[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knight_Droid:
I was wondering if the community could help me make a decision as to which model S4 would be best suited for me for primary use in the USA with very light travel abroad. I’ve done my research on XDA and would like to hear some opinions of USA users of the S4.

I will outline some of my usage profile to help guide suggestions (this is not in order of importance).

•	Primarily use data over Wi-Fi.

•	Would like to root the phone.

•	Telephone Voice Recording (my job description often requires taking directions over the phone)

•	Wi-Fi calling would be great but not a must.

•	I like to jump between AT&T and T-Mobile so I need to have that flexibility. Mostly for the prepaid services.

•	I would prefer a very responsive device.

•	A lot of voice communication over the phone primarily using a Bluetooth headset.

•	4G would be nice but 3G is more than adequate for my data needs.

•	Fastest camera load times as well as picture quality is important to me.

•	The phone will be purchased without a contract.

•	I know what KNOX is but not sure how that would apply to which model to get if I want to root the phone.

Here are the options (if I leave something out please mention). If I state something incorrect please correct me.

i9500 - this is an eight core model, my understanding is that only four cores running at time anyway so there really is no advantage there. This is the first version of the S4.

i9505 - probably the one with the most development options as well as custom ROMs.

i9006 - probably the best performing version. Can it be rooted? KNOX workaround?

SGH-M919 - this is the T-Mobile version. My understanding is that it’s similar to the 9505 in terms of hardware performance and has LTE capability on the T-Mobile network. This will work also on PC Metro along with Wi-Fi calling on both T-Mobile and PC Metro.

What is the warranty situation on each of those for the USA (the T-Mobile one would be bought unlocked brand-new).

So based on my description of usage what do you guys recommend?

I like to thank everyone who contributes to helping me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
It depends on which operator you use?

9500 is dual-quad core, but there seems rumor in next version of Android update will make it octa core online at same time

9506 , best for performance, rooting yes but KNOX ,I think it comes out with 4.3 so already included KNOX bootloader in factory.

If you don't wanna 4G and need some flashing, 9500 or 9505 , no flashing? 9506

But if you want 4G, take M919

9505 and 919 are hardware identical except radio frequency (although some of them coincided, but I think 9505 may not work on T-Mobile, but I don't know for sure )
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knight_Droid:
I’m going to jump from AT&T to T-Mobile. Primarily the prepaid variance. The reason being is I travel for work and certain areas get better coverage than others so I constantly flip back and forth.

I wasn’t aware of this. But honestly by the time this rolls around I will probably be moving on to the next device.

So if I just want to root the phone will this affect KNOX on this model. And is there a workaround for this?

I don’t really care that much about 4G. If I have it it’s nice, 3G will suit me more than enough. When you talk about flashing your talking about putting custom ROMs? That has nothing to do with rooting? And I am assuming you say that because the 9506 lacks in development because most people are going to wait for the S5, which is basically going to be the 9506 but waterproof.

Can you root the 9506?

Is there a big difference between the 9506 and 9505 in terms of performance? If you have to take a guess is it a 10% increase 30% increase?

Thank you for your response.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
Sorry for answer like this, tapatalk isn't good when reply it, I will try to answer your further question anyway I can.

Either, I think you should consult the operator if 9500/9505 works well on certain radio frequency before you buy it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knight_Droid:
Ok thank you.

I was thinking that somebody with the right knowledge and skill could develop a customized version of Android that acts as a gaming platforn and not anything else. In essence, removing all power and ram intensive applications that gaming does not rely on in order to provide a gaming console with decent battery life and decent gameplay. I forgot to mention...i would be really cool if you could dual boot also. :)

Thanks, but this is not what i meant. i ment for an Android system that would act only as a gaming platform, no messaging service, no telephony service, and if possible no cached services whatsoever. I know that that would slow down loading of apps but it will also clear up a lot of memory.

so you think that if I change the motherboard the problem will be solved? thanks

Hey guys,

I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but I do know, that in Australia, pretty much all our service provided content, is streamed tru RTSP (real player stream).

Now I recently just signed up to a fifa world cup pack, but can't watch any streams, because, I can find any way to play them.

I've installed real player to no success... I think part of the problem, is the file associtation, in that, when PIE is finding a link to an RTSP stream, it isn't being registered to open with real player.

Has anyone been able to play an RTSP stream? I would imagine, most 3G providers, stream their content tru RTSP.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JuanCMe:
I now you have asked a lot of time ago, but have you ever tried HTC Streaming? Do you still have this phone? Here in Mexico, Iusacell (carrier) offers a service called Traficam, with this service you can watch the traffic at some importants points of the city via RTSP and I'm using this program, the quality is not exactly great, but it works fine!

I have one question for you, is there any carrier in Australia using CDMA? Because I will travel there in September and I will remain there for about 6 months and I want to use there my Titan.

I think if u do it you will lose phone call and 3G mobile data.

I have been in a similar situation with my ex-tab P-6200, I installed a custom rom for the wifi only version. It woked nicely but with no phone calls or mobile data 3G. So I removed it and got back to stock rom.

How?
[Xperia SP Android Development] mrjraider:
Since it is possible to boot non Sony ROMS with LB ROMS are popping out of the ground like trees.

@ OP: Is it possible to do the same with KitKat (CM11)?

Nice work!
[Xperia SP Android Development] bez_iom:
Wow amazing work, it is as if ROMs are raining down from the sky now on LB now.
[Xperia SP Android Development] UltraWelfare:
All these roms existed back on 4.1.2...They were based on a 4.3 kernel..Now that we have a 4.3 kernel we don't need to change kernel so anyone can rebuild the roms based on the stock kernel.Unlocking the bootloader enables you to change kernels but now we have a 4.3 rom and if we rebuild it based on a 4.3 stock kernel there is no need of having unlocked bootloader.... KitKat roms require a change of kernel(4.4 kernel) which you can't change unless you have unlocked bootloader
[Xperia SP Android Development] Babyrasta:
Woooot.

[Xperia SP Android Development] MrSteve555:
Well, KitKat is totally possible on locked BL. We don't need to change kernels for it, we "just" need to compile a module for every change in the kk kernel, and then insmod the modules before hijacking ramdisk. So, it's possible, but really time-consuming.

The best solution is to get kexec working on locked BL's.

There's a thread on xda about it, where delewer, dh.harald and others tried to make it work. Maybe you, [MENTION=5765508]bagyusz[/MENTION], should try? You showed us that you have great skills.

And, just to clarify, with kexec we will be prepared for Android 4.5, 4.6... and we won't need to make separate ROMs for locked and unlocked BLs. Also, MultiROM solutions would be possible.

Complete freedom and equality:P!

[General Questions and Answers] tenshiru:
Hello! My Dell laptop is broken and have decided to get a Chromebook after realizing I don't do much on my previous laptop except web surfing. I do have a Note 3 and Nook HD+ 9in rooted with CM10 installed but sometimes I just have to browse on a bigger screen with a dedicated keyboard for typing. Having full blown Chrome browser instead of the mobile version is great too. So, I need a bit of help trying to decide between the two Chromebooks I've narrowed down to.

Here are the specs for the HP Chromebook 14 (from walmart):

Key Features and Benefits:

Intel Celeron 2955U processor

1.40GHz, 2MB L3 Cache

4GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory

16GB solid state drive

Store 10,000 photos, 4,500 songs or 8 hours of HD video and more

802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN

Wirelessly connect to a WiFi signal or hotspot with the 802.11a/b/g/n connection built into your PC

Intel HD Graphics

With HDMI capabilities

Bluetooth

HP TrueVision HD webcam

SD memory card reader

1 x USB 2.0 port, 2 x USB 3.0 ports, 1 x HDMI port, 1 x headphone/microphone jack

4-cell lithium-ion battery

4.07 lbs, 0.81" x 13.56" x 9.44"

Price: $349

Samsung Chromebook 2 (from samsung; will be release in April):

Size: 13.3"

Resolution: Full HD LED Display (1920x1080)

Processor: Exynos 5 Octa (2.1GHz, 2mb L2 cache)

Memory: 4GB DDR3L system memory at 1600MHz

Storage: 16gb e.MMC iNAND embedded flash drive

Camera: 720p HD web camera

Battery life: up to 8.5 hours

Dimensions: 12.72" x 8.8" x x.65"

Weight: 3.09 lbs

Ports: 1 HDMI, 1 USB3.0, 1 USB2.0, MicroSD multi-media card reader, Headphone out/Mic-in combo, DC in

Price: $399.99

Does it look like it will be worth it to spend an extra $50 for the Samsung to get HD resolution and a better processor? I do like the HP's bigger size but at least the Samsung isn't as small as the other Chromebooks (11 inches).

Thanks all!

Hi, hope my reply is not too late.

I purchased the HP 14 two months ago and I havent looked back. I am not a big games player but I do use a laptop a lot as I am a teacher and use presentations very often. It took a bit of getting used to working in a different way but I havent used Powerpoint on my laptop for over a month now.

I am more than happy with the HP with long battery life at 7hrs plus, good graphics (although some moan abaout the screen), easy use keyboard and a responsive touchpad.

So, I cant say anything about the samsung but the HP is a nice piece of kit with the 3g built in.
