GT-I9192 User Review

I had S II i9100. Recently it stopped working. Now i'm looking for new mobile phone.
I feel phones with 5" displays too big. So I was considering to buy GT-I9192 which is dual sim. But when i check user reviews in the internet, I found some users were having signal drop issues.
I need to know whether that problem still exist and GT-I9192 is a good buy.

If you don't really need the dual sim functionality then consider the LTE variant (GT-I9195).
It seems to be more stable on data connections than the duos variant

Ya, Dual SIM is the main reason i chose it. I won't use LTE at all. CM 10 doesn't support i9192 ?

No. The Dual-sim implementation on such phones are custom-made by their manufacturers and is not a core component with original Android sources.
And there hasn't been anyone who has successfully implemented dual-sim support for the 9192 yet. (there was one user who mentioned that he was working on it and asked for willing testers but never got back since - you can check his development thread)
As such, it will be quite unlikely that the Dual-sim variant will get any CM love anytime soon.

Snapdragon or Exynos Version?

Hey all, I've decided to get a Tab s 10.5 however cant decide which CPU to go for, im not interested in LTE but it seems its the LTE version that has the snapdragon CPU. I live in the UK and on Samsungs official online store they sell both the WiFi version and LTE version with the Exynos CPU. However Carphone Warehouse are selling the LTE version with a "2.3ghz Processor" but it doesnt say Snapdragon although i assume it is. Its an extra £80 so is it worth it if i dont really need the 4G
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/tablet/samsung-gal-tab-s-10point5-4g?colourCode=BRONZE (click features then specifications)
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/comparison?prda=SM-T805NTSABTU&prdb=SM-T800NTSABTU (need to click "ALL" on the right hand side)
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/tablets/tab-s/SM-T805NTSABTU (need to scroll down and click more specs)
I dont know if those links will work or not

I think all Euro/Asian version are with Exynos, both LTE and WiFi only. So far I have not heard of anyone having the Snapdragon variant, my guess is that it may be limited only to some US operator variants or such.

Carphone warehouse 8.4 lte here on O2. It's Exynos, not snapdragon

Hmm so Carphone Warehouse have mis printed it? I suppose i could go in and ask to see the back of the box lol. If it turns out it is the snapdragon which is better? Itll mainly be used for youtube and browsing
Also i am going to tether it to my note 3 that has 4g but have never done it so dont know how it works. For me to utilise 4g on the tablet through my phone i take it ill need the LTE version?

It's all a bit confusing. Qualcomms website states that the Tab S LTE is powered by Snapdragon.

You will only need the lte version if you plan to use a sim card inside the tablet. If you are tethering to your phone then you will only need the wifi model.

As far as I know, Wifi only model does not come with ear speaker. I use it a lot as a phone, VoIP, replaced my phone at home, with Skype etc. Works great!

After doing a bit of research about it myself, recently. I have just found sellers with incorrect info about what they have for sale. All of them so far have the Exynos.
It is kind of funny though, the Samsung spec page has them listed as Exynos.

While the Qualcomm site says they are using their Snapdragon.

Yes confusing.

Supposedly only the Verizon LTE version uses the Snapdragon. Probably due to the modem integration.

I would normally open a new thread, however this post comes up on top in a Google search about the OP's original question which was never answered. Since this question was never really intended to be about whether the warehouse were really selling what they said they were or not. But instead about whether the Qualcomm CPU was worth the Exynos CPU on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S. The question is being asked again.

[Q] Tab S 8.4 as a phone. Which version?

I'm in the US and most of the US tablets have the cellphone functions disabled. I'm on AT&T Currently with a Huawei Mediapad X1 (LTE doesn't work, but HSPA+ seems decent enough)
It seems that if I get an international version the phone stuff is enabled, but then LTE probably won't work in the US?
Just looking for some direction as I'm only planning on buying the Tab S 8.4 if I can use it as my phone as well, I have no need to carry 2 devices.
I'm also finding it hard to tell which versions have the Snapdragon CPU. From what I can tell the CPU performance between Exynos and Snapdragon seems about the same, but the GPU performance of the Snapdragon seems much better. I do play a fair amount of games.
Thanks!

I am not great on the version numbers but T705 is the standard exynos 4G version.
I would say go for one where you can get a firmware for the UK or somewhere else.
My T805 (10.5" exynos 4G) has all the phone functions.

Is your T805 a US model?
So if I pickup a US LTE version can I just root it and add back the dialer app to make it work as a phone? Or do they lock out the phone functions some other way in the US?

Mine is a UK T805, but if it is actually that model, so a T705. It will be Exynos 4G. You got a few websites you are looking on that I can look at the models for you?

If I get an international one from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVUUM6A/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1QPS08K9FKKNF
That should work fine as a phone and the LTE ones should be snapdragon 800 equipped.
The issue is these international ones won't work with LTE bands in the US
So that's why i'm wondering if I get a US one (LTE bands will work in the US of course) can I somehow get the software on it to be able to use as a phone (As the US disables phone capability somehow)
My current phone is a Chinese LTE phone, the LTE does not work in the US, but I do get HSPA+ which is decent enough, It would just be nice to have US LTE and Phone working...

What network are you using, can check what Bands they are using?

I'm on AT&T, I already know the international LTE phones won't work on the AT&T LTE Bands. I'll just have to live with HSPA+

So you would be getting a T707A if you got the AT&T specific one. or a T705 for the international.
There are no T707A custom ROMs, only for rooting. I guess it will not have phone software Regardless of the version of software on samfirmware.
T705 will do 3G nicely, where I live I get HSPA+ and its quick - only get 4G in town.

Pretty much what I figured, I will just get the T705 international one and just live with HSPA+
From what I can tell all the T705 are snapdragon 800's, That Amazon link doesn't say what CPU it has. I'm pretty sure i'd rather have the snapdragon over the Exynos as the GPU appears to be way faster.

I think you will find the T705 is an exynos. Dont be fooled as with the intel modem they put exynos in their 4G versions.

Hmmm, Exynos CPU seems fast enough, its the GPU I keep hearing is severely lacking with such a high resolution.....

I haven't had issues myself - I have found it fast. Especially if you disable any crap that comes with it you don't need.

Ok, good to hear. It will get rooted pretty quickly and I will remove as much junk as I can...

Is the SGH-I467 LCD/Digitizer combo compatible with the one in GT-N5100 or GT-N5110?

Hello,
I know for sure GT-N5100 (3G) vs GT-N5110 (Wi-Fi only) have different LCD/Digitizer combo assembly.
Now AT&T's SGH-I467 is 4G LTE.
What really confuses me is a bunch of sellers on eBay are advertising their LCD/Digitizer assembly compatible with N5110 (Wi-Fi only) and SGH-I467 (4G LTE).
In theory Wi-Fi, 3G or LTE have nothing to do with the touch or display functions. If the one in N5100 is incompatible with the one in N5110, I can only imagine it's because the circuit layout is a bit different and the locations of connectors move a bit.
However, I would imagine an LTE circuit board (SGH-I467) would be more similar to a 3G one (N5100) than a Wi-Fi only one (N5110).
Thus, it really confuses me that an assembly is compatible with SGH-I467 (LTE) and N5110 (Wifi) but not with N5100 (3G).
It is possible these sellers are copying descriptions from each other. If a person makes a mistake, it becomes a common mistake.
Does anyone know for sure if I467 is compatible with N5100 or N5110?
Thanks

I think I have solved the mystery. The whole discussion of Wi-Fi only, 3G or 4G is IRRELEVANT. In fact, N5110 (Wi-Fi only) and I467 (4G) would share the same display but NOT with N5100 (3G) is because N5110 and I467 have only one hole for light sensor while N5100 has two holes for proximity sensor/light sensor. N5100 also has a long hole for earpiece while the other two do not. Why I467, a 4G device, doesn't have an earpiece while N5100, a 3G device, does is a mystery to me. I assume this is a business decision by AT&T since I467 is specifically built for AT&T.

Galaxy S20+ SM G986N

Hello to all,
i recently bought the Galaxy S20+ G986N, mine is a korean version!
Now I accidentally read that the 3G/4G and 5G networks are limited! --> I did not know before!
Is it possible to unlock the networks?
Thanks in advance and regards
Daniel
PS:
Is it possible to unlock the Dual Sim version here? Since this is a SingleSim!

Allegedly yes if you bought the phone sans mobile network, pop you sim inside and talk to someone for 10 minutes, on your local network that is, it should reset to a "domestic" flavor of networks... it can be checked via the secret menu *#60# or something like that (google is your friend if not), dough snapdragon has no issue whatsoever with working on any network, the network locked ones and usa specific ones are a different thing, - even those can be made to work.
I was not aware any of the s10 and s20 series come with just a single sim as one slot can be used for sdcard and a sim... Give it a shot, you already bought the phone anyways...

I also just mean the 5g net. I guess only the Sub6 n78 is activated here. The mmwave not at all!
The question is, does it have a software or hardware limitation? If software, which one can I install via odin?

In fact 5G limited not only by software, but by hardware too, every band protocol of 5G requires appropriate specific antenna to be installed in your device. Moreover, you can't flash anything except the firmware designed for N version (no U/U1 whatsoever options) because of boot-loader.

Thanks for your reply.
For mmwave you need hardware, but I guess for Sub6 it's only limited by sw?!?

5g supported bands are limited by hardware.
Korean models only support 5G n78.
Hope this helps

Many thanks. Of course it helps...is there's a possibility to unlock the other frequencies which aren't limited by hardware?

It's possible (4G bands) on some old phones (pre-835 era), but not so much these days though

Thanks for your reply. Not so much means, currently no possibility?
