[Q] Is it possible to change phone processor? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

waiting for answers

Umm...what?

No, it's impossible.

You can't, and it would probably be cheaper to buy a new phone anyways

I'd say wait till intel gets more into it lol. We might see custom phone builders. That, might actually be not too far off.

The short answer is you wouldn't want to attempt it

Impossible

Not even worth the risk of tearing your phone apart.

If the new processor is pin-to-pin compatible to the one in your phone and you have the proper gear to make the change, everything can be possible in theory!

It is possible if the processors are pin-compatible (eg. the same family,same model scrapped from another pcb, different versions, unlocked versions etc...) but you'll need to reinstall the firmware/bootloader/system configurations... to run it

Question about overclocking your vibrant

So I've been wondering does keeping it oc at 1.2ghz damage anything to the phone? I've read that it can kill your device lifespan is that true? Thanks

hey rider...what you mean by that ..like when it hard freezes or what ?
I assume the vibrant can handle the 1.2ghz with ease?

Not exactly.
Some of the Vibrants just can't handle ANY overclocking at all, they just freeze, and reboot too much because your processor is being worked too hard when it can't do it.
If you have a normal, regular vibrant, then yeah you can such as me, i can overclock as much as i want, i've gone to 1.4 with no problems...
but some people do have the problem, and having that can burn the plastic in your phone (its happened to a few over the year)

Yep.
Mine can run at 1.4 EASY with no heating up at all (I was surprised).
I wish there was a 1.6+ kernel, so I could push this processor to the max.
To understand the limits of the Vibrant's processor it's important to understand processors in general.
The process of manufacturing for a processor is not perfect. You get pristine chips and below standard chips; so essentially no two processors are the same just like fingerprints. So what they do for quality control is stress test each one individually within a specific range. If it can handle 1Ghz up to 1.x then it passes, if it can't hit 1Ghz minimum then it's destroyed/recycled (or whatever numbers Samsung in this case felt were reasonable). It's the only way to ensure every device functions the same.
Now translate that into people's individual phone. In essence it's the luck of the draw. Did you get the perfect manufactured chip? Only way to tell is to over clock it and stress test it. Some people get the perfect one, and others get the ones that barely made the cut. It works the same for all electronics.
Hope this information helped.

Gs3 ram issues compared to Gs2

Hi,
What a pain this Gs3 is, if I'm playing for example Gta3 and go into the browser for a quick surf once I go back to the game the game has to reload all again, did not happen with Gs2. This is the same with other applications..

I think it runs low on RAM and puts it in the cashe, that is y it reloads again. Hope this helps.

New firmware / samsung version is RAM killer
I had this same issue after spending a grip of hours on the phone with the tech, we came up with either the new Samsung version/firmware update is causing the phone to eat up RAM like crazy or the EXTsdcard readers are failing. i have sent back 3 phones to Samsung and after everything a factory reset "KIND OF" did it.
HOWEVER
DO NOT update Samsung Software
DO NOT update Firmware
----------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure which one is causing the issue but i found less RAM being eaten up
i.e. i'm at about 800-900MB RAM rather then 1.3 - 1.4 GB RAM....
and thats all system processes, just did a fresh factory reset.
I hope this thread can be made sticky and get some attention from the dev's.
i have an unrooted Sprint gs3 and am hoping to find a solution that doesnt involve root
I am well aware of the developer options in the settings menu and have utilized all that i thought would help. if you find anything please repost

You could whitelist specific apps with JKay framework to avoid them being closed.
Works fine with the dialer and contracts as well...
|| Typed with my S4 Octa-Beast or my Note 10.1 ||
Soooo.
Samsung is trying to bring the s3's compatible with the s4 and all these new features = Death to your ram.
By the end I sent my device back had them ship me one directly and DID NOT accept the system update. Phones back to normal and all is well... except for that damn pesky system update notice but hey f it I can deal until they discover and fix it

Which phone?

Out of the 3:
Samsung galaxy ace
HTC desire C
Huawei ascend g300
Which one is the most fast and fluid and the most "future proof". Not in terms of software updates but in terms of which one would work just as fast in the future?
Thanks

I guess you should compare the phone specs, as mentioned out of 3 by visiting here : www.gsmarena.com
The Huawei has the best specs, but I'm interested in how they perform

It has got 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno 200 GPU and 512MB RAM, so the H/W seems legit. But its still stuck with Android 2.3. You may even want to check if there is active development going on here at xda for customizations or ROM upgrading.
EDIT: If you're interested you may look the features of Galaxy Ace 2 I8160, it looks pretty cool too and slightly more features than Huawei and cash difference maybe not that high too.
Well the Galaxy Ace has by far the best battery life and Samsung phones always have the best Rom customisation scene so you can always keep your OS looking fresh.

If it gets ICS, then Huawei is a :good: from me.
But don't consider going for Ace now. Not that I'm saying its a bad phone, but its hardware is outdated and no enough RAM. Rather considering Ace 2 or Ace Plus will be good.
Now I've completely changed my mind after looking at some monthly contracts. Don't think the Huawei is an option anymore. It's between these:
HTC one V
Sony arc s
Sony Xperia U
Anyone offer any guidance on which to go for or even go for another?

- Every Phone coming with minimum 1GHz Clock speed (Arc S = 1.4)
- Only Xperia U has secondary camera (video call) but don't have SD card slot, it means you only have 8GB of internal memory, out of which 4GB is only usable.
- All coming with 512MB RAM.
Anyways HTC One V is the latest out of three with default OS as ICS. Other Sony phones should get an ICS update. And rest, the decision is upto you for which model you should go for. If you don't consider about Secondary cam, then One V is a done deal, and also performance wise it should be fair good as the hardware is updated to 2012 (Bluetooth is v4.0).
Good Luck!
Basically, they're all good, right?
Would the extra 400MHz of the arc S make a huge difference? Or the dual core of the Xperia U?
Also (slightly off topic), would a dual core processor, clocked at 1GHz be superior to a single core processor clocked a 1.6GHz? What are the benefits of more processors?

If you're gonna buy a new device, I would not recommend to buy the models that have been released one year old or so. Maybe its personal choice, but I feel that way.
That extra 400MHz may make a difference if you tend to overclock the processor to run the games fine without lag or so. I'm not sure anyways. But you told you're only interested to keep it as Stock and not interested in modding or flashing custom ROMs. Anyways I guess 1GHz is fair enough as every phone nowadays is coming with that clock speed, so its likely that Games should support.
If my knowledge is true (it could be wrong too, lol) I guess a dual-core processor performs more than a single-core even if the single-core is clocked at 1.6GHz or so. You should seek some more advice about this, because I'm not sure about what I said. But seriously, you want to go for Xperia U? It doesn't have SD card slot, all you have is 4GB of usable internal memory for apps/games. If you're a type of person that installs almost everything from Play Store, it doesn't have enough room for it to fit within 4GB memory. Otherwise, its fair!

There is a custom rom which has some huawei sticks enabled, but it is mostly hit or miss. No other sticks than archos will work on stock.

What he said! and it needs SDE enabling and It's more a collection files than anything..... It was work I did earlier this year, it's a bit stale now. should still work tho.
First I'd try PPPWidget from the play store see if that works for you.... It less hassle that messing around with init file etc.
I wish they would develop a stick for us north Americans who have the g 9 tablets.

You can't without root. Other sticks work only on rooted devices.

Nvidia Gaming - Alternate to Chain fire?

Hi
So last thing I need / want to get my phone doing everything I need it to do is to handle the Nvidia side of gaming.
As I can't get Chain fire 3D to install on my device (gets me stuck in boot evry time) is there an alternative way?
I just want to be a Le to play Dark Meadow and Horn and see what else S3 owners are needlessly missing out on due to Nvidia getting all kinds of exclusivity.

Unfortunately this will not happen. Chainfire stated that with JB google rewrote the whole gpu driver framework and unless he puts himself into some heavy coding/reverse engineering theres no way to hookup the libraries that CF3d used in GB and ICS.
Hes lacking time and will to do so, since it would be a monster work.
So if you want to keep playing tegra games stay with ics, otherwise you may be interested into getting a nexus 7 which is cheap and maybe overclock it a bit.
Theres not much to do tbh, new tegra games arent working with CF3D anyway, saving a few older ones.
Its slowly begin to turn useless, only thing i will miss is probably SF4, now that capcom dropped the plans to port it to other android devices as well.
Also theres no point into getting a tegra 3 device just for those exclusives. At that point it would make sense to get a device such the neq ipod touch to play a huge library of games, tegra 3 ports as well (excluding the fact that some ios ports are lacking some tegra details or exclusives such Sumioni, but in turn you get a whole more).
Thats it, this is the current situation.
