you could try clearing map cache, force close, and restarting the app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] premiatul:
Thanks but that didn't work.

I fired up Telenav and it works good, speaking out the street names.

But I want to use Google Maps like I used to, with spoken street names.

I think in the last update they took away that feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
You have to clear all data for maps...then start it back up...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] premiatul:
Clearing the data did not work.

However, I fixed it.

What happened is this...

I use Ivona text to speech engine, and I moved it to the SD card.

After that it did not read anything anymore, including the street names in Maps.

I restored Ivona back to the phone and now it reads everything OK.

Thanks for your time and answers.

Now here are the steps to install the “Pure Look S3 [v3.1.1 Final]” ROM on the Galaxy S2:

Download the _purelook S3 v3.1.1 final XWLPG.zip (do not extract), and copy it to the SD Card of your device by connecting it to your computer via USB cable.

Charge your device’s battery to at least 70% level.

Backup all your contacts, messages, and other important data.

Enable USB Debugging Mode on your device. Go to Settings> Applications>> Development>> USB Debugging On.

Now boot it into CWM Recovery Mode. You can do this in three ways. If you can see a utility called CWM Manager on your device, ope it and select “Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery”. Another way is to download the ROM Manager app from the Google Play Store and use “Reboot into Recovery” option. You can also boot your device in the Recovery mode by this way: switch off the device, and keep pressed the Volume Up+Home+Power keys simultaneously till the startup screen with Samsung Galaxy S2 logo blinks for two times.

In the Recovery Mode, select “wipe data/factory reset” and “wipe cache partition” and confirm your choice by selecting “Yes”.

Then go to “advanced” option and choose “wipe dalvik cache” and confirm the choice.

Then return back to the main menu and select “install zip from sdcard>> choose zip from sdcard”. Browse to the “_purelook S3 v3.1.1 final XWLPG.zip” file and select it.

CWM Recovery will start flashing the ROM on to your Galaxy S2 and will take a few minutes to finish.

When it is complete, go back to main menu and select “reboot system now”.

It will take a few minutes for you device to reboot. Do not panic if it takes a longer time and wait patiently.

[Acer Iconia A500] Mkami:
It's seriously starting to piss me off, first my device doesn't connect to an external HDD. Now when I try to transfer files to my sd card within my tab files don't transfer from my pc to my tablet, it just shows the transfering animation but doesn't even transfer. And whenever I try to create a new folder in my SD card within my tab it gives an error saying device has been disconnected, even though my device is connect and function. Please somebody help me out here! I'm going crazy with this, I have a lot of files and docs I need to transfer.

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The PC to Tab transfer issue is likely due to your cable, I've had this too, one more than just my tabs. Try a different one.
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
Yep for some reason the Tab does not like certain cables....

It sure would be nice to get a working PC-to Tab sync via USB working...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
My Gallery takes around 15 seconds to open, sticks on a black screen for ages. I think this is because it is checking my (hundreds) of Picasa albums. Which bit in accounts should be unticked, as I have unticked 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' and 'Sync Google Photos' already, but no difference.

If I go to 'Menu' and select 'media on the device' it seems to open immediately. Is there a way I can make this the default?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I've asked this a few times myself on here. It's like it doesn't remember the settings. I don't even HAVE a Picasa album but I still get a Picasa symbol on one folder with 2 pictures in it. I really wish it wasn't there.

This is not a benchmark comparison thread, as simply put in the OP. Please create a synthetic benchmark thread for synthetic benchmark comparisons. Please read the OP before commenting. I was really hoping you were going to offer more technical information to contribute as you seem to be up to date on things. I expected more than a cut and paste "me too" synthetic benchmark from you....congrats, you can now run Antutu faster....
[Galaxy S III General] Radukk:
Thanks for info but Qualcomm's architecture is not quite following ARM's blueprint/guideline. They did huge modification on their first AP(Snapdragon 1) to push over 1GHz and it causes low power efficiency/application compatibility/heat issue compared to Sammy's legit 1Ghz Hummingbird. And for some reason Qualcomm decide to improving their mal-functioning architecture(scorpion) instead of throwing it away and their inferiority continues through all scorpion chips regardless of generation. Their only sales point and benefit was one less chip solution, and LTE band chip nowadays.

Personally I don't think S4 based on A15 architecture and it is slower than International note's exynos in many comparing benchmarks/reviews.

Exynos in GS3 is made on 32nm node, which is better than 45nm one in note. I don't think Sammy figured out yet the ideal scheduler that android system and applications to use those four core efficiently, but it will show significant performance boost over coming updates as shown on GS2 case.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
The fact both cpu's are modified versions of their ARM derived variants is captured in the OP, as is the fact that most if not all comparisons reference the 40nm Exynos as opposed to the newer 32nm process, also mentioned in the OP.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Why would windows environment even matter at this moment?

Isn't MS setting the hardware specs for the ARM version of the devices?

As for LTE compatibility, it's getting released in korean market with LTE and 2GB of RAM supposedly and this was the speculation from the beginning.
[Galaxy S III General] chrisd1a1:
spesific discussion of the processors is different to general discussion on comparison.

thread cleaned. please keep to this topic?
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
First of all, Samsung's 32nm HKMG process is superior and more power efficient than TSMC's 28nm that's being used in Krait right now, even if the feature size is slightly bigger. HKMG overall is absolutely big step in transistor leakage, and on top of that Samsung integrated a lot of low level electrical engineering tricks to lower the power usage as load biasing. The quadcore with last generation architecture is toe-to-toe with the dual-core Kraits in maximum power dissipation if you normalize for battery size as per Swedroid's tests: http://www.swedroid.se/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-recension/#batteri

And the Kraits and A15 are supposed to be much more power efficient in W/MHz, so it just proves how much of a manufacturing advantage Samsung has here.

Secondly, that paragraph about software written for A15 is absolutely hogwash. You don't write software for A15, the compiler translates it into instruction code which the A15 is equal to an A9, i.e. ARMv7-A. The only difference is the SIMD length which is being doubled/quadrupled, again something you don't really program for in most cases. A15 is mostly IPC improvements and efficiency improvements, not a new instruction set to warrant difference in software, else nothing would be compatible.

DX9.3 compliance is senseless in that regard too as until we'll need any of that the new generation of SoCs will be out so I don't know why we're even bringing this up as nobody's going to hack Windows 8 into their Galaxy S3.

I really don't see the point of this thread as half of it is misleading and the other half has no objective.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
So i am happy to make corrections when unbiased data is presented. I will look into some of your claims for myself and update accordingly but as mentioned in the OP if you would like to cite specific sources for any thing, please include links. Thank you for your input. The entire point of the thread is to document the differences because a lot of people seem to be looking at the choice as simply 4 or 2 cores and in similar fashion they gravitate to the bigger number without understanding what they are buying into. Some of your statements claim "hogwash", as mentioned I am learning myself and hope to rid the post of any hogwash asap. I for one will be trying to get Windows 8 Phone to boot on it if possible, I tried to clarify in the OP Windows Phone 8 while Windows 8 RT certainly looks to be a stretch. Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Which test on that review shows the 32nm 4412 being more efficient than the 28nm 8260 on the one s?
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
VT has nothing to do with dualbooting. That only requires a bootloader and of course the operating systems supporting sharing their space.

It might allow with a lot of work to get Android to run under WP8 or WP8 to run under Android in a virtual machine.

The most interesting feature you could achieve with VT is to have two copies of the same operating system running with their own data, cache and storage partitions each. This would allow corporta BYOD to remain more-or-less secure and enforce corporate policies on Exchange clients without requiring the user's private part of the phone to be affected by these restrictions.

However after years of development 3d performance on x86 (desktop) platforms is mediocre at best with imho Microsoft Hyper-V being the current winner.

Additionally you claim that WP8 will work on the Qualcom chip.

This is simply not true: it MIGHT work if a build for that exact SoC is produced (somewhat unlikely).

Since WP8 is closed-source and the hardware is proprietary binary too it won't be portable.

This is due to ARM not being like x86 a platform with extensible capability and plg&play support but rather an embedded system where the software has to be developed for each device individually.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
You have the full load test and the temperature, in the link that I posted. Normalize them for battery size, for example to the Asus Padphone (Or the One S for that matter, they similar in their result) at 3.7V*1520mAh = 6.1Wh and the S3 at 3.8V*2100mAh = 7.98Wh >> 30.8% increase. Nomarlize the S3's 196 minutes by that and you get 149 minutes. Take into account how the S3's screen is bigger and higher resolution and the result will be more skewed towards the S3. So basically a four core last generation at full load on all four cores is arguably toe-to-toe in maximum power dissipation to a next-generation dual core. The latter should have been the winner here by a large margin, but it is not. We know it's not due to architectural reasons, so the only thing left is manufacturing. HKMG brings enormous benefits in terms of leakage and here you can see them.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
Changed text to read

and
[Galaxy S III General] Radukk:
TSMC is struggling with their 28nm node and failed to bring up yield rate through High-K Metal Gate process, so they announced they will keep 28nm SiON for now. The problem is when node become more dense, voltage leakage rate increases geometrically. HKMG itself reduces that leakage to about 100 times less as stated by Global Foundry and Samsung. That is why 32nm HKMG is way more superior than 28nm SiON. You can easily find related article, PR data and detailed chart about this.

Physical aspect of the next ray that i want

- Same curve shape

- Small dimension (sx size is okay, just slightly bigger).

- Physical home button and button arrangement (It's better than the transparent strip of nxt series In my opinion)

- Dedicated Camera Button

It would be nice if we can have a small dedicated keyboard to plug inside micro usb slot and double as external battery/charger :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bruj4h:
Same design, more hardware.

Design makes it Ray. Not others.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ImmortAlex:
1. Same size and body shape. Even 3.5" is much bigger. And current body style is very beautiful, distinguishable.

2. 1Gb RAM, maybe faster CPU - just to run ICS smoothly. Ok, let it be two cores, just because of current marketing trends...

3. Dust and water resistant. Without that ugly yellow/orange pastic/rubber everywhere, diving ability, IP67 etc. I just want to not be afraid of rain when I'm riding my bycicle, camping, sleeping drank on the street ;)

4. Same MicroSD slot. I hate when they remove card support and put ugly 8GB of ROM inside, while my current music collection is about 10Gb. C'mon, guys, flash memory costs nothing now, why do you create such stupid limits?!

That's all. I don't need higher camera and screen resolution, better sound, camera button and so on.

Current Xperia model line doesn't contains something I can call "Ray 2.0". They do great top models, but it's too big for me. They do very interesting and fresh design, but use limited hardware (480x320 screen, limited ROM, 512 RAM...)

So Ray stays unique, stays best for my needs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duxxyuk:
I too like the Xperia SX.

If they give it a slightly more angular look like the ray has then that'd be my next phone...

I was thinking ... hmm the ray would be a lot better with MHL, 1gb Ram and NFC... Ah hello Xperia SX :-P

That said I'll be holding on to my Ray until christmas at least... Perhaps I'll take a Samsung GS3 at that time... Unless Sony sells the SX in Europe :-D

Does the SX have an Led notifier?

Yea S4 is more power efficient than Tegra 3 the only thing it bests the S4 is in its graphical capabilities
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
This is awesome to hear. At first I was bummed they changed the processor but this story exemplifies why.

The only other gripe I have about AT&T's decision making is the storage. But what can you do? I don't listen to all of my music anyways.

Not to mention the wifi (squeeze test) crap.

Glad we have the less problem ridden version here.

I've never been happier with a phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sharp2G:
I made the switch just as you did because battery life was terrible on the Tegra 3, due to a VERY outdated kernel and 40 nm?? whereas I believe the Snapdragon S4 is at 28 nm and a more recent kernel. That really does make a huge difference. I usually just text, fb, and browse the web and with auto-brightness, auto-sync and widgets on I get ~ 4 hours of use whereas on the Tegra 3 I got about < 2 hours. I was just as fed up and disappointed as you were.

Even with the s4 I don't know how you guys are pulling 4 hours. Are you using it all at once or sporadically throughout the day?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
I have been getting 4 hours of screen time since I got my one X on Saturday. Pretty consistently actually. Usually right at 4 and a half. I use it sporadically at work, usually 2 hours worth by the end of the day.

Then when I get home I do pretty much the same thing, I browse XDA while I wait for games to load on PS3 or Vita.

I do not stream music or anything.

Sync files with dropbox.

Wifi typically on.

Screen with auto brightness enabled.

Minimal game play (I have a PS Vita for that but I occasionally succumb to Words or Temple Run)

My idle time can go up pretty high if I so choose but I will only get the 4.5 hour screen time on auto. Which is good for me since that's what I got on my Atrix with the brightness at minimum most of the time
