[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
The Exynos supports LTE so the whole question you're posing is loaded with misinformation.

The question you should be asking why Samsung decided to pair it up with the Qualcomm instead; that has some more meaningful answers and hypothesises:

- The Octa is not ready for mass-production in the quantity so to satisfy the demand for the biggest flagship phone on the market right now.

- Because of the above, they chose to multi-source the SoC.

- Because the LTE models are supposedly globally multi-band it is easier to engineer only two models.

- Why did they even release it as such - that's what most people are angry about; it sucks for the enthusiasts but it makes perfect sense from a business perspective. Release it early so to catch as many users as possible who would be otherwise tempted by the HTC One or the Z.

And who says that we won't get a refresh with Exynos and LTE.

That argument is useless here. The Snapdragon 600 doesn't have an integrated modem so they still need a separate LTE chip. And also proven by demonstration by the many new LTE devices which separate chip (Note 2, i9305, One), the battery argument is again something which seemed to be pulled out of thin air last year.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Livebyte:
It's unlikely we will get a refresh with Exynos + LTE. Even the Korean LTE versions are Snapdragon-based.

We might see them earliest in Note 3.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
It's up to Samsung.

Japan also got a refresh and was in the same situation; original release was the Qualcomm S3, then they got the S3 Alpha which is basically an i9305 with the Note 2 Exynos revision. T-Mobile are also adopting their M3 (i9305) variant.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Wild ass guess.

They used Exynos 4 in tablets last year so they had plenty and still multi-sourced.

Until the RF360 comes out LTE radios are hardware limited as to the bands they support so there are multiple radio configurations based on where the device is to be sold or used.

Wild ass guess. How many mainstream users know what an Octa or Snapdragon is and would care if they did?

A wild ass guess I'd agree with based on it driving more profit for Samsung by using their own SoC.

Why did Samsung deploy the N2 with Exynos/LTE and not the SGS3?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Qualcomm didn't start offering a standalone LTE+GSM combo solution until late 2012 as far as I know. And Samsung did eventually offer an Exynos+LTE SGS3 with the I9305, which was released in fall 2012.

I suspect the Exynos vs. Qualcomm difference has nothing to do with LTE but is for some other reason, as others have said, the Snapdragon variants are not using one of the Qualcomms with integrated baseband, but one of the standalone modem chipsets (like the Xperia Z and Nexus 4 do... And in fact I think every quad-Krait device on the market is using an APQ with an external modem chipset.) Probably production rampup is one of the issues, also, the Exynos5 "Octa" is not by any means a proven platform, so Samsung might be sticking with a more proven base for the majority of their devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
I think you're massively mistaking amplifiers and actual modems. The modems are identical on all models since they're compatible with everything. The Note 2 LTE variants are globally the same thing and the only difference are the antennas and amplifiers.

"Last year" encompasses a period of 12 months, so please think a bit before doing such arguments. The S3 was launched on May 29th while the second device to have the Exynos was the Galaxy Note 10.1 in mid-August. That's already a 3-month period between devices and in manufacturing terms, that's an eternity. Furthermore you're comparing a device in double-digit million sales within the first two months to a tablet which basically nobody bought.

Furthermore they did not release it with LTE because at the time there wasn't any discrete modem available and only Qualcomm's MSM offered LTE capability. This is the same reason the Tegra 3 One X never came out in the LTE enabled countries, they were in exactly the same situation. The Note 2 (And i9305) came out with the Exynos + Qualcomm because the MDM9215 was specifically available as a discrete chip by that time.

Also please refrain from calling things wild ass guesses when your own claims are even more uninformed.

Check this:

BTW, does s600 have integrated LTE? I believe not.

I recall the model name was APQ***

s800 is supposed to have integrated LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
No, the 600 being included in the GS4 is an APQ - which means no integrated baseband.

While there are quad Kraits with integrated modem on Qualcomm's roadmap, they are quite rare. As in I have yet to see a quad-Krait device that wasn't an APQ.

Could be related to the yield issues mentioned in the PDF above.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1337RYoN:
Can you give more information on which LTE bands exynos supports?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Exynos4 and Exynos5 don't support ANY LTE bands directly. In fact they don't have built in wireless capability of any form. Neither does the Snapdragon 600 that is going to be sold in the GS4, neither does the APQ8064 used in many current Qualcomm quad-Krait devices.

All of the above depend on an external modem chipset, in almost all cases for LTE devices Qualcomm MDM9x15 or MDM9x25. Band support is determined by the RF frontend chipset (Qualcomm WTR1605L in all cases probably) and what bands the manufacturer added RF frontend filters for.

There is nothing that prevents a MDM9x15 or 9x25 from being hung off of an Exynos4 or Exynos5 (in fact, that's what was done for LTE Note2 variants).

The misconception that "this or that CPU doesn't support LTE" comes from the early days of LTE when the only multiband multimode modem was Qualcomm's, and initially Qualcomm only provided it in the form of fully integrated MSM CPU+baseband solutions. But since Qualcomm started selling the standalone MDM9615 last fall or so, there's nothing preventing any CPU with HSIC support (which basically any modern CPU has) from having LTE connectivity.

Exynos "Octa" not having LTE almost surely has nothing to do with technical incompatibilities but everything to do with Samsung not wanting to put all of their eggs in one basket with an unproven highly complex processor.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPG24:
so what will be the better choice ? Snapdragon or Exynos, if both support 4G?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkaysi:
Now if the extnos octa does support lte, which I believe it does just not American frequencies. If it has a Qualcomm radio and its model supports multi band or world radio chip that support everything (forgot model number). Can a different modem enable those lte bands or is it all hardware related??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattKneale:
S4 Exynos 5 import -- 4g works?

Absolute novice here, so if it's not down to technical reasons would an imported GS4 with the Exynos 5 still actually work with 4G networks, or will it just not work end-of? Would there be any way to mod the phone's firmware to get the 4G supported, or is the failure due to the hardware itself?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopri:
Same question here. Furthermore, I am curious as to why no one else makes LTE modem besides Qualcomm.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Each device is customized for the bands it will run on. See the Note2 as an example - There are multiple t0lte variants, the N7105, I317 (AT&T), T-Mobile version, Sprint version, Verizon version - Each had RF frontend hardware customized for their target carrier/region. The CPU was the same (Exynos), the modem was the same (MDM9615), the primary RF chipset was the same (WTR1605L I *think*), but the RF frontend filter and switching circuitry was different for each variant, meaning you couldn't just flash an I317 baseband to N7105 and get AT&T LTE support for example.

As to why no one else is making an LTE modem besides Qualcomm - Qualcomm have more experience with these things than any other company. Many of the core principles of communications theory were created by Qualcomm's founders. Principles of Communication Engineering is still considered the Bible of communications theory, written by Wozencraft and Jacobs (Jacobs being one of the founders of Qualcomm, along with Andrew Viterbi, famous for the Viterbi Algorithm.) Same reason Qualcomm was the first company to achieve reasonably power-efficient UMTS baseband chipsets.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sayf123:
Need some help guys, can't seem to find something specific to my problem.

Was on stock ICS with Siyah kernel and my write and read were working with my ntfs hardrive.

After JB was downloaded ota, i reflashed to stock ics and installed JB and tried the speedmod and siyeah kernel.

Tried using stick mount and other apps for ntfs support but decided to go back to ICS as it wasn't working. Used the same ICS setup as before.

Now whether i use paragon, ntfs mounter etc the system will allow me to write to the NTFS hdd but literally for only 1-2 seconds before it is forced to untmount and remount on its own. Does anyone know what is wrong? I tried using cmw to restore a old backup and still very chopy to even keep my hardrive mounted for a little while.

If no one knows a solution specific to that, what is the process for reverting to stock everything. Not just a factory reset.

*Edit* It doesnt seem to even remain mounted while browsing.

Thank you

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] dadarkmcse:
Ok, this is a weird one:

I have a powered mount from Seidio, but whenever I try to use my phone in it, I get a horrible static interference that is just loud enough to be very annoying. If I put my finger up to the antenna, it goes away, which makes me think its EMI that I'm grounding, and if I take the antenna off (I have one of those T-Mos that has a removable antenna - not by design, just by crappy glue) and the spring off from underneath, the interference goes down substantially. Anyone have an idea on fixing this problem?

Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
I like 'em weird...

I would not use the unit without the antenna spring: you're possibly causing the unit to transmit at maximum power (because it's going to report low receive levels to the network) into a badly matched antenna, possibly causing damage to the final stage of transmitter, and/or causing abnormally high RF levels to hit the receive filter, the receiver or any other parts inside.

I'm not familiar with your 'powered mount'. And what exactly does the interference sound like? I can't easily imagine 'static' as in a white-noise or pink-noise hissing sound or high-frequency clicking or cracking. Is it the normal GSM 'whining sound' (with the characteristic 'whaaa, whamanap, whamanap, whamanapnap' when you hang up?). If so, try shielding the power (and possibly audio) wires from the antenna. Aluminum foil, pieces of metal, anything goes.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bei60:
I want to buy this protector... But I had some bad experience with the defender series. It was thick, heavy and the rubber started to strech a few weeks after I bought it. Now, I want to buy the commuter series which looks good on my friends galaxy s2... Ive checked out some reviews and its not as thick as the defender. It looks great on my friends S2. So I thought I might buy this from my S3.

Will the power and volume button be easy to use?

What do you guys think? Will it be 30 dollars well spent?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] benniebeeker:
I have the commuter on my galaxy nexus. Zero major complaints. The power and volume buttons work every time I hit them. My only gripe is putting it on. Takes a little finesse to get the plastic over the silicone. Not a deal breaker as long as you aren't the kind of person who takes the battery out constantly.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bei60:
Hows the grip? Does it slide in your hand or is it steady?

Thanks but Im talking about the commuter, I already have the defender :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] benniebeeker:
I would say its pretty steady. Then again my hands are huge and have a solid wrap around grip on it. I've had the case for roughly a year and I can't recall a time where the phone has slipped out of my hand.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bei60:
How slim is it? It doesn't add a bulk like the defender does, right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] benniebeeker:
I've never seen the defender in person so I can't make an honest comparison. It does add a little thickness to all sides of the phone but I wouldn't say that it's much more bulky than the phone itself already is. You are talking about an s3 which is already a bulkier phone than my nexus. I doubt you will notice a big difference in your pocket. In hand, yes but that its expected since you are putting a cover on your phone.
