Hi everybody!
Little question appeared in my head- have anybody heard of replacement of CPU in the g2 or other htc models? Is ot possible?

Anything is possible with enough tools and knowledge

well, i understand that.
but maybe somebody from xda tryed this?
Never heard of it actually attempted but the question has been posed before.
Are you asking about replacing it with the same SOC that came with the G2 or a different one?

i think a different one, as an idea of maximizing productivity
Afaik, it hasn't been attempted before. The problem is it's not like the socket-based cpu's in pc's. These are system on chip, meaning everything is on them; cpu, gpu, everything, as far as I understand it. In a pc, as you know, these are separate parts that can be readily changed. Plus, no one really knows if the other hardware would be compatible. Then after all that, you need to get the software to work. It's a hell of a job.

Well I think it would theoretically be possible to change the CPU if they are pin compatible, which happens often with CPUs from a same series.
BUT
Where would you buy a cpu? what do you think it would cost?
and how would you assemble it on the mainboard, those modern IC's have very small pins/balls underneath it, which you can't just solder!
I was thinking after reading this yesterday and posting. Since we would be dealing with a SOC the baseband radio would be integrated into it - which means *if* this could be accomplished, it would give us the freedom to literally use a phone on any carrier we wanted will full data access speeds i.e. use the G2 on AT&T '4G'.
Obviously the 'easiest' method would be to use the SOC out of a Desire Z since everything would be the same except for the radio - thus eliminating software issues. Now all we need is a way to deal with the extreme micro scale of all the pins and such.
Now to switch out to say, a Tegra 2 - I doubt the pins match and that goes for any dual core. To go to something like an 8xXX series (are those dual or single?), now that might be possible but as far as single cores go the G2 has IMO the best out there. Sure there are some slightly upgraded 7xXX series processors out there but nothing worth the headache this would bring.

Its absolutely identical in every way. The radio amplifiers are NOT in the SOC, so this would NOT change the frequency. In addition, wouldn't it be easier to just swap phones than to rip them both apart to trade identical components first?

The 8xxx series is identical. In fact, the 7230 ***IS AN*** 8255, its just **DOWNCLOCKED**. They changed the model id number ONLY.
An 8260 would DEFINITELY NOT be pin compatible, so the limit is 8255, which is pointless.
Well I agree it would be easier to just switch phones, albeit cheaper I was just answering his hypothetical question.
I always figured being a SOC the radio would be itegrated into that, guess that remote purpose for switching out the SOC is out the window.

As for doing it you would need a micro balling and reflowing station

Hi everyone,
I have an I9305 S3 and I see that the Sprint S3 community is a lot more "alive" than the i9305's.
Will it be harmful for my I9305 to flash one of the Sprint's custom roms?
Thanks ahead.
If you want a paperweight sure.
But in all seriousness, no do not only flash roms for your phone/carrier.

The reason is that the misc partition of the international version is in the same location as the boot partition of the Sprint version....so when you flash an international rom on a Sprint phone then you you're deleting the bootloader and its game over
As for the other way around, theres another partition that lines up with a different one between the two (cant remember which it is right now) but most of the partitions are essential for just having your phone boot, so when you override it with info that should NOT be in that partition (because it should be in another) you get a brick
No actually he is right different things will flash in different partitions making it completely useless. The kernel in the wrong area, the bootloader in another. The device will be unable to locate the appropriate programming to do anything. Thus a paperweight.

But your response was incorrect with the question. Quad core and dual core have nothing to do with the reason why you can't flash international roms and vis versa.
If the partition's were the same then it wouldn't matter.

Question answered
Noob here who has decided on Samsung note 10.1 for my first tablet ... but which one? Looking for fastest performance and longevity. Does the added mobility of 4G degrade performance during WiFi operation? ... are there disadvantages other than related costs?
tx in advance!
I will advice the 4G version because it have the Snap800 like processor and have the 4G that is better and faster like 3G.
Finally, the Snap800 will have more support from dev then the 3G with the Exynos by Sammy
The trade-off will be reduced battery life most likely if traveling in weak LTE areas.
I'm leaning towards SD800, especially after what I saw in the picture
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Thank you for your replies. Looks like only the 4G version has the faster SnapDragon800. Ok that's settled.
Between32 and64, will the 64 remain faster as the memory folk
fills up or is it all the same in respect to performance?
Tx for answering my dumb questions!

I wouldn't say that the sd is faster just yet, there are no real benchmarks out there just yet for the new octo core 5420, based on the few cryptic leaks they seem to think that the new octo might be a tiny bit faster. Im not going to jump to any conclusions just yet, I would preffer the sd800 on my device if only for the cyanogenmod support
Will you be able to use this device as a phone? As in does it have a dialer that you can use with a regular SIM like the old one?
I'm getting the one with the Snapdragon processor in it.
Sammy promised that they will include HMP (Heterogeneous Multi Processing) in their 5xxx processors . Ie; they will make s4,note3 and note 10.1 to real octa core processors through a software upgrade (say kernel upgrade)...so guess , which will have higher performance , sd or exynos? ? ? ?
And also exynos version will have wolfson audio DAC in it , so exynos defeats sd in audio performance

I would welcome an LTE model on Verizon except it will be limited to 16GB of storage and I just won't accept that. You need 32GB or higher internal storage for apps not medial content that is what the microsd is for.

I think I read that the phone version (which won't be sold by US cellular companies) is limited to 2G. I would love to hear differently.

Whoa..that's completely unacceptable (I'm Verizon). Agree on 32 min. Where can I find spex on Verizon's version?
The spec sheet Mashari_F posted helps differentiate among variants but I'm still not clear.
I'll likely have to wait until later in Nov. for my own good ... see how users are feeling about SD VS. OCTA and see what Verizon puts out vs. Wifi.
Tx!
16GB should be fine, I have tons of apps and games installed on my 16GB old note 10
and still have 4-5GB left, if you are planning on installing huge games like nova 3 (I think it takes up 2.2GB) then you might want to consider the 32GB instead
if you root and have a nice size microsd handy, you really wont have to worry about it
So, if you want the best CPU, you have to buy the version with a cell radio in it? That's kinda dorky, since I can just tether to my phone. But I guess if I want the best CPU I gotta buy the 4G (that I won't use).

Yes, sure.
Because Snap800 support LTE.
And Snap800 version will be better then Exynos
See the S4, the S600 have more support that Exynos Octa...
We dont know which is more powerful yet, this is the new octa core, not the old one
Wait for benchmarks from the new one to see

I won't see bench, because they don't have a lot of sense.
Snap800 will be supportated because devs know the architecture and they always have the source code...
Isn't the same for the Exynos...
It's like S3 for the Cyano
So, ATM, Snap > Exynos

Samsung released the kernel source for the Exynos version a few days ago (sammobile.com/2013/09/20/samsung-releases-kernel-source-for-galaxy-note-10-1-2014-edition). I'm not very familiar with all the lingo, so please enlighten me: Is this not (all) the source code that devs need to do their thing?
Can someone explain why someone buys an expensive note 10.1 only to install cyanogenmod and lose all the exclusive features? (Spen, multiwindow, ir blaster, and some other things)
Just buy a nexus 10 or wait for the new one if you are going to do that

The big problem there isn't the source code, this was an older problem, but the structure of the partition and the core.
If a dev will build a kernel, the source are here.
But, trust me, snap have a source code more easy, it's quadcore, and we know all about this.

guys, i was looking for a new device and came to note 4, but isee there 2 versions Snapdragon and Exynos
these benchmarks are old and since we are like nearly a year further since release in my country witch should i get of the 2
most ppl voted for the Exynos ver on this forum but i dont go read like 200+ posts,
what i want to do wit hthe device
gaming,
watching anime 10bit h264 / h265 mkv/flac
custom firmware something like archidroid witch i used on s3
help me out abit , the on paper reviews dont say everything its more about true phone power, stability, laggless, ofc speed to
as far as ive seen reviews , snapdragon is best in gpu depending stuff while Exynos does the multi process/task stuff but those revies are from 2014 dunno if anything has changed with the firmwares and so
Either one is okay. Depends on your carrier I would assume.
carries is kpn, but they are simlock free , kpn 4g with speed of 225Mbit for data, but that wasnt my question , i wanted to know witch is beter for feature , Snapdragon or Exynos both have cons and ups
snapdragon
more energy save
faster gpu
cons
slower load time eventhough it is 2.7ghz quad core
Exynos
faster multitask
faster loading aps
cons
faster battery drain
slower gpu
so i want ot make the right choice
Be careful my bro got the s6 with exynos, we rooted it and went looking for new roms but only found 2 and there isn't likely to be more because of the exynos

from what i have readed most ppl on xda voted for exynos on the poll yet no customs , i realy liked the customs like archidroid, it was fast , smooth, easy to use and install/setup and i was hoping there is one for the note 4 to but for me its a kind of difficult choice , so snapdragon has more custom roms faster gpu but its slower in performance and not 64bit ready, and the exynos is faster , slower gpu and less custom roms
the note4 is a difficult choice for me atm it seems

it was not directed at this version only, im from eu and i dont know what version i will get so im asking users how and what so i dont take the wrong turn, the version here probaly would be an internantional version like the s3 i had and i dont know what version the note 4 will be that i get, also have no clue how to spot what version is in box
While I am no expert on the difference between domestic and international phones for the US, from what I understand you will want to stick with exynos. The snapdragons are specific to the networks in the US. Will and do they work internationally? Yes. However, I believe you will run into issues with data with snapdragon phones internationally. I may be wrong on this so anyone can feel free to correct me but from what I understand, a note 4 with exynos will be better suited to the carriers internationally.
This is a US carrier section so many of us are not up on this info since we fairly rarely run into this. The general section for the note 4 will have more of an international following I believe.

I understand it wasn't directed at this varient alone. But you won't get many responses to a request for comparisons when almost no one has an exynos here. That's why I provided a link to the forums where there are many people from both sides available to ask.

i know i am partial to the snapdragon versions in all cases, the snapdragons include the available hardware for the fm radios, and even if the fm radio app is not included, u can use nextradio or even the spirit fm radio app from here at xda... and the snapdragons have always been easier to root/unlock booloader, etc., if u ask me... and the snapdragons just seem cooler to me, in a vibe sort of way...
Hey all,
I have the option of buying the phone straight from AT&T or getting an international unlocked version. I know that the Exynos processor is better for performance for the most part, but how are the radio's/performance/battery life in comparison to the SD820? I live right by NYC so I have full LTE everywhere I go right now. I'm not worried about VoLTE if that's an issue, I very rarely use the phone to call.
Thanks guys!

If the Note 7 is like the GS7 Edge, then the Exynos version will have better battery life. Right now, no one really knows.
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
One of the few reasons to go with a carrier phone is because they optimize the radios for their networks. S-820 devices use Qualcomm's X12 LTE modem which supports LTE-U. Exynos devices use Samsung Shannon 935 modem. Both support LTE category 11/12. They're the same modems used in the S7-series so look at their forums. Any happiness or unhappiness using either on AT&T would be the same for the Note7.
Im curious as well either getting the international version or Tmobiles version. I see the Note 5 international roms have alot more options and the processor is going to be better on the international variant.
