Something about flash memory wear

First from the article

Then reddit picks it up and gives some insightful comments

It seems that the same problems that affect SSD performance will also affect the eMMC chip ..... since it is flash and it has a flash controller.

However there is no TRIM command available to us unlike in SSDs.

100mA isn't going to make a real difference in your charging duration ...

Up to 3 hours is normal.

Man ........ the 2 faced hulk is international. Check out this post link and the guy's avatar...

Was it due to too much framework.jar modding?

This could be therapeutic

It's not my homescreen, just something I pulled off Google+

Mine is awfully boring.

I wholeheartedly agree with this

Anorexic design.........

Good morning.

This is a very good article on perception of "lag"

Lag isn’t always a death sentence
http://pocketnow.com/2013/06/14/smartphone...-death-sentence

We recently had the opportunity to review the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, an experience we enjoyed primarily because of the device’s innovative hardware: a 6.9mm-thick, 495g chassis that manages to squeeze water- and dust-resistance onto its list of features.

Pocketnow is currently in the midst of reviewing the BlackBerry Q10, a peculiar blend of yesterday’s design cues with a modern OS – and we’re enjoying the feeling of real physical keys under our thumbs again.

The third-generation Apple iPad and Microsoft’s Surface RT also share space in our office, and we love the sturdy (if heavy) hardware feel of each. Other high points include the 4:3 aspect ratio of the former, and the capacity of the latter to transform into a faux-ultrabook when needed. They’re excellent pieces of hardware.

What do these smartphones and tablets have in common? They’re all devices we have great things to say about. They all play an important, positive part in our day-to-day interactions with technology. And, at one point or another, every single one of them demonstrates software lag.

The thing is people who use android don't understand where the lag can come from. First of all android is using a java virtual machine (dalvik VM) to run all the apps as well as the launcher. So each time an app is launched the dalvik VM has to load and compile the app. In other words when the app is compiled the VM generates binary code that is native for the CPU/architecture that the VM is currently running on. Now there is a jit (Just in time compiler) as well to help speed things up. There is so many advantages why Google an android took this approach. One of the major ones is that you are not tied to any CPU/architecture. That is why blackberry can run android apps. Also you see x86 android devices running android apps as well. WP and .net are suppose to be kind of like java. However most developers compile the WP apps native to the platform. So the app will not work cross platform. There is an advantage to doing this of course, and that is the apps will run faster since they are already complied for a particular CPU/architecture. Now android can do the same as well by making your app use native code for a particular CPU/architecture (ndk). But now the app is not cross platform any more. So basically the more ram and CPU you throw at android the better. Since most android phones nowadays offer high specs, then this isn't an issue anymore.

I know the perfect example of this. I started playing the new Ironman game on my Galaxy Note 2. My friend was playing the same game on his iphone. His was lagging and I said how can you play with that lag. He had just gotten used to it. I used to be used to it too but after using a device with less lag, I don't think I would go back.

It reminds me of when I play games on my PC.
People would come and say my games lag a lot.

The funny thing is: I don't notice a thing.
I'm used to it, and I enjoy the games I play.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, even with a bit of lag here and there you can still enjoy a device.
(Not that I like lag or anything, obviously)

Remove and add account again? Or Samsung servers are full? I think it's not the first time.

Can we have this screen protector:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/ClearPlex-s...ally-is_id44236

In this video, the ammunition used was .45 #9-shot, which has about 150 grains in each shot, so keep that in mind. The ammunition is nice for pest control, but initial muzzle velocity is about 1,000 feet-per-second, so you know there is going to be a somewhat decent show. The ClearPlex screen protector for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is able to deflect the shot admirably.

ClearPlex’s screen protector for the SGS4 and other devices is $15. If this video is enough to convince you to pick one up, click the source link below, but whatever you do, do not try this at home.

I tried an overnight without charging it, it was about 3-4% and Deep Sleep most of the time. I usually leave it plugged to the AC charger when I'm sleeping.

From the ROM Tracker I compiled, out of the current active ROMs since Jan, there are a total of 558 listed versions, not counting the old ROMs that weren't updated since December, nor the "Nightly" types.

1 ROM every 2 days would have kept anyone busy for 3 years or until the eMMC dies

Cantik cantik.

Why don't you use this:

No stalking here, I'm not like some socially maladjusted persons you may meet

Just saw a familiar pic and gave you a +1 .... not good meh?

Any Samsung Service Center if yours is an SME set, to retain the warranty. However if you suffered water damage, it could have affected the mainboard as well, or it could be the mainboard problem. How certain are you that it is just the LCD?

Did you try to dry your phone thoroughly first?

Anyway the price is approx RM700 for the screen, and if it's the board I think about RM600.


So full of spite .... bad for your health and those around you...

Just use some small black.jpg and voila you have an all black homescreen. That's what I do with my boring boring stock theme.

I can't either, but I think it's coz we younger people tend to install a lot more chat and social apps than uncle.

I remember the FIRST DAY after many moons when I performed a factory reset with NO APPS except for TiBU, I got nearly 6hrs SOT. Then after I restored my stuff it all went downhill.

I usually get between 3.5 to 4.5 max,data and wifi whole day.


The stock wallpapers look like some feminine hygiene products

That's the shipping charge IINM

I think he said something like RM130+ in the last thread.

Be careful hooh888, you may get your stalker shortly........I don't know if that's what you wish for or not ...

I thought you are the Uberflashoholic, you shouldn't mind flashing.
