I did SunSpider test on default browser(Samsung) and Chrome. I'm not sure this is the test you wanted. Also, I've done 3DMarks test. Both Icestrom and Icestrom extreme. Check the attached images.

Thanks for the tests.

I think that something is not right with these numbers.

Either the firmware is still not optimized, or it's throttling for some reason.

http://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?cols=2&D1=Samsung+GT-I9500+Galaxy+S4&D2=Apple+iPhone+5

If I compare against iPhone 5, the Triangle throughput is clearly so bad.

I don't know the explanation for this. But I think there is still some room for improvement with the low-level results.

A small tip -- allow few mins between the tests to let the phone cool-off.

Maybe a reboot will also help between the tests.

Also try a BaseMark X test!

Piece of advice : hide your IMEI number in those screenshots, that's something you don't want to show to everyone.

Thanks. I removed the specific image. The only useful info shown in the image was kernel version or whatever I think. BTW, why exactly IMEI should be private?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Thanks you for the benchmarks. Related to the IMEI number, a carrier can block the phone from their network using it, somebody can report the phone stolen, I think Google Play use it to save some information and connect your phone with your account and so on.

However, not much to be done if somebody have your IMEI.

Korean variants' spec regarding LTE, HSPA+, GSM, CDMA support

A few of guys asked me with private messages about the Korean variant's compatibility with non-Korean carriers. Below is the specs related to the usability.

SKT SHV-E300S

http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SHV-E300SDS3SC-spec

GPS (GPS, GLONASS, QZSS)

LTE(850/1800), WCDMA(1900/2100), GSM(900/1800/1900)

KT SHV-E300K

http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/kt/SHV-E300KDS3KC-spec

GPS (GPS, GLONASS, QZSS)

LTE(900(지원예정*)/1800), WCDMA(1900/2100), GSM(900/1800/1900)

* planned to support (By firmware update??? I don't know. It says so anyway.)

LG U+ SHV-E300L

http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/lgt/SHV-E300LDS3LC-spec

GPS (GPS, GLONASS)

LTE(850/2100), KPCS(1800), WCDMA(1900/2100), GSM(900/1800/1900)

The frequencies of 4G(LTE) and 3G(WCDMA, GSM, etc) would be different from carrier to carrier. So, if you want to buy Korean variant for the use with non-Korean carrier, be sure to check its compatibility with your local carrier.

Also, the differences with non-Korean GS4 variants, as far as I know, are below.

- All the Korean variants include 2 batteries and 1 charger deck. (Check the image attached in the original post.)

- Only 32GB model are available at the moment.

- DMB supported with exterior antenna, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Multimedia_Broadcasting (Check the image attached in the original post if you want to know what it looks like. Probably useless outside of Korea. I'm not sure but due to this Korean variant may be slightly thicker than non-Korean variant or may be not.)

- Exynos 5410 + LTE support (the most important fact, probably you guys all know by now.)

I read that SKT will start to provide the network for LTE-A(LTE Advanced) in the 2nd half. But, none of current Korean GS4 variants supports LTE-A.
[Galaxy S 4 General] teameg:
hey thanks again!

just another question, do u know if the skt and kt versions are kind of "netlocked".

could it be that the phone still wont work unless the frequencies are supported?
[Galaxy S 4 General] procol:
Regarding the compatibility of Korean variants on the carriers abroad

Even when the phone supports the network frequencies which is same with the other carrier's network, it won't guarantee 100% compatibility. Thus, take my words below with a grain of salt because nobody can be sure 100% without actual compatibility test on the specific carrier's network. It's just my speculation based on some fragments of information. (Since the phones are being sold to Korean customers already, probably more information regarding Korean GS4's compatibility with the carriers abroad will come on the web soon.)

1. Samsung like the other Korean phone manufacturers sells the unlocked version. With some googling, I found out that Samsung mobile shop already started to sell the unlocked Galaxy S4.

2. According to what I heard, generally WCDMA is likely to work fine only if the phone's WCDMA spec is compatible with the carrier's network. But CDMA SVLTE/VoLTE or some GSM LTE may not work 100%.

3. In the spec pages of SKT and KT variants I included in the other post, it is written as "GSM abroad roaming" supported. So it's highly likely that if the related spec is compatible with the network frequencies of the specific carrier, it probably will work, at least theoretically. But still it doesn't guarantee that the phone's LTE capability can be utilized fully. In case your local carrier supports the same frequencies of LG U+ variant, you better buy the unlocked phone which has the same networking specification with LG U+ device.

4. The quickest way to figure out this is, I guess, asking Samsung directly with the statements like "Can I use a Korean SKT GS4 with the Verizon Wireless in the States?" Though the answer won't come directly at the spot from community/CS representative when asked, the engineers of Samsung probably will know thoroughly. CS rep will get the answer from the engineers eventually. Big companies like Samsung these days put much emphasis on social networking with the customers. You better ask to their marketing accounts on the social networking service like some of them below.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
Don't forget that LTE in Korean GS4 may be very specific. For example Korean providers use VoLTE for voice call, while many other countries use LTE CSFB. There is a high chance that you won't be able to use voice call if your phone will be connected to LTE in other country. Since this version is targeted for local market, they don't need to support CSFB at all.

Phone may work fine in 3G abroad, but don't forget about SMS problems in Korean phones.

After all, you may end with using this phone as 3G. Do you really need it? Just buy I9500 32GB. I'm sure it won't be a problem to overclock it to 1.8ghz later with custom kernels.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Mithrandir007:
Well it's a bit more dangerous than what he said.

Here's a website explaining what you can do with IMEI : http://www.unlockme.co.uk/blacklist.html

Basically, someone could use your IMEI to make a stolen phone (or 100's of them) work again.

That means you'd be at risk of having your IMEI blocked if that phone is reported stolen again.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Guitarfreak26:
Whats the audio quality like mate? I heard the only downside was a weak yamaha audio codec?
[Galaxy S 4 General] procol:
Yeah, thanks for telling me. Actually, I read about IMEI on wikipedia after I first saw the post pointing out the danger exposing it publicly and shocked to know about the risk. Hopes nothing bad happens!

Audio quality is quite good. Though I never have tried to compare it to iPhone 5 myself, definitely better than my old iPhone 4. (As far as I know Exynos-powered variant has Wolfson DAC but I don't know what audio codecs they use exactly for audio playing.) Audio features and functions are very important to me. I used iPhone 4 long time and have been afraid to switch to Android because of iTunes. I have bought lots of music from iTunes and I thought it's not wise to use audio files from iTunes on Android phone even when they are all DRM-free. I don't know why I was like that for long. I think I just had a sort of myth.

The first thing I did after the purchase of GS4 was copying all the audio files which I bought from iTunes or I ripped from my CDs to 64GB microSD card. They worked fine on GS4. Though the stock player has good audio quality, it lacked some features like auto-downloading album cover artwork images. (Actually iOS stock player had some glitches regarding this too. iOS stock player even failed to show the proper album artwork for some audio files after iOS update even when the whole album was bought from iTunes app directly.) So I bought PlayerPro app from Google Play Store and like it very much so far. It reminded me of old Winamp days on PC in that it utilize 3rd party resources from internet and skins unlike iOS stock music player app. I'm testing the app's various features right now.

The only concern for me is the bundle earphone from Samsung. I'm not saying that its audio quality and functions such as button control is bad. It's quite good actually but it's a typical kernel earphone style unlike half-open half-kernel style Apple earbuds I bought for my iPhone 4. It's really good when you only want to focus on music but I'm afraid it may not be good to my ears.

[Galaxy S 4 General] procol:
I found some post on the matter from Korean tech community after I had wrote the previous post telling Exynos variant is known to have Wolfson DAC. The article claims that Korean GS4 variants use YAMAHA YMU831 chip instead of Wolfson. I'll look for further on this.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] johnzh:
Hi,

I've read about the nightmares that people have suffered with Activesync on various forums over the last few years but I have to say that having spent nearly 8 hours today trying to get my XDA II to connect to my PC and seeing absolutely no progress I am feeling somewhat of a martyr.

I can't connect at all to my PC. I have installed and un-installed 3.7.1 several times, I have tried 3 different computers. I have tried to use Activesync with my iPAQ 540 and it works fine. But not so with my XDA II.

I don't have the new ROM upgrade on and I guess unless I can get a connection I won't be able to upgrade the operating system.

I've tried old versions of Activesync 3.5 for instance and that didn't work either.

I have cold booted, warm booted, cleaned out the storage area, wiped the XDA as much as possible, restored from backup and nothing.

One clue which makes me think that the problem is definitely at the XDA II end, I have a Tom Tom GPS in my car. When I connect to the XDA a message normally pops up to say that Activesync is connecting on the serial port. Since Activesync has stopped working this message doesn't pop up but the GPS is still working.

Are there any heroes out there who may have a clue on this. I suspect that something has either been corrupted in the ROM or I have somehow inadvertantly deleted some essential files without knowing it.

I have a 512Mb SD card I can use if there is a way tu upgrade the ROM with SD and I have the backpack and a Compact Flash card I could use.

Any suggestions? Please!!!

Johnzh
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Qman:
Confirming that you bought this device new and have never been able to connect to your PC? If so I suspect its a hardware issues and a return is in oder!

thanks for the thought, but no I have had it for several months and it has workewd fine until today. Everything is working fine except the ability to run activesync
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Ckth:
Try restoring

I had the same problem like you few days ago. It was due to some s/w which was installed and later removed.

Try this; Restore your pc to a date before this, hard reset your unit. From there, it should be able to connect and sync. If not, re-install active sync again.

Hope this helps.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] strongp:
I'm having similar problems with mine - it's my second as I returned the first becasue of battery probs - both were a nightmare to get working - one thing that helped was to re-install Outlook as supplied on the XDA CD - it's the same version as I had but it worked once I'd done this.

Now I've lost the ability to sync via IR - I'll try the cradle this evening and hope for the best - bummer - couldn't get Bluetooth to work for synching either - how many hours am I going to waste on this one....?

The original XDA was a breeze compared to this....
