[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
Well, true.

Before the release there were some rumors about the dual-core 5512 (I may not have the right number) powering the Note 2. I guess Samsung wants to keep it for the next year.

I guess Samsung's strategy is to have the same internals for their flagship Galaxy S series and the Galaxy Note series. If they release a device within a few months, and with better internal hardware than its 'main' flagship, its sales will suffer, come next year. By using the same internals, it probably also cuts down on their development time.

Since the Note has sold as much or more than flagship devices from other Android vendors, it has become Samsung's secondary flagship (so to speak). I see them carrying on this tradition of offering two phones with the same chassis (CPU/RAM) but with different bodies (4.8"/5.5").

Going with better internals on the Note would pi$$ off their GS buyers (even if they have no intention of considering a 5.5" device).
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I understand their strategy, but I don't understand people, why are they donating companies with so much money for similar hardware, they already have, just slightly improved. What is better on Note 2, comparing to Note? Doubled cores (almost the same) and doubled memory. Or S2 comparing to S3? Only number of cores.

Not much real performance upgrade for everyday usage, but high price again.

But I cannot wait for comparison of performance and price of LG Optimus G with S3 or Note2.

Rumors say sprint might turn a blind eye to it due to the iphone5

**** apple the iphone is trash and im leaving sprint if we don't get the note

The pen bro.

All about the fact that it will be like my drawing tablet
[Motorola Photon 4G] prezmater:
I am sure you really hurt Sprints feelings. I have a two upgrades coming up, I will be getting a new Android and the new iPhone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
How many Photon owners would like to see similar features in the Note 2?

[1] Global SIM

[2] Kickstand

[3] Camera button

Personally I would want the Camera button the most, followed by the global SIM slot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Dude I seriously love sprint for its service. But the photon and s3 are its only good phones. I never likes apple much due to the small screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
I really like the note 2 but my next phone will probably be the s3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Devil'sRival:
I'm trying to talk my wife into upgrading from her evo shift to the note 2 so I can play with it. :D

I like the photon but the video I saw made me consider buying one outright instead of waiting till next August for my upgrade. The pen is cool but being able to watch a movie and browse the net or whatever at the same time would be awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
I owned a Photon and because Sprint did not have good data service in my area I have decided to switch to ATT and got the Galaxy Note 1. I can tell you this, the phone is big at first but if you tell me to go back to the smaller size.... I will say forget it. This phone is good and function as a tablet itself. Performance wise, everything is good but compare to Photon's reception, and GPS performance, I would said Motorola is better. It does not mean the Note is bad... Note works well but not as good as Photon in some indoor areas. My next upgrade will be Nokia WP8, I am waiting for the next Lumia and skip the up coming one. By the end of next year the OS should get more mature, Nokia will come with new hardware, probably get edge to edge screen and better camera.

Hi guys I'm planning to buy an 32gb class 10 sd card and want 2 know that does this effect the performance of the phone in any way ?????????

And any suggestions for the best sd card????????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apisfires:
No, if have maybe minimum effects
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeke125:
Hi.. before i was using a cheap sdcard on my i9000 and i9100 and it did caused some lag.. hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
It affects the performance this much |_| ...you decide.

Your card might be a class whatever. The output of:

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

and

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb

affect the read ahead performance however. The card by itself is a load of old ****.

Ignore the people who have bought themselves a big waste of money.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Paul:
Huge difference. Stupid serial access synthetic benchmarks as detailed above are of no relevance. Of course faster access medium is better. Like the difference between an HD and an ssd. Anyone saying otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
Balls.

Proof of any measurable positive impact on an SIII from such a card? Not waffle... proof.

Good luck with that. I have a 32Gb Class 10... no difference whatsoever from a poxy class 2 2Gb card.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Paul:
Don't be ridiculous. Why not go on and argue that a 2mhz processor is just as good as a 1.4ghz quad core one? Simple logic and a very minor understanding of science will confirm it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
I edited my post as you were posting...

Where is your proof though :p

I'm not holding my breath though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Paul:
Rubbish. Of course a class 2 card is slower than a class 10. Proof? Look at any benchmark or try it yourself. Your argument is akin to arguing that a car with a top speed of 100mph and 0 to 60 of 20 seconds is just as fast as one with a top speed of 200mph and a 0 to 60 of 5 seconds. Get a grip. God there are some muppets on this forum....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazdevi:
It was to my understanding that a class 2 means that it will at least write at 2MB/s. It is by all means not limited to 2MB/s. Am I wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
The card doesn't control the read-write rate. The ROM does.

You are correct though. Example: A Lamborghini will do, let's say 180 mph... but the driver may never go above 50.

EDIT: I'm looking forward to seeing Dr Pepper's stats and data though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krustymk:
Are we talking about the speed of the card or how the speed of the card effects the phone performance?

2 completely different subjects
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
Exactly!

The thread is about the latter, that's what I am talking about. I've no idea what Dr Zeus is on about though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShannonAUT:
Anything above class 4 is a waste of money for me. (class 4 is sufficient for HD recording.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail77:
So in between this argument what do u guys think what should i do should i go for class 2 card or a class 10 ????????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
It doesnt affect the performance because all if the phones data is stored in its internal Card which is much faster than any external card
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
See.. Cards performance will only be affected if you store game Data on the extsdcard.. Even then class 4 would be good enough.. If you don't want to buy class 10 buy a class 4 sdcard.. You won't notice any major speed differences

Sent from someone in the Milky Way
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonaz100:
If you're recording hd video onto your card then you'll be better off with a class 10. Other than that, it won't affect the performance of your phone at all if you get a slower card.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric-filth:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warutv:
I've had lags+stutters while recording video at 1080 and superfine quality directly to my class 6 SD card. Those videos were quite long (10-15 min).

Changing storage location to phone memory removes all the lags. I'm planning to change mine to class 10 soon. ;)

Other than this, I don't see any real performance issue with lower class sd card; at least for me anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
remember. the class rating only pertains to the minimum write speed. it has nothing to do with read speed.

it also does not tell you that card's actual performance, only that it will atleast write at that class speed. Sandisk is known to undervslue their card's class and people have been showing benchmarks of class 4 cards writing at 10mb/s on average.

another thing to note is the fact that 32gb class 10 cards aren't prohibitively expensive anymore. infact I just bought one for 24.99 @ frys. go figure.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricksIII:
I had a 16 GB class4 sd-card, now I have 16gb class10 card and I must say the quality is much better for hd recording!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chillz88:
Does class of a card matter if you are planning to use the external to internal sd swap mod on it???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
At this case I wouldn't recommend something below class 6, because all your external app data is also stored there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
In my experience putting ANY card in will slow the phone down a little. This is undoubtedly a ROM issue, but there are obvious reasons. The phone periodically checks or accesses the card in a number of ways, this introduces extra work it wouldn't do if the card wasn't there, and yes it CAN create lag.

As long as the card is capable of producing or accepting data at a rate that an app needs it to it wont make much difference to the data you store on it. HD recording needs a fast card, but little else does.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail77:
I think sd card also effects the booting time of the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfish_001:
it does - the right card depends on what you plan on using it for

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2011-sd-cards/benchmarks,125.html

Small files vs large files - for video I go class 10 but for general use I think even class 2/4 would be fine
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohail77:
For saving game data that to a lot........what do u think
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfish_001:
for large files (e.g camera) sequential performance is more important that random access. I'd guess that the games data is fairly large files so I'd probably go for a san disk class 10

As some of you know CM has updated how the mms app operates. It now has a pop up function as well as a wake function for your screen. I found this link while snooping around since I am partial to inverted apps.

I have attached apk and zip file for those that want to complete their inverted look or start one

Mms.apk - push to system/app/ and set permissions

zip file is flashable

have fun guys!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I dont have any screenshot but this is what you do you extract your Mms.apk from your phone now and download the zip file. Now if you dont like how it looks just place your current mms.apk in the zip and replace the inverted one then reflash it to get yours back. 5 minute process tops...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] laura.lucille:
Hey guys, this might have already been answered, but I did quite a few searches on a few E4GT forums about cameras & photo quality after flashing ROMs & found nothing, so I need to ask.

I flashed Wicked Sensations over the weekend, & last night I discovered that the photo quality is terrible!! I got the E4GT because I know that it takes great photos, among MANY other reasons. My boyfriend & I saw Shinedown in May & when we compared photos after the concert, my EVO 4G pics were TERRIBLE in comparison to his GS2 pics!! I realize that the E4GTs aren't the exact same as the GS2s, but I figured the cameras could compare, & the pics I took before flashing the ROM were pretty good. Then again, I didn't have many "before & afters" to compare, because I flashed the day after I got the phone. I thought it was just lighting or the fact that I had zoomed in, but I tried this morning when it was brighter, & no change. Plus my boyfriend zooms in on his phone & his pics still look great. And if it makes a difference, he's been flashing ROMs since he got his phone, & his pics have never changed-so maybe it is just my phone...?

If you're wondering why I'm not posting on the Wicked Sensations forum, it's because it's now closed. I did search there first to see if anyone else had the same problem & couldn't find anything.

Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Its the same camera apk that is in a stock rom and most of the other roms. Not sure why it would be different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] laura.lucille:
Ok, thanks! I love this ROM, so I was really hoping it wasn't that, cause even looking at the other ones is upsetting... I got used to this one real fast-the battery life is great, speed is phenomenal, especially coming from the EVO 4G... I could go on & on about this one! lol Not to mention I can't seem to find too many FH13 based ROMs without too many glitches that really appeal to me. You did a great job on it!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dazednconfused:
Thank you very much, I appreciate you saying that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
I would try reflashing the rom ,that may fix it. Its unusual for cameras to be affected by a Rom. Try reflash or clean your camera lens, it happened to me once, pepperoni grease.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Well, it won't let me post in the official thread so I'm forced to put it here.

I recently installed the Team EOS Jelly Bean nightly (Stingray MZ602) their gapps, and reflashed the ICS radio as recommended using Rogue Recovery. Things have been working well except the WiFi. It tends to cut out randomly. It will be connected yet not transmit or receive. I have to turn it off and on frequently in order for it to work. No, it's not the router or my network. I am hoping for a solution other than going back to ICS.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesamothman:
First thing I would do is to full wipe and format /system

And flash twrp recovery that is advised as stable flasher.

Then redownload the ROM and gapps and make sure check sum is OK,

Then flash and reboot.

This way, you would id the source of your issue, ROM bug or recovery flasher? Cuz I know other guys face no issues like yours with twrp. Worth to try. Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
The twrp page hasn't been updated since April and the project itself hasn't been updated since October of 2011. How can you be sure that it'll work with the radio zip better than Rogue? Or even the Team EOS JB build?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesamothman:
Twrp is advised by team eos. They asked to use it. And you need twrp for Xoom,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28988754

Installation method 4 thru goo manager.

I remember one of the stingray users had an issue with the radio flashing and it went great with twrp.

Good luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Didn't work. I still have to reset the WiFi every 5 minutes or so. Also, the twrp recovery takes a LOT longer to load than Rogue's. Almost thought it wasn't going to work for a bit until the 'curtain' finally rose.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Over 24-hour bump...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Just put on EOS 138 and reflashed the radios after going back to Rogue. Still radio issues with WiFi. Found some other threads detailing that Jelly Bean in general seems to have WiFi issues. As much as I hate it, I'm starting to think that I will have to 1) revert to ICS, 2) wait for an updated radio file, or 3) deal with it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANOinSD:
Wifi Issue

I always have that problem with their roms. Flash a kernel, thats always helped my situation.

Also I have zero issues with wifi on JB with my GNexus, N7, Infuse and Atrix. Its not JB, at least not as far as I have seen. Granted none are stock.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Which kernel would you recommend?

Also, until JB I have not had this issue with EOS builds.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANOinSD:
issues

I flashed Eos 138 last night (was on CNA), without doing the radios, nor a kernel, and didn’t have any problems.

The Eos forum states that it has the kernel baked into the rom, so flashing the kernel is likely redundant.

However, for ****s and giggles I tried flashing the Eos 3.0.15 kernel and it would not flash, but I was able to flash the Eos 3.0.5 kernel instead and it took. I haven’t seen any issues, either before or after the kernel flash, so perhaps you should try re-flashing the entire rom sans radios and see what happens.

One of the nice things about the Xoom is its pretty easy to fix anything you could do to it via ADB and fastboot, so try some different combos, or start all the way over (from stock). If that doesn’t help, try a different JB rom and see if you get the same problem.

Also make sure you are flashing the right rom, there are several variants for the Xoom - 3G, 4G, Euro, and of course wifi only.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] First Aid Computing:
Just flashed CM10 and the non-EOS gapps without flashing radios. Running on WiFi for about 20 minutes so far without issue. Will try more testing later today.

I don't want to mess with rooting, CWM and all that stuff on the wife's phone just to get back a basic function. Doing all of those things to get new functions...maybe.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Really, it's super-easy to install the backlight fix, and you don't even have to root or muck around all that much. You flash CWM in odin, which takes about 30 seconds, and then boot into CWM and flash a single zip file, which should take at most a minute including the reboot time. Tada, keyboard light is fixed.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Anh56:
Im in the same situation can u do like a step by step how to do that cause i dont want to brick my phone in my trying to figure it out on my own :P
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
That requires root access and messing with stock recovery right? Although it can be done quickly, it could mess up any future official ICS update...you know, an official build that has the backlight fix + other fixes. I'd rather not deal with unrooting, getting stock recovery back on, and still have a risk of a soft brick....all for a backlight fix. For my scenario ICS can wait or never be applied on the glide. My wife doesn't care :).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
It actually doesn't require root access, just a custom recovery, which is flashed from the PC. You can then replace it with a stock recovery, if you prefer.

I made a walkthrough for the entire leak here, but I'll snip it down and just assume you're running some form of ICS now that's completely stock:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] R3D X:
Yeah backlight isn't working sorry, someone on a blog had said so. Very unprofessional of samsung. A rom cooked with cm9 willl have to include the backlight fix
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
:good:

Cool, thanks for the info. Good to know root is not required. I'll still hold off on the update but I'm sure others will apply ICS+backlight fix.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AraDreamer:
I updated last night, and I can report that after ending any call the phone app reports a hard stop rather than just going away, and that resets your cell connection. And I imagine the keyboard backlight will be fixed very soon. But did these issues exist on the leaked rom in its first release and then programmers modified to get them back?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] dude52:
Whats Kies?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] PacoL250:
As far as I remember, I don't think that ever happened in the leaked ROM. I could be wrong however. I'm also experiencing that issue and it's certainly VERY annoying. I can deal without the keyboard backlight; however, this is just rediculous that they missed this.

Also, apparently there are APNs you can't delete off the phone (ATT PHONE and ATT WAP) nor can you edit them. The issue here is that resetting to default doesn't help and you can't maintain a cellular data connection. Everything was fine prior to this ICS ROM.

Come on AT&T and Samsung, fix this! (yes I know, I could root this; however, for now, it's not worth the trouble since I have to use Good for Enterprise on here).
