It could also date further back. AT&T had the exclusive for the One X (not counting the Sprint mutant) and it didn't sell well. The One X+ which was an exclusive only because no one else sold it didn't do well either. HTC was pretty confident in the 2012 One-series being their salvation so they may have made some type of volume guarantee to AT&T. So with the volume guarantee not met HTC may be using the 64GB One as a "make good." All pure speculation of course. ;) With AT&T's rather poor sales track record with HTC last year I doubt the other carriers were eager to follow in their footsteps just because the One's "pretty." They are less emotionally attached to devices than we are.

AT&T could care less what phone someone buys as long as they buy wireless service from AT&T. The exceptions being the iPhone's cost which makes it less profitable for AT&T over other phones and I'm guessing with their success Samsung's net cost to carriers is higher than HTC's. AT&T will push the hell out of the SGS4 simply because it's going to be a "hot" device based on past success and Samsung's gazillion dollars of marketing and it will help them attract and retain customers. Some of those gazillions are probably going to AT&T in the form of co-op dollars and incentives to make the SGS4 their "featured" Android phone.

Who needs who more? The carriers needing HTC or HTC needing the carriers? The DNA, the world's first 1080P 5” smartphone, flopped on VZW even with all the marketing they applied to it and it being given the “Droid” name. If Sprint had the One U.S. exclusive does anyone here think people would leave their existing carrier because they "had to have it?" I would venture that if Sprint didn't sell the SGS4 they'd lose customers. Based on sales, the One X exclusive last year sure didn't bring new customers flocking to AT&T. Once the initial fanfare's over I think the One will probably do better than the One X did last year but HTC will be lucky to meet their goal of selling twice as many which is 25% of the SGS4's Samsung thinks it will sell. And Best Buy’s stock went up 14% today because analysts think the “Samsung Experience” mini-stores are going to help their profitability. And that certainly isn’t going to be good for the One that’ll have a dummy device tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a “free” LG phone. HTC’s got bigger issues in 2013 than the impact of “exclusives.”

My wife asked me that just the other day, whether we should look into T-Mobile or not. I thought about saying a lot of things, but ended up just saying, "I don't do pink!" :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] Swisser:
Yea this isn't true... if it is $199 with a two year contract you will be taxed on $199... Not the out of contract price...
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
Doesn't matter! I am on AT&T Prepaid! So contract prices don't bother me. Total price is what matters.

I am gonna try to find me a Exynos model and ship it to US. I can survive with slower internet speeds. I cannot survive without 4 cores.

And for me... Prepaid rocks. Cheaper, no hassle!
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I am seriously thinking about it. I have been with AT&T for several years. They were actually Cingular when I joined them. I was with Verizon for about 2 years and decided I didn't like them. In the past, T-Mobile wasn't a choice because of their limited area, but that has changed. I live in the Atlanta area and although there is still less coverage with T-Mobile, it is quickly increasing. It is to the point that I don't think it will be a problem any more. I think T-Mobile will have LTE here soon and even at regular 3G / 4G the speeds are fast enough for me.

I am going to wait and see what the final pricing of the phone will be and the different deals that are available before I make a final decision. If I keep the plan of buying the phone 100%, T-Mobile might be the way I go.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

Snapdragon will have 4 cores and LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
I should have said the extra 4 cores.

As far as leaving AT&T, no question i wont. If i had to move on, i would do to a better platform (Verizon) rather than the inferior one. T-Mobile call quality just sucks here in Dallas.

I can go through my month with $65.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
The biggest draw I could see for people moving to T-Mobile is their uncapped unlimited data and unlimited voice and MMS. For people on an individual plan that consume high amounts of those things T-Mobile will save them a lot of money. Family Share takes care of voice and data but makes AT&T almost equal in price to T-Mobile for someone who can manage their data use. Adding a tablet makes AT&T much cheaper than T-Mobile. The numbers are always going to be different based on T-Mobile's down/monthly payment compared to the upfront subsidized price on AT&T. I'd compare T-Mobile's subsidized VAR pricing (EG: Costco) to their direct contract-less pricing too. The VAR's aren't going to be undersold. Using the $79 SGS3 as an example T-Mobile's 12% cheaper over two years. Happy comparing. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
$1800 on AT&T Prepaid i am predicting.
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Thanks for the chart. So the question becomes is the $250 (or more) savings with T-Mobile enough of a savings to overcome slightly limited service areas? Right off hand, I'll say yes, but I have some more thinking and research to do.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hell_storm2004:
Depends on where you live really. There are some places where T-Mobile service is very good. If you are in those places. Where i live that $250 seems pocket change when compared to call drop issues.
[Galaxy S 4 General] play2lose:
Not correct. It must depend on the state.

I know that in Nevada if I use my upgrade for a $99 Galaxy S3, my total will come out to $135 because I'll be taxed on the full amount of the phone ($450) w/o upgrade. Unless they've changed something in the past few months, but it's been this way since 2008 up to October 2012 for me.

You can get around the tax by ordering through Amazon though ;) but they usually take a bit longer for devices to come out.

ANYWAY, to stay on topic: I'm really glad that $249 price was just a mess up, and it's even better to learn that the 32gb will only cost $249! When I heard that the 16gb would be $249 from AT&T I thought they were crazy. Not a very good way to compete with the iPhone 5 when most of the mass audience sees the iPhone 5 as "just as good" or even being better than the S4. I thought that it may have just been a rumor until that they were pricing it that high I didn't think it was official, had no idea they actually posted it on their own AT&T blog.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DarkMage619:
It's a big mistake because HTC can't affort to limit who has access to their phones. It's great that at&t is a large network but they aren't even the largest network in America. By limiting the 64GB One to just their network they are limiting their potential audience when they can't affort to do that. They aren't like Apple where people will join a carrier just to get their device. at&t better be paying them TONS of money for the exclusive. Even if ithey are it still won't help them in the long run because it doesn't put their phones in more people's hands.

This is still outside of my question though. Does anyone know if the SGS4 64GB is at&t exclusive? If so that really does suck for me.

The Dark One
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Nope. You better check your receipt. The phones price is subsidized by ATT not the taxes though.

Might be different by state but in CA you are taxed on the full price.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Yes it is. And we don't know how much ATT paid HTC for exclusivity but I'm sure it was well worth it if HTC went through with it.

In USA ATT is the largest company. HTC probably looked at the quantity that the other companies bid, crunched some numbers, realized ATT wanted to stock the most and was willing to pay for exclusive ability and saw that it was more profitable this way as people on other carriers will still buy a HTC one.

[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Big.LITTLE natively supports multiprocessing mode and can run from 1-8 cores simultaneously. What that means to heat dissipation and battery life is a whole seperate conversation. ;)

From ARM...

big.LITTLE task migration

involves running software only on one CPU cluster at a time. The complete software

stack is migrated between clusters opportunistically such that the stack is primarily running on any one cluster at a

time. Shoehorning this capability into existing, well-established, power-performance management techniques such

as DVFS is relatively simple and allows the DVFS curve to span across the two clusters. DVFS system software

typically scales operating frequency and voltage in response to load variations. In a big.LITTLE task migrating

design, the DVFS system treats a cluster task migration as additional operating points that extend the DVFS curve.

Thus, a cluster migration is effected when a cluster is underutilized or when it is not able to service the current load

requirements. The fact that this migration can be driven by existing software power-management mechanisms makes

it very attractive to system designers and SoC vendors.

big.LITTLE multiprocessing

involves scaling a single execution environment across both clusters. Here the

operating system will require a higher degree of customization in order to extract maximum benefit from the design.

For example, the scheduler subsystem will need to be aware of the power-performance capabilities of the different

processors and will need to introspectively (or otherwise) map tasks to suitable processors. ARM recognizes this

style as the one that shall be most prevalent in the longer term as operating systems incorporate this technology with

sophisticated policy management.​

It's kind of the opposite. ARM suggests 60-75% of what people do most will never leave the A7 cluster with the A15's kicking in when more power's necessary.
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I just visited the online AT&T Community (US) and they still have the 2 year contract price for the S4 officially listed at $249.00. It didn't say what memory level it was. I was under the impression that the first offerings were of the 16 GB version. I guess, just like everything else involving this phone, we will just have to wait until the day the begin to sell to find out what is fact and what is fiction.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RaptorMD:
It has been clarified by AT&T that the 16GB is $199 and 32GB is $249 so we should be good to go on Tuesday for Pre-Orders.

:oops:

First post :P

I've had my XDAI for ages and the microphone (or whatever is in it) has just died! When just using applications and games or whatever there is sound coming out of the speaker and I can hear people speaking when taking the call. I just cant speak to them. I tried recording me when taking the call. It records like the first second if that, then crackles and doesnt record anymore. So I assume the microphone is cactus? :\

I can talk through the handsfree but I do need the microphone.

If this is the problem, easy to replace, source part etc.? Remembering Im in Australia (ho hum) and yes I do have a T-Mobile I got second hand in the states, bought it back to Australia and threw a Telstra SIM in it.

Your comments and thoughts are appreciated. Love this board, too much good info. for a newbie to absorb.

Thanks again :lol:

To be honest I never had a handsfree until the microphone started to play up.

Bluetooth bugs are dependent on the base ROM you are using to port MIUi. If you have a Bluetooth bug in the base ROM, then your ported ROM will have it too. :)

BTW, have you re sized the entire Launcher in your ROM? By that I mean the lockscreen player displaying album art properly.

for the bugs as u stated earlier; browser and screenshot bugz can easily be resolved by 3rd party app.. so i don't call these "a bug"...

for the "woozy graphics" u stated that very well! there is nothing we developers do about it but to resolve that issue one can choose a theme that is "actually" resized for ldpi. most of the themes are not resized just directly ported from mdpi/hdpi to ldpi. in fact all the icons in .mtz should be resized to fit ldpi... it can easily be done though...
