[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] finnbass759:
i do not think this is the right reason of lock bootloader,

almost all carrier provide the contract phone with low price. but people always bought it and flash the rom or root it to remove the service or application of carrier in the phone, (althoug most them will be useless for us),so they demand manufacturer to lock it.:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
I still don't believe they are trying to secure a government contract or anything of the sorts. Might make sense but then again, most theories do make sense. Either way there's like no proof of this happening, I wouldn't worry about this people.

Also if one person could unlock there bootloader 4 days after release, just goes to show how good there contract is gonna be... Yea I don't see this phone getting locked down any further. I think it's a marketing ploy from AT&T to get the last S3's out for the summer and claim the holiday market competition for the S4. I don't think they will outright unlock but I don't think they will do anything more to secure the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] manny05:
Personally I think they locked it because of so many bricks and lost IMEI code from the s3 last year. That's the only reason I can think off.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] djdef80:
They locked bootloader on the Motorola atrix HD as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
Agreed and noted, it is getting old seeing the same discussion. I rooted and played for awhile, lastnight odin back to stock, now I am just going to wait, it will be well worth it, on a side note, bill gates didn't think we could pirate his wonderful windows, but we did. The bootloader man made, and man will find a way around it.

Not true, they want to charge for tethering is what I see. I could be wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ookba:
How about taking a TMO version which is the same hardware as the ATT, SIM unlocking it, flashing all partitions including modem with ATT ones (except the bootloader). Now you got an unlocked ATT S4.
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I am concerned after the Government sold new 4G bands to Telstra, Optus and TPG.

The new bands are in the 700Mhz 4G bands, similar to Americas 4G networks. IMO a stupid move because hardly any phone manufacturers target this band when creating global devices. Why is Australia trying to follow the US so much?

This will significantly reduce the 4G devices that we will be able to buy going forward, and in a lot of cases will not even be available. Obviously the Telcos are excited by this, because you are more likely to be forced into buying their phones.

The roll out is planned over the next two years
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
this put a damper on my morning!
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Sorry, I think that I wasn't clear, but I am sure that the existing networks will still be supported. So our Xperia Z should still work, but you can be sure that the this 4G network will be the new development and the network they will put the most work into (Similar to Telstra's nextG)
[Xperia Z General] cheetah2k:
Not bothered by this, the 4G coverage is still too 5hit IMO...
[Xperia Z General] DarkKrypt:
Got coverage in south eastern side of Melbourne, chadstone, mount Waverly, burwood, Doncaster
[Xperia Z General] Bl1tZ7:
Worldwide companies are working with the 700Mhz band. Vodafone international has been testing the 700Mhz band in New Zealand, Australia, U.K and parts of Europe for the past year due to it's higher stability, and far better range than current bandwidths. Phone manufacturers are also aware of this, but it's still a long way from being put into commercial use, mainly due to the bandwidth still being tied up with other services (UHF Television for example).
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
Yep your not wrong
[Xperia Z General] danw_oz:
I am not sure that you are correct, because Vodafone have not purchased any 700MHz bands for 4G in Australia. These are new bands that have just been opened up, so any commercial testing on these bands can only start now and not for Vodafone. Analogue TV is being switched off here very soon, and all of Australia by the end of the year.

Vodafone is huge in New Zealand but in Australia they are CRAP, and they are typically known as vodafail, they are only enabling the 4G in June, the band they are using in Australia is 1800MHz with a 20MHz width.

Yes, and New Zealand has commonly been unusual for mobile support look at the telecom cdma network that was introduced, and the lack of devices to support it when it was released.

Qualcomm already has all LTE bands support in it's latest chipset, but obviously that is not included in most phones today.
[Xperia Z General] Bl1tZ7:
The Sale of Bandwidths is so a provider can use them towards commercial use, Telstra for example began LTE testing as early as 2010. Companies do not need to purchase a frequency before they can begin testing on it. For Example, Vodafone New Zealand launched LTE just this March, after purchasing the 1800Mhz frequency in February, but have been testing the frequency since 2011.

And I agree, Vodafone in Australia is rubbish ;)

Don't get me started on Telecom, they're the reason NZ is still so far behind the rest of the developed world in terms of Telecommunications.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Beatsleigher:
Hello guys,

today I created a small program which detects most information of your CPU.

The program is called 'DetectCPU' and it does what it says.

This is what the app looked like:

This is How DetectCPU looks in v2!

The program is licensed under the GPL3.0.

This program is written in Visual Basic(.Net) 2012 for Windows Desktop.

Check the source code out, over at my GitHub: https://github.com/Beatsleigher/DetectCPU

Feel free to add your own commits, pull your own copies and distribute!

I shall now start work on another project, relating to Windows (Yes, also open source!)

Download DetectCPU from Sourceforge!: https://sourceforge.net/projects/detectcpu/?source=navbar

Changelog:

Have fun using the new and improved DetectCPU!

Be sure to leave a review below for others to see!

Leave any suggestions below!

Thanks for using DetectCPU! :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] m11kkaa:
nice concept...but VB? :P

I would advice use C# or C++ and then try to make it platform independent so we can build something like CPU-Z for all operating systems.

For platform independent UI we could use QT or wxWidgets.(if c++ would be the choise)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Chinpokomon:
From the look of it, this uses WMI to talk to Windows to collect its data. This isn't a very portable solution at all, so don't get your hopes up about this working on other platforms, VB or not.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] kundancool:
I like the concept. Nice share :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Deleted member 1890170:
Does your app work on mobile devices too? I ask this because the screenshot you provided relates to a Win32 machine.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Beatsleigher:
As far as I'm aware, it should.

LG Familyguy59/Beatsleigher
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Beatsleigher:
Yes, VB.

Comparing C# with VB is stupid, as they are both almost impossible to differentiate, the only real difference between the two, is that C# uses the C-Syntax.

I am already working on a mono-compatible solution, but as it uses WMI (Which is the simplest way to get as low-level as this) it is quite the task, but it's not impossible. I'll add it to my GitHub today.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] m11kkaa:
That shouldn't be a problem. We can use wrapper-classes/methods(if u aren't doing it already) and then use other ways to read thoses information on unix systems.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Deleted member 4817222:
Looks very interesting...could you upload the little program? I dont have VB here atm, but I would like to use the prog ;)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] chaosdefinesorder:
Came here via the XDA portal!

Looks like a potentially useful program, however I would recommend removing all the "CPU"s from the list headers. All the information is about the CPU by design, and every list item starts with "CPU" so it looks a bit odd and is probably unnecessary as-is...

Just a suggestion
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
That would purely depend on whether or not you are referring to VB.net. VB alone does not refer to the .net version of the language (which is what is being used here anyway) and is often used to refer to the older VB6 (or even older 5 etc) which has zero relation to C# or .net.

For some reason unknown Vb.net does seem to be slower than C# for most benchmarks. I would assume that it is because C# is microsofts preferred choice and that they spend more time developing the compiler or something. Either that or VB.net is doing some weirdness under the hood. Here is one of many examples online: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/vbnet-vs-c-round-2-pounding-on-performance/1027686 C# and VB.net should be the same there, but they aren't.

But yes. Assuming VB.net (like your program) and ignoring whatever weirdness is going on with my previous point. Only difference is pretty much that C# has a C style syntax and VB.net does not.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Beatsleigher:
Sure thing. Will do :)

But you can download the source folder and check /bin. There are some pre-compiled applications. :)

Hmm. Seeming as you're using a German computer (And I'm not), I'd guess for some problems you'd have to compile it for yourself (But please add it to the GitHub)

But for some of the other problems, I think I've found a solution.

I tried un-commenting some of the things that weren't available for my CPU and then the whole thing stopped loading:

(The highlighted stuff is what I un-commented)

I'll add a few try-statements and then upload it.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Forty.Two:
I have been working on something like this, but I am trying to get GPU specs and temperature. How might I do this? WMI? Or do I need to use the specific devices drivers or sdk. I'm trying to read GPU temps from my AMD radeon in realtime.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Beatsleigher:
Hmm. I'll have a look later on and I'll tell you, then.

I think, if you're using VB, it should also work with the SystemInformation Class.

As I'm now working in Java, I'm going to be created two last versions of DetectCPU. After that, it's all in the hands of you.

As I downloaded C# 2010, because of AndroidLib and seeing C# syntax, I'm going to create DetectCPUv3 as a WPF application and then as a console application, so you can get the raw output.

Point. Somehow in the process of going from reading to posting I lost 45% of the message.

[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
The commits I was using to get 2.04 ROMs working with 1.15 kernels are quite possibly what you need to get the display working on this. But, you're going to have bluetooth problems for sure (bluedroid vs. bluez) and god only knows about audio issues in general...
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
since i only have my One to play with i didnt really mess with it :(

it says on boot you need EGL 2.5 AU JB linux from the CAF tree is what its built against
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
honestly i bet if you transplant EGL from DLXB1 kernel source it will work

:D
[HTC Droid DNA] dabomb697:
These "leaks" are just HTC's way to get all the bugs worked out before the official release. It's happened on every HTC phone I've owned from the Eris, inc, and Rezound. We'll be getting ours soon.
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
Sometimes VZW throws a wrench in between the leak and the release, though :) I think it took 8 months from the Thunderbolt JB leak to release? And it changed VERY little.

That being said, I am optimistic that the 5.1 /4.2 release will happen sooner rather than later, although a DNA+ release on VZW might throw the timing off.
[HTC Droid DNA] acast2003:
I love when verizon steps in for things. I guess a bunch of non-root users that got the OTA update don't always get notifications.
[HTC Droid DNA] xboxfanj:
I believe you need to port the jb_2.5 kernel from caf or just the GPU drivers. HTC has not been changing much from caf on their 3.4 kernels, so it should be compatible. That's what I'm working on for my optimus. With that, it should boot without changing anything in system. You may also need to try a butterfly kernel. Has anyone seen if those are compatible?

Has anyone tried the new backup and restore via pc companion? Ive backed my phone up but not tried restoring.

I want to reflash my phone but afraid that ill lose everything.

My problem is that my in call volume has gone really low since saturday night and cant figure out why. It was working fine all day then all of a sudden I couldnt hear anything unless I put the call on loudspeaker. I rebooted the phone and now its ok but struggle to hear the person when im in public areas. Even when using the headset it sounds lower than before. Music is fine too. Could someone please help with both queries please. Thanks

After spending weeks on this forum and on Handango this is my hit parade:

DVD:

mMedia: to convert DVDs or any other videos in almost any format. (I haven't tryed yet as I am waiting to buy a large memory card, but from the specs seem the most complete programs while other limits you in term of input or output format)

Games:

Monopoly is gorgeous

Other interesting games are Chopper Alley, TombRider, when anyone finds a decent first person shooter please let me know

There is a C64 Emulator which should enable you to play old commodore 64 games (they where good) unfortunatly I didn't manage to get the app to work on my XDAII, but I haven't tried too hard... it should be possible

Usefull SW:

Ringtonez: to get personalized ringtones by caller

A profile manager: to change the phone settings according to your envirronment and much more... I am still trying to understand which one to choose between PocketZen and Phone Profiles... I have dedicated a post to it but with few responses... help anyone:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=10168&highlight=

MS Reader: English or foreign language to english dictionaries

HP Mobile Printing

iMove Messanger: Universal Messanger

PocketLingo: if u need a specialized dictionary

ConverterCE (usefull and free)

Must have utilities (they are not cool, but they would make a difference):

-BT Tools: when you face yourself with the limits of the units BT app.

-SpriteBackup: must have back up utility... your device would hardreset, no matter how carefull you are, and even if your contact might be sync a lot of other info and settings are not, so u want to back up and xBackUp is just too slow to be used)

-PocketNav: Close bottons function that really closes apps (free or cheap; does just that and does it well)

-ScaryBear (fix a PPC2003 bug that slows your XDA after every reset, free)

-Wakeup Tweak: fix another bug with PPC2003

Have fun!
