Hi every one. I have a question, i had the razr i then i sold it so i could affort the razr hd but im really disappointed. I thought that the hd was way better than the i. But i can see a BIG difference on speed. Is rhis true or is it just me. In on O2 jellybean. I see lots of sturer on hd specially when direcory bind gets root permissions. What can i do.. or is this the real razr hd. a slower cell than the i.another thing the res. Is 1280x720 but galaxy's note screen is more pretty even though the note is 1280x720 of res. Too. Can some one explain me.

After a month of use I finally took my Galaxy Tab 8.9 back to the shop today to get a refund. Turns out that people weren't exaggerating that slowdown you get on Tegra 2 tabs...
Anyway! I'm in the market for a new Tab now. I'll probably hang on to see if anything is announced at Google I/O (like the rumoured quad core $250 tab) but if not, what's my best bet? The 7.0 Plus on Honeycomb or the Tab 2 &" on ICS?
My biggest concern is how well the 1GHz TI OMAP + PowerVR GPU chipsets in the Tab 2 hold up against the Exynos + Mali400 in the 7.0 Plus. As long as the Tab 2 can deal with 720p .mp4 video (which the 8.9 certainly couldn't!) and play decent games like Sonic 4, GTA III and Anomaly HD, I'll be happy.
I have the SGT 2 10.1 which also has the same chip as the SGT 2 7, and I can say the 720p screen and ICS is too much for it. All the games play quite bad, even custom roms don't fix much of the lag. I am thinking of selling it and getting the cheapest Acer/Asus etc. quad-core tab.

I'm hoping performance won't be as bad on the 7inch Tab due to the much smaller screen resolution. One thing I am considering is where I can reliably purchase a 7.0 Plus from, which at the moment seems like no-where. I have purchased it from online sellers in the past and had many issues, such as bad firmware or missing IRDA blasters.

Personally (And please take this with a grain of salt as I purchased the Tab2 7.0) I would go with the Tab2 7.0. First off the CPU is easily overclocked past the Plus' CPU, so the only real advantage the plus has is out the window. The 7.0 doesn't have a rear flash, but to tell you the truth, if you are taking pictures with your tablet you are doing it wrong.
The 7.0 has plenty of speed especially after ROMing and OCing. Even without that, the tablet still flies compared to the OG Transformer I used to own. I don't know if the 10" is that much slower, but it sounds like an over exaggeration to me. Touchwiz is pretty decent on the tablet and leaves plenty of RAM (Usually around 500 MB after initial boot) to allow the device room to expand.
I was debating the two before buying and I just believe that the Tab2 7.0 is a much easier buy, especially for the price.
Oh and don't forget the 7.0 has ICS while the Plus is still stuck on HC, that's actually really big right there.
For the videos, I found on my Tab 2, some players are better at playing certain videos than others. For instance I have some 720p MKV anime files that play well with software decoding on one player, and run 720p mp4's like garbage. I then switch to the other player and the 720p mp4 runs smooth like butter and the mkv can't render.
So yes, the TAB can handle the 720 files, you just may need to find a video player (or players -- I use 3 different ones) that works for you. (1080 content though is pushing it).

Just asking if you tried 1080p mkv and what was the result. Cnet reviews for Tab 2 10 showing slow frame rates while they said they couldnt get it to work on 1080p.
Im just wondering how come a Galaxy S2 phone can play native 1080pmkv just fine, with a few 0.4 (or is it 0.2) ghz dual core. I know that processors are made by different companies, so is the Texas Instrument processor just not powerful enough?

I just tried a 1080p mkv with diceplayer on HW rendering and it ran fine. Then again I am running a custom rom.
Also a 1.2ghz exynos > 1.0ghz OMAP4.

Just to clarify you did a test on a Tab 7.0/7.7 / 2-7.0 or a nexus?

I'm wondering why my phone, a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD, spec'd as having 1GB of RAM, actually has total usable RAM of 822MB (202MB less than 1GB). My Asus Droid tablet (Transformer Infinity TF700T) is also spec'd as having 1GB of RAM and has total usable RAM of 975MB. They are both running ICS. So on my Motorola phone, 80% of the RAM is usable, and on my Asus tablet, 95% of the RAM is usable. What's up with my phone? I need that 202MB - what is using it, and can I get it back?
For comparison, I just looked at my Windows 7 notebook. It has 8GB RAM with 7.89GB usable, or 98.6%.
I suppose some small amount of the RAM is needed for overhead, but typically not much. 80% is really low and really weird, and I'd like to know what's causing this. I've googled but found nothing. Does anyone here know?
I'd assume the 20% is perminantly dedicated to system apps or apps/processes moto/Verizon deem important. Just a guess though.

In this case, yes, you are looking at a lot of RAM being used by the Video Card. But the system processes as well. There are a lot of applications that are running that you have no other option but to run (bloatware and other Verizon bullsh*t). It is a generally recognized problem with the amount of usable RAM, but hopefully when Verizon decides to remove the rest of their stuff, which they vowed to, it will help a bit. If there's something I'm not seeing, I'd love to know, but this is just what I have been able to recognize thus far.
Okay after owning a year I finally sold my Optimus 3D [P925]. Its quite a great phone, but sadly I never used the 3D feature . Anyway Thanks to every one who help me on making the Optimus 3D experience more pleasure. The only reason I am selling this phone is because of its weight, thickness and 2D camera quality [Photos, but the Full HD videos are good ].
Anyway cause I don't like bigger screens, I will stick with another 4.3" screen [Maybe I will purchase a HTC One S, Galaxy S2], but I didn't decided yet.
I will come back to this forum though to help others with as much as I know
Thanks Again to all contributors in this Section/Thread
hey good luck btw consider the nexus 4 ..

Nexus 4 also have the 4.7" screen, BTW is there any 4.3" phones which have HD resolution [But should have light weight and thin]

Sony xperia S (CPU 1.5GHz ,, dual core) or xperia SL (1.7GHz dual core)
they have 362 ppi with BRAVIA Engine that means better than galaxy S3 or other HD screen phones .
it has 8 M or 13 M camera (I can't remeber )
So, from what I checked on the phonearena site, both phones have the same processors and graphic cards though the GS3 has 2GB of RAM vs the 1GB of the RAZR HD.
My question is this, why is it that the GS3 seems to be so much more smooth in it's operation than the RAZR HD even with custom ROM's? What are we missing?

Possibly because TouchWiz is optimized more than Motorola UI/AOSP. The added gig of RAM helps with performance too.

That would be the first time I've ever heard anyone call TouchWiz optimized. lol

Well, I'm a long time Samsung user going back to Moto and I experienced TouchWiz from GB to JB so I can tell TouchWiz has gone through a huge transformation in that time span.
right now i have razr maxx and i want to change with xt925 'razr hd'
please tell me how much xt925 better than my phone in camera, gameing and etc
thanks for your answer
any answer ?
A quick comparison in gsmarena.Com should do the trick, but if you are going to upgrade might as well get the ultra Maxx, better than RAZR max hd. Just no expandable storage

Ive had both, the xt912 max (cmda version of the xt910) and the xt926M (verizon version of the 925 with maxx battery) Very similar phones I can attest to everything on them but battery life of the regular versions as that is the only difference other then the maxx xt926 getting 32gb of memory.
Both have same storage roughly, the x910 had 16 and 11.8 available, plus sd card slot. the x925 has the same 16 gb and 12gb available and supports sd cards officially to 32gb and unofficial to 64gb
Everyone saying no expandable storage is thinking of the NEW droid ULTRAS are the XT-1080, those are the ones without removable storage,
For those that saythe x925/926 dont have a sd card slot, its next to the sim card tray its just a pain to get to because you have to remove the sim with the included tool that i unfortunately lost.
