Yeah, go ahead. You might want to take a look at the leaked documentation for OEMs about hardware specs, you'll easily see that there are areas where OEMs are free to choose components. They are offered some options using which they won't need to bother about drivers, but they don't have to.

You may also see examples of this. Like Surround having a dedicated chip made by Audience for microphone noise cancellation. A dedicated audio chip is also mentioned in some AT&T materials, and if you bother to look at teardown pictures you may try to identify components by their names. Some basic components were identified but some weren't.

Either way, you'll see there are significant differences in hardware between different WP7 phone models, it's easy to see on teardown pictures.

You have nothing about audio. And you can see that even radio related components (such as power amplifiers) are different in different models. SoC is one of a dozen or so chips that go into a smartphone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You apparently don't understand the SoC is the whole system. It's the part that makes all these phone work the same. Just because they have different display tech or different memory sizes doesn't matter for how the system works.

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Give it a break. The system is identical and I proved it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Sound output requires several functions. At least one of them can be provided by the SoC. Snapdragon processors have DSPs built in. You'd still need a DAC and a power amplifier. I'm not sure whether the Snapdragons have them. But they may.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

You absolutely didn't. The specs you provided tell nothing about components apart from the SoC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
They don't have dedicated audio chips....in the vein of chips like Wolfson or Yamaha or any other audio chip. The SoC does all of the audio processing.

Yes, I did prove my point. Anyone looking at those specs would realize the hardware is identical. With the exception of the two LGs, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Hate to say it, but you didn't. All you showed is they use the same SoC & not all are the same. The CDMA SoC is not the same exact SoC in the GSM phones (Different radios built in). To say they are identical means they "everything" is the same. Even N8ter said there's a difference w/the radios when he said Samsung has better signal quality than HTC. I don't know if he's right, I have no signal problem with my HD7, but he's got a point. They are allowed to use Audio chips outside of the SoC. You definition of SoC is wrong also. Not all SoC have radios built into them.

SoC stand for System on a Chip, which means the Northbridge, Southbridge, CPU, & GPU functionality has been combined into one chip... The radio being added is something new. I think nVidia only just added this into it's Tegra SoCs. I may be wrong, but know it was just recently announced some SoC builder only recently added it. Also, just because something is built in doesn't mean it's exactly the same. They all support Cameras/A-GPS/etc., but there's external parts that are interchangeable. Perfect example is N8ter is also right about HTC having poor cameras. Hopefully this new lens that the Titan has will change that.

The downside of integrating the radio into the SoC is you must make different models. I believe there's 4 different models for any one Snadragon SoC; CDMA, AT&T USA GSM Frequencies, T-Mobile USA GSM Frequencies, & Worldphone GSM Frequencies.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NotTarts:
If the SoC does all the processing, and there's no other hardware involved, then why isn't the audio output identical? Audio quality/hardware varies greatly across the Windows Phones, and I don't understand why you can't accept that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I never said any of the WP7 devices had Wolfson chips, you're shifting the topic and show misunderstanding of what "audio" means. I'll repeat, you have DSP, DAC, and analog amplifier. All three functions may have profound effect on audio quality (and DSP is the least important). You can have them integrated in one chip, have each function performed by separate chips, do something in the main SoC and externalize, for example, analog amplification. The results will be different.

If there are two phones which are an exception, how can you claim all phones are the same? And how can you claim that MS mandates hardware for audio and doesn't allow OEMs to use components external to the SoC for audio processing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You don't get it. There are no dual cores. There are no dedicated audio chips. There are no different CPU speeds. That's all I'm talking about. All WP7 phones are the same...with the exception of the two LGs. Granted, the radios between the GSM and CDMA phones are naturally different...duh. But the system is identical. The same GPU. The same CPU. The same wireless...

How is it you aren't realizing this? Any non-biased, objective person would see the same thing I see.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khw1959:
Searching did not reveal the answer.

Before I rooted (2.2 and radio not known) I would have full strength anywhere in the house with WIFI. After rooting and installing CM7 my signal is weaker.

Installed 2.15.10.07.07 with no improvement or with 2.15.00.05.2 (current)

WiFi scanning in areas I used to receive service fails to obtain them.

3G seems somewhat weaker but that is only a guess. GPS is good.

Advice?

(or after rooting it is really now telling me the truth)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Wifi has nothing to do with the radio. Not sure what your issue is caused by though. Wifi bars may visualy change at different percents in different roms like battery mods do.

Is there any hope of this working for the AWS Streak? Us AWS owners seem kind of few and far in between, so I'm not sure if this has even been addressed.

I know there have been some phones that never came with the app, nor were meant to ever have it (Nexus One for example), and they now have Wifi Calling. I'd be willing to give a pretty generous donation if anyone could get this to work.
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
Do you mean you cannot do it using Skype and Fring and so on?
[Streak 5 General] jkusmc:
Some tmobile branded android phones have a feature callled wifi calling which basically makes the phone a microcell. Regardless of your cell signal, you can make calls with your regular mobile number. The app is a preinstalled tmobile app, but has been made to work on some non tmobile branded android phones.

[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
OK, and your on T-mobile, so have you tried installing a apk from one of these threads?

As its T-Mobile specific and sometimes hardware specific, unless someone with a T-Mobile AWS streak posts the apk for you, your not gonna get this working, if all else fails there is always google voice, skype and so on.

According to this thread, it will not work.
[Streak 5 General] jkusmc:
Im pretty sure its not hardware with android phones. Some of the android phones that currently support wifi calling were out way before they made the feature possible with android. The nexus 1 for instance, was never intended for wifi calling, but with some tweaks, they got it working. From my knowledge, the only real limitations for android phones are aws bands and a tmobile sim.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tri0xinn:
Just in case anybody cares.. thought I'd throw in my 2 cents after having it for a couple hours.

My last phone was the Tmobile galaxyS 4g . First as far as size.. normally I may have an issue with it but being so thin and light and the beauty of the screen makes up for the footprint. Biggest improvement for me would be internet cruising.. screen size/font size and general slick and quickness makes it a huge benefit over older phones for browsing. I typically use my tablet for light couch browsing.. but this phone may possibly change that. Flash video loading .. for example justin tv or twitch tv is insanely fast close to desktop speeds. Netflix works like a champ as well. Everything at this point has been pretty much instant.. this phone is bloody fast especially for being right out of the box.. will be cool to see how custom roms and kernels will do with it. Oh yeah and the gps is super quick to lock on.. 10 seconds or so versus an inconsistent 1 to 2 minutes with the original galaxy.

I would have to say the only downside of this for me is the network speeds.. 3g speed test in my area show if I'm lucky 1mb at best.. and 3-4mbps with 4g. My tmobile was a solid 5+mbps at the very least.. I traded tmobile's faster yet limited network for Sprint's slower yet steadier and consistent wider spread network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Thanks for your initial impressions. I'm also making the switch from T-Mobile to Sprint and knew I'd have to compromise with network speed. T-Mobile's HSPA+ is pretty damn fast and Sprint has paused their WiMax rollout. I had an Evo before returning it and noticed that WiMax was tough to get indoors. I'm hoping Sprint will be making a major infrastructure transition over to LTE (it's in the plans) and by switching now I'll grandfather into a nice unlimited plan.

25% off monthly, unlimited data, nights @ 7pm, unlimited mobile to any mobile, google voice integration made the switch pretty easy for me.. but I don't expect data speeds to be that impressive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tri0xinn:
25 percent off? that'd be great.. how? Sprint guy told me to join a local credit union and I'd receive 10 percent off.. I thought that was great.

Also yeah it kinda sucks about Wimax.. are they going to transition completely away from it?

I think data speeds have been getting worse for Sprint as Boost and Virgin mobile get more popular .. that's alot of data usage

Btw, i did break one thing...i think.. When i removed the part with the LEDs i managed to break one of the GPS connectors (if that was it), but i haven't tested the GPS yet so i don't know. But i never use the GPS so it's not that big of a deal really :p

I still want to do it when i have some spare time, probably next week.

I'll try the GPS tomorrow and see if it's totally useless or not.
[Off-topic] stumpyz9:
I meant the led cover sorry, does it just pop off
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Aha! You have to remove the battery cover and the battery, then you'll need to use a long thin thing and press a clip and then the cover will lift itself up a little, and then you use another thin "thing" and "unhook" the other clips.

There are some videos on YouTube that shows you how to do it, but be VERY careful so you don't break it.

Google Voice showed up on the Market and also Amazon. It's functional but does not include call-out capabilit as I had hoped. It will do voicemail and text message but you still need GrooveIP if you want to be able to do Voice over Google Voice :mad:

You have to have a GV account set up and a GV number, but it's goovy. I don't have GrooveIP yet but am seriously considering it at $5. I've got a cool pair of noise reducing BT headphones that have a mic, so I might as well.

However, I'd love to be proven wrong! I use Google Talk / Video Chat a lot so it would be a very welcome addition.
[Acer Iconia A500] mknewman:
On my Android phone it allows you to choose if you always want to use GV for calls, ask every time, never, or only for International calls. It uses the stock dialer, which is where GrooveIP comes in. My reluctance in buying GrooveIP is it would seem a natural fit for Google to include outbound calling for tablets, so there would be no need for it. My guess is eventually Google will buy GrooveIP (they buy everyone!) and it'll become closely integrated.

I thought id better make this thread so people can get together and share the best quadrant scores they've been able to achieve with there Samsung galaxy s2.

When you post your scores include the following;

1:The ROM you are currently Running Albeit stock or custom.

2:What kernel you have installed.

3:if over-clocked include the speed at which its running (Min and Max).

4.Any other types of tweaks and mods you have.

5: And the finally your score.

Apart from that it would be nice to include how the battery life is etc. and how you think its the best for the speediest ROM (I'll make a chart sometime down the line with the top 10 fastest galaxy s2 phone on XDA)

These Are My Results So far;

1: Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3

2: SiyahKernel v1.2 - Battery Freindly Version

3: Over-clocked to 1.6ghz (min 1.6 max 1.6) smartass v2

4: No other mods or tweaks.

Score = 4434 :D Best for me so far

Im currently using lite'ning ROM because it offers me a lag free performance experience, not to keen on the blue theme but will be changing it to green soon. and as for battery life i think its very good and only sips on the battery when not connected to wifi and just pottering around town listening to music and texting with the occasional use of google maps.:)
