I'm pretty sure there are more ways to pacify a GF.......

Nothing personal against HTC, they used to be the top Windows Mobile phonemaker and I used to have one, and also lusted after the high end models. However after Android arrived, they seem to have dropped the ball.

I just don't like their current models that do not have expansion based on some flimsy excuse that doesn't even make sense.


And our friend is going to become a *pacifier* I'm sure you will be sniggering away Alex.

Piss protection for GN3???

....but we can't really vouch for the accuracy of Google Translate, when it returns something like this: "front panel urine resistance, finishing Material years plastic material point of view, should be the next generation note3,.....

Oh no..... MORE PLASTIC !!!!!!

Who would have thought it would happen???????

I think CM team will also promise you this:

Department of Paranoia:

Let us now go back to smoke signals and torch beacons atop towers.

....The reasoning behind all this is very simple. To the NSA Hacking would be preferable to Cracking. For e.g there are some encryptions that not even NSA would be able to crack using conventional methods. The AES 256 bit encryption would require the power of roughly 10 Million Suns to crack on current TDP. So how would a security agency like NSA get the information? Obviously not using the conventional channel. Pay a fortune to make a Genius find a Zero-Day in the encryption? Maybe. The most practical course of action would be to simply get the information before or after encryption/decryption, and that is exactly what Mr Blank is claiming the NSA does......

They are, but it seems there's some philosophical shift going on, I've only given it a cursory glance. The stance seemingly is build more APIs to hook stuff so you actually don't need root to do the stuff you need root for today.

Valid point, although I think it will be a long road.

BTW wad exactly were you trying to say with your 2nd sentence there? Sorry my Chinese comprehension not too good.

Oh haha I like Teh C too, I order that regularly. Cantonese is "min tim". I will also add evaporated milk to coffee I make in the office.

4.3 is continuing with the architectural changes started from 4.0.1

Your ex phone, or your ex's phone?

What phone is that btw, 1280 x 768 ? Nexus? Too squarish for one.

Finally, an end to stupidity???

Since everybody's gone/going for XZU (except for noobi3) here are some apps to keep you occupied till Note 3 arrives.

Time's 50 Best Android Apps for 2013

Must-have Android apps for newbies and enthusiasts alike

I haven't read up TRIM with regards to Android, but if it works like TRIM on SSDs, then it will only speed up your device IF you have filled up all your space with NON compressible stuff like mp3, mp4 or zips, this frees up the space properly so the eMMC chip can work like new again.

XZU IMHO has a flimsy feel due to the slimness, and its angular shape. Like baronic 's iphone 8 case

Otherwise it is a great device if purely for the screen, and maybe Stamina mode...

Do we really need eight core processors?
http://www.androidauthority.com/do-we-need...ht-core-250558/

With Samsung upgrading its Exynos 5 Octa to make use of all eight cores at once, and MediaTek recently announcing its own true eight core processor, it looks like octa-core processors could soon become the new norm in high end mobile devices. But do we really need all those cores?
.......
According to sources inside Taiwan’s handset supply chain, this is the main reason why handset manufacturers won’t be rushing out to build eight core devices with the current technology. They simply don’t see any performance or power consumption improvements over existing quad-core chips, yet are likely to be more expensive. Supposedly, quad-core devices will continue to be the mainstream over the next 1-2 years.

==============

Until they solve multithreading and cache coherency, I believe this will be the scenario for the next 1-2 years. You can of course get bragging rights but probably at the expense of SOT.

I don't know if it works on all Androids, or only on Nexus devices.

Thank u nice article. I like Anand's deep dives. See he is saying the same thing I've been saying all along. You hold a computer, not a phone. What's being done is exactly the same as what's done with pcs. I see nothing to accuse here coz it shows we can max the gpu to 533mhz safely. We all want max performance don't we.

El Reg is a master of hyperbole and alliteration especially the commentards that's why reading El Reg with a large salt shaker is always lots of fun.

Btw for n7105 owners.... 4.3.does not yet work for u
