I have seen several people ask. In fact I did myself a couple of weeks ago. I have not seen him answer. Do you have a link?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rakeshchn:
The pricing and this is driving me towards international version. But 2 Gb ram....hmm. What to do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bradycl_84043:
Have now read both supercurios tweet (which says it isn't a WM1811, but doesn't say it isn't a Wolfson) and http://samsunggalaxyandroid.net/2012/06/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-att-and-t-mobile-review/ which specifically says that it *is* a WM1811.

Why is it so damned hard to get info on exactly what DAC is in this thing?

Anyone definitively know what make and model DAC is in the T-999?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
Because it just came out today and availability is limited?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stonew5082:
I wish there was a way to see with a info app but they don't show it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
I don't know what stock will tell you, but on my Vibrant:

$ adb shell dmesg
<snip>
<3>[ 3250.236034] [ wm8994_samsung.c (wm8994_resume,3362) ] ------WM8994 Revisio
n = [3]-------

Not too difficult (assuming the driver advertises itself).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
The S4 doesn't have a DAC built in, it has a DSP built in. Hopefully someone clears the air soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
Apparently the phone has the Wolfson WM8994.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
I hate to break the bad news, but the "normal" Galaxy S3 and the various US S3 devices are all different. They look the same, they act the same, but the insides are completely different.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
I think completely different is stretching it. It's the SoC and amount of RAM so far. Everything else is unconfirmed at this point.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
SoC, amount of RAM, GPS receiver, modems... Testing revealed drastically different audio characteristics. Is it really a stretch?

Granted, they did use the same WiFi receiver...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
Any hands on confirmation to be found?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ge3kswag:
As i said earlier, it was already confirmed it did have it. Here is the review confirming it.

http://samsunggalaxyandroid.net/2012/06/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-att-and-t-mobile-review/

"On that note, you should know that this device works with the Wolfson Micro WM1811 DAC onboard for fabulous audio output and is also able to work apt-X Bluetooth device – that’s quality sound!"

This review is for the US Tmobile and AT&T version
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
That seems like good news to me. I'm still puzzled how GSM Arena could have found that the audio output was different on the International model vs some of the stateside ones. Both variants measured differently with their testing equipment...whatever that means.

My .02 is that this review you've linked is incorrect and that we'll find out that the stateside GSIII doesn't actually have the Wolfson DAC. I really hope I'm incorrect though.

Worst case scenario the phone will sound nice at least and it still supports USB OTG. We will find some external USB DAC's that will work which will be so friggin sweet.

All of this is just for the sake of conversation, so don't take anything too seriously.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ibous:
For whatever it's worth I got a quick take in the first impressions thread that includes my initial impressions of the audio in the device. Bottom line is I feel it sounds good enough.

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-rezound-verizon/software-updates!!

The ICS update is official. The download links aren't up on the site afaik, but the update is there. Someone who is stock should check for the update in Setttings>About phone>Software update

HTC has taken down the update from their site, and replaced it with the old GB OTA from January :( I have uploaded a screenshot I took while it was up because I knew this would happen lol. Now u can't say I'm a liar ;)
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Aww yeah Aww yeah

ReZound
[HTC Rezound] smartens82:
Nothing for me
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Maybe not yet, but it's on HTC's site so it's CLOSE :D
[HTC Rezound] smartens82:
I've been holding out for the official ota, hope it's soon
[HTC Rezound] con247:
The leak we just got is the same software # and baseband so my rom is now the OTA :)
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nice nice, woot, now let's get source!
[HTC Rezound] hopesrequiem:
Glad I'm running it then haha
[HTC Rezound] ZenPirate:
I'm currently stock, but s-off. Would I see it in OTA when released? Just curious if I should keep checking :D
[HTC Rezound] IrvChynaman:
+1!
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Finally. Who wants to take bets on how many "ics is official" threads pop up?

I wanna say 4.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yes you will see it.

If someone could upload the ota package that would be awesome. Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1701460
[HTC Rezound] Ragnell:
FINALLY MY BODY IS READY.

Gonna go with 6
[HTC Rezound] con247:
4-6 would be a good guess.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Hopefully just one ;)
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Source is commmmming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Keep dreaming.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Awesomeness comes as soon as source is released :)
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
i got $10 on 5!! btw kernel source NOAW htc!!!
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Amen
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Right on. VZW can seem like such a tyrant at times....
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
well HTC shouldn't make promises they can't keep then
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
If we have an msm8660 chip, why cant we just use the HTC msm8660 common on like cyanogenmods github? Just curious.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I think you probably can, IDK about for ICS or anything, but for GB it might
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
4g/gsm
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
i do but that common doesnt have to do with ril not even a full device tree
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
But we're getting gsm ;)
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
So close I can tast some ice cream sandwhich...

The delay only begs me to ask this..... Has the update melted so that is why they won't release it....
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
^hahahahahahha

You sir just earned your first "thanks"
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Ooooooh, I get it... melted :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Maybe that's why Cyanogenmod ...Freezes their code before they update it
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
Could be.... Now I am on ics leak and now want some jelly bean as board with a year old ics....
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That was supposed to be a joke... They were talking about the update melting is why they haven't released it yet, so I said that's why cm freezes their code. It's a bad pun but I thought u guys would get it
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Dang, I hate it when my pun detector shuts down.
[HTC Rezound] rezoundness:
What puns can we use for jellybean?
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
Don't know, but I think Verizon traded their magic beans for a cow.

Wait, that doesn't even make sense.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
No you're right that made no sense
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
I think many of you guys are realizing that HTC is doing extremely bad in terms of profit even after they released the One X. I think they have other **** to worry about right now then updating a poorly advertised phone that

probably

did not help in profits at all.

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...y-down-amid-weak-demand-for-one-range-1088233
[HTC Rezound] jmichaels1982:
they did that to themselves

They are losing customers because they have terrible update schedules, phones that are locked down and source codes that are not being released. How many you think after all the horrible stunts they pulled with the rezound will go for htc again.

We had to deal with locked bootloader

Then we had to deal with s-on

and now we are dealing with no ics kernel source and RIL issues

Dont spin the argument that the majority of people dont care, thats BS. Yes The majority of people dont know how to root and s-off but they take their phones to people that do, and the first thing they hear is "oh no HTC is becoming harder to root, why didn't you get a samsung"
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Check for updates is not ever connecting today. I also got a VZNavigator update that will not install today.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
Actually Samsung isn't any better. They won't release the wifi drivers for my tablet so their is almost zero development and 8 months later we are still waiting on the ICS update to drop that they promised in Q1. Everyone in that device forum says it's the last Samsung device they will ever buy. Sound familiar?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
This is why Google makes Nexus devices
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
They just need to make one that's worthy of the name. The nexus is the flagship of Android and they have all been far from perfect mostly the Samsung ones... I'll probably be buying the next one even if it isn't the best, and has crappy radios :gulp: HTC or moto needs to make the next one not Samsung again, they fail too hard on CDMA/LTE radios.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Maybe HTC. Better Samsung than moto
[HTC Rezound] Antoine.WG:
Unless Google twists Motorola's arm and they stop locking bootloaders, HTC would be the better choice. Their screens and cameras are better anyways. Damn I miss my Nexus One. It's a shame T-Mo's data service was sub-par at my house and at work.
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
False.

The reason why they're losing people is because they are not advertising their phones. Ask any person if they've heard of the Samsung galaxy s3 compared to the HTC One X..

Even though the galaxy s3's bootloader is locked on verizon, it still beats any phone on verizon being purchased. It's not because of software updates. People don't care. I have many friends that are on gingerbread and dont even know what ICS is. It's which phone is the most popular. Think iPhone's marketing.
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
Not all true either with the first part.. I am constantly seeing a One X commercial with the guy that runs forever and ends up at a wind mill farm listening to his beats music. Rest is all true :D

sent from my Slim HTC ReZound :D
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
But the Galaxy S3 has ads everywhere from TV, to YouTube, to this site, Google, etc. HTC ads are pretty rare actually
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yup HTC straight sucks at advertising their phones... Idk about over seas, but here... It's bad lol... I saw maybe 2 rezound commercials(the same one twice) that were all about the most bogus part of the whole phone... Beats... Not focusing on the amazing screen, excellent signal strength, dual core cpu, lots of memory and a pair of 100 dollar head phones included... I've only seen two commercials on the ONE series... One is of the sky diving camera thing that's just silly.. (that I've only seen in Starcraft 2 advertisements on tournament streams), the other is on a tmobile one that doesn't even talk about the phone... Lol commercial fail.

Now I've seen two commercials for the GS3 multiple times ... Both were very very good at showcasing the phone itself (you know the thing you actually buy) not the camera in some BS stupid scenario and the gemmic iBeats that doesn't even sound good.. Comaritively Samsung commercials blow HTCs out of the water... Not even the same league.

HTC puts out some great stuff... But for some reason they don't advertise it well... Meaning no one knows or cares.
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
I drive past that windmill farm every day on my way to and from work.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Serious? That's awesome!

Where is this from?
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
I think droid life tweeted it today
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
I would really like to see the percentage of phones sold vs the percentage that cares about their phones being rooted, unlocked, etc. I bet it isn't as BS as you would think. Think about all the moms, dads, grandparents, etc of people that just buy the phone, use it, and never really even digs in to figure out everything that it CAN do out of the box. I bet we are a huge minority, but a lot of people like to think that the rooting/modding/hacking community is a strong huge driving force that the phone manufactures better listen to or I'm going to another product RAWR!!. Lol
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Power users for anything are usually the minority. Whether it be phones or computers, the amount of power users is nowhere near the amount of normal consumers / users.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Well look at it this way... How many people have accounts on xda? Like 4.5 million? How many people have cell phones? Like.. a billion? Lol and if 60+ percent are android... We r just a fraction of a percent. Spread across how many android manufacturers? say almost almost 10? And how many can't even be rooted or unlocked, and how many have no developer support?

But I kind of get the feeling that, because more and more younger people are getting cell phones, the numbers have increased a tad and nay continue to increase
[HTC Rezound] recDNA:
Could VZW be holding up ICS because it allows you to freeze their bloatware?
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
you'll notice there is no date yet for the OTA push so could still be months as slow as verizon seems to be
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I'm not sure cuz i'm old and i didn't have my glasses on, but I think it said week of 7/24/12:D

EDIT: okay...I see what you're talking about...but it should be this week.
[HTC Rezound] 77Pat:
Those who just buy the phones often ask for advice/opinions from the power user.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
And then turn around and buy a piece of i****
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I was going to say the same thing lol.
[HTC Rezound] kenny032896:
when i check for updates it just glitches and goes back to the status/check new screen.... :confused:
[HTC Rezound] snow580:
I am also having that happen. This is on my certified replacement I just received Tuesday. Still bone stock too. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] Jadedge:
It's a good news, but I cann't find the same webpage as your.:crying:
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
That may be, but I wonder how many actually do that for other people? I sure as hell wouldn't. I know what it means.

1) If somehow the phone bricks - your fault no matter how you explain the risks to them

2) You become their 24x7 go to guy for supporting every little problem they have with their device - screw that! I would bet that a lot of people would do what I do and just not offer up doing that for someone because of this issue alone.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Maybe that means they are prepping the update?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
By prepping you mean adding bloatware right?
[HTC Rezound] kenny032896:
Probably or they are waiting for the razr's. Roll out to be done
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
They already have the update ready, they are just sitting on it waiting for some reason... Not sure why
[HTC Rezound] mgabriel2:
When I try to check for new Software - It just hangs and doesnt do anything more - I see the 4G show it data for a moment then it stops ... Hope this means the update is soon
[HTC Rezound] mtotho:
This thread reminds me of the excitement you had when you were a little kid in elementary school and there is a forecast for snow later that day, but there is always the kids and adults who were really pessimistic about it and doubted it would be enough to get a snow day the next day... Then you would stay up late hitting refresh on the weather.com browser ensuring the forecast still looked good.. you were sure of the eminent snow day ... And after all that you only got a delayed opening womp womp
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
Reboot. It won't do that anymore. Same happened to me
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Hey who made the rating on this thread go so far down? :(
[HTC Rezound] wrarvoz:
Weather.com? Checking for a snow day on your browser? I feel old.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
That's what I was thinking too... lol.

I didn't start doing that until late HS.. I always stayed up watching the local news / weather channel for cancellations lol. That scrolling bar across the bottom of the screen announcing late starts / closings.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Didnt have the Internet until I was in the army. How did I survive?
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Lol. I remember when I was a junior in high school and my stepfather got his first cell phone. Cellular One was the provider I think, and it looked really similar to this:

[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I think an RUU is literally the entire system and all partitions and files, whereas the OTA probably only contains what actually needs updating, in order to save data and to lessen the possibility of a corrupt download. This might explain why the OTA is about half the size of the typical RUU..
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
^^what he said. we kinda knew this for a while too lol idk why people still thought it wouldb e a 600mb OTA
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
someone else might start one and we would be SOL....
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I think people are just assuming that going from GB -> ICS requires new versions of just about every file. It has been discussed, but I can understand why some people would think this way..

Its still kinda huge though, considering the 4.0.4 AOSP ROM that I run on my tf101 is only 97MB in size..
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Most people probably think this, but not alot of stuff needs to be changed.
