Post #3761
Just got a Droid 4. In case you're wondering what the camera's like:
It's what you'd expect. The resolution is good, but there's no making up for how cheap the censor is.
-
-
Not bad I guess.
-
i hope Google focuses on fixing all the audio issues Android has soon. particularly latency issues and gapless playback(nobody should need to implement their own audio shit for gapless playback)
-
Pretty sure OGG on Android supports gapless. Not sure on that. MP3 doesn't for sure, but I don't think MP3 supports gapless properly anyhow.
-
Why is the ICS contact widget huge? It was 1x1 on gingerbread.
-
Either SGS3 or HTC One series.
Edited:
Free RAM is wasted RAM to a certain extent. The problem is that what's quoted as "Free RAM" often contains filesystem cache, and cutting into filesystem cache will cause lots of lag as it gets dumped and the phone has to rely on emmc and SD card instead of on-die RAM.
Edited:
There's Tegra 3s like the Asus MeMo or something, it was going to be 7" 250 USD Tegra 3, but rumors are that it was scrapped for the Nexus Tablet that Asus is supposedly working on.
Edited:
Install BetterBatteryStats, charge the phone fully and unplug before you go to bed, and then check the app in the morning and look for partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks. Those will be your primary problems.
Edited:
Look into V6 Supercharger, there are tools in the script that will let you override Android OOM killers and keep things locked in memory like your browser.

Jesus christ, I found the fix to battery problems.
I carry around a 5000 mAh battery pack, 2 days of pretty intense usage is no longer hard to achieve (Think gaming a metric fuckton on the device, constant push IM/Email, 4 hour sync on many pull accounts, large amounts of forum/web browsing.
I think 4 days isn't a problem if I really wanted to.
-
just tested it and nope. MP3 doesn't inherently support but it's easy enough to work around that.
it's pretty pathetic that Android doesn't have gapless playback. that's like basic standards right there.
-
Oh balls,
I was playing around with the performance settings in Gummy and my phone bricked.
I've tried flashing a few different roms through safestrap and none of them are working.
-
Why is Chrome so.. Weird?
It makes every word a different size, even if they're meant to be the same size.
-
how would that even be possible?
-
I'm not sure. when I hit the power button the screen would flash for a millisecond and turn back off. I did a battery pull and the phone wouldn't get past the "M" on the screen. After about the 5th time flashing, it finally worked.
Almost had a heart attack.
Edited:
Oh man, Just my luck. They released an update just a few minutes ago.
Time to flash again
-
I don't have that problem
-
Should I save money for a Galaxy Nexus?
If I do, it's gonna be tough, and I don't want to bother with something that'll let me down.
I read about the PenTile display and it's making me think twice about the phone :/
-
It's not the PenTile but the SoC that is lagging.
-
I'll grab a screenie

Yeah, uhh.
How do I do that?
-
If I wanna exit an app, I wanna kill it.
No "run in the background" bullshit even if it doesn't hamper performance or battery life.
-
Buy an iPhone then
-
i'd love it if apps shut down if you held down the back button or something.

'Murricans rejoice, official Ice Cream Sandwich is ready for download!
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/a...now-available/
Only the global, non-carrier branded version
-
Custom ROMs (CyanogenMod for example) do this. There's a setting that you can enable, then hold the back button within an app and it will get killed.
-
Does anyone here actually use their phone cam for anything but taking pics of random shit you need to remember etc.? I've never used it as a camera for taking nice pictures.
-
You can enable this on ICS in developer options.
-
Since my digital cam died quite a few months ago, I'm using my Galaxy S2 camera as a primary. It's pretty great for a phone cam.
Edited:
PyroCF: Woah, it's a feature of ICS? I thought it was a custom setting in unofficial ROMs.

Rumors that this is the galaxy S 3. WTF is it doing in vietnam
Samsung's Galaxy SIII is due to launch officially on May 3rd. We've already seen some blurry images of what might be the phone—but now an even more convincing example has surfaced in Vietnam.
Engadget reports that the handset showed up on Vietnamese site Tinhte—though the original page is now down. No worries: we still have the pictures and specs that were leaked.
According to the leak, the phone—going by model number GT-I9300—packs: a 720 x 1184 4.6-inch display (that's 320 DPI), a quad-core 1.4 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a 2,050mAh battery, an 8-megapixel camera and 16GB of storage.
There also appears to be some kind of plastic rim around this leaked device, making it look slightly larger than it actually is and disguising the edge of the handset.
It's difficult to know for certain if this is the real deal, but the images certainly look more convincing than a lot of leaks we see. Also, Tinhte has in the past scooped both the current-gen iPad and the original Galaxy Tab prior to their official release—so it has strong past form.

Is the PenTile screen not an issue? I've read that it sucks, but everyone said the performance is great
-
Some apps also have this/
-
you might be a bit disappointed with the camera or maybe with the performance if you really stress the phone; the screen problem is just blown out of proportion, you aren't going to hold your phone at 3 inches from your face, and at normal distance, the high pixel density makes up for it I think
-
Well, I don't care much about the camera, since I only use it for the casual snap, but performance? I plan to play 3D games and shit, would it fail me?
And I also heard that it's underclocked at 80%, couldn't I put it to 100%?
-
Listening to a few radio stations with TuneIn whilst reading to focus (easily distracted through sound), but the music is just a bit too loud.
Is there a way to get to even lower volume levels with the phone?
Edited:
Even if it isn't the best phone in the market it is still a high end phone, which means that things like playing 3D games shouldn't be a problem at all.
-
Awww yeah, Slovenia finally got ICS!
I have a question though, regarding chrome - how do I open tabs from my PC?It says I should login on chrome on my PC - which I am.
-
I only really use mine for hipster instagram bullshit.
I also have a Pogo printer that I can bluetooth photos to, really handy for documenting my work in a dinky little sketchbook. Otherwise no.
My Atrix has a pentile display and it's fine most of the time, but it really shows if you ever have the phone closer than 30cm away. Since the Nexus has a higher res screen it might not be so bad. Perhaps go in to a phone shop and have a look, see what you think.
-
I'll try to find a shop with a Nexus. Thanks!
-
I can manage to get GTA III working pretty well nearly maxed out (720p, high settings, max also works but sometimes has framerate issues). Probably not the most demanding game out there for Android, but it works really well. I don't think 3D games are going to be an issue on the Galaxy Nexus for some time yet.
-
I wish mobile phone carriers didn't have anything to do with phones. They shouldn't have control of the OS in the first place. It would make life so much easier.
-
The amount of non-removable crapware is insane.
-
I think that's the main reason why Google added app disabling into ICS.
