what do you guys think, is all those s4 leaks a hoax(which would make it the most elaborate hoax in android history, like some websites say) or the real deal?
place your bet guys  |

I wonder if we will get the camera stuff, there's a LOT of new stuff there. The new gallery is nice too, though the HTC One has a nicer looking one.
I guess we wont be getting the finger air view as its most probably a hardware thing  |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 15 2013, 04:03 PM) This gives you a chance to show your middle finger to Samsung nah, that would make me an a-hole  so far the only thing I dont like about the note 2 in terms of hardware is the screen res, but I've already expected it since the unveiling of s3. In terms of software, I'm really hoping they fix the menu button animation lag, random transition animation lag, youtube bug and also the weird pinch to zoom animation in the gallery. But those are all small issues which is not gonna make me dump this phone. The only thing that might make me sell this phone is if it kills my 64G SD card |

QUOTE(alexng2208 @ Mar 15 2013, 04:12 PM) just another rant note 2 has pretty dull looking default wallpapers imo. With the s4 its all vibrant ones, most probably to show of the super saturated eye popping colours of the FHD AMOLED why put so many guai lou on the wallpaper of the S4? i don't want some random kid / adult face / body / limbs appearing on my screen put KAV actresses then its a different ballpark lar... prefer S3 and N2 with their nature inspired blue wallpapers speaking of which i am using htc one wallpapers LOL  oh yeah, Im with you on the fact that the s4 is a very good improvement when compared to the s3. Im not gonna submit to peer(or LYN-er) pressure |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 15 2013, 04:18 PM) I did feel that the feather wallpaper reminded me of feminine hygiene products, although I know they were trying to depict a quill .... they should have taken a nice picture of a classic gold plated quill. :ohgodwhy: now I'm gonna have to change my wallpaper as I cant "un-see" it anymore |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 15 2013, 11:58 PM) With all the talk about the fancy sensors in the S4, I tried to do some digging, as I recall seeing an ad for the sensor chip when Note 2 was launched. I don't understand why anandtech didn't do a hardware review for the s3/note what's as elaborate as the one they did for the iPhone 5 I don't know if anyone can help and recall as well, this will help to determine to what extent we can get the features of the S4 like heart rate monitor etc. I suspect all the stuff that needs bluetooth connectivity uses sensors on the bt device which gets fed into the app in the S4, so that can be ported. I found that Bosch provides stuff like this: http://www.bosch-sensortec.com/homepage/products_3/products Can't recall if it was Bosch or Broadcom or else we would know for sure the manufacturer of the sensorhub in our phone. |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 16 2013, 12:04 PM) Coz I get the feeling that Anand is a bit of a fanboi. oh god, I seriously hate Tomshardware for a few years now, bias to the max!!!! but then again, I do enjoy the thorough analysis Anand and the gang does for those Apple devices.Just recently they did an analysis on the latest revision of the Apple TV, when the only real change was a smaller fabrication process, and nothing else!  I know coz I've been following Anand since 1998. He's got some strongly held opinions on some stuff. Tomshardware was also a good site when Tom Pabst was running it. I hope they will do one for the S4...... |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 21 2013, 08:37 PM) TI has even more DRM, and I think they're exiting (exited?) the mobile CPU business. They are the most open among all the SOC manufacturers but yeah, there are a number of reasons which made them leave the mobile business i wonder if the OMAP 5 will ever be available commercially~ |

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 21 2013, 11:57 PM) I forget ... Didn't really read much on them outside of XDA lol. Other than the news that they are leaving the business.CM10.1 runs SO well on my friend's S2 g version,but another guy who has the non G version only used CM for one day lol, before getting back to Sammy ROM.... but I recall reading that they will bend over easily to slap on DRM for any Tom, Dck and Harry who wants it, coz "it's important to our customers".oh yes look at this

QUOTE(joytest @ Mar 22 2013, 09:24 AM) Removed oh noes, no more reports of note 2 transformed into nokia 3310 after this remember the disassembling of s4 link you shared a while back? The speaker grills of that phone is HUMONGOUS compared to what we have now( and I thought the note 2 had one real huge speaker) I wonder just how loud it will go?  waiting for GSMarena's sound test  as for me, the note 2 speaker has some depth but is only audible(for multimedia purposes) at 12/15, thanks to the rear placement of the speaker |

wow, sure missed a lot while I was away. Was in Kluang for the weekend, and it seems that Umobile is pretty good there. except for the housing area, signal only available outdoors lol.It doesn't connect straight away too, about 5 seconds before getting a connection.
