I don't doubt that the Exynos is faster and might have better battery life. But those differences are most likely MINIMAL, not as HUGE as the topic says.

I've never gone below %30 on my SGS3, I'm always around a plug somewhere. And the speed differences is so small it's a joke that people think the few milliseconds they save is going to add up and really pay it off.

My main interest now is LTE since it is located in almost all the areas I live in with speeds up to 20 mbps compared to HSPA+ which max gets about 4 or 5.

For the people that can get the Exynos version without any sacrifices over the S600 they should get it without question. But if you have to go out of your way and spend a little more to get a Exynos over a S600, the differences are so minimal that the sacrifices you are making probably isn't worth it. Now that's truth.

Why spend about $100 more to sacrifice LTE abilities in your device in your area to get a minimal speed difference? There's a good chance that since all the S600s will have interchangeable roms just like all the SGS3 S4s did including proper sources for development.

Actually A15 cores are quite powerful and in future some heavy cpu games could come out ,which may give some advantage,but those A15 cores are power constrained on a phone....

Waiting for some reviews to come out for this.

I think I9500 is better
[Galaxy S 4 General] Canard caché:
It's not drivers update but firmware!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Derpston:
Games depend much more on GPU. Those small CPU differences wont mean a thing atleast not for the next 3-4 years. And while we're at it we'll see cortex-A57 used as the replacement of A15 by then.
[Galaxy S 4 General] i9100g user:
Currently games mostly depend on gpu but we might see cpu intensive games earlier than you are thinking.(I read that somewhere, I will give you the source).

And before A-57 we will see A15 on 22nm(next year) which would showcase its true power.

4.2 update on qualcomm s600 devices brings big performance improvement , you can look at benchnarks of snapdragon GS4(4.2) and HtC one (4.1).

Performance difference are big there.

So 4.2 update on s600 updates gpu drivers , causing big improvement in performance. Any thing else ?.

BUT not LTE supporting is a BIIIIIIIIIIG difference.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Yeah, you're right, the 9505 is better. Now go and buy it (leave us... the smar... I mean... dumbest Sammy fans buying the poor 9500. :D). There will a smaller number of units available with Exynos, so better leave the caviar... I mean... Sh*t for us :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Even if it is 10% faster. Is the difference really huge?

Lets say it takes an app 3 seconds to load. A 10% difference would make it load in 2.7 seconds.

Is anyone really going to notice that difference?

Lets not forget that the Exynos isn't going to be running on its BIG cores all the time either, and the reason being is because the requirement to open most apps don't require so much power since the difference is negligible.

[Galaxy S 4 General] abun880007:
what's this about i9500 not having 4g LTE support, I thought it had been confirmed by Samsung that it supports the same 20 LTE bands that the i9505 does.
[Galaxy S 4 General] squabbi:
Its a korean conspiracy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
FOr some reason that image also as the mAh wrong on the battery.

People misinterpreted it or at least there is no actual proof. The claim was that the Exynos can support a LTE chip just as from all the bands if they needed it to, just as well as the S600 does. Doesn't mean that it will.

[Galaxy S 4 General] -]Megacharge[-:
Same here, I think Virgin Mobile Canada is only getting the S600 version, but it's great for me because I want the S600 version. I'm not interested in the Exynos version at all. The S600 has a lot going for it. It has a strong GPU that rivals the PowerVR in the Exynos, it has good enough CPU performance for me, I won't notice the difference between the 2 CPU's, and the S600 will have better dev support.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MultiLockOn:
Mod edit: While I appreciate your opinion, I believe the exynos blows the s600 out of the water. In both CPU and GPU. However that's besides the point. The big factor will be hardware software optimization, which will be leagues better in the exynos model. In that sense the exynos s4 will have much better performance, fluidity, stability, battery life, etc. The power consumption by the soc's comparitively is nothing compared to the advantages of good engineering. The iPhone uses a piece of crap battery but somehow outlasts half the android phones out now with Bluetooth WiFi GPS and data all active, because IOS users rarely toggle any of them off. The exynos in performance is much superior. Not to mention a great sound card.

[Galaxy S 4 General] MultiLockOn:
Those links provided no info, except some generalizations on a15 battery drain. Unoptimized benchmarks mean squat to me. Its a simple matter of architecture. The s600 is exactly the same as the krait s4/s4 pro with support for ddr3 ram and a faster ram bus. The krait s4 was no more than a fast a9 chip, nowhere near a15 performance. Hell it barely beat out the exynos 4 series in speed, what makes you think what is essentially an over clocked s4 pro can outperform an a15 chip now? And graphical benchmarks are as fickle as they come. The iPad 3/4 outperform every tablet out there in gaming despite their massive resolution. Imagination tech has always been ahead in terms of GPUs, and Sammy essentially more than doubled the clock speed of what's in the iPhone. You could say the iPhone has better gaming performances than just about every android phone (which is does sadly) for two reasons. Either the powervr chips blow away the matching generation of adreno tegra and Mali GPUs, OR, games are better optimized for the powervr. In the end the powervr chip seems like the better choice no matter what. Sorry for coming off rude earlier, i meant no disrespect. Just stating the facts because i too am heart broken at the lack of exynos.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -]Megacharge[-:
They don't provide info if you don't want to see it. You also need to read posts more thoroughly before responding to people. I said I'm not interested in CPU (the Exynos is obviously more powerful in that department) but the differences will be negligible to me in real world performance, I'm only concerned with GPU. Adreno 320, is performing quite excellent in games.

Another S4 Exynos gameplay thread I posted shows the S4 with it's PowerVR also struggling to maintain a fluid frame rate in Modern Combat 4 and Real Racing 3, which the HTC One handles far better. For a PowerVR GPU that's supposed to have the best game developer optimization, it's not looking all that special right now and Adreno's enhancements seem to be putting it on par and even better in some cases.

[Galaxy S 4 General] AndreiLux:
You're even quoting it correctly; is it that hard to differentiate between charging rate and capacity? The FCC doesn't care what size your battery is, it cares how much current flows to the device.

Haha look at the the difference between MA and mAh

And AndreiLux, how much better will the battery life be on I9500 over I9505 in your opinion?

Exactly. I am just saying people think that it's not the GS4 based on just seeing the 1300MA.

Using XDAII as wireless modem under Bluetooth & GPRS. Folloed guide: http://www.xda-2.co.uk/user_downloads/pdf/Xda_II_Modem_Setup_Guide.pdf. Worked perfectly. (D-Link USB Bluetooth using Widcomm 1.4.2).

BUT NO HTTP! Ping, Telnet, DNS resolution, perfect. Not http.

Looks like might be a DNS recolution on the in-line proxy O2 use, as calling web sites with IP numbers sometimes gets some data.

Obviously, IP with no HTTP is not much good these days, even if it would keep my O2 bill down.

Thanks to any person who can suggest a fix.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dharkan:
Hi everyone,

I know almost nothing about customs roms or flashing or things like that but I decided that I've been acting ignorant about them. I decided to root my device and flash a rom when I find one that I like.

But I got a one question; I read quite a few times that custom roms limit the capabilities of camera interfaces. With Zoe on its way, I wouldn't want to sacrifice on that feature.

Do you think there'll be roms that can enable it along with doing all the tricks a custom rom does?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
If any customized functionality is lost, its usually on AOSP roms. The stock and stock based roms will retain all functionality, unless its removed by the dev himself

The reason is that HTC roms come with a proprietary framework called Sense that gives you things like the quick-settings in status bar, extra camera options

AOSP roms are basically what a Nexus device receives as its update from Google. The manufacturers then take this and add their own spin on it

Samsung takes and add their Touchwiz framework, LG takes it and adds their LG UI, and HTC takes it and add their Sense interface

So as you can see, AOSP roms are basically stripped down versions of these OEM-skinned roms, and its these OEM skins that will add things like extra camera options (something HTC is very famous for > its awesome camera apps)

Ok, it looks like the issue is with boot.img it appears to reflash the stock recovery on reboot. Its been talked about in the oppoforums and there seems to be an easy fix using adb shell

Use adb shell to disable it, but you need to have root. Here are command lines :

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system/etc
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.old
exit
exit
adb reboot

Recovery should now stick.
