[QUOTE=mankind_me;33819037] Um, you guys from the UK, what kind of speeds do you get on mobile data? (i.e. H, H+)[/QUOTE] I'm on O2 and get H in my town.

[QUOTE=Robber;33818338]My SGSII is so smooth on GB, I can't imagine ICS improving that somehow. [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] Samsung's Androids have excellent video support, but it's definitely not a feature of AOSP Android, so I'm not sure about other manufacturers.[/QUOTE] I'm using AOSP roms [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] Force all the UI to be rendered with GPU While that sounds tempting I'm not sure if I will turn this function on

[QUOTE=Wolfyhound;33819357]I'm on O2 and get H in my town.[/QUOTE] Yes, also how much speed do you get? [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=superstepa;33819371]I'm using AOSP roms [editline]20th December 2011[/editline] Force all the UI to be rendered with GPU While that sounds tempting I'm not sure if I will turn this function on[/QUOTE] debug.sf.hw=1 does the same thing in GB I think, if you really want to, add that line in /system/build.prop there's no real difference, even though I did say there was some way earlier

[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;33819590][img]http://www.imgur.com/x9Bzp.jpg[/img] Ninja edit[/QUOTE] Do want.

[QUOTE=TippZ;33816980]download doesnt necessarily means that its warez jeez guys[/QUOTE] I agree. Technically you are downloading them, even if it's legit. Everything you get off the Internet whether it's a webpage or whatever, you request it, the server uploads the data so you can download it.

you guys can't touch my 40mbps down and 20mbps up from verizon 4g lte!

[QUOTE=Neddy;33816466]does android support mkvs ? (Converting my movies over so that they are ready for my tablet) :3[/QUOTE] yup, but the stock player might not. You may need to 'download' yourself an app (or two) MoboPlayer MX Player I use all of these to watch my .mkv, .avi, .mp4 and so on

[QUOTE=garychencool;33821856]yup, but the stock player might not. You may need to 'download' yourself an app (or two) MoboPlayer MX Player I use all of these to watch my .mkv, .avi, .mp4 and so on[/QUOTE] Dice player master race

So apparently HTC's strategy has changed from "FUCK IT LET'S RELEASE A SHITLOAD OF PHONES" to quality over quantity. Rumor is that HTC is going to be releasing a flagship for the first half of the year around the first 2-3 months of 2012, it'll be headed to AT&T, and they'll also be releasing a WP7 LTE phone on AT&T.

While the iPhone would no longer exist on the face of the earth?

Bought a Kindle Fire. If you buy it, I recommend rooting it and getting an alternate launcher. It's great so far.

Looks like my phone's got Carrier IQ. I assume that I should get a custom rom now? Probably should've a while ago, but whatever. What's a great/the best custom rom out there? I've got an Evo 4g.

Flashing the "leaked" 4.0.3 radios to my GN. Apparently there's a big difference in signal. No word on battery life yet.

It looks like Sprint just didn't give a fuck about supporting the phone past around Sense 2.0, so I'd probably run a Sense 3.5 port.

The radios are already making a BIG difference. I would lose more battery than I should with just the screen off. I was at 56% about 2 hours ago, now I'm at 55%. And I also have better reception! Looking good from what I can tell.

It's some android OS bug that eats your battery

[QUOTE=Ezhik;33826042][img]http://www.imgur.com/XBhgG.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Had that too. For some reason GPS was causing partial wakelocks. BetterBatteryStats helps identify the problem.
