Lexar Class 10 32GB micro SD card benchmark.

Image
Recently i get myself a Lexar Class 10 32GB micro SD card to be used with HTC EVO 3D. Surprisingly the read and write speed is not in quantum league compare to the original Class 4 16gb card. I have try to use edit the cache size for SD from 128 to 512 but the performance do not improve much.. Maybe it is the Android 2.3.4 issue. We need a fix for this!!!!

[ROM] LeeDrOiD 3D V2.0.0 - 3rd September | HTC WWE #2.3.4 Review

Image
i flash to this ROM yesterday. 1.After flash the WIFI dont work but i have apply the fix mention in this forum and the problem is solved now. 2. Dice is not working. I uninstall it so that this icon dont appear 3. The BEAT preset equalizer dont work. There is no difference between the normal and BEAT preset. 4. Running benchmark using Quadrant Standard give me score between 1300 to max 1700! that is low compare to my stock ROM which can give me score at a region on 1800+. I try the 3 CPU add on fix on the first page of this thread and the result is the same. This ROM gives low benchmark score for quadrant. I even try to use setcPU to set to performance and set the max and min to the highest speed. I still get bad results in Quadrant. A very noticeable drop in FPS when benchmarking the graphic. 5. Battery life compare to stock i think is better. 6. HTC Friend widget will cause the HTC sense to lag. 7. HTC sense will force close after initial reboot. Intermittent problem 8. THe HDR mode

HP TouchPad Review Part 2

Image
I am going to continue my review based on real world example and honest comment.. Issue 3.:-The WebStore have plenty of non quality apps..Why i say non quality. Some of them dont even launch properly and exit. Majority is not optimized based on HP TouchPad screen resolution. And most application is not even useful.... For god sake..Nyan cat in HP webstore?? oh please... Issue 4: I notice HP removed all PAID apps from the web store. This is evidence that the HP Touchpad is going to be a fossil soon... Issue 5: As you can see from the pic above. Apps is not optimized based on the HP Tablet Screen Resolution! This is really not acceptable. If HP is going to compete against Apple this is going to put HP down the drain.. The native Internet browser works fine. I can goto 2 most famous website, facebook.com and youtube.com Flash work as advertised :) However one thing worth mentioning is the touch screen is somehow not responsive. Let me explain, the touch screen is responsive however the O

How to Share Office files online for free !!

Cloud computing is the future. What cloud really mean? If you are using gmail then you are already using cloud. Ok another concept is create office files like spreadsheet and word online is possible now with google docs. You can access it here ;- Click Here Once you login with your google account you can basically see the friendly interface shown below.. You can click on > Create New > and select > spreadsheet if you want to create an excel type of document online. The best thing about this is you do not need to have microsoft office install to use these productivity tool.However these are very basic ala excel clone. Dont expect full functionality of ms excel here but it is sufficient for most people. Go ahead and give cloud computing a try!

Another video capture using the HTC EVO 3D. I notice that 3D is not suitable for macro or if your object is near and the viewing angle also play an important factor. That explain why not all scene in a movie can be 3D

Groupon Malaysia is nothing but lies .. cheater

Lately my wife get me a go kart coupon from http://www.groupsmore.com/ but this web site is nothing more than false and misleading marketing. How it work.. 1. They claim that the normal price for the service is let say rm38 they will mark up the price at certain percentage and then sell you the coupon at rm30 and claim that they give you 80% discount or 50% discount when the actual discount is no where near. 2. The go kart package from the Groupon is even a bigger lies..they claim they have professional training course at certain price but when you really sign up the schedule for the class is up to the organizer to define..which mean you have to wait wait wait wait and wait till the class is open without a real timeline and date...

Samsung Omnia i900 3 year Aniversary

Image
I still remember when my wife bought me an Samsung Omnia i900 as my birthday present. It was the king of mobile back then...err beside the iphone. It has the highest spec in the industry..but but now it was so outdated. It have gone through lots of surgery...i battery replacement, a touch screen transplant operation ..and now it is as good as new.. but with all the Android hype, can this old Samsung i900 run adroid Witu? the answer is yes it can run, however a lot of function is not supported cause Samsung do not want to release the information on how to interface the Android with its i900 hardware. So fella Omnians out there dont even bother to try the so call Android port of Samsung i900 cause it is not usable at all.!! I repeat not usable at all.. It is better off with its faithful Windows Mobile 6.5 . But is this lil hardware still usable now? Well it is..you can use it as a MP3 player, A media player if you have the TV output cable, a phone (of course this
