I wanted to report AMAZING results with switching to a jellybean based ROM, specifically JandyCane 1.7.1 It's hard to fathom how smooth and stable this build is considering how new it is. Chrome runs like a dream on it.
The only problem I've run into so far is the lack of Amazon video support...
I think I'm in a similar situation as you. I have a droid X which is of the same generation of phones. While it started out reasonably fast, it seemed as if each update brought more carrier bloat and less performance. The limited amount of ram on these devices means the carrier bloat can really...
I'm now on MIUI 4.04 ICS. Very different feel from GUMMY 1.3.
I've run into a peculiar problem trying to tether. No matter what ROM I've used when ever I try to enable tethering it locks up my wifi antenna and requires me to reboot to fix it.
*Edit I decided I didn't like the UI on MIUI. The...
Yes, that is what I'm currently flashing to! I understand the video camera is not working but I can live with that. It's the smaller little things that I notice here and there that I hope are stamped out. Part of the problem is me and how anal I am. Sadly that only gets worse as I get older. I...
I appreciate the insight and that might be where I end up but just to clarify, I don't need bugfree but I would like as few bugs as possible. As for HWA, I know ICS ROMS have it it using whitelists and the results using the ICS browser are stunning. I don't see why I have to be stuck with 2.3.7...
I just wanted to give a quick update. I successfully flashed to the latest nightly build of gummy 1.3. The experience overall was a little confusing but the results are overall positive. Unfortunately, it appears Gummy will no longer be supported and considering there are still kinks to work out...
Excelllent Info! I'm doing the flash back to .604 as I type and will be trying am ICS rom shortly. I want to thank NikolaeVarius for the detailed breakdown of the various roms.
As I understand, the HWA improves the speed noticeably on all the apps that support it. I remember reading about a...
Here are a couple important SSD reviews as they are two of the few drives to incorporate the SF-2282 controller and 24 flash chips.
Corsair Force Series 3 180GB 24 asynchronous 25nm Micron flash chips...
I installed my 5850 2 hours ago and just finished my first vantage run after a quick OC at stock voltage.
850 core 1200 mem with stock voltage. 74c under load
It's an ASUS 5850 Open Box from Newegg for $220 shipped. I unpacked it from near virgin looking packaging with every accessory and...
I received my refund yesterday. :) I mailed it back UPS the same day I received my RMA whatever day that was (I posted RMA info a few pages back so you can check timestamp if you need an exact day).
After talking with both XFX and TigerDirect, I have good news and bad news.
Bad news first. XFX does not have reference design 4890s on hand for RMA replacement. I asked about the XXX version as an alternative/upgrade and they said that the limited numbers they do have are for RMAs for...
Just successfully finished a vantage run after to 2 lockups mid run with massive artifacts throughout all runs. I even get occasional artifacts on my windows desktop. Shockingly the card scored just over 10k.
Considering the GPU clocks were set to factory defaults at 850/975 and I have such...
Thanks Kalrith.
I didn't want to bore people with all the troubleshooting i went through but I had tried everything you suggested last night (in some cases 3+ times) except the booting into VGA mode before giving up. I suppose I will give that a shot today.
*edit* Kalrith, your idea of booting...
So I decided to try out the card and it turned into a colossal waste of time. I can't get it to boot into windows. I uninstall my nvidia drivers, boot into safe-mode to run driver sweeper to clear out all remnants of the nvidia driver, then proceed to boot normally to finish installing the ATI...
It's not looking good. I see from updates to the overclock.net post that there are 2 others that just received their cards from TD and had the same version.
I am not happy.
I just received my package from Tigerdirect and it appears I was sent a non-reference design 4890 with the analog VRMs and the funky cooler.
In fact, it appears to be identical to the boards that many people have reportedly experienced performance and cooling problems...
As was I which led to about 2 hours of digging through posts regarding XFX 4890 and the models which used non-reference PCBs with inferior VRMs and cheaper/louder/less-effective coolers. Provided this is indeed what is pictured and has been tested to be functioning 100% and comes with a 12 month...
Hi everyone,
My first post despite being a reader of anandtech for over 10 years as well as an occasional lurker in the forums.
After reading the 5830 article I finally decided to upgrade my 8800gt. I had been holding out to see if prices of the new 58xx series cards were going to drop but...
