I bougth Samsung Galaxy SII in November 2012. The specifications on various websites including samsung says that it has ARM Cortex A9 processor. Today I happened to use one device tool to check specifications and it shows ARMv7 (v7I). I then downloaded two more tools to confirm the same processor type(ARMv&(v7I).
Has samsung cheated us?
The tools I used are

you do understand that there are different modifications of the S2 all around the world?
like the international i9100 with A7, and the i9100 4G for Virgin Mobile (for example) with A9...
so don't bother about that...
Thanks for quick reply.Anyway. I came across this thread ruling out my concerns. Moderators can please lock this thread.

Hi all..
So as it's mentioned in the title, i have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830I will the Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 be compatible with my phone?? i can't see a difference but an "I" letter!
I think they are the same in specs and "i" stands for india.
That's an i or L?
If the letter is i (S5830i). This phone has diferent hardware and isn't compatible with S5830. So you can't use ROMs developed to S5830.
If the letter is L (S5830L). This phone has same hardware than S5830. The only difference is the bands (850/1900). The L means Latinamerica.
The S5830 has bands (900/2100). Generaly from Europe.
I doesn't stand for india. It has completely different hardware. You can't use Ace ROMS on I version.
S5830i and s5830 are different s5830 roms can brick s5830i.
Sorry for my bad engllish xD

^^ What he said.
As I understand it, the "i" version has the following differences (and probably more):
- It's chipset is totally different so using S5830 firmware / roms etc WILL cause problems, probably bricking (or so it's been said many times). The non "i" has the Qualcomm MSM7227 and the "i" model uses the Broadcom BCM21553
- It's cpu is different (Armv6 @ 832mhz) vs 800mhz for the non "i".
- Contrary to common belief, it DOES have a gpu (onboard the cpu die)
- The "i" model runs bluetooth v3, not 2.1 as with the non "i" version
- Judging by the specs available on the web, it has SLIGHTLY more ram (about 5mb)
- It has updated firmware / battery life / cpu usage improvements blah blah blah
I've read many threads where S5830 owners have flashed with S5830i firmware etc and have bricked their phone right off the bat.
They're basically the same phones, but also totally different on the insides.

I'm no expert but according to system-on-a-chip.findthebest.com, the Qualcomm MSM7227 was released in 2013, so how can the 5830 have it?

First thing, this thread is 2 years old.
Second, the original s5830 does have Qualcomm while s5830i has Broadcom.

No, Qualcomm S1 MSM7227 was available from 2009 and Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 have it too. See this link,
Qualcomm MSM7227

Hi to all. Im having problem with my unit called Samsung GT-I9050 bought from China Mobile. The phone is originally made by Samsung and its not a clone or what so ever, but I think it is dedicatedly made for the Chinese people because of some additional Chinese apps and i cannot understand it because I'm not a Chinese. At first, I've noticed that the phone doesn't have g-apps, then when i try to register it to google in account and sync, there is no google only Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Then, after a head-aching sleepless google search, Luckily, I found a Chinese forum sites(TDfans.com) tutorial to install google service framework and i manage to register to my google account and install g-apps, I manage to root my phone too.(thanks to google translate) My main reason posting a thread here is I want to install CWM recovery and i want to flash custom roms. Sadly, the said chinese forum site do not offer those things I need. By the way my phone is:
Samsung GT-I9050
CPU: TI OMAP 4430 Dual Core @ 1Ghz
NEON Capable
Processor : ARMv7 rev 3 (v7l)
GPU PowerVR SGX 540 Single Core
Hardware: JAGUAR Samsung Board
OS: GB 2.3.6
Kernel complied on "SEP-53" workstation

Thanks in advance!
and More POWER XDA!!!

Hi all.
I am going to buy a Samsung Galaxy SIII. But the problem is that there are lot of fake versions around the market.
So my question is, Is there any particular method/secret code to identify original Samsung Galaxy SIII vs Clone/ Fake Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Thanks.
Price is the first giveaway, but suggest you grab a photo of the insides with back cover off so you can compare.
Check imei on phone and box
Check firmware version, kernel etc in settings/about phone.
Check memory capacity in settings/storage
If it's cheap it's either fake/stolen/has problems
Use 3 button combo to boot into recovery and check it is stock 3e recovery
Check download mode and system status etc.......that's all I can think of now, will edit if more comes to mind.
Obviously check all hardware, camera, sound, gyro if you can, etc
With this apk you can be sure, if your SGS III original or not:
Galaxy SIII Identity v1.0.3
or here:
GS III Identity : Real or Fake
Regards

I would suggest you to wait for s4 or go for any other model which has 2GB RAM....buying S3 at this point of time is not a good idea.

Thanks all for the replies.. :good::good::good:
Got the following output from the apk you provided. I don't know maybe I'm just being paranoid but isn't the CPU supposed to be quad core arm v9 or something like that. Saw this one here is a dual core arm v7. I was able to put it in download mode and installed the JB 4.1.2 Stock rom with ease.
Reason for my worry is that this phone is very slow, my Galaxy S2 performed better than this even when I installed the Official Jellybean ROM. PLEASE HELP ME

i already have samsung galaxy core but i have read the thread that say my phone can upgrade to android 4.4 kitkat. how to upgrade the android version for my phone...need help.....
I don’t know the device, and I don't think you read that correctly. But if you did, you'd just have to wait. Check the article again, maybe it has a date.

No official update
Android 4.4 KitKat can be run on lower end devices such as those with 512MB of RAM, overall galaxy core will also come under this lower end device category that's why you might have read this.. However, Samsung will probably NOT release any further updates, though we always have XDA, check for cynogenmod 11 for your device. It'll probably be at a development stage but you can have the initial experience.. :good::good:
Hello every1, the thing is that according to what ive read today Android doesn't fully supports the Dual Core processors right now. So i would like to know if there will be new version of Android one day with full dual core support would i be able to just upgrade the android on my phone or not?

I love the tablet, bought two of the 4GB/64GB for $149 each directly from Samsung site.
Well worth the money, I got them for gaming and watching videos, web surfing, really great tablets.
Can this tablet be rooted ?

Impreza thank you for making me rest.....I've been surfing online finding answers if that tablet can be rooted...please let me know if you guys found more info..thank you
Bought this thinking it was an upgrade from my Galaxy tab a 8.0 but since it's one ui core it's missing many features. Trying to trade it in now but it's past the 15 days. There's no smart view to mirror to any tv easily, theres no network file manager in my files (can't access G drive or any others).
Just make sure you know what you're buying. It's not lite because of being smaller than A7, it's a stripped down OS and the features can't be installed afterwards (have tried many apks). I didn't want a big tablet, wanted a mid size tablet with upgraded CPU.

I agree with that. If you are sure you know what you're buying, the experience of the A7 Lite isn't bad. One UI Core is the same stripped down OS in the regular A7 (Snapdragon 662) and in the A7 Lite. CPU works very fluid if you tweak some settings (default One UI animations are awfully slow). Battery lasts A LOT (8,5-9 hours SOT). Smart View was removed and changed in all One UI devices with the upgrade to Android 11/One UI 3.0 (regular and Core), and it was replaced with Google Cast native screen mirroring (ergo Chromecast).
Use Solid Explorer or Amaze if you want to access network file places. It works well on my side.
Despite being a Mediatek tablet, you wont't find anything MTK-related in the tablet. Samsung has its software very well masked. And I think that, in Helio P22T, Mediatek vulnerabilities have been fixed with security monthly patches.

I guess that MTK-su has been fixed on Android 11... But I think that I could boot something with DSU Loader, which is available...

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I successfully rooted the tablet using the same method for the Lite as the regular A7 using THIS GUIDE. Obviously it tripped Knox but I needed it rooted for my use case. One note is that when you download the stock firmware with an application like Samsung Firmware Downloader, make sure you choose the correct Model and Region. These can be found in the settings on the tablet.
Is it possible to enable Google Discover for default launcher?
I bought Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE SM-T225 3/32GB and it works quite nice. Small and good device. Would be cool to see on it clean Android or LineageOS (fingers crossed). There is not too many ~8 inch tablets today with the latest Android version.

I've been working on porting TWRP for AOSP Android 11 to this device but have run into some roadblocks.
I currently have TWRP running but touch is not working and I can't seem to get Data R/W with the current tools available. It's possible it's an error in my build or maybe a workflow problem.
If anyone out there with more experience is doing the same or wants to help me sort some things out, please let me know.
I purchased the SM-T225 LTE 4/64GB model, a good device, but there was a problem on the latest T225XXU1AUH5 & UI3 firmware, specifically with a modem... after the end of the call, the mobile network disappears, and after rebooting Baseband Unknown Flashing does not help, only resetting the data helps, but before the next call... The device had Root rights, but is now installed stock firmware and blocked the bootloader, but the problem remains... At the same time, if you install the old modem UDA,UE3,UF2 , it works without problems... Has anyone encountered anything like this?
My only disappointment is that knox is included. I came from tab A 8.0 2019 which has no knox

I have a SM-T225 LTE 4 / 64Gb model. 64-bit model, 3 / 32Gb variant is the same in parameters, except for the amount of memory ...

Bought one earlier today for a second screen for browsing while I'm gaming on the laptop. Got way more than I expected for such a cheap price. Debloated and tweaked, I really can't complain.
