[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
Don't know if there's already one. Noticed the galaxy s3 and even my brother's crappy evolution design has one so I'm wondering if this is possible for our phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Not without the hardware, for some reason it was left out of usa versions of S2. Tune in radio app is an acceptable substitute for live fm stations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Tune in radio and iheart radio combined will get you most radio stations. Don't know why Samsung left it out.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] whc:
Cannot figure out why my picasa images does not show up in gallery, have synced google account, and selected images to be synced with the account, still nothing shows up in gallery, any solution to this?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
That "picasa" sync option you talk about is in only available in the GoogleGallery.apk (not in the one originally released by Huawei).

Try the attached APK that I have extracted it for you from here:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

You will end up with two Gallery applications, so "deactivate" or "uninstall" the old one (smaller in size).

Hope you can install this independently from the rest. Try it !

If it doesn't work this way you can manually replace the complete "gapps" package above (need "root" privileges) or if you want to make it easier flash my HWMOD C232B005 firmware which have that feature included and tested working :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] whc:
Is the standard gallery in hmp should work with Picasa,anyway tried the apk but cannot install the file.

Pretty strange I think, working fine on my phones...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
It works flawlessly on my phone and tablet too.

The problem is with the GAPPS versions, there is only one version that has a working "GoogleBackupTransport" (used to sync various Google applications).

Installing the complete gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip will grant you success.

At this point I have no other suggestion other than installing HWMOD C232B005 which already comes with that functionality installed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lugz:
Was given an Inspire tonight, and want to start using it with a prepaid plan. I WANT to use T-Mobile's $30 4g Monthly plan, but unfortunately I'll be stuck with 2g speeds, and that's not going to work.

After doing some research on different prepaid carriers, it appears as though Straight Talk is my best option. But even that has a bit of a caveat, since I want to stream Spotify regularly, and don't want to get kicked off and locked from my number because of the stupid TOS.

So, is there a better option than Straight Talk for data on prepaid carriers?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
I think Straight Talk or AT&T prepaid are the only two of your options...
[HTC Inspire 4G] shopealope:
I use simple mobile but that would mean you have to use edge which is unfortunate... Other than that there isn't much that hasn't a decent plan for the money that I've seen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] J-ROCK:
Straight Talk. I heard you get about 3-4 mbps , and about a 2-3 gig throttle.
[General Topics] whitecrane:
The legendary Exynos (formerly Orion) we all read so much about a year and a half ago has been on store shelves for quite some time now. While SAMSUNG continues to develop the Exynos architecture - I don't see it catching on to other phones.

Plenty of phones sold by SAMSUNG don't even use the Exynos. It was even stripped from the T-Mobile version of the GS2...

So, is it a complete failure? Should we expect SAMSUNG to just stop development after the GS3 is released worldwide?
[General Topics] Nick281051:
Umm, how about no?
[General Topics] Ryukeima:
I hope Samsung will continue to develop their architecture because from what I have seen, it is quite powerful. So do I think it was a complete failure? No.

The thing these days is that it is probably easier and cheaper for companies to just use each other's technology, like the Tegra or TI series, than invest in their own R&D. The majority of phone users are not power users and do not care about specs. If it works well then that is good enough. It is not about pushing boundaries for some.
[General Topics] marcocore:
Exynos is actually one of the best SoC's a phone can have (subject to debate). Samsung doesn't put Exynos in every phone because it's a high-end SoC, so they use it in high-end devices such as the Galaxy S line and the Galaxy Note. Apple's Ax processors are even based on Exynos.

The T-Mobile Galaxy S II, as well as all US Galaxy S III's, have Snapdragons because Exynos does not support LTE nor T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 and 84 Mbps technology, which US carriers strive to make available to customers. Samsung is working on supporting LTE in future Exynos chips though!

As for other manufacturers not implementing Exynos, I'm just going to make an assumption that Samsung's competitors (Motorola, HTC, etc.) would rather use Nvidia, TI, or Qualcomm's chips instead since they don't sell phones.

So no, Exynos isn't a complete failure at all if you ask me!
[General Topics] whitecrane:
But didn't anyone else think that they would be more common by now?

What does the wireless band have to do with SOC? Can't this SOC run any algorithms we want it to?

To me, that's like telling someone they need an AMD CPU to use DSL, and an Intel CPU if they want FiOS. Isn't it just a matter of writing a program to do something?
[General Topics] ferrocene:
Radio hardware consists of physical transistors. We're not quite at software-defined radio yet.

You DO need different hardware to run DSL vs fios. If Intel built DSL hardware onto its CPU, then you're starting to understand what a SoC is.
[General Topics] marcocore:
Right. Computers aren't built with DSL/FIOS/VDSL/etc. modems in them. That's why we use a DSL modem box and connect to it via ethernet. However, the Exynos SoC has a modem integrated on to it that supports certain bands and technologies. The Snapdragon SoC found in the GS2 and US GS3s does not contain an integrated modem, so there is a modem chip separate on the motherboard that supports the carrier's bands and technologies.

There's a bit of a gray area with this though. Sprint's GS2 has a WiMax modem built onto it even though it still has an Exynos chip. Why we don't do that for LTE and T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42/84 is something I'd like to know lol.
[General Topics] Shammyh:
Wow. Short-sighted/simple-minded enough? :silly:

1) Exynos is not a failure. It's been shipped in literally millions of phones. In-house consumption alone probably makes it one of the most popular SoC's on the market right now.

2) Samsung is the world's largest manufacturer of phones. I doubt they even have the fabrication facilities to make enough Exynos chips to put in all the phones they make. Also remember that although Samsung Semiconductor and Samsung Mobile are both owned by Samsung Electronics, they don't always have completely overlapping goals or business interests. And Samsung Semiconductor is also busy making many other things... like the SoC for the iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S. Or say the vast share of the world's NAND chips.

3) Samsung has a vested stake in not relying totally on another SoC manufacturer for all their phones. It allows them better leverage with other SoC companies, and prevents them from being "blackmailed" by any one company as a source of mobile CPUs. Even if they only shipped the Exynos in 5% of their devices, it would be enough to help leverage Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, etc.

4) While many of the U.S. variants of Samsung phones don't have the Exynos chip, that's mostly for technical reasons (lack of LTE support in the currently released chips), and probably also partially to increase total yield of produced phones. That's just the U.S. market. There is in fact a world outside the United States, with people, and people who buy phones.

So... long story short: The Exynos is not a failure. And I very much doubt Samsung will be dropping development anytime soon.
[General Topics] Divine_Madcat:
Moving this to a correct board (nothing to do with the AT&T SII)...
[General Topics] whitecrane:
This is exactly what I was talking about. When something is missing you simply add it on, as with anything else in computing. I just hope this doesn't go the way of Glide from 3dfx.

Anyway, I'm more "put at ease" with the responses here. Thanks xda.
[General Topics] densetsu86:
OK here's my understanding. First all quad core processors are having issues with lte. Second SoC stands for system on a chip. Its how cell phones are so small and thin. But for some reason they are not playing nice to gether. Now Samsung was able to release a variant of sgsiii with its quad core and lte in korea because they kept them separate. But because of this the phone is a little bit thicker then usual.

So they did treat it like a PC and added it like a pci card for desktops. If that helps you understand.

The overall goal is to get it all on one chip. That way it eats up less power and slims down your phone but it is not yet possible. It is being looked into.
[General Topics] tbaker077:
That's not true any more seeing as the Korean GSIII will have a quad core Exynos and LTE.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
It was true until Samsung produced their new chip within the past month. A quad core exynos with LTE capabilities.

So, his statement as to why t-mobile didn't use the exynos in the GSII and GSIII is 100% correct.
[General Topics] whitecrane:
As I understand more, I have more concerns. Let me just say, I know what a SOC is. I'm not that much of a newbie.

I must wonder why the Exynos couldn't handle the T-Mobile HSPA+ network... It's just not that special. It's just 3G on steroids, and from what I see in the real world benchmarks, it is only a hair faster than AT&T's inferior on paper HSPA+ network. I realize it is a technical limitation (by design?), but wonder why SAMSUNG wasn't able (willing?) to design the Exynos SOC to accept it without a magic modem.

I also wonder how serious SAMSUNG is about Exynos if they're ignoring T-Mobile (shipping their flagship phone with an inferior SOC), and completley ignoring LTE up to only recently in one device that will only sell in one market. If SAMSUNG is serious about Exynos, I would think they woulod at least make it available in every market, accepting every type of radio. Traditional 3G, Wimax (we still have a huge Wimax network in the states that isn't going anywhere soon), LTE, and HSPA+. Does any other SOC standard have radio limitations?

I do not expect SAMSUNG to bundle a seperate modem outside the SOC in every market. In fact, I would think they would only do that in Korea and Japan, where they will likely sell more Exynos devices.

I have one more huge concern then. The GS2 i777 was phased out of most AT&T stores (corporate and otherwise) within 2 months of its release in favor of the GS2 "Skyrocket" with its far inferior SOC. Didn't that thing ship with a SOC based on the Cortex A8? Not even an A9?

It almost seems like my carrier did not want me to have a Galaxy S2 (with an Exynos, anyway). I bought mine on clearance at Best Buy... for $50. Within a month of its release, best buy was selling it for just $50 with a contract renewal - down from $200 just a month sooner? I think they wanted to get ride of the GS2 asap so they could order more Skyrockets.

I just don't think companies are taking Exynos seriously in the USA. Ignoring T-Mobile, ignoring Verizon. The only thing they have done right?? Sprint. Adding the Wimax modem without adding bulk to the phone was a brilliant move. That's how they're gonna sell this thing.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
When it comes to the carrier they don't care about the hardware, because 99% of the consumers have no clue what exynos, snapdragon or tegra mean. What the normal consumer can comprehend is "Hey, this skyrocket has faster internet". So, LTE has become the selling factor.
[General Topics] whitecrane:
Fair enough, I agree with you. But why clearance the GS2? My market has no LTE, and probably won't for years to come.

My post above this has been edited quite a bit... in case you want to give it a second read... it's entirely related to the subject matter here.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Yup, but the previous generation exynos processors were not compatible with the AWS frequencies which T-mobile uses. That is why there has never been a T-mobile phone with an exynos. The Skyrocket and the T-mobile GS2 were in production at the same time, so it just seemed right to make 2 of the same exact phone (radios can be flashed on both to work on either network) to save money. Then, AT&T (through the eyes of the average consumer) had a GSII that gets slow internet, and a GSII that gets fast internet. They had to phase one out...it just happened to be the I777. It really makes sense from a business stand point, considering chips are so good these days that one can hardly tell a difference between a snapdragon or an exynos, or even quad core from dual core.
[Desire HD General] artov:
I am experiencing an extreme battery drain issue in where the original HTC battery discharges from 100% to 0% in a couple of hours.

So a couple of days ago all of a sudden my phone started overheating. I rebooted it as I thought it might get rid of some excessive CPU usage from an unknown app, but that is not the case. I downloaded quick system info to get an idea of the CPU usage but it seems very normal, idling around 9%.

Then I did a full wipe and flashed the version 8.2 of Ice Cold Sandwich. My radio is also the most recent XX_28. Battery calibration has been done too. Pretty much all the capabilities software-wise don't seem to work.

When idling the phone consumes 630ma according to battery monitor. It gets very hot both while in idle, under load and while charging (45 degrees).

I tried my backup battery which has not been used before. It is a cheap one from Ebay just to test if the original battery has failed. But exactly the same problems occur.

For me it's pretty clear that there is not much left software-wise to do. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I had the same problem. I tried loads of things, in the end I had to send it back to my carrier and turns out there was a fault.

This got solved folks. I used AAHK in order to install an HTC rom and to put S-ON. Then I returned it to HTC. They sent me a new device and a new battery. Great service considering the fact that I couldn't find the invoice when I bought it. But they still accepted the device based on the serial number.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unrefine:
I was sending a movie to my phone and figured instead of plugging it in I would just pair it with my laptop. So I did and got 14-50kb/s. It had an estimated finish time of 400-800 minutes transferring 1.25g of data. What am I doing wrong or is bluetooth a whole lot suckier than I was lead to believe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The Galaxy Nexus should be capable of ~24Mbps over Bluetooth, however, that's also dependent on the Bluetooth module in your laptop. Also, Bluetooth is a wireless technology using the 2.4GHz band (like just about everything, including WiFi) meaning that other wireless devices/networks/etc can interfere with data transfer. Even the oldest Bluetooth standard should be able to transfer data at up to 700Kbps. Still, lots of other bottlenecks can get in the way. Keep in mind that the 24Mbps speed is only possible with full Bluetooth 3.0 devices which actually use 802.11 WiFi for data transfer. Bluetooth devices that don't use this standard have a max transfer rate of 2.1Mbps with Bluetooth 2.0 and 2.1. My suggestion is to stick to transferring files over USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I wouldn't xfer too large of files over BT. As the poster above said, there's a lot of bottlenecks that slow it down. Just not fast enough.

For example when I Bluetooth internet tether to my MacBook Pro, I can maybe pull 2mbps down/up, whereas when I WiFi tether, I can do the full 8-10mbps down / 3-4mbps up.

if your laptop and phone is on the same wifi, you can use wifi file transfer, airdroid or similar apps to transfer files. its much faster. (i see 5-6mb/s)
