[Thunderbolt General] Konner920:
The reason for the dual cores is actually more for games. Android may not be able to utilize them, but games can. Hence "Vendetta Online" requires a tablet or a big screened phone, and requires the Tegra 2 chipsets to even play the game. That's the reason for the dual cores, so better quality games can be made for Android. That's why people want the dual cores, It actually does enhance speed within android, and it gives more potential for better quality games to be released on the platform.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
Oddly tho it may not be needed. Just a little better coding in the first place. Look at the iPhone. It has virtually the same chipset as Samsung galaxy s and it can play all these games that are basically ports from iOS

Just so you know... Google has already been developing an OS version of Android that not only uses dual core processors, but even requires them.

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/google/ces-android-honeycomb-to-require-dual-core-processors/2734

If they've already had dual core processors enough to build an entire version of Android that fully implements them, do you really think they're that far behind in developing the cell phone version optimized for it?

Have you ever stopped to wonder why Nexus S updates don't seem to be flying out as fast as Nexus One updates at this SAME time last year?

And for your information, Windows XP had multi-threading support from its inception, it just only did it in Professional and not home.

http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=11780

The "dual core" update you're thinking of, was to fix a stuttering problem that occurred with Athlon X2 processors back in 2006. But nice going manipulating that tidbit.

"Dual" processors isn't a new idea that was introduced in 2005 with the Pentium D. Dual processors has been around for decades and it didn't take long for software developers and enthusiasts to put them in mainstream machines. Dual-core was just a way of enabling multiple threads for applications to divide tasks. It's a very efficient way of maintaining high performance while multitasking.

Also, Qualcomm shipped out its development dual-core CPU's last year in summer. Developers have had them for some time now. Blame NDA's and marketing for why no one knows about it. (Do you really think people would buy a Nexus S if they knew developers were already working on multi-threaded applications?)

In my opinion, people should stop whining about what other people whine about. I agree, Thunderbolt 4G is a great phone. But not having dual-core is a legitimate disadvantage in the wake of devices coming out in the near future.

It's too bad tech blogs don't care about facts.
[Thunderbolt General] civicvx94:
I think there's a clear misconception here about the processor the Thunderbolt will have. It is indeed 'still' a 1ghz Snapdragon, but it is the second generation snapdragon. The previous gen (incl in Dinc, N1, Evo, etc) is much less powerful than the current. The second gen processor has a dedicated gpu, which is a huge improvement. This also allows for the processor to be overclocked to higher speeds, regardless the Quadrant scores are nearly double at the same 1ghz speed. At the same time, they've bumped up the ram a decent bit too. I came from the nexus to the mytouch4g (first gen to second gen 1ghz snapdragon) and the difference is unreal. I consider the current line of HTC phones and processors to be more refined and drastically improved versions of last years line.

Just my $0.02
[Thunderbolt General] rushless:
Yep:

8650 in Inc is 65nm (8255 has 45nm) and the gpu in the Thunderbolt is MUCH faster. It still is not same level as the Tegra 2 and there is a reason Tegra 2 is the standard for Honeycomb dev work and tablet OEMs are shifting to it in droves even- Samsung.

None the less, the 8255 is a big step up from the 8650 (odd number convention for a new chip with lower number). Had I not been seeing how fast the Tegra 2 really is with the gTablet, I may have went for the Thunderbolt. Extra 256mb ram in Thunder is good though.

I still might get the Thunderbolt, since HATE locked down bootloaders and Bionic will probably be locked down.

Added: Yes, IMO, Blur UI does suck.

Do unlocked desire hd's (mine from hk) receive OTA updates?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengork:
Yes
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
They do but luckily for you, HTC have pulled the most recent update as it was causing problems for users! When the update is back up and you flash it you will be unable to root your DHD as HTC have patched the exploit we have used to attain root.

The lastest update didn't add any unmissable features, but just fixed some bugs (such as the above mentioned exploit) and added others, there is an improvement in battery life but that is due to the new radio, which you can flash seperately.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuicetinDude:
Ahh. Thanks for the info, but is it difficult to root the DHD? I previously had a rooted HTC hero.

Hi, I am using my G1 sim on my tab. Messaging and calling work fine and the internet DOES work, but it does not let me go on any sites. It always redirects me to the T-Mobile website. What can I do to fix this issue?
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
This issue has been widely discussed on this forum. T-mo is checking your imei and redirecting to their website because they want you you to sign up for a specific data plan. The only solution is to fake the imei of your tab. There is a thread for it. The search button is your friend.

So Ive installed BetterCut. and came acrros the problem, that I cant find a "home" or I just cant change icons and the application FCs on me.. ive tried changing to LauncherPro but I get the same problem,.

Is there another app I can use to change Icons?

i use golauncher ex and i like it because you dont have to delete the icon on yr homescreen and add it again to change the icon. you can just press and hold like you were going to delete it and tap replace to change the image.

I find that sometimes my streak (318) seems to automatically restart in my pocket.of course I'd like to find out the cause.is there an app which shows me the uptime and a way to read any logs that may have been written just before and after the reboot?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxerlover02:
i seem to have the same problem
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
Do you use SetCPU or any 3rd party apps?

Some people suggested the restarts may be caused by overclocking the CPU
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betono:
I am using stock 318 rooted, without setCPU or any fixes and i also have a problem with restarts.

It is pretty random - last time happened in the morning just after disconnecting the charger after overnight charging session...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxerlover02:
yea im running stock 2.2 318 with no mods at all and it happens more times then i would like, a few times it just shuts down on me in my pocket and stays off
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
I caught mine restarting once and it just stayed on the dell logo. had to pull battery and restart. 318, no mods

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedy350z:
Make sure it is not your battery door. It has to be on reel food or there is a switch that will shut it down. I had this problem when i first got mine i would set the phone down and it would reboot. I taped a half a business card on the back of the battery. it helps push the back out a little and ensures the back on switch makes contact.

Never had the problem again.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malim:
Battery cover

Yes the battery cover is the culprit... Try to push your battery in different are and you might see your device rebooting..
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boxerlover02:
Its was the battery/battery door for me cuz since going and getting s new one I have not had a singel restart. If any of you guys are still with in your 30 days got return it
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samstables:
Mine has always done it, but since going to the official O2 2.2 upgrade it now gets stuck on the Dell logo when rebooting, so I have to take the cover off and remove the battery to get it to restart properly. Interestingly it never seems to do it when I'm using it - only when I go to pick it up, I find it's either just gone off or stuck on Dell logo. I guess it must be the back so I'll go stick a train ticket behind it and hope it solves it! I've not had problems with the back being loose and can actually take the back off for several seconds before it dies... which makes me wonder if it is just a loose cover....
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braunstonbruce:
My 2.2 Froyo with 318 has done this twice now. Took it out of my pocket this morning to find it stuck on the Dell logo and extremely hot. When I'd done the usual battery out fix it showed it had lost about 50% of its charge. Earlier this morning it was giving me a warning about a defective charger when I unplugged it. Installed Battery Solo Widget recently so I'm wondering if that played a part in the problem.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youbethor.detzatze:
Reboot while on the phone

Mine as well. It freezes while i was on the phone. I had to remove the battery to restart the phone. 5 hours later it rebooted itself. I have an official ROM. I have rooted my phone 3 weeks ago. I wonder if this is the reason....

I try to shake the phone just to see if it is because the battery but nothing. It starts to annoy me.

Do you think I need to send it back?

YD.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
Mine got stuck on the logo with 318 and i had to re-qdl tool it to get it back going. Hapened twice. put att 1.6 back on and had problems with restarts and it going back to factory state. im on the 3 replacement now
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sejtam:
I have a new theory on this.my EU Streak (318 froyo nonrooted) keeps resetting when in the pocket, out when I carry it in my defender case, under some short or so. It.s also warm here, so I'm starting to suspect that the reset s are temperature related.

Just now, I left home with 96 percent battery. I played some music and it stopped after ca 10 minutes. Dead. Cant revive without battery removal. I was only able to get to that another 6 or do minutes later. And then it showed the battery to be empty, red.

It must gave chewed through 90% in those 6 dead minutes.

Does anyone know of a software to monitor (and log to sd card) the internal temp, etc?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sejtam:
And just now it rebooted itself while sitting quietly on the desk. Well ventilated. sigh
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioninardo:
Hello, i'm having problem with my streak5 (just bought used)... It runs froyo 2.2.2.

Some times it shut down and it's not possible to restart. Every time it's necessary to plug the charger for 10-20 seconds.

The same things happen if i remove the battery: In order to restart i have to plug the recharger...

Someone has an idea?

So im new to the nook and zeam. Not new to rooting or android.......but seeing how i love and use sense ui on my Evo i do have a few questions.

I don't know if these are zeam launcher related or just a bi product of the rooted nook but i cannot get any picture frame widget to work.

When i go to add item>widget>select either the stock picture frame or any of the market downloaded ones>takes me to the gallary to select a photo...after i crop that's it...it doesn't add or anything...

And also

When i longpress home screen in zeam and select add item/shortcut it just reloads the homescreen....i have to open the app drawer and longpress the app shortcut i want to place in the homescreen.

Do i need to uninstalll/reinstall?

Yeah...just to check I tried it on mine (running LaunPro) and it didn't work for me either.

Not that long ago, Verizon replaced my Droid Eris with a Droid 2. I had the Eris rooted. I have yet to root my Droid 2. I am curious as to what is the fastest rom there is for the Droid 2.

I am looking for something that is fast and has good battery life.
[Droid 2 General] NeoWave:
Liberty and fission are very very fast,

the battery life of fission is awesome if you put you overclock your phone in low voltage

I just switch to liberty so i'm not 100% sure about battery life but seems to be as awesome as fission

good luck!
[Droid 2 General] mistermr:
I have been using Liberty and the 1.45Ghz preset in the overclocker app, and I get amazing battery life as well as awesome stability.

Sent by my Droid 2 running Liberty 1.0
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Liberty hands down.

It's ultra smooth and fast, very highly customizable (and easy to customize at that), and I've had the best battery life I've ever had on a smartphone with it. I have it overclocked to 1.35GHz on ultra low voltage with no problems at all. Simply the best ROM around.

What voltage are you running that on? I've got mine up to 1.35GHz on ultra low stable so far. At 1.4GHz with ultra low voltage it starts lagging realy bad. However it never froze completely even with 1.45GHz on ultra low voltage. With Fission, at 1.2GHz I would get random reboots.

At 1.35GHz ultra low voltage with liberty im getting 1701 quadrants (no stagefright of course) and 18 mflops (give or take a bit)

Can someone enumerate the differences between these two kernels? As far as I can understand, they're essentially the same other than calling the lagfix by a different name.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Nobody can tell you which will provide the best result on your phone. Most make the determination based on the effect they have on battery which can be very different, even with all else seemingly being equal.

Also am I extracting them into the wrong place ? If so where should they be extracted too and what is the proper way to extract these files ?

Not to complicate things, but it's usually possible to flash back to stock without a pit file. I've done it from Froyo by just using the true stock image without pit. Each phone seems to be a little different. Sometimes, you can't, but from what I've seen and read here, a pit isn't always necessary.
