Yeah thats one of it, audio sync issues. another one is the video is kinda hiccup(i dont know how to describe it), lagging maybe. and yeah thats it.

Thanks for the info mate. and i agreed on "They were inferior on everything that mattered to me". haha...:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
That audio sync issue [and playback stutter] many state is due to a slower SD card and can be resolved by upgrading to a faster one (I don't have experience with this).

And your read/write speeds are now?

Using an Ext partition usually bogs them down to about the same threshold regardless of class. At least in my experience and a few others. Just FYI.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
I see. So no ext is better then? Just about right time i'm interested in the cm nightly. Been doing a research since last night.

And how do i read my speed?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I run many extended tests personally that are time consuming but you can just run the test through the app 'SD Card speed test' to get an indication of the R/W speeds.

As for Ext; it is a workaround for the poor internal memory size on these phones and as such, it came with problems. Many. Many could bear them for the gain or were less affected. I wasn't and couldn't. Try it and see for yourself.

Ok so I love android and all of it's openness and mods. I like to modify all electronics that I have. But the only problem I have with it is that it isn't smooth. I have had an iPhone in the past and it was smooth. It just confuses me how 1ghz can lag on a mobile os. I guess this rant is to ask how do I smooth the edges. I've tried many roms and some were better than others. One major thing I want is when I unlock it, when I slide homescreen, and when I open the app drawer to be smooth. Any ideas settings roms?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read through a lot of threads, and understand that there isn't what you're looking for. You might try MIUI, people report it as smooth - never tried it personally. Also, for launcher use LauncherPro, it's smooth.

About the gigahertz stuff: CPU speed doesn't matter as much as SW does. And there is no "smoothness support" yet.

Android isn't smooth. It's powerful, though. Personally, I like the trade off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
delete all your apps, turn off all services, and it will run just like the iphone. kill every app after you use it. - that's what the iphone does.

You can tweak the internal task killer to speed up your phone. It takes some work and testing. This thread has the directions and explanations.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
This has been useless since Froyo. As I once researched and posted, Froyo kills the processes much earlier than Eclair (OOM=12 instead of 16) and considering the amount of memory on Nexus - you never get anywhere below 100MB free unless you run a super-heavy app, and those never stay in background.

Now these tweaks don't do a thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
does power mean smoothness? I just don't get the concept of having a fast processor and not being smooth. I mean it is almost the same speed as my netbook... on a phone. It seems like that should be smooth. Maybe I'm asking for to much. But another thing I have seen videos of people on cyanogen and it is running smoothly with a live wallpaper. I have never got cyanogen to run smoothly for me even with a still wallpaper. Is there some magical setting everyone but me knows about?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Power = ability to do things. Not CPU power, OS power.

Smoothness = frame rate of transitions between screens in UI. By most part, it's a result of heavy GPU utilization (which Android doesn't do stock) and programming that puts graphics as top priority (which isn't the case with Android). When CPU is made busy making beautiful graphics, it makes beautiful graphics. When it's not the main concern - it makes what it makes.

Again, you seem to be complaining about the launcher - otherwise you wouldn't bring this live wallpaper thing. So go download LauncherPro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Folks go on about miui being smooth but personally I found it quite choppy at times, and this was most evident using the miui default launcher and comparing to say an iPhone 4, it looks very stuttery. Its better with launcherpro, but then you've lost half the reason for using it.

I am using cm6 and a theme (minimal matte fwiw ) and its very smooth and nice looking (and believe me I am very sensitive to, and loathe slow performance on a latest Gen phone).

Best compromise I've found yet on android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
I use the latest CM6 nightlies with Launcher Pro Plus and have a lot of widgets on my homescreen, smooth as butter.

I do remember the homescreen being a bit choppy when I ran 2.1 on my N1 though...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
Have you messed with the performance settings? I hear that switching the performance setting to 24 instead of 34 helps. I'm not on cyanogen right now so I don't remember the exact setting but it is cyan settings then performance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dai323:
Truth of the matter is, is that Android running as SMOOTH as an iPhone would be difficult, simply because the IOS operating system doesnt allow any applications to run in the background. Android has TONS of apps that run in the background, and its still smooth as hell if your running the right ROM.

In all honestly, as much as I LOVE enomther and cyan ROMS, MIUI is hands down the smoothest and fastest ROM I have ever used. Give it a shot. I promise that if you can get past the iPhonish look, you will LOVE the speed and fluidness of the ROM. I cant recommend it enough.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
I have used the miui roms and they are awesome. But honestly I just feel like a sell out while running them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Lol. Why? Because it's iPhone-like? That's a pretty bad reason to not use a great rom...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
Possibly I don't know. Do you suggest a bundle or do you suggest the original with langauge packs
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willzz:
Original with launcher pro and language pack
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
The reason why even iPhone 3G's can feel "smoother" than Android phones at most times: hardware acceleration.

Ever since the 2G they've had a dedicated GPU which was used to its fullest in basic UI interactions. We see phones like the SGS with freak GPUs but Android doesn't allow full use of them.

Phandroid made that article on a supposed "Gingerbread" leak. They claim it will introduce hardware acceleration. Hopefully thats true and we'll never hear complaints about a laggy UI again!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjm128:
Yup, most of the smoothness complaints is just hardware acceleration complaints. After gingerbread if it has hardware acceleration, we won't hear the laggy UI issue, we'll just hear the bandwagon "Fragmentation!"

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoandrew:
good news and bad news...

bad news is, the T-Mobile just got slump by overwhelming phone sending back for 2 majority reasons:

#1 phone hardware/software issue for another refurb phone

#2 people took advantage of the phone upgrades for New phones out in T-Mobile like G2 on 3rd failure crisis

so that is why, many phone are on back order!! bummer...

I was told by some local cellular shops, there is one major pain in the butt issue.

all the phone they are getting from back order 80% have Hardware Lock issue.

Guess T-Mobile is enforcing the HWLock to prevent data wipe and stock Custom Rom.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
There is another thread on this in the general section... This is what I posted there.

I call and talked to tech services [not customer service] and they said they will send me out a replacement, Sad thing is they are on backorder. I called on the 13th they said one week. I called again on the 21st That's when I found out its on backorder. I am going to call ever day till my phone gets here.

I called today 10-22 It started out with cs I told them I was very unhappy paying 500 bucks for a phone that I can't use nor be told when I would get one. I told them I was ready to switch carriers. They transferred me to a account specialist. I told her the same story she said they would pay for shipping and give me one month free data. I asked her why can I order one on line and get it but cant get a replacement for my new one? She put me on hold and came back and said she turned it over to another dept and I would get a update text from them on a new phone. I told her that every day I don't get my phone drives me closer to dropping them. I was nice to them but firm about my displeasure. Will update this thread when I get more info. Sorry about this RANT

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizoh66:
My replacement is on backorder as well. I had a MyTouch before my vibrant and needed a replacement. I checked my order status several times a day (like I do now) hoping it would tell me it was shipped. The status was always backorderd and so I called them to see what the hold up was and they just told be it was on backorder and didn't know why. No less that 30 minutes later my phone arrived in the mail. I hope this is the same scenario and that my replacement arrives sooner than later.

The moral of the story, T-Mobile reps don't know **** about what or when the replacements ship.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
called again Same crap different day Talked to several ppl loyalty serv. customer serv. and a account specialist. They tried to tell me they have no phones at all. I said I could order one on line, they said they were backorderd too. I went to their site and got all the way to the final check out. It seems like it would have gone threw. So I quit. 2 weeks later and they still can't tell me when I would get one? Maybe i will get a new one instead of a refurb one. I think when think when they see my number they go oh **** he is calling again. What a nice $500. paper weight :mad:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizoh66:

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
For some reason the new GMaps is problematic to say the least. Whenever Navigation is open, it is VERY unstable and WILL crash the entire phone. I made sure it wasn't the Vibrant/JI6 by uninstalling the latest updates and Navigation worked A LOT better. The circle was also much smaller (I could barely see it most of the time).

From what I can tell Google's latest update is very pushy and wants you to have WiFi on, Network-Based location on at all times or it will place the circle around you more often. I like the improvements that come in the latest update but come on.. who else is having problems with the latest version of Google Maps/Navigation?
[Vibrant General] qtilt112:
I also had it crash during navigation the other day, had to pull the battery. Also there is the bug where opening navigation raises the system volume to 100%.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I think both you guys are crazy. Maps and navigation work perfectly. Any issues that I do have are not the apps fault, but rather my gps. Which I might add JI6 improved as well.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I guess you are ignoring the numerous posts indicating that navigation has not improved for many and is far from perfect. For me, sitting at a traffic light bounces you over a street and then the voice nav starts telling you how to get back to where you are stopped waiting for the light to change. I'm not the only one reporting this. Some people might be doing ok with nav, others like myself feel it sucks and then there are those that might have worse problems. It certainly serves no purpose for these people to lie about what's occurring on their phone. It might be something else running and using nav exacerbates the problem causing a crash.
[Vibrant General] amandadam:
My nav is spot on.I did get a replacement phone last week,for my original Vibrant that I had purchased in late July.Even with the JI6 OTA,that phone was not happening.After spending an hour + on the phone with TM,they decided to replace my phone,with no cost to me for shipping,either way.The one I have now is as it should be.I'm currently stock rooted,but even with Bionx's fusion everything was fine.I'm sure by tomorrow I'll have flashed a new rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maopost:
I searched the whole forum and find nothing.

The machine Rom has been updated to recent 3.14, and I just found I lost the volume control.

The VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN button on the left panel of the phone does NOT adjust the volume anymore. these two buttons have been signed to scroll page up and down.

I do not know if this problem was caused by Rom updating or some crappy cabs that i had installed. Any idea of how can i get my volume control back? thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggs:
First I would try uninstalling cabs one by one and if that doesn't work, reflash, hard reset after flash and then install cabs one by one until your problem returns (if it does). Then you'll know what the culprit is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hudgybear14:
Hi, all. So I just unrooted my MT3G when I received the text message that it would be updating to Froyo. Im alittle impatient, but my main concern is that the OTA update won't work for me. I work in a building where I cannot receive a constant signal. When I do receive a signal, it is usually about 1 bar strong and connected to Edge. Im in the building most of my day, so I'm afraid if the OTA update starts while I'm there, then it will crash and remain incomplete because of a lost data connection.

My question is if there is any major difference between the manual update and OTA? (other than the obvious of manual and automatic) Any security issues? Bugs?

Thanks for the help
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bassdroid:
I can't believe after a year and a half they are finally releasing it. I believe you can start the update when u want so I would wait till I had a good signal

Dear T-Mobile Customer

We have reviewed your recent coverage concern, and you may qualify to be part of a free in-home device trial! The device is designed to boost 3G signal inside your home. We look forward to speaking with you regarding your eligibility...

..contact info, etc..etc...

So I qualified.. The requirements included one bar 3g signal. 3g device, data plan blah... Moderate service, a land line for 911 calls, and single family home.. No apts or highrises I guess..

So I'm in this test group of 1000 lucky tmo customers that get one of these little in home 3g boosters,

Awesome

I'll keep yous guys informed..

Is this like the ATT Femtocell/Microcell? Does it use your home broadband to increase signal.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
It would be compared to a femtocell... I'm not sure how well they work or the signal strength.. This cel-fi receiver works really well.. The signal drops when I go outside.. So it doesn't put out a whole lot of extra signal.. But it is very reliable/consistent..

This uses an existing 3g signal.. It keeps a very constant connection too.. The base fluctuates between 1 and 2 bars and the output box has a 9 for signal output. It dropped down to 4 and 5 last night but I was still getting full service 3g..

I've been able to upload and download files like never before.. This has seriously changed my perspective of tmo... I'm not even in a "true" 3g area.. I get flow over from 2 bigger cities 45 mins north and south of me..
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
although I think you said that this simply repeats an existing 3g signal, can you confirm that this does NOT use your home broadband connection?

Is the repeater in any way connected to your home network?
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
The repeater is not connected to anything, or plug into anything beside a power cord.. Just uses the existing 3g network

Awesome - that makes this about 100x better than the ATT and VZW microcells.
