So in 2011 we have Tegra 2, in 2012 we have Tegra 3 so my questions is what will come in 2013? Octo-core or an improved version of quad core cpus?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Well as octo core desktop CPUs havnt really caught on yet I would guess just better quad cores likely with more powerful GPUs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitin985:
Tegra 3 is already very powerful, presuming the will increase ram and make them more battery efficient or even higher clock speed. 12 core tegra gpu is pretty amazing already and anything better must be godly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-X-s:
If u mean for mobile platform , Will we really need beyond Quad core, having seen how SGSIII is smoothly running with it, beyond that what more perfection ( yaa still more can be expected) and speed u will need to do ur work . As known Android use other cores on need basis , why u need to see ur 2-3 cores never used.. i think its just more curiosity n to have more advaced/latest will be the only reason to have such high cpu on ur mobile..

What I like to see is ups in RAM installed and lows in RAM usage by system...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr_718:
Sounds like octo-mom:)..the debate.lives on.. battery vs performance...but to answer your question I think it would be hexa-core which is 6..let's wait and see what is to come...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReDDs3D:
I agree. Cores are at there peak right now. The amount of CPU power we have especially in the higher end phones is enough to acomplish many, many things. RAM is somewhat of an issue especially since multitasking is a huge part of android. I really thing a 2gb RAM should be a standard soon. Also, better gpu's won't hurt
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
If they decide to keep going on the core upgrade in the next two or so years, I see one of two possibilities happening:

1) Dual Processor phones utilizing either dual or quad cores.

or

2) Hexacore chips since on the desktop market there's already a few 6-core chips (though whether or not they would actually be practical in the phones architecture, no clue).

Generally speaking whatever they come out with next will either need a better battery material, or lower power processors.

I mean I'm pretty amazed by what my brother's HTC One X is capable of with the quad core, and here I am still sporting a single-core G2. But yes I would like to see more advancement in RAM usage, we got a nice bit of power, but how bout a standard 2GB ram for better multitasking?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varience:

hello everyone, could you tell me what is cuad core?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Quad core means that a processor has four processing units.

Because there are more, that means that a process, theoretically, gets executed 4 times faster.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lod_croc:
I'm sure it will stay at quad core cpu's, anything more is just overkill. They may introduce hyperthreading. It's going to boil down to efficiency.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigaid:
I'd say the future lies in more efficient use of processors. Right now, Android is still far from optimized on multi-core processor-equipped devices. Project Butter is the start of a great movement by Google to optimize the operating system. Hopefully it spreads out to other OEMs and becomes the main focus for Android development.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazzdar:
Improving and optimizing current processors is the way hardware companies should go.

In my opinion, processor development is out running battery development. Optimized processors could reduce power consumption while preserving excellent speed and usability.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
building processors on more efficient ARM architectures is going to be the way to go from what I see......throwing four less efficient cores at a problem is the caveman method to dealing with it.....looking at you Samsung Exynos Quad based on tweaked A9 cores.....

the A15 based Qualcomm S4 Krait is more efficient on a clock for clock core for core basis and once the software catches up and starts using the hardware in full capacity, less more efficient cores will be preferred

I dont see anything beyond quads simply because they havent even scratched the surface of what can be done with a modern dual core processor yet.......throwing more cores at it only makes excuses for poor code.....i can shoot **** faster than water with a big enough pump......but that doesn't mean that's the better solution
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
We don't need more cores! Having more than 2 cores will not make a difference so quad cores are a waste of space in the CPU die.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datwunkid:
Hyperthreading, duh.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillyard:
More ram. Got to have the hardware before the software can be made to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexu$:
With the convergence of x86 into the Android core and the streamlining of low-power Atom CPUs, the logical step would be to first optimize the current software base for multi-core processors before marketing takes over with their stupid x2 multiplying game...

Not long ago, a senior Intel exec went on record saying that today, a single core CPU Android smartphone is perhaps better overall performing (battery life, user experience, etc) than any dual/quad-core CPU. Mind you, these guys seldom if ever stick out their neck with such bold statements, especially when not pleasing to the ear...

For those interested, you can follow this one (of many) articles on the subject: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/intel-android-not-ready-for-multi-core-cpus/20746

Android needs to mature, and I think it actually is. With 4.1 we see the focus drastically shifted to optimization, UX and performance with *existing/limited* resources. This will translate to devices beating all else in battery life, performance and graphics but since it was neglected in the first several iterations, it is likely we see 4.0 followed by 4.1 then maybe 4.2 before we hear/see the 5.0 which will showcase maturity and evolution of the experience.

Just my 2c. :fingers-crossed:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Benzino:
After years of fu**ing around with cpu's and gpu's, how about to try to make a phone with at least 3 days of battery usage? We are back in 1999 were phones could last 30 hours average...

(Google Android developers):

'World haven't seen a phone with one day battery usage for a long time, lets make one. Yeeee!'

'World haven't seen a phone with crapier plastic for a long time, lets make one. Yeeee!'

'World haven't seen a phone with hanging during a call, and some buggs and lags are welcome, lets make one. Yeeee!'

(It turns out 100's of them)

Overall quality, phone endurance, design, battery endurance, bug fixing, better cameras, ergonomy, that's what should people work on, I haven't seen anyone working on his smart phone with Maya 2012 or PhotoshopCS, so nobody needs so much cores

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alonso624:
May be it's better to focus on 22nm or 18nm, in order to increase performance and improve battery life !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
Not necessarily. Unless a program is designed specifically to utilize multiple cores then having more than 1 core does almost nothing for it.

Instead, having 4 cores is more likely to allow the computer to handle 4 processes in the time that a single core processor could handle just 1.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokeey:
What's next? 14nm Cortex A15s! Probably dual-core. They'll eventually make their way to quad core and eventually x86 chips will get small enough to be put in too. Just remember, the smaller the cores are the more battery efficient they are going to be.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illmatic24:
This. I really hope some physical changes are made to the actual battery technology, perhaps a complete overhaul of the basic battery components, some kind of fuel cell technology? I don't know enough about batteries, could someone chime in on any new portable battery related advances?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapcow:
The real revolution would be lowering the price of this cheap techno gadget.

Right now producing an high end smartphone is not too much different from producing a low end phone, but the prices are too high for a cheap ARM SoC + a display and some cover.

Probably for 400$ smartphone, 10-20$ are for production costs, the rest is for the marketing, the lawyer and the brand.

This kind of devices are really priced too high, way too high considering what they are.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neyenlives:
What a negative way to view things. :(

Just a bunch of technical geeks speculating about future technology here, and to think we would have some "less than traditional" ideas...... the blasphemy!

After using my GSIII for a couple days now I can say the core increase game needs to stop unless they drastically change architecture. My dual core device hardly ever uses the second core. Quads certainly so but even less. If more cores is going to help they need to be smaller shorter execution cores that run tasks in parallel or have more specialized cores that are also scalable.

Of course none of this means anything if the OS and apps aren't going to be programmed to utilize them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
. . . really ?

Its a CPU that has 4 code executing cores to divide up the task of crunching code, it makes running a set number of tasks faster.

However its not always utilised due to coding in apps much like desktop applications only using two core in PC's.

here yopu can clearly see the 4 cores of the CPU ( the denser packed collections of transistors & logic gates)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesInsights:
You could always install a launcher similar to TouchWiz but you would never get a full TouchWiz until someone develops something like a ROM for the Galaxy Nexus similar to the Nature UX TouchWiz from the S3

It's funny how you would want TouchWiz since people get the Galaxy Nexus for the pure stock google and for fast updates xD Not to have custom interfaces like sense and touchwiz. And if you get bored with the stock interface you could always get a new launcher/ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mailboy1412:
lol. I'm TouchWiz fan as well here. It would be nice to have a TouchWiz rom. More choice for us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Touchwiz is by far the ugliest UI ever.

Sense is the most bloated and heavy UI.

MIUI makes one feel retarded, much like owning an iDevice.

Motoblur is just after Touchwiz in ugliness.

Stock android is the way to go. Otherwise, buy a device with the respective UI preinstalled.

Hi pros, I am currently running a custom rom (checkrom revohd v6) and having problems with my bluetooth. It just happened yesterday when I want to connect my device to the media speaker. It doesn't work. It connected successfully but my music doesn't play through the speaker.

So I have been doing research and found out that it has been one of my mod that I have installed through the kitchenpro and that is the Phone full modded. So my question is is there a way to maybe uninstalling the mod or install another mod to fix this issue? Any helps appreciated. Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Are you talking about when you subscribe to a thread and what not?

If so, it is in settings>notifications. Cant remember the exact buttons to look for, but it is in there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Please don't be a Debbie-Downer. It is kind of a turn-off when people see your request and then see you complaining about not getting help (especially when others have already tried to help). Rather than complain make a new post or ask again. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be patient. Lol I have a question out there that hasn't been answered in months (granted I found my answer another way)! Sometimes people don't know the answer or assume that it's already been answered when they see multiple replies.

As to answering your question... Setting up notifications didn't work for me in either the XDA app or in Tapatalk. In order to set them up I had to go to the actual website. I'm using the XDA 2013 Beta so my instructions will be for XDA 2013 Beta.

If you'd like to switch to XDA 2013 Beta go to the very bottom left of your screen. There is a dropdown box, click it and select "XDA 2013 Beta".

Now on to the rest. :)

In the top right corner or your screen select the "Control Panel" (directly below your username).

On the left side of your screen you should see a gray box that says "Settings and Options". Below that is a menu option titled "Edit Options". Select it.

Once you're in the "Edit Options" section scroll down past the first little section and you'll see the section "Messaging and Notifications". You will see many sub-options, almost all relate to different email/messaging options. Play around with the ones you want and presto! You are good to go!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
I already did that,i tried all settings in "Messaging and Notifications" before asking this question.And im on Beta 2013.Still no notifications.

I have an account on Phandroid.com and every time someone replies,thanks me or comments i get an email.

I think i had that on XDA before but not any more,it would be great if i could get it on here.

Does anyone actually receive emails for replies on xda or xda don't have this option?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
K. That's something else entirely. When you subscribe to a thread it gives you the option to be notified. There are several options in the dropdown list, I normally do immediately for the important threads. I get emails all the time.

There isn't currently a system that notifies you when someone quotes you or thanks you though.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lviv73:
Lol,i need to stop smoking.I changed my email address for XDA a while ago and wonder why im not getting emails from xda in my old email adress.

Everything is good now that i changed the email back to my old one,thanx.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
So, I have heard that motorola looks for the bloatware that came on our phones when we look for updates. That being said, will this decrease our chances on cheesecake?

I for the longest time had much of the bloatware deleted off my phone. It's half the reason I root.

Until yesterday, when I had a little developer hiccup and had to flash the fxz.

This time I am keeping the bloatware on hoping to up my chances of finding that golden ticket in cheesecake.

All this to say, How "stock" should we really be while searching cheesecake to get the best chances?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
It should not affect cheesecake. Only when you go to install the update. Im on stock waiting for ics to drop. Im leaving my phone as is for now because i know as soon as ics is released ill be like a kid on Christmas day ready to install it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Ah, kid on Christmas is right.

The good news is that hopefully whoever gets it first will be smarty enough to post it here for the rest of us also. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Bloated or not, it should have not affect the update process. In fact, I seem to remember FXZ'ing back to 2.3.5. and then rooting (jumping over the step to OTA to 2.3.6.) and checking for update after rooting. My phone found the 2.3.6. update, and I realized I had done this out-of-sequence. So, I FXZ'd again, OTA'd and then rooted. I have seen though that if you are rooted when an update appears, and after installing it, it will break root on your device. Just what I've seen/heard -for what it's worth...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Missing bloat will not have any impact on cheesecake, but it will prevent the update from actually installing once downloaded.

Motorola has checks in the OTAs to make sure that all of the bloatware is still on the phone, it does not give a crap about anything else, just that the bloatware is installed, and that you are listed as being on a stock ROM/build in the build.prop file.

Again all of this has noting to do with a cheesecake check since it is just logging into Motorola servers and doing a search for any update files for the edison phones (it gets that from your build.prop). If you have changed your phone to show as some other phone in the build.prop then change it back as that will make cheesecake not work properly.
