What does are phone have dual A9? Why don't you want a quad? Recent article says you get 20% less power consumption.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
Again, every time you say the evo lte dual core is a downgrade, you show everyone that you don't know what you are talking about. The qualcomm dual core in the evo lte is vastly superior to the tegra 3. It is an upgrade, not a downgrade. If the quad core exynos is not ARM 15 based, it will be inferior to the krait chip in the evo lte.

Stop saying that the dual core Evo is a downgrade. Just stop.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
One video of one benchmark (running on what looks like beta software, whats up with the android dialog on boot?) doesn't change the facts. Krait is next gen, tegra 3 is A9 and is last gen. Every other benchmark has krait at 1.5ghz dominating, not to mention power consumption. I'd love it if the quad core exynos has 4 A15 cores, but if it's A9 I'm not really interested.

God i hope sprint gets the quad core chip set.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Please please have the Exynos. Don't get me wrong I love the S4 in the One X and I'm sure the New Evo will be awesome as well, but when I hear Galaxy I think Exynos and AMOLED and Great GpU. Hopefully Sprint will stand out again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Well, this is somewhat good news, as anything a15 based would be better than a9. (when will you people get it?? quad core with older tech is NOT better than dual core with newer tech!)

I am disappointed Samsung is not pushing the a15 Exynos 5250 for their flagship phone..

Idk there has been a load of leaked specs on the s3 but a lot of them differ. Maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment but I think the early leaked specs might be wrong or maybe misinformation on Samsungs part.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
isn't the S2 for Sprint the only one with the Exynos processor? I don't think it's all that impossible for sprint to get the quad in the S3 or even better the Nexus 4 (cause really who can't wait a few months).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
The only reason the epic touch had exynos was because it didn't have lte ....it had Wimax

Actually tmobiles is the only galaxy s2 without an exynos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
Ughhh, people like this man drive me insane. Don't pay attention to that article, of course every manufacturer is going to try and say things like that. Yes, it does save power because it's using a 32nm transistor or something like that, as opposed to the 48nm in the S2, or something like that.....again. But the quad core isn't even optimized for android, so two cores are going to sit idle the entire time and use up power. The Krait chip is based off of 28nm, so it save even more power. But that's not even the big part, it's that they're using A9 Architecture over A15. An A15 processor clocked at 1Ghz will outperform an A9 processor at 1Ghz by 40%. Since only two of the cores are being used, you're setting yourself up with some crappy dual core usage off of a 1.4 Ghz A9 as opposed to what could be a 1.6 or 1.8 Ghz A15, which would smother the quad core chip. The ONLY thing that quad core chips will slightly benefit from, is HD gaming. And the Krait S4 chip can still run that ish fine. In the end we're getting what's really a slower processor and worse battery life, don't be fooled by the quad core title. The S4 outperforms the Tegra 3 (and now probably the Exynos 4212) in almost every aspect, and by a good margin. I don't even care if it's the Krait chip, I just want A15. If I see one more 'Oh goody quad core! I was worried we'd get some lame dual core' comment, I'm going to rip someone's testicles off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
If you read up, you'd also know that some of the power savings come from dynamic core management.

So android may not be managing it, but it won't have cores running idle sucking up power for no reason.

Wow im pretty sure I read the whole article Nd it didnt say any of that...be a **** head much? Thanks for answering my question after being a jerk though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
Don't worry, he didn't read through or understand the Samsung press release either since he glossed over some important bits.

But we all know liek it won't be Cutting Edge since it's not a z59 1/2 running at 60 jooberhertz amirite?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
While a kickass dual core can indeed beat an older quad core technology...statements that say ANY A15 dual cores can beat ANY A9 based quad core are also false and just as annoying. The S4 and Tegra 3 have been out long enough to know that they're both pretty much matched in performance, give or take some benchmarks. Hey, I found THIS one that says the Tegra 3 is better...

Point is...IF the quad core A9 based exynos is supposed to be able to smack the tegra 3 around, it SHOULD be faster than the A15 S4. If the alternative was a dual core A15 exynos...then it will be a different story, but the S4 is out now and there's no mystery to its performance. Yes it's kickass, but it doesn't mean that it is the beat all end all chip right now where quad A9's can still hold their own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
Most of my excitement died after I read about the US versions having the Snapdragon Dual-Core. Hopefully something magical will happen and that could change.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
You know it's disturbing that smartphone forums are starting to remind me (sadly) of graphics card forums years ago where people would buy the latest games.

Instead of playing them for fun, they'd spend all their time running fraps and overclocking and never really experience the game itself. Their game was a shiny calculator and the beginning and end were how high they could get an arbitrary number.

If you take a step back, you can perhaps appreciate just how ridiculous it often is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Exynos gpu kicks butt!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
If I upgrade to the next galaxy phone, I'd want to have the best rather then a changed one which isn't top notch like the original (not saying the Galaxy S III won't be or anything since we don't know the exact specs).

If it turns out to be a "dumbed down" version (not saying it will be) I'd rather just hold onto what I currently have until I could actually get the best or whatever.

I'm perfectly fine with the Epic 4G Touch, but with all the "expected" specs I was a bit excited to perhaps get it, but then there was some disappointment. I'm sure it'll be great regardless, but probably not enough for a MUST have, at least personally for me.

Either way, we'll all find out soon enough and then everyone could decide for themselves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
Yup, that's fine. I'm not saying it's wrong to be excited about new fancy stuff.

It's just that after a certain amount of raw power in the form factor it just seems silly to say that "only" twice as fast with everything improved would be disappointing if it's not xyz processor.

And I've seen a startling amount of comments to that effect. Which I find even more strange considering where the platform was just two years ago.

It's like that Louis C.K bit about a dude on a plane complaining about no wifi when he'd just discovered that it exists minutes before being told it wasn't working.

You're sitting on a chair, IN THE SKY!

In other words, I get the idea that many people just don't appreciate all the awesome we have right now and instead feel a weird entitlement/need for the next big thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
Yeah I know what you mean, which is exactly why I don't mind sticking with my phone since it still is pretty amazing, especially when you take it to the max (customization and such).

I think what disappoints people is that the US will be getting the Dual-Core non-Exynos while the rest get the Quad-Core Exynos, especially since they probably had higher expectations.

The phone will no doubt be very impressive and a big improvement, but I guess when people know that it could be even better, they don't care to appreciate what's given as much. Just my personal opinion on how I think people are reacting to this or whatever. Of course I'm not directing any disrespect towards anyone since almost everyone (including myself) wants the "best".

Yeah, that's the world we live in lol. It's just ridiculous sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
What did I say that was rude? Was it my first comment? If so, my apologies. I just get annoyed at the constant comments about quad cores blah blah. The last comment was really directed towards everyone, considering how nany threads there have been about tegra 3 vs krait performance. I apologize, I was in the same boat as you a few months ago, so Im not in any place to be criticizing anyone. Again, my apologies for being rude.

What important bit did I skip over? Im aware that there will be dual core variants, but which dual chipset has yet to be verified.

I highly doubt the 4412 will 'kick around' the T3. It'll probably be marginally better, just because of it's 32nm structure and dynamic voltage, as well as the GPU that comes with the chipset. Definitely wont smoke it. And the Krait S4 most definitely kicks their ass. I'm not saying that either quadcore chip is bad. Obviously anything with 4 cores is going to run fine, but it's not the powerhouse I was hoping for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brekec88:
Its all good man. I understand but this is not a thread that had anything to do with the krait s4 or tegra quad core. Im asking about exynos quadcore US comparability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Where have you found that Krait S4 "most definitely kicks their ass". Every benchmark I have seen has either have it equal, or either barely losing/beating the Tegra 3. Also, our Exynos is a decent jump from Tegra 2, so why can't it be assumed that quad exynos be a decent jump over Tegra 3? I mean anything about quad core exynos is theoretical now until it comes out...but Krait S4 is already out and benchmarked and reviewed...and it certain isn't kicking the ass out of any quad core A9's that I have seen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
Skyrocket on ATT didn't have exynos either.

Tegra 3 is really an elegant design with the companion core, but I believe it only has single channel memory, which is holding it back. My gs2 overclocked to 1.8 often out benches my friend's prime. There's no discernable difference without a benchmark to tell you though.

I am just unable to get excited about more A9 based chips =(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
I just want a SGS3 with a Exynos processor (quad or dual) on Sprint with LTE. That will be the perfect phone then and I dont gotta worry about upgrading for a few years. IF no exynos Ill stick with the Epic 4g touch for a year or 2 :o

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MultiLockOn:
:cool:

Ive seen quite a few threads showing performance for either. Theres even several threads here in general chat that were started to prove that tegra 3 is awful. Ill link it when Im not on my phone. In short tegra 3 cant asynchronize so its running full power or nothing. And absolutely nothing in the world is optimized for four cores aside from a few games in tegra zone. Most benchmarks Ive seen with the two shows the s4 demolishing it in almost every way aside from a few things like float point, multitasking, etc where it was very close. Ill link some later. Even sammy said their 5250 a15 doubles the performance of their a9 4412 at the same clock rate. Illl pass on the s3 nd wait until later this year when sammy releases their big guns (5250 and the mali gt506 or whatever it is)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
Anandtech just posted their review of ATT's version of the One X. Like you said, krait and tegra 3 beat each other in specific benchmarks.

But battery life is what matters after that. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/3

Krait wins pretty big here. It's a much better soc to use for a mobile phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Actually, to be fair, the only battery benchmark that the tegra 3 won in...was the mobile cellular call test...so technically it's the better choice for a mobile "phone" :p

But ya, Krait and Tegra 3 are close in most things including gpu. If the quad core exynos can beat Tegra 3, it should beat Krait (except maybe battery), then I'd hope it'll be it in my next phone and not Krait, even though Krait is still awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iahk:
The most impressive for me wasn't anything related to tegra 3 vs krait either. It was how efficient krait's lte chipset is in power as the one x only has an 1800mah battery and the razr maxx has 3300mah, yet it's right there neck to neck with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
I can't wait for Thursday. Whether it has a quad-core Exynos or a dual-core Krait, it's gonna ****in' fly. Personally I'd rather have a dual-core A15 like everyone else, but I doubt that'll be happening unless they ship the US versions with the 5250 a few months later. I'm probably going to get the SGS3 anyway. I know Exynos chips destroy everything else, but the Krait benchmarks and reviews have proven that it's a monster and power sipper at the same time.

Bring on May 3rd.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JMonkeYJ:
i believe there is a bug in either the GNex's bluetooth hardware or Android ICS.

i have an A2DP adapter in my car to play music from my phone on my car stereo. my car also comes with the ability to connect to a phone for the purpose of taking and making calls thru its stereo and mics (using bluetooth HFP). when both are enabled simultaneously, i am able to listen to my music fine. if i get or make a call, the phone pauses the music, as you would expect, and goes into the call (although when i receive calls there seems to be a delay before the GNex switches over), but in the call the audio is garbled/robotic/scrambled...whatever you want to call it. this is the case both for what i hear and for what the person at the other end hears.

i wanted to start this thread to get more info about this problem from others that have experienced it, and maybe see if we can come up with a workaround.

there is an AC thread about this here:

and i put in a bug at google here:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianken:
According to other posts in the forums, the AOKP ROM does not have these issues.

I really did not want to root this device. I know, that's just not cool. But everything else was just working.

My Sensation did not have these problems, but alas I dropped it and it died and I was still on contract. The Nexus was more cost effective than bending over for the off-contract price from TMO.

Anyway, chalk me up as a "me too" on this issue. I'm going to root tonight and try AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrbo:
I would be kind of surprised if it didn't exist in AOKP, because the problem definitely exists in CyanogenMod 9 (and AOKP is essentially a kang of that). In fact, I uninstalled CM9 and reverted to stock expressedly because I initially thought that this bug was a CM9 issue and it was annoying enough that I figured I'd revert to stock until CM9 reaches stable, only to discover that the problem is in the official Google builds as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JMonkeYJ:
Please let us know how it goes! I've been using Bugless Beast, but would switch to AOKP if it fixes this bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianken:
I've yet to find a build without BT issues of some sort.

The garbled call audio is new to me. I've not see that on other devices but have yet to find a GN ROM that mitigates it. This is in addition to issues that go back to the Nexus 1. There was an audio.conf fix for that, I'll see if I can wrangle it up and see if it helps here.

My setup: Factory BT hands free (crap Audi OEM goo) + FIPO A2DP device for music. So, two completely discrete BT devices.

Edit:

try this: edit etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and set master=true (backup the file first)

I also set HFP=true (it's commented out in the file)

What I found:

1- Calling: audio quality was still pretty poor with a lot of pops. It sounds a bit "hot." Quite inferior to other devices I've used with this setup.

2- However: A2DP playback no longer glitches. In my case audio played fine after the first connect after BT was turned on. But subsequent connects, say after leaving and the returning to the car would result in glitchy audio.

So far this tweak seems to have improved things. I'm really bummed by the audio all quality.
