[General Questions and Answers] crolikman:
unfortunately, it seems that SGS3 will be released in North America with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4. so I do not understand how it will be an improvement from SGS2...

may be I am missing some technical details and Snapdragon S4 is incredibly fast and powerful, but somehow I doubt that.

I kind of knew that they would not release quad-core S3 in NA. normally, all the good smartphones somehow manage to by-pass North American market.

for instance, it is a mystery to me why Samsung Omnia HD was never released in US or Canada.

As for the Galaxy Note, somehow I have doubts about its processing speed as almost all hardware specs are copied from SGS2. how come a phone with a screen almost twice the size of SGS2 and same hardware specs can operate just as smooth as SGS2 does?
[General Questions and Answers] avataranjie:
Quad core doesn't mean it's faster or better. The quadcore exynos 4412 is a 32nm chooser with A9 cortex instructions. Dualcore S4 is 28nm A15 structure. A15 is a huge improvement over A9. Plus the sg3 in states has 2 gigs of ram. If you have enough patience wait for the next nexus

I don't think you can really tell the difference between these chipsets anymore. They're all too fast.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Here is my basic understanding of chipsets. Exynos quad> Qualcomm Krait = Tegra 3 = Exynos Dual Core 2.0 ghz > TI OMAP Dual core.

Now,exynos chipset doesn't support 4G LTE network (it maxes out at 21mbps) but qualcomm does ( the reason Sony uses them)

Samsung value their international market,where they are more popular comparatively. LTE isnt widespread outside USA so they dont see need in equiping their international sets with a feature people wont use. The solution then,is to give the few carriers with LTE an LTE version of the phone,relatively few units,and cost save.

Sadly my family is tied in so to me the upgrade Is just helpful
[General Questions and Answers] vx117:
I still don't think that you should be discouraged by the dual core Snapdragon S4. It is has close to an A15 architecture and can outstrip most quad core devices, even the Tegra 3. Really, in real life, most of us won't notice the difference. The only major difference is the graphics. The quad core exynos 4 torches the Snapdragon S4's graphics.

But overall, the US versions of the Galaxy S3 are still very good. Really, do current quad cores make a difference? The real difference in quad cores will come sometime next year, when exynos 5 rolls out. Also on a side note, most apps are not optimized to run on quad core, let alone dual cores, so you're not gonna miss out on too much.

[General Questions and Answers] tdagraca:
Well, it depends. are you getting a quad-core phone just because it is relevant and the "latest-greatest" or do you really need all of that processing power? If you do need that processing power then go for a quad core phone,( it will be much more up to date in two years, rather than a dual core phone) but if i had to say something...i'd go with the gs3 although I am not a big fan of TW...

I recommend the ATRIX 3/dinaro. It looks awesome. This is why: 1.5 ghz snapdragon s4 (don't whine about dual core vs quad core, the s4 is faster than a Tegra 3), large (4.7 in, I think) 720p display, 3300 ma/h battery, Motorola's minimal ics skin with virtual buttons, and at&t lte.

The Snapdragon S4 is not too far from the Tegra 3, so I guess you'll feel it with the US Version of the S3. :p

The only reason I'd wait for the Motorola is battery life. You are waiting based on rumors, so you might just get a 1975mAh battery at launch.Why do I say this? People thought the iPhone 4S was 5. People thought the s3 had 2gb RAM. People don't always get it right.
[General Questions and Answers] good4y0u:
The s3 us does have 2 gb ram

And yeah -.- but moto has great build quality
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
That's true,but how long until your upgrade isn't valid? And how long until the rumors materialise? Consider that. Any Krait Processor phone will serve you well, even ofcourse the S3. I'd get a 32gig internal memory one to compensate.

PS: the s3 with 2gig ram supports LTE and is a Korean Exclusive to SK Telecom ... and even they don't have it in stock. People get it wrong sometimes.

They become invalid ? , I didn't know that. But I do know that I'm in contract on 2 other lines for another year or 2
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
You'll go to month to month when your contact ends. That means your new phone will be a fresh contract as opposed to taking it back early.( there we're discounts for that? It's been a while)

Yeah you get like 200-300$ off a high end phone and mid phone for $99 and others free ( course im, going for top of the line )
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
I thought so. If you think waiting for the Motorola isn't a loss financially or otherwise,then you should. I'd pick the Motorola if it was in the market, but it's not. I don't like the design choices Sony and HTC made with their flagships,but that's me. LG take forever to update phones.Anything else pales to a Galaxy Note. That leaves the blue Galaxy S3 32gb.

Hi,

I flashed the stock galaxy s rom from samfirewire.com.

After the flash i rebooted the phone. Now my phone is stuck on boot.

I says i9000 and then gives the battery charge indicator and reboots in a loop.

I can only start the phone when attaching it to the usb loader and boot the phone.

How can i fix this?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] idzai:
I just bought the Anker 2700mAh combo from a local dealer in Singapore. 2 batteries and charger at SGD40. Charging the battery at the moment... Cant wait to test the batteries!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sonkameja:
Take the total average time your phone lasts until it dies

So if your phone lasts only 6 hours on average do this

60 * 6 = 360 minutes

Then do 2500(mah)/360(minutes) = 6.94(mah per min)

So the stock 2500 mah battery should last for 360 minutes

While the anker 2700 mah will last you 389.04 minutes

So for $10-13 dollars will get you an extra 30 minutes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] panyan:
No, for $10-13 you get a secondary battery which can potentially go 30 minutes more than the stock battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] azzledazzle:
So you will get, say 6 hours from the stock battery and 6.5hours for each anker battery (of which you get 2?)

So thats 6 + 6.5 + 6.5 = 19hours ! (19 Hours of usage, Not 19hours standby)

pretty awesome for $<15
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sonkameja:
I'm in the camp of people who don't want to carry extra devices and constantly removing the back cover

It is not 19 hours of constant usage.

The oem gives me on average 6 hours in the day which also includes Standby.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] qsgsg:
I have the Anker 2500mah and 2700 mah. Battery life for the 2700mah is similar to 2500mah and the interesting thing is that the 2700mah weighs 2 g lesser than both the Original and Anker 2500mah. Taht's disappointing costhey stopped selling the 2500mah and sold the 2700mah at a higher price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] sudisk:
I bought the dual pack with charger. I have been very happy with the battery life a bit better than stock, but now I have a working 3250 mah battery so I keep the Ankers as spare.

Frankly the price is not high considering the quality of the product.

is that 3250 mah that gold stock size battery?

is it legit? does it actually provide 3250?

on the battery showdown or the 3250 review, they said it was a load of crap and the battery died after a short while or something.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] qsgsg:
well 2700mah pack costs more than the 2500mah pack with same performance. anyway they have increased the price again after my purchase, so for any new buyers I would recommend others maybe the gold battery.

The separators at the battery contact point has has broken for all my anker batteries and also the top edges seemed to have been cracked too. It is minor nonetheless.

[General Accessories] Karala:
I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.

The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:

I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

So, I had Supernova rom and it worked perfectly. I did used dropbox hack to get more GB and since then it's gone crazy. Every few seconds crashed apps etc. So i've decided to format it all and reinstall it. I used quickboot to get into recovery since my power button is dead.

I can use lower volume when pluging in battery to get into first screen but can't choose recovery. Is there any program so I can flash it from here?

[Desire General] mauro1992:
Similar problem

I had something similar yesterday. I thought i bricked the device or something but that I was pretty sure I didn't. It was only vibrating, so after some googling i found out the power button is broken.

I managed to get it booting again after the battery was fully drain and charged up again. I quickly went to the settings in my rom (BCM 4.0) and enabled the option so the trackpad can also wake my device. Also got an app called screen off and lock, whch enables you to lock your device from the notification area.

I do have a linux device with the adb options, which helped me get into the recovery, as that was a problem with the broken button. I had the same problem that I was able to get into fastboot, but couldn't do anything. Make sure you run a rom that has the trackpad wake, or something similar.

Luckily I didn't simply go buy a new device, even though the power button is broken it'll still run for quite a while still I hope. Love my device ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sponge14:
I have read threads where it says that if you root but don't change system files or install other ROMS that I will still receive OTA updates...

I've rooted and ROM'ed every phone I've owned since the old HTC windows mobile bricks and I've decided I am happy the way this phone works stock. I want to be able to stop the camera sound, use titanium backup, and be able to wifi tether, all of which I believe need a rooted phone...

Would changing the above settings get rid of my OTA ability? What exactly would it take to lose the OTA update ability?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Yes, best to be on a stock rooted ROM though. You will lose root after update though. To lose OTA update, a dev would have to disable it or I believe too much modification to the system framework will cause the recovery to detect an incompatible build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Except for the camera sounds, the others shouldn't prevent you from getting OTA while rooted, though I would question why you would want to, if there are rooted versions of the OTA on XDA (which is an assumption)

With the camera sounds, if you just eliminate the sound files for "shutter" I think you will be ok because it is unlikely those will be files the OTA is looking to patch.

However, if you get rid of the "focus" sound, you need to change the camera.apk for that, and if you do that, the OTA will very likely try to patch camera.apk, find that it has changed, and exit with an assert() failure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sponge14:
Well, I just would like the OTA updates to work and be done with them. With my old Epic (which was stolen yesterday) I had to always hunt down the OTA update and fight through it. I just kinda want the phone to work.

However, if the camera sounds are going to screw with an OTA, I just might have to live with finding the rooted OTA again....

I read about certain problems with Flash while using Pershoot's kernel and I haven't really found any substantial info on overclocking. I own SetCPU and have done it before but not sure what kernels support it on the 10.1. Fired it up on my Tab and it kept crashing and while changing the governor worked not much else was.

I'm not against changing ROMs to accomplish this but I'm not interested in buggy crap aka non-working camera/gps/usb charging.
