Galaxy S can play 720p rmvb,why iphone 4 & ipad can't?

Seems like some people managed to play 720p RMVB on Galaxy s.
IPAD/IPHONE4 has almost the same CPU with better GPU and option for overclock.
What is the reason that is preventing us from playing 480P???? Not good enough app or something else?

You've got something wrong here. The CPU is indeed virtually identical, however, the Galaxy S has the more powerful GPU (SGX540) whereas the iPad and iPhone 4 have to make due with the less powerful SGX 535 which delivers only about one third of the performance of the SGX540 (28m triangles/second on SGX535(iPad/iPhone4) vs. 90m triangles/second on SGX540 (Samsung Galaxy S))

If this isn't a troll, which I'm thinking it is, I'll answer properly.
The iPad/iPhone can't play anything (without jailbreaking) that apple doesn't allow....and there's not a lot that apple does allow!
Also the GPU on the iPad/iPhone4 is worse than on the Galaxy S. It's the model below the Galaxy's

Who doesn't Jailbreak a iphone lol and its not illegal to JB now as its been legalised in the USA, i sold my Galaxy S for the I4 and I wouldn't go back personally, by the time Android catches up on gaming there will be newer phones out.

in fact , I just responded to "iPhone 4 now plays 1080p videos easily, then why Galaxy S can't"

It has never been illegal to jailbreak the iphone, so it can't possibly have been "legalised". The only thing that happened was that it was confirmed to be legal by federal regulators.
Besides, contrary to what you seem to believe, whatever they say in the US courts does not apply to the rest of the world. It may still be illegal in Whateveristan (or some other random country, like the UK for example)...

Yugh those iphone trolls on XDA are really annoying especially on on the android section. I mean i compared the iphone 4 vs galaxy and chose android because of the freedom of choice instead of buying something that is been defined and controlled.
Second just like the Galaxy S supporters say (including me) the iphone 4 has lower specs so if you want to f**k spec and sheet go find an accountant to do it with but keep those comments in this section to yourself regarding iphone 4.
Wtf iphone, jobs can't even say in correct english that he makes a phone with wich you can call.
Like Ipod, imac or Ipad.
No it is called mp3 player, personal Computer and Tablet english lesson from a dutch guy world doesn't get much weirder grrrrr.................

I just lost some faith of humanity while reading the TC's comment..
Also my prejudice against iphone users grew stronger!

lol this just cracks me up, well said, good sir.

Mate, are you dumb or what?
I just posted a question. If it doesn't concern you, you don't have to read the thread. How the f*ck you decided my thread is trolling? If you're not interested in what your device is capable of, I don't understand what are you doing in this forum.

What does it matter what the device is capable of?
Capability and what is currently useable are completely different things, both the iphone 4 and the galaxy s are 'capable' of playing 1080p, its just that through hacking the iphone can now play 1080p video, whereas we are not there yet on the galaxy.
Can the iphone play half the file formats that we can? no, and that is far more important then 1080p video
The iphone could stream 2000p for all the difference it makes, what you are seeing on the screen is still the same
If you want to play 1080p on the galaxy s then feel free and make a video player that supports it...

Oh I see now, you really are dumb. You are thinking I'm saying that iPhone 4 is better than SGS in something.
Well, NO.
I used iPhone 4 as an example ONLY because it has the SAME CPU and slower GPU. If EVO or DROID X had the same hardware, I'd be using them as an example.
You say that there are no matter what are the capabilities and only matters what we can do at the moment? LOL. If Desire's owners were thinking like you they'd never get 720p recording with Froyo.

sigh................................................
The iphone and the galaxy have the SAME HARDWARE
that means the capabilities are the SAME
Capability = Potential
If the iphone 4 can play 9,000p videos and cook you breakfast with its cpu then so can the galaxy s, just a matter of time till it gets supported/hacked

[Q] Should i buy the Xperia Play?

So im thinking about getting it for christmas, would anyone recommend it? it's only €169.99 which is less than $200 and thats not on contract so i think its good? anyone have anything negative to say?
P.S i'm coming from xperia X8

If you like to play yourself through good old gameboy + nintendo and some playstation stuff and many new game apps and you don't want to miss nice features of a smartphone (phone, sms, mp3, navigation, internet, camera), then go for it.
I don't see any reason for me actually to buy a new smartphone. There are SOO many games playable thanks to all the emulators, but only the Xperia Play seems to be the only one so far who can be used out of the box to play (nearly) them all. The playstation keys are so great imo, I don't want to miss them. I'm currently stuck at a "Pokemon" game and my list of games I want to play when I'm on the go is SO HUGE that my Xperia Play will follow me until the buttons break out of it's case!
All other components of a smartphone are included too. ofc the processor could be faster, the camera could have a better resolution and the battery could hold a bit longer, but imo it's a very nice device.
... and the current price is a true Xmas present.
Best regards
AltFFear

The gamepad makes it the best phone for gamers. If no smartphone comes out in the next 5 years with a gamepad, then the play will still be the best phone for gamers 5 years from now.
Only non gamers would argue that fact.

and seriously?! Sony Ericsson announced support of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Xperia Play. That's awesome! With my HTC Desire I had to wait SOOO long just to hear that they aren't able to upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3, I mean wtf?! Sony Ericsson made so much right here. Even the stock ROM of SE works nice and all updates are usefull. And you get so much accessory in the box, man!

i get what you mean but for example if someone says something like the..... the wifi drops a lot...... then i would reconsider buying cos its important to me i just wanted to make sure all the features that are important to me work well

Dont mind sour grapes there, he bought a porche but wanted a lamborghini.
Long story short, if you want a phone that is the best for playing games get this because of the gamepad makes a ridiculous difference.
If you just want a great phone that does everything perfect then keep researching other phones.
This one is for playing games, thats what it does best.
P.s.
If you get a different phone, please play some multiplayer games as us play owners will enjoy eating you for breakfast.

only problem with xperia play is your stuck mostly with emulators which are fun but after a while they get tiresome and only certain games work with them and gameloft keeps subtracting its xperia play optimised games from the market

YES
'nuff said

I'm a 5-month user.
I would say most games out there are not optimized for Xperia play, and those that are can actually be played with the touchscreen anyway (maybe not as well)
I mainly play emulators, and I see great success when playing more fast paced platformers (impossible on the touchscreen) like Megaman, and RPGs that makes use of the shoulder buttons a lot.
If these are not your type, I think there are better phones out there.
(Other issues: my play came with a lackluster battery.)

how about space? I heard the internal memory was like 400 mb? Shouldn't it going to be like few gb?
EDIT : I was planning to get Xperia Play to, currently at X8. I wanted to play games more, I saw there're a lot of games like fps. I would love to play those games. especially like Modern Combat 3.

Gameloft dosent sell any of its play games on the market, the ones on the market are not play optimised. You have to buy games from the gameloft wapstore.

Hi AndroHero, you seem to have a good setup - could you help me with the below please.
How big is your second partion and format do you use. I did 1gb in ext2 to achive the below

But I wonder if there is something I could do differently to have even more internal memory free like increasing the partition. Or having apps moved to sd instead of linking first and then only linking dex and lib but not apk if possible but I haven't managed to achieve that. Also having link2sd seems to make booting quite a bit slower. Maybe ext2 format is not recommended.

im looking at buying a play at the moment, however im not to certain on the actual power of the phone and how well it will handle games that are MMORPG like order and chaos.
theirs more powerful phones on the market then the play, will these play the games better then the play or is their some kind of magic that happens in the play?
I love the fact theirs a physical controller but im also not to worried on being stuck with just a touch screen controller if ive got a more powerful mobile.
someone help me make up my mind
once i get it the phone will be most likely jam packed with apps, and i love gaming.
not to worried about the PlayStation certified as most of the games ill play are on the android market

I'm thinking about upgrading from Galaxy S2 to HOX...

I was planning to buy a new smartphone to replace my Galaxy S2 and thought I would get the HTC One X.
I am slightly put off by the horror stories that are flying around about very poor build quality, GPS problems, WiFi problems and probably the main reason, I heard that the HOX is having problems with some high end games!
The fact that the HOX uses the Tegra chip means surely it should handle any game thrown it's way, right?
I have heard that when playing some high end Tegra 3 games it often overheats and/or freezes or lags like hell. The only way to stop is to install a patch or some sort of driver upgrade, is this true?
Would love some info on how the HOX handles high end games as I play a lot of games on my phone.
Thanks guys!

1. There are 700,000 threads with the same start as this one. You didn't even need to search. Just read the first page.
2. Your list of nightmares are pretty much the exceptions. Not common at all.
3. If you think the phone has all these flaws, why bother?

These forums will always have tons of problem related threads, that's the nature of forums.
Mine is a launch day HT23 model and is issue free.
What games do you play, and I shall let you know how they perform.
Issues with games tend to be Gameloft games, they ain't supporting Tegra chipsets that well.
But games like GTA, Max Payne, dead trigger, mass effect, pro evo 2012, sonic, shadow gun etc all run great.
Only Gameloft game I own that runs properly is Modern Combat 3, I'm not sure why they haven't fixed the others yet. (But I haven't tried them all)

People who get normal products won't came up and shout, i get a good phone..
In contrary, many who get a abnormal phone probably came up here shouting..
Though, I had to admits that HOX has higher defective rate compared to others.
Just make sure you checked the phone before leaving the shop, you may find some guide here.

I've been lucky enough to not have ANY hardware problems with my One X at all. It seems like there have just been a lot of isolated incidents of hardware faults with the earlier batches that HTC sent out. By now, you'd be quite unlucky to run into any of these issues, but if you do get a One X, check that you don't have any of the hardware issues (which have been documented here on xda) before rooting it.
As for gaming, i've mainly played Dead Trigger, Osmos and a few other 2d games. So far, i haven't had ANY issues with any of those games. Dead Trigger looks particularly amazing though with all the special tegra 3 effects and it runs smoother than it does on my friend's S2. Actually, i also played Dark Meadow (a tegra 3 optimised game) which looked REALLY good and ran very very smoothly.
A lot of my friends have the S2. The biggest differences between the two devices will be the screen resolution, the speed of the One X is much greater in general too (especially on AOSP ROMs, but ESPECIALLY jelly bean). Also, the One X will probably be a slight decline in terms of battery life from the S2. However, i seem to get pretty similar (and GREAT) battery life on my One X compared to what a lot of my friends get on their S2 phones.
I hope that helps. Give a thanks if you found this useful!

Thanks guys,
Glad to hear it's just the early batches that had faults.
And as far as gaming goes the only Gameloft game I play is MC3 so that's cool
Think I'll bite the bullet and join the HOX club, it does seem like one hell of a decent phone!

Well, mine is a launch day model and issue free
after the 2.17 update to 4.0.4, home screen smoothness is the smoothest I've seen on non-JB devices.
Only slight jerk in frame rate for me is opening the app launcher, it doesn't happen every time but its due to the animation HTC have added were it loads up from the bottom and moves up the screen.

gameloft games for some reason are anti tegra, you can even see visible clipping issues in them and so they lag
the only heavy GL game that support tegra properly so far is The Drak Knight with full effects and good performance
their upcoming wild blood game should run well, since Tegra 3 has proven to run unreal engine games pretty well such in the Dark Meadow and Horn
Tegra 3 is a hot chip due to the 40nm process but one of the most stable chipsets i have ever messed with, much more stable than all my snapdragon devices, even at the hottest temps the device never freezes
as for the temps they are actually similar to the SGS2 and not worse
finally Tegra3 and the software for it has matured pretty well matured now and all the major issues were squashed
all other non GL games runs very good, THD games are amazing
you will have to root, install faux kernel and use the renovate gaming boost app to get the most out of this device for gaming (without sacrificing HTC sense)

I had S2 earlier and loved that phone. HOX is the best phone i have every used till date until i started experiancing the issues with in two months of purchase.
1) WIFI death grip : Fixed by serivce center - (lose contact)
2) Yellow / warmer whites (HT23 ) - Got replacement to SH 25 and whites are beautiful in display
3) Screen banding -/ Shattered display screen , will become normal after trying 5 times by putiing phone to stand by mode and unclock
Service center ppl are replacing the borad in next three days
Hence decide

Defect free since first day and dropped the phone many times and still not yet broked and have played all gameloft game except nova and they run well.
I love hox . If you are an good dropper then go for hox.

Apart from it being one of the fastest devices on the face of the Earth, what are the advantages of having a THD phone like the One X? Well, free THD Games of course! And Beach Buggy Blitz by Vector Unit is just that!
The game got released on 7th September, and is developed by Vector Unit, the minds behind two of the most popular THD Games, Riptide GP, and Shine Runner.
Race you vehicle in an endless game, completing objectives, and earning coins along the way, which you can then spend on items like Cars, Characters, Items, and Gadgets.
Here are some screenshots of it I took:
The catch? Well there isn't one. Sure, you can make in app purchases and buy extra coins, but this isn't freemium or of the likes, you can fairly easily play the game through without any IAP.
And Lastly, what you've been waiting for.

The Beach Buggy Blitz game by Vector Unit is very nice. It is more a pick up and play like game, small, enjoyable and fun. It is a checkpoint based game, where you ride until you reach a checkpoint. This means it has a very old-school like gameplay, which is very nice in my opinion. The graphics is good, like all tegra optimized games and is running pretty smooth. You buy power-ups as you do more races, because you need coins to do so.
Edit: Also this game is a lot like the style of temple run brave, now that I think of it. Also did I mention that this is fun...

I don't think you should say the game was released yesterday mate. What if it's 20days from now, then the game wouldn't have been released the day before.
Just a small tip.

Very nice game.

This game worries me.
Ok, not in the same way that the impending collapse of the international financial system worries me, nor in a similar manner to the worry one is encouraged to have in the face of global terrorism but it does still worry me.
Sure, its pretty but then that's to be expected. We already know what the Vector Unit engine is capable of because well, we've seen all this before. This isn't what worries me by the way.
What worries me is that I drive for about 90 secs, racing to beat an impossible timer, collecting coins that are worth almost nothing, to buy powerups that make little difference, to fulfill objectives with no rewards. I'm doing it all just for the sake of doing it. Again and again I drive around 3 or 4 versions of the same tracks to end up 90 odd seconds later with an extra 40 or 50 coins to save towards a powerup costing 400 that does nothing to help me and then costs a further 2000 to upgrade.
Is that fun? Maybe for about an hour but then as I get into it I realise the horrible truth and any fun I have had is tainted by a uncomfortable sensation of feeling cold and a bit ripped off. True, I never paid for the game but that's a bloody hour of my life. An hour I've given them. An hour I'll never get back.
I'm going outside now. I may be sometime.....

You have a point, but I made about 30-40 coins or more in a race of less than a minute. Not bad if you want to buy all the cars. But like all Vector Unit Games, it gets repitive

the camera tilt works for me

Never mind it getting repetitive, it runs like a crock of ****e on my phone running venom. Jerks and stutters all the time even with the graphics turned all the way down.

really man it works

Camera tilt works perfect here too. But this game makes me want to set my phone on fire...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I've been playing this in shortish bursts off and on for a few days, at first it was quite frustrating getting used to the tilt controls which is weird, as I got the hang of Riptide GP immediately.
The other thing which was a pain was the jerkiness, especially compared to Riptide GP
I saved up some coins and the power ups didn't feel as though they were making much of a difference. I'd upgraded each of them by at least one...
But then I upgraded the buggy and it changed my perception of the game. Yes it is still a bit jerky, but now it is not as frustrating.
I think that i'll carry on playing this for a little while longer
Oh yeah, I'm running this on my Vodafone uk branded 1.29 still, so I imagine for those on 2.17 or CM10 mode or ARHD mode, it would be like a blur to me!!

Venom with stock kernel runs this game with NO issues!

This is one the mosf hardware intensive devices on the market and it cant run games without lagging and getting horrible FPS?

What games? I have 2 on my note and they run perfectly so far. Maybe a lot of things happening in background when you were trying to play?

I installed Real Racing 3 and it was maybe running 15-20 FPS at most. Makes no sense.

I play fallout shelter, and it crashes after during launch.

I had an S7 (Exynos) before and I was very impressed to see how good it ran games for an extended amount of time. I ran an app called system monitor which has a pop up window showing CPU utilization and speed and I was very impressed that the S7 would run all of its high powered cores on 2.1-2.3Ghz in the games I tested. ( HIT, Mobius Final Fantasy , Non Stop Knight )
Now with the note 7 (Exynos 930FD), I immediately noticed that Mobius Final Fantasy is now stuttering on my device so I ran system monitor and saw that that 2 of the big cluser cores are offline and the other 2 are only running at 1.4Ghz. I restarted the app, saw all 4 cores peg at 2.3Ghz for about 10seconds then it turns off the 2 cores then after about 15seconds more the big cluster drops it clock speeds to 1.4Ghz and has a very stuttery game play.
This did not happen with my S7. I do not know if the latest software update had anything to do with this as I updated the phone before I installed anything. The same deal happens on my GF's phone too.
I only played the said games when I still had my S7 (which i've sold, but not for the note 7 )
I am hoping that this is just a software issue on the Note 7 but on the other side its 'just the same' phone.
I have seen some Exynos gaming videos on the Note 7 in youtube with 60FPS and they look very smooth but I am not sure if it is due to the 60fps capture.
I have also tried running the screen resolution in 720P and the Big clusters still drop to 1.4Ghz and power off 2 cores. quote.

Are you guys using the Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 ?

820

I have noticed something, If I press the home button and return to the game or just use the multitask button and return to the game immediately the game frame rates go up and the game runs smooth for the next 10-15seconds before it stutters. I remember with the Nexus 6P when the phone thermal throttled after 2-3mins of gaming if I put it infront of the AC the cores would run at max speed and my game would be very smooth but on the note 7 it will drop the performance. Im thinking this could only be a software glitch.

I have the same model as you and noticed that after the latest update , games that were not lagging at launch now lag and stutter. Hopefully a fix is coming.
My s7 edge exynos does not lag with the same games. This N930FD also didn't lag in games when I got the phone last week, until the latest software update.

I never had the chance to try the game with the shipped software as I immediately updated it but if you say it didnt lag with the stock software then that is awesome to hear, i hope it is just a software isssue and this feedback needs to get to samsung asap.

I have that one off, on my GF's Note 7 its not even enabled. I have also tried uninstalling it.
I appreciate the tips, are the said games on this thread running smooth for you ?
Since you have HIT, do you get 60fps ( using the fps counter on the game tool ) on the character menu with graphics at 4 ?

Does pokemon go lag for anyone else? Coming from a iPhone 6 the lag is quite noticeable

Have you mates tried to doing a factory reset and clearing the cache partition after you updated the firmware?
It fixed the stutter issues for me.

Hit on the S7 was very very smooth at Graphics 4, Mostly hovering around 56-60fps. In Graphics 5 it sat around 50-55 depending on what is on screen. With the note 7 I still get similar FPS but lower and stuttering at times on Graphics 4.

I performed a factory reset, before and after updating I did not clear the cache anymore since I thought a factory reset will clear the cache. I will do that in a bit. Did you have stuttering issues prior to doing a factory reset? What games?
