[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I have both phones right now and the DNA is most likely getting sold! I did buy the Note 2 first though but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the DNA and while it is a very nice phone it is just not as smooth as the Note 2 is... I have the DNA on a stock kernel because the only kernel that is available that overclocks the DNA is waaay unstable but they did just drop a VERY nice rom for it over there (ViperDNA) which is one of the most customizable roms I have ever used on a phone. The DNA really has nothing on the Note 2! Yes, the screen is beautiful!! But I think that is why it lags like it does...? (pushing all those pixels) As far as Touchwiz over Sense... I like them both but Samsung has just got them beat right now (everyone for that matter)! If Samsung made phones that were not ALL plastic that would be my wet dream. ;) If you don't want a Note 2 cause it's too large then get a DNA but if you can handle the BEAST then you have one of the best phones, if not the best, that you can get! :D

And having owned both phones the whole benchmark thing means NOTHING! It's real world use and that's where the Note 2 will win every time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djsbad:
As far as the difference between any version of sense or touchwiz, I'll take tw any day. Love me some tw. I just wish theyd make a tw rom thats compatible with theme chooser.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Samsung Galaxy S & S II are spying on you for South Korea!

According to a South Korean newspaper (Donga) the Samsung phones have at least than 3 apps which spy on

everything

you do.

Date of news DECEMBER 05, 2011, so we can assume it's much worse now.

They have only taken apart these to phones but this does not exclude our skyrocket or the SIII, mnd you.

Personally i do care as i see this as a brutal intrusion on my privacy but atm i have no choice but to go with samsung stock rom.

But who knows if a custom rom like CyanogenMod is any safer, what if they've got spyware in the bootloader :P ?

Did the SG3 have GPS problems and the beginning of its development? Currently the Note 2 is having problems and we think it is the fact that the driver only works with touch wiz. Seeing how the GPS is probably exactly the same as the Note 2, we may be able to fix it. Does anyone remember?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDatabug:
Hi All

I was very pleased to see my favourite Rom appear for the Note 2 LTE. I did a clean flash (wipe data, cache etc). But noticed that the mic doesnt work. Is anyone else having this problem? I reflashed a TW based ROm that I had before just to make sure its not a hardware fault but no the mic works fine in the original ROM. But not on Cyanogen. BTW Ive tested this on a completely clean install with no apps.

I appreciate this is a nightly so not expected to work 100% but no mic is a bit of a handicap. Other than that I have found no major flaws. Although there is a graphics glitch on the default keyboard when you press the keys and the blue highlighted arrow thing comes up this is a little glitchy. Otherwise great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] aanonymoushuman:
I recently did the vold.fstab swap of my SD and external SD card locations. I like it very much, but the amount of time it takes to mount the external SD is ridiculous. After every reboot it takes about two extra minutes just to see all the apps and data on it. And when ever I remove it and reboot it usually freezes the lockscreen, then reboots, and only then spends another two minutes searching for all the data. Is this a common problem with this swap method, and if it is, is there any fix for it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
Ya it will take longer to scan because it has to scan every file on ur sdcard now to run correct including any game files and such before the files were internal and ur read speed will always be faster that way... But what I do is just simplify the file system delete all files u don't need put music in a music folder and pix in ur dcim folder and so on because the more files and file folders u have the longer it will take... also uneeded backups will make it take longer because they r so big... Another thing is when u have them swapped it seems to scan for errors much longer too... And it depends on ur read write cache too I always make sure there's an init.d script or build prop script for 2048kb or more... And one last thing to consider is the class and quality of ur sdcard I have a Samsung class 10 8gb and it's never steered me wrong and if u have a off brand or lower class sd it will corrupt more and Def will give u headaches

So good luck hope I helped

[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
It's just a basic test but here it is

1 45min Episode of Star Trek TNG Note 2 10% battery Drain Effective 1% drain per 4.5 Min

1 45 Min Episode of Star Trek TNG DNA 17% Battery Drain Effective 1% Drain per 2.6 Min

Both are using Cell Network not wifi.

DNA was set to auto brightness

Note 2 Full brightness
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Too bad TNG is not in HD so that extra power consumption on the DNA would be put to good use.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
Haha!

But it still gives you an idea on media playback.
[HTC Droid DNA] jreed2560:
I would say this is typical when camparing a phone with 3100 mah and one with 2000 mah
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
Let's be realistic, no one's buying the DNA for fantastic battery life. But you'll notice it's much closer to the N2 in web browsing. AMOLED does better than LCD on dark content (video) while the reverse is true on light content (browsing).
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
But were those done on the Verizon note? The initial tests were on the At&t version.
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
It doesn't matter. The browser test is done over Wi-Fi and the video playback test is using looped local content. Here's how they test and what the endurance number means.

The web browsing test is performed using an automated script which reloads a webpage every ten seconds. There are no flash elements on the web pages, so the playing field is even. The brightness of the phones' displays is set to 50% and we use a Wireless N router placed a few meters away to get full connectivity bars.

In our video playback test we measure how long it takes for a device to run its fully charged battery down to 10%, while looping a standard-definition video. We stop at 10% since most devices shut their video players at this point. The display is again set to 50%, and all radios on the device are switched off (Airplane mode).

Finally, our overall longevity rating gives you an idea of how much battery backup you can get on a single charge. A score of 40h means that you'll need to fully charge once every 40 hours if you do one hour of 3G calls, one hour of video playback and one hour of web browsing daily. Essentially, it's an aggregated and normalized score, which factors in the three mentioned tests along with the real-life standby power consumption, which we also measure.​

Here's what they said about LTE.

The HTC Droid DNA has pretty efficient standby, which helped it score an endurance rating of 49 hours (that’s the time between charges if you do an hour each of calling, browsing and watching videos). While we would have liked to see a bigger battery in a phone the size of the HTC Droid DNA, it turns out that 2,020mAh are quite enough to keep the beast going.

Just keep in mind that taking advantage of that fast 4G LTE connectivity will add further strain on the battery.

​

Things could be much worse though... ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] v-b-n:
Note 2 - 3100mAh Battery - 10% loss means 310mAh was used during that time.

DNA/Butterfly - 2020mAh Battery - 17% loss means 340mAh was used.

IMO ... not much difference keeping in mind the better screen of the DNA/Butterfly ... I would vote for HTC here
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
But it's kind of like comparing a Toyota Corolla that gets 27MPG with a range of 343 miles to a tank to a Land Cruiser that gets 18MPG but has a range of 442 miles. The Corolla's great if you you can refuel somewhere along those 343 miles if you're going on a 442 mile trip. And since recharging phones is a nominal expense more is always going to be better. And being able to swap batteries is even better than that. But when the consequence is running out of gas any phone with a small-ish non-removable battery's efficiency only gets it so far. Obviously not an issue for light users or people that can top-up frequently. I had a Teg3 One X with a battery only 11% smaller than the DNA's so I've lived the dream. ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] v-b-n:
Agreed .... What I can state from my experience with phones is that HTC's Quality/Aesthetics is the nearest that can be achieved on Android when compared to iOS (Again IMO, dont flame) ... And the way I see is that if I can carry extra battery in the pocket, I can carry a portable charger as well ;) ... Would not have traded-in the slim figure of the Butterfly with thicker one just to increase little battery capacity.

And these have been my phones in past 3 months (no particular order) ...

HTC Butterfly (Current, Non-LTE)

iPhone 5 (LTE)

Galaxy S3 (LTE/Non-LTE both)

Note 2 (LTE)

Xperia V (LTE)

HTC One X+ (non-LTE)

...
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
The one thing I don't understand is why HTC doesn't learn and increase the battery size. They focus on efficiency which is really good. AFter 8 hours of standby my DNA lost 1% battery. But when you use the dna for video and on screen time it just drains too fast. It needs a bigger battery. HTC keeps sticking small batteries in 4.8+ Inch phones.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
What is too fast? I consistently see 12-14 hour days out of a charge with lots of screen time and music, even with a couple vids thrown in there too.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
Here's some updated figures

Note 2 with Power saving mode on lost 5-6% Battery life

DNA still 17%.

I'd expect between 10-15 hours of life on power saving mode just watching movies on netflix.

While the DNA will be dead within 4-5 hours.

That's the big difference. On screen time consumes the most energy and that's where the dna is lacking in battery size and it shows.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
I really see no point to this thread. The note 2 has a gigantic battery, the DNA has average/slightly above average, of course the note will have better battery life. Anyone who is surprised by that needs to get tested.

The DNA still has above average battery life. Its not lacking in any way, it just doesn't have a monster battery size.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you wouldn't change the meaning of my words that'd be nice.

I said battery life, not battery capicity. Yes the mah is a little on the low side, but the screen and processor are more efficient than just about any others out there. Which makes for good battery life.
[HTC Droid DNA] pumah350:
Exactly my sentiments as well. It's like saying the N2 lacks in form factor...but really it's just preference.
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
Sorry, wasn't intentional.

Not really. The only difference between S4 Pro and S4 is two additional cores which, when under load, draws more power. Likewise for the additional pixels and the need for a more powerful GPU to push them. Whether for the DNA or any other device people's satisfaction with battery life depends on the size of the battery and how much energy what they typically do in a day requires. So an individual can’t say “battery life is good;” only that it’s good for them. I lived with a 1,800 mAh battery on a One X and was fine with it because I carried battery boosters around. But I would never have recommended it to someone that battery life was important to. And it's not like HTC has to use smaller batteries, other phones on the list are as thin or thinner. At least with a 2,300 mAh battery the M7 forum won't be littered with "it's fine - no it isn't" battery discussions like all of HTC's other recent phones.

"At present, this is the same Krait CPU as what we've seen in MSM8960 in phones like the USA versions of the Galaxy S 3 and HTC One X."

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6112/...agon-s4-apq8064adreno-320-performance-preview​
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Yes, the s4 pro has 2 more cores, which allows it to complete any given task faster and allow it to get back to idling quicker. And it is a 28 nm processor, which is more efficient than the note 2's 32 nm processor, which is the main focus of this thread.

Also, the DNA has a super LCD 3 display, which is super efficient.

The battery life on the DNA is on par with the gs3.

If people use their phone enough to be able to complain about battery life on their DNA than they should of known that they would of needed either a note 2 or a RAZR maxx.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
HTC could have easily put a 3100mah battery in the phone, my point is that they always lack on battery size and capacity.
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
It's going to finish a game or movie faster? Download a large file faster when the constraint is connection speed? It's like saying a V8 with cylinder deactivation gets better gas mileage than a V6.

If you look back in the thread, I said comparing the DNA (or SGS3, or N4, or Optimus G, or XZ) with the N2 wasn't valid because of its gigantic battery.

Actually it has more transistors than a 720P display making it less efficient because of the pixel density. Below is what makes an LCD display a "3" and it's about packaging efficiency not energy efficiency.

"Sharp's SLCD3 display features Continuous-Grain Silicon (CG-Silicon) technology which reduces the layers required for the LCD display and enables the whopping 441 ppi pixel density. It features higher "electron mobility" which leads to faster response times (as in, response to electrical signals sent by the processor to render images), which in turn allows Sharp to pack more display transistors into a given physical area."

http://www.sharpmicro.com/Page.aspx/americas/en/6e7dd341-e2ff-4b21-a220-42f0701dbbb6

Here's one way HTC addressed display battery draw. The DNA is 364 cd/m2 which is 33% dimmer than the One X at 470 cd/m2.

Here's what it comes down to. The DNA has an 11% larger battery than the One XL it's based on while having two additional cores, a more powerful GPU, and a more demanding display. Its performance would at best be comparable to the XL which was deemed "adequate" by owners in terms of battery life as long as those additional things don't pull more than 11% additional power. So it comes down to math not marketing hyperbole in determining what real world battery life looks like. And the threshold of acceptability is determined by what people use their devices for individually as one person's "fantastic" is another person's "attrocious." I'm sure that's why HTC's decided to put a 2,300 mAh battery in their 1080P follow-up to the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
What I find funny is its a piece of hardware. The problem is most people settle. But why? Why settle when something can be made better?

So htc makes a 5 inch 1080p wonder and says look at my screen you see it im the first 1080p phone.

Yet puts in weak speakers and a battery that is too small.

So why even bother.

A better speaker could have easily been sourced. Same goes for a larger battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Once again people are failing to realize that this phone was made FOR Verizon under their say. Verizon knew what they wanted and they wanted it by the holidays. That is what HTC did. They didn't exactly have a say in the matter. And this is also why they are coming out with the m7.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hunt3r.j2:
Yes, tell me some more about how you have a degree in electrical engineering and how you know that it's easy to put a 3100 mAh battery in a phone the same size as the DNA....

Edit: Also, the GSMArena battery tests are crap because they just set 50% brightness, which is basically meaningless. Proper results are only going to happen if they enforce a 200 nit white brightness setting before starting the battery life test.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nyxagamemnon:
First of all,

The electrical engineering portion is not related to the battery, It's industrial design, You would design the Chassis of the phone, then build out a block prototype, and move onto the next stage. You would hand the battery manufacturer/supplier your requirements and design spec for your device.

The internals such as PCB design, and component placement and connections is what will require electrical engineering.

It's you who has no clue on how to build something.
[HTC Droid DNA] Linebarrel86:
Well....I think the thing we can take from this discussion is this:

The battery life of the DNA is better than most expected, even if we wished it had a larger one.
[HTC Droid DNA] treahuggs:
With the phone at its thickest as thick as the razr maxx at its thickest, I would rather have this phone square to have a larger battery. BUT i have still yet to try to go through a day of gaming (which is one of the main reasons of wanting this phone) so I will have to see if it can last me a day in a respectable way.

People who complain about little stuff like the speaker dont have any clue how it could be much worse. Coming from the razr maxx, the DNA's speakers are amazing in comparison. But I still have no desire to believe my phone should sound like a 7.1 surround sound system.
