[Q] How do I know if my HTC One S has S3 or S4 processor???

I'm well aware that there are two different versions and I know you cant flash the ROMS for one on the other, but how can I tell which device I have? I ran CPU Spy and the top used speed is 1512Mhz. Does that clearly translate into the S4?
I searched around and I cant find a clear answer.
Thanks in advance,
PT

Download quadrant check system info look at max and min frequency if its 1512 u got s4

Simple, you can't root a One S with a S3 yet.

Is it big difference between S3 and S4? I've bought One S and now I find out that I got S3 :-/ Its 1.7GHz,but its older and it has got lower score in Quadrant than S4.

S3 ain't all that

No........ Your country only sells the S3 model; the one that is not as good. What you get is what you get. If you try to get it replaced, you will still get an S3, if they even replace it for no reason...

T-Mobile only sell s4 chips

Qualcomm improved the S4 a lot! Its probably 1.5x faster than Qualcomm S3. In fact the Dual Core S4 is so impressive, it gives serious competition to the Quad Core Exynos used in the Galaxy S3.

Don't galaxy s3 use the same chips as one s ?

Try to act dumb, be like GSM arena (or any other website) show the specs as S4. It just might work.

The US Versions of Galaxy S3 use the Qualcomm S4 because Samsung can't/won't make Exynos compatible radios that can handle 4G speeds.
The international Versions of Galaxy S3 use the Quad Core Exynos which is faster in some things compared to the Qualcomm S4.

Do I have an S3?
I specifically bought my S3 wanting to have an S3 (i.e., I clarified that it said 1.5 GHz CPU). Now quadrant check gives the following infos, which led me to think that I have a S3 instead. Can someone please confirm whether it is an S3 or S4?
CPU
Name: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7I)
Current freq: 1674 MHz
Max freq: 1674 MHz
Min freq: 192 MHz
COres: 2
Architecture: 7
GogoMIPS: 13.52
Hardware: villec2
Revision: 4

Your device is S3

i am interested in buying one s, but i am confused with the whole s3/s4 issue.
can someone from both sides confirm the following?
s4 box mentions "1.5ghz dual core",
s3 box mentions "dual core"
is it true? i am actually trying to find out a way to recognize the s4 device, without having to open the box...
ps. forgive me if it has already been mentioned. plz point me to the correct topic otherwise. regards.

On my One S box its specifically says "Snapdragon S4 1.5 dual-core processor"

MTK6577 phones?

Hi All,
Been seeing a lot of china phones running the MTK6577 + SGX531 and was wondering if anyone had any real performance figures on any of these devices, particularly those with screen resolutions greater than 800x480.
There are a lot of knock-off phones running this however there are some china-branded phones sporting them as well.
Ive seen some threads surrounding haipai devices that are running this SoC, however they only seem to have 512MB RAM and WVGA screens (albeit the screens are quite large physically).
I was wondering if there were any phones running MTK6577 with 1GB RAM and a 960x540 or better yet a 1280x720 screen?
I understand that they are cheap and would like to know if they represent 'bang-for-buck' at all?

Well depends who makes it ...xiaomi is great got the mi-1 going to get the two ... look at fastcardtech.com for xiaomi mi-2
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I have the Haipai x710d MTK6577, And so far i love it, Rooted with a custom rom, Super fast and lots of features 2gb of usable space, With the custom rom it fixes the SD card problem so you are able to save all your data and app on it now. very speedy, great screen color yeah its not a super amoled or anything but it looks great to me, It depends on opinion about the screen resolution and the way it looks. Games play great. Battery life is awesome. Camera is awesome. ICS 4.0.9, For me and this is my first second Chinese phone, And so far i love it. recommend to anyone.

I am interested in knowing the basics:
How is the phone signal, volume and clarity?
How is the GPS lock? Is it fast enough (under 10 seconds)? Is it usable for google navigation?
How is the camera? Fast enough with good pictures?

I have been looking at the HaiPai however the low screen resolution is a bit unfortunate.
Was wondering if you had run Antutu on it at all?

we need an a chinese phone section.
Just got my Amoi n820, trying to figure out how to root it.
Anyway Antutu score is about 5400+ ? its actually a pretty decent performer

It appears that there is an S3 knock-off that has a 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen which is pretty decent.
I have also found a "Hero H9500+" which is essentially a Zopo ZP900 but with only 512MB RAM and a 5.0MP camera (8.0MP would be better but ahh well).
Still for less than $200 it has a 5.3" QHD 960x540 screen. Havent been able to find any video demonstrations of it however.
It would be awesome to have a 5"+ phone with 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen. I think we will see them soonish.
I understand that MediaTek are bringing out a quad-core (i think its MTK6585?) later this year which should see quad-core china phones boom. The GPU is supposed to be the SGX544 which is used in TI OMAP 4 amongst other things.

You can root it using TSsparky

Can some one please tell me which is the better processor b/w MTK6575 and MTK6577? Thanks.

MTK6575 - single core
MTK6577 - dual core
The MTK6577 is better.

how can i root this Hero H9500+?

Try getting the HDC Galaxy S3 Original, Plus, or Pro. They are almost perfect Samsung Galaxy S3 copies and I believe they have a 1.2ghz dual core processor in there and an 8 megapixel camera. I just don't know if there is a way to root it or install custom ROMs on it.

Be very careful. Many shops advertise 1,2 Ghz but they do send you a 1.0 Ghz phone. Afaik there is no 1.2 Ghz variant around.
I own one of the "1.2ghz" MTK 6577 and the fact that they have a sticker with "quadcore CPU" on it should tell you something about how the chinese advertise their products.
That being said i knew that i am buying a 1.0 GHZ dualcore phone and i am very happy with it. It's really fast and powerful enough to do some gaming if one likes to.
It's the Tinji I9300 S3 clone 4,7 inch. It's getting sold under all sorts of names aparrently.

[Q] How to recognize z520 and z560

Hello,
A friend of mine liked my phone and wants the exact same one. I have the S4 (z520) and in my country all the operators sell the S3 version - z560. The dealer that sold me mine is out of stock now...
We found a re-seller that sells the S4 version, a 100 euro cheaper in stock package with all the stuff, but it seems a bit shady to me.
So the question is how can I check if it really is the S4 or S3 version if it has the stock android? I can compare with mine,still no JB.
Will System->hardware tell any different then mine's Dual core?

The box will tell you. The S3 got 1.7Ghz CPU, while the S4 has 1.5Ghz.
Also, the box also shows the model, z520 in the S4's case.
To check within the phone you need an app that shows the system info (mainly cpu clock). If its 1.5Ghz = S4 and if its 1.7Ghz = S3.
I dont think theres any way to check the cpu clock on the phone without an app for it.

I suggest you go to ROM threads on both S3 and S4 One S. I bet the Devs wld put in the Build of your phone for the ROMS.
Like the guy above me said, you can check ur CPU clock speed by installing a CPU app or just by settings etc

It doesn't make sense... Neither 1.5 or 1.7. I know that it is villeC2 because bootloader states it and I have viperC2 Rom installed, the one compatible C2 variant.

[Q] Buying a used One S - admin mode check?

I will be buying a used One S this week, and would to to check if the hardware and software are ok while handling the phone in person.
I had a Samsung Wave and it was possible to go in admin menu with a special code and test the hardware + firmware.
Is it possible to do this with the one s / android?
I have heard of 1 bug with the one s, where the capacitive keys go a little crazy because of some GSM radios, is it possible to verify this?
Thanks!

It should say on the box. z520e is S4, z560e is S3.
A quick benchmark with Antutu should also say if it is 1.5GHz (S4) or 1.7GHz (S3)

The menu varies largely - some say dual core, some say 1.5GHz Dual Core, some say 1.7GHz Dual core. No good way to tell. Easiest way open antutu benchmark and check the info tab at the bottom of the screen. Adreno 225 means S4, Adreno 220 means S3.

i'm back :}

had MotoQ, BlackBerry Storm, iPhones starting from the 3G... 2 years or so ago i ventured and used a HTC One X for about 3 months.. mainly due to battery life (and the Apple eco system in my house) i went back to iOS and got rid of the HTC. currently have the iPhone 5s.. purchased a HTC One S (this time i am keeping iPhone.. might be switching from time to time), should receive HTC One S on this wednesday, kinda anxious.

Make sure you get the S4 CPU ver of One S. I can't believe people still buying One S, it is a two years old phone though the phone is still good. One X is very bad battery life because of Nvidia T3 CPU.
