all epreviag

hi guys, fedex just delivered this phone to me. I'm so happy. I installed Antutu and discovered that the ram is 512 and not 1gb.

What size ram did you guys have ? I ordered the 1Gb Ram and 4gb Ram version, but sadly receive the 512 version.

But with 512 it's still fast. I'm just checking with u guys that the Ram figure shown by Antutu is correct before I file for return at aliaexpress.

thanks

Update : JUst had a chat with the seller, he saying that there is a mistake on his advertisement. He is saying 1gb Ram is the old version and what I have is the newer version which is using DDR. The 1GB version is the older version which is using SDRAM. How to I verify for this ? If I can access the Mobo, then I can probably share the PCB board version .but I cant access the MOBO...anyone knows how to check for "newer vs older " version ?
[Android General] steveharman:
Just got mine this morning - FANTASTIC - super-fast and great build quality.

Looking forward to flashing the custom ROM - excellent work. Is there any chance that Jelly Bean (4.1) will ever make it to this excellent device?

Cheers,

Steve

I believe there aren't two versions to choose from as such, there was an early production release which had 1GB but to save cost they altered it to 512MB from then on. As you say though - even with 512MB it's a very fast phone.

Steve
[Android General] cresstt:
Hey steve, how many gb of ram is yours? Im seriously considering returning this phone. If I can quantify the performance difference between the r 1gb sdram and 512mb ddram , than I would change my mind.
[Android General] steveharman:
Hiya, mine is a 512mb - I very much doubt you'll find a 1gb these days, it was only the very early ones that had it.

So far I'm very pleased with mine, I doubt in real world operation I'd notice any real speed improvement with the extra RAM.

Cheers,

Steve!

[Android General] Dorkan:
Yeddo - any luck with creating a tutorial? I still can't get around the SP Flash problem but it's starting to seem like it's just me. No idea what the problem is as I'm doing exactly as everyone describes, I'll hold out to install the exact same drivers/version and try again rather than annoying everyone here saying the same thing again and again.

Unless naetarf can post the corrections for the file names? I can't find the file you mentioned which has the correct file names so I can't edit the scatter file myself.

I read on another xda thread (can't link as a n00b) that someone fixed the GPS issue with EPO settings - each time I try it says 'download failed' though. Has anyone else had a go at this one?

Cresstt - I got the 1GB version from android-sale, as far as I know they are still advertising it as that but I don't know whether they just haven't corrected it or genuinely have a stock of 1gb versions - may be worth contacting them to check.

If it helps my 1gb version with stock rom turned out 5303 AnTuTu score, I just re-tested and got 5101, so I'd say something between the two is a reasonable standard to go for. Don't know what the 512mb ram version achieves, be interested though if you can post it here. I bought it purposefully because it had 1GB ram compared to everything else in that price bracket which had 512mb, so i can understand your frustration

Is there problems with it? :(

I logged on to ask not about the ROM but battery life? i am only getting 1 battery with it, does anyone have a link to where i can order a spare battery? thanks
[Android General] GT35pro:
I just got the phone from fastcardtech. They told me that they did not have the 1gb version but I did get a 1 GB version. My antutu score was also higher at 5420. This may have been customized by Hdc for fastcardtech. GPS works well for me too. I am doing a YouTube video. Will upload it soon. Where did you buy your phone from? Everyone else got 2 batteries.
[Android General] fappapp:
I purchased at etotalk. same price. says it only comes with one 2000mA battery:crying: but fingers crossed for when i open the box.

I got the B92M model not HDC branded.

They didnt have the 1gb version eitehr.

Fastcardtech do now have the 1GB back in stock as of yesterday i think.:good:

link the youtube video review up when you can please.
[Android General] yannmrt:
Good Evening,

As far I know there is 2 versions : the B92 with 1 GB ram and the B92m with 512 mb. I don't know if there is other difference.

Question for the people that have the 1 gb or/and 512 mb, do you have a 32 GB Micro sd working on it ? (thanks to confirm with the RAM quantity)

Thanks

Hi

Battery dimension of the Star B92M HDC Galaxy S3 Extreme battery is 60x63x4mm.

Do you have some battery with 60x63 dimension?

Maybe your Galaxy S3 or HTC Sensation XL battery is ok for Star B92M? Or someone else?

I suppose is the same reason as when jb rom "see" only half gb ram on some 1gb models, there are more than one revision of b92m mainboard with different hardware and the rom's compiled to support only one of those (the one used by those pulid f13 phones I suppose).

probably that's why they suggested to buy the version that comes with inclused phone backing.

how i can know how much ram i have on this smartphone?

edit: antutu benchmark 3.0.3 say i have 1181 ram, is it true, why not wrote 1000?

score is 5328, what that mean, strong phone?
[Android General] fjorger:
Hi edoha,

It's easy.

Run Settings -> Apps -> Running.

Look at the BAR on the bottom, sum both values.

If you have something like 970MB, you have 1GB ram (some MB are system reserved).

Otherwise 512MB :(.

My question was due to the fact that version 4.1.2 has some issues with 1G being reported as 512M.

Well, you have to admit that a 500$ phone should be better than a 200$ phone. But even so, personaly I am quite happy with this phone so far. Cause you can root it, had a big screen, has high resolution, fast wifi, custom rom with android 4.1.2. and doesn't cost an arm and leg.

I was happy with the ZTE blade till now and this is quite an improvement.

if you paid with paypal and you are at the end of the 45 days limit and the seller did not sent it with tracking number, open a dispute claiming you did not receive the phone and if you are lucky and use proper language you may get a full refund. Once you do, send the phone back.

are you sure this one has exactly the same hardware as b92m? I have an hdc note 2 which is same as star n9330 but screen chip is different. Did you tried star b92m roms on it?

it is due to problematic charger

Is this rom ok? Or it has problems with gps, camera etc?

that's normal, they don't have same cost. However mtk6577 phones score more than 6000 in antutu, why you score only 5000?

3G

Hi guys,

I've got a S3 i9300 EX, 1GB RAM. Got it from fastcard, I took almost 2 months to arrive.

I like the phone, but there is a think that is driving me crazy. I cant get 3G to work. Just EDGE. This unit can support 850 / 2100 WCDMA, and the 3 companies on my country ( Mex) use 850 / 1900 WCDMA.

I've got the right APN ( double and triple checked them) . I've even entered to the engineer mode ( *#*#3646633#*#*) and selected the right UMTS bands ( 850 alone, 850 / 1900, all of them) and none of them makes the 3G work, just EDGE. (BTW, this phone actually uses WCDMA 800/850/900/1900/2100).

Any one of you having problems using 3G?

Any advice you can give me ? I was thinking if baseband software (MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5, 2012/07/25 20:13) could be the problem.

Any idea ?

Hey I just found an easter egg on my b92m with 4.1.2. If you press 3-4 times the android version number in the settings you get a happy jelly bean and then if you press continuously you get many jellybeans floating on the screen...someone must be bored in the android development team
