Weird question

The difference is made by the apps you use

For 80% (and more I think), it's only net surfing, youtube, mail, sms, call, music, video...;

No need great class 6 8 or 10 for dat

BUT for those who want to use android to play game, or 3D apps or similar great acces disk apps, it will make a difference....

THE TRUTH IS.....OVER OVER OVER THERE

Went from a 8gb class 2 to a 16gb class 10 card

Faster boot time, otherwise no differences

Btw I went fromn a sandisk to a kingston

I have tried angry birds on both cards and I don't notice any difference

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pietrucci:
Test

I've been doing a little speedtesting in copying files. Results see attach.

I tested three cards: Sandisk 8Gb Class 2, Sandisk 8Gb Class6 and Transcend 16Gb Class 6. I tested them as USB devices in an old and slow laptop, on a medium fast PC and as HD2 Storagecard.

My conclusions concerning copying: the Transcent 16Gb is very slow on my old and slow laptop (because it can't handle the large size?) but it's fast(est) on a more modern PC. The Class 2 card is really slower than the Class 6. In my HD2 the Class 6 cards both are faster than the Class2, Transcend is fastest.

Still, working in my HD2 with Android the Sandisk 8Gb Class 6 seems a bit faster (could be my imagination though...).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubie76:
I believe that the class of card was originally designed to benefit digital cameras. I can really tell the difference in classes when taking pictures. Its the write speed that makes the difference. I have not noticed any difference on my phone with my factory card or the class 6 16 gb I wasted $40 on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daniver:
I bought a 32GB class 4 card to replace the 16GB class 4 Toshiba I was using in my HD2 - but I've had to switch back to the 16GB card because the whole phone was locking up for long periods when applications were being installed or stuff in general was being written to the card and app loading and phone boot times were a lot longer.

Did a quick speed test between the two cards in my desktop PC and the 16GB Tosh was a lot faster at reading (almost x2) and almost 2MB per second faster at writing. Both cards were rated as class 4.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
What brand was your 32gb card? I've been looking at getting one. I see a few brands claiming class 4, but after some research I've discovered to only real class 4 32gb cards released so far is from Kingston, and it was just released a few weeks ago. Was yours the new Kingston card?

I have both a class 4 SanDisk 6GB and a class 2 SanDisk 8GB, and the latter is unusable with android booting for SD. The user interface and general navigation in menus and applications where very sluggish compared to the class 4 card.

How about the power consumption?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rgrover:
Been thinking of getting a 32gb class 6 card, but worried about power consumption and performance with Android.

Will be sticking with a known quality brand after doing a bit more research I think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
I don't think there are real class 6 32gb cards released yet... atleast not by any brand I would trust. The best I've seen is Kingston class 4 32gb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paalkr:
Don't know, didn't do any measurements. Didn't see the point because the class 2 card was practically unusable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DengueFever:
The difference

I changed from a 2gb class 2 card to a 16gb class 6 card.

Haven't noticed any difference while running Android. Even copying files via USB Mass storage seems the same speed. about 2~3 Mb/s.

Using the class 6 card in an SD reader is noticeably faster though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
Been using stock Sandisk 16gb card, No Name class 6 4gb(dead now) and Lexar class 6 8gb card. Was having lots of errors and BSOD with all cards at first. Generally they all performed about the same speed wise. At first they were all formated in Windows with default settings (FAT32, default allocation size). Since then I've started using 32kb allocation size and have noticed better performance from all cards and no more errors, lockups, freezes or BSOD's. I think the most important factor is to stay with name brand cards with proven performance. Also, try 32k allocation clusters as it seems to have helped me at least. Can't remember where I saw it, but I think higher allocation sizes help with performance at the cost of some stability maybe. Anywho, I think in general, 32k clusters is optimum for the setup we are using; Android on HD2. Hope that helps.

PS- Also try running chkdsk /f on your card regularly, esp. if you are having issues. Since using 32k clusters, chkdsk has not found any errors on any of my cards whereas before I was constantly getting errors.

I lost the samsung card :( and bought a class 4 patriot 16gb sd card and there was a HUGE difference. None of the previous android builds worked on the new card. My little brother has the samsung card that came with the phone and the builds that work great on my card suck on his, and the builds that work good on his suck on mine. :confused: I have no idea as to why, but It does make a difference. I also have a 4gb sandisk class 2 and Id say more builds work smoother on that card than on the new class 4 16gb. Id stick with a class 2 just to be safe.

I want to get something to replace my silicon case and SP on my vibrant. The case is nice but I would like to make it less bulky (and the power button is hard to press with the case on). The SP was also from the mall booths. Although it doesnt get any fingerprints, overtime it has gotten oil and you can see it through the screen (not to mention it doesnt show the screen justice)

It seems as if this clear-coat is a perfect alternative for both my problems. I googled it and read some good reviews on it but for $25, its quite an investment.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
Go with Realook.. Much better IMO

I tried CC one time && didn't like it at all.

lol $25 is a big investment...
[Vibrant Accessories] anthonys2r:
$25 for 2 pieces of plastic? yea thats quite an investment
[Vibrant Accessories] murdockr:
Doesn't it already have gorilla glass? Has anyone had a scratch? Had mine for four months and zero scratches.
[Vibrant Accessories] techboydino:
I highly recommend Clear Coat as a company. I found that SP to be the best for my HD2 and Mytouch. They are easy to install and have a great warranty. The film has less orange peel than Zagg and seem to hold up much better. Either way you can just take it back once in a while for a free replacement.

With that said, I like the Realook better for the Vibrant. The installation is really easy and screen retains the glass like feel instead of a rubbery like finish. The only things I don't like about the realook is that they smudge really easy, and without the screen lit, there is multicolor streaks underneath. No big deal since its only noticeable when the screen is off, just something to note.
[Vibrant Accessories] Master™:
Yeah..There have been a lot of people with scratches.

Having your vibrant w/o a SP is like running into a bush naked...

You get all scratched up lol

Hands down, and believe me I am a huge critic. Get Ghost Armor. Period. Soft tough feels good, and you can actually tell its a Vibrant :)

Ive been loving the Bodyguardz SP I picked up, smooth, no image distortion, and lifetime warranty against tears and scratches. Oddly enough, I have scratched the SP with my finger nail, a couple of days later the scratches are not there anymore, even with a close inspection. If I ever try another it will be reallook, but for now Bodyguardz gets my vote.

I've never been flashing ROM before. I'm using eclair with voodoo lagfix.

I want to install my initial ROM (DXJG4). I plan to do the following :

1. Disable lagfix (voodoo). Reboot

2. Enter download mode

3. Using Odin, install PDA tar.md5 using .512 pit

4. Do I need to check "Re-partition" box? what is the difference between check or uncheck re-partition?

5. Do I need to check "phone EFS clear" box ?

6. Do I need to re-install Phone and CSC tar.md5 ?

Is it the right thing?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
Now, in 2.1 version, when battery is low, in the upper left corner (when screen is locked) we can see its percentage.

It's a great feature, but I would prefer read it whatever percentage is the battery :)

So, I'm searching this setting in all over the phone :p

Any idea? I hope it is not in the apk package of screen lock application..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] FrostySonic:
I use an app called "Battery Indicator" to show it in the notification bar (which of course you can see in the lock screen)

The pro version also has cool things like custom levels for changing the colour, as well as logging
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] David_GT:
Hello guys!

I've been reading this forum for many time, and now I decide to participate! (sorry for my bad English, I'm from Spain)

In my opinion, use and specific widget to inform about the battery status in lock screen involves using a specific application with the extra battery consumption that this implies, I tested widgetlocker but many times the original lock screen appears... and battery consumption increases.

I use to notice a h symbol in my notification bar which I assumed my network was connected to hspa but I havent seen it in months how can I connect to it?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Were you running a custom rom? Stock doesn't/has never shown this for me. I get the slightly higher speeds I believe though.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
3g = h.

h = 3g.

Only custom roms show H. But even if it "just" shows 3g, you're still connected to the same network.

It's like the difference between pancakes and flapjacks. Some people call em pancakes. Some people call em flapjacks.

In the end they're the same damn thing.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ true, but sometimes in my area I will have 3G, sometiems H, and sometimes Edge... (on my Nexus One). Seems odd that the phone makes a distinction between 3G and H if there is no difference. I also prefer the H and wish it showed on my phone (Vibrant this time) instead.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
The distinction sometimes refers to basic UMTS, but at least in the United States, every UMTS tower has HSPA upgrades. The reason the distinction even started was because in Europe, there were many towers that were UMTS-only without HS[D/U]PA upgrades. That's not the case here.

On the other hand, now ROMS sometimes show H for HSPA+ areas. That is all fine and dandy, except that your Vibrant doesn't go faster than 7.2mbps HSDPA, or 5.6mbps HSUPA. It's not like when your phone is showing "H", that you're magically going to get faster speeds than your phone was designed to achieve.

So when it comes back to the OPs question, of "connecting" to a faster network, it's irrelevant. Once you're on 3g, it's all the same network. HSPA+ and HSDPA and UMTS are all the same network - just different data upgrades. And your phone will ALWAYS try to access the fastest data upgrade that it can.
[Vibrant General] nguyenmd:
it's depend on the phone i think. Before i switch to the vibrant (3G display), I used HD2.

On the HD2, i got H notification all the time. And speedtests on both phones yielded same results.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^^ great read, and I understood all of it... I just never understood why sometimes I got 3G and sometimes I got H in the notification bar, makes sense I suppose. I realize the same speeds were usually achieved.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adamchap:
Hi all,

Been fiddling with WiFi on my stock Euro latest ROM TP2. Not really had cause to use WiFi too much up until recently hence the interest.

I've noticed in the advanced WiFi properties screen, where the signal strength bar and Tx/Rx rate figures, that when I first connect to my wireless network, the Tx/Rx is 54Mbps for both, then after around 5 seconds, the Rx rate drops down to 1Mbps and stays there.

The WiFi is set to "best performance" instead of "best battery life" - not that it seems to make much difference to me.

How can I get & KEEP the Rx rate to 54Mbps?

PS: While I'm asking WiFi questions, how to stop WiFi being turned off when I switch the screen off?

Thanks in advance,

Adam.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonto:
Mine did the same thing. I changed my router from "Auto-negotiate" to a hardset 54Mbps transmit/receive rate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The bit rate is determined by the router, not the device. jonto's solution would appear to be the correct one for you.

As for keeping wifi alive while the screen is off, check this thread. Be advised that your battery will drain MUCH faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adamchap:
Thanks guys.

The router solution is awkward as my router, a brand new, top end Netgear N300 offers 802.11n/g mixed mode - but only 300Mbps/54Mbps, and can't be set to a specific rate.

I'm curious though. The router is broadcasting at 54Mbps on 'g' and all my other WiFi devices can pull data at >1Mbps and my TP2 sees 54Mbps for a few seconds before dropping back to 1Mbps.

Surely that shows the device is actually picking up the faster speed and the router is transmitting it, but the TP2 is for some reason dumping the speed downwards?

Does anyone else notice this behaviour or want to try out what I said in my original post?

Thanks everyone,

Adam.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
300Mbps is the theoretical max for 802.11 N. 54Mbps is the theoretical max for 802.11 G. It doesn't mean either will ever hit those speeds. That's just the highest transfer rate that is possible on either protocol. I would suggest that you might have too many things connected to the router or your bandwidth is less than the amount of traffic the network is requesting.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adamchap:
Yeah I appreciate all of that - but even with a single device - the Touch Pro2 - on the network, I get just 1Mbps from it. If I put just my laptop over WiFi, I hit 40-odd, so that's taking account of the overheads. If my desktop (wired) is on, I get up towards the 100Mbps I should do.

It's definitely the TP2 at fault here. Any more ideas?

I have a debranded Desire 2.2 which is not rooted. Inside my phone i have an 8gb sd card which contains data for many apps as i use adb push apps to sd.

To debrand my phone, i created a gold card from a seperate 2gb sd card.

My question is; Is there any way i can make my main sd card into my gold card without affecting any of my apps which i have stored on it? The reason i am asking this is that i require my gold card for any future updates and this will save a great deal of hassle with reinstalling applications everytime i require an update.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IammenotyoU:
Hi,

I've been checking around the forums, and I've seen similar instances, but they seem to all be with the Canadian version which is why I thought I would ask before doing anything else.

I have the Galaxy S i9000 european version. Was rooted, and had lagfix (Voodoo) and was using stock ROM.

Using ROM manager I flashed the clockwork mod recovery. Booted into recovery everything went well. (was just testing that it works).

So now I click reboot and it gives me the static galaxy s screen, then the moving S. Waits for about a min or two, then screen goes black. :(

So i tried going to recovery mode, that works, but its the samsung 2e recovery mode not the clockwork recovery mod.

So now I'm not sure how to continue. Before I put on the voodoo fix, I did a backup using CWM. its on the internal SD card though. So I though if there was some way to access CW recovery mode perhaps I could restore my backup (assuming that my internal SD card isn't toast like from what I understand most people in Canada are experiencing). I haven't tried flashing with ODIN or adb as I don't want to screw things up more. I can however confirm that I put the phone in download mode, connected to PC, and ODIN did recognize it as 0:[COM15]

Just for reference, I've downloaded I9000XXJF3 (I'm 99% sure that is the version it shipped with) from Samfirmware, which contains a few .tar files. (no pit files) Just in case I have to flash with ODIN (never used it before), please let me know if I do need a pit file.

Sorry for the long winded thread, just wanted to provide all info. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IammenotyoU:
Follow up: I attempted to flash I9000XXJF3 with ODIN with PIT512 and re-partition enabled. Flash seemed ok. Phone rebooted as expected, except it went into 2e recovery. So I selected reboot, and now it did its normal boot got to the moving galaxy s screen and then black again. Any suggestions before I try to take it in for service?
