It's like putting two engines in your car. It has the *potential* to go really fast, but unless your car is built to use two engines, it's not going to make any difference. Not the best example, I know. But it's simple. :P

As per the OP, we just don't have compatible LTE/Tegra3 combinations yet. Very bluntly, our LTE stuff sucks. (Which is why Apple passed on it with the 4S) Eventually, there will be an LTE modem that works with a quad-core chip, it's just not there right now. Like everyone else has said, in real world performance, you won't notice it anyway.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Nvidia is working on a Tegra 3 chipset with LTE built in I think I read.

Regardless, S4 is still a beast of a chip.
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
im glad the htc one isn't coming to verizon. it's stuff like this that makes our rezound outdated way before it's time. no one really "needs" a quad in a cell phone and im glad there isn't alot of quad core devices coming this year. both ces & mobile world congress were a big disappointment as far as im concerned.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
IMO, the S4 dual core is an awesome chip. I am very skeptical about quad core battery performance. Due to technical advancements maybe they are superior. We will see soon enough.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
still no good with limited. if you're not doing heavy multithreaded work you won't see much difference plus 4 cores means more battery consumption vs dual
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Tegra = fail. The market is doing a good job with over hyping dual core and quad core. Some people think it's almost necessary to have dual/quad socs , when other platforms like w7 run just fine on a single core.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
isn't the second core on resound usually asleep a lot of the time unless needed? now you can have 3 cores taking a nap :)
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
lol.
[HTC Rezound] R187J:
most dual core phones only use the second core as a back-up or for HDMI only

thus making it pointless to have quad-core phones at the moment i ran everything just fine on my Thunderbolt which was single core and it out performed my stock rezound.. and yes quad core i presume would be a battery drainer cuz dual cores don't really even have that good of battery life and single cores r the same

and snapdragon has quadcores already and they r in the midst of working on 8core chipsets but that wont be out till late 2013 early mid 2014 so stick with what u have

all good things take time

:))
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Comparing The Tegra 3 and the Snapdragon S4 is like comparing the AMD Bulldozer chips with the current Intel chips. They put more cores on a die and call it "The Fastest" but when the benchmarks start showing up it falls short of a lower end, more efficient chips. In theory more cores = more power, but in reality architectural is everything. All the hype from people being like "MOAR COREZ OMG FASTER" is a bunch of bull...
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
CES and MWC are just teasers anyways. Did you see the Rezound, Nexus, Razr, Razr Maxx, Transformer Prime, Galaxy Note, etc at those events last year? Nope, you saw the Bionic which 7 months later was a disastrophy, lol.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Did veruzon say they weren't getting the one x? I know there is a new verizon htc phone on the road map.

I'm curious about the snapdragon s4 just because it has lte integrated.
[HTC Rezound] Ndaoud360:
Well the One X has the same processor as my laptop 1.5 gh quad core. The only thing I think my computer really needs the quad cores for is intense games especially my wii emulator, which probably could run on One X since it has the same processor as my computer.
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
It's also pretty dependent on the GPU. Not sure what kind of graphics card your laptop has, but that has a pretty substantial effect on gaming.

The One X has a great dedicated GPU, but it's still a phone. Not sure if it can really match up to an actual computer's graphics card, but I've been wrong before. :P
[HTC Rezound] engsoccerfan:
Exactly. I'm not saying it's necessary, but it does offer a theoretical advantage. Moreover, to say there aren't going to be heavily threaded apps on phones is slightly deterministic. 7 years ago, I didn't think they'd have dual core phones and flash on browsers was like the Holy Grail. Things change. Regardless, rather than trying to put in multi-core processors on phones, companies should be trying to resolve battery issues. Performance has outstripped batteries and there needs to be advancement on that front.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
With screens like these and plus 4G data, a 2000mAh should be the MINIMUM battery size.
[HTC Rezound] Skizzy034:
Thanks for all the replies. Is nice to get different opinions
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I had such high hopes too for the bulldozer. Now I just refer to it fondly as the Faildozer.
[HTC Rezound] jimbo.levy:
I'm so glad this was pointed out. I'd take the DC over the Tegra 3 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
My Amaze 4g is rooted and rom'd etc.

A couple days ago the screen died. Like, it did something kinda of weird (flashed some grayish type colors) and then turned off. The phone still works etc but the screen is dead.

So, I can get a replacement phone but it is rooted and sending it back is too risky.

Is there anyway that I can restore my phone without having to see the screen?

Or, has anyone heard of this happening etc?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
You'll have to boot into fastboot and relock the bootloader. It might be a bit difficult to do so without actually being able to see what the screen should be showing, but overall it's a two step process: relock bootloader, load and flash stock RUU
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
So can you walk me through it? Lol, since I can't see the screen? Like, can you just direct me on what buttons to push.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
do you have it insured? Maybe you might lose it tonight?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
What i suggest is watch a youtube video on how to relock it and hwo to flash stock RUU adn get the timing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
Lol, it is actually my girls and they have already sent her a replacement. I just don't wanna send the broken screen one back yet (for obvious reasons)
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
You might as well just send it back because even if u figure out a way to relock it, it will say "relocked" therefore either way they will kno u unlocked it. But that shouldnt matter because the screen going dead is most likely a hardware issue which if it is it should still be covered by the warranty whether u unlocked it or not :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
I thought that unlocked it voided the warranty all together
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Nope... Only software issues
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
No it only says it "may" void ur warranty.. so as long as the problem wasnt caused by you changing the software, like flashing roms and soforth, then they should still honor the warranty. And to me it sounds like a hardware issue so u should be fine.

[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
I think you should at least try and flash it to stock if not to just erase any personal info. Good luck
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
Yeah I am gonna still try. Just gotta getting the timing and button pushing down haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Are you sure it's not just the backlight that's out? If it is, you can just grab a really bright flashlight and shine it at an angle, and you might, possibly, be able to see your screen. It will be faint but it might be enough to help you relock it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Just crack the screen, tmo will charge you 50 bucks extra if the screen is cracked. At least this is what they told me when I had to get a replacement for my wife's phone.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Ohleo:
Hmmm I will try the flashlight trick
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I know quite a few people who returned their phone back to tmobile and were fine and they had the same type of issue you had.

Shouldn't be a problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
my cousin returned his Amaze 4G to a Wind MObile with Bulletproof 2.5.0 *he fked up his charging port* and they replaced the amaze with unlocked bootloader and runnign custom FW :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Lol they probably just fixed the charging port and sent back the same one which is y it was still unlocked.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
Hi all,

I was thinking it might be useful to put info. here on this, rather than 5 different threads. There are quite a few of us on the previous firmware and want to update but want root and perhaps don't want to try that over-the-air (OTA) trick to keep root.

Does anyone know are there any successful rooting tricks, or is it just OTA?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
OTA isn't a big trick, just updating the firmware over the phone's internet(WiFi or 3G).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RePlaYing:
Any rumors about directly rooting .62 soon?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jokamaciek:
I cannot update via OTA because I have recovery and I don't want to remove it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
I just ran through all the Sony Ericsson forums and found no real advancement...the Arc section they are using .ftf files PRErooted ...that's a nice advancement. I still look forward to the next easy method though. When I bought my first SE Android-version phone in 2010 it was exactly like this, it takes some time for the newer official firmware to be rooted, so I'm relaxed about it.
[Defy General] warzinak:
So ive been using Miui for the Defy for few months now and ive noticed that at my parents house the Wifi works fine...but when i come home it connects to Wifi nand works but only for a few seconds and then stops doing anything...for example stops at around 3% in a download.....and no more Data passes through or cant surf net or anything.....but it still says im connected to the wifi. have to then switch of Wifi and turn it back on...or just use 3g...my girlfriends ZTE Blade connects to Wifi fine here and has no problem downloading and it never cuts off...

is this the problem that i have?

EDIT: ok i figured out i had to mount the file first...

so ive changed it from 1 to 0 and rebooting...so lets see if it did anything...

This is happening because you don't have installed USB FLASH driver for your phone..Try with this..Find in folder where you installed Flashtool, folder named "Drivers", and install drivers "X10" something, and "Flashmode" drivers..after you do that, connect your phone in flash mode (turn off phone, press "back" button and plug in your phone)..It should recognize USB flash driver..So after that's recognized..you can do whatever you want in flashtool.

Just be sure if you do RELOCKING your BL, follow all of the procedures provided in thread for RELOCKING..

And I think that you shouldn't have custom kernel if you do that :D..

This phone is not bricked..Just do what I said..

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grea09:
I tried almost all topic of this forum that explain that. I followed them carefully, but it seems I've got a problem that is explained now where.

The phone just comes from the Sony Ericson repair center. They changed the mother board. Maybe related with this issue. I've first easily (hum, hum drivers) rooted it and put the recovery. I tried to install a CM7 ROM themed like ICS (I can't refind it, maybee later) and in doing so I tried to flash a Kernel. It just said we have to unlock bootloader so it's what I tried, but I've got this error. Now I just try to fiw the phone to have a second attempt at this.

In your link I've done the folowing :

lanch flashtool

click flash button

selected Reblock

put the device in flashmode

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vignan:
its not BRICKED even i've faced this

you need to have this x10_2.3_aro.ftf .. which is the normal unrooted x10 rom given by sony at the phones manufacture.

requirements:

adb drivers installed

x10_2.3_aro.ftf

latest version of Flashtool

CAUTION

: by following these steps you will lose all your phone information.. so you always need to have some backup

if the same problems persists at the time when you switch ON your phone ... follow these steps

1: make sure that you are not lagging by battery

2: remove the battery and connect the mobile via USB

3: run the flash tool which is already installed on your PC

4: Flash it with the downloaded file (i.e x10_2.3_aro.ftf)

5: when the flash tool says to connect your phone in flash mode then press back button and put on the battery and keep the back button pressed for a while

6: if the phone is connected in flash mode, well and good- then the 2.3.3 will be installed on your phone

7: if it is not connected in flash mode then repeat the 5th step ... you will surely get into the flash mode

8: after the flashing completes then you can again root the phone from the available option in flashtool and also install the xrecovery and unlock your boot loader

any problem regarding x10 booting can be brought to the happy mood by making these steps but you need to have a backup of your phone data :) :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Ok, so I bought my Prime on 2/27 from Best Buy. I was very lucky because you can't find these things anywhere where I live and they seem to be sold out online in a lot of places as well. I got even more lucky because it was the only one in stock and was an open box item, so I got it for $50 bucks less.

Issues:

Of course the WiFi seems pretty crap weak, but it works good enough in my house.

I have 1 dead pixel, not really noticeable but still bugs me because I know its there.

Slight bit of screen bleed, but this might be impossible to get away from...

I have until Monday (14 days) to decide if I want to return it or not. I really do like it a lot. I am just questioning whether the Tegra 3 will be strong enough for the long haul and if there will be a fix for the WiFi anytime soon.

What would you do? Hold onto it, because it is a pretty great tablet? Or return it and hold out for a little bit for something better around the corner?

Thanks!

Yeah good point. I am just wondering if I bought at the point that the price might drop in a few weeks anyway because something better is coming.

Also, since the screen has just ONE bad pixel, I can't imagine that in the future, if I send it in for a WiFi fix that they would do anything about the screen would they?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
In my experience with several primes that the wifi thing is not on all of them. I've had a unit with a weaker wifi than another. My current one is good. I've also seen some with semi working gps (still doesnt work when driving). Also seen some with different variation in screen (warmer vs cooler). Also seen some with more light bleed than others. So if you really like the prime I'd say return it and get another one if you can find one somewhere else.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Yeah my WiFi definitely doesn't seem as bad as some people are complaining about. And my GPS can actually give my location when I am inside the house, so that is good too. I honestly don't care about the GPS. I will never need it for Navigation or anything, my phone does that just fine. I am mostly concerned about the WiFi (which apparently isn't that bad) and the screen. It seems like Asus has some pretty excellent support after reading some of Gary Key's posts, they should have a WiFi fix in soon and if I voice my concern I am sure that they will help me out. I am really leaning towards keeping it now...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
I would not expect the prime to drop price anytime in 2012 personally. Asus has already divulged their pricing scheme for the tf300 and infinity and the prime has its correct spot right in the middle. Current prices will hold through holiday 2012 mark my words.

If you like it keep it, if not return and wait for the next thing. There will always be something better coming with tech products. Only way to enjoy them is to choose what you want and jump in on that device and enjoy it unethical until it can no longer do what you obtained it for.

Personally I love my prime and nothing I see coming in 2012 entices me enough to even entertain the thought of selling or replacing it. I am confident it will be more than enough for me for at least a full year and probably 2.
