[Galaxy Note II General] Baldilocks:
I was right, you don't understand.

Stock for stock is NOT what I am talking about. I am talking about both processors running at the SAME speed. How is that so hard to understand?

My point is, is that the benchmark the Note 2 is getting at 1.6Ghz, is lower than what my GS3 is getting at the SAME speed with the SAME processor WITHOUT any fancy kernel or ROM.

My head hurts now.

I know these benchmark tests are 'subjective' -- especially because of the difference between JB and ICS, but still. With each new generation of phones these scores have kept rising. With the new Krait S4 going into the 7500 range, these numbers aren't as impressive as they seem. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] josephnero:
I get your point bro.

this note maybe per release and final retail version may or may not score better.

PS.is OC possible without any additional modules?
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
So what's your point? That the S3 processor its better or something? Do you have the force GPU on developer section? That give you extra 200 points on quadrant... As I said we don't know under what conditions he performed the test... Take it as it is... Note 2 its twice better than s3 in everything

Rgb screen/faster processor/way bigger battery/spen/5.55" screen/2gb ram/slow motion cam/etc

[Galaxy Note II General] Baldilocks:
My only comment was 'that's not really that impressive because my GS3 runs faster than that'. It really wasn't meant to start a long drawn out conversation that has nothing to do with the original topic.

Many factors come into play with these scores. I just figured that it would have scored much higher than that.
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
And what were you expecting from 2 identical processors?
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I'm gonna buy this galaxy note 2, regardless of these meaningless benchmarks.
[Galaxy Note II General] xiskillo:
I has seen range points between 5400 to 6600 in quadrant of bloggers test... is inconsistent all time.
[Galaxy Note II General] Baldilocks:
Buy all three.
[Galaxy Note II General] v1tus:
iphone5 is so lame, the better buy is note II :)
[Galaxy Note II General] austin_dreq:
Yup, that the idea. I will have good quadrant result if I OC'd my three new phones.:D

Not sure whether to get this or the next nexus! Tempted to wait and see if the nexus uses a15 cores
[Galaxy Note II General] copualt3:
Try not to hope too much, google has repeatedly disappoint the nexus line. It is no longer setting trend, since the original nexus with the first 1ghz processor on android, rather it has fallen behind the curve for the past two generations of nexus saga, starting with the nexus s and galaxy nexus. Samsung and other oems have met and exceed nexus line in term of CPU and gpu and camera department. Optimus g and note 2 and unannounced quad core htc 5 inch tab will be android top tier phone pre 2013.

Have you tried settings? or are you using an app that does this. Could you specify some further details? It may be that your application is default set to do this. And if its not an app, then get an app that stops this from happening. could find one for you, but need more detail to attempt anything
[General Questions and Answers] brenno88:
You should download should download an app from the market this cool app from google market.

It is called, the name of the app is ES Task Manager. I think its called ES Task Manager

You should also use. There is another app you can look into Auto Killer, this app is called auto killer

You can download CPU spy to check if the phone is going into deep sleep mode after you kill all the apps and one by one work out the culprit.

Haha! What has happened to my post??

I cut and paste from another forum I didn't get an answer from, read it back ok and it seems to have gone a little weird!

Sorry about that!

I've checked all settings in the phone, I cannot seem to turn it off. The only setting I can see that relates to it is the stay awake function in display.

Ill check out those apps thank you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroca1978:
Hello

I have this issue with my Sansung Galaxy S3 I bought from my carrier one week ago.

My data plan is enabled to tether, I didn't have any issue with my Atrix 4G, connection was completely reliable on it, but i do have issues with my Galaxy S3.

It starts the wifi hotspot, my computer is able to connect, but after a few minutes, and sometimes just a few seconds, computer can't navigate, and the only possible way to solve it is by disconnecting and reconnecting from the wifi hotspot.

I have tried also with other laptops and is the same.

Now, I noticed it always happens when cell phone switches from H+ to 3G. It looses connectivity while in 3G, and it get connectivity when it gets back to H+ (but the laptop keeps without navigation although Wifi keeps connected to hotspot).

I have searched and couldn't find any answer here. Is there a way to force it to keep H+ or H connection? not 3G? (because the issue happens every time it goes to 3G). I think it is something related with the power saving features of the phone but I have no idea how to tweak it.

This is International version

GT-I9300

Android 4.04

BaseBand Version I9300UBLG2

My device is rooted.

I am in HSPA+ coverage area.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It either drops back because the network has fast dormancy issues (you can try to disable fast dormancy through the corresponding app which requires root)

or because the network is instable.

In the second case you can't do anything at all except try another modem which might be less prone to the network stability issues.

Have you tried USB- or bluetooth tethering? If yes; is it unstable too?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroca1978:
I just disabled fast dormancy using FastDormancyToggle for i9300... I am going to be checking and if it keeps dropping I will try tether over USB and over bluetooth. I will keep you informed.

Thank you

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroca1978:
Since I disabled Fast Dormancy it has been working much better.

It switches from H+ to 3G from time to time but it doesn't disconnect when doing that.

Thanks a lot for your help. I guess it is fine to close this thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroca1978:
It WAS working better... now it is not... It is working almost the same, a little better, but keeps dropping, although Fast dormancy is still disabled.

So, I installed Foxfi, and seems it improves a lot, so it is a better Wifi tether option than the one that comes with SGS3

I tried flashing cm10 onto my infuse but it did not work so I flashed cm9 onto my infuse and then went into rom manager and tried to enter recovery mode through rom manager but now my phone is stuck at a frozen, glitchy looking screen and I can faintly make out the rom manager icon in the middle. I think the version of the rommanager/clockworkmod (i'm not sure) was some like 5.0... Also, I am not very tech savvy about all of this so if you can help me, simple terms and steps would be extremely appreciated. This is my only phone and I really need it fixed so thank you.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madsnake97:
So after running into the bootloop problem since flashing, I got the appropriate (i thought) radio flashed and it fixed my bootloop issue. Now the problem I'm running into is i have NO data at all. Wifi works just fine but I can't get anything with 3G. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do?

EDIT: fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip is the command i used to flash the radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madsnake97:
Upon further investigation and some help, I was advised to re-download the radio and flash it again. However, it had the same result. I even tried upgrading to the .0320 radio and I still have no data. The Mobile Data toggle on the phone keeps switching from on to off. Shows at least 3 bars of signal and then goes to the no bars with an X on it...

When I flash the radio in RUU, should the green bar go all the way across before doing a fastboot reboot-bootloader?

Again, any help is hugely appreciated!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems328i:
Like the title says, which do you think would be the best way to to go, stick with ICS and unlock and root, or install the OTA for Jelly Bean and then unlock and root? Pros and cons? I just got my tablet and I'm trying to figure out the best course of action.Thanks for any insight!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
It depends on your ultimate goal. If you are definitely wanting jb and willing to unlock, then I would update first, then unlock, then root. It's a safer path in my opinion. Note - once you update to jb you can't go back to ICS because jb updates partitions and the bootloader itself.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems328i:
To be honest I'm not sure, from what I've been reading on this forum a lot of people are unhappy with the JB update, and I know there are JB based roms like Black Bean that I can run on the ICS firmware. On the other hand there are others who say the JB update has improved the I/O. I guess the main thing holding me back from updating to ICS is the lack of flash, my kids also use the tablet for watching youtube or embedded videos on kids sites - is that possible with the stock browser on JB?

Also, I know you can update to JB and keep root, but will the unlocker tool from Asus work again after unlocking ICS as well? Thanks again for any advice!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
My jb is fine. Others don't like. I'd just read and judge for yourself. Unlock will work for jb. If you've unlocked on ICS, you don't have to unlock again.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems328i:
Ok thanks. Can you still watch youtube (website or app)? It's my only real concern since my kids need to be able to. Also, if I unlock ICS can I still flash the JB update manually?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I use the YouTube app with no issue.

As for jb flash, the guide in the general section explains the procedure but I didn't use that piece because I upgraded while locked. I unlocked after.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems328i:
I am not yet unlocked, if I do upgrade I will unlock after that too. So you can play embedded videos with the stock browser also? A lot of the children's websites my kids use all have Flash content....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems328i:
Can anyone on JB confirm for me that the stock browser plays embedded videos? As I said it's the only thing stopping me from upgrading as my kids need to be able to view their favoirite websites like this one:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desktopfusion:
But you CAN install flash on Jelly Bean-upgraded TF300T!

It's just not available on the Play store, but can be 'side-loaded' and installed like any other third party application. ICS version of flash works well on JB.

I can confirm the stock browser on Jelly Bean runs youtube website videos with the flash app. I have the tablet rooted, but not unlocked.

From what I read, the Chrome browser does not play flash, but stock one does.

The link you provided works too! Just have to remember to Request desktop site from the menu in stock browser.

Flash apk 'Guide' / download link here.

Also, if you do not intend changing ROMs, you could just save your root with OTA rootkeeper+SuperSU, update via OTA and resume root courtesy the OTA rootkeeper app. I did that as I didn't want to unlock just yet.

how do you compare two vastly different phones for vastly different customer population? also honestly, why is everyone comparing to the iPhone still? while they may sell the most due to people either being invested in ios or for cult like reasons, i really don't see them as the standard anymore. comparison is great for specs but i'm just tired of everyone regarding the iPhone as the standard.

[Galaxy Note II General] tenet420:

FWIW I will be getting the note2 to replace my OG Droid. I want to combine my android phone and android tab into one and carry less devices.

But that answer depend on who is wearing what, and from a viewer point of view rather than user point of view. Well at least that is not my brain is talking.
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Ok, first off. Comparing two phones that aren't out/ didn't personally use them for a while is not fair. A6 is probably dual core A15's, the iPad 3 doesn't have the same processor but it still is the fastest(check benchmarks/game FPS). In 3D performance, iPhone 5 would probably win. Operating system is biased and that's the end of it. You can only state the features but which one is better is your opinion. I think iOS works very well, but that's about it. It gets boring quickly even though it's doing its job of working as expected. Android is way more functional and with ICS and later, apps aren't ugly and have a style now.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
Okay, seriously? Siri is a better assistant than Google Now? Siri has more sports knowledge? That is incredibly wrong.

Number 1, Siri gets all its info from Google. Number 2, Google Now updates you prior, during, and after the game has been played.

This review was not completed with the best support, not to mention the iPhone hasn't been released to effectively compare speeds, camera, etc. Although, I have no doubt the GNII will destroy the iPhone 5.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I appreciate your friend for writing this comparison and you for sharing it with us, but so many mistakes in his comparisons. The iphone 5 and the iPad 3 do not share the same processor, the iPad has an A5x chip ( arm cortex A9)while the new iphone has an A6 chip( arm cortex A15 which is a beast). The iphone camera is known to be one of the best around, I won't jump to conclusion on which is better until we see what the note 2 can do. Siri is light years better than S voice, but Google now is better than siri. I'm definitely not defending the iphone but since this is an honest thread we have to state the facts. Its hard to judge the exterior of each phone cause to each his own, and as far as battery life goes, I expect the note 2 to map the floor out with any phone on the market, including the iphone 5. The note 2 comes with a 1.6 GHz Exynos 4 quad processor ( quad core) which is a beast also. Both phones have powerful processors that will make them fly. I prefer the note 2 cause of the s pen and its new features, the 5.5 inch screen, the OS, the ability customise it however you want it. But the iphone 5 is no slouch, its a very good phone but it doesn't deserve all the hype its getting. Deuces:)
[Galaxy Note II General] redsoxfan320:
You make some excellent points my man. I still believe that Androids vs iPhones continues to be based on what the user is looking for. I think the gap in that argument is changing but it still exists.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
It all comes down to what you looking for, at the end of the day. Its is clear that I phones cater more to the masses, people that want a good phone that just works, versus android that caters to the more tech oriented people who like customisation and modding. I have a friend who used to be a crazy ROM flasher, he actually got me into android. Now he doesn't really flash ROM or anything, he just wants something that is stable and works well and he is actually considering getting an iphone ( he used to hate I phones). All the android vs apple iphone is based on that, whether you want something great that just work and you don't have to worry about a thing, or you want something else that is also great, works but can be perfected to your liking.
[Galaxy Note II General] ky0nkyon:
something catered to the masses wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Android is catered to the mass with different levels of price range. Android stock is just as easy to use.

Finally a thread where people aren't just bashing one thing or the other. Honestly just like everyone here, I think these phones are in a different class, and really can't be compared. People who go for the iPhone 5 have a lot to look forward to, the phone is still fast, has a nice screen, and can finally use LTE which is great. What I don't get is that many people still can't really appreciate it, it is a beast of a phone in such a small package, I mean no offense to the note 2 but that thing is huge and has a lot more space for a bigger or better chip, more ram, bigger battery, a lot of things but the iPhone 5 can still hold it's own and still be really small. Now I will be getting the note 2 because I can't wait for that thing, it's like everything samsung could ever do into one package, it might be the first in the US with a quad core and LTE and a 5.5 screen, and the screen is unique on it's own, hd super amoled, with it being sort of in between a pentile and a amoled plus screen. Really spec wise it is a tech geeks wet dream, and I don't care if I look dumb making calls, I barely do that anyways, currently have the og epic touch and the devs here have kept this phone alive, I can even run jb on this. With the hype around the note 2 I hope it gets a lot of dev support because that thing was made for paranoid android and I can't wait to start flashing.

[Galaxy Note II General] ccline84:
In my honest opinion, there is absolutely no reason to own an iPhone 5 as it basically reinforces my belief that Apple suckers people in to $200 software upgrades. Samsung ( and others ) time and time again comes out with the stronger hardware. A lot of people say it comes down to personal preference, but I fail to see how people could prefer the iPhone. Out of date hardware, smaller screen, limited OS and customization abilities, having to be hooked to iTunes, etc.

I so wanted to try the iPhone 5 instead of my GSIII, but after the lackluster press release and underwhelming specs... I was left sorely disappointed. I'll be saving my upgrade for now.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
Yea, I can't believe people think they are innovators. During their keynote they were explaining how apps designed for the 3.5" screen will work on the 4" screen. Luckily their outstanding engineers and advanced technology, they can center the app on the screen and put a black bar on the top and bottom of the app. WOW. Everyone give Apple a hand clap for their innovation in the field. Android on the other hand, sets their apps to determine the density and automatically sizes it to your screen....woo....black bars would look way better though *sarcasm*
[Galaxy Note II General] THUDUK:
Its basically a slightly stretched 4s, makes me yawn to even contemplate it, how can you compare such a little toy to a NOTE version 1 or 2, even though they are so proud and numbly excited about the ohh arrr slightly bigger screen, its still too small, it looks exactly the same just a load of apps dotted about on a screen inside a square edged lump, these simple phones have there place with the mums and babies groups with there designer gold handbags and tasselled lifestyles.
