New Review!

New review is up for the KING! Everything we know so far is confirmed again! Exynos is around 10-15% faster than S600, it has a superb camera - the best from current flagships, a great video recording, a superb screen only HTC One slightly tops it mainly for its brightness, superb battery- 2x time in video playing with full brightness compared to HTC One, Great Loudspeaker but HTC One is better, and most important it has the richest-complete software packet in total! To sum up, the review ends up with this: '' it is possible to be called the best companion for every day'' I couldn't agree more!

Wireless charging review:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-wireless-charging-pad-review/

The wireless charging plate takes 3:54 to fully charge, which is not very fast, and GSMA question the usefulness of the thing. The USB/Wall charging takes a very impressive 1:51 however, that one is excellent news as a quick 20m charge will give you a manageable 20% which comes handy when the battery's running dry.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shox22:
Pretty fair test! The maximum brightness of the s4 is 283cd/m² (have fun in the sun ;)). The maximum brightness of the one is 492cd/m². That is a 75% difference. Why didnt they run it at the same brightness? Lets say at 200cd/m²?

Not a really fair rundown test, isnt it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Because videos are unwatchable on the HTC One below max brightness.

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-one-1131862/review/9#articleContent

At 200cd/m2 the far more saturated, deeper black, less reflective and more contrasty S4 would still beat out the One in endurance where it would give much, much better viewing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shox22:
And where exactly did you read that? For sure not in the quote you posted. Techradar just says, that the AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS is too low. Nothing else.

Yep, cause the blacks getting worse on lower brightnesses on lcds, right? The s4 4+4 would probably still win in endurance, but not by much.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
I will requote it this one time.

"So why does the HTC One, with a perfectly bright and capable screen, not manage to play movies back very well?" = there are video watching issues.

"We downloaded The Amazing Spiderman from its HTC Watch service to check it out in HD, and we were disappointed by the results. The screen was too dark in automatic brightness mode, and when turned up full, sucked the battery at a horrendously fast rate." = they needed to turn up brightness, and that drained battery.

"It's like the Taiwanese firm doesn't want you watching videos on the HTC One. If you've got a bright enough scene on show, the HTC One can play it back smoothly and crisply. However, take it down a notch in brightness and suddenly you're struggling" = darker scenes (most clips and movies due to cinematic lighting) are struggling to watch.

This all means you need to turn up the brightness, like the review said, not to struggle while watching videos, which drains the battery fast. That's what they said. That's what I said. That's why the 200cm/2 test is pointless, because at 40% brightness the One is not good enough for movies. And at 200cm/2 the S4 would be the better watch AND better endurance. So what is not fair of the GSMA arena controlled test, I do not understand.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shox22:
Its in my hand right now. I did the test with amazing spiderman trailer on minimum brightness (not dark here). It was watchable. Best results on -autobrightness (about 25-30%). Its absolutly fluid and nice to watch in full hd. Blacks are not as black as on amoled (ofc), but really good for a lcd.

This is the only review where the video playback quality was reviewed not that good, right? (aka: "it's not a deal breaker, but really, we expected better from a flagship phone.")
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
When you have the S4 is in your hand in average light conditions, set both at a brightness where an average movie scene has identical visibility, and make the test. That's what they already did, and Samsung won.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SAVVAS.:
Lets be realistic here, you won't be going to see a video or even a full movie outside in the sun! So if we consider that you are indoors then I would say that the maximum brightness of S4 will provide a better movie experience even if H1 has double the brightness because AMOLED has superior contrast so the review may compared the best settings and movie experience of both of them and came to the conclusion that it has 2x endurance according again to the optimal experience when someone expects when using both of them on video! Still if you leave the experience and the realism aside then I will definitely agree with you that the comparison in not that fair but another reason for the result could be that the S4 plays the video using the A7 cores ( I think!) which are way more efficient that S600 or A15 and thus increases the battery endurance considerably at video playing! I hope I have expressed correctly my logic:silly:
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Of course according the GSMA the Samsung has the better outdoor visibility (lower max brightness but lower reflectability and higher contrast ratio), so indoors, outdoors, AMOLED is simply better for videos and has more endurance. But we all knew this, the question we asked was whether PenTile will bother us and if Samsung can produce a screen with natural color balance. The answer is no on PenTile issues and almost on AdobeRGB natural color reproduction, so the screen is not perfect. But it's still the best tech for video viewing, especially at FHD.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SAVVAS.:
Fully agree and with the manual and auto display settings I don't see any reason to be worried about on the contrary it gives you more flexibility,power and options to better enjoy what you are about to see whether is a video, picture,game or surf the internet.

Hi

Just last evening I checked the System Updates on my unrooted Droid 4 and there it was! Upgraded it.

Project Butter lives upto the mark. Works smooth like butter.

The ONLY UGLY issue am facing:

My data from the network is somehow locked, or in short, not working. Visited Vodafone gallery (Am from India & on GSM) & they checked the settings, which were fine, but still the data is not working. The SIM when inserted on another phone, data works fine.

NEED HELP!

Please, suggest me how I can make the data work on my Droid 4!

Please!

Currently my phone is technically paralyzed because of this issue!

[General Questions and Answers] saleenman95:
I hope that this is the right area to post, if it is not I am sorry and please move it. Thank you!

So, I am heading off to college and I want to get a smart phone. But I am way too cheap to pay for a data plan from a major carrier.

I currently have a Net10 brick phone and use their $30 for 60 days cards. So, I am essentially paying a $15/month service. I like the idea of Net10's "bring your own phone" plan that is $50/month with unlimited everything.

I have decided that what ever phone I may get, it needs to be under $250, run Android 4+, have a dual-core 1GHz or higher, and have 4G capability.

Now, I really like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and I can get one from eBay used for around $250, but I found the BLU Quattro 4.5 for $240 and it looks like one heck of a phone for the price. So my question is, which one should I get, or should I get something else?

Thank you,

saleenman95
[General Questions and Answers] j21blackjack:
I just received the Blu Quattro 4.5 from Amazon. It's a great phone, crazy fast. It doesn't support 4G LTE, but I'm pretty sure it will work on Tmobile's H+ 4G, haven't tried it yet though. Also Tmobile now does unlimited plans with 500MB data for $50/month no contract.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I see what the development for the Blu Quattro is and compare things like micro SD and removeable battery. If you're buying the phone yourself I think being able to replace the battery will really extend the life of the device and save you trouble. I'd check the bands against your provider and service area.

Just taking a peek, the SII has multiple 4.2.2 ROMs. Another quick look doesn't really turn up anything for the other phone. Something like re-flashing the stock ROM can save you in some situations even if you haven't used custom ROMs. Things can go wrong.

T-Mobile still has the 100min/unlimited text/5Gb 4G data plan through WAL*MART if that's enough minutes for you or you'd be able to call over VOIP (data or wifi) to extend that.

[Android Software Development] interloper:
The best device is the Galaxy S3. The wifi are from different OEMs ad the displays are obviously different, but most of the rest is the exactly the same. I've even been able to build a 1.5ghz kernel to match the S3. There is already some modding being done and an almost booting port of CM-10, but it's all on AndroidForums.

Can anyone provide me with info for a custom ROM for this tablet?

I have looked everywhere but cannot root the thing and cannot find any roms other than the stock one.

I am having some very bad wifi problems with this ROM. Disconnecting and reconnecting, hanging on connecting/obtaining ip address. etc

Was hoping someone could provide a more stable ROM.

I can use the device as a test for someone if they want to help me cook a new ROM

Any help would be appreciated.

I know that's a total noob question despite my being around these forums for a long time but I don't fool with kernels on my phone and my battery life seems to have gotten a little worse on my tablet since rooting last week.

If you have the time, can you explain?

Thanks!

(I tried searching kernel... huge list of responses... read the official kernel index but it was from 2012 and I think it just covered ASUS kernels...)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
A kernel manages system resources (CPU, memory, storage, devices). It offers functionality for user applications to use these resources in a standardized way.

For more details, read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)

To extend battery life, you can use power saving mode which limits the maximum CPU frequency. And/or you can use a kernel that allows undervolting, e.g. the that4 kernel, but note that undervolting can result in system instability.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
_that offers good information here...

From a fellow layman's perspective and some dabbling with the guts of Windows early on.

For myself the best explanation of the kernel for any OS can be described as an underlayment.

Like the framework of a building...devices are added in the form of resources such as wiring, doors, hallways, rooms and other devices to direct traffic.

Some kernels are complex with tons of featuring others are simple.

Using the building framework analogy again kernels operate in a separate space from the user.

The "kernelspace" is the building and "userspace" is us operating inside the building so to speak.

The guy to ask about light flexible micro kerneling vs the monolithic approach would be Linus Torvalds :cool: j\king
