Yes and those chips are expected to be A15 cores which are expected to have twice the performance as an A9 and better battery efficiency. So in other words, it is like intel's medfield chips, despite only one core, they still beat all of its dual core competitors in the benchmarks and more likely in experience

Based on what online resources are saying and how far technology has got my prediction for Galaxy S3 would be:

4.5-4.7inch HD Screen

Quad core or high frequency dual-core processor

10 megapixel camera with larger picture sensor and of course Full HD video recording

he same case but larger screen and no physical buttons at the button

Larger capacity battery but still won't last for many days in the row as the technology is not there yet.

It could look like this as technology allows to create such phone:

That looks Okay at best. 4.8" PENTILE amoled. so HTC wins hands down. There is quadcore exynos at 1.4ghz. GPU unknow, probably mali 400. HTC has super LCD 2 which is miles better to look at.

On the other hand, samsung has ton of new software additions like S voice(siri copy), gesture stuff like that.
[Android General] feelinfroggy23:

Only a 1.9mp ffc? The amaze that came out over 6 months ago, yet is already eol, has an 8mp rear camera and 2mp ffc. Maybe it's me, but I'm getting less and less impressed with new phones...maybe if they could make them smaller (4.8 inch is huge) and thinner with better battery I'd be impressed.
[Android General] monkeychef:
Don't forget that its not only the hardware that counts, but its also the software.

I'm personally very impressed with the new GSIII. It looks like it has a great screen, the software will be top notch, and the specs are fantastic. I was very happy to see a 64gb variant with a microSD card, along with a removable 2100 mAh battery. The phone should last a day easily with any kind of use, but I guess we won't see until it comes out.
[Android General] eliasadrian:
Yea, I know the software should kick it up, and in general it's a better phone than most that are available now. I guess I just expect more, but I have no basis to, haha.

The 64gb option, micro sdcard, and removable battery already make me like it more than the HTC one series. We'll see how it does, Samsung finally sounds like with their software additions they'll be worthy of being the top Android manufacturer.
[Android General] jashy67:
Not even a single true thing there, except maybe the internal memory and the OS which are far to be a surprise :D.
[Android General] adelmundo:
IMO, Samsung focused more on the software and user experience than on the hardware. We really have to remember that XDA-type people are really a small minority of all the Android users, probably not even 1%. To compete with the likes of Apple, all the other Android manufacturers, and WP7, Samsung really does need to differentiate itself to appeal to the average everyday non-techie type person.

How do they do this? By improving on the User Experience, which I think the S3 is trying to accomplish. Focusing on what average people want, such as taking pictures, tagging them and sharing them easily to people, gesture and eye recognition type stuff, etc.

Sure as techie types, we would love to have a quad A15 Exynos with 2 GB of Ram, 1080p Super Amoled Plus , etc., but I think a Samsung is trying to move away from that direction and making the phones more intuitive, yet still giving us just as good as or better hardware than the competition, but improving on the EXPERIENCE.

Just stop using Macs for the real 'backstage' work. Now, regarding your issue, first, check the resolution. You need to set it really high. Secondly, you need to have proper video drivers.

[HD2 General] SMS92:
Hi all,

I've read the stickies and other threads and just want to be certain I'm going about this the right way.

I have a hardware fault with my HD2 (running NexusHD2 v3.0) and want it repaired under warranty. HTC have accepted to take the phone back but I'll obviously need to flash it back to stock.

The oldest ROM for my device appears to be "RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe" which is likely the one that shipped with the phone as this is one of the first off the production line, so I'll be flashing this one.

The hardware fault on the device has caused the MicroUSB port to break, so I won't be able to flash via a cable. I see I'm able to flash a stock rom via the same method of custom WM roms (that takes me back! :p ), but what I'm wondering is... after flashing via SD card, will the stock rom both remove HSPL *and* the newer Radio rom I flashed?

I assume I won't have to Task29 the phone or anything before flashing WM, as iirc you have to Task29 via a cable.

Thanks for your help! :)
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
I'd download the official ROM from HTC's website (that you have to give them your HD2's serial number), just to be sure that you won't flash a wrong ROM and everything will be in order.

Also flashing via SD the ROM should remove both HSPL and newer radio (I'm 100% sure it does that with official ROMs, but with unofficials it may change only the radio).
[HD2 General] pteradactyle:
flashing a stock rom will not remove the spl..cause ive had first hand exp with it

just flash the stock rom then get the hspl package from this site and you can flash the stock spl from it
[HD2 General] mosio:
Flashing via SD removes HSPL - Confirmed !
[HD2 General] Shadow Samurai:
I have a hd2 with a radio hardware fault. It works great without the sim inserted. When I send it to htc to repair should I revert it back to tmobile stock rom or let them see it in android with the sim radio not working?
[HD2 General] tleaf100:
Just send it back as it it.

Mine got the dreaded no touch problem so sent back as was.nobody even mentioned it being hacked..
[HD2 General] Shadow Samurai:
What do u mean.. they will still fix it anyway?
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Thanks everyone for your advice - flashing stock now. I'm lucky enough to have a rooted Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500) as a backup phone so I won't have to be without Android, but I'll sure miss the HD2 while it's repaired! :)

To be honest, I wouldn't risk it. Companies will do anything to get out of warranty claims, and by doing what you've (we've :D ) done, we have voided the warranty and should expect no service from HTC regardless of the fault in its current condition.

It's a shame as my hardware fault obviously has nothing to do with flashing software or the like; it'd be like an insurance company not paying out when someone hits your car because you'd changed its radio.

HTC might be a lot more, um, "human" though, like tleaf100 found out... but I just wouldn't want to chance it. You're sending the device direct to their chosen repair centre anyway, they might not be so decent!
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Just to confirm - the (latest) Vodafone UK stock rom removed the custom SPL, splash screen, radio and everything else. You'll soon know if your stock rom removes all of this as it goes through an [OK] checklist while it's flashing. :)

Being back on WM seemed rather strange. :D

All ready to be sent off...
[HD2 General] OrionCarl:
HTC are so **** with service send it back stock otherwise they will only **** you about for weeks and get you to pay for it back, cost me 25 quid, arseholes!

Okay so I got a droid3 that shut off when i used the slider so I was expecting a new droid3 and thought id take a chance bricking a phone i was gonna send back via fedex anyways.

I rooted the first phone and got titanium backup (free)

I couldn't freeze anything with the free version so I wanted to see if i could delete things I wasn't usually allowed to, BYE BYE BLOCKBUSTER

my new phone is here and I already used the old phone to find what apps i like n wahtnot

before I send the 1st phone back I am trying to put the blockbuster back.

I thought I could back it up with titaniumBU on the new phone and restore it on the 1st D3.... It doesn't seem to be working.

does anyone know how I can restore the blockbuster in the system, I can't even figure out what folder it's suppose to be in or I'd just copy and paste it (if that even works)

i got the back up so i can use the "petes motorola root" tool

where do i have to save this restore folder and do i just name the subfolder "subfolder" im so confused.

Make a folder called restore in the folder your root tools is in, and copy the contents of the dump's system/app directory into that folder

It will most probably brick your phone or at least just won't work, so you shouldn't do it. And no, there are no Kernels yet, since the GSM Kernel Sources aren't released by HTC yet, you should read the LeeDroid Thread in GSM board, I think he will be the first who will release a custom kernel

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclypse3demons:
Its just a generic tablet like an epad, iped, etc. Most likely its rootable as its using standard hardware. Most manufacturers selling these generics do not put any development into locking these down too much, they use a cookie cutter design and layout. They often do not even brand it.

You would end up going by the hardware FW to do any mods.

Hi all,

There's only one thing stopping me buying an s2 and that's the android issue with undeleting exchange messages. On standard android if you delete a message in you exchange inbox (android client) by mistake you cant move it back to your inbox (or do anything useful with it). Has samsung fixed this in their flavour of android? HTC did it by replacing the exchange client with a sense version but I have no way of knowing (my searches dont find the answer) if samsung has done the same in touchwiz.

Any help for this heavy exchange user would be more appreciated.

[Wildfire General] fireice7:
Currently I'm running CM7 stable and I'm having a few problems which are starting to annoy me.

1) The first is to do with making and receiving calls. I'm finding that all calls are dropped. Some are dropped straight away, others after a minute or two.

Does anyone know whats causing this, is it the ROM, kernel or radio? (or anything else :)) Has it been fixed in the nightly's?.

2) Another problem is sometimes when I turn mobile data on, the phone doesn't connect to the mobile internet even when in a full signal area. Once this happens, no amount of turning on and off mobile data solves the problem. The only way I found to solve this, is to switch to 2G only and then back to 2/3G and then it'll work. Again is this a problem that anyone else has experienced and has it been solved in the nightly's?

You really should have searched for this, but i'll extend a helping hand anyway.

You wont be able to access HBOOT; most probably because FASTBOOT is enabled.

Either disable fastboot, or (probably easiest) remove the battery, put it back in and then power up whilst holding volume down.

EDIT: You also won't have root or S-OFF - for that, you'll need Revolutionary.
