      Anyways, it would be a bonus if we get it. Samsung might prefer to keep this technology for its newer devices I guess, so as to boost their market share.. :-) Its all a part of business..

But maybe samsung gives us a surprise by giving a kernel update as it is very well possible to be enabled by a kernel update.

        I can't say anything by now but most likely s4 won't get it due to a hardware problem in the chip.

          Samsung recently announced its Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) solution for the Exynos 5 Octa to fully maximize the benefits of the ARM® big.LITTLE™ technology. The HMP capability gives system-level designers the ability to develop solutions that deliver the right combination of high-performance and low-power to carry out tasks such as 3D gaming, complex augmented reality and advanced web browsing.
          It is being speculated that this technology solution can be deployed in the Exynos 5410 chipset used by this phone thru a software update, which would improve the performance of the processor by having all the eight cores to function together.
          Just wanted to ask the tech gurus here, that do they think its possible to do by a mere software update...?

                [deleted post]yeah , I am now commenting from my s4. our mid sems are going on and labs are open till 5 am in night as today is COMPUTER SCIENCE PAPER. I read them all but you don't understand. companies need not advise all things. sometimes you have to apply your brain. factory reset is like a clean install in which all the bugs and corrupted files get removed. after all, the firmware uodate is for fixing bugs and improving experience. I read it on xda developers forum thread by a recognised developer and it helped me making my phone heat up less. so why are you worried.....


                I use common sense. but you don't read them. this is USER opinions and reviews page. You should not come here and write B.S.

                NOW I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO FURTHER REPLY TO YOU. its of no use and is turning into a bad fight going nowhere. why do you say the same thing again and again. that sony htc samsung all don't say don't do ota. but kies is always better to it downloads whole firmware and hence all files are new and error free.

But that captures very low detail photos and have very less size like 400kb against over 3mb photos of genuine camera. hence this can't be considered a good replacement. but it has photo sphere. hence I keep it.

DONT YOU UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE THING. ITS WRITTEN OVER XDA. those devs advise this as it should be better. You don't know better than devs. and what's the problem in a simple factory reset. I backup my data on my sd card and whooom. I always tell either from my personal experiences or by reading over trusted sources. I don't want to be rude really but why you don't understand a simple thing. Are you high??? or are you troll!??? when you don't find anything you keep bashing on my age. atleast I am tought some ethics and atticates to bit bash on someone's age or sex or something personal.. Your comments are really immature and you tell me only 17 years. What proof do you have that you are older or I am 17 and not 27..... What problem do you have? ??


                      Please don't recomment on this... All people know here who is the abuser



                      Have a nice day.

                            I've done a quick search and found the following link for you:

                            http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40023

                            You are clearly not the only person being affected by that problem, there are LOTS of other people suffering like you. It definitely sounds like a bug in 4.2
                            Not much consolation, but at least now you know it isn't anything you've done.

                                I know the problems you've had connecting to the IBM network, and I don't think there will be a solution from what you say. Either the new modem.bin file on your phone is incompatable with the Firm's network, or vice versa, and they will never 'talk' to each other.

                                  After that I got few other updates. Second one I did via kies ..so tht was the full 1.6 GB clean update. Later rest all were few mb updates and did OTA.
                                  Am sure that first firmware update made the work network issue. I knw other guys who gave 4.2.2 has issues wit ibm network

                                    Was your Firmware update an OTA one or did you do it using Kies. I ask because 343Mb sounds like a minor update when you consider that a full Firmware upgrade is over 1.6Gb.
                                    Have you tried updating via Kies; there is a difference in size, believe me.

                                      i have read all those things on xda forums i told you many times but you dont even read my comments.

                                      may the mods remove a troll like you.

                                        You will find two new apps in the drawer - Camera and Gallery.

                                        Look for the new camera app, the icon is different to the default one.
