[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
So a few news sites are showing off the Quadrant score of the Nexus S running CM7: http://www.talkandroid.com/27099-nexus-s-scores-high-on-quadrant-benchmarks-running-cyanogenmod-7/

One thing I noticed is that the CPU Score is 5372. When I run Quadrant Advanced on my i9000 the CPU Score is only 1371. What has changed in CM7 that gives the Hummingbird processor so much more computational power and how do we get it on the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitty1990:
Think those guys just know what they are doing when it comes to Android unlike Samsung :/ lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
I'd be interested to see how the stock Nexus S firmware does in the same benchmark. I don't care about the overall Quadrant score, just the cpu part. I wish we could have CM on SGS :(
[G Tablet General] jpap2002:
I am running 2.2 at this time. I am wondering if updating to newer version would be wise move. Any advice would greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet General] sidtron:
I just ordered my g tablet an hour ago but have been investigating for the past day or two. Though I have never even held one of these, I'm pretty certain based on stuff in this forum and elsewhere that all tnt updates have significantly improved the device. Using a custom ROM could improve things further but at the very least, updates from viewsonic should be no-brainers.
[G Tablet General] copc:
If you are already running the TNT custom rom from robeet, then yes update to the latest one, it was the best to me.

Hope you enjoy it when you get it try out all the roms and have fun with it.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
An update from Viewsonic is way overdue. The last update, almost a month ago, introduced or accentuated a severe performance issue when the tablet comes out of sleep. According to their website the 12/23/2010 update (3389) was a huge success. True that it introduced some new stuff, but it also crippled the tablets.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3452 popped its head up about a week back, but it must have been UAT. I expect a fully supported and non-UAT update by the end of the month.
[G Tablet General] astevens54:
I am using TnT 4.1. Give it a shot, very smooth.
[G Tablet General] jpap2002:
Do I need to go thru the all the steps posted by Reeboot for the 4.1 TnT Update? Or can I just down load the update.zip to my "sdcard" and use Clockwork to update? The reason I asked is because I tried and got a an update failure. Sorry that I am asking such NOVICE questions. Any help would be great.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

They (VS) just posted on another thread ("OTA") that they have a new OTA coming out on 1/20.

I've been using 3452 (downloaded from VS, then used standard recovery), almost since it came out, and I haven't noticed the lag or lag on wake problem. I'm not saying that 3452 doesn't have the lag problem, but no one as far as I know has been able to confirm for 100% sure whether or not 3452 incorporated the kernel fixes for that. I'm just saying that I haven't noticed the problem on my Gtab.

Jim
[G Tablet General] cbmoore9:
You need to follow Roebeets instructions and extract the zip file to the SD card. Don't put it in a folder. I left the 2.2 version in a subfolder. It should load right up then. You will need to do the Market fix on the new version to get full market.
[G Tablet General] jpap2002:
Well it didn't go so good, like many others. I did a complete backe up with Clockwork and Titanium Pro. Then I repartitioned to 2048 and swap 0. Then tried to apply the update and it said could not find update, but when I tried to reboot it gets stuck after the "anima Boot" just a black screen. This can't be good. Just to clairify do I need newer verison of Tnt (i have 2.2) to make the update work or will it update from 2.2 to 4.1 with the update?

Edit: Thank you for all ur help. 4.1 is killer. Running, will update if bugs pop up.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisha21:
Not sure if anyone else had this behaviour.

Rooted my Archos 101it last week using the Urukdroid 0.3 files. Since then, the screen comes on every couple of hours. The lockscreen is displayed for a couple of minutes, no other activity takes place, then goes to sleep again. The only other thing I've noticed is that when the screen comes on, the alarm icon is present in the notification bar. I don't have any alarms set, and haven't installed any alarm apps.

Just wondered if this is normal "post-rooting" behaviour, or if anyone knows why this is happening?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
I have the same behavior.

I also don't know what is happening. I Suspect some internet activity, some sync ....
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisha21:
Are you using any of the custom kernels, or stock Android? Are you also getting the alarm clock symbol in the notification bar?

Haven't tried leaving it with wifi off, will try that tonight and see if it still happens.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
I have saurons kernel.

I read in another forum that the Kernel of the 2011-01-12 is working without this.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
I experienced the same without any custom kernel/ROM.

I'm pretty confident this issue arose in the 2.71 update and is caused by the Google frameworks apps. If i don't use the Market, Maps or Gmail, this does not happen.

I have made it a habit to close all running programs before shutting off, that seems to take care of it.
[Focus General] squarejp:
It seems like the bandwidth test for WP7 tells us that the Bluetooth of the Samsung Focus during a call interferes with the WiFi signal which slows down the download speed over WiFi dramatically.

Source: YouTube: "The Dark Side of Samsung Focus"
[Focus General] eried:
Can't be Windows doing QOS to keep the call smooth?
[Focus General] squarejp:
Cannot be the QoS, because after turning off Bluetooth during a 3G calling, the WiFi speed is back to normal. There is no problem using iPhone with call and WiFi Internet simultaneously
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Both bluetooth and wifi use the same 2.4GHz radio. Try change your wifi router's wifi band to see if it makes any difference.
[Galaxy 3 General] baicunko:
Hello, i'm kinda new to this firmware cooking thing!

I've got an I5800L galaxy 3 and i would really like to try some new firmwares!

I've read that from 2.1 everyone chooses JK1, which i really don't know what it its!

Shall i upgrade to 2.2? I'm really bothered with the Low memory for installing lots of applications.

What shall i do? Get a good 2.1 firmware and wait for official 2.2? Or install 2.2 right now? If that, where can i get it?

Sorry 'bout my english.

Hope you understand

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Looks like everyone has upgraded to 2.2, where can i get it? I'm looking to install also lagfix, any help would be appreciated
[Galaxy 3 General] om2don:
Well,

i had installed a few versions of 2.2(cant remember witch exactly) for my wife's galaxy 3, and all had some problems... battery life less than a day for all of them.

so that was unusable for her, and than changed it to jk1, and now every thing works like it should...( except gps, witch was the problem with all the firmwares from the start).

so my response is to wait for factory 2.2
[Galaxy 3 General] haree:
not development related moved to genral
[Galaxy 3 General] baicunko:
Oh ok, and where can i get Jk1?
[Galaxy 3 General] turboblaz:
On samfirmware.com but u must sign up for free.

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 General] joe_hahn:
JP9

JP9 is better firmware for Froyo in my opinion.

JPA, JPB and JPF drain the battery more than the other.

u can get it here (u must login first) : samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm
[Galaxy 3 General] apollo5801:
JPF is the best and latest firmware so far. It has good battery life and performance. Lagfix improves performance furthur.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
i am a business management student...so i thought of sharing my perspective over how Sony Ericsson is playing the smartphone game...

by exagerrating a lot before the product launch ...and after the launch..giving small doses of updates so customers dont change phone in the hope of getting new features.

think of it..

they build great hype for a product months before the launch by strong advertising (probably spending more on ads than R&D itself) , promising a revolutionary interface with ground breaking custom interfaces....X panels for X1 (remember?) and timescape/mediascape (biggest garbage) for X10 ..both over-ambitious

just so they can differentiate from other companies..

ya they have great product design.. which initially attracts impulse buyers...they build anticipation...so we cant wait to get our hands on their phone!

and then they finally launch the product which will NEVER have the latest updates because their entire focus was on marketing the product i.e bringing it to market before competition and capturing market share.

they never really focussed on industry shaking R&D like Apple..c'mon without Apple, touchscreen was a dead market.

and without Android...Apple had a monopoly.

This is revolution....not timescape or mediascape..which are my least favourite apps...battery sucking with extremely slow response rates.

then they ll keep launching small small updates over couple of months...more like over a year...adding little features..so we dont change brand loyalty....giving the wounded customers a faint vision of hope...

finally they release a small update and the entire community goes 'wow' with excitement...like a virgin getting his first blowjob.

by that time..the phone has suffered scratches, has started showing signs of wear..which means very low re-sale value.

and meanwhile announcement for newer model is made...slimmer, sexier with more bugs which will be fixed via update over the next upcoming year.

good strategy for a short-term profit making....but they are losing brand loyalty.

i am not gonna buy SE Xperia Arc...ya its the sexiest phone on the market.

but its like a hot model u bang and can never have a healthy relationship with...coz she is dumb and full of flaws on the inside...such as daddy issues etc.

/rant

its like they keep us jumping over small small updates like a cat does to a string which the master will never let it catch.

epic comment

well it's true and from your perspective which one is better?

i know getting a big income is the main focus of any company but hey customers loyalty also counts. it's something i hate from sony in general, they keep pushing new tech every year and let the customer to feel outdated
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:

[XPERIA X10 General] ptesmoke:
bang on, while i am happy with my x10 as it was my first droid comming from a long **** list of wm devices, i am also not going to be sticking with se, already contemplating the droid 2 global, yes se makes sexy phones but, im looking for something a little more with my next device.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Funny thread :rolleyes:

so what do you think about HTC's strategy with Desire ( Desire/HD/Z )

Just because they released a better handset after a year of the previous handset's release it doesn't mean that they do not care about brand loyalty...

so what? you want them to stick with the X10 for two years while other competitors advance with technology????

believe it or not, many will buy the ARC, even more that who bought the X10...

Next time, go buy an HTC or Motorola :)

and by the way, Samsung is locking their bootloader so do not buy a Samsung android so you won't end up whining like many here about unlocking it, unless you like samsung :cool:

but despite all that, I would like to thank you for the effort made by you to explain what many of us are not aware of.. it's a good practice for your uni :p

good luck mate with your studies
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Well, I wish you luck with the business management, since your management of the English language makes me want to punch babies in the stomach.

Also, replace "Sony Ericsson" with

[XPERIA X10 General] blingin:
Grammar and syntax of the English language is not the point of XDA in MHO...

Very well written, kudos to you Nocturnal310...
[XPERIA X10 General] Borecz1:
@Nocturnal310:

Of course you're right. But as someone said before, you could say this about any company producing technical stuff and you would be right as well. (I expect some very negative comments on what I'm about to say...). I understand your point, but I just don't think that SE is somehow different in their approach from any other company producing consumer goods (is that right? stuff which are bought in great numbers just to be replaced by newer models...you know, we have to watch out for our English, right iead1? :) ). Thats quite important because we just can't expect infinite support for our product, because sooner or later (the former is more probable) it will get replaced with brand new model with brand new stuff inside making it lot more attractive. The only thing we can complain about is, that the support may have last longer... thats true. But despite all of that, I'm still not changing the brand loyalty as I just dont know what else should I buy next time. I dont like Apple and their iStuff, also don't like HTCs because of how they look. Samsung is an option, but if I should choose between Samsung and SE just by looking at the phones, SE would definitely win (and with Samsung locking their bootloaders as well, I wouldn't help myself much by buying it). You may call me a hardcore fan of SE who doesn't think about what he's buying, but thats not me. I just think that X10 was an unfortunate mistake (which I personally still love!) of SE and I really hope they will learn from it for the reasons mentioned above.

Thats my opinion and I do not force anyone to share it, but I wanted to say it, because I just don't uderstand all that poeople saying how betrayed they feel by SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] hamed1297:
i think SE`s problem is that they don`t really know what they do,at least so far.

they use UIQ for a while then they leave it.

they use win mo,but after x1 and x2 they desided to go for android.

but now Android is very good platform and they should find their way.i hope so.

their main mistake is that they don`t care about customers and the weak points of their products.
[XPERIA X10 General] mr_at_sgs:
I must add my mustard ...

There was a time long ago, Sony Ericsson created really nice phones with a solid build quality. My x10 is 3 weeks old and is making crazy noises when twisted a bit. The whole frame is not stiff enough.

If I saw it right on arc video presentations at youtube, the crappy timescape is now a widget and it is still choppy. This uggly blue is still there. Why blue? SE colors are Green and Orange. What a bunch of stupid designers ... I think w'll have a lot of alternatives out there with lesser crappy UI-Mods.
[XPERIA X10 General] moacyrfilho:
Well, I agree with most of your points, but let's remember: they're not ceasing support, they're launching a new model and planningto lock x10 customers in outdated Android. Motorola intended to do that too, but customers did such a big buzz that they changed their minds. The bull**** about low performance on Android 2.2 is already discarded, we can see that on all the unofficially built ROMs available at xda-forums. I risk to say that even Google has his part on this entire drama. Obviously, Sony Ericsson and their UXP loaded with much more processing hunger than x10 can support is the one we should blame, because we chose to buy SE, not Google devices (which are HTC, actually :-P). The removal of MediaScape from Arc tells us that they know where the problem is. Let's hope they fix this "problem" on x10 too.

I truly hope no one takes my comments personally, since I'm just expressing my opinion as a SE consumer. I still like them, but not how they use my money.
[XPERIA X10 General] robbyf66:
Apple Iphone 3G is still getting latest updates - same day as the latest iPhone 4, not ALL the features because it's got old hardware but there aware of that.

SE should be aware of it to, yes x10 can run 2.1 2.2, 2.3 ect so they should. There opinion is why there not updating. (why not the majority, the users decide)

Why can't we get hardware based updates? HTC magic/hero got tons of updates..

Yes new models will come out, but it's the same OS to update, not that much off a difference, our devs do there work in spare time and takes 2-3 weeks to come up with ASOP OS, (which is what i prefer anyway). Imagine an entire DEV team full time? yes it takes more time for testing ect but still.....

At least SE have reconized they F'd up. that's the first step!
[XPERIA X10 General] ChrisMCP:
They say a lot. Saying and doing are not the same.
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
I think they removed the mediascape app because it was so hard to new people to find the music player and photo gallery.

just think about it:

you have a new phone, and you would like to play some music, you first go to the music player but you can't find it because there is no music icon on the menu :confused:

Grab a samsung phone and try to play some music, the player is called "Music", the video player is "Videos" and the gallery is "Gallery"
[XPERIA X10 General] loneLEE:
You are comparing with 2 companies with different calibers.

Apple - every designer/ad agency/design house/design school in this world purchase their 'godly' machines for work purposes. And these macs don't come cheap, mind you. With that amount of revenue, they can afford to create an iPhone, using their 'lagless' (yeah, right) macintosh reputations to breed a colony of iZombies to support their cause.

With the iZombies having the need to own a iAmagodlyproduct, with such supporters pumping money into their pockets, they can afford to offset any losses by being nice to

Update old iPhones even if new models are out, cos they know iZombies are already impressed with them playing the nice card and that they are confident that with their good reputation and a better new phone out, A majority of iZombies who have too much money to spare will still buy it. They are just giving an aww-I understand-you-can't-afford-a-new-phone-yet-so-I-will-update-you-periodically-so-that-you-will-come-back-to-me-when-you-have-money message to the poorer parties.

Now for Sony Ericsson (or just insert any other brand names). Let me ask you. Though they are an established brand, but let me ask you, how many people will own 1 of those expensive TVs or VAIOS? Comparing with Apple, no competition.

They don't have that much extra revenue to play nice. They can only strategize and try to earn as such as possible before their products become obsolete.

It's just like people like Donald Trump, who has so much money to play with, he can just give away to some random person on the street if he wants to. But if you try doing up a business yourself, would you give away your money to charity organizations, knowing that you cannot afford to spend the money that way? Most probably not. Unless you don't mind closing down your business due to losses.

All these threads are getting sooooooo repetitive!!! There should be one big sticky for anyone who wants to ***** and complain in any way shape and form about SE. That way this form isn't flooded with every thread turning into a SE bashing thread. It really is getting tiring logging on to see what's new and the first 50 threads are people *****in about SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Lonelee - agree with much of what you say.. but it is also true that there are many many many people who go back time and time again to buy the next apple product BECAUSE they know that Apple will not leave the OS lagging behind on the old device when a new one comes out.. it's spectacularly good brand loyalty. SE (and many other) are taking a very short term view, and a missing a great opportunity to get us all on the hook for the next product..

In the UK for example, many phones bought on contract are free with a 2 yr contract tie in.. so if I know that they will look after me for 2 years, then I'll go back for more.. my contract's not due until Feb 2012.. so I'm eagerly awaiting to see their behaviour over the next 12 months!
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:
well I m back on XDA after exiting from blackberry platform...blackberry provided me a stable messaging device for a while but as needs changed, it was very poor for browsing and getting work with attachments done.

i was at a party few weeks ago and my friend took out his Xperia Z claiming this is the best camera phone.

to his disappointment, it was the darkest blurriest pic i have seen whereas my lumia 920 took a pic with DSLR-like clarity and image characteristics.

i am not sure how much sony has improved but seems like they are still a market follower and using marketing dollars to brag about their phones that do not perform as advertised.

after having wasted my student savings on 2 of their phones, I regret and wish I had bought a better phone for my first android experience.

product lifecycle

Hi,

I am not sure if I should blame any company for moving to newer (and maybe better) products. In the android phone market we have the nearly unique situation to be able to get our hands and minds at the software which is driving the product, at least partly.

This is quite different from cars or coffeemakers.

What I would like to from Sony is that when they decide to abandon a product (eg X10), they open up the sources of drivers etc, so that interested people can maintain their products for themselves.

I can understand that they wont open up the sources for current products.

Poor little thing is probably beat up and frozen in a snow pile somewhere by now :(. I left it clipped to my pocket but unfortunately it must have worked it's way out! So, I am looking for a replacement.

As much as I loved the little guy, perhaps there are other good models out there worth hearing about. I am pretty much looking for something similar with good quality, the one minor gripe I had with the thing was the touch volume control.

So what do you guys suggest? Buy another MW600 or go for something else?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azian_advanced:
try a hbh-ds980. it's older than the mw600, but it hangs around your neck and lets you access your phonebook and recent calls list remotely. it also doesn't have that touch sensitive volume bar in the mw600. some disadvantages to it are it isn't able to swap headphones, doesn't have FM radio, and a 3x shorter battery life.

as stated above, mw600 is best.

if you're ok with headphones instead of earphones, better sound quality, better comfort, better battery life, then definitely check out the sony dr-bt50.
