About the reviews from Anandtech on 3DMark and HTC


3DMark
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6876/microso...vices-in-3dmark

In the 3DMark test, it is strange that the Mali400 in the Note2 does extremely well in the physics test, and fairly well in the pixel test, while it sucks in the polygon/geometry test. I wonder what kind of design tradeoff did ARM or Samsung make to end up with this result?

Or else, as pointed out in the comments, it could be due to the activation of less than all graphics/cpu cores. It doesn't make sense to have such low polygon counts, as modern games spit out more polygons and textures than physics calculations, and the chip designers know this.

I also suspect that, since 3DMark has a DirectX heritage, that may explain why the Surface Pro scores extremely well since it runs on DirectX.

any sifus want to chime in?


and the HTC one numbers:

I get the feeling there is some selective benchmarking here coz you see the Note 2 in a few tests, while it is nowhere to be seen elsewhere, especially in the battery test charts. Brian Klug is obsessed enough to indicate that there is a barely visible (ie under high magnification only) gap at the speaker grille. He seems to ooze "I'm a fanboi" unashamedly.

Otherwise, it is a pretty good writeup as expected of an Anandtech article.

Anyone flash the S4 S Translator?

there's rumor going around that Qualcomm has been "working" with futuremark with this 3Dmark release

thanks for the link.

actually i never turn driving mode on. one day it just on and off randomly..really annoying.

is buggy
yet use google translate better (got offline already )

Buggy ya. Not flashing then..

Does anyone here read articles/stories on their stock browser? If so what is ur batt comsumption. I want to know if theres way to reduce battery consumption when viewing long articles/stories.

Now I always use full wipe before flashing. How about HTC one without micro sd slot. Full wipe and everything gone.how to flash ?

A selection of cases (iFace) saw it was quite popular.

A selection of cute cases:

no need to wipe internal sd to flash actually... wiping system and data sufficient already..

i changed mine for around RM159 i think...


changed it at samsung service centre...

Samsung doesnt sell samsung galaxy note 2 charger? I've been to alot of samsung store and they showed a regular samsung charger with output of 5V 1.0A. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 charger is 5V 2.0A. Any idea where can I find the charger?

And may I know the current output of extended battery kit with charger dock? If 2.0A, I'll go straight buy it

Why full wipe all the time? Wipe data, system and internal sd is different. Normally wipe data is sufficient. Wipe system only if face problems. Wipe internal sd have never done before and i dun see any need to. As long as u dun wipe internal sd can flash rom mah.

Yeah like others said factory reset/wipe data is enough.

But if you REALLY want to wipe the internal storage, I guess u can push the rom into the internal storage with adb

Instead of extended battery, why not consider a power bank? YooBao 11,200 mAh has a 2A output

+1 , YB 11200mAH is good you can look for brotan

I'm looking for the charger... not yoobao power bank

Look for fruitie post. She recommended a good charger. Not ori but works very well with long cable.

I believe he is looking for a charger.

Read the earlier posts and added many useful bits to various sections. See Changelog in Post 2 (moved there now).

I think this item is no longer available, as it seemed to be on sale only for a limited time.
