[Q] does it use the msm8974AB or msm8274AB cpu? - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i read to much like always every where.
but its from january so its old. just want to be sure.
it uses the 8974aB? cause that has a faster GPU and RAM
and i can't find awners on XDA and there site says msm8974ab.

[Q] Is Android 2.2 on galaxy like Nexus one? (because of Nexus CPU type)

Hi guys..
I sad Google developed 2.2 to improve snapdragon cpu and becuase of that the benchmarks shows 3X faster cpu on nexus,
will work 2.2 on galaxy like nexus ? or not for SGS cpu!
at all what you think about power of CPU/GPU in SGS on 2.2 ?
Is nexus cpu better than galaxy on Android 2.2 ?
The Galaxy's CPU/GPU is the best on the market right now and with 2.2 it should fix a lot of software problems with the SGS.
Actually can't wait for 2.2, and it's released around about my birthday!
When is your birthday
22nd September mate. You can buy me a Galaxy S as a spare if you want
well I have to see it first.
Guess Samsung finds a way to **** up the phone again i'm sure of that.

If froyo on the SGS sucks, then the chefs in here will cut it open and make it run properly and it won't matter what the FW was like when samsung sent it out. Also, TouchWiz is fine, even if it does have a dumb name.
I have been worried about this. The sgs line and droid line do not get over 15 in linpack with 2.2. I dont see the same increase in speed as I do with snapdragon based phones. I have read this is due to the snapdragon having 128 bit vs 64 bit something but cant find the forum post about this. The sgs line with 2.1 is still faster then a 2.2 snapdragon based phone but it must have the lag fix installed. Without the lag fix it is slower for sure. I will try to find the forum post about 128bit vs 64bit.

As far as the difference between the two benchmarks, they are written to benchmark two different things. Linpack can run almost entirely within the SIMD/NEON portion of the cpu thereby showing off the enhancements made by Qualcomm. Quadrant stresses the entire core showing off total system performance showing that only in certain situations will Snapdragon outperform any other Arm based core.

From what I've seen and read, the 2.2 builds for the Galaxy S do NOT have a JIT compiler enabled which explains the lower scores. The N1 got the huge CPU boost from having JIT enabled. That doesn't explain the Droid X's scores, but then again I haven't read enough about 2.2 running on the DX to see if it has JIT installed.
What're you think? I'll buy SGS 2.1 or wait for SGS 2.2 ?
It's very important to buy most powerfull phone.
I like Nexuse cus it's tested sucssasfuly in Android 2.2 and I'm gono love SGS if it will be better than nexus in 2.2.

I would wait at this time before purchasing an SGS if that's your concern.
Out of the box, the current phone/software is laggy and disappointing. If you're willing to hack it with some of the various fixes found here (I prefer samset with mimocan kernel), then you won't be unhappy with the phone, but there's no guarantee that Samsung will get FroYo right, and that if they do get it wrong that the devs here will be able to bring you a hot, non-laggy, super FroYo ROM before there's better, or at least comparable hardware done right by the manufacturer available.
That's no reflection on the devs here at all, I'm just thinking that Samsung won't release the firmware until the end of September, the devs will need a couple of weeks to make magic at least, and so now we're well into October. By October, the SGS will be a six month old phone. Six months is a very long time in the Android hardware world, and we'll likely see a landslide of new phones with faster CPU, maybe even dual-cores in the fall for the holiday season. The only thing the SGS will have over other phones at that point is the Super AMOLED screen by Samsung, since they're holding it all to themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if Moto or HTC try to kang the iPhone display tech for newer models if they can't get Super AMOLED for themselves.
In the android world it is nearly impossible to but a device that won't be out of date within at most a year and sometimes within 6 months.
Having said that, I don't see anything that will topple the sgs quite that soon. Although there is talk of dual core snap dragons, there has been nothing announced yet, and indeed the two new Desire handsets are still on the same chip.
I wouldn't expect to see anything that will have more raw power than the sgs until at least mid 2011. If there was anything closer than that it'd already be getting hyped.
If you keep looking at what is just over the horizon then you won't end up ever getting one, because there always seems to be something new out in a few months time. The sgs isn't prefect, but it beats the hell it of most anything that you'll be able to buy this year.
My humble opinion of course, but I think that if you want top end hardware, the sgs will serve you very well.

Based on your responses so far, I'd just get an iPhone 4 and be done with it.
There are a lot of people here and elsewhere who are perfectly happy with the device. I for one haven't installed the lag fix and I don't experience any lags, except for the situations below:
1. I'm trying to do something while there are several apps being installed/downloaded from the marketplace in the background. I think this will be resolved with the dualcore next gen CPU's.
2. Using LauncherPro, for all that is good and nice on this earth, I do not know why it took me 3 months before the option to change the shortcut on its drawer was shown to me. Imagine that, 3 months just to show the option to add a shortcut. Jeezus. I click on add shortcut and it took 3 months. Someone shoot me. I'm using ADW now and am very happy.

The hummingbird core is widely recognized to be faster than the snapdragon core. Benchmarks do not tell you everything. Reference:
You might think that the Hummingbird doesn’t stand a chance against Qualcomm’s custom-built monster, but Samsung isn’t prepared to throw in the towel. In response to Snapdragon, they hired Intrinsity, a semiconductor company specializing in tweaking processor logic design, to customize the Cortex-A8 in the Hummingbird to perform certain binary functions using significantly less instructions than normal. Samsung estimates that 20% of the Hummingbird’s functions are affected, and of those, on average 25-50% less instructions are needed to complete each task. Overall, the processor can perform tasks 5-10% more quickly while handling the same 2 instructions per clock cycle as an unmodified ARM Cortex-A8 processor, and Samsung states it outperforms all other processors on the market (a statement seemingly aimed at Qualcomm).

You can't really say froyo is over hyped, I mean its free, and beyond that its an incremental upgrade.
I don't see why anyone would be staying on eclair once official froyo drops, and you can't deny that it will bring a performance boost.
Now I doubt it will bring quite as much of a boost as it gave to the N1 until we get a few months of development to really get it running sweetly, but all the same its still not over hyped if I ask me.
With optimized ROMs and whatever fixes we need (cuz samsung WILL break something) I figure the sgs will shred the N1's new scores. I recon we'll see around 3k in quadrant.
Considering how far ahead of almost everything a lag fixed non-stock-rom sgs is now, we'll see something really special once froyo starts rocking our crotches.

Why powerfull phone? ok i'll tell u:
Because I don't like to buy an expensive phone (like SGS) that power is lesser than a chipper phone (like N1) !
Because I'd rather a phone without stalling (lagging) to play games and running big applications. I will very gray if i'll se lagging/stalling...
Because I need a phone with a good support (it's enough, don't need mazing support). a phone with a clear (alive or nice) Future

Droid Gone Wonky After 1.1ghz overclock

I just overclocked my droid using the tazkern 1.1 Besides being miserably slower than before when I boot up, It doesn't even give me the option to go up to 1.1 ghz. Any suggestions?
suggestion:
and don't take this wrongly in any way..
Stop overclocking so much!! It's a damn phone, not a gaming rig. That and also you really risk of damaging of your CPU and other internals...
My Milestone is running stock. It stays cool and is fast enough. This is after i tried some weeks running it on 800 Mhz. It gets too hot and that also during conversations.
I get where you're coming from but still, I was just getting a lil tired of the the thing lagging every time i opened the app drawer or market. I actually fiddled with it a little after I posted that and got it to run perfectly. And I think Im fixing to try out a 1.2ghz kernel just to see what happens. So far there's been no overheating or crashing.
ECC is kicking in and making your phone slower. Use a lower clock, your phone doesn't support it.
Actually its running quite smoothly so far. Ive been running it for around 30 mins now and its super fats, smooth, and appears stable. Ive tested it on youtube tho and its getting pretty warm.
Mines runs all day, every day at 1.2ghz. The quirks are not from the overclock. Thbey were always there.
Thats what Im on now. I think Im using the slayher 1.2ghz kernel.
Droid or Milestone?
If Droid, you're in the wrong forum. This is the Milestone one.
I have mine at 720mhz overclocked and it works fine,i dont have any heat problems,i always check the battery tempeture via SETCPU app,always is at 30C to 32C,not more than 32C!!!
I love it more tha my iphone
I think people need to learn the risks of overclocking.
You may say its stable and running fine and "just a little warm" but you are infact destroying your CPU.
If you touched your computer case and "it was a little warm" you would be worried.
Consistently hot systems aren't expected to last anywhere near as long a cooler systems. Thermal fatigue in silicon results in cracks in transistors, and transistor mounting failures, in particular. Of course, just one transistor failure on a complex system such as a motherboard or graphics card can result in the entire system failing. And a replacement board being an appropriate fix.

For computer CPUs, but you get the idea.
Oh dont worry. I turn my phone by the time it burstsinto flames. And btw i apologize but i did post this in the wrong forum. Oops.
droid doesnt equal milestone. development is different due to locked kernel / bootloader..
but saying that. i use 1.2ghz with 70 vsel, or 1ghz with 60 vsel.
its a little lower voltage, but i assume it saves battery.
might not be stable for you, but i've been running it for 8 days straight now..
i dont use a lower voltage cuz i heard it damages the cpu. i stay within safe tested voltages

Besides. i've had my milestone ever since it came out. I've been overclocking it since it became an option and my phone has never died.

The OMAP 3430 is a 65nm chip while the 3630 is a 45nm chip. Newer smaller manufacturing processes = cooler chips. They are NOT the same chips by far.
Furthermore, you realize that many memory chips are made equally. Then the memory manufacturers go and test out different batches. The ones that clock higher can be stamped as higher clocking or faster timing memory. They may be made the same, but usually the better made batches go to the higher end parts. The same goes when Intel makes CPUs. The crappy CPUs with some problems become Celerons. It might've been a Core 2 Duo or i7 or whatever, but Intel goes and disables cores/cuts off memory if it was not a good batch.
You can't look at models and go "well that CPU can do it, why can't mine."
If people have knowledge of CPU overclocking here where you understand that people look for certain serials/batches of Core i7s for best overclockability. Even though to Intel they all meet i7 930 specifications, there's still separation within the i7 930 crowd. Certain batches are better. Maybe not good enough to be an i7 950, but still better than the worst i7 930.
The other question is: What is stability? How do YOU determine what is stable? apps not crashing? In the overclocking world we run Linpack tests for like 24 hours before calling computers stable. Just because you can boot into Windows or Android or play Angry Birds for 3 hours doesn't mean much. It doesn't mean you don't suffer from bugs from overclocking. It's hard to say unless you do a full stress test on your CPU.
The 3600 OMAP is clearly superior to the 3400 series, but I do think that the latter is more overclockable.
I've had no overheating issues at 900MHz, 56 vsel, don't feel the need for higher frequency.
Will, this is all starting to go over my head. I'll just sit in the corner n twiddle my thumbs.
Just think of the 3600 as a 2010 Intel i7 chip and the 3400 as last year's i7 CPU...same platform and architecture but smaller manufacturing process and (probably) a bit faster at the same clock speeds, with the same features.

I was just trying to get at the same idea
I might have been too exact in my words but this is what i meant
and something fyi is that the OC capability of both chips are "capped" at 1.2ghz ... its just dangerous and unstable after that.
heat wise ? I'm inclined to believe that heavy wifi / 3g usage provides a higher source of heat than our petty oc-ing. Our cpus are clearly capable of this. true you make a good point. smaller architecture = cooler and less power. but the heat is probably out of the question. i use setcpu to display my temp. it never goes past the rated temperature. in fact it always stays at around 35c
when using wifi/3g on the other hand.. no need to say. the fact that these chips have no thermal barrier between them and the fact that the heat is able to be felt on the surface on your phone... in such close proximity to the radio chips, the cpu is not going to be heated by oc but by these other factors.
its safe to say you should lower your 3g / wifi usage to reduce thermal stress on your phone
stability wise... I'm not the one to stress test or w.e for long periods of time, but the link i've attached to my previous post shows a lot of people who have.
maybe you should check that out. I'm just here to relay information.
I have mine overclocked to 800 and it stable and quicker than stock its not all cpu its the amount of free memory you have at any given time
here is another very interesting page. this time regarding the droid
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/20406-max-temp-while-overclocking-12.html
be aware that a lot of the temperatures are in fahrenheit.
highest temps of these guys average around 40-50 Celsius, way below the rated temp
Actually, mine has been running smooth this past week or so with no abnormal heat or crashes.

[Q] Streak 7 CPU Clock rate?

Soon, I am getting a Wi-Fi only Streak 7. I have read on several sites that, despite having a Tegra 2, the CPU is clocked to 800mhz per core, to save battery life, rather than 1ghz.
I recall having an old Palm that came underclocked, and hearing that it used the "throwaway" CPUs. When a batch of CPU cores was not able to perform during the QA testing, they would sell it to Palm, who underclocked it. Basically, overclocking to the max clock rate of the processor would be more than it was intended to handle, similar to overclocking a Tegra 2 higher than the rated 1ghz.
Before I set 1ghz as my constant clock rate, I would like to make sure that the CPU is a good Tegra 2, and not a "throwaway" that was underclocked to prevent damage.
Basically, my question is, can the processor on the Streak 7 safely run as fast as another device running the Tegra 2 processor, or are these the processors that didn't make it into another device because they failed QA testing? I plan on setting 1ghz for most uses, but overclocking to 1.2 or so for emulators and certain games.
Thank you
bump. Same question here. I have the wifi version also and it has been getting a little laggy.
Well me personally, I have been running at 1Ghz for several weeks. Seems fine, gets warm when I play specific games. But for random work and internet usage it runs great.
Thats a myth. Cpu is 1ghz for both cores.. You can downclock if u wish though I doubt its gonna make.much diff to battery

I ran it at 800MHz for a bit to see if it would help conserve battery. It didn't, but it also didn't negatively affect performance. The Tegra2 is really a great SoC.

So, the Streak 7 is NOT underclocked from the factory?
And on a related note, I've heard some programs allow you to overclock and underclock without a custom kernel. Which of these, if any, work on the Streak 7? I can undo rooting it, but I'd rather not flash over it with a custom kernel, in case I need to send it in for repair.'
EDIT: If you search for "Dell Streak 7 800mhz", you find a few reviews stating that Dell underclocked it. Figured I should show the link, so people don't think I'm crazy. I've also found an article saying that it auto-downclocks, running 1ghz as needed, 800mhz when not neeed. That seems to make more sense.
It absolutely is not underclocked by default tho by the design of the core it does not run at full tilt all the time and drops back to 216mhz when idle -goolge cpufreq for info bout that

Well, what you're running is a Jelly Bean, which is NOT officially supported by Galaxy Mini's hardware.
Also, if you think your phone is already fast, then DON'T believe benchmark. I never choose benchmark for testing phone's smoothness, instead I use the ROM around 1 week, then see how does it responds. If it's faster, then I would say the ROM is good.

Let's get 64-bit Android to our Note 4 Exynos via a Kickstarter-campaign

Edit: Campaign Link Available: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/166919191/we-want-64-bit-android-on-our-note-4-and-tab-s2-97
Hi all,
As the proud owner of a Note 4, I am a digital enthusiast looking to facilitate my life as much as possible. I expect high performance, faultless experience and plenty of organisational functionalities.
Having chosen deliberately for the Exynos-version, I am also tech savvy and willing to pay an extra buck for a machine that will do the extra mile, both in speed and distance.
You can imagine my disappointment when I figured out that the Exynos 5433-version ships with a 32-bit Android, without a 64-bit update in sight. My extra buck down the drain, stuck with a 2 year long feeling of having paid a vast sum of money for an ‘old’ device.
After having browsed the fora and blog posts, I’ve seen I’m not the only one. Realising that this is ‘only’ a matter of code, I can not help but feeling we can solve this! (Samsung, if not, then this will have been my last Samsung device).
I've launched a kickstarter campaign where I want to find 1000 users, backing the campaign with €1 for 2 goals:
1) Gather all interested Note 4 and Tab S2 9.7 owners who want a 64-bit operating system to pressure Samsung with a high amount of discontent customers to release the bootloader source code..
2) Gather money to donate to a recognised developer that can make a 64-bit bootloader, once Samsung has released the bootloader source code.
With this tread, I’d like to ask those interested to join and spread the word! Together, we can win this
You can find the project on kickstarter.com by searching with "64 bit". You'll see the "we want android 64 bit for our exynos "- project.
I am sure that together, we can win this!

Sure why not, I really like to have this as it will make porting easier as I think
Is 64bit even worth it ? I thought it is worth when you have at least 4gb of ram
Finally someone just said wat I feel Iam completely supporting a man for 2 yearsnow and Iam waiting For someone in xda to succeed in activating 64 bit exynos note 4 , Don't giveup .
So what will that goal achieve? the figure showing that the phone is 64bit? Does it provide tangible improvements, will the phone perform better and consume less battery. To my knowledge it will do no such thing and I can only imagine how many men hours it will take to port all the libraries, kernel, bootloader, I fail to see the benefits.

The discussion whether 64 bit brings extra performance or not has been held on several other places, on XDA and elsewhere. I'd like to try to keep this post about the campaign as clean as possible to enthusiast as many as possible.
We will take advantage of ARMv8 architecture, both for CPU and GPU. So there will be a performance gain. How big remains to be proven. Besides this It's a matter of principle.

Im pretty sure there wont be any change. You allready have advantage of armv8( it has nothing to do with 64 bit) im using s6 edge and performance difference is very minimal even with overclocked cpu. I bet there wont be even 1% performance change but ram usage will be higher around 15% percent cuz of 64 bit so i hope note 4 sticks with 32 bit.

Then what about the benchmark scores ?
& overall performance ?
Whatever it may be , I think it should be available because exynos 5433 is 64bit supported.

Which benchmark scores? Antutu has the biggest difference and its a bull**** benchmark anyway. And gpu is more powerful on 7420. Other benchmarks just about frequency difference 200 mhz overclock performance gain and its not that big for example 5433 get 1300/4600 on geekbench 7420 gets around 1500/5200. Thats all. About daily usage its just same for me i even tried it now app launchs etc almost same web pages load almost same.

Nah its not about oc.even if u can oc your cpu now to the same freq on 7420 the score wouldn't be the same. Cuz 7420 have diffrent CPU*architecture . and 7420 will be better because it would have the latest CPU*architecture. Soo yeah

Not its just same cpu architecture both cortex a57 only difference is in production 1 is 20 nm 1 is 14 nm. And it doesnt effect performance directly it just gives you a thermal space so they can overclock cpu to 2.1 ghz like in 7420 basically you cant overclock 5433 to 2.1 its just too much for it in 20 nm.
Btw we are talking about 64 bit not cpus itself. And whatever i use both of them anyway and i dont think 7420 worths anything 2015 is just waste for me imho.

The revision. And btw they quietly improve things up u didnt know so yea

Well peak performance doesnt effected by small differences even s810 with same cores (a57) gives same peak performance but sustainable performance can change between all of them. Again its not a soc thread im just commenting about 64 bit.
im in. I support you.

Does it matter? If people are willing to pay for it and developers are willing to do the work, I don't see any harm in it. Always better to have 64-bit support.
