@AlienIsGOD: your post is a little confusing.

simple: the S4 mini hardware is better than the Nokia 520 even tho they are also under different OS

i just hope he didn't mean the S4 mini was the greatest hardware wise as opposed to the Note xD
what's confusing for me is : Note 8 ? you mean Tab Note 8" right? (should be, since the SM-N910U who is 1st rank above my Shield is the Note 4, not a tab but a phablet)

 

[AlienIsGOD]

got a score of 20779 on the s4 mini in an tu tu

also the tablet is galaxy note 8 http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile/tablets/galaxy-note-series/GT-N5110ZWAXAC

and yes i meant hardware wise, the nokia was slow as heck compared to the s4 mini. 512mb memory vs 1.5gb makes a big difference lol.

@GreiverBlade its GT - N5100

 

[GreiverBlade]

also forgot to mention: my Shield is pure stock no root no optimization and tested under "optimize" preset instead of "full power"

@GreiverBlade its GT - N5100

so yep indeed, it's the tab

i didn't thought about taking a nV Shield tab ... but HELL i love my FP7 but yet ... it's kinda useless versus the Shield ... tho for reading manga or news (including browsing TPU Android APP) when im not home... it's still good as hell ... maybe i should just get a cheap 5.5" MTK Phablet (Wiko or Xiaomi)

I discovered yesterday that kitkat has moved the developer controls. Now you have to go to "about device" and press on build number not once or twice, but seven times. It will alert you when you are now a developer, go back to settings and developer options will be available! Running an overclocked HTC one now with GPU acceleration enabled and 4 x msaa

it has been so since a while now (4.0.0 iirc)

My sister's 7" Android tablet has an Allwinner A13 SoC, featuring a single core ARM Cortex-A8 (at 1GHz) and a Mali-400MP. It also has 352MB of RAM, so I presume it's 11 chips of 32MB memory. LOL

Internal storage is 8GB, at least it has a microSD slot. Screen resolution is 432x800.

It scored 4425 in Antutu 5.1 (Antutu actually "stopped responding" LOL), and in Geekbench has scores of 207 in single-core and 188 in multi-core. It is still in ICS (4.0.4), quite difficult to try update it anyway,.

i dont trust benchmark too much since today many phones have more power but i feel like it couldnt fully utilized by apps

 

[GreiverBlade]

well that's a point, i feel it with my Shield, the Tegra K1 is kinda overpowered, specially the GPU part, quad A15 is common but the Kepler 192 core GPU is a little overboard (except for PPSSPP tho)

it max out 3Dmark, except for the "unlimited" setting and even in unlimited it's above a Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro 700T (i3 ivy, win 8) and less than 3k away from a Surface Pro 3 (i3 Haswell, win 8.1), well for the reference score, my Shield tab score 2k above a reference Shield tab

Antutu got a X edition (grey icone, not the one i used above) which use a different app name once installed, to prevent frauds since some devices enable a "special" OC mode for benchmark like Antutu or 3Dmark (since 3Dmark ban any device with that kind of behavior) http://www.futuremark.com/support/benchmark-rules

example :
Antutu 5 std: above 52k
Antutu 5 X : above 32k
Antutu 4 X : near 42k

even if the shield doesn't have a "illegal" behavior, funnier if i load "full power" CPU settings Antutu crash unless i use "optimized" setting.

The tablet is just awful in gaming. No point in playing Subway Surfers and Temple Run 2 there. LOL

single core 1ghz and limited ram for gaming?
you cant ask for that much

 

[zsolt_93]

that is like my phone. Galaxy Ace Plus. 1ghz A5 and 512 ram, 300 and something available for the OS. Temple run 2 lags if not on the lowest setting. And that is on HVGA resolution, the tablet should be at least 2x that. Oh... and friggin Gingerbread. Upgrade is iminent , really like the Sony M2/M2 Aqua or even the E3, but lollipop being released soon makes me sceptical as Sony only mentioned the Z series for getting updates. Not into market for the high end devices as i need this as a phone+camera. I have a laptop for portability and a Surface Pro in the drawer sitting there since i bought it due to the lack of availability of the covers around here, making it partially unusable for what i want it for.

Anyone here have a oneplus One? If so, any problems with it?

I just got one off eBay, and it's fantastic so far.

Yesterday, I did notice a little faint yellowing on the bottom of the lcd (apparently this is fairly common, some sort of issue with the glue curing), but uv light is supposed to fix this. I'll be confirming this tomorrow with my phone and will report back.

 

[remixedcat]

any 'blacked out' theme recommendations??

 

[twilyth]

Anyone have any thoughts on the LG Volt. Gets good reviews but interested in opinions. I need to upgrade my phone - too slow.

looks good but front design reminds me of samsung design with button

 

[entropy13]

What's your exact budget twil? There are better phones out there...

What's your exact budget twil? There are better phones out there...

I don't have a huge need for mobile phone and I want something that's not so big it's a phablet, so I don't really want to spend more than around $200. Even at that price I probably won't get that much use out of it. I picked that one because I want something that's faster than my Samsung Reverb. I hate waiting for the screen to change when I'm going from one app to another but it's not so important to me that I want to spend a lot of money.

I figured since this has a quad processor and good reviews it might be a good choice but I'm open to suggestions. I just don't have a need for high end phone is all.

 

[entropy13]

You can maybe get a Huawei or something from the other Chinese brands. lol

yeah or local brands, but in here i dont trust local brands too much. yes they are nice but if you wanna replace like screen or battery is kinda hard to find. its like if its broken trash it and buy new phone

cm launcher?
i stay with apex, i tried smart launcher, solo launcher, dodol, lightning, atom, nova
they are nice but i prefer launcher that offers just a launcher, today launcher is getting complicated and like kinda losing its points as launcher

 

[entropy13]

Nova Launcher is just a launcher too, so I find it weird you consider it complicated. It even has to use a third-party plugin for the Unread count. lol
