Don't worry bro, this is a discussion board for discussion. I am also enjoying the conversation. No worries. You have to read my posts bro, I already said almost everything in this post already. Lol. ;)

That is why I said CPU wise. I am well aware of the defincies of the S4's GPU. The GPU doesn't drive the OS the CPU does. GPU accelreation is is done for animations in the OS, not all third party apps. And you are right the GPU does play a role in overall performance, no doubt about it. But the Adreno is more than enough to take care of any and all GPU tasks with ease. GUI animations do not tax the GPU much at all. Now video is a different story. A good GPU is essential. And the Adreno 225 is up to the task as well. You are right though the GPU will play a role in overall performance. Just not as much as you think. Qualcomm rushed this chip out without the superior Adreno 320. Just overclocked a Adreno 220f and more memory bandwith and called it the Adreno 225. Mistake on their part in my opinion.

" In order to get the SoC out quickly, Qualcomm paired the two Krait cores in the 8960 with a tried and true GPU design: the Adreno 225."

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/3

Andatech gave a update on the article. The Mali numbers were off because fault in the software they were using. The Mali 400 cannot compare to the Adreno 225. But you are still right the Mali 608 will probably beat it no doubt. But not enough to have any outcome on the overall performance of the SOC. No amount of GPU power can make up the deficiency of a Cortex A9 based SOC compared to a Cortex A15 based SOC.

In the original version of this article we noticed some odd behavior on the part of the Mali-400 MP4 based Samsung Galaxy S 2. Initially we thought the ARM based GPU was simply faster than the Adreno 225 implementation in the MSM8960, however it turns out there was another factor at play. The original version of Basemark ES 2.0 V1 had anti-aliasing enabled and requested 4X MSAA from all devices that ran it. Some GPUs will run the test with AA disabled for various reasons (e.g. some don't technically support 4X MSAA), while others (Adreno family included) will run with it enabled. This resulted in the Adreno GPUs being unfairly penalized. We've since re-run all of the numbers with AA disabled and at WVGA (to avoid hitting vsync on many of the devices).

But it does not make up enough to overcome the generational gap in CPU performance of the Cortex A9 and the A15 based snapdragon.

if you are running third party apps, there is a good chance today that the app is not enabling hardware acceleration, so your comparison is doing CPU rendering on the Galaxy Nexus which means you almost certainly aren't going to get 60fps out of it, because it needs to hit 2.4x as many pixels as the S2 does.)

Here is the one X tegra vs the one Xl based S4.

http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-xl-benchmark-snapdragon-s4-tegra-3-67678/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DeathmonkeyGTX:
the cortex a15 in s4 is an outright lie. qualcomm always releases new arm designes later than everyone else because they customize the crap out of it. the s4 is two a9's that are souped up considerably with extra and better caches and such, adreno 225 gpu, and integrated radios with lte.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iamthedudeman:
Lol. Ok. First off no one said it was a Cortex A15. The snapdragon S4 is based on the A15 reference design and is a A15 level chip. Try reading the links I provided. Nothing in common with a Cortex A9. You have it backwards. It's 30% to 50% faster than a cortex A9 clock for clock, but it's a souped cortex A9. Lol. :rolleyes:

Here educate yourself:

"Instead, it designs its own cores in-house and simply licenses the ARM instruction set. At the most basic level, Qualcomm’s Krait core is more advanced than Cortex-A9, the current standard from ARM, and it may even best the next-generation Cortex-A15 core."

and this:

Qualcomm’s Krait core is more similar to the next generation Cortex-A15 than it is to Tegra’s A9

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4940/qualcomm-new-snapdragon-s4-msm8960-krait-architecture

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/2

http://www.extremetech.com/computin...ragon-s4-has-the-competition-on-the-defensive

It is a Cortex A15 level design. It is a custom design, based at its core on the Cortex A15 reference design. But it bears little resemblance to it. The Snapdragon S4 is a more complex design than even the A15. Let alone the Cortex A9. Get your facts straight boss. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Looks like it will be running a quad core exynos Cortex A9 clocked at 1.4Ghz. With the same Mali 400 if this video is to be believed. Same phone in the leaked photos. If that is the case the One XL will have the better hardware. The screen of the phone in the video is 320ppi compared to the One xl 316ppi. About the same. But will the Samsung be pentile Amoled?

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/galaxy-s-iii-leak/

With subtitles. Looks like a fake case on the phone. Should be slightly smaller once removed.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nativestranger:
The Adreno 225 is highly disappointing to most laymen because it is a straight up copy of the older architecture however 50% increase in clockspeed and a healthy doubling of memory means it running between 60% to nearly double of the already decent Adreno 220 in benchmarks. In terms of 3D its about 10% behind the the ULP in the tegra 3 but there is still nothing at the moment that can tax it. The Adreno 205 on my sensation xl is over 5 times slower yet has no problem running anything thrown at it including riptide GP, blood and glory and deadspace. I would love to have the Adreno 320 but at he moment 225 is more than good enough for everyday task.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
I'm glad you saw that, I was going to post it. But... The 4212 is 32nm so it'll benefit from a memory b/w boost just as the S4 did. And I don’t think anyone would argue that Mali 400 ran circles around Adreno 220. Almost all the benefit between Adreno 220<>225 was because of smaller die size, not design changes or improvement. The Mali 400 is also supposed to be OC'd. It's clear that what Samsung's releasing isn't a SGS3 but more a SGS2+. The missing link in a Teg3<>S4<>4212 comparison is battery life. So far, Teg3's a pig. It only wins the battery life competition at idle because of its 5th core but who wants a phone with the best standby time?

I read the link you posted about HOX Teg3 vs. S4. What I want to see is a single reviewer using the same environment testing both production models side-by-side. Everything so far has been patched together. It may not change the outcome but it certainly makes for a more legitimate comparison.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iamthedudeman:
We should see that in the next few weeks. Within a month we will also see the Galaxy S3 and One X benched against each other. Should be interesting to say the least.

You hit the nail on the head with the battery life as being most important. The SOC's in these phones is over kill. Will you see a better experience with a Tegra 3 over a Exynos 4212 or S4? Probably not. We will see.

The most important factor is which one provides the best battery life. If your battery is dead you cant use your phone. I was still kind of suprised that Samsung did not go with a better GPU. The 4S still has the best GPU on a smartphone right now. The Adreno 225 is close and we shall see on the improved mali 400.

But spec wise the One XL seems for now if the video and Galaxy specs are for real, the smartphone to beat so far in 2012 in the Android world. Which is a good thing for us. :)

Only 16gb on such an awesome phone is ridiculous, and please dont come to me with that "oh but dropbox" crap, eventually it expires and not everyone has the data to be streaming music and syncing stuff all the time, not to mention streaming is meh compared to playing the files locally.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Oridus:
i beg to differ - the bitrates for streaming content have improved greatly. I am at work right now and am testing tune-in radio and local music files - and they both sound the same (granted I am using the HTC One XL at&t and beats by dre solo HD).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] solidkevin:
Even then I only have the 2gb plan and if Its gonna be constantly syncing stuff and im listening to music through streaming, its gonna eat it up quick, lets not even discuss when I go on a vacation or something....:mad:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] solidkevin:
So after thinking about it and doing some research, I think I'll go with the att one x, I uploaded my entire library to google music and the whole pin-unpin feature is so cool! As far as documents Im using google drive, very impressed! I will still miss the 32gb from iphone but the one x is SO awesome overall.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
I have a problem with my mp3's on my harddisk, or rather, the problem occurs when I try to copy them to my phone (on the sd-card if that matters). My cd's are ripped and for each cd, the is a .pls file indicating the order of the files (the files are not prefixed 01, 02, etc.).

My problem is that I have found no player on android (S2) that can use my .pls files (they are just text files with 1 file on each row, relative path) and the .pls file is placed in the same folder as the mp3 files. Then each cd has their own folder.

I have tried winamp, poweramp, builtin prog, video players and more. No program can understand the contents of my .pls files, but many do accept .pls files. How must the files be built in order to work? (format)

I have also tried with .m3u files and .m3u8 files, but it is the same story as with .pls.

I am at a loss. How do I transfer playlists from my pc (.pls or .m3u) to android?

Also, why is it that winamp cannot even see my mp3 files? Is it because I place them om the SD-card? It only finds a couple provided by Samsung.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allegro43:
You might give AudioPlayer a try.

- free version has ads, but runs ok without internet connection

- available on SlideME (direct download apk file, no google account needed:)) or Market

I tried AudioPlayer 1.10 on Android 2.3.6 (Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2). It will read m3u playlists with relative paths, whether opened directly in player or passed from file manager.

Playlist editing is limited. You can't view the list or reorder items, but you can remove the current item. Saving a changed list seems buggy. When I saved right away in the directory that comes up, I got relative paths. But when I back out some levels and come back to that same directory and save, then I get absolute paths that begin "../../../../../../../../sdcard". So it seems like it works best if you already have your playlists made.

I also tried renaming the m3u list to .pls (and added .pls as a playlist extension in player settings). This .pls list worked if the player opened it directly, but not if I went through the file manager.

For now, I'm keeping it as one of my installed players. It is simple to use. I like it for what it does. It has multiple seek buttons (you can set the time interval) which are handy for navigating long sound files. And it opens the now obscure RealAudio format for me, once I added .rm .ram file extensions in the settings (though this decoding might be dependent on hardware).

[HTC EVO 3D] Airo18:
Thank's, guess that could be why it dont work
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya something weird about hboot 1.5 S-ON causing a issue were you can't flash it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Airo18:
I hope we get s-off soon
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
????? In dev section man
[HTC EVO 3D] Airo18:
What in dev section?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
S-off is done, instructions in the dev section, and hboot 1.5 has nothing to do with splash screens, the s-on keeps the phone from flashing splash screens.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
a few things to the OP...

your hboot has nothing to do with the ability to flash splash screens. your NAND internal mem has to be unlocked in order to do it (s-off). hboot 1.5 can be s-off if you were on 1.4 s-off and upgraded your hboot.

just FYI
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachase42:
I reverted to 2.2 last night and installed Cyanogen 7.1. When I go to tether my phone to my ipad, I get a redirect from t mobile asking me to sign up for a data plan. I was getting this message before, which is what drove me to rooting this device as I had kept it stock up until then.

After a bit of searching all morning I haven't found any solutions aside from giving them 15 bucks every month. Do I have any alternatives? I've tried using other tethering tools such as Barnacle and Wireless tethering for root users to no avail.

Thanks,

Use barnacle wifi tether and have never had any problems
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
I have never touched any root settings nor using any third party apps yet I have never gotten that either.

ROMs that I used:

stock GB (c.a May 2011- Jan 2012)

Icecream JIBwich 1.2, 1.3, 2.0 (c.a Jan 2012-April 2012)

Adromadus Audacity Beta 2.0 (now)

Sorry I can't help with Cyanogen 7, but if you flashed AAB2, you could both enjoy ICS and simple tethering solution :D

As far as usability of AAB2 in concern, AAB2 doesn't have a properly working camcorder, have no FM and have a few glitches but is rather more sufficient for daily use.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hasanz87:
hello, my galaxy mini is having very low incall mic volume, the person on the other side can only barely hear me and often times i end up talking very loudly...but if i talk through the headset then there is no listening problems for the other person.

may be there is some hidden setting that needs to be tweaked?

i have a rooted s5570 with stock rom and GB 2.3.4
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Soldier_Rocks_08:
Unroot your phone if you have insurance take it to your authorized repair center..what happened is there is a piece of mesh screen that slides down and covers the mic two hours and your phone will be good as it was before happened to me on my epic.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hasanz87:
Can't I solve the prob my self? My mobile is not under insurance or warranty.

I did open up my set and saw the mesh u r talking abt, tell me wat needs to b done n ill try it

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Soldier_Rocks_08:
Move the mesh so that the thin piece of mesh is over your mic part and that should solve your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hasanz87:
By mic part u mean the mic hole on the rim of the body or the golden chip-like thing on the inside?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Soldier_Rocks_08:
What ever one is on the outside that you talk in to.
