Are you using lossless encoding or are you storing all the music in Vorbis/MP3/etc?



I think the OMAP CPUs are actually the fastest, clock for clock, vs Exynos and Snapdragons. Samsung and Qualcomm seem to actually design and implement better CPUs though, whereas TI just rehashes the older PowerVR GPUs. A year ago, the SGX540 was still among the most powerful, but its now being asked to do a LOT more than it was then.



That's MotoBlur dragging down the Bionic, saw the same thing on a co-worker's Bionic, behavior the T-bolt/CM7/ADWEx doesn't display.

Edit - The SGS1's also were extremely laggy, with the 1Ghz Hummingbird/SGX540, mostly due to the the RFS file system. But also due to Samsung's TouchWiz implementation and issues between it and 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.2.2.

ok thats good to know. I've clocked my OG Droid to 1Ghz and launchers like ADW Launcher still lag. Launcher Pro is the only one that's actually smooth.

SGS1 seemed very snappy to me on 2.2+, is what made me hate the OMAP.

Yes. Pretty much all of them, definitely all the currently shipping ones.

My T-bolt just did it perfectly smooth, once the page loaded all the way. Only 1 bar of 3G here.

Well, it'll do it at about 45fps actually.

But if you use Opera it'll be at 60FPS.

Been using Opera Mobile since I bought the T-bolt, but the stock browser seemed equally smooth to me, once the page loaded fully. Opera loaded it faster though.

Since the human eye can't distinguish 24 to 60 though, does it matter?

The limiting factor with web browsing on a modern smartphone, of any OS, is data throughput.

ok I guess something about the OG Droid just really sucks then and I thought it was all android hardwares or something

.

Blur is quite horrid, i actually didn't think it was going to be was bad as it is before i started using a phone with it on it. even with as much of it removed on my DX as i can without roming it still crap

i have 2 friends with the bionic and it basically cripples their phones, im also pretty sure its the caue of 100% of the issues we have with slacker

its not that it sucks it that its 2 years old and needed more ram


This, I've really had to cut down on what I do because I've effectively run out. I hate closing out a program and waiting on the launcher to repopulate because it was forced out of memory. Sigh...come on Galaxy Nexus, I want to love my phone again!

yea IDK why they went with so little on it, hell the DX is basically the same phone running at 1ghz with dbl the ram & a bigger screen and it runs fine

256 was standard at the time.

But yes, I'm still looking forward to the ICS Nexus. Don't much care whether its called Galaxy Nexus or Nexus Prime, or whatever. And yes, I'm also taking all the spec leaks with a grain of salt. Most of them are just blogs drumming up hits.

check out script manager and v6 supercharger for android script.
If you keep things from running in the background you won't have this launcher issue. If I browse about 6 tabs at once in browser then I might but usually don't have that problem

While I agree that it stinks that there may be no SD slot, I'm still (always have been & will be) confused as to why people want so much storage on their phone.

I too wish I had about 100GB or more. Because my SGS2 can play mkv files, I would love to carry a few HD movies and TV shows everywhere I go. My average 1080p movie is 11GB in size. My solution will be many SD cards.

While I agree that it stinks that there may be no SD slot, I'm still (always have been & will be) confused as to why people want so much storage on their phone. 32GB built in won't be enough? I seriously use less than 5GB. If I were to add my entire music collection, I doubt I would even fill up a 16GB card. If I did that and actually used my camera a lot, maybe throw on 4 more gigs. Still would have plenty of room left on that 32GB storage.

its because i have nearly 200GB of music and i want it ALL on my device. I know some people find this strange but its how i like to do things

i want it all on there so I
1) don't have to change stuff in and out
2) don't have to stream it from something which kills the battery and is not available without a connection (airplane)
3) carry around a separate device

i would actually do #3 but no one makes a mp3 player with enough space

I thought I read somewhere that Google Music was going to allow for local caching for reasons you mentioned.

This isn't true. 24FPS, with motion blur (like in a movie) is the minimum to fool the eye into thinking there's motion instead of just still images in a sequence but it's not identical to 60FPS especially with non-blurred motion like scrolling a webpage.

Furthermore, it's been shown (on tests on fighter pilots IIRC) that the upper range of the human eye is more like 200FPS. Nonetheless, empirically, 60FPS is smooth for most people (although a steady FPS is more important).


In any case, perhaps the T-bolt's stock browser is accelerated as well. I've a modified stock browser that also runs at 60FPS for instance.

You should run the three "flinger" tests (Ocean, Text, Image) under Vellamo (free on the App Market) to see what your browser goes at for larger websites. I find that even pure stock runs fine for small mobile pages but if you try to load something like XDA Forums, it'll bog down amazingly.

Downloading the app now.

Yep, all of this and I'm only using MP3s, so if I wanted to go to a better format, like lossless, then it would explode to some ungodly size.

That's some seriously lofty requirements/dreams. Unless you accept some compromises I think you'll be waiting years before that's even close to a reality. Guess I can understand that you don't want to juggle music on and off the device, but almost think you'd be better off with a 160GB ipod for planerides etc.

Personally I think I can accept 32GB in the device and streaming/caching of all my music from Subsonic or Google music. It's not that much hassle so I can live with it, until we get 250GB flash storage on phones

edit: and if you're that serious about music it's my understanding that the DAC on most phones is not that great, and there are dedicated mp3 players that give better sound quality (which I would think would be important to you)

Not a world phone apparently, which is disappointing but not terribly breaking for me at least.

thats not the point
i want the option to listen to any song in my lib at any time i want,

Then buy a dedicated MP3 player? If music was that important to me, that's what I'd do...

I don't see the need for that much local storage on a phone. I understand wanting it, but I don't think the majority of smartphone users out there would take full advantage of it, so the handset builders must not think it's worth doing if it means all phones get bulkier and/or more expensive.

Push to Talk is a Sprint feature no? Maybe this is referring to the Sprint version? I did read somewhere that the Verizon one will be a world phone, while the Sprint will not.

I agree. Plus current tech only gets you to like 80gb -- 200 would require multiple microSD slots or something.
