Also to make the parts accessible to be user friendly plug and play would make the phone huge not to mention the firmware for our phones is mostly hardware specific
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EdgaBimbam:
this will never happen, because it would kill manufactories profits ;D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
This is possible with PC's because they have a lot more room. Everything is so tightly packed in mobile phones that there isn't any space for connectors, slots, etc to make things like RAM or SOC's user replaceable. Have you seen how much space a CPU socket takes in? Quite a lot more than just soldering the damn thing to the board. :p

I could see it being possible for tablets, though. But if it ever happens, I doubt we'll see anything more than expandable RAM or hard drive. But even laptops are moving away from such things, so don't get your hopes up! :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AwaisKhan:
Well to start, PC's are not compact & portable, thats why you have laptops & in modern day laptops you cant change 80% of the hardware.... Phones are like laptops, compact, portable, small, built for a purpose, so if you want a phone that you can change hardware on i suggest buying a Neverhappening 3000 starting prices at £/$0
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Neverhappening 3000 I think I may have wee'd a little.. u sir just made my evening :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SealsNavie:
You people are crazy, something like this gets mentioned and the majority think negatively.

Lets take an example, lets say Samsung releases the 'Galaxy Note 2' and instead of releasing 3 different models comprising of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB internal storage,they just release one model.

Now...lets say that 'Note 2' model has a dual core processor with 16GB of storage and 1GB of RAM, this would be the very least expected for a base phone, some people don't play games and would take it as it is. However, for those that do play games...there is an option of having to upgrade to a quad core processor, with 2GB RAM, this is the maximum limit you can upgrade your 'Note 2'.

Speaking of plug and play, I don't think its complicated, all you need is a chip with connects to the slots in the right place and a mechanism to disconnect the battery whilst changing the CPU and there you go.

Overall, it would be up to the manufacture as to the maximum level a phone can be upgraded to, I think phone manufacturers can save lots of money buy doing this rather than manufacturing different phones, however this is how the phone would be graded:

budget phones > upgradable to entry level smartphones

entry level smartphones > mid-level smartphone

mid-level smartphone > high-end user phone

high-end user phone > maximum performance phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
So many people here who lack vision. A decade from now desktops will have a powerful alternative (notice I didn't say replacement). This alternative will be your "phone". Anywhere you go your car your work desk your home desk will sync with your device and offer you a streamlined experience using all the same file structure etc. This is true convergence. This is the end game. So how do interchangeable parts fit in? Samsung and Apple absolutely dominate the 99% of phone sales in the world. A new business model will emerge and will allow for greater competition. This is all my opinion of course and maybe I'm crazy but least I do not lack vision.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SealsNavie:
Doesn't the Note do the same job as a computer already, where it can be connected to a large screen, keyboard and mouse? Its only been possible quite recently.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Yes but this is just the beginning. Tim Cook will be inserting his foot squarely in his mouth after saying convergence is not the future.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AwaisKhan:
;)

Also the only hardware we will ever probably can change will always be;

- Battery

- SD Card

- Sim Card (but soon companies are going throw away the idea of a sim card)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Wrong and short sighted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
this is just not going to be a reality... but dream on :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Actually it will
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ebhsimon:
Maybe you've never seen the internals of a phone before.everything is soldered down. if you see the difference in a desktop and a laptop the desktop tower allows for things to be slotted in and the laptop doesn't because it needs to be mobile and thin and lightweight. It had no sockets or spare space. Like a laptop a phone is like this. If sockets existed the thickness of the phone would increase to accommodate the 'future' chips which would probably be bigger than current ones. That is the requirements of a'future proofed' phone. It will be thick as hell and doesn't have a big target audience to sell to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Good point. Design challange.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
Before that happens let me see a consumer laptop that can upgrade CPU and graphic card
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fjevel:
As most of the others in this thread points out, I think this would be very challenging on many levels.

What would be plausible and doable was to virtualize the OS. Meaning you run your enviroment as a VM on the hardware with a hypervisor inbetween your OS and the hardware. (Think VMware ESXi) That way you could "upgrade the hardware" without touching the OS.

You would probably lose a little performance, but with the CPU and RAM available today it will be doable.

But this would have to be developed by a third party, as it would reduce the handset vendors to a pure HW developer, and they tend to want to make their "branding" on OS as well...

-KJ
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xalies:
You can order your new laptop with options like better cpu, more ram etc... so why not a phone

i can see it now ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Wanna team up to create the first portable mobile thin client? We need to patent trademark this lmao
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gramessh:
1. Samsung makes phones to make money, lots of it. I do not think that they will give you upgradable phones and risk not selling a future phone well. This kinda applies for all consumer electronics.

2. Phones don't use the same architecture and hardware. Six months after the Note launch, the new Exynos has arrived. You cannot simply change the processor and think you will get better performance. A lot of research and testing is involved in these kind of things.

So, if it does happen, you will be losing out on performance to a certain extent even if you have to pay less.

But god knows, this might be a new business idea and if Samsung and other manufacturers think they can make money out of it, may be it can become commercial. Let's just hope for the best :)

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Laptops have extendable RAM slots, a processor socket which will work with any processor designed for it. There was a time when even this wasn't possible (Apple era). A phone with similar features would not only increase the size significantly, but also pose restrictions to several other aspects.

Even if possible, users as in customers can never be expected to handle such kind of work themselves.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
That is build to order, not after market customization, like buying a car with options. Phones at this level will be too much of a cost to manufacture to make it a viable options for consumer, unless u want to pay a premium for it. Just look at storage 16 gb to 32gb is 100 dollar jump, and that us just one flash chip difference....just think of the CPU and all that. U probably looking at over 1000 that only last u about a year or two. Not to mention all these phone have to go through FCC approval, it is just too many small things to take care than say customize a PC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cas333:
This would work!!!

This would be a great i deal to make standard , a form factor for a phone, with cases that are easily disassembled.

Main Parts

1)Case size small and large

2) Camera up grades

3) Bluetooth sized micro SD witch also housed the wireless card.

4)Screen

5)Mother-bored's of different strengths and cost ranges

EXP: I have a large form factor case of my choice of color and shape/look/designs,

12mp camera, new Bluetooth4.0 wifi ac NIC, 1080p resolution screen,

Mother-bored /* marketing name Extremism v1.2 */ spec's 2.1gh quadcore

8g of ram, 64 gb storage.

Making replaceable ram and CPU's can be done,.... But YOU try bending back a

pin the size of thin hair and see how that works out for you;

{my English is bad lol and i have lived in the us my whole life lol}
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxynote2:
Its a nice idea, but the big brands will lost a lot of money. Think about Apple:

Chinese clones will get the same hardware as apple iPhone, but at half price... The same as Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, ALL the brands of the world will lost money.

Sorry my bad english
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cas333:
That is with any brand now day's most people buy apple thoe. Reason name brand, support by stores, if i bought a clone if it breaks who am i goning to bring it back to to get it replaced? oh android all the way who needs apple lol ;
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fpjteng:
Imagine this, your current phone when it falls, back casing battery scatter on the floor. How much more if everything is detachable?

I wouldnt want to pick up my fallen phone like candies. LOL
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
instead make the phones so cheap that it becomes easy to replace than upgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
Chrome phone anyone??

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] benze79:
Woq, if can custom then the phone will be amazingly.big!

Huge screen! Not that huge but big enough and most important is the battery life!

And.loud.speaker!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
ya like upgrading a 720p display to a 1080p.

childish dreams
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] benze79:
If can do so, why not the developer. But they always think of profit and marketable area.

So its a dream for us, but for them is a developer item for them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I like the transformer foldable screen idea. if physical screens are still needed. Yes they, until eons away. who knows. Lol

and wearing then vs holding them. lol, ethical warez (Tm © pending lol, kidding like Tesla by al means please use, with request my permission ofc, I'd like to get onboard)

Imaginge a upgrade is then as simple as buying more virtual stuff, or just a better antenna/modem, graphics chip and snapping it on your ware, ethically, bionically. Well that backfired when I used the word bionic, imagine a new line for Borg, Bjorn Borg, the you will be assimilated, resistance is futile series. Only brand I could quickly find with the name Borg, mwahaha

Needless to say, This could also reduce demands on precious physical resources. However the wear and tear etc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
im sure this has been posted a thousand fold, but i wanted to post one for the personalization of it. What would you say its the best overall kernel for cm7.2. im about to have a crack at using tiamat with it since it was my personal fav on my incredible. any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I like aeroevans 8bfs kernel. His 8 cfs is good too but idk the difference really. His ics v9 kernel supposedly works with gingerbread but I haven't tried it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
The v9 kernel works really well with cm7. I would really recommend using it. Battery life is much improved.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
If you are sure its been asked, why didn't you search for it. Then the next thing is, test for yourself. Every phone responds different. I'm using AOKP with aeros newest kernel and my phone is flipping amazing, but my wife has lockups and a whole lot of other crap wrong.. it also depends on your governer and use that you do with it. Seriously, this is just another pointless thread that could've been in one of the already open ones...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
I Dont understand what the problem is. He posted in the correct section, was polite and simply asked for our opinions. Kernels do change, with updates and whatnot while others get left behind. simply searching and grave digging an old thread doesnt really change anything. Just dont want this place to become a thread-prison.

As for the kernels, tiamat hasnt been updated for our phone in ages, a lot of stuff has changed for GB since their last update. JDK kernel is in the same boat. This leaves the various versions of Aero's kernel essentially, i'd go with .8bfs or the v9 ics kernel, which i'm currently using with no problems.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FatGuyWithWifi:
thank you if youre not gonna help then dont post. its people like that thats made alot of great devs leave xda cause of the trollers.

anyways thanks for all the tips ill try em all out. im currently testing out some sense kernels for great battery life any suggestions there?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
I fully agree. When you get a new device you are not sure what is old and what are outdated mods and what is the newest thing sometimes. I agree we should search first. But I have had times where I search and google and still no answers. Then when I finally post a question there is usually someone making a refference about another kitty being killed. I came from the Droid X2 which the phone was crap and Motorola sucks A$$ for locking the phones down. However that forum was very friendly and eager to help out noobs. I do understand some of the questions asked are a little crazy and you can tell they did not search. But if you are pissed about someone posting just ignore it and let some other helpful person respond. And if they post in the wrong section the MR Highway will come get them!! He is awesome at that! :) Keep up the great work Mr Highway. Sorry just my .02 cents. Also as the noobs learn they help out other noobs and hopefully you respected devs can ignore these simple questions. The DX2 was my first phone and I had no idea what I was doing. With the help of the DX2 community I got up to speed and was able to help others. Look at my thanks count. One noob helping another. I asked plenty of questions when I first came on here had some helpful feedback and some smart remarks. Well needless to say I am now comfortable with flashing Roms,Kernel,radio and moving back and forth from AOSP,Sense, and ICS and I found all the fixes and work around ICS by reading the threads and not asking questions here. Just some food for thought.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
Again, our phone lacks a large variety of kernels, however the few we have are solid (probably the reason we dont have 2000 of them xD)

The only kernel i've really used for sense is drellisdee's #21 kernel, it comes with all the usual cpu governors and is included in a lot of ext4 sense roms. It works on sense 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5 in my experience as well.

Hopefully that was of some help :s
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
This is the Problem I have right here.. so he knows it was most likely posted over and over and just said f it I don't want to look.

Yes, he did post this in the right section if it was just kernel and not ROM specific with CM7.2 why just question for AOSP or sense? And I wasn't rude in my response to him as far as him posting a question. I am irritated knowing that we have just recently had a lot of problems in this thread with people just simply asking questions they could've searched for and reposting the same thing 8,000,000 times (su, killall drmserver) ya that is familiar

Thank god our device doesn't have many different ones to look into. Its not like its hard again to search kernel and see what shows up.

Its lack of wanting to put in any time with search and asking the same exact questions over and over that makes DEV's leave.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
There were plenty of more posts to quote but I think I proved my point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] The Archangel:
Im locking this, before it goes south, an in my eyes, that's what it's looking like.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how you can backup your app data from your device, and also transfer it to another Android/HTC device.

HTC has HTC Sync, but it doesn't backup messages, app data etc from your device.

Now I was wondering, how you can do it, without rooting your device.

Is there an official Google or HTC way to do that? :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grumps:
If its not rooted you can use smsbackup : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd to backup ur smses to ur gmail account and restore it again. about data i dont think there is a way
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shithead:
Thx for your help. This is quite annoying if you're going to get a new phone :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumibd:
you can use Titenium backup for backup your spp data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CASADELPEZ:
In HTC Sense 3.0 you can make backups from menu - Backup messages on Message App.

Try TitaniumBackup for preserve your contents. Or use an alternative app sms form market.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilc1:
Be careful most of these backup programs do not backup MMS messages. I found Sprite Backup the only one to do all SMS, MMS including pictures.
