
-don't work!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
I know Hulu is blocking **** so thats expected but its still detecting Dolphin and Skyfire with the correct Strings set.

I know Flash is working but since 2.1 had some sort of flash support previously its hard if the new one is working if it does not show "HD" options.

Since setting UAString cannot be done via debug menu for the default browser, in 2.2 on the build on my captivate I will just wait it out and see if someone figures it out I guess.

Its odd that even with skyfire set to desktop, that Hulu can detect the version still.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGSilva:
It works for me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaSIC:
not for all sites.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbs11:
This may be because the website uses other aspects besides just UAString. For instance, even though both a PC and a phone have flash 10.1 I am positive there is still a way for a website to indicate which is a mobile version. Also it can use screen res, IP address (unlikely), and other factors. Most likely it is flash player having its own useragent.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Just to make this clear, which browser are you talking about and can you post a screen shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaSIC:
-defaut browser.:D =settings
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
In regards to the framework-res.apk...

There is an xml file in there that has the user agent string that our phones are using. I don't remember exactly where it is. perhaps framework-res.apk/scripts/???/

Like I said I'm not sure where it is. It is a lot easier to mess with it on stock than it is on Cognition, Sheps, etc.

Hulu will ONLY work if we are able to change that setting. Skyfire, Opera, etc wont because it still has the string settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
ok, there are several things I need to point out about this post

a) flash 10.1 will work with non-stock browsers like Dolphin HD, Skyfire uses it's own method to circumvent flash and I don't believe there's a way around it

b) UAString is omitted probably because there is no real need to change that for most users, and the above method for "enable normal rendering" does prevent redirects to mobile, but it doesn't change the UAString (in mobile, it's more importat to have an option to switch to desktop mode than change the UAString)

c) flash 10.1 was installed across every other person's device running 2.2, likely you had an update in the market, but everyone else who installed 2.2 had it. Also, android 2.2 != flash 10.1. Android 2.2 is the version of the OS capable of running 10.1, but there are requirements and licensing issues, so it doesn't necessarily come preloaded on every 2.2 device

d) where are you getting this "september 11th" build date from? I assume you're looking at kernel version jetaek.lee@sep-11 #1? that means a user named "jetaek.lee" made a build on a COMPUTER NAMED "sep-11". if you knew how to check build.prop, you would see this build was made on 9/21 and that the "sep-11" name showed up on the 2.1 kernel built in June. And considering it was only leaked at the start of october, it was only a week or two old at the time. I'm sick of people complaining about literally the dumbest thing imaginable.

e) the "laggy browser" issue has already been acknowledged and there is a SIMPLE fix available in the forums, search for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
FWIW, Skyfire uses both the regular flash 10.1 as well as its own streaming implementation. So, you can use the standard flash for most websites but if there is a flash video that is slow you use the skyfire converted stream.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan.hemming:
- Yes, I concur
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
@Kaik541

Well I have only had this phone for 3 days so I cannot say I am an expert on it but I can form a reasonable opinion on the differences in performance in a pre-released leaked version of 2.2 and the stock 2.1 and I am not entirely sure that is complaining about the stupidest thing.

Everything else however you posted I kinda knew but was not sure of hence the post. =)

I agree will prob just stick will Skyfire or Dolphin (although Dolphin worked on fewer sites for me than Skyfire did.)

Will have to see if the release version of 2.2 is optimized.
[HD2 General] genericq:
After awhile none of my apps can access data, and I would have to hold power button and turn data off and on for it to work.

I'm running stock 2.13 Rom with 2.15 radio and froyostone 3.1 but I think the problem persist with other builds as well. It used to be the same on the stock 2.10.50.26 radio.

I'm new at this and wonder if this is a common problem, especially if its one that would be fixed with a modified rom?

Or is there any other thing I can do?

I wish it was that easy for me....I have no clue lol. I would like it to be transparent if I could.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
You can do that by pulling service.jar editing it, deodexing a bunch of files and pushing them back. You are on your own because no one has done that before on X10.

I gave up after re-flashing 10-15 times.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dk2000zx:
wow serious? damn that sucks maybe a little donation will get people motivated?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
That's clearly not true. :p

Oh come on, root your phone, install the Android SDK, run ADB (see sig), pull and edit your framework-res, push it back, job done. :D Not sure about transparent, will give it a go next time I reflash unless someone wants to try it out beforehand.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
OK after reading this thread I gave it another try ( this time without messing around ) changed few of the codes in classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali but it didn't change the color. Maybe i am missing something but hey i didn't have to re-flash this time. I just need to know what to change now and we will be done :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
I would have thought it would be a colour code, like in PS black is 000000 and white is ffffff with somewhere in between being 747474, I dunno.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
well not quite as simple as that. Spending some time with google i found that i have to edit this line after deodexing services.jar . What i also found out we need to deodex the entire /system/app and /system/framework to change the clock color. It may be possible but i just re-flashed again and don't want to try this again now. Maybe you can try ?
