Surely this is not a serious question. You intend to desolder the existing cpu?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] g4Nk:
Have you not been paying attention to benchmarks? The Snapdragon is way better than the exynos...

Although, I agree that you shouldn't even consider trying to swap processors. Maybe try to purchase a Snapdragon variant?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sindre2104:
Having some experience with PCB and electronics production, no it would not be possible to outright swap the cpu.

But maybe if you are good at tinkering you could buy a motherboard off of a broken device and swap that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Eaglesix:
I do not have a lot of experience with electronics modification so i guess my only option is to buy the Snapdragon variant from another country.

In this context does anyone know of any verified phone sellers on the asian market (where the snapdragon variant currently is available) that has a webshop with international delivery?

Also if i buy the phone from asia will i be able to use it with a telephone subscription in Europe or is there some fundamental differences on the phone depending on where you buy it?

Nope, the only thing sd820 is better than 8890 is GPU. In cpu 8890 kills the sd820 even on battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Um, the 820 CPU beats the 8890 in single core performance. And battery life with the 820... well, I'll let my screenshots speak for themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nizmoz15:
Numbers aren't everything. People with the Snapdragon are having issues playing videos that are 1080p and above. Video stops playing but sound still happens on youtube. Same issue the LG V10 had and another phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
Nope it doesn't. Read Andrei on Reddit. Total score yes, on actual performance per cycle it doesn't. 7h sot over 48h total on my exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
But it does. The only thing it slightly loses in is Integer performance. But it makes up for this in floating point superiority. Don't forget, the exynos in single threaded stuff runs at 2.6ghz, thats about 18% faster than the snapdragons 2.15ghz. If we Normalized the clocks, theres really no question which ones superior in single core performance. As for OPs question, no, unless you are a total bada** it would almost certainly not work. You would likely need to replace the whole board, not just the CPU as it's all one big interconnected system. Especially on the sd820, due to it using the symphony system manager to dynamically offload tasks to the DSP and other blocks to save power and improve performance. On top of all that you would also have weird issues with the kernel being for exynos version for instance and have to get that fixed.

Tldr. Plz don't...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fkofilee:
IMHO, The SD 820 beats the 8890 in some areas. However, To me it doesnt really matter which we have, The Device is extremely good with both. Runs a dream. However there is always the issue that development will become slightly frgamented...

We have TWRP for Exynos but not for SD devices. Plus im sure the ROM Will follow soon.

Whats interesting is that the S5 and Note 4 devices internationally came with SD 801 and 805 Respectively.

However after the S6 / Note 5 all Exynos product etc, Sammie decidied to flip that on its head :/ Personally I prefer SD chips. Solely because from previous experience they trashed Exynos and Kirin based ones. However Sammie really upped their game! :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
The reason Samsung didn't use the 810 last year was because it was an inferior SOC. It had a lot of heat issues. Up to that point qcom had been great. Also we have no twrp or kernels yet on SD because Samsung has only released exynos source so far for some reason -_-
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chord_Hugo87:
consider samsung had a year with the 14nm processor, I would love to get my hand on an exynos processor. I have a feeling Samsung pay extra attention to their own processor than a snapdragon 820. Things like updates may come quicker too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fkofilee:
As Sammies Chip making process has grown (Yes Apple... Im looking at oyu) , its made Sammie a helluva ton'a muneh!

Seriously though, Samsung have done a good job with the last 2 gens of processors. S6 and Note 5 and the S7 8890 are nuts!

As for the sourcecode, well when its created by Samsung etc its not so bad :)

Back to the OP. No you cannot change the processor. Besides if it goes wrong, Warranty is instantly void :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
It does but there is a diffrence. When the exynos win it does it with almost 40% in single core which IS noticeable ..the sd820 only wins with up to 10% which is not ( talking about single core here). Hopefully anandtech will sink there teeth in to both socs soon and we will get a clear answer. As for boost clocks... the sd820 have a GPU boost which helps it in bursty situations but can't sustain it for long, that's the extra score in 3D for ya. But will see as time goes by..I have a feeling the exynos is the better overall :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
I still had almost 20% battery left in those screenshots. :cool:

Either way, I don't think you can say the Exynos is superior. It's better at some things, sure, but the 820 also beats the Exynos in several areas. I have used both extensively and in real world usage, you can't tell a difference. Only benchmarks show the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
The best win the exynos pulls off in single core is in AES with a 57% win over the SD 820. In the same category the 820 wins sha2 with about a 40% win. And the exynos is clocked almost 20% higher... The exynos 7420 Mali GPU also had a burst clock. It ran at 650mhz unless all cores weren't loaded it would boost up to 720mhz for bursty workloads. In floating point the snapdragon pretty much wins everything despite being at a significant clock disadvantage. If we under clocked the exynos to 2.1ghz it wouldn't even be close IMO. In fact the Integer wins may be largely lost when clocks are normalized.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] felixthecat:
Qwhy don't people to a trans Atlantic phone exchange. I'm sticking with the exception exynos for the battery. Still waiting for a decent screen protector and battery case though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
The cores are way bigger in the sd820 you can't use mhz as reference as the A9 chip only have 1.9 and still kicks the sd and exynos butts in single core. It's not built the same way hence the rules don't apply to mhz.. the sd get hot at 2.15... it can't reach 2.6 without burning up.

Edit. 1.8ghz for A9
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
This is from today, second charge with much vr (which drains the battery quick compare to gaming videos etc) otherwise pretty normal use with some app install,kamera,browsing and voice calls. Still not in doze (put it in auto)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
My SD hasn't gotten hot at all even playing 3d games. And it's totally applicable. Ananadtech almost always mentions normalizing the clocks. In fact during their performance preview for the 820 they compared it to the 7420 and 810 and mentioned how the differences changed when normalizing the clocks. What I'm saying is clock for clock the 820 is faster. It just so happens that in single threaded tasks the 8890 can jump up to a 20% higher frequency in order to even stay competitive. In reference to the A9, normalizing the clocks in a comparison would just go to show you how much faster clock for clock the A9 is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
Even so, the Exynos can handle it as it stays cool since its part of the build to have 2.6. The SD 820 don't have that in the build and would be overclocking the max frequency.

The a72's are built for 2.6.. and in the Exynos case, only 2 of 4 cores have this burst to 2.6.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Ausboy 2011:
My exynos cpus especially the mongoose cores rarely fire up all 4. Mainly cpu 4 and 5 do most the work even in benchmarking 80% of the time the mongoose cores only have 2 lit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
We overclocked the Nexus 6 to over 3.1ghz and it had an 805 that ran stock 2.5ghz... And that was on like 28nm. It doesn't need to be built to run at a certain frequency. It's all just a balance of power efficiency, thermals, and voltage headroom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Tw1sted247:
Troll thread, nothing but, when the only difference between the two handsets is the CPU/SOC wish the modem etc is on. So why buyou one to manually swap the "CPU" when you can buy the other. Which accomplishes the target out of the box. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Xileforce:
Lol exactly, but I assume the OP thought maybe it was easier to swap boards than the hassle of buying an unlocked SD version. Which is not the case lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] johanbiff:
Yes it is, and who is saying the exynos can't be over clocked to 3.1? If it works, just go a long with it. I've seen sd820 CPU temp having a hard time keeping up with 8890 so don't think there are much room but who knows. The socs are really good this year. Compare the sd820 and 8890 to last year's sd810 and 7420 they are running 10 degree c cooler and does not heat up as much (pretty much stays at 26c for the exynos wile playing games) so I'm more than happy with either of the socs this year actually :)

I'm glad my Snapdragon doesn't have that issue, I wouldn't be able to watch 3D movies. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cuezaireekaa:
a bit off topic: but yes this has happened to me with some 4k videos on youtube using the s7 edge snapdragon.

this problem was much worse on the lg v10 and is a big reason why i returned it and got the note 5. the problem does not exist on that device.

well i have more use for the sd card and waterproof capabilities a lot more than the spen, so i jumped to s7edge from the note 5. and now im seeing this vdeo freezing while sound keeps playing with a few 4k vids. this is not cool at all. glad i still have the note 5. dont want to return the s7e but if this is gonna be an issue like it still is on the lgv10, then ill just keep my note. idk but these newer phones shouldnt be doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nizmoz15:
I'll deal with it till the note 6 comes out. This phone kills the note 5 in battery life to the point that I will keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cuezaireekaa:
You're so right. I was just so ticked when the v10 did it and I just had a flashback. I really do like the s7. Form factor and all. Just want it to be perfect lol. It blaster would've did it for me..

But, I did a factory test pressing volume - & power buttons. Vibration was working in the test.

Volume + with power button boots in to stock gionee recovery.

I removed the battery to check the branding, but only IMEI numbers were written with no branding. But, battery and battery door are gionee branded.

On the housing, an alpha-numeric word is found. i.e. WBL7511A, which is also mentioned as model no. (Screenshots attached).

The phone itself is very smooth to use. Camera using flash produces tinted images.

The phone doesn't look to be a clone. Compared in real life with other Gionee Elife S Plus. Exactly same, except ram.

So, I am very confused with this phone. Is this a genuine phone? Allview V2 Viper X is the closest phone matching every specs.

Please help me find out the truth...
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedyside:
Hi everyone,

I've already asked my question on dedicate Android TV/Sony forum but my question concerned also Android TV system in general so I take chance..

I have KD-43X8305C (EU_FR model) and my stock firmware version is 2287.

I tried to update my device on line but I have message with a 2123 error (Server unvalaible).

then I tried downloading the last firmware PKG (3.317) from sony website and forced it via USB (with different stick).

it says "updating", tried copied file on TV but the tv restart just after and restart many time (with bootlogo... Android update) but the version still the same.

Is it possible to find a log file in android TV wich can explain that issue, I'm not specialist with Linux/Android TV but I think that the system could not find any free memory space to save the pkg file or don't have permission to save in the correct file. .

Thanks for your help.

OK, so I bought a used Cingular 8125 Friday. Fortunately it is a G3 so following the wonderful instructions on this forum I'm now running XDA6r3 on it. First and most important question, is there a way turn off those damn flashing LEDs next to the earpiece?? They're irritating especially at night in the car since I usually put it in a cupholder to see who's calling when I get a call. I might have more later, not sure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
The green led is going to flash as long as flight mode is not turned on and the blue light is going to flash as long as you have your bluetooth turned on. The orange light however, can be turned off while the phone is not charging. just go to sounds and notifications under start/settings/personal and turn off the flash led option under all notifications.

Sorry but thats the only flashing light that can be disable. Try putting the phone in the cupholder upside down so you don't see the lights. Thats my only other suggestion.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Sabersoul:
Damn. Those LEDs get on my very last nerve, too. Oh well. :) I'm sure as the days go by I'll have some more questions. My last phone was a Treo 650 so Windows Mobile is taking some getting used to.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZVNexus:
Hello! It has been 5 months since I purchased my trusty LG V10, but I am a little bit disappointed at the lack of development for the AT&T and Verizon models. I understand that developers have better things to do besides try to find root for a device that not a lot of people even use, but is there anyone out there? I saw what happened to the Paying (and Praying) forum, I enjoyed looking at it from Day to day. I switched to the LG V10 after I had enough of not being able to do just about anything on the iPhone 5c. I was pressured into buying it at the store by one of the employees, and I was originally going to go with a LG G4, but it seemed better. Now I would take root over 1 more GB of RAM to be honest. Also, what happened to Marshmallow? I was looking forward to it when I heard it released, but now it has been almost a year since it came out... I know there must be a way to get the boot loader unlocked, but I don't know how, I would like to become a Developer for this phone, but I don't know where to learn.

Sorry, this has turned more into a rant than anything else, but just voicing my concerns.

Hello

I give you speaker volume boost for the Galaxy S7, Exynos variants. check under system/etc and mixer_paths.xml with a root explorer.

these are the stock values, I think 30-31 is good, but you can try higher values and see what you think.

<ctl name="DSP5L Input 1 Volume" value="26" />

<ctl name="DSP5L Input 2 Volume" value="26" />
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gilg@mesh:

thats the stock values, you could try 30-31.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikegrmn:
This thread seems a bit old, but after I thought that flashing the zubi mod with flashfire didn't really yield a lot of difference (at least not noticeable for me), I tried this one. To verify, I actually set the values to 15 and the sound of the speaker was clearly less loud. As 30 didn't yet cut it, I'll try the 33.

What I found though, just as a side note: if you scroll down after changing numbers according to this thread, if you mute incall for the same values (guess this would be speaker phone), and unmute later, the values go back to 26. So I will change this to the same numbers as I'll use for the regular speaker.

Mic problem during video calls (G930F)

Hi, great tutorial/info.

I have a PixelExperience Plus custom ROM on my S7 G930F.

I am looking for the mic information as i believe that the mixer_paths file has either lowered the volume or changed which mic it is using as when i am on a video call i have to almost speak into the bottom of the phone, near the charge port. I know it is specific so i may just need to install the stock mixer_paths_0.xml file but i can't find it anywhere online. I dont suppose anyone on here has one saved that i could copy? Should have backed it up but i am a fool ;P

It is only a small problem but as i am not aways at home when my missus puts my son to bed i'd still like to be able to video call properly.
