bench mark test

It's new we know it can be faster and I am not 100% about this kind of benchmarking

no biggie

I haven't brought mine yet and I wouldn't even imagine getting an Ispud
[Xoom General] alex2792:
The iPad 2 is amazing,all the beefs that drove me to sell my first gen shortly after I got it have been addressed. The browser is amazing now and with iswifter I can play all flash content I wanted as well. Goodbye Moto!

iswifter is a joke lol. Enjoy you half baked web experience. Flash is more then just video

Great now you don't have a reason to troll here again...bye.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
thank god. Hope they all follow suit
[Xoom General] calin75:
Whether the benchmarks really matter or not, they are feeding all the iTrolls.

Still, it is kind of dissapointing to see the iPad 2 mopping the floor with the xoom on all those test. I hope it's a software issue rather than a hardware, and that will be addressed later. :confused:
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Synthetic benchmarks are like a disease... people are perfectly happy until they see their device might not be the fastest. Suddenly the device is too slow...ice cream doesn't taste as good anymore...cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.

Anyone who is happy with the xoom and takes it back based on synthetic benchmarks is a moron.

[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
It's no different to a computer - just because another system benchmarks faster than yours, doesn't mean it's faster in the tasks you use it for. I'd rather have a slower GPU, same performance CPU and twice the RAM. This will allow for amazing applications in the future. The games I've tried so far on the XOOM work perfectly at 1280x800. Funny thing is, my old Macbook from 2008 had the same resolution on 13.3" screen and had trouble pushing graphics on it!!
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
You should see those idiots over in the macforums. That scene and the stigma that is inherent with a significant population of their users turns me completely off
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
The irony is they defend the fact that benchmarks don't matter when it suits them. Macs usually get creamed on game benchmarks vs PC s but I guess that doesn't matter.
[Xoom General] galtom:
I guess that applies to every side of any conflict of this kind.

But I have to say I will be more than interested to see how Samsung Exynos CPU deals with Honeycomb. It would be great to have two different hardware platforms competing against each other and both of them supporting Android.

Imagine what this would do to future devices and system itself! Quad Tegra coming out end of this year... what will be Samsung's reply? :-) Maybe Xoom 2 will not be Tegra any more.

For me the funniest thing about Mac/Apple is that they buy a lot of stuff (like CPU) put an apple on it and are trading it as their own idea and work :-)

Somehow I got the felling that would not work the other way round (me bouing a lot of iPads and selling them as product X - my own :-)

GLBenchmarks Egypt is not a synthetic benchmark. Its a real world benchmark. The first page here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4216/...rmance-explored-powervr-sgx543mp2-benchmarked

are synthetics. The second page here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4216/...ance-explored-powervr-sgx543mp2-benchmarked/2

are real world game performance. The Tegra 2 is simply outclassed, which is sadly ridiculous because it means another 3-6 months probably until a worthwhile Android tablet is released. The full review of the iPad2 and probably a more in depth comparison to the Xoom is coming on anandtech in the next week or so.
[Xoom General] galtom:
@muyoso

What is your opinion about Exynos and how do you think it will perform when compared to A5 and Tegra 2.

Maybe Nvidia just promised to much with Tegra 2?
[Xoom General] calin75:
Is it possible that honeycomb is not utilizing the full dual core power? Is honeycomb or tegra to blame? Is it both?
[Xoom General] Levi_G:
From what I've read about the gl benchmark it looks like it's a port so it's more than conceivable that it's not as well optimised. I also remember the tegra chips have an issue with quadrant benchmarks where they were slow but in real world games etc there was no issue.

The benchmark used is only v2 when there's a v3 out.

Personally I'm not bothered by the benchmark, it's an iPad which is enough to put me off buying it, so I'll continue waiting till all the main Android options are out and then pick one. I've got a preference for the asus transformer but I'll go for samsung/motorola if they're considerably better etc
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I remember reading about the Exynos and wasn't super impressed. Anandtech did some benchmarks if I remember correctly and it was roughly equal to the Tegra 2.

Here:

Yea, thats not impressive at all.

If thats accurate then it is somehow less powerful than my original Galaxy S phone (Epic4g) which scores a 21 on that test. I did hear though that Samsung said those benchmarks were wrong and that they asked GLBenchmarks to pull them, but I have no idea if that is true or not. Gotta wait for a device to actually be released with the SoC to know for sure.
[Xoom General] yassarian:
I'm keeping a close watch on this as I'm truly hoping there will be a good Android tablet on the market. I've recently played with Xoom for several days and in the end decided to return it. I really liked the OS in general, but the fact of the matter remained that at Xoom's current price point, they are outmatched by the guerrilla in the room, and I want the best device I can get for my hard earned money.

I find it strange that many people comment that they would 'never touch an ipad' - WHY? How can one be objective when one does not at least try the competition - and maybe learn from it? There are a few things Honeycomb does better(quite a few actually), but the overall user experience is simply not there yet. Blanket statements like that just shows a level of ignorance that I thought only die-hard Apple users exhibit toward their magical devices.

The Xoom still has potential and I would like to see it mature further and priced better, but it is a hard sell for an end-user would want to drop 800 bucks on it right now (in its beta state) - especially after a trip to that other magical store to test their magical device...

For me at least, the best solution right now is wifi tether my ipad2 using my EVO. This way, I get the best of both worlds...
[Xoom General] tjleeland:
There are faster desktop computers than mine (i7 920, 6GB of RAM, and an EVGA nVidia GTX 260), but it runs the games I want to play and I don't see needing to upgrade it any time soon.

My laptop (13" Macbook Pro) isn't the fastest one on the market, but it works fine and does what I need it to do. It's almost two years old and I don't have any plans to replace it yet.

My phone probably isn't the fastest available (HTC EVO) but I love it and it does what I want it to, when I want it to.

I love my rooted B&N Color Nook, and it most definitely isn't the fastest tablet I could own.

Then there's my Xoom. I didn't read the benchmarks before buying it (the only one I benchmarked was the desktop). Again, it does what I need it to do. I have yet to load a game that didn't run well.

My point is, I rarely buy something because it's the fastest. Hell, I can't even afford to do that most of the time. I'm not spending $10,000 on my desktop. The question is, does it run what you want it to run? Yes? Great! Buy it. No? Then don't get it. Period.

In this case, I wanted honeycomb. I hate the iOS model for multi-tasking. So I bought the Xoom hoping it would suit my needs as an Android user. It does. I'm happy.
[Xoom General] tjleeland:
I do own an iPad, but I didn't need to buy one to know I would prefer an Android. Owning the iPhone told me everything I needed to know. I bought the iPad just to do what you said, try the competition -- but not everyone can afford to do that, and previous experience with Apple mobile devices are a good indicator of what you can expect from a new one.

Apple has a way of doing things on their mobile devices that some people just don't like. I'm one of those people. I have no problem with OS X, but iOS doesn't suit me. I don't need to buy every iDevice to know that's going to be the case.

Sometimes you just know that a company does things in a way you don't like. It's why some people hate Gateway, HP, Dell, etc.
[Xoom General] modru2004:
well id like to point out that the notion ink adam has identical hardware and the base model wifi + lcd screen is only $375. thats far more reasonable then teh xoom. its currently running a modified 2.2 froyo (it has working flash) and honeycomb is in its near future.

much cheaper alternative tot eh xoom for someone thats wants an android tablet with decent specs.

of course this is dependent on them opening up ordering again. the last batch just ended a week or 2 ago.

html5 flash games you say... how about a car bike drive?

do not post, if you have no ****ing idea what you're talking about. this site contains ordinary html5 games, that have been there for a long time. if your mobile browser supports html5 then you can launch them, that has nothing to do with flash or adobe.

adobe released a tool that was supposed to convert flash content to html5, but only flash animations. your post is 100% bull****.

sorry for overreacting, but that kind of posts just makes me sick. don't post when you have no knowledge about the thing you're posting about.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hica:
Hi installed wp7+Android using dual boot with magldr1.3

now i'm very satisfied with Android, and want to install a new build of wp7 without toutching Android ! how to do? if i install wp i think i will damage android partition in my SD card plz help

regards
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dagreg:
+1

That is correct, if you reinstall WPH it will (re)format your SD card and so erase the Android partition.

But some guys here will surely provide the anwser to that problem.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] HQRaja:
Should be easy, in theory at least.

1. Use a disk imaging software to make an image of the entire partition you use for Android and save that image on your computer.

2. It'll perhaps be a good idea now to delete the Android partition or better yet, delete both WP7 and Android partitions altogether and make just one FAT32 partition spanning the entire card. This might not be necessary but it'll give the next step a stock, empty, Fat32 formatted SD card to begin with.

3. Install the new WP7 build.

4. Go through the entire process of setting up the partitioning for dual-booting the way you did it in the first place with your previous setup.

5. Once you have the Android partition resized and formatted...simply write the disk image saved from step 1 to it using your favorite disk imaging software.

Please note that I have NOT tried this out and can't confirm if it'll work but in theory, it should. Also, if you keep the partitions exactly of the same size that you had in the first place with your original dual-boot setup, it'll *probably* increase the chances of it working in the end.

Hope it helps. =)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AndHD2:
I agree with HQRaja.

I would simply create a folder on your Desktop and call it Android Partition Backup, or something simular. Insert the memory card and only the Fat32 partition will be visable in Windows so select everything and move it to the newly created folder on your Desktop. Install Sd Formatter from here. Once launched click on options, Format Type as Full Erase, Format Size Adjustment as On then OK. This will format not only your fat32 partition but remove all partitions as well. Then install the new WP7 Rom, Dual Boot as before and then copy everything from your backup folder back onto your card.

If you feel you dont have enough room for music, apk's or want to try mulitple Android Roms while still using WP7, the keep an eye out for my new tutorial where you can have say over 11gb for Adroid and over 3gb for WP7. It is written out but will read it through more tomorrow to make sure it is ok before uploading. I would do it tonight except my Mrs is nagging and I have been summond ;).

Hope this helps.

[Nook Color General] phoneixx:
Been dealing with this for awhile now, and haven't been able to find anything online, so here's the issue:

A few weeks ago I flashed Deeper Blue's HC preview to my dad's Nook Color. This was version 01. For a few weeks now, I have been trying to upgrade to version 04, but am unable to for several reasons.

First of all from what I understand, SU is not working correctly with HC, and needs a fix, however the nook isn't being detected by the adb, and haven't been able to fix it. Because of SU not working I haven't been able to update clockwork recovery through ROM Manager or reboot into recovery, which is my main issue. Attempting to boot into recovery manually is failing, ignoring it and booting as normal.

So I'm really in a pickle. Without recovery or adb I don't have a way to try and restore anything. Is there anyway to regain access to recovery with my current limitations?

Thanks for any help in advance!

[Nook Color General] MNMichael:
Reboot to recovery

I CAN reboot to recovery, but I haven't figured out how or why I can. The RecoveryBootUtility in HC v4-2 doesn't consistently get me there, nor does using Recovery from QuickBoot. Every once in a while when booting up, I end up in CWR. I wish I could figure out how to make it happen when I wanted it to.

it will turn on BUT it will not go past logo screen (stays as the HTC MAGIC screen)

i can enter blue light mode.

can not enter recovery mode
