Samsung S8 Restricted Calls - General Questions and Answers

All of a sudden all my calls are coming in showing Restricted. I didn't change anything and if they leave a voicemail I call them back and have them check their phone to see if they did anything and they didn't. What is going on?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S III

The news broke that the samsung galaxy s iii will be arriving to all major us carriers in June. here is the article on the verge.
The official announcement confirms that it will launch with Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5 GHz dual core CPU and 2GB of internal RAM vs the Exynos 4212(5250 need to verify which version they used) 1.4 GHz Quad-core and 1 GB of internal RAM
Can someone that knows what they are talking about tell me if there's a significant difference between the two specs I presented and which one will be faster vs battery consumption?
I am a T-Mobile customer, and looks like the SGSIII is said to come with HSPA+ with 42Mbps+, while the international version will be HSPA+ with 21Mbps+, on paper it is double the speed, what is the difference, is there sufficient coverage? I looked at the map for T-Mobile Data and they only show the strength of signal and don't differentiate the two.
so far here's the only real answer i've gotten on this topic?? anyone agrees?? disagrees? why?

Let me start by saying I'm not a pro when it comes to electronics but I do have an understanding on the subject.
The thing to realize about these processors, and most other processors available today, is that the s4 is based on the cortex a15 while the tegra 3 along with the new Samsung are based on the a9. The a15, at the same Hz and die size is 40% faster than the a9.
S4 = dual core Cortex A15 @ 1.5GHz - 28NM
Tegra3 = quad core Cortex A9 @ 1.5GHz - 40NM
Exynos 4(Samsung) = quad core Cortex A9 @ 1.5GHz - 32NM
S4 so far, in theory, is 40% faster per core, but having two less. Individual apps will run faster unless they utilize all four cores on the tegra3. Because the s4 has a smaller die size, it will consume less energy per core.
The actual technology behind these chips that the manufacturers come up with will also affect the performance output, but the general idea is there. Hope that helps to understand a little better how the two chips will differ in performance.

sorry if i'm posting in wrong section, I thought of posting it in the GSIII general forum, but only international versions available, I'll get biased answers, my guess is also the SII users at least recent ones won't be upgrading, and I know the HTC One users will just try to make it look like their phone is better. I need an unbiased opinion. lol

Exynos 5 Octa and Snapdragon 800

Does anyone else think that the new-generation Exynos SoC will support 802.11ac and LTE-A? Or playing back 1080p video at 60 fps and 2k quality at 30 fps? These are features which were never really discussed about the chipset itself.
The Snapdragon 800 was confirmed to have compatibility and capability of all of the aforementioned. It sounds as if the Snapdragon 800 series will be the superior chipset, while the Exynos Octa will likely provide better power efficiency in some regard. It would be pretty disappointing if the Galaxy S IV got stuck with a Snapdragon 600 processor, given the date it's likely going to be pushed out on. It might make me consider the Note this time around.
i really hope all these rumors are fake, samsung should use Exynos on there flagship Galaxy S line ! if not the octa, maybe the Exynos 5 Quad Core 1.8-2.0GHz !
All the Snapdragon 600 happens to be is a mid-tear SoC, which improves upon the same GPU and performance of the S4 Pro. Real A15 architectures should blow this chipset out of the water. People seem to think that what they see now is good. But when the Snapdragon 800 and other A15-based chips start making their debut, this will feel dated quickly in the coming months.

clock-per-clock a15 is just 15% faster than krait, dont think that there's so much differences between the two.
they are both really solid performers and the batle is all on the maximum clock/power required rateo.
The SD800 will also feature Quick Charge 2.0, which is supposed to charge your battery 75% faster than other SoC chipsets without that same function. SD600 doesn't feature that either. I'm pretty sure if you seen the initial Tegra 4 benchmarks (based off of real A15 architecture) - they wipe the floor with the HTC One's SD600. Being 75% increased in performance over the Snapdragon S4 Pro (last year's best mobile SoC), the SD800 should bring comparatively the same or better results than the T4 mentioned. That's kind of going to be a disappointment if the S IV ends up with a SD600 and no Exynos 5 Quad/Octa, at least.

Phone "Galaxy Note 4" come-screen 5.7-inch QHD accurately

Phone "Galaxy Note 4" come-screen 5.7-inch and accurately QHD ... got site SamMobile on follow-up a new company Samsung, got confirmed information that Samsung will unveil smartphone "Galaxy Note 4" Galaxy Note 4 and will screen with a measurement of 5.7 inches and a display resolution of QHD or 2560 × 1440 pixels.
This was earlier rumors had talked about that Samsung will not change in the size of the screen on the previous release a phone Galaxy Note 3 except for screen resolution will be stronger than ever before, while also talked about the rumors that there may be a copy of the Tablet Phone curved screen.
It is expected that beats inside the phone Galaxy Note 4 processor Exynos 5433 in some markets, while will processor Snapdragon 805 in other markets, in addition to a sensor, UV on the front, and is associated with Rear Camera accurately 16 megapixel with Sticky optical, and other front 2-megapixel accuratel

I've got a Note 2 and I'd love to get my hands on a Note 4 when it gets released.
Is it likely that the Note 4 will come with a Snapdragon 805 or an Exynos 5433? Especially since the Exynos 5433 will come with an integrated LTE chip, thus reducing the need for a Snapdragon to power LTE regions. Also does the Exynos 5433 have low-power audio for always listening ("Ok Google")? I know Snapdragons 800+ have it but I don't think the Exynos up to now do, at least to work with Google Now.

[IDEA]S4 120fps 720p/60fps 1080/4k 24-30fps

Hello, I saw alot of people trying to archieve those Resolutions and framerates ([email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]) and they couldn't mainly becouse of the processing power of the device, a guy could do those resolutions and framerates with the S4 i9506 variant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711239 and I recently discovered this S4 kernel that allows you to overclock ur S4 i9505 from 1.9 up to 2.3Ghz, wich would equal the i9506's processor, I don't know if there are any changes in the instructions per cycle of those 2 processors.
Is it possible to do that with the i9505 variant overclocked to 2.3ghz?
tl;dr : S4 i9506 has 2.3ghz, S4 i9505 can be overclocked from 1.9 to 2.3, can we archieve THIS type of mods?
It is not all about CPU power. The ISP (Image Signal Processor) matters too. And Snapdragon 600 & Exynos 5410 can't handle it.

Can we atleast get [email protected] or 4k at 15 Like the Gopro hero 4 silver edition?
Not all chips can run stable at 2.3 GHz.
Besides, there's more to this than the processor frequency.
The newer model phones have processors of 2.0 GHz, yet they are still light years ahead of the S4.
Why?
Because they have a high-power processor. Meaning that they can achieve better performance with lower frequencies.

Yeah, I know, my 4.3Ghz processor is nowhere near an i7 3.8Ghz, so we can't do anything to the phone with that overclocking?

I don't think so.
It barely makes a difference in benchmarks and usage.
I clocked mine at 2.1 GHz fairly stable (it would still freeze and reboot after a day) and I did not see any major improvements.
Speaking of these, can 60/120/240 FPS be achieved on non-stock ROMs?

We can't.
I still don't know how FPS / Resolution works, 1080p @ 30, why not 144p @ 240fps or 480? I mean, Its not a bad thing, or 4k @ 10fps
S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506) can because it has the NOTE 3 sensor, 4K compatible... and 1080p60fps compatible...
All the smatphones after (S5, NOTE4, etc) has this sensor or even a better...
So buy a new phone, but you won't have stabilization on 4K, so it's worse than 1080p30 with stabilization...

Which device flavor are we talking about...

...when the "device inventory" offers me a "T-Mobile Samsung S8 Edge+"? is that the european or the north american variant?
..different specs, after all...
