That would be a very cowardly act. He should learn from apple and samsung that despite the heavy criticism, they are moving on. Htc was never a major player, a niche, a late entry in the market, so they should be happy with what they get.

My Opinion about the S4

First of all, thank's for the post, it is perfect for finding all the information I need to get about the Samsung Galaxy S4.

I think the Samsung Galaxy S4 will not beat the sales-record of the S3, because simply the interest of the people is not that high as at the launch of the S3. There are people who don't even know the S4 exists. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has some great piece of hardware built in, and as the caption of this post says: It is a real monster.

But does a mobile device really need an octa-core to run Android smoothly? With some optimization Samsung could have probably created a great device + OS combination. Android has really much potential, it is a great OS and I have many reasons I love my old Motorola Milestone, which actually isn't in use since I now have a Lumia 800 with WP. It has probably more potential than iOS, BB10 or Windows Phone together, but the problem Android has, is, that the HW is never perfectly optimized to the SW. This often causes lagging, crashing, ... When a friend bought the Samsung Galaxy Ace and turned it on the first time, we could see that the device was lagging on the homescreen.

It is like Windows on a PC, while OS X is optimized to the HW in a great way, Windows cannot give you that performance. This is just my opinion, because I have used both Android and Windows Phone for so long time and if I wanted a laggy device, which is super-customizeable and hackable I'd get an Android, but I want a phone that works smoothly out of the box. Maybe some of you won't agree with me in this point, because there are many great Custom-ROMs for Android, but as I said, it is just my personal opinion.

If you look at other devices, like the iPhone 5 running great on a dual-core or at the Lumia 920 with WP8, these devices have much lower specs, but still run seamlessly.

What I'm trying to say is, that Samsung is just wasting hardware resources, because of the OS. Who needs an octa-core in a mobile phone? Sure it's great for games and stuff like that, but we see that other phones can run different OSs and games on them smoothly on even lower hardware. I think this "Octa-Core monster thing" is just another marketing-gag, so users can say: "my phone is better than yours, cause it has an octa-core."

Ironically, the S4 seemed to lag a bit in a first Hand's-On by theVerge.

I'm sorry for my bad english and I hope you get my point! :)

I still think that the S4 is great, but I see a problem in Android, which causes that the S4 will not be able to get the performance it actually has.

Re: [INFO/DISCUSSION ] -Galaxy S4®™- 8 core monster-

Octa core is not over kill at all. 4 super fast cores and 4 battery efficient cores. When power isn't needed the battery efficient cores will run. That's the whole point of the big.LITTLE architecture. Galaxy ace Lol what a horrible device to compare to an iPhone or a lumia 920. Not sure what you mean by people don't know about the s4, its got more pre orders than the galaxy s3

Re: [INFO/DISCUSSION ] -Galaxy S4®™- 8 core monster-

Adding...

Adding...

U can overclock past that I'm sure

Thanks

The device isn't even launched yet when it is and commercials start raining in then you could say if there isn't interest

It isn't an Octa core processor by the usual definition it has 4 high power a15 cores and 4 low power a7 cores the a7 are less powerful and consume alot less power but are more than enough to run regular apps and general android browsing and the powerful A15s are only used when needed meaning u get extensive battery savings along with power when needed this process is seamless and may most likely end up the future of mobile processors

The quad core version of the s4 uses krait cores which in an effort to save battery have to compromise power Octa doesn't suffer from this

Read the Exynos explanation links on the OP preferably the xda one for a more detailed explanation

Buggyness has been gone since ICS and is dead and buried since jellybean where Google introduced "project butter" which maintains 60fps at all times means lag doesn't even sound right in the same sentence as android

Galaxy Ace comes with froyo (very very very old) which bolsters my point as lag is now a thing of the past it also comes with a 624mhz single core processor (extremely slow) using armv6 architecture (very old no one uses this anymore) so this device is a mess and isn't even close to what we have now

Which is what android is since ics as explained above

Just because device has less cores or lower clocked processor It doesn't mean it's slower it comes down to architecture the US s3 has a dual core snapdragon processor as did many android phones that year and is faster than a iPhone plus the iPhone OS is optimized differently it doesn't allow for true multitasking apps cannot run in the background if your using one and switch that app gets frozen meaning it's stored on your ram and doesn't use any cpu whatsoever so the cpu is only used by the foreground app whereas android has waaaaaaaaaay more going on

I explained how Octa core is in fact better above also how the phones which u describe as having "lower hardware" are actually just as powerful

That's incorrect and even if it did it it's most likely a pre version and on top of that it would have been the snapdragon (Quad core) and not the Octa core version

All your queries and misconceptions were addressed hopefully u now realize how great this device :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] shadym1lkman:
In the video posted on page 13 thats twenty minutes (awesome btw, she goes more in depth than any of the other videos that say the same thing over and over) the host mentions that theres excessive black clipping and then shows a panel with a gradient. So id like to call attention to GSMArenas tests that havent taken the downside of OLED "black == 0/off" into account here. Its pretty important to be overlooked in any capacity.

and people need to get over the naming convention of the octa core, its not a homogenous octoplet, but in every argument it goes like

its 4xA15 and 4xA7 (aka 4xA9 more mature and smaller die which is the same arch as Krait 200) but its not 8 ... :confused:

so the equation for them goes like 4+4 != 8. there are 8 heterogeneous cores simple as that, and with kernel 3.8 (KLP fingers crossed) it wont be one die or the other, but a combination of both at all times .. to be customized by anyone (kernel cooking) for their specific needs.

all in all the S600 is cute, but the ceiling i feel is theoretically lower.

125 MHz - 2.0GHz A15 (XULV) + 125MHz - 1.8GHz A7 (XULV) and 12.8GBps DDR3, customized throttle sampling (quicker up/down/off) to avoid excess heat.

i say this as if it is as 'easy' as the N900 was to OC /sarcasm (im still using mine A8 @ 1.15GHz as a primary) however im still confident that with time a kernel + OC + LV + throttling will be available and for my N900 it was a wonderful way to add a few years of service to the device.

what are you using to make the backups?

If you can connect to a PC and see your sd card then you can right click on all the folders (separately, not all at once) on the card to find the one containing large file sizes. Open that folder and see if your backups are there.

Do you rename the backups? If yes just search for one of the names

I'm still not sure about the step 3 though and flashing a GB recovery instead of a ICS one, like many people did already. It may be that the "recovery loops" are cause by the bootloaders and not the ICS recoveries but this has to be confirmed.

If you have WinXP, you may proceed safely. Otherwise I would suggest you tried another guide cause this one is not working for everybody.

There is a section called "How to root". You don't have to do that if you don't want to, so you can ignore the steps from that point on.

After flashing the KDZ, you can safely do the hard reset. Loops occur only with custom bootloaders and recoveries.
