[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
In my opinion, actual daily performance won't be much different except for the Mega having a much bigger screen. Samsung was even caught calling the Mega 6.3 as Samsung Galaxy S4 Mega in one of their app updates that ties in with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini which also has different specs to the original S4.

* Screen - the Mega might have lower resolution but the SC LCD is brighter and has more accurate colors than S4's AMOLED. You might be like most people who never want to go back to smaller screens after experiencing bigger ones because it will feel like a downgrade.

* CPU/GPU/RAM - the S4 will be faster in benchmarks as the specs is better but the Mega is not far behind in terms of actual daily use. It's difficult to find an app that won't run on the Mega the same way it will on the S4.

* Features - the features taken away from the Mega to make it look inferior to the S4 are not very important (S Health, photo modes, eye scrolling, etc) and the features left are better (IR blaster, Adapt Sound, NFC, works with gloves, etc)

* Price - the Mega is a mid-range phone which tends to give more value than high end phones which get high specs with less real life advantage. This includes more megapixels, more PPI, more Ghz, more GBs, etc. Most people pay for the extra power which they don't need/use.

In short, it's a great phone if it suits your needs.

Thanks for the very informative reply. It was very helpful.

One final question. I kept holding out for AT&T to get the S4 32GB in the color I wanted but that's not going to happen. Do you feel that I'm going to be faced with the same drawbacks going with a 16GB Mega as I would with an S4?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I'm using an 8GB version with a 64GB micro SD card if you meant storage problems. I just use Foldermount app to move big apps to the SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
Yes, I was referring to storage problem.

Are you rooted? I've never heard of Foldermount & definitely don't want to root my phone.

I've been happy with my 16GB S III with 32GB micro SD. Only occasional problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
If you were fine with 16gb then there's no need to root for extra storage. What occasional problems do you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
Got it. Ran into 'out of memory' problems at times due to so much bloatware hogging internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Troute:
If you don't want to root you're pretty well stuck with the internal memory for apps, there's no way to move apps to sd currently without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
Right. Know that. One day maybe phone manufacturers & carriers might become a bit more customer-centric!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Troute:
That would be something to see. I just don't understand why Samsung would let you stick a huge sd card in but cripple the device by not letting you make proper use of it. I paid for it, they have my money already, why should they care how I set it up for use?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I think it's Google who prevented the moving off the app to the SD card on Android 4.2 and up. Samsung even released an update on the S4 to bypass this but it won't move large data of apps. Hopefully Google will change this on the next version of Android and/or Samsung will put 32GB as minimum internal storage after complaints about Touchwiz eating too much of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
Think you're right. If the analysts are right Samsung will be moving away from Google soon. That will certainly turn the phone market upside down! I see no reason for any smartphone to have less than 32GB internal memory period.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
I think minimum should be 32GB internal memory as Full HD movies and 13MP photos need more space to store. They make phones with 1080p screens and high megapixel cameras, then put 8GB/16GB memory to play with which doesn't make sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
Spot on! I've been looking at a bunch of reviews of the Mega & I'm leaning to sucking it up & updating to the 32GB Black Mist variant of the S4. Maybe I can paint it while. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] norbarb:
Except screen size S4 is better then Mega in every aspect : http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-Mega-6.3,Samsung-Galaxy-S4/phones/7805,7597

Except for the price.:D

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] randun:
True but I've got a $50 credit towards the purchase. Much better phone as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] norbarb:
Price just $50 more for S4 but how much more you will get for $50.. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
Here in the UK the price difference of the Mega and the S4 is around $200 unlocked so it's a much easier choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bob60626:
You can disable them without rooting, I do this on all my non rooted devices without any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
I'm retired and on a very fixed budget, so 50 bucks is a lot to me.

I really don't give a diddly squat about all the extra features. IMO, they're just a battery drainer. I want the extra screen area. It's like when I got my Infuse and my tech savvy son and son-in-law tried to tell me it was brand new but already outdated because of the single core. Well, I wanted the 4.5 screen and it served me just fine. My wife still uses it and it's running 4.3 very nicely.

So different strokes for different folks. And now I won't have to carry my phone and my N7 unless I just want to.:D

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Mad383Max:
Update. Our Walmart got them in a couple of days ago. Purchased one for my wife.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
We shouldn't forget one unpublicized "feature" of a Galaxy S4 screen - because of its Pentile Matrix pixel arrangement, it doesn't really have a FullHD resolution. It's only capable to provide FullHD with its green sub-pixels, since it has about twice as few red and blue sub-pixels (which is less than HD), its total subpixel density is just slightly higher than that of Mega 6.3. To put it simply - it has all the negative sides of a FullHD screen (a huge amount of pixels to process for your GPU), without any benefits of it - it's actual resolving power is at about the same level as the screen of Mega 6.3, so it won't produce any more details. It's some smart trickery Samsung does, just to be able to call the screen Full HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
$98?? Unlocked and sim free? Or is that with a contract or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lyall29:
That price is with a 2 year contract with at&t. No contract price is $540 at Walmart.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
I thought they were doing something like a last few stock units deal or something. But even then that price was too low even that.

I would had bought 10 Mega's if it was like what I thought it was. lol. :p

Hi all.

Need some help really bad. Tried to upgrade my magician (s100) to ROM 1.11.133WWE from qtek.se.

Did exactly as it said I had to but as soon as I started the upgrading my magician went all dead and black and the install shield wizard went down. The only thing left on the computer screen is a box that says: "checking the information on your device... please wait...

Please dont disconnect your device from your PC until the update is completed".

So what do I do?!?!

Am desperate to get my device working again!

Please please help me!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
I'm really sorry to here this :( ... anyway..

As far as I know.. u have my to disconnect ur PPC from the USB cable, then restart PC, u should continue to upgrade after u PC restarts..

u may also try to change the port of the USB cable as well...

this may work on Win XP, I don't know anything about other OS..

I'm not sure about this since I did not face this problem b4..but this solution was reported in another forum ( and maybe here )

I hope this will help...and maybe someone else could give u more INFO...

cheers

Thanx!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] duke911:
I believe it is better if u do a new fresh installation of everything instead of making a restoration

many users reported problems when restoring after an upgrade...

mostly, ur device will become very slow ....
[General Questions and Answers] Master One:
I am so used to Firefox with the essential add-ons (like NoScript and Adblock Plus) on my computers, something I miss on my phone.

I am using the stock Android browser on my good old ZTE Blade with CM 10.1 right now (have tried Dolphin Mini before), and I am wondering if there is any alternative to Firefox/Opera/Chrome that offers No Script functionality (I don't trust Opera & Chrome, and Firefox is overkill for such a low power phone).

Any idea?

Hi,

This name by multitasking.

What you talking about is one samsung app that makes split screen and run 1 program (with no backgorund task) and another program by samsung like sms app or other.

Its for now "exclusive" for samsung, on htc you can run 2 on same time but not on same scrren.

In this point sense 5 is equal to sense 4

Hello, I made this thread because of a lot of lag on my device (Paranoid Android 3.66). I know Samsung Galaxy Gio is a very slow device, but I wanted to ask you if there's a way to make it faster.

Methods I tried (and worked mostly):

I changed my CPU frequency to 833MHz;

I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zdvdev.sef (needs root);

Changing animation scales in developer options.

I really would like a new way how to make the gio faster if you got any, please do post.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] njdevils28:
Hi All,

I recently saw the news of a Brazilian developer that put out an app called "Boyfriend Tracker". What it is, is a private eye in the phone. The Girlfriend installs the app, with permission of course, and it monitors the phone owner.

It remotely dials a number, so the receiver can secretly listen in.

It forwards all text messages received and sent.

It sends GPS Location updates and more.

I have searched, but maybe I googled incorrectly, for an APP monitor that runs kind of like avast anti virus. I was looking for something that would password protect instillation permission of apps. In other words, if an app is downloaded or copied to the phone some other way, it can not be installed without an Admin Password.

Is there such an app?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C0BRA01:
Change the path in Titanium backup from /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup to /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup. Titanium will ask if you want to move the files. Say No, since they are really the same folder. It's a 4.3 thing, not a PA problem.

That should do it.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Mallow1:
I've tried it on Buzz's 1.6 version of wm5 (Himalaya) and before I upgraded my radio ROM from 1.14 BT Tools loaded and worked as per the old version (like a charm). While it may not be necessary owing to certain improvements in wm5 it still had features I liked (BT auto power off when idle for 60s).

Once I've upgraded to 1.17 it loads but nolonger appear on the today screen. Then when I bond with a new device I get the BT Tools profiles screen. I have then been able to use the Activesync profile to sync with Outlook 2002 on my PC via BT. I can't however access the two power/light profiles nor the BT auto shut off feature (I really liked that function for power saving) or at least not yet.

I'm going to try Radio ROM 1.08 and 1.18 as per suggestions in other forums (as I'm hanging when I now sync using the cradle) and will let you know if anything changes.

Upgraded to Radio ROM 1.18, BT Tools now appears again in the Today Screen but is completely inert re autoshut off (the only feature I'm now interested in given the ROM enhancements). So I'm unloading it and will serach for another BT manager with the same auto BT on/off feature.

Hope that was of use.

The proverbial cake icing was that BT Tools made the device speaker phone quick working as well. Un-install BT Tools, and I get the speakerphone back, but still woe is me, no practical functionality out my trusty Jabra.

Any thoughts?

BTH tools 1.1.0.0 do not function correctly. Both profiles do exactly the same, either auto-switch or not and ActiveSync over BT does not work properly.

Thanks SaBo,

I'll give it a whirl as it would be nice to have the auto BT on/off back again.

Chelms,

I trust SaBo's comments work 4u too. If not the only thing I can suggest (not being a jabra200 user myself) is to surf the forums. I know a lot has been written about getting the jabra BT800 working properly with HTC kit (Jabra state that it isn't compatable but I think the BA forum have been chasing it as a bit of a Holy Grail). I can't recall if they definitievly got there but I think they did. You may find something on your headset too. You can also try Buzz's forums on a similar search since he has been the one to work WM5 magic (http://buzzdev.net/). Further afield you might try Howard's Forum (http://www.howardforums.com/)

For all those still using Pocket Bluetooth Tools in WM5 (not for its BT profiles as they aren't needed any more but for the functionality of BT auto on/off and the two power/ screen saver profiles via the Today screen) FYI I'm currently running TofClock WM5 1.71a (working like a charm) and BTHTools 1.1.0.0 (which is also working like a charm.... NB the cab version as oddly enough I couldn't get the PC exe version to work). Just ensure that after installation your registry has theses settings entered under:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Bluetooth Tools

then add new values of:

Type Name Data

REG_SZ DLL BTHToday.dll

REG_DWORD Enabled 1

REG_DWORD Flags 0

REG_DWORD Options 0

REG_DWORD Order 32

REG_DWORD Type 4

NB Order is just the position number in the Today screen list so just tweak it via WM's start\settings\personal\Today route or type a number which suites you directly when entering the values above.
