If you can't see that the text looks like shit on a pentile display, you should get your eyes checked.Copernicus said:

Yeah the Pentile thing is nonnews. I made peace with it when I fell in love with the Note.
Yeah, the preorder site needs to go live yesterday.

Pentile sucks. I went from an HTC Desire to a Samsung Vibrant and it was one of the first things I noticed. It's nice having a bigger screen and better colours and pure blacks and all that stuff, but text quality takes a huge nosedive.

I also cannot see any sort of meaningful difference between my OG Galaxy S and an iPhone 4. Just not noticeable to me. Does the high resolution screen not invalidate the whole fuzzy text nonsense, I am far more interested in engadget's claims on colour accuracy.brotkasten said:

That because your Galaxy S II has a Super AMOLED+ screen and doesn't have that pentile matrix. Enjoy your screen!Opus Angelorum said:

I actually meant my original Galaxy S, but yes the S II is better at text display.
Sky Chief said:Everyone complaining about Pentile should read this article. Thanks for posting Dr. Funk. On text in particular the SAMOLED HD Pentile display looks significantly crisper than the SAMOLED Plus.
So it seems kind of similar to the DLP controvery in TV tech a few years ago? Where some people would see a rainbow effect if they looked quickly to the side or something? I mean it's not identical issue wise, but maybe it's something that a small percentage of people would notice (or someone that zooms in under extreme magnification).

Galaxy Note looks like its white balance was done inside the Matrix.

You think they got real optometrists to opt in for testing?josephdebono said:
From my understanding in ICS they're just a screenshot of the app's state as it was when you hopped out. Whereas in webOS the cards are "live." (like, a video would keep playing, or a .gif of a single tear rolling down a childs face would keep rolling, or texts from copernicus would still pop up)mckmas8808 said:

Apps don't actually close when you dismiss them from ICS. It's just a fast way of clearing them out from the list.mckmas8808 said:
Also: webOS cards are more like traditional desktop operating systems in that apps can open multiple windows. Android and iOS only have a single window for each app. Frankly, after using the Touchpad for a while, I found it annoying have to manage multiple windows.

I thought TIMN clarified with Google that it does close the apps. At first they reported that it just removed them from the list, and then they reported that they clarified and it does close them. I'll look for the link.

That photo is just a simulation of a simulation, you cannot be told that pentile is serviceable, you have to see it for yourself.rabhw said:

On CM7 I can force-close any app I want by long-pressing Back. Don't see what the problem is.
Copernicus said:
Hopefully someone will get more clarification.. Maybe they're just freezing the process. Seems like the only issues these days are from rogue apps consuming vast resources in the background. For example: I uninstalled Photobucket app a few days ago because it was using resources inexplicably when I had never opened it. Found out via Spare Parts as my battery was going down for no reason. Somehow it was running in the background and using some resources. The leaked Google Music APK was also killing my battery a few days ago. Like causing it to drop 10 percent in about 10-15 minutes when I was done using it (wasn't downloading offline music or anything).
Zombie James said:
That's a dev feature though, the problem is people swiping away apps in the middle of a process and then going back and not seeing their data properly committed or changed.
Force closing to me is the equivalent of end process tree on a windows machine.

But they're already frozen if they're not in the foreground.
I don't know, guess well find out November.

Maybe it will kick the app representation to the notification bar while the process finishes and then close it? Its already pretty common for active processes to appear in the notification bar while they run.
I'm testing it on the emulator. I start up the browser, go back home, and then go to settings. It's not in the running apps list, but it is a cached background process. Swiping it away in the recent apps list kills that cached background process.
I then start up music, go back home, and then go to settings. It is in the running apps list, so I swipe it away in the recent apps list. It starts out with 1 process and 1 service, and when I swipe it away, it kills the process but then starts to restart it. Weird.

After dismissing it in recent apps, it restarts, then starts back up:

Oh god, they are force closing it.
Expect a shitstorm from users using apps that don't properly save state.
Copernicus said:
It'll be a temporary shitstorm until the developers fix their save states. This is much more preferable than just freezing it as it's ambiguous. You wouldn't gain anything by that other than clearing some room off that screen. This shows that when you're done with that app and won't be using it soon, you just drag it off. Makes sense to me. In fact, I was very excited when they showed this part in the presentation.
While I can hold down the back button in MIUI and it does the same thing, this is quicker and much more intuitive.

Force close isn't just the same as completely closed. Force close will stop the process being able to do any cleanup stuff.Divvy said:
I really doubt Google is force closing the apps, rather waiting for them to do their cleanup then closing them, rather than keeping them frozen, otherwise they'd have definitely mentioned this in their dev guides for ICS.
