Sv: Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One - 13MP & Ultrapixel comparison

Why don't stfu before I report u to mod.

Apparently it's too difficult for this guy to show the actual devices before making a comparison vid. I thought that was kind of standard when doing comparisons especially when there is 1 month until the phone starts selling. I'll too start making blind comparisons I'll use my canon and call it nexus 5.

Calm down..

Look at the channel where video is posted. Check some history about mobile-review.com website.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Thx for idea, you've just been reported for your 2nd useless and offensive post, failing to check the source yet again. Next time you ASK.

And here's he extensive camera test, with some iPhone 5, HTC One Galaxy SIII comparison: Still pre-release product mind you.

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/samsung-galaxy-s4-camera.shtml

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

100% crops in dull, flat conditions, the S4 is looking pretty sharp:

In low-light without flash the SIV produces the best white balance, with flash however the result is blueish

After sunset and during night. The S3 overexposes the results to give enough details, the SIV doesn't have to, big improvement in details, dynamic range and white balance. (interestingly the Lumia 920 and the One both add extra brightness during the post-processing, which is visible with brighter skies, the SIV does not add such a layer).

Text in 100% crop
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
These are the bad condition photos mind you, and they look quite good. Struggles come with ISO800 and slow shutter speed that cripple mobile cameras, no miracles here, the photographer struggles to hold it steady at 1/16s. In average to good light conditions we already know it's quite spectacular, looking forward to the final product to check everything in one review.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Those pictures are impressive, it seems it's really much better in low light than the SIII (on which I must use the "Low light" mode in order to get decent pictures in such conditions, but this adds a 1-2 seconds post processing).

Oh and hoangthebn, please stop with the spamming or you might not even reach your 10 posts before getting banned ;)

I think The One gets smoked by S4. I have both devices in preorder and not a "fan" of any device. I have Galaxy S3, One X, Lumia 920, iPhone 5 all in use. Google translate works well to translate russian to english. HTC:s optical image stabilization outdoes S4 in video shake department thou ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
^^ Amazing. Wonderful detail from a 1/3-inch sensor.

Your branchmark test clearly shows it's superiority.

One of my fav was the "coin" comparison. So much better than One and GS3.

Excited to check the final version.

And the size of images are higher than most mobiles :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Article taken down??
[Galaxy S 4 General] TheWolf59:
I see the S4 have 1.6Ghz 8 core processor. It's big on a phone :confused: I hope the S4 not heating a lot :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Nope, it still works for me.

It's actually 2 quad core processors, 1 speedy 1.6Ghz A15 which is very powerful but eats more battery, and 1 very power efficient 1.2Ghz A7 CPU which handles basic tasks like background processes, checking e-mails, etc..

More info in this thread :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191850
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Server issues. Probably everybody's reading the article haha.

Downloaded the One and GSIV fullHD samples, gotta hand it to HTC, it records cleaner audio, plus the two microphones work together flawlessly where you hear just the tiniest background noise when the other mic turns on on the Samsung (when the cameraman talks). The OIS on the HTC is there too, a bit steadier than the SIV, but it comes with the slow-movement issue namely it stutters because it thinks that every start of a moment is shake and tries to stabilize it. But far more disappointing is the constant, non-stop refocusing, something we noticed upon the One launch and it's there in the final version. Dunno what causes it, but it happening all over the place.
[Galaxy S 4 General] eXelero:
if these 2 videos are real and made with the devices mentioned, then I'd say the GS4 rulez them both the iPhone5 and the HTC One.
[Galaxy S 4 General] persheshhater:
then i think the htc one has better camera but will see...by a small margin at least
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Bitrate and fps of the video?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
30fps both, the One's video 20mbit/s and the SIV is 17mbit/s, audio/video combined.

I'm very impressed by the sharpness, even those frames taken from movement in scene are sharp due to the fast shutter speed, though that means no motion blur obviously, so the footage looks very raw. Here are some captures of the sample:

[Galaxy S 4 General] :
I will say the most impressive part for me in the camera was the way it keeps the focus fixed. There is no "focus-hunting" that all mobile cameras seem to suffer from. It was rock steady.
[Galaxy S 4 General] persheshhater:
low light pictures would be the best way to rate a camera. almost all 8+ mp cameras take really sharp pictures nowadays.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
all images downscaled to 3MP :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] chocolazy:
HTC ONE looks sharp. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
sharp ??? maybe i'm blind but the ONE is the worst IMO :cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 General] phil.W:
I'd say the winner is the One even though my current phone is a note 2 and my old phone was a one XL. Though I want to get the upgrades software wise I sill miss having sense on my phone. I still hope one day they integrate their software and social programs a little bit better
[Galaxy S 4 General] yahyoh:
:cyclops: :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 General] expertzero1:
htc one looks much more better to watch because its not as shaky as the s4.

the image stabilization works very nice on the htc one, but its a trade off i guess.

I prefer One coz if it got bricked, it'll be a havier and more beautiful paperweight.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
I hadn't thought of that one.. makes sense.. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
There's a little confusion in an other thread whether different Galaxy S4 versions will feature different camera modules. So far nothing indicates that, we suspect that both the I9500 and the I9505 (and the dual-SIM I9502 version in China) comes with the Sony's BSI Exmor RS sensor, and that is what tech sites have been mentioning irregardless of version. In any case, I arranged the samples based on versions found in EXIF data.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taxmaster:
Hello All,

I'm going to Europe for my honeymoon :highfive: and I'll be visiting Austria, Germany, Italy, and Greece. I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II (SCH-I605) rooted and unlocked (casual) running CleanROM 4.5 and the Perseus 33.4 Kernel.

I'm really confused about the whole SIM card business. I know that if I just go overseas using Verizon as my primary service that I'll go bankrupt. Here are my questions:

1. What SIM card or cards do I need in order to have both data and voice service in those countries? Is there a good one card does all?

2. What is the procedure for using a SIM card? Is there anything special I need to do since my phone already unlocked? Is there a way I could "test" to ensure that it's unlocked

The reason I need to have data is because I will be using GPS a lot in order to find my way around.

I really appreciate the help!!!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taxmaster:

I haven't heard of a roaming "add-on". I know that Verizon has a global package but that it's absolutely sky high in cost in comparison to local plans.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taxmaster:
Lol have you seen the rates that Verizon charges? If I were to even have moderate usage, I could ring up charges that nearly add up to the cost of my transatlantic flight!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cryingfreeman22:
I want bigger battery for my Note2, but only quality battery l found is 6000mAh with battery door, which made from Note2 2cm thickness ugly beast.

Existing some (REAL) 4000-4500mAh with battery door which made Note2 maximum 1,3-1,4cm thickness?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
There is a source I just found for 4200 mAh battery which supposed to be the same dimensions as OEM 3100 mAh battery. I'm waiting to receive it in a few weeks from HK ($8.99 shipped) and will review and report about its actual capacity. It shouldn't be less than 3100 mAh, I hope, and if it really can deliver 4200 mAh - that would be awesome while keeping original battery door and whatever case you are using now.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] robsquared:
In case you're wondering what you might get one of these, just search ebay for 4250 mah note2 gold. Whoever in Cina makes these, makes them for a lot of brands.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
The problem is when you search on ebay you get only 2 choices, one for $25 and another one for $35. And although picture shows a battery with Note 2 label, it has 4 contacts instead of 3 contacts like on OEM battery. I have no idea what they are selling. The one I'm getting is labeled as 4200 mAh Gold model and for a fraction of the price, it has correct 3 contacts and even water damage indicator. But I have no idea about its quality or the actual capacity until I get it. If its everything I expect, I will review and post a link to it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cryingfreeman22:
l know this cheap chinese **** battery . It don't have real 4200 mAh...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
You bought it before or read about it online? What is your experience with it? Can you post a link where you got it from? Also, how were you able to determine its not 4200 mAh?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Daemos:
Lots of reviews on XDA not just for the note 2 but lots of batteries.

Regardless of it being made in China or not, there are lots of scams out there. Batteries that hold more charge must be physically larger, it's a matter of physics, unless if you are buying a battery with some very advanced rechargeable battery tech, but most batteries are li-pol or li-ion and basically in order to have more charge you need more cells, which = bigger battery.

Anyone selling a "extended" battery that is the same size is lying.

The Gold batteries are good quality OEM size batteries, but they won't hold more charge :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Yeah, you are absolutely right. I'm not being naive about it, just hoping that perhaps they were able to increase cell density, somehow?!? I'm not holding my breath it will be 50% increase or so. In my previous Droid X I had original OEM 1500 mAh battery. Then, after 3 months Motorola came up with 1850 mAh extended battery in the same form factor (even so they offered a new battery cover, it was just a hair thicker and fit original battery cover perfectly). And that one was a significant improvement over original capacity. So, I'm just hoping that someone was able to push an envelope to increase density to give at least 20%-25% boost without sacrificing the size. As much as I'm enjoying my current test of Seidio Innocell (4500 mAh) with ACTIVE Extended case, I miss my slim fit UAG case :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
Go to this thread and go down to post 9. I posted my experience with a "gold battery" only to find out the label was just a print to scam buyers. Not only that, the battery never worked and when I was charging it, it started getting dangerously hot.

All in all, stick with branded items that have a good reputation. I paid $675 outright for my phone, and will spend $5 more for the branded battery to keep my pocket from bursting. Also, the external battery charger that come with Hyperion and Onite batteries output .350 A +- .05A so it will slow charge a battery overnight, keeping your battery at its peak life for a longer amount of time.

Does the ROM really matter? Since it's happening on 3 variants of jb (supernexus, cm10.1 and AOSP).

There are various apps that test the accelerometer, you can then check if its a hardware/software issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
You can check in the display make sure to tick it, or if not got to play store and download orientation switch to test it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strelok1911:
The accelerometer totally works. It worked before with GB and it works on JB using an accelerometer test app.

It's the auto-rotation that does not work. Forcing orientation with a play store app works. But I'd like auto-rotation to work

Hi , i have a HTC EVO 3D GSM.

I just tried to flash VIPER3D 1.6.3[sense 4.1] with ROM Manager , i wiped all the data and cache but when the installation finished and phone rebooted , it was again in the SENSE 3.6 but all my apps and stuff were deleted.

Does any one has a clue what to do to flash correctly viper3d ??
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try flashing it via bootloader not ROM manager

I flashed again with 4ext in recovery mode , but now it doesn't boot.It reboots when it says system confirmed... :S:S:

If i remember right ( i used the cdma version for a bit) i think you need to be on hboot 1.58 in order for it to boot. I could be wrong tho
[HTC EVO 3D] gentrithumolli:
Do you know how to upgrade or downgrade hboot , so i can boot again because now im on bootloop.
[HTC EVO 3D] TehJibba:
**EDIT** after reading the latest posts it should work with your current hboot. If you are s-on then try going to 4ext recovery then tools > enable smart flash

also make sure u do a full wipe of everything except the sdcard and then wipe cache-dalvik too then flash the rom
[HTC EVO 3D] gentrithumolli:
OK , i'll try it now , hope it works !

EDIT : It didn't work for that . do you know any ROM that works with hboot 1.53.7777 just to boot my phone ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gentrithumolli:
[SOLVED] with PG86IMG.zip.

For those who have same problem as mine , you just have to download this file and put it in the sd card , reboot in to booloader and wait for the "pres volume up/down" thing , update the hboot and than you will have hboot 1.49.

THANK YOU ALL WHO HELPED ME.

Anyone on Sprint for a few years probably knows the SGS2 (Epic Touch) battery was able to be installed into the SGS1 (Epic) with stock battery door and all for a nice 20% boost in battery life while keeping the OEM battery door.

So the question you should be asking yourself is, will the S4 battery be a drop in replacement into the S3? And how long until a reviewer/blogger tries this out and lets the world know?

Just no bang for the buck here for $50 asking price.

Hi

I have just downloaded the 3.17 modified rom from Jeff's kitchen and using the installer file had it successfully installed into my xda. Firstly- thanks to all xda developers and Jeff for an excellent piece of work.

Only one question though- the D9 (single handed dialer program) don't seem to work- when I tap on it at the launcher, phone folder and even the entry in the windows folder, it showed a message:

"Application error- Cannot find extension file pvbDecl.dll Please run setup to restore the file ".

I tried cold booting a few times and the same thing happens.

Is there something I should do to get it running or do I need to redownload the exe file from Jeff's kitchen?

Hope someone could kindly help.

Thanks

Vic
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Looks like a problem with that installation, no point in redownloading. Probably if you create a ROM that has PocketCHAT also, all will be well.

Hi XDA Developer,

Thanks for quick reply. Interestingly, I have included the Pocket Chat software in the rom and now that you mentioned it, I tried clicking on it and the same message comes out; asking for the same file pvbDecl.dll and suggesting to run setup again.

Any clues how to work this out?

But that page just tells you 're-install' the software causing the problem. It looks like the vb dll wasn't included in the ROM build. I've just used Jeff's ROM kitchen and am getting the same error.

Anyone actually found a copy of the dll and knows 'where to stick it' ??
