Let's not talk theoretically as we are not marketing agents but users. ;)

Practically Dual Core helps in reducing the time required to perform any task & can do more intensive tasks.

In real world scenarios very few apps have been designed to use two cores(forget about 4 cores), so you may not see much difference in their operation during daily use but it surely helps in keeping the system peppy, responsive & help in multi-tasking better. Games can surely make use of that extra core(s) if they are designed to make use of them which most of them are.

Talking about benchmarks they are just an indication of the device's capability but not by any measure can they indicate how responsive & smooth will the device be in daily usage.

You can try Linpack it'll show some difference in the scores of a dual core & single core devices.

Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
If the clock speeds are the same, then ideally dual core should be twice as fast, but realistically it is more like 1.7x faster. This is because a job needs to be broken down for the two separate cores and then reconstructed afterwards from twice as many pieces as from a single core. All this takes time.

Also if a software is being made with multiple cores in mind, then dual or quad doesn't matter. They can use as many cores as available. They don't make it specific to a x number of cores. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Maybe you got me wrong. :D

Tell me one app(no games as I already said that if they are optimized they can use all the cores available) which utilizes all four cores to perform any task ?

Find an answer to this question & you'll understand what I meant to say. :D

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Well buddy its not something I am asking for as it also uses GPU to render which is as good as playing games. :P
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
That's true, but if you run it on software decoding mode, it wouldn't use the graphics chipset.

Which is how I use it cause Tegra just sucks at handling compressed video files, but the 1GHz dual core is good enough. :p

(Q) nfc

does the sgr meets requirement of nfc? after a ics update will it get a nfc support or its a hardware thing which sgr lacks?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Sadly no. We won't be getting NFC through a software update. It needs a special antennae which the SGR lacks.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Galaxy S2 has the NFC transmitter antenna within the battery itself. Galaxy R doesn't have such a battery(hardware) so no chance of it getting NFC through a software update.

TBH NFC doesn't have much use in India as we can't use it for monetary transactions. Inclusion of NFC in handsets isn't wide spread so we can't use it for initiating data transfers even if we have it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Yes u right but atleast can use to transfer files and connect nfc speaker/headsets without pin codes or powering on bt.

all this for 26800 INR (~485 USD) :D

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
There's no limit by the Android system on how many apps you can keep open in the background but it's limited by what your hardware can handle i.e. Try to fill up that 1 Gig Ram & also on how long you want your battery to last. :p

about cache cleaner

Dear your suggestion did not work. as soon as i opened application manager from settings the phone hanged and had to be restarted. please suggest other solution.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Reboot your hanset phone into the recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume UP => Home => Power keys.

Then it'll boot into stock recovery. By using Volume Keys you can highlight the operation you want to perform & use Home button to enter / execute the command.

Now be extremely careful & think before you press the Home key. Select 'wipe cache' by using volume keys & press the 'Home Key' then reboot the handset.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi guys,

My phone soft keys(menu & back Buttons) have stopped working. They just don't respond on touching. Rest of the things on the phone are working fine. Does anyone has faced this issue? Will be waiting to hear from you guys. Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Did you let water come in contact with the touch screen ? Normally happens when it comes in contact with moisture / water.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
first of all clean ur screen with soft cloth and make sure it dont have any dirt, oil, wetness on it. same clean ur hand also and than try.

if u still facing problems try flashing stock rom and test that it works perfectly or not. if flashing stock fw wont solve ur issue than might be it could be digitizer related problem. u can claim in ssc for it and if ur phone is in warrant period they will fix it for free.

before giving it to ssc make sure u have stock rom with stock kernel and ur inary counter is zero and u dont see any yellow triangle with exclamation mark at start-up.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] hllby666:
I am on stock firmware and still keys are not working. I flashed all the Custom FW through CWM so the chances of getting a count on binary counter are less. There is no yellow triangle at start up.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
seems like u have hardware related issue better flash ur region stock fw and give phone in ssc, they will fix it ;)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
@'cooleagle': You wrote that if one flashes something with Odin, the binary counter gets incremented and this is very logical in view of Samsung. Well, I've flashed already numerous roms (only stock Sam ones) and CWM v4. The bootloader says that the counter is at 0. :D I understand that the loader says it is a "CUSTOM Binary Download Counter", but CWM is a custom recovery. So now I'm wondering whether this is only my luck or it didn't recognize CWM. :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
That's the funny & the best part with our handset. :D

In Galaxy R if you flash CWM via Odin the counter doesn't get increased but in S2 it does. But if you flash a rooted kernel / ROM with a rooted kernel via CWM / Odin then the counter will be incremented. After you have flashed CWM you can flash custom ROMs through it without increasing the count.

I think you can flash custom ROMs with stock kernel via CWM in Galaxy R & counter will not get incremented & you don't have to worry about voiding warranties or buying a USB jig to clear the counter.

But let's just enjoy while it lasts as we don't know how hard / easy it would be in ICS to clear the custom firmware counter when & if we get an ICS update.

USB jigs can't be used anymore to clear the counter in S2 with ICS bootloaders & they have to use the Triangle away app to clear it, that is what I know with my limited knowledge of S2 so I may be wrong.

BTW check your PM in a few mins. :)

Cheers !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
This is very interesting! I had thought that the counter was going to increase before flashing CWM with Odin and was surprised to see it didn't. I think it won't change with ICS. When I'll update, I'll definitely delete recovery.img from the tar file, preventing Odin to flash the stock recovery. With this modification I suppose it will not increase the counter and I will be able to use CWM without doing anything nasty in bootloader.

Hi,

Sometimes I forget to set my phone on silent. This is a bit of embarrassing when I have college. At my work and college I mostly connect to their wifi networks. So I was thinking of when I connect to these networks my phone goes automaticcaly to silentmode.

What I also could do is making a time schedule, but this is less convenient since my work schedule is not fixed.

If somebody has a really great app for this I would like to hear, because I tried some and they are not what I'm looking for :)

Thanks.
