i9200 has FM radio?

Hello, can you confirm that this has FM radio. I mean hardware FM radio. Other sites that I've saw some guys are fighting over saying that none of the Mega has FM radio. sorry, I know you said it does but just want to be sure before I pick one up. I really like the FM radio, cause well, i don't have data plan..... some sellers on ebay are saying theirs has FM radio when in fact it's only an app needing data connection.

thanks in advance!

I have the I-9200. It definitely have fm radio. I was just listening to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] slamming_sammy1:
FM radio - does it matter where (region wise) you buy it?

I have the I-9200. It definitely have fm radio. I was just listening to it.

thanks. just one more question, does it matter where like in what region of the world you buy it from, that would have it or not? I only ask because of this forum that I saw, these guys were saying 'region dependent'; maybe I should ask them but they were shouting with each pretty good. anyway, thank you, I'd think it shouldn't matter where.

that's great to hear. this will be my next phone for sure!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] koniakki:
Mine was from Saudi Arabia and when I re-flashed the Stock Arabic ROM to copy some apk's from it, it still had the FM Radio. But I'm on SilentLight now which doesn't have FM Radio.

But as I said I only tried the Saudi Arabia ROM which is the country that my Mega was imported and it did have the FM Radio. Other stock i9200 Roms from other countries might have FM Radio too. :good:

Been there too. Now I remind all my friends that don't know that when using Power Save mode their phone's are running a lot slower. ;)

You will love it. Enjoy. :D

Purchased my Mega on Allegro a week ago! Holly cow! It's amazing. As for me it is not a bit too big... and after two days it is quite normal, and every other phone is too small... I have rooted it yesterday and now I play with it. Thinking about installing CWM, but as for now i do not need it but for backup. I am not planning installing any other ROM in near future.

Greetings

I also happen to have a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9200. I bought it in July 2014. My phone is running on official Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware. I haven't even rooted it yet. Still I am getting scores in 8500s. The latest score I got is 8512. By the way I am really happy with this device. Has very good features at such a good price. I love the IR blaster especially.

Hello,

I'm trying to fix my brothers Verizon Galaxy Nexus. He tried to downgrade from CM 10.2 back to CM 10.1 and royally messed up his phone (he didn't know about the change in OS versions and how bad it would be). I've been trying to fix it all day.

1) Restoring from a back-up (which is back from February because he doesn't make back-ups UGH) doesn't work

2) Reflashing the 9/4 CM 10.2 nightly doesn't work

I'm trying to sideload the most recent 10.2 nightly just in case that may work, but I am running into issues. When I try to sideload the zip, I am getting the following error message:

failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'

When I try to just push the zip to the phone, I get an error message of "error: closed"

I really just want to be able to copy some files off of the internal memory (photos, etc.) before flashing the stock image and starting over from fresh.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try?

Thank you

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMaLuST:
Hello guys,

I am a newbie and I would love if someone could technically compare this two socs.

I have already read the topics in the Galaxy S4 sections, but they are not updated.

I would like to hear from expert users what are the differences performance-wise.

I also have some questions:

1) Which version is the Octacore soc in the Note 3? 5420?

2) In practice I know that if I choose the Snap800 version I get LTE and 4k video recording; but what are the advantages of the Octa Core soc?

I know that the new Octa Core is 15-20% more powerful than the 5410, but so is the snap800 vs snap600. What is the best in raw performance between the two socs?

3) How does the new Adreno 330 compare against the new Mali T628 in terms of pure performance?

4) I read in the S4 forum that the Exynos 5410 is affected by a bug at the Corelink which caused some slow downs in the switch between A7 and A15 cores. Is the Exynos 5420 bugfree?

5) Which cpu is more future proof? I mean, aren't the A15 cores newer than the Snap's Krait 400?

6) Do we actually know if the 5420 supports the HMP (Heterogenius MultiProcessing)? If it does, will we have to wait for a software upgrade? (kernel?)

7) Which will be the best for battery consuption? Today I read that the Snap800 has an Envelope Tracking which should reduce the battery consuption caused by the mobile network by 30%, but I have read everywhere that the octa core is a bit more power efficient.

Sorry for all those questions and for my english. I study economy and I have just a little knowledge of these things :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
It does now. And they actually created a song to show that:

[YOUTUBE]Zwbeb08W27U[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMaLuST:
Thank you, so we have an answer for my 6th question, but are we sure that the video is referring to the 5420 soc and not to a future revision?

Edit: for the people who might be interest, I found this page in a forum in which there is a comparison between Adreno 330 vs Mali T628:

http://beyond3d.com/showthread.php?p=1768581 and in terms of pure performance the Adreno 330 seems to be around 25-26% better than the Mali. But both deliver more GFlops than the Tegra 4.

So at the moment:

Snap800:

+ Ultra HD 4k video recording;

+ Lte

+ Better GPU performance (aprox 26% more)

OctaCore 5420

+ HMP which should led to better battery life

+ New A15 platform

The only things left to understand is the raw power of the cpu (4 A15 @1.9ghz vs 4 Krait 400 @2.3ghz) and the efficiency (Octa's HMP vs Snap's Envelope Filter http://gigaom.com/2013/09/05/thanks...xy-note-3s-huge-screen-wont-kill-its-battery/ which is said to spare 25% of battery life! Is that believable??)

Any idea?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
Don't look at GFLOPS number for 2 different architecture. Doesn't make much sense.

Just as an example, check numbers for Adreno 330 and T4. GFLOPS are quite different, but actual GFXbench numbers are very close.

Samsung says GPU is 2.3 times the Octa 1st-gen.

In SIGGRAPH event, they showed that it's 2x N10 numbers in a prototype. Just not the fps, but the overall demo looks much cleaner. So, I expect the number to be close to 2.5x-3x once it's optimized fully. You will notice that similar happened with T4 Shield. Over period of time, it has got much better result.

Another very nice demo of the T628 GPU:

[YOUTUBE]qENsT-bdf-I[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
1) Exynos 5420

4) Exynos 5410 had its CCI disabled-a hardware limitation, not a bug. The CCI is enabled in 5420

6) It does support all the 3 processing types. Latest linux kernel has the support.

The rest of your questions (3,5,7) need real life testing and user reaction and professional reviews as the two variants will finally be out.

BTW, the youtube video demonstrated another new variant- Exynos Octa-Pella which most probably will be called Exynos 5440 and will come later this year.

If you want a more future-proof device, i'd go with an obvious (for me, at least) choice for the S800. You'll get the drivers and more dev support. Samsung doesn't release all the drivers - they never did and i don't think that's going to change for their Exynos chipsets.

Interesting to see how they both compare against each other.

If they both had 4g it would be a different story - What is samsungs excuse for the lack of 4g? Surely the 5420 supports it

i have a huge doubt about NOTE 3 specs

according to the global microsite, only UHD feature ie (4k ) feature is limited to markets and is available only in snapdragon version alone . please check the gloabal microsite link . i cant post links ere !

Recording : UHD 30fps (*may differ by market), Smooth motion (FHD 60fps),

Slow motion (HD 120fps)

but in indian samsung website

nothing is mentioned about this .

u can check this in samsung estore website .

Please let me know whether the Indian version [SM-N9000] will support UHD at 60fps and slow motion at 120fps .

Three Reasons for the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420:

1) Notably more memory bandwidth 14.9 GB/s	vs	12.8 GB/s

2.10 GB/s more memory bandwidth. This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

2) Considerably higher ram speed	1866	vs	800

1066 higher ram speed. It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.

3) Supports hardware-assisted virtualization	Yes	vs	No

it is easier to obtain better performance when using virtualization if it is hardware-assisted.

Three Reasons for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800:

1) Shorter	10 mm	vs	11 mm	1 mm shorter.

2) Explicitly narrower	10 mm	vs	12 mm	2 mm narrower.

3) Reasonably faster CPU clock speed	27.78% faster CPU clock speed.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
The exynos processor in the Note 3 is basically an overclocked version of the one found in the international s4, no? If I recall correctly, the exynos octa in the S4 lost to the snapdragon 600 variant in terms of battery life, despite having a BIGlittle architecture. Which means that the Note 3's exynos might still be unable to provide the long battery life that it's supposed to have.

So it seems like the exynos is better in terms of audio processing while the snapdragon 800 would have better battery life and gpu performance.

I'm not sure which one has better CPU performance though.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domdym:
dom

the Exynos version will be better then the Chipset used in the Galaxy s4 which is BEASTLY!

Yes graphics are better on the s800 SOC by 28% on paper but dont worry thinking the Exinos will be feeble, it is capable of handling its own against the competition. Samsung wouldn't put it in the note 3 unless it created the same user experience.

Also the Processor is very powerful on the Exinos 5 SOC at 1.9ghz its a higher performance level then the S800 at 2.3ghz so in the end you wont see many real life differences between the two because cpu and gpu work together in most cases... and even then are you going to be doing a side by side comparison of the two?

because if your not holding them side by side you wont know the difference. accept for the lack of 4k video recording on the Exinos handset which is useless accept for bragging rights...

i am on Verizon and getting the S800 version but only because it is the option i am given, I would take either one over the other competing brands for all of the notes features regardless of its chipset.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

what is 4k recording but bragging rights and a niche enthusiast feature

how many people in the main stream can edit 4k? or utilize its high resolution to achieve digitally stabilized after processing?

well i can but most cant. its only with a $3000 workstation that processing 4k becomes relevent because to edit that type of footage is not practical on common everyday PCs and nothing plays 4k accept insanely high priced UHD TVs that no one should buy in till the media players can handle it and also we need to have a 4k bluray disk/ "GreenRay" CrystalDisk. i just dont see the importance to most main stream customers of 4k. im not an opponent of the feature.. I just dont think it is an amazing feature when the files take up tons of space and you cant watch them on anything short of a 4k TV or a high end PC with mosaic 2x2 Tiled 1920x1200p screens (Which i use) actually a mosaic of 3 vertical side by side 1200x1920 screens run in a mosaic would be pretty close to 4k (3600x1920 to be exact) but still it falls short, might give you a 90% sample of the clarity.. but then again you might run into resolution conversion issues where it just looks blurry...

bottom line is this is not very useful feature until UHD TV and UHD monitors become closer to standard.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zergslayer69:
If you guys fire up the 3dmark app and look at the scores, the snapdragon 800 beats the exynos version overall by almost 3000 points. HOWEVER! If you look at the physics/cpu fps, you'll notice the exynos beats the snapdragon scores in all 3 benchmarks. So either the cpu side has been optimized or it's 3dmark that's designed to be able to utilize all 8 cores at once. If it's the latter, then that means the snapdragon is still king since most apps only use 2 cores, maybe 4 at best.
