I'm seeing more and more comparison between S4 vs Tegra3 in One X

It clearly shows that Tegra3 is far far ahead of S4 in CPU benches

Don't forget that tegra3 is currently utilizing single channel 32bit DDR2 memory channel system wide whereas even the last gen A9 dual cores are all utilizing dual channel 32bit DDR2 memory channels

Unless things are different than way they were in the current Exynos, it should be a pretty big margin compared to either setup

Almost nine hours on their video test at 50% brightness. If the GS3 can best that and be butter smooth with an equally gorgeous screen I honestly don't give a crap what number is attached to the cpu.
[Galaxy S III General] utjock12:
^^^^What you just said. No idea what variant will end up on T-mobile, exynos or snapdragon, but it should be plenty good enough. Dual core concerns look pretty silly according to those benchmarks.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
This year is going to be determined by battery life, and if the s4 delivers while providing the performance there's no reason to complain. However, if the exynos does better in terms of battery life and performance you can commence with complaining or buy the international version.
[Galaxy S III General] prodigiez:
i heard that too ..and tahts because exynos chips does not support LTE and samsung haven produce any LTE chips atm.. just like s2 and s2 lte..s2 lte is running on snapdragon ,adreno 220 with LTE...and s2 is exynos without LTE
[Galaxy S III General] scuzzbag87:
I don't care what u people say the A9 quad core exynos will some how destroy the s4 guaranteed it's freaking Samsung u can't touch them they know how to make powerful chips (best in class in my opinion). I have faith they won't disappoint and it will be the smart phone of the year
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
we've kinda reached the point were we have enough performance, so for me it's taking a back seat. What we should be looking at is battery life. The best soc, imo, will be the one with the best battery life. so far we know the s4 trumps the t3. if the s4 beats the exynos in battery life, then i think we have our winner.

of course if the battery life gains are marginal then the exynos wins
[Galaxy S III General] scuzzbag87:
I don't care about battery life like everyone else I want ultimate performance. A 3 pack of fake batteries on Ebay for 12$ solves that problem
[Galaxy S III General] rarsi123:
I previously had a galaxy s2 from launch and now have the htc one x, tegra version.

I have to say, the one x is very quick, but not appreciably quicker than the s2 (and neither was my transformer prime when i had it).

I have my doubts the last two cores even fire up for long, so im certain the s4 version of one x would be much better. Using one of the apps (system panel?) the last two cores rarely show anything over 0%. People who have reviewed both X's have either said you can barely tell the difference in performance, or they felt the s4 version was slightly better.

Also its worth noting that while the s2 had the best GPU, most games looked better on tegra 2. shadowgun, gta etc. Chainfire apparently fixed a lot of these issues if you were willing to root, and using the tegra 2 assets fixed GTA, but at launch games like dungeon defenders didnt even work for the first three months. Even if the GPU in the s3 is the best, i doubt it wil look any beter than on s4 - there will not be a single game in the next year that will max out the s4. You could say the same last year, but last year, while all the main gpus could handle the games well, some started struggling when resolution was bumped to 720p like the nexus. The main GPU's this year all handle 720p just fine.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
not sure what the extra performance would be for... if the ui, games, etc. runs perfectly smoothly for the next two years this phone is on contract then i'm fine. personally i like having one reliable battery that i don't have to touch then three backups i have to keep carrying around, i like it light
[Galaxy S III General] ky0nkyon:
Do you think the shortage of s4 chips well throw a kink in this debate of exynos vs krait coming to the US? Or will we just get it late again?
[Galaxy S III General] Que1999:
+1
[Galaxy S III General] JCM99:
not too worried about only having dual core. they seem to run plenty fast the way they are now so it isn't the end of the world
[Galaxy S III General] tbong777:
Yeah me too. No more USA Variants since the Captivate. Not paying $800+ for two years of 3G+ Carrier Data No LTE here until late 2013 and I don't need those speeds.
[Galaxy S III General] Entropy512:
Why are people blathering on about Tegra3?

Just because the Krait spanks the S3 says nothing about how it'll compare to the 4412.

Nvidia is notorious for being first to bump up the core count while also delivering poor performance-per-core - especially since it's not just about the CPU, but about the peripherals on the chip too (such as hwaccel video). For most workloads, even Samsung's old Hummingbird could spank the Tegra2 as an example. Yeah, the Tegra2 did great on some benchmarks, but if you actually USED your device - a Hummingbird-based device was more responsive, and if you wanted to watch H.264 video - no contest, Samsung's MFC smoked whatever Tegra2 had and I expect that to continue.

That said, Exynos 4210 is good enough now for most uses.

Qualcomm-based GSIIIs will suck, and it has nothing to do with the actual CPU performance and everything to do with the fact that they'll be niche devices with inferior software support. THAT is why if I get this (probably not, doesn't offer enough over the Note to be worth it), I'll be going international.

Samsung should get wise and sell unlocked devices in the US WITH US warranty support - combine that with Straight Talk's BYOD SIM plans and they can finally start getting control away from carriers.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] digitalx788:
I have been going through some of the roms but many of them do not support the native radio app that comes with the ace.

What are some of the some of the latest roms that support radio and not Bluetooth ( not even sure how this works)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheArt.:
Cheetah 2.0 supports both radio and bluetooth
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jumbobombo:
Almost Every rom supports it... There's the. Blootooth and the volume bug though sometimes... All you gotta do is put the fm radio apk in system/app

It'll work :)

----------------

Did I send this :O
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ledd988:
If you want FM radio then any rom based on stock (i recommend 2.3.6. based roms) is best choice.

For CyanogenMod roms try using Spirit FM Radio from Google play.

You need some tweaking to get Spirit FM working ok but that is only choice for CM roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] digitalx788:
Thanks for the suggestions. I guest I will have to settle for the myth ICS rom since works fine .. this for me is a big setback I am only able to try out some CM9 roms but radio is essential to me.But I just I can't do better than 2.3:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radutoiugeorge:
I'm running a cf-root, SG SII with KL1 kernel and cyanogenmod 7. Before getting it done the way it is now, I went through several failed attempts. I'm afraid the first few times I installed the wrong kernel because the blue progressbar didn't appear, the phone rebooted and then the screen gradually lit up, showing pixels of different colours scattered all over, like a sort of gradient. It was very frightening, therefore I ask: has the "pixels" thing done any damage to my phone, in any way? Have the wireless/gsm antennas been affected by this incident? (I've read, although I didn't really understand, that installing the wrong kernel can affect I a way -- again, didn't get in which way-- your wireless antenna's performance) Is this the truth? I've experienced difficulties when connecting to some wifi networks. Also, a firend's Galaxy Note showed more wifi bars than mine, of the same hotspot. Does that mean I have a problem? Would be "flasing a new radio" the solution? Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
Yup modem flash it.an don play with antennas they can harm.and flash rite way if u dint.and wrong kernel can soft brick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Have the hardware antennas been damaged by a flash NO Never they are bits of metal .

WiFi Is in the kernel some are reputedly better than others .

Radio/modem is network not WiFi .

Easy enough to flash modems and kernels to try .

Signal bars are not indicative of the true signal strength .

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cyrixke:
Anybody else experiencing this problem: When I get an incoming call, it takes an awful lot of time before the screen wakes up and I can answer the call. This only started to happen recently. I'm talking like at least five seconds when it's already ringing. I'm on FB's Valhalla Rom, with Anton's kernel installed.

Another thing comes to mind: when the screen eventually wakes up, it takes another couple of seconds before my contact's name is displayed, before that I only get the phone number.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I had that problem on the stock 2.3.6 ROM w/ Bryan's latest kernel. I just changed to AntonX's [KERNEL] Almost Basic SGS4G KJ6 1.0 Beta4 and, thus far, I seem to be back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cyrixke:
Okay, I updated to the last version of Anton's kernel. So now I'm waiting for someone to call mee lol :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Cool. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
Does anyone know how to turn off the screen for incoming phone calls?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Just press the power button and it well turn off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
i mean that when you get incoming calls it wont turn on, so if i miss a call on silent by bln will tell me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
What Kernel are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eb13:
I've had this problem off and on ever since we got Gingerbread. Stock ROM, custom ROM and every GB kernel posted here... I've come to believe it's a problem from the Google source code, similar to the one that cause people to lose/never get sms sometimes.

I think it's some kind of memory management problem... I've had it happen the most when playing a game or running resource intensive applications.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msr4:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergie716:
You can always make an init.d script if your ROM supports it

Here's an example of how it should look, you can change the values to whatever you like

#! /sys/bin/sh

echo 2863311680 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_multiplier

echo 3336681600 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_multiplier

echo 3925507840 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_multiplier

echo -33 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/blue_v1_offset

echo -26 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/red_v1_offset

echo -30 >/sys/class/misc/voodoo_color/green_v1_offset

Or you can use an app called ROM Toolbox and use the "Scripter" to run this at boot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msr4:
Thanks! It's working great! However, I do notice that it sometimes makes my phone reboot on bootup about two times before it applies. But better than trying to remember my screen's values in Voodoo.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Well, I flashed this because i bootlooped on CM7 and nothing I tried fixed it:

http://hotfile.com/dl/145799379/87b0b05/S5830XWKS2_S5830XENKS1_S5830XWKS2.zip.html

Via odin, all went well- passed.

Then when i went to turn it on (after Cache wipe via stock recovery) the two light up buttons at the side of the home button light up and nothing else does. The screen does not turn on. When i pull the battery and wait a few moments then plug in USB, place battery back in Hold Home + Power + Vol Down- nothing happens- odin (4.38) does not recognise it. I have got cooper.ops and the new DDK8Q firmware from SamMobile.

Well im thinking: Either A) Something in my phone has blown by chance (Not Likely)

or B) The USB 1.0 Port my PC uses is faulty and interupted the process when it was working on the boot.

and C) The Firmware I downloaded was corrupted and Hard Bricked it

Now, I have already taken it to service centre before for a new motherboard (forgot I was no longer on the Defy so I flashed a Defy ROM on autopilot from the same SD)

so I'm wondering, with already haven claimed it on the warranty- will it now no longer be covered by warranty?

And, has anyone ever had this before?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] themountig:
Place phone on your papers. It will stop them blowing away. Seriously hope someone supplies you with good solution. I once had similar prob when using odin on laptop (vista), tried on PC (xp and 7) used on xp and managed to flash ok. Make sure drivers are ok and that you can get in download mode first though. GL

[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
Okay I ran the s-off tool last week and had success :). Then I decided to get off the ics leaked firmware and revert to the gb firmware.

I began experiencing issues with both my wifi and data disconnecting after a period of time. I have tried running the ruu in a exe and zip format and neither have fixed the problem. I also have tried doing a factory reset and clear storage from hboot immediately after the ruu was installed. No luck.

Not sure what the problem is here. Lol. I haven't seen anyone having problems going from ics back to gb. Am I missing something?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Hmm, I just finished reading the whole post, everyone else seemed to be fixed by doing the factory reset and clear storage. I reverted and haven't had any issues, granted I am just in 3g land so don't think 3G was an issue . Is it a problem while on the stock rom or just when you flash a custom rom ?
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
You shouldn't post your issue twice
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
I'm running stock and the weird thing is that my data icon goes away but in settings it has it marked like it is on.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
That's because the radio is on, but just because the radio is on doesn't mean you have a data connection.

Isn't there a known issue with flashing back to GB firmware and losing data?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Some have reported it , but he attempted the fix already and is saying it still isn't working. I am really not sure what else you could try other than running the RUU again, then trying to factory reset and clear storage.
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
I think I found the problem. My bootloader was unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
That wouldn't mess with data what so ever
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
That would make issues with the ruu fully flashing though wouldnt it? I relocked before doing the fix.here and im working great
[HTC Rezound] cincyelite22:
I fixed it by doing what I did above, but flashing the eng hboot first.
[A7 General] techristian:
So which of these ROM upgrades are for the A7+ ?

Using the wrong one can brick your device.

The Elocity website makes a strict distinction between the A7 and the A7+. The video format is different on the A7+ than on the A7. In one week I will have an A7+ and will want to upgrade it if possible.

[A7 General] kellmandroid:
If you go to http://dext3r.komodin.org/ there is a section with a couple of ROM's that have been modified to work the with A7+. Keep in mind though that these ROMs were originally developed for the A7 and I think they are missing the volume + and - buttons in the top bar (because the A7 had buttons to the right of the screen for this).

Just realize that I can use my Logitech remote cable to connect the galaxy s2 to the computer. It's nice. I forgot my Samsung cable at the office.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vee4410:
The s2 uses the standard micro usb connector which is also used on alot of other devices such as nokia,bb etc..so its quite easy to get a spare cable.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fenom186:
Yeah I've ended up using a nokia one before haha. I remember reading that they're trying to get most newer phones to use micro usb so that its all standardised. Except apple probably never will :p
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Lechium06:
Yup, I'm using a nokia cable right now. I think that some time ago the european commission actually passed a law or something that makes a microUSB port mandatory in all new phones..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iozzo:
Indeed they did. The microUSB becamed the standard in 2010 to charge phones.

I guess apple prefer to pay fines to have proprietary charger/cables.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
I will not say no, but I haven't seen or had a real life demonstration where an Android AV software stopped or prevented anything on any device (Xoom included).

I personally don't have one loaded on any of my Android devices but I would say this. For phones / tables I prefer firewall software than AV.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiflingcobra:
I would have to say yes. I recently attended a corporate day at Symantec and one of the things they demonstrated to us was how an Android phone becomes infected. The using a laptop they were able to extract personal info and sent txt messages and make calls.

So for me having seen that I would say yes especially if you side load apps using alternative markets.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZanshinG1:
Funny thing about that...

The sandboxing of the Java processes means that there's no escalation of privilege possible.

There are no viruses on Android in the sense that arbitrary code can be run, or infect the bytecode of other apps.

However, there are malicious apps which can be spotted by their permissions.

Don't use alternative markets. Pay attention to what you install, read permissions, read about the developers. Turn off unknown sources when not installing something from a trusted source. Those are the best security practices.

The "antivirus" apps for Android add very little real security on top of this, but they do slow down your device to make you feel safer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiflingcobra:
Your correct about the permissions. The demo we had was an app that had had extra code added and was uploaded onto the market. The demo then showed both apps with the same icons etc but the permissions on the rogue app were nearly 3 times what the legit app required.

The game still ran when you installed it but in the background it was running other daemons giving the hacker the control. One of the big give aways was the ability to send txt messages. No game should need this.

So yes you do have to be vigilant but extra protection is always better if you don't mind having Antivirus software installed...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eun-Hjzjined:
In my experience all that is really needed is a well configured firewall, pay attention to permission list before the app installation and to obviously avoid unofficial app markets.

The next thing to consider is what web browser you use. There are tons of options out there to choose and not all of them, actually most, don't offer modern features like anti-fishing and popup denial protection.

The best practice will always be prevention, and some android av programs do better than most.

If you are so inclined to have one, my recommendation would be for eset mobile security. I use their av on all my windows machines and haven't had a major issue at all.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapheady:
As long as your brain works when reading the permissions (i.e. "why does a wallpaper need to send SMSs?"), then no, an AV isn't necessary.

Unfortunately, a lot of android users don't see to do this, hence hte mass media panic about android viruses.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
That's why I recommended a firewall over an AV software, when I comes to Android at least it makes more sense to me to protect the flow of information then to waist CPU cycles on scanning for viruses.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubei71:
Good point. I recently un-installed my anti-virus (was using Avast) because it was really slowing down app installation and updating.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clydedean:
Yes android devices need antivirus because when you download apps or games from unknown parties aka third parties they mostly have virus or spyware so we need a antivirus which can scan files while downloading and if they have virus or spyware it would stop them if u ask me which av i m using i would recommend Appriva could antivirus reasons its available on play store and its free doesn't use much memory fast and reliable
