Why Tegra 3 OC isn't needed

  Sorry viewers :( I abandoned my blog after less than 6 months of usage however, I haven't realized the important message the blog has had and it's own importance to me in spreading the word about things that some may say meh it doesn't matter or things like WOW that simply rocks.

      So, many devices like HTC's previous flagship the ONE X (Endeavor) or Google's own Nexus 7 feature the Tegra 3 chipset and I feel that it simply doesn't need to be overclocked. For example, we can overclock the Nexus 7 up to 1.7GHZ yet, to see our benchmark scores go up a few FPS or shave .001 of a second from app launches but honestly I feel it's just not needed for a Quad core CPU and 12 GPU to be overclocked due to many risk that not only affect warranty (Thanks HTC) and long term usage.
   
       Many devices with Tegra 3 are throttled when heat levels exceed a certain temperature and the device begins throttling it's self to maybe 800 MHZ and/or taking some CPU cores offline to protect from heat damage. There is a solution to this called undervolting, however undervolting can cause long term usage problems and short terms problems that can be fixed with a simple battery pull. For example my old Samsung Captivate when it's undervolted when running @ 800 MHZ it simply crashes but a much higher frequency 1.5 GHZ uses when undervolted has to use less power due to what I believe is caused by the die on the CPU meaning that my phone will crash when undervolting @800MHZ but not at 1.5GHZ no matter how high or low my MV is.

iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S

           The two biggest differences with the iPhone 5 and the 4S are gaming and cellular communications with the iPhone 4S (GSM) only has HSPA+ 14.4 and the iPhone 5 (GSM) has DC-HSDPA+ which has a max of 42.2 megabits and with the support for LTE which in the US makes the AT&T iPhone 5 the perfect phone to purchase unlocked and use on T-Mobile with LTE support. The iPhone 5's CPU which has a much faster instruction set and a PowerVR SGX 543 MP3 GPU which is twice as fast as the iPhone 4S.

          Both phones will have at least a two year life span of updates from Apple but as long as devices like the HTC ONE V continue to sell the iPhone 4S and even the iPhone 4 will continue to receive updates from Apple.

WMATA fails

 This and the other following post will be pictures of the WMATA Metro Rail and Bus system fails, confusions, and changes that maybe funny to others but can irritate you when you are trying to figure out the Metro Rail system.

< Anything from Fort Tottent Metro Rail station on the Green line was closed.

Straight Talk data speeds

     Well,we know Straight Talk had an AT&T SIM Card which uses AT&T towers, repeaters, and some on the Internet have claimed that they were able to connect to an activated AT&T Microcell. After using Straigh t Talk for quite a while I must say that I'm very pleased with it. Their is one drag back that there is no roaming what so ever. I know some maybe turning down AT&T due to what was previously know as bad coverage, data speeds, etc AT&T has MASSIVELY improved to when you are shopping for a smart phone you choose T-Mobile for data speeds (HSPA+) and AT&T for coverage. Below I have a screenshot of my iPhone 4 on Straight-Talk one speed test I was at a Metro station in Washington DC and the other I was at my school, can you tell which is which?

iPhone color conversions

                

           If you own a black or white iPhone then I want you to know that you can change the colors on your device such as a black phone with a white back or complete color conversions which change the bezel entirely and the front. Please be advised you are doing all modifications at your own risk as I'm not in any way shape or form responsible for what you do. The best thing I recommend getting is a pentalobe screw driver and few very small screw drivers which all can be found on Amazon.com. You can use this if you bought a used device pretty cheap and it has gone through everything then you can change out everything cosmetic on it and make it brand new including the bezel of which holds all of the radios such as Wi-Fi and bluetooth so be careful.

WMATA Bus routes

                                                Now as the our cities become more crowded with more people and all of those people all trying to get something done wether that is productive or just for fun WMATA has a bus route for you to speed up your commute. Wether if you are new to buses or to train the bus system does help as for certain destinations such as Georgetown which cannot be reached by train you can ride the D6 and get off at Georgetown or continue to Sibley hospital. Some destinations can only be reached by bus such as Mount Rainier but if you ride the train often or you just got off the train try catching to as it is free with your SmartTrip card but this is only free from rail to bus transfer not bus to rail. However you want to be advised that certain busses only run is rush hour such as the 97 which is non rush our turns into the 96 which goes to Tenleytwon station and the 97 which goes to Union station.

iOS 6 battery drain!?

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOs 6 I felt a noticeable drain in battery life basic tasks such as phone calls and text messages left me wondering why bother. iOs 6 is known is cause bugs on its devices but work arounds can be done however their is no official fix for battery life. A few things that I have done on my iPhone to save battery life like change applications syncing on iCloud so random syncing and data usage will decrease. Another fix is to remove the pod cast application from your device as this pesky application runs in the background and is far to buggy. Turn off location services as your GPS uses a lot of battery, terminate running applications from your recent apps menu and last remove applications from your notification center.
