[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyirishman:
Hey

Updated Rom, on WanamLite and had to clear the contact storage on the phone. Backed up the contacts to SD card and then imported them again to phone. Have them also backed up to gmail account. Have the phone set to view contacts on gmail account those with phone number. On the contacts this is perfect as only have singular contacts. The problem I have is with the SMS contacts. Have handcent and when I go to create a text and chose a contacts there are duplicate contacts?? Went into my google mail contacts and the contacts where duplicated here so removed them and synced phone. I also tried removing Handcent and reinstalling but same problem, Also cleared data and still duplicate contacts??

Is there anyway to remove the duplicate contacts? Tried googling and cannot find the solution. Any other options?

Thanks

The snapdragon is a 600 series with 4 cores that's more then xbox which uses only a 3 core cpu.. And is much much older then the snapdragon 600 plus the ati graphics card of 512mb in xbox 360 is garbage to the snapdragon 600 and it 2gigs of ram. The gs4 beats hands down the xbox360 in all specs sooooooo can I run 360 games on it?? I can't think of anything in the xbox360 that the snapdragon 600 in gs4 won't be able to handle the only thing that comes remotely close is the surrounded system 5.1 dolby digital dts I know for a fact snapdragon can't do that but I think that's about it on all front the gs4 blows the xbox 360 in all specs and hardware :) so when shall we start the emulation....

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapple232:
Mobile processors, especially tablets, are approaching the 360 in raw power (but not there yet), but emulating it is a completely different story. Emulation means simulating hardware through software, which is an extremely intensive task. You need a processor that's about *100* times as powerful as what you're trying to emulate. So check back in a decade or two...

No chance.... 15 - 20 years, even longer for a phone.

It's not just the CPU you're emulating, but the GPU, and that is going to be extremely tough going.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
No... Just no.. 1) like someone else said you'd need to emulate the gpu. 2) you'd be emulating the ENTIRE cpu. Xbox360's CPU is PowerPC based. Plus it has 3 cores/6 threads. More threads than the quad snapdragon does.

So it'll be pretty much impossible.

Because these are mobile processors/threads - completely different from real pc processors/threads in terms of power, heat and energy consumption. We are mobile, everything is shrunk down...

Just take ram for example - 2gb of desktop ram is bigger than the sgs4 - a desktop processor is probably about half the size of the sgs4

Take our quad snapdragon clocked at 1.9 and face it off with just about any dual core CPU for desktop...we will lose.

I think what we are missing the most for 360 emulation is a cooling system...emulating 360 would destroy the phone with heat...I mean that's why the 360 has two fans in the back

I don't even think there is a way to run xbox 360 on a PC yet and a phone. Forget about it the GPU is far too weak and the CPU even "having moar cores" is too weak due to it being a low power chip. The S4 will be a cool phone, but the tech just is not there yet.

Current technology wouldn't allow it. The chip in the S4 is far too weak to emulate current gen consoles.

Pretty sure it only has 4 threads... one thread per core.. unless ARM-based SoCs can do multithreading.

Current ARM-based SoCs do not support multithreading.

So it's only 1 thread per core.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shammyh:
No probably not.

First off, until there are sources, and people get hands on, it's all a guessing game...

But ultimately, it seems very unlikely that based on power/heat constraints alone, that it will be possible for the LITTLE and the big to be running simultaneously. Hence why they switch back and forth in pairs (1 big <-> 1 LITTLE). That said, it may also be a physically impossible choice at the silicon level, depending on the way the power gating and other IC features are designed. Time will tell.

And further, even if you could spin them all up at once, would that actually be faster? There's only but so much memory bandwidth in the SoC. And yea, while the big and LITTLE components appear to be fairly separate packages (discreet L1/L2 cache per package), the bandwidth between the SoC internally, and via the board itself will probably be far more limiting. Two discreet sets of cores doesn't mean two discreet sets of paths to system memory for example. Or to anything else on the board for that matter.

Think of it like this: I have a quad-core Ivy Bridge chip in my laptop. It's very fast. Well, what if I could magically add an Intel Core2 Quad to my system? Would it now be any faster? Maybe? Maybe not... Perhaps my Ivy Bridge cores are simply so much more efficient than the old Intel "core" core architecture that adding in something like would only slow everything down. If you also take a look and what is purported to be the die in the Exynos "octacore" you can readily see how much larger the quad-A15 is over the quad-A7. Point is, adding more cores does not always equal more total usable CPU power, even if it is eventually possible.

Oh, and like a lot of other threads currently in the GS4 General forum, this thread is pretty effing stupid. Anyone with even an ounce of CS knowledge could tell you that it's absolutely impossible for a current gen mobile SoC to rival something like the 3 Core PowerPC chip in the Xbox 360. Wait maybe 10-20 years and ask again.

Emulate, no.

But.

XBox 360 has awful hardware. It's 8 years old (Lauhched November 22, 2005) and yes, current smartphone tech is about on par with 2005 computers. Of course you can't emulate xbox with equivalent cpu/gpu and smartphones do have areas where they are lacking especially regarding games, one is memory bandwith.

Everyone should just stop. You're comparing apples to oranges.

The 360's CPU is PowerPC based. While most smartphones are ARM based. If they were PowerPC based that'd be a different story. Only having to emulate the missing instruction sets. But that's not the case. You'd have to emulate the ENTIRE cpu.

As for "octacore", as stated before, it's ARM's big.LITTLE solution. Only 1 SoC is activated depending on workload.

GPU part is just not true. XBox 360 has about equivalent of ATI Radeon X1800 series of PC graphics cards and the GPU in HTC One (same as in SGS4 non-Exynos version) is about on par with Nvidia GeForce 7800 GS which in turn is about the same as that ATI radeon. Caveat being memory bandwith. Check anands thoughts on past GPU's and todays mobile GPU's.

People here seem to forget that both XBox 360 and PS3 are god awful hardware. Xbox GPU was designed to 90nm(!!!!) process. Both these consoles should have died in fire 3 years ago since they are so old and have been holding gaming back at least those years. We are talking about consoles that have 512mb memory (aagh...) and are cabable of graphics resolutions as high as 880x720 :laugh: (call of duty: blobs 2 XBox360) and are generally awful in everything...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Lol, i can understand where the OP went wrong here.

To run an emulator you need superior hardware, so the PSX for example was literally a 33Mhz CPU, which isn't great when you think about it, but to emulate that you would need about 50 times that amount with the gpu being multiplied too, perhaps not by 50 but superior all the same. (these numbers aren't 100% accurate by the way)

To emulate an xbox is a real hard job as the processor in that wasn't too bad. I think it was 733Mhz, so again it's a lot of leg work to emulate it.

But to emulate an xbox 360, no m8, that's just not going to happen, the hardware literally isn't readily available to make it worth even beginning to work on it. So to get a game working at full speed just isn't going to happen (at this time anyway) and that's on PC (afaik) so on a mobile device, you've got no chance.

The reason why the hardware for consoles isn't looking like it's up to much is because it's totally dedicated to the console without having to carry an OS like windows or android on top.

Hope this helps.

And forgive my numbers if they're off a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TingTingin:
Wow!

The reason chips in phones "are smaller" (I'm not 100% sure what u mean by "smaller") is because phones are meant to be portable the extremely powerful chips in pc's consume extreme amounts of power if we were to use those chips in pc's we'd have HORRIBLE battery life or heavy clunky ass phones (as proved by early Windows tablets) the largest smartphone battery at the moment is in the droid razr maxx HD at 3300 mah whereas the average laptop would have over 4000mah all the way up to 8000mah+

When u look at the numbers the droid razr maxx gets around 17-20 hrs talk time whereas the average laptop gets 6-8 hours with moderate use with a larger 4000mah+ battery that's 250-333% less battery life with 21%+ larger battery ??????? Where the hell is all the power going the processor of course the arm based processors in phones are use waaaaaay less power but compromise performance in the process

They could probably be considered more advanced in the fact that they're more recent and arm keeps coming up with ways to make them faster while consuming less battery but then again the Xbox's processor was made long ago and yet at a lower clock speed is still able to outperform recent smartphones so it could go either way

Anyways that's not what this is about the Xbox is more powerful that today's smartphones as stated by Anand and I'd believe him before I believe you even though u have a "master's degree"

S4 INFO
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
No disrespect here m8, but if thats what your degree told you then it must be one of them bought from ebay as some of what you said there is BS.

First of all you will probably never get an xbox360 emulated perfectly on a PC, let alone a phone, the architecture behind the CPU's are completely different, the performance on an i7 rig in comparison to an s3 or s4 is huge.

Don't you think that if time had moved on and chips were smaller like you say! Then why the hell are we all using regular sized CPU's in our computers??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolvus:
This is because if we would keep making smaller and smaller chips the computing power would never increase. Thus we keep making same sized chips with higher and higher computing power. XBox cpu is 90nm originally, new Intel Haswells are made on 22nm process. These are also more power efficient than past parts.

In mobile chips this means that when you use smaller manufacturing process you get more power efficiency and more computing power eventually getting past of those huge old 90nm parts.

Again, emulation is out of the question but porting games to current/next generation ARM processor and mobile GPU is already a possibility.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Dude i'm not actually asking as if i don't know, i know why we use the sized chips that we do. The Xbox thing will never work on a phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolvus:
Yeah, emulation doesn't but porting game should get almost same graphics already since GPU is in parts already bit faster than XBox 360 one. They still need to up memory bandwidth though since that's important for graphics.

Again, XBox 360 is really old technology and is slow as hell, puts out really bad graphics in terrible resolution with awful texture quality. In 2 years we will have mobile tech that is all around faster than current gen consoles. Good thing they will finally have next gen consoles out soon though.
