Is jelly bean for A2109 actually slower than ICS?

[vampirefo.]

With all due respect, you cherry picked the one number that the article said wasn't impressive - the processor benchmark. It was improved, but not much. In the next set of tests, they tested graphics. Frame rates improved as much as 30% in some of the tests (23 fps -> 30 fps) and in no test was it slower. No, I haven't done individual benchmarks but I have identified one application that was almost unusable under ICS because of lagging video that runs fine in JB. I watched a few of the Google I/O videos on JB and they put up slide after slide of performance gains with explanations of how they improved performance that make sense to me (and I am a developer with decades of low level experience). The improved video performance is the main reason I am glad I upgraded. Being able to use the tablet as an extra TV was one of my justifications for getting it and it was frustrating to watch anything in ICS. Upgrading to JB fixed that problem and the only thing even slightly bad I have noticed is the minor glitch with the IdeaPad launcher. Hopefully they will update that soon, but it isn't bad enough to make me consider downgrading.

No problem we each have our own opinions, If you believe JB is faster then for you it is, simple as that.

All I know is I will buy a 6 pack for who ever figures out the battery drain issue when I turn off wifi on jb. As I use my tablet as my dash In my truck bluetooth to ford sync, it's hooked to tasker and shuts down Bluetooth and wifi when I turn off the ignition. I really don't want to have to go back to ICS but its killing my battery over night and does not charge fast enough on short trips. ICS it had 99% power in the morning only 1-2% drop max. Ten min drive an it's fully charged again. Right now I had to pull it out to get it dialed in again.... Man I love this thing but why in the hell would it keep searching for Wifi if wifi is turned off. Makes no sense ARGGG !!

Btw here's a pic of my truck with the tablet installed all work was done by me

Awesome...

Yes, awesome indeed.

Ok here is the solution and you can pm me the 6 pack. Why don't you just leave the wifi on? I leave mine on 24/7 and the battery is good. Is there a reason the wifi can not be left on, it goes to sleep on its own after a couple minutes by design.
I do not know how you have this wired in but you can surely find a 5-7v 2 amp constant current supply for the tablet. That way it charges at all times and can never run down.

Also as an aside, I have left my wifi turned off for days and do not have this problem. I am running JB factory with root and bootloader. I wonder what the common factor is between the tablets that have this issue?

Has anyone with the power drain tried safe mode?

How to access safe mode


It would be interesting to see if you are still getting the problem with no 3rd party apps running. So full charge, boot to safe mode, and turn off wifi and see how much the battery drain is overnight. I don't have the problem so I can't test this.

Yes they would as I already posted the cause of the drain. just install droidwall configure it, set it up to log, and one can see what is draining their battery.

But does it do that only after something (like a 3rd party app) triggers the behavior? There must be some reason that only a few people get the error.

There is no error that I know of, and as far as I know it effects everyone on JB.

No beer for you as the tablet is wifi hotspottd to my phone when I am driving and when I have to park my truck at the office far away from wifi It kills the battery over the day. I need to be able to kill the tablets wifi and bluetooth using tasker

I have left my tablet with wifi on overnight with no wifi available for it to connect to and battery drain was minimal. I did the same thing with wifi off and got the same result. Leaving wifi on with wifi available drains a little more but still not much. I charge nearly every night mostly out of habit and only rarely out of necessity. Screen time is the big culprit for me; if I let my son play Galaxy On Fire, and it will need a charge.
