FWAP FWAP FWAP at the highlighted bits. One thing Samsung is perfectly good at making is chips.

I think this might mean I'll give the Nexus Prime a miss and wait for the Galaxy S III. Probably jizz in my pants when I hold it.
[General Topics] nikzDHD:
Should be epic, loving the Samsung processors. iPhone5 should be feeling scared. Hopefully ICS will be a hit as well.

Let's see what Apple can do and whether it tempts away current galaxy users.

50% increase in 3D performance. Something to rival the A5 perhaps?

I hope they put this in the Galaxy Note.
[General Topics] Toss3:
The SGX 543mp2 is a lot faster than 50% compared to the Mali400. Really hoping for Kal-El in the SGS3.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Something to crash the A5 for sure.The Galaxy S II's Exynos 4210 rivals the A5. ;)

W-wa-wait.What?****in' ****.Where did you see this?Go check the Anandtech review.It shows the high-end mobile GPUs' performance in cold numbers and shows technical specs clearly.The 543MP2 might be 50% faster than the Adreno 220,not the Mali MP-400.
[General Topics] tjtj4444:
I believe this is a simple die shrink from 45 to 32nm. So it still has the Mali-400 GPU but clocked at 400MHz instead of 267MHz (i e 50% clock increase). The very subtle name change from Exynos 4210 to Exynos 4212 almost confirms this.
[General Topics] YOUCANNOTDENY:
Until the Mali-400 can compete with the SGX543MP2 in GLBenchmark at the same resolution, I'm going to wait for a Kal-El phone.
[General Topics] Toss3:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined/17

Check the GLBenchmark numbers again; the SGX 543mp2 is over 100% faster than the Mali mp-400.
[General Topics] YOUCANNOTDENY:
And it's driving over twice the resolution. The GPU in the iPhone 5 is going to blow away the competition, as it's at a lower resolution compared to the iPad 2. I'm actually kind of jealous. I refuse to use a device with a lower performing GPU than an Apple product! Hope the GPU in the Kal-El will actually be competitive.
[General Topics] Toss3:
No it is not; both were running the benchmarks at 1280x720. Kal-El is a lot faster than both the Mali MP-400 and SGX 543mp2 while having a lot more features let alone having five cores.

"GLBenchmark 2.1 now includes the ability to render the test offscreen at a resolution of 1280 x 720. This is not as desirable as being able to set custom resolutions since it's a bit too high for smartphones but it's better than nothing." Anandtech

EDIT: Apple might decide to cut back the A5 running inside the iPhone 5 to just one 543, or a lower clocked version, as having two doesn't really make any sense on a mobile phone at least when battery life is taken into consideration.
[General Topics] Spartoi:
This sounds plausible.

There is a developer tablet called ODROID-A that uses the Exynos 4210 SoC and it benches pretty well with an even higher resolution than the iPad 2 (1366x768 vs 1024x768).

Comparison for reference.

With a 50% increase, the Mali-400 (assuming they keep this GPU) will be comparable to the SGX-543MP2.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Well,for all I know,the CPU in the iPad 2 is larger(The chip itself is larger),which instantly translates in more transistors being placed in the same space.I can only suspect that same goes for the GPU.But even if it does not,it's most likely that the version in the iPhone 5/4s/whatever won't be the same.Will it be underclocked?Smaller?I don't know.

By the way,I personally believe manufacturers **** all over their tablets when they put phone SoC's in them.There should be a different,more powerful(albeit more power-hungry) variant of each SoC for tablets.But that's just me.

As for the iPhone part,don't mistake me as a hater(I hate it btw,but I won't flame it or anything.If it's better than what I have,I'll just admit it.It's not the hardware I hate).In fact I wish it's THAT powerful,so that the competition will drive performance up for everyone.And that,for us,is a win. ;)
[Desire General] spetke:
I'm trying to change the amon ra recovery to cwm5 but even though rom manager says that recovery is flashed succesfully the old amon ra still pops up when i reboot to recovery. I've also tried to flash cwm3 through amon ra and from amon ra reboot to recovery boots then to cwm3 but then after phone reboot amon ra is back. What gives?

Is it because the phone is still s-on? Are there any guides on how to get s-off on a 0.83 hboot and maybe cwm5 to work?

unrevoked seems to support only the newer 0.93 hboot.

Any help with this?
[Desire General] danarama:
Just download alpharev 1.8 and burn to cd and boot to it. Follow instructions. You need to have a rooted stock Froyo Rom installed

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
Hey, do you all know a way to charge the phone faster? maybe a kernel or something? It charges so slow and thats the only reason why i would return this phone. It's very annoying.

Solution: Get the charger in the pic below. it's amazing how much faster it charges and it charges the battery that is in the charger as well. 40 bucks.. def worth it. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Econ212:
I have noticed that when my phone battery is really low, if plugged into a usb port via charging cable that came with the phone, the phone still died. It does take a long time to charge though, is this due to the larger battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Qosmokid:
Charging really sucks

I noticed that yesterday more than ever. I was driving for many hours, and the whole time I had my phone plugged in. After a 13 hour day my phone would still not go above 15%. Granted I was using google maps and listening to podcasts on doggcatcher, but my evo never had a problem charging to 100% doing the same thing. Then I noticed the red notification light that turns on while charging was not even on. I turned off the phone removed the battery for a minute, then when I turned it back on and pugged it in the light came back on again. I hope I didnt just get a defective phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
It's samsung i think. the regular galaxy s phones charge slow too. smh very annoying. the battery has nothing to do with it because I had an extended batter 3200MAH that be charging father than this on the Nexus 1 (HTC).. htc has better changing capabilties
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
Only way to charge it faster is to turn the phone off when charging. This is not a phone where you can throw it in the charger for 30 minutes and expect a quick recharge to last you through the evening (like HTC or Motorola phones).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
USB can provide .5A. The phone, when pushed to the limit can draw more than that which may be why your phone was actually discharging.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

How long is long? 2-3 hours for a full charge is normal when on AC power, 4-6 when on USB.

This assumes your are not actively using the phone, aka no gaming, netflix, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
i actually think this thing charges fast compared to the evo 3d. Mine charges fully from dead in about 1 1/2 hours.

i use the charger brick from my ipod instead of the samsung one though. It may put out more juice then that jacked up samsung one. that thing stinks, plus causes screen issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrozB:
I ran in to this with my EVO when Running Bluetooth, Full Bright and GPS while in the car. I purchased a 2amp charger for the car and have not had the same issues since going to 2.0amp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
Well I have tried this twice, and saw that battery charged faster. (but that's just me... Have not really tested to prove it really makes a difference)

I installed battery calibration from market and did that full charge and unplugged 10x then let drain. When I charged the phone it did it in record time since I had the phone.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
The phone will only draw 450mA from a USB port. It can easily use more than that while running misc. tasks. You should only use a high Amperage charger when your battery is low (1A or higher) and limit USB cable use to when you're just transferring data or when you don't have another option.

Also the phone only uses 650mA MAX to charge the battery. The difference in what the 1A stock charger is able to provide should presumably allow you to run your phone at the same time without reducing the charging current. If this is true than a 1.5-2A charger would be ideal, allowing a fully dead battery to be charged in about 3 hours regardless of use.

BTW, this info is taken based on the work done with the i9100 sgs2. They currently have kernels that raise the charging rates to 550 and 750 respectively.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
Well we have someone a few post back that claims to charge battery from dead to full in 1 and 1/2 hours.

Mine takes at least 3 hrs to charge. My Nexus S takes 3 and 1/2 to 6 hrs.

I have use chargers ranging from .7a to 2a.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sterist:
these top-shelf phones tend to user more power than necessary for a lot of functions. first off, if you're rooted try lowering the max frequency with setcpu and / or change the governor to conservative, or (recommended) on-demand with the power-save bias to about 450-700 so it increases to say 800mhz instead of 1200 (or about 250-400 bias for standard usage).

if you use the navigator a lot, you can put it in airplane mode after about 5min of travel and out will cache the rest of your route. gps still works in airplane mode. if you're at work you could always use airplane mode between breaks.

also try setting your display mode to standard instead of dynamic (if not already) when you have no plans to use apps that beg to be eye-candy.

remove unnecessary bloat widgets like calendar, google search, and task manager shortcut (they run services) and kill background data as often as you can.

airplane mode and/or max 500 freq while charging.

if you're using zedomax OC kernel v1 2 or 3, reboot the phone before you leave it idle for extended periods of time because it seems to have trouble underclocking again, our update to the v4.1 beta kernel (or newer) available on downloadandroidrom.com

this post took 8% of my battery :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
What are the odds we will get SBC coded into our kernel's, or was/is this just a HTC thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimsonred36:
Mine works perfect. From about 15-20%, if I plug it in the wall, I'll get to full in about 1.5 hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moeinyoho:
wait how you do it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
There's an app 4 the Touch Pro2 called nueBattery2 that'd actually increase the draw from USB from .5mA to 1mA. Is this not possible 4 the E4GT?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
The phone has to think it's plugged into AC to ask for more than 450 mah.

I believe it checks this via shorted data cables of the USB cord. The stock charger shorts those cables so the phone knows it can draw more amps. Settings/about phone /status will show you if its drawing 450 (USB) or more (AC). Using a non-oem wall charger can result in (USB) charging instead of AC even if the charger says 1000mah. Using a pure charging USB cable with the data wires setup correctly, plugged into a computer can give you AC charge rate albeit no data connection to your computer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LouieGrandie:
+1 on this. Noticed that if I turn the phone off when charging it charges twice as fast.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] walord:
That is correct. I use a USB cigarette outlet adapter in my car and running navigation and playing music at the same time would kill the battery while charging... until i shorted the two middle pins in the adapter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
So, would this wrk w/ USB cables, & is there a way 2 still allow sync? Couldja post a pic or instructions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] parks1205:
Just did a charge from less than 5% left & was fully charged less than 2 hours. Using a EVO 3d charger but the samsung seems to take longer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
Seems like I have my answer from reading this thread, but I just wanna make sure -- I have a 2A charging block from my ipad, and I was wondering if it was safe to use with this phone, and if it would help charging. Seems like the answer is that it would be safe, and it wouldn't necessarily make charging faster (due to limitations of what the phone will draw from the charger) except in the case where I'm charging and using the phone at the same time. Is that all correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stepinmyworld:
Solution.

Get the charger in the pic below. it's amazing how much faster it charges and it charges the battery that is in the charger as well. 40 bucks.. def worth it. :)

For $10 more you can get this:

I wanna see someone come out with a $30 version :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
You could probably just short the data wires inside the USB cable itself, but your going to lose any syncing ability.

what are the specifications of the Evo's charger?

Its safe to use that charger, its rated at 2amps instead of the usual 1 but the phone is only going to get the power it asks for. Your only going to see an increase in charging if the data wires are shorted. I don't know if the iPad charger does that for you so you'll have to test it. Plug in your cable and see if the phone says its charging off AC power or USB. If it says AC your good, USB nope. If it says USB you could find a USB cord to gut and short the data wires yourself, then just use it as a fast charging cable when sync is not needed.

What are its specs?

I'll get one when China starts pumping them out for $15
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
So, I'd assume this means that my HTC AC blocks rated @ .2A're good 2 use, 2, yeah?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
At 0.2A you won't get much charging done
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
Ohhh. I c the mistake I'd made. I was lookin' @ "Input" not "Output"... ::whoops::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solidage:
So i've noticed that when I plug my Epic 4G touch into my PC it doesn't actually charge it. It says "CHARGING" but the battery still goes down.

I hope this is fixed...because apparently it's normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
read the thread lol

your charging at 450mah

however your probably using more than that on your phone which is causing it to decrease in battery overall
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatgenius:
I would definitely agree, it does seem to take a while for the phone to charge. Oh well I guess.

3.2 update continue

Ok so i unzip and put on external SD card - do the power-Volup button and it will update - will this totally undo my system - or will it simply update the tablet without any other changes.....never did manual update - but waiting for the lottery update of Acer is irritating.

Maybe after a bit i won't be so skittish but being Windows person you can understand.
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
The update will only update your system, you will lose root if you have it, and your files, configurations and apps remains intact.

Yes, you have to put the update.zip file in your external_sd and use Power Vol- to flash it.
[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
It will not wipe out your data, it will unroot you device. Everything else should (should) be intact. Always backup your data first anyway.

Go into Diagnosis(call ##634#) and enter *#0*# and press Compass near the bottom right of the screen.

There, you have a built-in compass app.

It seems this trick also works on NoDo, just that it's more jumpy whereas Mango is perfectly smooth.

If it doesn't work, you may need to re-calibrate your compass.

Refer to the video on how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o

I know it's an iPhone in the video, but just follow the same figure 8 motion with the compass activated. It should work after you do it.

UPDATE: For those on Mango, it is highly recommended that you uninstall your Diagnosis app and re-install it to get the latest version, Diagnosis_DU ver0628

There are reports that this does not work on HTC Devices. As of now, I can only confirm that it works on Samsung Omnia 7
