Guest JimJam707 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Hell no :D Black and red is just epic Seriously though.. The Pulse has gaps all over it, shoddy build quality :D My spica, don't know about others, came with 2 back case things. You know. The battery cover. One red and one black.
Guest Rem1x Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Hell no :D Black and red is just epic Seriously though.. The Pulse has gaps all over it, shoddy build quality :D I'd disagree with that, appart from the port/sd covers, it's a pretty solid phone!
Guest Azurren Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) I'd disagree with that, appart from the port/sd covers, it's a pretty solid phone! The menu / back button cutout.. It's got a sizeable gap around most of it. Mine has some tissue dust (white) inside which makes it stand out like a swore thumb Oh and.. *Creek* *Creek* *Crack* *Creeeep* Damn battery cover Edited August 15, 2010 by Azurren

Guest MuhaJR Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Nah. I ordered one but T-Mobile (lied to me?) said it had been cancelled. They haven't lied - T-Mobile Pulse AKA Huawei U8220 IS cancelled and in some countries replaced with T-Mobile Pulse Mini.
Guest twrock Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I installed Android System Info to have a look at what was going on in there. Only 20m free RAM with only Swype, my widgets, and the basic core functions (phone, acore, PC services, etc.) showing up under the Tasks tab. Here's what really looks weird to me though. The widgets look like they are taking up an inordinate amount of RAM. For instance, Smooth Calendar Widget is all of 107KB in size, but is reported to be taking up 15.96mb of RAM! And Digiclock widget is taking up over 16mb of RAM. What's up with that? Edit: So I removed those widgets from my desktop and rebooted. No better off with free RAM (now only 16mb free). And now it says Fancy Widget (and other apps I don't use as well) is running and taking up 16.74mb of RAM. I don't even have Fancy Widget on my desktop. It's a bit confusing to me how this memory management is being handled. Edited August 16, 2010 by twrock

Thus my theory of "Borrowed RAM" comes to light It may be completely right but I'm no expert The pulse is constantly borrowing RAM from vital system processes to run widgets and apps. Thus lagging the hell out of the device. (Android tries to keep RAM above 30mb. If it goes lower it kills some tasks, the pulse is always < 30mb ram :D) Edited August 16, 2010 by Azurren

Maybe we should try to get WinMo, or iOS or something. The only thing my iPod does when it gets less than 10MB is slow down, and maybe respring. And WinMo is just crap. Maybe it could mate with the Pulse or something. :D Meh.
Guest niko1986 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 Seem crazy to me that old pc's could run windows 98 lightning fast with 64mb of ram and a 400mhz processor and a pulse now make these pc's cry in comparison but seems so much slower and inefficient.

Try the same computers with different power source (u know the stupid case that get's burnt alot, don't know the right term for it. and now i feel dumber! :D ) and see the results. The one with the optimal power source works great, but one with lower power source is quite slower. It's the same with the mobile devices, laptops and anything that is on batery.

Swap that 400Mhz Intel compatible processor for an ARM one and notice the speed difference. Inefficient I will agree with. You can make a efficient, fast OS in 128MB, but it will take you several years. By the time you release it with enough apps to make the phone usable, your phone is out of date. So instead people use pre-written solutions for speed. These are not as efficient, but getting your product out the door 18 months earlier is a real bonus. Of course, with platforms like Android, it also means you can share applications written for other phones which use the same platform - another bonus.

I guess thats the advantage of Apple they control the hardware and software and can make it a lot more efficient.
Guest Azurren Posted August 18, 2010 Report Posted August 18, 2010 I guess thats the advantage of Apple they control the hardware and software and can make it a lot more efficient. Well.. It may have something to do with Android running on top of a Linux OS. Same as if you ran Windows using a Linux Virtual emulator Well not exactly but you get the idea
