From the preliminary data I've seen, Tegra 2 is a bit faster, significantly so with Flash vector rendering (though that's likely just because Flash hasn't been optimized for the Mali-400). It's looking like the Mali-400 is 10%-25% slower than Tegra 2, assuming the test data I've seen is based on a dual-core Mali-400 setup, which I'm reasonably certain it is.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jibreil:
There was even a blog where they ran a Quadrant and FPS test on LG Optimux 2x, Motorola Atrix and Samsung Galaxy S 2 - The overall winner was LG as its bearing the Tegra 2 along with Gingerbread; whereas Motorola Atrix is Tegra 2 with Froyo.

Wow... that's interesting. It's kind of a bummer knowing that the iPad2/iPhone5 hardware will be better than the Tegra2 phone/tablets...

Edit: Also just saw this on Engadget - http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/imagination-technologies-powervr-sgx543mp2-really-is-faster-be/

With the SGX543 being 4x faster than the Nexus's SGX540, and the SGX540 being on par with Tegra 2's GeForce ULV GPU, all these Tegra 2 devices will be getting outdated quite fast =\

That just killed my enthusiasm for Galaxy S 2 :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darklordkk:
Actually a Tegra 2 Galaxy S II pretty much has piqued my enthusiasm for it. I know in raw numbers a Quad Core Mali 400 looks to run circles around a Tegra 2. But Tegra 2 is the reference platform for Android 3.0 (and possibly 2.4 which looks to combine the tablet and phone platforms). In all probability, Android will be optimized for Tegra II and Mali 400 might not outperform it at all. PLaying the same game on a HTC Desire HD with the ADreno 205 and a Galaxy S with the PowerVR SGX 540 shows no discernable difference at all. So the extra horsepower is pretty much not utilized unless the app is optimized for it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Really... what games specifically? I've tried games on my MT4G and my Vibrant/Nexus S and they ALWAYS ran smoother and faster on the hummingbird. Jet car stunts, asphault 5, dungeon defenders, reckless racing, etc... and in all graphics benchmarks adreno 205 loses to the SGX540.

BTW: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/samsungs-exynos-4210-flexes-3d-gaming-muscle-at-gdc-2011-video/

Looks like samsung's chip might actually be quite capable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darklordkk:
Practically the same games. I found hardly any difference. Apart from Hero of Sparta and some scenes in Skies of Glory with many planes, they both are pretty much on par as to what i've seen. Of course the Hummingbird is faster overall that is not in doubt. I just meant the difference is not very "discernable"

Mali for the win

i was getting pretty bummed out mali 400 but them i saw the odroid-a benchmark numbers on gl-benchmark( the odroid-A has the exynos). Since glbenchmark is so dependent on resolution you can scale up the scores to see what it would be at ipad res.

Than we gonna SEE who is faster !

2.2 VS 2.3 ?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arronov:
yes, i agreed with you, i doesn't clearly fair enough to compete because sgs 2 using gingerbread and o2x still froyo....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thre3aces:
absolutely right m8

ive been following this thread for a while now and i have to put an end to all this bull**** you lot are saying.

2.3 is not like what 2.2 was to 2.1. 2.2 was a huge speed boost compared to 2.1 with the arrival of jit. but 2.3 is not a HUGE speed boost. I believe there are some improvements in 3d graphics but not that much.

the reason why you havent seem major graphics improvement on existing games on the mali 400 sgs2 is that the games arent OPTIMISED for it. Devs like gameloft havent got around to making games with super high detail to run on the sgs2's new hardware

Tegra 2 however is different. in games like dun def you can clearly see a distinct difference in graphics with tegra 2's version looking like the pc/console version of the game and the non-tegra version (THIS INCLUDES THE MALI 400) looking much worse but still great.

all you lot have been saying that the mali 400 is better because its faster. WRONG. Raw speed isn't everything, you need apps and games to use those resources properly.

so while the tegra 2 gpu is slower than the mali 400, it has far more content made for it. I dont see the mali 400 getting much dev love in the future since the only branded device ive seen using a mali gpu

Ill tell you lot what i tell my friends who thinks sgs2 is king. gaming wise the sgs2 is NOT a dual core beast (i know technically it is dual core). It just runs the single games with no extra eye candy, it just runs it really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really fast.

hope that helps you make up your mind
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
LOL!? Optimized for Tegra2? How so? The blow ass Vertical Floating Point crap they put in it? Or that POS GPU?

Sorry bud, I tried compiling Quake 3 with Tegra2 optimizations and it had ZERO improvements.

Meanwhile, the Exynos supports NEON which will give it VAST improvements as much as 20-25% more FPS.

Optimized for Tegra2 is funny. Google had to hax Honeycomb to work properly on Tegra2 because it can't handle multiple orientations. They downgraded to support Tegra2. That's why all Android tablets are the same, landscape tablets with 1280x800. It's not to be "HD", it's because the Tegra2 can't handle a portrait focused device properly.

That's why the Xoom 2 will have a 4:3 aspect ratio and be portrait mode mainly, much like the iPad. Which is what they originally wanted, but couldn't due to lack of a proper dual core SoC to support it.

The Tegra2 is an old piece of dirt compared to the A5 and the Exynos.

Even still, the A5 funnily enough trumps the Exynos, due to Apple and Sony buying all of Imagination Technologies GPU's for the Vita, iPad 2, iPhone 5, iPod touch 5th, etc.

It's funny, it's why OMAP came to the game so late. They wanted to wait and see if they wouldn't have to settle for the leftover SGX540's. Turns out leftover SGX540's is all OMAP can get their hands on ATM. Thats the Hummingbird GPU.

All of this being said, it's easy to know which SoC's will win 2011:

Sony PS Vita > Apple / Samsung A5 > Samsung Exynos > OMAP >< Qualcomm > Nvidia Tegra2

Not really fair though, as the Tegra2 is really a 2010 SoC, but the Kal El is a 2012 SoC... and isn't in devices yet. Plus I have no reason to doubt that the Vita is already going to be better than Kal El anyways.

I think I flashed an outdated superuser so I can no more boot my phone.

Is there a way to restore the stock boot ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlsmy:
What do you mean it doesn't boot? Like pressing power doesn't turn on the phone at all? Or that it gets stuck at the X screen? Reboot phone while holding down the VOL DOWN key and the POWER BUTTON. Select erase user data. That should put you back to stock. If not, download this http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip

And rename it PASSIMG and place it on the Root of your SDcard (not in a folder, just drag it to your phone's SDcard). Boot again the same way as before, holding down VOL DOWN and POWER. After it verifies the file, it will ask you to if you want to apply the PASSIMG. Hit VOL UP for yes and enjoy :D

If still under warranty and Bootloader Locked, call HTC Support for swap/repair.

Background

Ok this may be silly, but just wondered if there would be any interest in this idea I had earlier. What I love about Sense is that it's like each tab has almost moved past being a widget and has almost program like functionality, it seems to me this is really unique on a mobile device.

Concept

So I was thinking, what if it was possible to have extra tabs, in which ongoing programs could run, in something like a window. So for example, slide right one from a Facebook tab immediately into TCPMP, or continue one further into the File Explorer app? Why not extend the Sense UI?

Other thoughts:

1. I noticed that altering the tabs in sense causes a restart. I don't know if there is any way that this could be worked around, but otherwise I guess it's not possible to open up a whole new tab for each program. Perhaps there could be several open in which programs appear as they are run, with a customisable preference for the apps which appear on each tab/ a priority list?

2. maybe it would be possible to have something like a task switcher instead, I was thinking about something like the fantastic iManager, but where the app was fully functional in the tab, then could be switched with a nice simple gesture? This could skirt around the problem of new/blank tabs, and would be pretty cool!

3. Maybe this is nuts, as after all a quick tap on the home button will bring us straight back to Sense, but one less press is never bad right? And also the idea of a unified seamless UI is perfect for mobile in my opinion- I get frustrated by the jumping in and out of apps which Andoid and iOS require. CHT and Sense is exactly what is keeping me on WM

I can't code, but just thought I'd open the idea up to your opinions. Maybe someone who can wants this enough to do it?
[G Tablet Accessories] Tester30:
Just received "Tomtom Navigator 6 GPS Kit". Didn't test it yet as GPS, still charging.

What I noticed that it comes with the car charger that completely compatible with G-Tab. Connector size and 12V, 2A center positive.

Just to let people know who are looking for the car charger for the Tab.
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
Have you tried it yet?

I have one that someone gave me, from a broken portable DVD player. It also is rated 12V 2A, but I am afraid to try it.

The weird thing is that they also gave me the wall wart for the same DVD player, and it is rated at 9V 2.2A. That works perfectly for my ZT-180 tablet.
[G Tablet Accessories] Tester30:
Tested Bluetooth GPS unit with G-tab... Works perfect on GAdam 1.1.1.

As of charger, I'll give it a shot later on. Will post the results.
[G Tablet Accessories] Blackbird1100:
I haven't tried my DVD car charger either because even though it fits, it has a sticker on it that says "Do not use for battery recharging".
[G Tablet Accessories] Tester30:
SORRY!!!

Made an a$$ of myself.

Have to read more careful... That was input 12V, 2A... Although the plug is the right size.

Unfortunately output is 5V, 2A that does not charge the Tab....

So.... Went to Walmart and bought an inverter: "Philips" model DVDP32.

It charges Tab using regular A/C plug supplied with G-tab.

Price $20.

Now can use the Tab as GPS without draining the battery.
[G Tablet Accessories] themsn:

Intend to use CoPilot live 8.

Great GPS, have one on my HD2, windows thou.

Nice part is that you're not dependent on any connection, WiFi or 3G.

All maps are pre-loaded and updates coming regularly. It's nice to have it on the phone, but screen is small comparing to G-Tab. Otherwise NA edition costs only $19 right now, discounted from usual $26.
[G Tablet Accessories] themsn:
thanks for the tip as well as the deal tip.

but I can't find copilot on my market. (read somewhere that certain apps may not show up if hardware specs aren't fulfilled)

[G Tablet Accessories] Rumbleweed:
Got to Radio Shack and get a 12V auto adapter, they sell one that has changeable tips. There is nothing magic about the charger 12V 2A DC that's it.
[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
As long as that won't fry the tablet in the long run, sounds like an excellent idea.

Keep in mind that cars run about 13v to 14.6v, so unless the car adapter is already doing some regulation it might be higher than 12v. Personally, to be safe, I would get a cheap auto adapter, crack it open, put a voltage regulator inside to drop it down to something closer to the charger voltage, which IIRC is 7.4v (correct me if I am wrong) The factory charger is 12v 2a, so probably the charger is exactly perfect. But then again, I'm a belt and suspenders kinda guy.

Does anyone know if it is actually fine/good to charge it off 12v? Or is it one of those things that works fine but in a few months will end up frying the internal voltage regulator for the charging circuit because it got too hot or was just at the limit of its capabilities from running at 12v?
[G Tablet Accessories] LowSky:
Too bad the device wont charge over USB...
[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
I know, really wish it did... also wish that it had micro USB, not mini.

Now if only I could open it up and set up the USB power to raise up to the charging voltage and connect that to the charger. I doubt it has the room though. Anyone have pics of the inside?
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
If the auto adapter says that it has an output of 12V 2A, then that is what it will usually output. You can check the voltage fairly easily.

You're wrong.

It is 12V 2A, I don't know where you got your information from. Why don't you just look at the specs on the power supply?
[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
Was under the impression he was using one of the adapters that just gave you power from the car but had no form of voltage control and just a fuse. I had a friend fry a Garmin with a cheap '12 v' adapter that was just fused, so just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the correction, I just didn't have a charger near me to check when I posted. But now I feel a lot better about car charging.
[G Tablet Accessories] grandebob:
I've been looking for a car charger for my incoming tab, I'll have to check out the shack.

The cheapo' ones from places like monopice or merit line bleed off extra voltage via heat, so they are easy to fry. A good charger that has the proper regulator circuitry to output at it's given rating should not get warm when used.
[G Tablet Accessories] cobrast6:
I agree I have changed all of my plugs from mini usb to micro now. =/
[G Tablet Accessories] noflegrapor:
Found one

Radio Shack has a 12v 2A charger with interchangable tips. The "B" tip is the one that fits, and I confirm it working. I am an idiot and didn't realize that the tip connections are polarized so I thought the charger was broken at first. Make sure to have the word "TIP" on the connector line up with the "INPUT" on the actual charger.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
well..you guys are somewhat right and somewhat wrong.

the 12VDC on a car can be anywhere from 11VDC (engine off, battery low) to 14.5VDC.

Careful with some of the plugs. If they are not regulated, it's just a voltage divider resistor in the power stage and may not be current limited.

On the other hand, if it is current limited, and the tablet starts pulling 2A from a 500mA (most cell chargers) plug, you'll let out the magic smoke that makes it work.

I've got it on the docket to do a true regulated 12VDC / 2A charger as well. I'll see if I can get some cheapies and do some testing to show you guys what I'm talking about but I need to get a small controllable load.
[G Tablet Accessories] couchmonkey:
this is what surprised me the most about the Gtab.

My two biggest gripes are that t has it's own proprietary charging and uses mini USB.

Who still makes products with miniUSB?
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
What do you mean by "proprietary charging"? It uses standard VDC, which is supplied by a power supply that plugs into a standard 110VAC wall socket.

I just bought a radio shack adaptor. It works but upon taking it apart, there's nothing but a fuse and a switch so I'm a little weary about using it. I can't find a volt meter right now to take a measurement at the moment. If I do get a steady 12v, it's most likely because of the car.

It only cost like $12 or $15, can't remember.
