Hey everyone,
Someone is offering to sell me a GSII that came from Hong Kong. I was wondering how to tell which chip processor it has and which one is better? He is leaving tomorrow and I need to decide quickly if I should get it. I currently have a Samsung Infuse.
Is the Exynos one better than the Nvidia one? And again, how can I find out witch one it has?
I looked in the frequently asked questions and saw something regarding this, but it did not completely answer my question.
Thanks for all the help!
Exynos is way better then the NVidia one... when you start the phone, exynos ones will have i9100 written on the bootscreen and the nvidia ones will have i9100g written,
Thanks for the reply! Ill be sure to check when i start it tomorrow. Do most GSM models come with the Exynos or the Nvidia? I read in the FAQ that the Hong Kong ones are Nvidia... is this true? Thanks again for all of the help!
Most of the sgs II come out now in asia seem to have nvidia right now .. i recently bought one for my friend which came with the nvidia chip on further enquire the seller said all his stock and current stock seem to have nvidia only... atleast that seems to be the case in india
Your best bet is to go to settings, about phone and see what model number it is (you want i9100 without anything on the end, its the best with the most support), and also run an android system info app from the market to double check.
It depends where in the world they come from, the i9100g is GSM and its a omap4, and as far as it being nvidia you will just have to check.

Hong Kong sells the exynos ones.

Not If they have flashed the i9100 bootloader. I flashed the i9100 bootloader on my i9100t and it now shows as i9100 on boot

use benchmark application like quadrant and check for system
information. Mali-mp will be there for exynos CPUs.
The nvidia one i.e. Tegra 2 devices are Galaxy SII Duos and Galaxy R. The Galaxy SII are either with Exynos (I9100) OR Ti OMAP 4 (I9100G)
SO which one do i have
It comes up with GT-I9100
is it better to have the nvidia version of the device?
Is there an app which you can tell what version you have please?
Thank you

The test just finished and i don't have the nvidia version one.
So not sure if that's a good thing or not

Hi guys,
Can you please suggest me a best android phone under 30,000/- (INR) price range.
Galaxy SII (friend got battery problem in 3months)
Sensation XE (Touch screen problems as some developers mentioned in some forums)
So, i need your reviews and more phones please...
you can get S2 as it is currently the best out there , but beware of the i9100g model which has Omap chipset and not good, Get I9100 International version with has Mali chipset.
Nexus S is also a good buy , as it already is running ICS officially from Google ,
If you can increase budget i would recommend Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Note ....

Thank you arsalan_qamar for the reply.
Based on my friend's review on SII i want to opt another brand not Samsung.
Hi!
My brother bought an Xperia S with these nfc tags, and now i wonder if my Galaxy s2 has nfc, because in my rom and in samsungs rom there is this nfc app hidden in system/app please help me figure out if my phone has it or not, is there an app to use to see if i has it or??
What model SGS2 do you have ? (Hint: look at the sticker on the phone under the battery or the box the phone came in).
is ur model i9100? and not any other variant?
Then u don't have NFC...

I have an I9100 but then why are the nfc application included in 9100 only roms??
No idea. But you don't have an NFC chip in that phone.
Mine does have nfc also my phone has the tags application but not much use for it in the uk though

There are other versions of the i9100 that have an NFC chip (i9100t or i9100g or something like that, I've forgotten exactly).
They must be able to run the same ROM, in which case a dev would rather produce a ROM for both models instead of producing 2 ROMs.
I9100P is the only I9100 model variant that has NFC out of the box. (not T or G)
There are other Galaxy SII variants that have it though - but just not any other I9100 models.

Yeah, like I said. I wasn't sure which only that there are other models that have it (that's why God invented Google). Mine doesn't so I'm not so concerned, meh.

My post was meant more for the OP, not a slight against you or anything.
There's an app named Z-Device Test in the Android Market; it can detect NFC hardware.
hello eveyone. I was in china and bought a galaxy note knock off.
Android Version 4.0.9
Release codename rel
Brand YUSU
hardware MT6573
Board e1108_V73_jbaol1g18
Dual sim.
Could anybody help me with rooting this phone please. i have had alook on the forums and it appears no one has one of these.
FYI a new version of this Phone is due for release towards the end of april.
it will have a 1.2GHZ processor dual sim and ICS
Try searching online. You probably won't have any luck posting here as probably no one owns those kind of knock off phones in this forum.
Out of curiosity though, did you know it was fake or did you buy it thinking that it was a Samsung galaxy note?

Rooting unofficial versions of the OS are tricky mainly when most knock offs don't really have the specs it says it does. And the OS is not one Google released
Try searching in russian forums like 4pda.ru & china-iphone.ru
it might help you.....
if you find an answer there post it here ...it will help others like you!!
Best of luck!!

As for the camera, it is 13mp rear one with ois capability and you can download some camera modes from Galaxy apps store such as rear cam selfie, etc.....
As for the front one it is 5 mp camera which is actually amazing (But to be honest I prefer the rear cam selfie mode)
As for the battery it is non removable with a capacity of 3300 mah which stays along the day (Note: This differs according to your use to the device as I am not a hardcore gamer and I do not play RR3)
As for heating, It barely heats on using mobile data but on gaming It heats up but it doesn't exceed about 39 or 40°C (Again as I said above it differs from one user to another) and as for ordinary use (when not playing games) it barely warms up (A back cover will make the warmth of the device barely sensed)

Well it depends on the region you live in:
If you live in India and your device was bought from India (For knowledge the Indian model is SM-A710FD) the upgrade will be available soon as I think (It may be available but I do not know so for reference you could go to the Galaxy A series page on xda fourms)
For more knowledge: I have a galaxy a7 6 which I upgraded to marshmallow and it carries the same Indian model number although it is not bought from India, that is because my device is middle eastern as in the middle east the firmware of SM-A710FD is the same as SM-A710F which had the marshmallow update released a week ago so I found one of the middle eastern firmwares of SM-A710F and downloaded it onto my SM-A710FD and it worked normally but this method won't work on your device if you are in India since the network bands in India is different than ours (middle eastern).
Conclusion: Do not try to install the marshmallow SM-A710F on SM-A710FD if you are in India due to different network bands.
Note: That's my conclusion of all what I had read about your issue since I also have SM-A710FD so I was worried if I had bricked my device until I knew that in middle east is different than in India.
Sorry for my many words

Hi, I am from India, I have SM-A710FD and I flashed the official MM ROM available for SM-A710F . No isses, everything is working fine in India. So whoever in India wants to flash SM-A710F MM, they can go ahead. Everything is just awesome.

Exactly.
This is an excellent device.
BTW, Have you flashed the Russian official MM or any thing else ?
Is dual sim and other things working flawlessly with root ? What about battery backup ?

Actually I use both 2 sims with MicroSD card. That`s why I`m asking.
A710FD is the only variant, which has 2 sim slots and a dedicated MicroSD card. And all the other variants has 2 slots - 1 is a sim slot and the other one is a Hybrid slot.

Nope.
A710FD has not got the Official MM yet. Though I don`t have any idea about OTA update, as mine is rooted with custom recovery. But I`ve searched and googled about this and don`t get any fruitful result yet.
But hopefully this one will get official MM shortly.
But really this is an excellent device. Excellent display, Battery Life, No Lag, Dual Sim with a dedicated Memory card slot ( one of the best dual sim phone right now).
So, this my short review of A710FD as a user.
Hope this will help you.

generic
There is no question the MDZ-18-AA can run a few cycles faster but that has nothing to do with Netflix.
No generic android box enjoys recognition and support by Netflix to produce streams higher than 480 resolution.
The MDZ-16-AB is in a unique category of Official AndroidTV devices which have the proper DRM licenses, and are authorized by Netflix to stream at 1080/4UHD resolution. All assuming you have suitable bandwidth, proper Netflix subscription level, and an output device that fully conforms to standards stipulated by Netflix.
Don't be overcome by specsmanship. For your stated requirement for Netflix in the android world, only the mdz-16-ab or another Officially blessed AndroidTV device like Nvixia Shield or Airtv box will suffice.

Its a beautiful device with almost no issues. but one big problem, its got Chinese OS. I want international ROM to be installed. Is there anything we can do for that?
Is there an official Int'l ROM for this device? Unofficial ROMS might be having a few bugs.

Start studying Chinese!!
Have you ever seen an official Xiaomi release of international rom for their boxes that are designed for Chinese home market? Of course not. Every box they have produced is for domestic consumption except for one......
There is a single model MDZ-16-AB that is produced for worldwide use outside PRC.
Both models are garbage, Xiaomi makes cheap Chinese junk that gets no product support. Buy an Nvidia Shield TV.
They trolled all their customers with the Mi Box pretending to release Nougat, now pretending to release Oreo. Meanwhile everyone is still stuck with a 2.5 year old OS.
