does anyone know where the qualcomm cpu in the hero stacks up against other cpus found it different phones?
the new nokia n8 is said to have a 680mhz arm 11 cpu, just want to find out how it stacks up against the hero's cpu clocked at 691mhz.
tried googling comparisons but came up empty handed.
thanks
What it's the list of the better GPS Chipset in MTK Processors.
In the past I start in Android with the FG8, a Mediatek MTK6516 416 MHz processor and with that phone I have the best GPS ever!
I can connect in only 20 second to more than 12 satelites.
Them, I have 3 phone, all with MTK6573, 650MHz+350MHz and had the worst GPS ever!
Now, I'm waiting my new phone (a Huawei) with MTK6577 (and I don't know the quality it's the GPS).
But why MTK? because I need dual-sim phones and Qualcomm don't have a lot of phone dual-sim.
So my question it's: anyone have or know a list of the best GPS Chipsets? I use a lot of offline maps and I don't have connection (wifi-3g) most part of the time)
Thanks for all for read this
I fear the difference you experienced has more to do with the other components than the MTK chipset.
Especially shape, quality and placement of the antenna is probably the big difference. Though calibration data of the antenna in the radio firmware may also matter (on the 6516 you had to take care not to loose the calibration data when you formatted flash)
And of course, the antenna is determined by the builder, and how cheap/hasty they are making the phone. For example, despite your experience, my MT6516 HD9 was not soo good at all. My MT6575 A750 is better, but not as good as my specialized Garmin GPSMAN60GS, which has a 3 cubic cm quad helix antenna. You'll never see those in a cell phone.
I suspect the actualy GPS sub-chip is pretty much the same in all modern Mediatek chips. After all, MTK was originally a GPS-only chipmaker, and have been making those for 10 years or so, so so they fixed all the early errors.
PS: There is one 'GPS' change I hope they will put on the new MT6589 chip: GLONAS support. But to repeat, I am sure all of 16, 73, 75, 77 have the same GPS sub-chip
Thanks

I don't know that details, thanks a lot for the information. I must see and search my next phone be an MTK6589 or better. I ear about Glonas of Qualcomm but I must use a dual-sim phone and Qualcomm has little amount of diversity in dual-sim smartphones.
Thanks again!
No that's not what I meant. It was just an extra remark.
In fact, as they might (so I hope) add a new GPS sub-chip in the MT6589, thats when you could see improvements, or new early adoption mistakes.
The MT6577 is a safe bet, its GPS subchip has been stable for years now and I am sure it's GPS is as good as the MT6516 was, provided the phone builder did not mess up the antenna.
My hope for Glonass is only a hope. What is known about the MT6589 is that it will be somewhat faster than the MT6577 (4 core rather then 2 core, but only A7 cores, not A9), but a lot more energy efficient (again A7 cores rather then A9)
You could wait for the MT6589, it will be a few more months, but the first models may be priced too high (shopkeepers will want to milk it) so reasonable prices may be only in March/April or so.
Thanks for the info again! I do not know that.
I think I must wait Best regards!!
(I hope too the MT6589 have a better GPS)

Indeed, at least since MT65x3 the sub-chip used is MT6620, which integrates WLAN, BT, GPS and FM into a single chip.

Thanks for this post it explains why my mtk6575 i phone clone gets a lock much quicker than my 6577 s3 clone clearly the attenna is placed properly in the 6575 it slightly bugs me because they both have the same GPS chip as you said.

Well..the news isn't good. I've searched on xda as well as on google but there's no support available for this phone either officially or unofficially. I'd suggest you to get rid of it and buy a new device from a well known brand like Samsung, Sony, HTC etc.

Yes, thank you, also in the near future I plan to do. But even so, I would like it gained a aletrantivu some, like Evolveo and the like.
So, it's time to upgrade again. I have 2 main options - The Elephone P7000 or the Oneplus One. The Elephone has an MTK 6752 at 1.7GHz and 3GB of single channel, 800MHz Ram. The OPO has a Snapdragon 800 series processor, with 3GB of dual channel ram at 933 MHz. In an average, day-to-day scenario, realistically, will there be any noticeable difference in the fluidity of the devices? They're both 4G, too, so will general internet browsing feel the same speed, or will both devices feel about the same speeds as each other? Thanks for any insights
I would definitely get the Oneplus One. I never heard of Elephone. The Oneplus One is a known device and therefore it's better supported by developers and I suppose it's easier to find repair parts as well. Also, Snapdragon processors are generally better performing as well.
Hi.
Recently I found this old tablet and thought that maybe there is a way to make it work a little better. So here is my question:
Is it possible to replace internal storage ic with a one of bigger capacity and is it possible to do the same thing with RAM chip? And if it is possible what should I do and look out for?
I'm a veteran in soldering and working with electronics so it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm unfamiliar with devices like mobile phones and tablets. Reballing isn't an issue either.
Here is some data regarding the hardware:
RAM chip: ELPIDA B8132b3pp-1D-F
Memory chip: THGBMBG6D1KBAIL
Processor: cortex a9
Thanks in advance
