[QUOTE=garychencool;38317443]I mean the device that does get released may be completely different than what we have seen so far, that could be possible.[/QUOTE] Yeah, and all the major websites just wasted their time reviewing redundant devices.
[QUOTE=Hunt3r.j2;38317155]If you can go to hboot and it shows something like ENG S-OFF or SHIP PVT S-OFF then you're done.[/QUOTE] Once I get to the bootloader, I can't navigate in there and then it starts an update (firmware downgrade prorably) I already did earlier.
What? Last time I checked, The Verge was smooth on Chrome for Android, on my phone at least. It still lags like shit elsewhere though.

On Nov 1st Google released an update that boosted the performance noticably, so the results now [I]may[/I] differ.

It's not even as fast as the SGX543MP4 from the third gen iPad that struggles to keep iOS at 60fps sometimes. We won't know how much the overall impact is though until the device goes on sale.
Either way, stock is still a lot faster, still faster than Dolphin Browser IMO
android can't do browsers end of story
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38317471]dolphin browser best browser 2013[/QUOTE] hah good one
Had some minor issues with network connectivity... easily fixed them by a restart and *228
I think the issue with these increasing resolutions is that Android OEMs either don't design their own SoCs, or when they do the chips are a one chip for all design. You don't have a CPU specifically made to drive a high res display like Apple does, and it becomes even more of an issue with nobody using GPUs from Imagination Technologies which are by far the fastest out there. Intel and Apple use them since they have stakes in the company, but Texus Instruments was the only other company and they're getting out of the market. I think Samsung made a colossal mistake moving to ARM's Mali GPUs.
Alright so I downgraded and rooted the device again. Now it went as the guide says. Weird stuff.
Oh, I started to play Arcane Legends, a new MMORPG by SpaceTime Studios, the same guys who make Pocket/Star/Dark Legends, the game's graphics are amazingly good and it runs relatively smooth on my phone. As in it lags like shit when there's a bunch of stuff going on and yeah. Oh I tried using that FPS Meter app and it clocked that game at 40 fps when nothing was going on and 25 fps when I was attacking something at 5 when everyone was attacking stuff. Amazing stuff right here. It's in beta and it's only available for gamers in Canada and Australia for now.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sefNm.jpg[/IMG] Having an always-on Windows XP VM on my server with Splashtop Streamer installed was a really good idea. What other PC games would work well with a touchscreen and will run on 1 core of a 2.6 GHz Core 2 Quad? Nothing too 3D heavy, I don't think Hyper-V has 3D accelleration.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38317667]android can't do browsers end of story[/QUOTE] You can't Android. I've gotten a Desire-Z and I'm a maniac when it comes to handling tabs. Even now I currently have 75 open on my shitty laptop. [QUOTE=lavacano;38317903]I think Starcraft BW might maybe[/QUOTE] A ancient PC with only a 133MHz processor can run that. I could probably run it on my phone with QEMU and WIN98 with only minor problems.
The Verge website is so bad on Android. I've not had a site become that unresponsive on my Nexus 7 before. The only time sites are sluggish is when I try navigating the page while it's still loading it.
[B]OH GOD JELLYBEAN IS SMOOTH EVEN ON MY SHITTY PHONE!![/B] I can live with it force closing a few app's I don't give a fuck about with [B]THAT[/B] kind of sexy interface.

In other news, just flashed the latest CM10 onto my i777. I love it already. Kinda freaked out a bit when I hit the WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET button and then halfway through realized I never did a Nandroid, but luckily things went by without a hitch.
all websites are fine under IE10 on WinRT :p

I can confirm that PyroCF doesn't like white phones, in PM's to him he responded to me wanting a white S3 with "Why the hell you want an ugly as sin white glossy horrible tacky white thing which causes eye diseases." :v:
