Common knowledge to whom? Forum geniuses who like to spread false assumptions and BS "reports " like you did in the post before just now?

Do you then know what you're talking about or are you spewing buzzwords around?

Any SoC with an SPI or HSIC bus can be connected to any modem because they are standard interconnects. There are no driver issues nor any other source of incompatibility, nor any other vague inexistent reasons you seem incapable of specifying.

The S2 in NA had Snapdragons because of CDMA and it was cheaper to use Qualcomms solution. Qualcomm provides a discount to OEMs if they buy a platform as a package so keep in mind the financial aspect of that choice.

Your Sprint version had Exynos due to another third-party modem due to WiMax which QC didn't provide.

The S3 had a Snapdragon in NA because its MDM solution had a monopoly on LTE for all carriers. The One X was in the very same situation and the reason why they didn't use a Tegra 3 in the NA variant.

The Note 2 launched on Exynos world-wide because QC had a discrete LTE modem available by this time. The S3 LTE (9305) launched at the same time internationally. The reason for this is why this thread was even brought up, the 4412 was simply superior to the Snapdragon S3. The NA userbase is bitter still due to this fact.

The S4 was meant to be NA and Japan QC only but the 5410 was broken performance and consumption wise and it ended up with that all global LTE variants except the Korean one came with a QC chip. The international Exynos versions with LTE were cancelled. In fact, all Exynos versions in LTE markets were cancelled, you could not buy a 3G S4 in Europe.

The Note 3 was initially planned with a 5410 but that also got shelved due to above reasons. It was a miracle that the 5420 was made in time else the Note 3 would have been Qualcomm exclusive world-wide (And I have good source on that it was planned like that).

Now again Qualcomm has a monopoly on LTE-A on their MDM solution as there are no discrete modems currently available, and why all LTE-A devices are S800 solutions.

The S5 will likely still be in the same situation. There will be no competitive discrete products to compete with QC until later this year so you can expect the status quo of different models to continue until then.

So please stop spewing uninformed BS around if you have not the slightest grasp of the industry.

I have to agree, I had the GN10.1 2014 Edition (Exynos WiFi Model) and it stuttered worse than Forest Gump, my GN3 on the other hand with SD800 was rock solid.
[Galaxy S 5 General] KCRic:
wow, just wow. So still no sources for all those words? Not to mention you're getting very lippy using "bs" and telling me how I'm "spewing" things. Interestingly enough, I stayed that I would admit that I'm wrong if given the proper evidence. In no way was I personally attacking you, nor did I sink to using loose insult attempts with abbreviations of vulgur phrases.

Yet another shining example of the downward trend this site has seen lately. You want to provide sources to back statements? Good. Otherwise I can start throwing around conspiracy paradigms about one entity controlling sunlight and all tech used to view it.

For the record, I don't recall my Exynos device being more expensive than the SD equivalent. And just because two objects plug together doesn't mean they work well together if at all. Anyone that has built a computer can tell you that. Hell, I guess I can take the SoC from this phone and toss it in my old G2 and have all sorts of Frankenstein badassery :silly:

Again, all I'm asking for is proof. "Hey, you misunderstand the reason for this here's why" post link. Done. Without the other asinine 12 year old attitude. You seem intelligent, you should portray yourself as such.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
I'm the source as far as you're concerned. I broke the story on several topics over the last year, and I'm not going to post some third-party site which rehashes what I say just to give weight to it for incredulents like you. My track-record speaks for itself.

You already show that you don't comprehend the difference between component cost and device cost. Please stop trying to participate in this discussion.

The 5410 costed about $30 while the S600 was only $20, and that you can find yourself on the web.
[Galaxy S 5 General] anirudh412:
I agree, AndreiLux was a little too offensive, but dude, do you even know who this guy is? Do a little search about his work and background before you call his knowledge hokey.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
I couldn't disagree anymore. First, this is all speculative, no facts. Second, the Tmobile note 3 works PERFECTLY with AT&Ts'LTE network (25-45 Mbps in the dmv area) which is great so it could be the same with the S5.

AT&T is highly likely going to lock the boot loader but there's going to be ways around it especially for a major phone like this (the note 3 for AT&T for example). It may not be as dev friendly as the international version but it'll have support for sure. It's better to look at the positives instead of focusing on the negatives.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RaptorMD:
I see root as a strong possibility, but getting an unlocked bootloader on a Verizon or AT&T version is not likely. Did they achieve that with the GS4? The last I read (and just did a Google search) the answer seems to be no.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Root will be achieve and custom roms will happen. I'm pretty sure the AT&T and Verizon versions will have a locked boot loader which sucks, but it won't stop development (at least in the beginning until they patch the exploit that will lead to custom roms and stuff). Who knows, the devs may find a way to unlock those boot loaders.
[Galaxy S 5 General] MattMJB0188:
That's fine. You can disagree all you want. The past speaks for itself. How they have done things in the past has ultimately been a nightmare for us folks who enjoy using our phones the way we like. I bet you anything the S5 will be the same as far as excluding the exynos processor and bootloader.

The T-Mobile Note 3 does get AT&T LTE, however, in my experience the LTE signal was horrible. Everywhere my AT&T branded S4 got a good LTE signal, my TMO N3 would struggle to pick up even one bar. And your wrong about AT&T versions having more development support. The AT&T S4 development is practically dead. The N3 for AT&T has active development, but its much more difficult for someone to root or use safestrap than previous methods. It is also very dangerous to attempt these new methods. Locked bootloaders only leads to more bricks. ENOUGH SAID.

Can't be positive, gotta be realistic.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
You're not being realistic my friend, you sound negative.

You should have said that earlier about the tmobile devices not playing nice on AT&T LTE network, you can't speak for everyone cause I had great speed with my Tmobile note 3 on AT&T.

Again you're misunderstanding, I never said the Ar&t s4 got better development than the others, I said at least it got development despite the locked boot loaders.

And lastly, give some credit to the devs, it isn't their fault if the boot loader is locked. Safestrap isn't as cool as a regular recovery but they did a fine job giving us the opportunity to flash Roms. At the end of the day it's your choice, you can always buy something else cause here are some almost certainty:

-AT&T S5 will have a locked boot loader

- devs will come up with a work around to flash roms

If these things bother you perhaps you should consider another phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
well the exynos s4 was inferior to the snapdragon model in every single way...

it only had slightly better gpu performance, we are talking about 1 to 3 fps here, but the battery life was considerably worse, and lacking lte.

i also heard that it was better to develop for the snapdragon model or something
[Galaxy S 5 General] RaptorMD:
I don't see development being hampered by anything globally, but what we get in the US is a bit more limited since we will likely never see the bootloader unlocked but hey root is enough for me most of the time.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Thats weird...My exynos S4 had better battery life than my snapdragon one. Also gaming was noticeably smoother on the exynos version.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
ill probably take your word for it then haha

because all i saw were the tests done by gsmarena, but yeah, benchmarks do differ from real world performance
[Galaxy S 5 General] MattMJB0188:
This.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nicholi2789:
I'll be happy if it get's root and safestrap. I'm running an MDK Verizon S4 and am probably holding in my hands the last custom bootloader Samsung device (on Verizon anyways) that I'll ever have. I know that eventually I'll have to give it up and switch to a SafeStrapped Samsung device but I'm trying to ride this out as long as possible. Here's to praying I don't drop it in water or something. Lol. But the S5 sounds amazing and as long as I have root at the very least. I'll be satisfied.
[Galaxy S 5 General] pham818:
The Exynos is inferior to the snapdragon. Which is why the note 10.1 2014 lagged hella compared to it's LTE variant with the s800
[Galaxy S 5 General] MultiLockOn:
Anyone with a basic understanding of mobile processing and different architectures will realize that the exynos runs circles around its Qualcomm counterpart. ARMs designs have always performed better, Qualcomm just took lead during their s600 and s800 generations because a15 wasn't as battery friendly, I could very well see the trend swinging back.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vbetts:
I wouldn't say that they've always performed better, Hummingbird had the original Snapdragon in the terms of the GPU(Adreno 200 was never a great gpu anyway), but if you look at basic tests between the two Snapdragon was faster than Hummingbird. Tegra 2 was also Arm designs for the a9 cores, but still ended up behind the competition.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
I also don't understand why ppl think the exynos version is inferior, it performs like a champ and has a ton of processing power.
[Galaxy S 5 General] MultiLockOn:
Glad to finally find someone who knows what they're talking about aha. Yeah I've never been a fan of the tegra chipsets, they've always seemed to be the bastard child of the a9 designs, the tegra 3 had such an awful design. But in general the ARM designs have always been really good, I hope they make a comeback with the a57 chipsets
[Galaxy S 5 General] vbetts:
You and me both! I'm just hoping they're less power hungry!

Tegra isn't bad, but they fall under the same problem with every release. They're basic ARM processors with an Nvidia gpu added on. This is not bad at all, but there's nothing special that makes them a step above the rest! Tegra 2 didn't even have any NEON support!

It's looking like Tegra k1 will fix this broken cycle with Nvidia though.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SciFiJim:
+1 on this. I made the mistake of upgrading the firmware on my S4 as soon as I got it and only have safestrap available for changing roms. I will wait on upgrading devices until it is clear one way or another about a locked bootloader. I had a S2 before and loved it for its ability to change roms.
[Galaxy S 5 General] MattMJB0188:
Ok, so it won't be the same story this time around because the majority of everyone will be SKIPPING THE S5. PERIOD.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fix-this!:
My unlocked tmobile note 3 on at&t isnt too bad. A few signal issues here and there but not a deal breaker yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeboymcc:
Hi,

I got a Huawei P1 second hand, and when I plug it into the charger the red light flashes for a minute or so, then the screen flashes very quickly white and turns off. This then loops forever.

If I take the battery out, the phone shows the huawei logo, and then turns off, and loops.

I can put the phone into fastboot by holding the volume down key, but I cannot get into recovery or boot normally. I have tried flashing cwm through fastboot, but I can't boot to it.

Is this phone bricked or is there another way to get into recovery?

I do have a working P1 as well if that helps.

Any help is appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
OK, i got some answers on another forum, and these answers have been very helpful. So as i understand things now, ...

The BootLoader is in a rewriteable ROM, an actual physical chip

The 1.5 gb RAM is what i have been missing. This is where currently running programs are stored, temporarily, until

both

they are no longer running

and

the system needs the RAM to run another process

The 16 gb storage is equivalent to the hard drive on a PC. All software - Android system and apps - are stored here, and are loaded into the RAM when they need to run. The storage is divided into partitions.

I can see what programs are currently in RAM by Settings | more | app manager | running

I can see what programs are in storage by Settings | more | storage

As mentioned, the common use of the word ROM does not refer to an actual physical ROM chip or to software that might be loaded into one. Rather is is a generally accepted but misused term for replacing the whole [or perhaps part of the] operating system.

So now i have two more questions/thoughts ...

What about these partitions? Are these really partitions like on a PC hard drive? or are these really sub-directories of the root? There would be certain partitions, standard with the Android setup, each with a specific purpose. It would be helpful to know at least a few of these.

In my running apps list i see S Voice. Hhmmmm, i thought i deleted this app. I know i did. I do not need it to be in there, taking up space and CPU cycles. I expect that it is OK to Stop it, and that it will re-start itself next time i power off/up. I'll have to go down that list and see what else i can "put a stop to".

TIA. More ?s later.

Mick
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Got some more info from the other forum, including this excellent link to an explanation of the partitions, so things are moving along ....

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/android-partitions-explained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/

Looks like the "partitions" are "directories", using the old MS-DOS and UNIX terminology. So once rooted, ...

cd / goes the the root directory, or

cd /recovery goes to the recovery directory

and ...

ls

would list the contents of whatever is the current directory.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golfgirl8350:
I have a Kindle Fire HD rooted with Kinology. All Google apps have downloaded just fine, except for Google Search. I get a "Parse Error--There is a problem parsing the package" message. What I've tried to fix it so far: 1) downloaded 1Market and tried to load Google Search. 2) Cleared cache and data from both 1Market and Play Store, then shut down and restarted my KFHD. Tried to download & install from both stores. 3) Attempted to sideload Google Search from my Droid Razr Maxx via my PC. Nothing has worked. I've seen other threads for other tablets where one of these "fixes" did the trick. Not this time. Is it something about Kinology? And if it is about Kinology, is there something simple I can do? I rooted my 1st gen Kindle Fire myself (With KF Utility which made it a breeze), but bought this KFHD already rooted and don't know much about Kinology, so if there's an answer, I'd really appreciate step-by-step instructions.

usually when it says it cant parse it it's because its designed to work with a newer version of android than the device is running.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaydus:
So I recently purchased a bargain priced g pad here in the UK. I am currently an Ipad air owner(boooo) :) but wanted to get an Android tablet and this seemed like my best option. But I have to say that I am really disappointed as it it laggy as hell and the battery life is pretty poor.

Is this normal or am I the proud owner of a dud? The lag occurs in stock launcher and apex. It also happens in browsers, namely chrome, Uc and dolphin. It even lags when browsing threads on tapatalk.

I have factory reset it and no joy. I am outside the 7 day return period and so kind of need to fix the issue if poss.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general_z:
Is there any other app that lets one fix the black levels? The G Pad without any fixing of the black levels isn't that great for watching shows, movies or playing games where details often can be found in the darker areas. And trading better black levels for more lag (or having to use the Performance governor isn't great). I even noticed watching shows with Screen Adjuster made the FPS a bit jittery (like it's missing frames here and there).

You can get different scores on the exact same phone just by switching ROMs (the stock G2 ROM tends to run a couple thousand points higher than AOSP ROMs, if I remember right). There's a lot that goes into it, and it's probably not worth worrying about as long as you are otherwise satisfied with your phone's performance.

It was almost the same thing with my D802... about 28 000 before, about 36 000 after. In Antutu it's not just about a few FPS difference that the overall score is impacted by almost 8 000 points or even more (compare the detailed score).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
So here's the deal, I love a certain soundtrack on Mushroom Wars.

Someone uploaded a version of it from the PS3 version [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY54xegYEX4 ] but it seems the audio's been compressed by youtube. If possible I want to get the .ogg or whatever native format it's in, un-truncated.

So I've taken the .apk [ uploaded it here https://www.mediafire.com/?7vih6xsb0murslz ] and unzipped it and found ./assets/sound2/ which is about 11MB. I sorted by the highest size, and it shows several soundtracks, but none of them is the right one. The rest are short sound effects.

I know for a fact that the music has played on a multiplayer mode, on my tablet a couple weeks or months back. [I checked thenk, but same as now, couldn't find it].

If anyone can show me where the music file is or upload it, that would be great.

If you can record it with your phone and post that, I can get a high quality version (via ps3) if that helps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
No, it doesn't really help because I never know when the soundtrack will come on [it's somewhat random which track will play, depending on the map, which is also random]. Even then, it would have game sound effects mixed in, and I just want the raw track.

I just cannot figure out where they are hiding that specific track, or why they would try to do it. The others are easily found but I'm still drawing a blank why they [Mushroom wars developers] would do that. :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greystoker:
I was going thru the files (thanks for the apk) and noticed that on the music tracks, they're long and have like 10 songs in each track (or something like that). Basically, it's like 1 long file and every minute or so there's a new sound track in the file. Did you listen to all of them?

I swear that on PS3 there's a "CHICKIE" sound effect and in the apk I only found a "Chingie" sounding thing. I'm gonna have to play it on the PS3 and get the sound I heard cuz I want it for a notification tone :D

EDIT:

Also, as for recording it, if you can get at least a 10 second snippet of the 'track' you want, I'm willing to hunt thru the apk for it. Wouldn't hurt, right?
