been looking at ios 4 gold master release reviews, either from Internet reviews or bigger tech news sites. it appears it's as snappy on the 3gs as the iphone 4 was when they got their hands on it at wwdc, which is slightly surprising. but then not so much.
i've been reading some info about this a4 chip, as i wondered why steve jobs didn't coin "1ghz cpu!" every other word like he did the ipad. my personal guess. down-clocked for battery performance. equally though i read that the a4 is actually based on the a8 cortex which the iphone 3gs already has, so it's almost to the point where it's just a custom version of that:
in the ipads case, it's just a stripped down a8 so from where i'm standing and what i've read. iphone 4 really isn't going to feature any sort of bump in speed over the 3gs, which is good i think for allot of people waiting for their upgrade date.
i'm personally letting the dust settle and until t-mobile uk bring out pay as you go options, which will see me get rid of my 3gs for the iphone 4.. but until that day arrives, i'm pretty chuffed that the only major upsides to the iphone 4 is new design, screen and camera.. and that we won't see any speed reduction.
If i get an iphone 4, i understand you get a new microSIM chip. but say i want to keep my whatever noniphone lying around as a backup for emergencies, will that old SIM card in that old phone still work? if yes, then does that also mean if i wanted to sell the iphone 4 on ebay, i would be ok? i'm wondering in case we upgrade everyone in the family plan, but not everyone wants an iphone.
I'm in need of a new sat nav for my car and I'm getting an iPhone 4 when they're being released in Belgium, so I was wondering how accurate the built-in GPS chip works? If you feel it's not accurate enough for fluent turn-by-turn navigation, can you recommend a carkit/accessory with an external GPS antenna (like the TomTom carkit. are there any others?)
My Iphone does not accept the chip TIM Brazil.I've replaced 3-chip times in less than 2 months, and the message is always the same "invalid chip" or "chip not inserted"...
A friend gave me an old iPhone 3g running iOS 4.2.1. It has a broken wifi chip an apparent flaw in this model of phone. Are there anyways to have it get network access without using the cellular data network or wifi bands?
I can get through the first one to the spot where you select your data plan and then click continue and you're sent to ANOTHER dreadful processing screen! I cannot make it through that! I always get an error! Anyone else?
Has anyone here done this on thier iPhone? I thought I'd seen a post or link with some good info, but can't find it now. I'd appreciate any insight anyone has. (Our home business has never accepted credit cards before but would like to start.)
my iPhone 3Gs (White) seems to take ages to laod anything that i am trying to use on it, especially whilst a music playlist is on shuffle, after each song, it takes roughly 30 seconds for the song to start playing (which is very tedious after a while).
Is there anyway I could speed up the processing speed of my phone? and is there a hardware upgrade i could get such as get an a4 processing chip installed into it?
After several hours the ios 5 software update finished downloading but my internet was interuppted while the file was processing. The update shows up under the iPhone Sotware Update file. How do I get it installed on my phone?
On all of my iOS devices (iPad 3rd generation, iPhone 5) downloading tracks takes a few seconds on wifi, however having downloaded it takes minutes for it to finish "Processing...". Downloads on iTunes on the mac are fine and finish as soon as it has downloaded the data.
As someone who is planning on acquiring a 9800, it'd be nice to know if the 624mhz can be replaced with a more powerful one? It'd be nice to have the option from any kind of 3rd party if I am to enter a 2yr contract for this device. Thanks. I'm sure i'll be satisfied, but it's the latter half of the contract that I'm worried about as I'd expect RIM to produce more enticing things to come.
I downloaded the blackberry desktop software but I don't know how to format the chip first. Its not the chip that came with the blackberry, I inserted one with more memory. I managed to transfer my pictures to my PC but now I don't know how to reverse the process and upload those pictures to my new chip on my blackberry. I
I connected to my pc using usb cable to view some pics and ever since then the phone processes very slowly and no internet connection. I tried shutting it down for a while to see if that would help but no luck.
My bold moves incredibly slow!! It's a company phone that can with some apps on it but I never use them so they aren't running in the background. The phone will take anywhere from 5 to 45 seconds to do the command I am issuing, even simple things like trying to unlock it, open emails, scrolling through pages.
i recently got a new nokia x3-01, the phone becames so slow in 7days, the menu takes a min to turn up.Even the basic operations take long duration.i need to switch off and later switch on then the speed is quite better.But the cell phone has seriously disappointed me.My prevoius nokia 6233 even after being used for 3years works better.i feel i wasted my money
So I took the first couple pics with the camera and now I've had a persistent notification (been there overnight at this point) that says "processed 2 of 8 items". Has a progress bar on it and (at this point) yesterdays date.
I bought a Blackberry Curve 9300 and it has been deterioted for the past 6 months.Its latest shannanigan is now every so often it comes up with a box reading "an error has ocurred while processing your request".I think it happens when I send or receive messages.
I Was wondering what games are out that can really utilize the amazing processing power of this phone? My areas of interest are Racing games and RPGs ( The more old school the b7vetter).
is there anything for xoom hc3.2 wifi only model that allows word prosscessing and storage of created docs on the xoom and printing of said docs on xoom from xoom to a kodak wifi printer?
First off, I returned my Torch because of software problems that I couldn't wait to be fixed; namely the BT streaming glitch. That said, I have noticed some commentary regarding the Torch processor speed that I see as seriously ignorant and wanted to provide some insight.Processing power is not a function of clock speed. Processing power is a function of the elegance of the instruction set, the design of the processor's peripheral registers and buses, and the programmer's competence.What does this mean? A very simple processor will have lots and lots of instructions that you can use to build the machine code. Also, a simple processor will have registers to accept instructions and registers to respond linearly to what was input, with no peripheral registers. Think of a box with a chute where something comes in and a chute of identical size where something comes out. In contrast, an elegant processor design will have very few instructions, will have peripheral registers, and require a much more intelligent programmer to utilize.
For this type of processor imagine a box with a chute where something comes in, a chute where something comes out, and chutes all around the sides of the box where specific products automatically come out that can be used to make something without more coming into the "input" chute. FYI, the elegant processor has fewer instructions because it already performs automatically many of the functions that require an instruction and extra clock cycle on simple processors.
A processor works by taking the product that comes out, storing it, waiting for more product to come out, then combining products to come up with usable data. Obviously the faster you pump out products, the faster you make something usable. But what if the elegant processor has products coming out the side chutes automatically, without being told by the programmer, that can be used to keep from having to input and output info over and over to come up with the same end product? Well, it can work more slowly and accomplish more in less time, because the design is sophisticated and the programmer knows how to instruct it. Think of the products coming out of the side chutes on a good processor as products that come out the end on simple processors. The simple processor needs extra instructions, and consequently extra clock cycles of output going to the input over and over, to make specific products come out that the elegant processor simply places on the side chutes without being asked. For this reason, good processors usually have fewer instructions to use.
Let's go back to the year 1997. You had Intel Pentium, AMD Athlon and Duron, and Motorola processors, in general. Intel has always had many instructions, few peripheral registers, and fast clock speeds. Motorola always had a very simple instruction set, peripheral registers, and relatively slow clock speeds. AMD fit in between.What did everyone buy? Well, of course Intel because Intel was faster. But guess what? My AMD at 700 MHz smoked the crap out of an Intel at 1 GHz. Did the Intel fan boys care, or know what they were talking about? Of course not. We all know that old Macs with Motorolas killed PCs with Intel processors of identical speed and did not require ultra high processing speeds such as Intel.
Intels have historically been designed for newbs to utilize. They have (or at least had) an instruction set and overall design that requires an ignorant programmer to use clock cycles for every single calculation. The Motorola was designed for intelligent people to program however. The Motorola will yield usable data(on the side chutes) that can be used, or not used, for every clock cycle that can be combined with output to effectively stack data in one clock cycle that an Intel will need at least 2-3 cycles to produce by going from output to input over and over. Thus, the Intel has to be significantly faster than the competition to do the same work. I suspect that Intel, over the last 10-12 years, has caught up with the overall quality of its processors because the top speed is changing little while their productivity is rising quickly.
I was almost certain I came across a screen with separate apps for viewing word processing and spreadsheet files, among others. But now I can't seem to find it. I'd like to carry around a spreadsheet I have at home (Excel) if I wasn't imagining things.
"Show all" in the menu doesn't give me any relief.
Will like to check what are the photo-editing programs (free to download from the net) that you will recommend if you will like to do some post-processing of the full size image at 38MP via desktop/laptop.
So, the chip I use, after the update, is now invalid. I tested it on another phone, and it worked. And I tested a different chip on my NeoV, and it also worked... I wonder why my chip wont work. Will I have to change my chip?
I just got my iPhone yesterday, and with apple being the homepage for my mac, i was looking and noticed the iPhone 4s is supposed to come with the apps Find My iPhone and the hd 1080 video recording. Mine didn't?
