what loss? ive still got my lil buddy the eris,and not having the bionic and its encrypted bootlooder is certainly not a loss! especially since the snapdragon is a lil faster,and the bionics dual cores IMO are more of a gimmic right now than anything... untill more phones have them and android becomes optimized to utilize them.

Its a blazing fast phone no doubt, I just think that its a bit silly to discount x2s just because they aren't out yet. I couldn't care less about 3k+ quadrant scores, its a battery life and longevity issue for me.

Anyone remember when core2duo's came out? "my pentium 4 is cheaper, faster, and no games use 2 cores yet!"

truth be told, I think both the tb AND the bionic are butt fugly. So ugly, in fact, that I'd even consider "upgrading" to a dinc just because everything else looks so awful. now the galaxy s2, however...

no one is discounting dual cores. just for me theyre not worth waiting for. the TB will be plenty fast enuff for me. i dont play games or multitask things on my phone near often enuff to come close to utilizing their potential benefits.

to each his own,i guess... i think the TB is a sexy phone. i like the way it looks,and i like HTC phones.ive been out of contract since july? or has it been longer? anyway, i cant wait forever... there is ALWAYS gonna be something bigger,better,faster and stronger right around the corner.

the only thing i dont like about it is HTC sense :eek: hopefully CM will start rolling out nightlys in a timely manner! :D
 
... and running :D

no,BC,not yet.TB is still stock :( and boring,lol. im still skeert of ADB. i think ima play with that with my lil buddy and try and get comfortable with it.

What's ADB?
Click to expand...

Android debug bridge (Android Debug Bridge | Android Developers).

The adb.exe client that you run from your PC will talk to the adb daemon/server running on your phone.

Lots of uses for it including:

1. Pushing / pulling files to / from your phone
2. Invoking a command shell (i.e., the Unix prompt)
3. Install apps from your PC to your phone
4. Retrieve the system log (debugging messages / logcat)

Plus more!

By the way, I've landed on an even better performance profile. Ironically, it's one many of us have used in the past but it's been working very smoothly in 2.1. :cool:

CPU min 245 MHz
CPU max 710 MHz
smartass
Compcache 18%
VM Heapsize 24 MB

The nice thing about it is that it runs big programs more smoothly than the other settings I shared earlier. The key seems to be setting compcache to 18%. I don't know why it is disabled now by default. Disabling it really seems to slow things down! :eek:

After testing this setup for a while, Ive gone back to

CPU min 245 MHz
CPU max 710 MHz
smartass
Compcache 18%
VM Heapsize 16 MB

and have to say that the one with 16 MB VM Heapsize actually runs better than the one with 24 MB on the very programs that I thought I needed the larger heapsize for. :o

So, now I'm back to 16 and loving it. It's a LOT quicker and actually runs better for everything I've tried so far. :eek: It even seems to keep the email app synced with Exchange better, which is important to me. :)

Sorry about the false lead there! :cool:
 
So.......my little buddy (as Scotty calls him) is about to go on a trip.................across the @###@$^%^^%$ field (that's plumber talk for not feeling warm & fuzzy). I'm tired of my @#^&%^$$$%^&&* (again plumber talk) buddy being so laggy. It FC's with my Phandroid app, the phone dialer is major laggy, it some times takes 2 or 3 clicks for the screens to change and seems to take forever to load. I rebooted it so I'll see if that helps.
 
is it like that on every rom you try BC? if so,why dont you turn him off and activcate the test phone for a couple days and see if hes any better. :(
 
I was getting spontaneous reboots trying to run the Kindle app - not every time it was run, but it was happening daily. I'm not sure if anybody else has seen that, but I've gone back to xtrROM one last time to see if I can live with it (it's not looking good so far - I had a calendar notification that never went off last night, so I was late). Otherwise, I may try a fresh install of GSB 2.2 (ugh!) and if I can keep that stable, just stay there and not install any updates for a month or so.

... and no notification of my 2:30 appointment. I restarted the phone, and then it fired off.

Back to GSB for good! (Don't tell all of the people I strongly suggest xtrSENSE or xtrROM to...)
 
Man, it really is a PITA to redo all of this stuff from scratch. I wish that the Google backup that you do did a true app and data restore, because all it really does is reinstall your apps without data, and reestablishes only some of the settings.

GSB 2.3 is going to have to slow time in order for me to go through this again...

Nope, didn't help.

I'm still stuck way back on GSB 1.6 - lazy, I guess. But I've had 4 spontaneous reboots in the last 2 (or 3?) days. I haven't done any diligent research, but I do know that it has been rare that anything unusual shows up in /proc/last_kmsg following the crash. Seems like that implicates some memory exhaustion problem, rather than a kernel panic, but I don't really know for sure - that's just speculation on my part. Generally, I am in the browser (although today I was using Ustream), and the phone freezes solid for maybe 20-40 seconds, and then reboots.

I'm starting to give serious thoughts to installing xtrSENSE 5.0.1, and maybe using zanfur's original OC kernel. Between the spontaneous reboots and butting up against web sites with Flash content... well, it would be nice to have a ROM that "just works".

As far as you know (afaYk), is the notification bug specific only to xtrROM (and not xtrSENSE)?
