Forgot what article I was reading but it said the Adreno 205 gpu found in the new htc phones was slightly more powerful than the 540 in the galaxy phones. Anyone see this?
Inconclusive. About 150320912309123 articles on google using 3dmark mobile only, just copying the same article as their own.
Nothing shown in real world performance, or other benchmarks (not that benches matter).
Actually benches do matter in my eyes..... just not benchmarks using lag fixes etc.
Either way. I guess well see soon enough.
Well, everyone has an opinion and you are entitled to yours...I'll take real world performance over benchmarks any day. Benchmarks imo are only useful for judging whether changes you have made to the system may have an impact on performance.
Good point in case is the latest overclock debacle. Benchmarks are off the hook. Real world performance...yeah, not so much. Worse, in fact.
sherwood, i am sick of you hating on the fascinate, anytime you think you find or hear something is better you show up and make sure everyone knows, i bet if you watch the FPS on quadrant or do a neocore benchmark that the galaxy phones as always demolish the others, with that said here comes my first flame, you said you have already sold you facsinate on cragislist, get outta here and quit bringing down the mood. im sick of hering your complaints,
But ksizzle9 have you tried the new sense it is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding. But sherwood get an htc device already.
good day.
Also Sherwood. If benchmarks matter n your eyes u should have kept the galaxy. It can post the highest quadrants u can get without editing build prop

Thanks for saying it.
Yes I did put it for sale. But I always said the processor and cpu were great. Can I not talk about the gpu?
Every post I've read here states the Gpu is the best but now I read a real article stating the adrena is as good if not better.
And no you didn't flame, your just a flamer!
I'm only in this forum still cause a bunch of dev got together to make the fascinate better.... there porting sense to it.... I'm sure when its released you won't use that port. Haha

whats wrong with you people??? All i said was I read that the Adreno GPU matches or outdoes the 540 in the samsung fascinate.
Wheres the trolling? Dont get mad because i state what i read. Atleast I back up my thoughts with facts....
Show me ONE ARTICLE that states the 540 in the fascinate is better than the ADRENO 205 and then i will shut up.........JUST ONE!!!!!!!

I don't have a side in this debate, however who is crowned king will usually be the victor across the board and with more than a lone test. It's good to see that one benchmark. If and when we get five or six more we could maybe draw some informed conclusions

Guys, I am sure if we pool our money, at lets say $20 bucks each we can put this to rest really quick. Then donate said phone to a deserving developer and everyone is happy. : )

I have read the article. But I've also tested the phones with multiple benchmarks and games-the Galaxy S GPU is far better. The Adreno 205 performs more like the 530 in the DX and D2.
This article does not say that it "outdoes the 540 by a bit". The author admits that the results were probably an invalid test of the hardware due to the fact that the faster machine had a FroYo JIT compiler, and the Galaxy S did not. They should waited until the Galaxy S on-hand was upgraded.

While for many, this update won't mean much, for others is actually a very important update. Our current gmail app is seriously crippled for some email users, no android management tools, no push notifications plus a more restricted market. I briefly switched and was stunned at the improvements made to the gmail app...eventually had to switch back though because my Battery life took a *HUGE* hit. Samsung/Sprint is really starting to drop the ball IMO.

Who cares, use DK28. It works great and has the best battery life I have ever seen on a smart phone. Most recently, from a full charge with calls, texts, internet browsing, emailing, facebook, and over an hour of angry birds I got 31 hours of use before I put it on the charger at 6%. I used it the whole day, left it off the charger for the night and used it the next day just to see how long it would last. If they are making these kind of improvements I an very happy with the progress and they can have as much time as needed.

You are doing something seriously wrong if you think DK28 caused bad battery life. I suggest you try again and calibrate your battery. See my previous post, this thing lasts FOREVER.

Are you trying to say that is the release date? If so, you just destroyed your own credibility because they would never release a huge update on a holiday. No one wants to be stuck with a broken phone on Christmas sitting on hold for tech support. They most likely have less staff working too, which would just compound the problems.
funy thing is I dont care if you think its credible,Im putting it out there,if Im flammed Im flammed...And to clarify what my info is,12/20 is when they want to have RC2 ready for .4 version test phones,the window is mostly 5 days for bugs to be reported,now we are looking at 12/25-26,then if it is given the ok,it will roll out before the end of the year as expected,not everyone will get the OTA the first day.So I cant say when you will get it,only when they expect it to be done....And if you follow my trail, posted exactly when DK28 would hit 3 weeks before,I said 26-29. And Ive said this before,DK28 was supposed to be final with an update 2 weeks after the roll out to fix any unseen bugs.I mentioned this here and on SDX,does that seem credible enough for you?

Running Epic Experience DK28 at the moment. I've been getting GREAT battery life and very few issues.
A little laggy at times, but nothing serious.
I just looked at the captivate forum here on XDA and it saddens me. It saddens me because on page one of the android development forum there are 8 custom roms, 4 kernels, and 1 mod.
On the Streak android development front page, there is one custom rom.
Why?
Does no one else have the chops to cook up a rom?
I love Steve's work...I just wish there was a little more variety.
And to make matters worse...I gave me captivate to my wife and she won't let me touch it anymore.

True true. But it just blows my mind that such a great device like the streak isn't getting the development that it deserves.
I had a samsung vibrant (same phone as the captivate but on t-mobile) which i had flashed tons of roms on. however, i found many of the roms to be unreliable and terrible on battery life. we are lucky to have a great Dev in steve. Also I would say that the samsung galaxy s phones are very very easy to root and flash roms which makes it very appealing to developers. You don't need fastboot or adb to root and flash roms on it and they are nearly impossible to brick.

Because Samsung fuc*ing sucks. Stock roms suck in so many ways. I came from the captivate!
Even if you load the best custom rom like Phoenix and perception... they don't compare to speed and stability of streak stock froyo.
What I would like to do is take my captivate in my hand and punch the president of Samsung USA in the face as hard as I can.
That would probably be more useful then trying to use it.

I was at the mall and walked into the at&t store and I started.playing with the atrix. Not impressed at all. Of course it being at&t The download speeds on speedtest.net were awful. I got like 150kbs down. My smartbench 2010 score was 1256. I can't remember what the games Index was. My epic honestly felt just as fast and smooth as that dual core. I know android isn't really able to take advantage of dual cores yet but it just made me appreciate my epic a little more. I also definitely wouldn't get it cause its locked down way to much with the bootloader so very small chance of custom kernels. Any one else been able to okay with it? Thanks for reading my post.

Atrix 4G Speeds Reported Slower Than 3G
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/222046/atrix_4g_speeds_reported_slower_than_3g.html
With the dock its a nice phone, but I would have never invested so much in a locked boot loader and encryption to boot! Many developers aren't going to invest much if any time in the phone due to the amount of work it will take to get CM7/ etc working for it. My good friend has it, and though it runs rather nicely and the dock is pretty cool, I think they really crippled it with the lock out abilities.
Yes you are right. The.****.is very nice. I would jump on the phone if the bootloader wasn't locked. I honestly just thought it was going to be better than what it was. The damn salesperson kept.bothering me when.I was playing with.it. he kept saying isn't that such a nice phone. Finally I said no its not mine is better and I'm just bored. He finally let me alone.

Once I saw this phone, I was thinking THAT was how M$ could get back in the game.
If they could put out a Windows phone that ran something like Windows 7, and connected like the Atrix does making it a laptop, that would be a big deal, and provide a really great platform, almost to the point of replacing laptops and desktops for home use.
Sadly, I doubt M$ could get it done.
As nice as the concept is, having a laptop setup does little good, if you cant run your desktop apps.
While I use my phone for most stuff now, I still am tied to my laptop for things like advanced picture and video editing.
It would be nice if it didn't dangle off the back either... If the phone slid into place where the touch pad should be that would be a nice and clean solution

I figured anyone with even the least bit of mental development would've had their skeptic alarm go off at the sight of all the Atrix hype. The more people talk about a gadget, the less the gadget speaks for itself. At least, that sure has been history's lesson.
In fact, the surface is never the reality anymore. Dual core has never meant double performance, free services doesn't change the fact that we're Google's product and retailers buying ads are Google's customers, revolutionary doesn't mean Apple actually built their own hardware, and saying M$ has never made anybody cool. ;p

Set From My 3.0.1 Bonsai Epic 4g
Mildly related: I walked into Costco and the carnival guys working the Verizon kiosk called me over to look at the new Moto Xoom. He went into his spiel about how great Honeycomb is and everything. I asked him if it was rooted and he said, "What's that?" "Newbie," I thought to myself. He let me play with it and I decided to download Quadrant to see what it would pull. He asked me what Quadrant was. I told him it was a benchmarking tool (but secretly I'm thinking, "You're a tool!"). So I run Quadrant and the Xoom with its Tegra2 gets 1800. I'm like WTF? So I pulled out my Epic Bonsai monster and cranked SetCPU to 1200/1200 and ran Quadrant. He looked at my Epic wide-eyed as I showed him the 2450 on my screen. I walked away feeling a little smug.

Ok, I looked at the website, and the three I mentioned above, are the only phnes that: do not have the 10 dollar charge, are touchsceen. The replenish says it "saves you 10 dollars a month" which I think implies they aren't charging for premium data on it.

i really liked the evo shift
the screen is a little smaller...but has the same resolution
in some aspects it does outshine the epic & evo screen for crispness due to this
also the development came along really fast for the shift
it overclocks to 1.5ghz reliably (i would never overclock the epic) and battery life is upwards of double that of the epic...despite the so named power saving samoled.
sorry just saw comments thwarting the $10 charge (or in sero users case $20)

You are wrong in every comparison you just provided as I own and regularly use both the Epic and the EVO Shift. Battery life on both is about equal. The Epic has a much better screen and the speed on both phones is comparable with the Epic being slightly quicker out the box. If its for his dad I doubt he will be rooting and overclocking.

So I just said your gonna need to root to take all that bloatware off, the look I got was priceless... I almost wish he got the Replenish, but since the 10$ fee was waved,he got the best deal... Thanks to everyone, Im gonna use all 5.
I'm surprised his instinct lasted this long. Hands down, the worst phone I have ever owned.
Glad he decided on an epic though, great choice!
