[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreammaker23:
Hey, thanks for the info...Do you know of a link that I can see the differences between the two. Galaxy Nexus & Evo 4G?

How much snappier can it be from the EVO. This Evo is pretty bad azz when it comes to performance and picture quality.

I would love to see the difference in photo quality & performance!

HTC Evo 4G has a lens aperture of 2.2.

I wonder what the Galaxy Nexus has?

They both run 1.2 dual-core processors with 1gb of ram?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Evo 4g is not dual core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ooohhaaahh:
something about the camera since you asked how it compared to the iphone 4/s camera.

at dave n busters i could take pictures with the flash off and they were fine, and with the flash they weren't washed out or blurry.

the iphone needed the flash otherwise it was all dark, and almost all the photos were blurry or washed in flash.

and then that fast shutter speed on the nexus, i can snap a quick shot faster than the iphone (multiple shots in a row, and a few other things are when this is most useful)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] standardtoasters:
I used an iPhone 4 before I moved to a Gnex. And, I still kind of prefer the image quality from my iPhone 4.

To me, it just seems as though the Gnex isn't quite able to capture all of the detail; its just slightly a bit more blurry. This is when you zoom in in your picture (i.e. after I've taken the picture).

The camera lens was changed with the iPhone 4S so I would think there's an improvement even over the iPhone 4.

That said, the picture quality from a Gnex isn't terrible but it could be a lot better. Hopefully, it's something that's changed with the next gen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreammaker23:
Sorry, I meant the HTC Evo 4G LTE.

You scared me for a sec there..Had to look it up. It has 1.5Ghz Dual Core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreammaker23:
Thanks for the replies! The reason I asked compared to the iPhones is because in fact I came from the iPhone family and know the quality of both the iPhone 4 and 4S. My girl currently owns the 4S. I have done the comparison between my current phone HTC EVO 4G LTE. There is no dought that the EVO 4G LTE takes the leap over the iPhone's.

I wanted the input of the Galaxy Nexus 4G cause I don't know how it stacked up next to the iPhones. I had a feeling one of you was going to say that the details on the iPhone 4 pictures is just peppier more then the Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE .

And knowing this makes me assure that it will not be as crispy as the iPhone 4S.

But yea thanks for the input on the camera of the Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
If the question is specifically about comparing cameras, the 4S has a better camera than my GNex, but my GNex takes pretty good pics. It may not be stellar but it's good enough for my purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreammaker23:
Cool, Thanks! The moral of my question is how does the Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE stacks up to the Evo 4G LTE in general? Would it be worth to "downgrade" sorta say?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conanjf:
look at this : http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_tx_t_and_v_benchmarks_are_here_promising_too-news-4722.php

in the results, the new line of sony xperias, r getting better results on benchmarks than galaxy s3. How can it be? How xperia t with almost the same specification than xperia s gets better results than galaxy s3 with his quadcore processor ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
Quad core is not yet optimized in android :D

Android is not ready yet for quad core :D

Dual core is more than enough for android (well ICS)

Because i think jellybean quad core will do better (CMIIW)

Its not just Xperia T all device that use S4 "krait" Dual Core benchmark is always better than exynos
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
Its the next gen snapdragon S4 plus krait processor..u can find out about those over at their site Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors. Just because S3 and HTC ONE X has quad core doesnt make it act fast coz despite of the cores, the normal apps doesn need to use the quads. May be ull get better gaming fps and smoothness with tegra 3 but when its come to web browsing, stability and working potential the snapdragon chipsets actually does a lot of good work. Waiting for the LG Optimus G. Heard they used S4 PRO Quad Krait :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
Quad Krait :confused:

Sounds pretty scary :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] conanjf:
and about the difference on results between xperia t and xperia s?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Because cores != performance.

Gesendet von meinem LT26i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CrazyPeter:
Because it's not about number of cores.

Typically the phones with more cores run them at slower clock speeds, canceling out the difference.

It's all about getting a BALANCED spec, which includes I/O rates, flash speed, memory channels, memory bandwidth, cpu cores, cpu power management latency and literally hundreds of other factors.

Both Sony and Samsung are tier 1 manufacturers, which is why they know how to spend money in the right areas when it comes to component costs.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
XS Use S3 processor, No Ext Memory, no LTE, 12mp camera

While XT S4 processor, Ext Mem, LTE support, and 14mp camera

If you talking about benchmark

Its pretty far i think thanks to the S4

But the downside is the illumination bar

:D

I really love that bar. if xperia T have that bar i will upgrade without thinking anymore :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
The new gen S4 PRO comes in two form, Dual and Quad..LG Optimus G went with the Quad 1.5GHz and a shattering 320GPU. Its gona be pretty fast in 3D rendered games for sure and as its Qualcomm then u can very easily bet that there battery consumption will be less than usual Quads :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PhilAd:
Qualcomm doesn't use reference ARM Design. they just get the license for A9/A15.

They have their own Design like Apple with their SoC.

The Sony Xperia S has the MSM8660 which is a Snapdragon S3 (45nm, Single Channel RAM, Andreno 220 GPU).

The Sony Xperia T has the MSM8260a which is a Snapdragon S4 (28nm, Dual Channel RAM, Andreno 225 GPU).

The difference is also in the architecture.

S3 = Scorpion: This is the own Design of Qualcomm which is compareable with ARM Cortex A9

S4 = Krait: This is also designed by Qualcomm and is compareable with ARM Cortex A15

The performance of Snapdragon SoC's is incredible. Its not just, that Android is not yet optimized for Quad-Core SoC's but also the Design.

There are already benches available showing the APQ8064 which is a Quad-Core with Andreno 320 GPU. There is no compareable SoC at the moment and if I'm not wrong the LG Optimus G will get this SoC (Q1/Q2 2013).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
For better GPU performance, i have seen Qualcomm betting more on MSM8960 than any other. I am waiting for S4 PRO MSM8960T chipset review (will surely be used over TABS only) lets see what it got. Didnt read nor know anything about APQ8064 model and i dont think dat we will get to know about that chipset unless LG releases their Optimus G. Xperia T has the AP series from S4 PLUS but S4 PRO is a total new ball game :cool:. Am guessing that the next gen S4 chips can easily be overclocked to 2GHz+ as my Xperia-S is already running on 1.78GHZ smoothly and its a Dual Core S3 :p. LG announced 2GB of ram for the Optimus G so, basically, 2GHz+ of overclocked QUAD PROCESSOR with 2GB ram is a must have for any enthusiast android developer/user. And if they manufacturer make it to a perfection than for sure its a must kept for the next 2/3 years as android for quads, wont be developed before that time but WITHIN that time. That 320GPU is already like a cherry on top so for now, am just keeping my fingers crossed to know how the battery will perform :fingers-crossed:. Then again, thats just my prediction and thoughts :). As is said before, Qualcomm already won my faith over their chipsets :D :D :D. More like Dejavu :p..More power work yet less power consumed :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] justkiddinghere:
If in future quadcore will be good for android then s3 not gonna be outdated soon
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
It's not only quadcore + Android not optimized to be the reason that Xperia T and other new Krait S4 CPU powered phones are better then Samsung's S3.

The S3 is powered by the tegra 3, and tegra 3 isn't the newest CPU anymore. It's just the fact that the S4 processor from Qualcomm is newer and better optimized then tegra 3.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
S3 powered by Tegra 3? Where did you read that? It has either the Quad Core Exynos or Dual Core S4 Krait in some models variations.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ashqmallik:
LOL S3 have Quad Core Exynos .. Tegra 3 is for HTC ONE X and Xperia T came with S4 Plus Dual Core Krait which actually has beaten S3 and HTC both to some serious extent. Hell, HTC ONE S beats one x to some serious level :cool: BOTTOM LINE : Qualcomm holds the authentic brain power for androids

Hi I am thinking of buying a Asus tf700 on Ebay and this is the description for the item Asus tf700t-b1-gr in grey.

My question is will this be Amethyst Gray?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Even Google could tell you that if you image-Googled the code..

But yes, that's the Amethyst Grey.

Asus tf700t-b1-gr = Amethyst Grey

[KIN One and Two General] bryan9915:
My wife left her phone out in rain and so needs to be replaced. She is on a Verizon basic phone plan with unlimited feature phone data. When looking at the stats vs a newer feature phone like the brightside. It seams like the Kin 2m is a better choice.

She uses it primarily for testing, calls, facebook, email (using the Vmobilele mail), and maybe a little additional internet browsing.

What do you guys who have experiance with the divice think?

Thanks for the opinions in advance.
[KIN One and Two General] DustinWolf:
Id say yes. the brightside is basically an updated version of my dad & little sisters Samsung phone (they're different models, but look exactly the same as the brightside, as well as being Samsung phones and they hate them. It sucks compared to the kin two (or two m).

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4641&idPhone2=3266 < as you see, the KIN Two fares well better than the brightside. :D

Such as:

Compatible with more network technologies, larger memory, better OS (the Samsung feature phones use touchwiz. :p This is running what one could call a weird KIN version of Windows Phone), better camera, faster, larger and higher quality screen with more colors, WiFi, built in email client (no vzmail. an ACTUAL email client), Zune Media Player (For movies, music, podcasts, etc...), and others.

Note that there ARE a few downsides :p, such as:

No MicroSD (But as a 8GB feature phone, thats not much of a problem)

It uses Internet Explorer 6 Mobile

(So not as many pages are compatible, nor are most HTML5 web apps, BUT i do run a website that lists compatible websites (including Facebook and Twitter, ebay, etc...) that have splash pages that can be pinned to the home screen for easy access, so for simple networking & browsing, its not really a problem. view this page in the kin's browser: http://appcenter.zxq.net/ {NOTE: The link is not compatible with desktop browsers. its made for the Kins IE6})​

If you get the TWO not the TWOm, all the BUILT IN social networking features are defunct due to the Kin Studio being shut down (though you can always use the browser)

Can only delete conversations, not individual texts (not a real problem, just annoying for some people, but not me)

Cannot delete ringtones, and ringtones must be sent via a MMS (you can email an mp3 or Wav thats under 2mb to [AREA CODE][YOUR NUMBER]@vzwpix.com to send a ringtone to your phone.)

Though when you compare the pros and cons, the Kin Two wins out above all over the Brightside (For some of its cons can be worked around anyways by using the web broswer)

So i say: GET THE KIN TWO(m)

you can find KIN TWOs and TWOms on ebay and i won a bid on my for $26 ($30 after shipping). I own it (the TWO) and its a great phone, and has that bit of Windows Phone flavor in its interface too. :)

also, get ZUNE on your PC. you'll use it to sync your music, photos, and videos to your pc. Kind of like how the iPhone uses iTunes.
[KIN One and Two General] bryan9915:
Wow! Thanks for all the info. I think I will get the TWOm:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
I've been having some issues with my GSIII and was wondering if I am the only one. I live in Houston where LTE is live and was getting very good speeds 20-30 Mbps down.

All of a sudden I am getting 3G like speeds when connecting to 4G towers. 0.7 to 1.3 Mbps. Ping times are double, connection is very inconsistent for weeks. Finally called Sprint and they said to take out the battery and pop it back in. Viola back to normal speeds.

Unfortunately the next day... same issue. Popping the battery out and back in works but I do not want to be doing this every day to get a solid LTE connection. You guys getting the same issue? I can't understand what would cause this to happen. Is it a design issue with the phone where the LTE chip is not getting enough voltage over time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vapore0n:
Have you tried just rebooting?

The "remove battery for a few" seems to be the cure for most ailments. So you could have some other issue that is affecting your LTE speeds.

Have you checked to see if there are any rogue processes eating memory/cpu? Hows your battery life when the LTE problem happens?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
Im on LI8 update and i just tested mine and LTE seems normal.

Dallas, TX..

Maybe someone in Houston can help you test..

But to me it sounds more like a phone issue. Also sounds like its actually on 3G and not 4G. Wonder if its not showing the right icon or not switching properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
I tried just a reboot multiple times when I first had the issue and nothing worked until I popped the battery. Battery life remains pretty consistent. 12 to 16 hours on average depending on use. Nothing to suggest something eating away at CPU cycles.

You may be right though I'll see what processes I can kill and maybe identify whats causing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
It does seem like its 3G its connected to instead of 4G. However the upload speeds seem to be faster than 3G. I will get like 0.92 down 1.43 up or 1.02 down and 6.46 up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
Well I don't think I am crazy. Tested this out with a friend who has the same phone with Sprint.

Both getting slow speeds when in 4G coverage. Power cycle or power cycle with removal of battery and both phones are performing better and both getting similar speeds on the same network connected to the same towers. You shouldn't have to power cycle your phone all the time to get a good LTE connection.

This can't be a coincidence because both phones are having the same issue as you can tell by the attached test results. I'm surprised people haven't noticed this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vapore0n:
Crazy.

Have you installed the latest update? firmware LI3.

It says it "Improves LTE connection", so its worth a shot.

Try checking for Firmware Updates on the phone, force it to download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
Yeah I updated the firmware a while back when the update was released. Everything is stock and up to date. Tried closing all running apps, clearing ram, setting roaming options to Sprint only/Automatic...

Can't seem to pinpoint the cause of the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
Got the OTA update a few days ago and it appears to have fixed the issue. Gone a few days without needing to power down.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vapore0n:
asentsia quickeneth

On your post above you said you had updated the firmware when it was released/leaked. Was this to LI3?

Im wondering if I have the same issue. I can connect to 4G at my house but speeds are equal or worse than 3G.

I did update the radio when freeza released it, then did the full update after the phone received the update.

Ill try tonight doing the battery removal, see if that improves it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mc-fine:
I thought I had the latest in that post. I had received an update a few weeks back and checked for updates and got nothing. The OTA update I just did was for LI3.

Averaging about 11 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up now. Consistent connections and solid pings. If your speeds kick back up after power cycling I would suggest flashing the stock LI3 again. Its been like 4 days with no problems for me. Before I would have to power cycle at least once a day.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
What would be the best way to run stock 2.3.4 rooted on an R800i? The stickies are outdated around here and all root methods I've seen refer to 2.3.3 or 2.3.2.

Would the best way be to root on 2.3.3 then update to 2.3.4 OTA and use something like OTA rootkeeper if I want to keep the stock kernel?

If I am unlocked can I just ftf or update to the current stock firmware and then fastboot a kernel with root built in like doomlords kernel? Is that the best method if you want a custom kernel but stock 2.3.4?

Really I am looking for the best way to run stock rooted 2.3.4 with a stock kernel and with a custom kernel to compare.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarbox:
Yeah, you can flash any stock rom using a ftf file and then update the phone to the latest version with OTA or PC Companion, but i think neither of them works if your bootloader is unlocked. In this case you must find a ftf file with the latest 4.0.2.A.0.62. I found it on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409355

I've used ROM Toolbox Pro to restore the apps from my CWM Backup, but the ones on the SD-Ext won't be restored. It says it's successful, but none of the apps are there. It's about 70 apps. I've also tried to restore them with Titanium Backup, but then, the whole app freezes. I've also tried to restore it via a recovery.

Noob here. I have searched and read for hours and have come up with nothing. I am currently running 2.3.4 that i rooted using Zedomax.zip. I have tried 2.3.6 and 4.0.1 At&t releases but battery life was terrible in both cases. So I have returned to 2.3.4 I would like to run a custom ROM. This is the reason I left Iphone was to have some fun with my phone. Do you need to match a custom rom up with a specific kernal? Or can I install any ROM that is for the SGH-I777? Thanks in advance. Any help on a kernal and ROM combo that has good battery life would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
I believe all roms that you flash from here will also install an appropriate kernel for you. So, you don't need to go looking for a kernel. I'm running SHOstock2, which uses the siyah kernel, and my battery lasts me through the entire day with medium usage. Try starting with that. Also, always make sure you have a backup of whatever you were on before flashing another rom to avoid serious issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] calgt08:
Thanks for the help. The Shostock 2 Rom was on the list of ones I have been interested in. I have made a backup and will transfer it to my computer before proceeding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
No problem. Make sure you hit the thanks button if you find anyone's posts useful =).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
The only thing you have to worry about kernel wise is making sure when you rooted that you flash an OS appropriate kernel. After that, every ROM made for this phone has a kernel available. If you want to flash a new kernel, you can do so at any time. Then you have to, again, pay attention to make sure it's OS appropriate. Ie. GB, ICS or JB.

Also, make sure you do the following:

Read the OP multiple times before flashing ROM.

1. Nandroid backup

1a. Factory Reset/Wipe (if called for in the OP or you have issues after flash)

2. Flash Jivy26 Kernel Cleaning Script (easily found by search - if dl in op doesn't work, read further in there thread, there is a working link)

3. Flash ROM.

4. Flash Gapps (if called for by OP. Also, make sure it's for your OS and inverted [or not] if need.)

Any issues? Try again including 1a.
