Hi i have the chance to get rid of the tbolt and switch to the Droid charge while making $150 also, would you do it or stick with the Thunderbolt
Sent from my Infected HTC Thunderbolt using XDA App
Id say it depends if you're a ROM/Tweaking junkie or not. The Charge doesnt have near the Dev support that the Tbolt has. Its a fine phone though.
I'm on the same boat, mainly for the hdmi and battery life.. I'm not sure to make the swap or not

512 RAM....512 ROM....The Droid Charge will be a nice piece of machinery. I was initially going to get the "Charge" but stuck with my gut instinct. It pretty much is a personal preference. I find that a lot of Dev's are out there for the Thunderbolt (which finalized my decision). Go with your gut, it's going to be a solid phone either way.
For some reason the Dev's for Verizon carried phones never really flocked to the Samsung phones, its just the way it is.

If you don't care about custom roms, the Charge might be better for you. Better battery, better screen (imo). But don't hold your breath waiting for updates from Samsung.
But remember SGS2 is coming soon. If it does LTE, I'll proly sell my TB and get one. You can bet SGS2 dev'ing won't languish like the Charge

The Thunderbolt has 768MB of RAM as opposed to the Charge with 384MB. According to several reviews the Charge has problems with flash heavy sites while the Thunderbolt handles them just fine due to the extra RAM.
I've owned a bunch of HTC phones but have been having issues with my new HTC Rezound. Whenever I exit certain applications the stock launcher reloads and displays the HTC Splash Screen. Seems to happen most often with Draw Something (but does happen with other apps as well). Anyone else have a similar issue or know of a fix?

I am actually surprised to say this but I am going to say it (knocks on wood) anyway. I know exactly the issue you are speaking of with sense phones in general. have had it happen tons of times on phones from the Droid Eris, to Incredible 1 & 2, TBolt, and they have all done this. I am into week 2 of my rezound and haven't seen it once. {walks away and launcher redraws}.
Are you running any tweaks or mods like the leedroid tweaks?

On my Incredible, I used V6 Supercharger to prevent this (and it worked amazingly well!).
I have V6 on my Rezound, and in the 30+ days I've had it, I've had exactly one re-draw of the launcher, and I really think that was my fault. Check it out!
V6 Supercharger
Thanks for the input. Mine is totally bone stock...I just received it yesterday. On my Incredible it would happen once in a great while. On the Rezound it happens almost consistently. And I wouldn't mind if it didn't take the launcher so long to recover.

When sense does that it either has run out of Memory or forced closed
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
I figured as much. But that means I'm constantly out of memory which is odd for a bone stock phone. I even turned off back ground processes that might have been sucking up memory. It's bad enough that it makes me want to return the phone.

It could be a memory leak in an app. If you notice it happening with a particular app try uninstalling it and see how it runs.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I've turned off fast boot and cpu timelines which has seemed to help thus far. Worse case I guess I could just restore the phone and reinstall one app at a time. Main culprit definitely seems to be Draw Something though.

Have you checked to see how much memory draw something uses? I know that words with friends is a memory hog.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
Good call. Draw Something uses 72MB which is nearly twice as much as other average apps. In fact I would argue that it's almost unacceptable. I still can't believe the launcher wouldn't have a higher memory priority over other user apps though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I noticed this happens when I use Scramble With Friends. It used about 130 MB of memory. Sometimes more so I uninstalled it. Sense uses about the same amount of memory. I think because the phone gets low on memory it shuts down Sense because it is using lots of memory. Seems ridiculous that this happens, but it does.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Sense 3.5 takes up a ton of memory so when its not used and other programs require more ram sense is unloaded. Once you go back to the home screen it has to be reloaded.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Draw Something, Facebook, Any of those games and whatnot constantly streaming data, seem to decide to use all your ram for no reason. I like ICS for the reason that now you can close stuff when your done with it
So when ICS rolls out with Sense 3.6 they'll hopefully have this fixed. I bought this phone for Sense and I'm just amazed how fickle it seems this far.

That's half the answer the problem is the ram is supposed to dump the apps from the ram in order of least important but for some reason the sense launcher drops to a less important level when not in use (to give back more ram I guess). Like many people have said V6 will fix this problem and is super easy to use so I would give that a try is a great script.

Ya I'm definitely thinking about trying that out. But it requires root doesn't it? Not sure I'm ready to sacrifice my warranty just yet. I wish I could just reprioritize Sense in system settings.

I saw this in Reddit today and thought I'd post it to the EVO forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
Yes i saw this on reddit too, have you tried it out yet?
I tried it out, there is actually a speed boost. Although I think my battery suffered a bit.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
nice find! i need to start checking out other threads/sections on xda.. i always just stay in what ever phone i have at the time thread.. there's alot of other cool issh goin on else where :good:
I too saw that on Reddit. I tried it out on my Evo running Stock w/ Goodies, and on my Nexus 7. Installed, rebooted, and played a bit to let things "settle in", and there is definitely a noticeable improvement in speed and responsiveness, on what were already pretty swift and smooth devices.
I haven't tried it yet, but will soon. If this works out in the long run, hopefully the devs can put this in their roms. I wonder if Google knows about this...
Anyone do a quadrant on this yet? I'm curious if it really works or its just a placebo. Also, how is battery life?

Haven't looked much into this but improvements of this nature usually have a decent drawback.... Ie battery life...

Directions seem to be hard to come by in that thread... I installed the apk in it, and also flashed a zip file that was referenced in one of the last pages. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference... As a reference, though, I benchmarked a 6700 on basically stock JellyBean a few weeks back. Still have the screen shot from it saved.

From what little I know about entropy pools, the larger this pool (a pool of random actions right?) is & the faster your programs/inputs are able to access it. The more responsive they'll be.
I could be very wrong but this is what I assume is happening here.
This pool that continusly dumps & fills for however many seconds is about 300-400 nomally on our device. With the tweak the pool is 3000+, I think the tweak also increases the speed of the refresh to access the pool by 1 second.
So 1 second (every second this -> 4 digit figure randomly fills & dumps) + 3000+ accessable random numbers (actions) vs. undetermined number of seconds & a pool avg or 300-400.
Again I'm guessing. I haven't spoke of this since my Eee PC & that might've been for a kernal.
I imagine it as a hand/s repeatedly reaching for a few hundered chocolates spinning in a whirlwind (before) & a ton of random chocolates with even faster hands reaching for a few thousand chocolates spinning in the whilrwind (after).
Hello!
I am wanting to know what u think of this phone, also my incredible is getting a little slow and this one is said to have more ram and better CPU. Does its GPS work good I am finding my inc is not working right there, also will this be getting cm10.1 like my inc has? Thank you so much for the help, the myn reason I like it is it only costs under 80 $ on eBay or glyde.com lol

the only difference is the CPU stepping, a smidge bigger battery (which will last the same time for the bigger screen), a bigger screen.
Although the CPU is a S2 there really is no difference in the two. GPS does go out on some Thunderbolt's. CM10.1 is JB; I and a couple
more devs are working on it right now, though CM9 isn't even fully working. which is ICS. If you have S-OFF AND full root then you will
have great fun with it. The Thunderbolt won't disappoint... I have played with both and they are just as fast... I say go for it!
oh with dual 3G radios you cannot go wrong :b
Also what do u think about the rezound I can get one of those for under 130$ is it better ?

I say dont get the tb. Its old outdated and runs hot enough to keep your pocket warm on a cold day. If u look around a bit more a 100 bucks will take you a bit farther then the tb. Being as it was the first real 4g phone it has quite a few issues. Data stalls being a major flaw in the device. I had 4 in my house hold. And htc chased me right over to samsung. Its was good in its day but so was commodore 64 but u wont see anyone using one

even over-clocked and using it for constant radio (BT) streaming it never got warm on me.
I was running ICS Bliss on it... which isn't released yet but hey....
I had the bolt and it never ran hot unless I was charging it and running tethering at the same time. if the phone was running hot all the time you either had the governor set to performance or you had a bad battery. I have the rezound now and loads better over the bolt. so get that over the bolt you won't be sorry. the only thing the bolt had over the rezoind was it was so easy to unlock and get s off. even with the latest boot loader update the bolt got its still easier. with the resound to get s off you have to do the wire trick.
you can look on swappa for phones as many people buys them on there.

I had a thunderbolt before getting a S3 and there are times I miss the bolt. I had great luck with each ROM (SOAB, Thunder Shed, and Santod's ICS Eternity. Heck, I would have loved trying his new Bliss ROM. If you decide you want a bolt and I can figure out how to clear mine I can sell you it with an OEM and Rezound battery, a couple of cases (including a PowerSkin case) for $100. I have been hanging on to it in case a developer needed it, so no worries if you would prefer the Rezound.
