does this not look exactly the same as the exhibit II 4g? http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Samsung_Galaxy_W_4G

Also my cells model is "SGH-T679M".... hmm.... weird huh? stupid bell stealing pples ideas lol, our phones are the exact same in every dimension, 1.0 ghz cpu, the ram, 3.0 mp camera, etc, the same, just bell deceives people by calling it the galaxy w :(

On path to official CM Rom?

Please excuse a noob post.

I have used CM7 on an older device and it gave it new life. Loved it! I am very appreciative of those who put in the effort to make the ROM.

I recently "upgraded" to a Exhibit II 4G and am horrified at the frequent spontaneous reboots (especially when using navigation). I am still within the period where I can return the phone.

My question is this

: Is the CM9 ROM for this phone on the path to becoming an official CM9 ROM?

If so, then I can confidently keep the phone. If not, I may have to cut my losses with this phone.

Thanks to all who develop and contribute here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I won't speculate on the future. There are absolutely no guarantees that this cm9 beta will ever progress from where it is right now. Please make any decisions based on your phone as it exists today, and this rom as it exists today.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] interessant:
There is so much misinformation regarding the Bell Galaxy W online, that even phone news sites are getting it wrong.

The devices are pretty much exactly the same, down to every spec. There is no technical spec difference between Exhibit II and Bell Galaxy W ( from what i've reviewed so far. )

Bell has confused every other phone news site out there that get their spec info from marketing name (ie galaxy w), as opposed to model number specs provided by samsung and switched it with the typical galaxy w i81xx device.

Yes the cpu hardware board for the SGH-T679/M ( for exhibit/bell galaxy w) is gt-i8150, but the phone is not the same as the higher cpu Galaxy W i8150 out there.

This phone works perfectly well across all canadian 3g provides, both AWS and non-AWS. It's pretty much like a nokia pentaband, without being a pentaband in canada!

well, 1st problem, when i use the phone, like headphones, its doing a play stop play stop, then it may play for a bit fine then stop then play, almost as if its buffering, and when i go to home screen and pull down th e top bar to see whats on, its like the app is open and closing kinda thing, it pops up and shows the stop, or change song buttons, or it disapears, it may somewhat randomly output to speaker on phone,

i checked my jack it seems to be good, its nto like if i wiggle it a bit some certain way it does it, its not the cord, does it on headphones and pluggin into vehicle stereo...,

if i dont have anything plugged in, and it comes outta speaker fine, but then plug in headphones or something into the jack and it does the play stop play stop, almost as if its buffering, weird... any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfroehlich:
If you're getting spontaneous reboots on the stock ROM you probably need a warranty replacement. That has almost never happened me, never on stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] cmikeh2:
For the confusion between this and the International Galaxy W and the Bell Galaxy W, all of the specs are the same minus the camera and supported bands. In relation to the CPU, all models have the MSM8255 processor, but for some reason Samsung decided to clock ours and Bell's at a lower speed than the international version. Personally, this makes no sense to me because the 1.4 GHz is seen on most uses of this processor ( Lumia 800/900, Focus S, it's even at 1.5 GHz in both Titan models).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry, I can't reproduce this, and afaik, it's not been reported before.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Octanee:
yeah im not sure, its fine 100% when i turn down the volume, to about 3/4 and its fine, but if i turn it up to like anything more then that it starts go stop go stop crap like buffering, so atleast i know the fix to that, i also have the DSP stuff on, like extra bass, and stuff, so not sure if it could be that, or what, but who knows, nice rom either way :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
It sounds like the CPU is throttling like it would when exceeding its TDP. I don't even know if the Snapdragon processor has the ability to throttle like a desktop CPU. The audio amp may share a heatsink with the CPU.

Just for curiosity's sake what kind of headphones are you driving?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wilson pickett:
no two processors are the same.

even cpu's cut from the same wafer differ in their clocking abilities.

i suspect(i didn't bother to check first)that the cpu's in the tmobile exhibit 2,were lower performer's,

clock speeds reduced,and sold at a discount.for the manufacturer it makes more sense than just throwing them away.

back in the day a pentium processor that didn't make the grade,had two bridges cut,and was rebadged as a celeron.

you could take electrical conductive paint,reconnect the two cuts,and have a pentium at a celeron price.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mahendra1020:
Actually this happens with the stock rom when we listen music via headphone jack. It happened to me in CM9 as well long time back. I usually keep the volume to 3/4 so i dont if it still happens. I believe once Surgerush reported way back here

I dont think its a rom issue, because it happens in stock as well. May be somehow hardware part of the phone is causing this throttle.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Octanee:
well, its only playing music it seems, ive also downloaded a different music player, same thing, if i use the sirius app, for listening to the satelite radio, i can put it up to 100% and its fine, its only music stuff so far

This is a MOD not a ROM. This will theoretically work on any phone, including Exhibit II 4G. However, the Beats Audio mod wont do much for a phone without the Beats Audio Hardware. And anything it could do, "DSP Manager" can do as well. And "DSP Manager" comes with most ROMS. No real need for this.

Thought I would also take this time to ask how the petition for camera drivers is coming along?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mazeeff:
I have been playing around with "DSP Manager" for a couple of weeks, and I am not convinced that it is working. I have tested Pandora and Poweramp, with a set of Skull Candy ear buds, as well as a Bose 2.1 speaker system. I have tried most of the options in DSP Manager, and can not notice any perceivable change. On the other hand, the equalizer and effects built in to Poweramp work quite well.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ninjames:
It should work with any phone, but Beats Audio is a gimmick. It's not even a balance EQ, all it does is bloat the bass. It's a placebo.

There is no Beats Audio "hardware" outside of the actual headphones and earbuds, which are terrible. There is nothing internal built in for the Beats. It's the same terrible speakers that all phones have, they just bloat the bass and ruin it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mazeeff:
According to the following link. DSP Manager may not work with the latest version of CM9 ICS. We are running DSP Manager version 2.0, but it is not clear what version these folks recently released. The GUI looks different, so maybe it is a newer version! I removed the 2.0 version with TB Pro, and tried to install the APK that is in the thread, but got an error during the install. May have something to do with it being a system app. I am rooted.

Not good only 47 signatures don't thank qualcomm will do anything. I mean compare it to the 4000 for the other drivers. with that said i don't think we will see those drivers unless there is a official release and i don't think we will see that. but not all hope is lost i am working on it it is a slow process. i am studying the work of others on here like twistedumbrella he got the cameras working on htc devices before there was drivers for them as well. i am also working on using ones from another device.

Official ROM question

These questions are for anyone:

1) It seems the general consensus that the exhibit 2 4G won't be officially supported. Who decides and on what basis? (popularity of phone and sufficient hardware performance)

2) Why isn't this ROM listed here on the page of unofficially supported ports? wiki cyanogenmod com/wiki/Unofficial_Ports (I am not yet allow to post URLs. replace the "spaces" with "." and copy in your browser.

Thank you.

Samsung Exhibit II dissassembled

I was able to disassemble my Exhibit II today, by following these two forum threads;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579806

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472623

These are both for the "W" model, but from a mechanical perspective it appears to match the Exhibit II. My son had smashed the display on his Exhibit II, and I purchased a parts phone on eBay that had a bad IMEI. My goal was to swap the processor boards, and end up with a good phone. It worked like a charm, and was quite easy to do. From a CM9 perspective, is there any value in getting a part number from the camera's, or any other part numbers, etc?

Here are a couple of pictures of my Samsung Exhibit II tear down. Overall, the job was quite easy, and much easier than working on a Iphone 3GS (previous phone). My Procedure.

1. Follow this link to see how to remove the end cap, which reveals two hidden screws. This cap is held in by three tiny clips, and a little rubber epoxy. Use a plastic case tool to work it off. Be careful when prying this cover off. It is thin, and can bend easily.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579806

2. Grab the "W" service manual at this link, and follow the graphic procedures on further tear down. The only thing that had me a bit confused was the backup battery. It is connected through a odd power connector. You can see this in one of my pictures. I found it easier to pry out the battery from the plastic holder that it sits in. The bottom of the battery has the same rubber epoxy as the cover, and it takes a little effort to break it loose.
