[Q] i9500 or i9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I KNOW this question was extensively talked here and there.
But since I probably buy one this week, and reading the other forums it didn´t answered my question... (because some of the user reviews was so technical).
Wich one is better in terms of CPU and GPU?
Exynos or Snap??
Don´t want technical reviews, since Iam a noob.
SImple and direct... Wich one is better in CPU/GPU?
Thanks in advance and sorry for this question!

In my personal opinion:
CPU- i9500 is better
GPU- i9505 is better

Steve Kondik already has a working CM10.1 alpha for the 9505.

A good replacement for my HD2???

I'm searching for the best replacement for my good old "Super" HD2.
I'm trying to decide between HTC Sensation or Samsung Galaxy S2.
Anyone can help me decide?
They are both very good phones and i'm thinking of trying the SGS2 because i have been a Big fan of HTC and Sence, but now I starting to get curious about SGS2.
Please give me some help decide.
Thanks
Hi,
Is this really the best place for such a question?
CLICK
Yes it is.
I already read alot about it on the net. But I'm searching for opinions of HD2 users, since the HD2 is a great phone (The best I had so far) but it's begining to become old.

Yes,but this is a development forum for people with HD2.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1109
and on the galaxy forums.
People there HAVE the phones and can comment on them.
Ok, I got it.
I have post this on HD2/Android and I wanted to post on HD2 General.
Well I can't move my post, but if some moderator see this, please move it to the right forum.
I already saw that post that you mention, but as I said I wand the opinion of HD2 user

I like Barebones CM7, but it's up to each person. You can just test each of them and see which one do you like better.
Yes, they are all GingerBread.

Right there it says:
What doesn't work
Tethering via USB
Hardware accelerated graphics
Static wallpaper
Meaning Flash and HD Videos (besides S/W decoder supported ones) won't work.
ok I'm sry i didn't knew that this is what it says...
About CM7 roms.
What are the differences? the main ones...
thanks for the help btw +rep
CM7 all about same. You can customize any by installing launcher and themes.
So this 4 roms are the same ? Which one is the best ?

I'd suggest you read through the threads to find what others are saying, it is hard to say one ROM is the best because in most cases there will be enough satisfied/grunting users on each case to make them mostly equal, as with any tablet/e-reader: the best will be the one that matches what you are looking for
What are the main differences?
if I were to ask you what the main differences between having a hot sex with a chinese woman vs a japanese woman vs a bottle blonde vs a african goddess vs a dwarf vs a brunette vs a greek vs a russian vs a 3D hentai slut what would you say?
excuse my french but I can't think of a more annoying question than that. TOEACHHISOWN.
I suggest you play with s tock rom until you find youself wondering about other roms. then try paul obriens modaco. then try cm7 whistlestop. then when yoour ready for primetime..... hit a bowl of ice cream. Then go back too others. learn. experience. and tfhen try to answer your own question.

I glanced at this post a couple of times today, but passed it by. Better to spend the time/energy/keystrokes on the "lost and seeking guidance" crowd rather than the "I see the spoon, but feed me" bunch. Otherwise, it's just endless enabling, but hey... venting is worthwhile from time to time too.
On a side note... where can I find one of those 3D hentai sluts you mentioned?
I'm just a newb, sorry i can't understand the differences between the roms...
I didn't asked everyone to jump on criticize me...

Come on... you've been here longer than I have. You're just a few handful of posts away from being a senior member at XDA. I've looked at some of your posts and you've been criticized before for doing the same things in other device forums. The junior member with just 3 posts (he spent one of those on you) even told you to do some reading to see what would work for you. You can hardly call yourself a newb... this "babe in the woods" routine isn't going to work.
There are ways to ask questions that will get you helpful responses and there are posts that will draw venom from members. If you can't take the time to read over the descriptions for these various ROMs and ask direct questions about them, you shouldn't expect someone else to draw up a comparison chart on your behalf.
Let me leave you with this thought: If you write a 5 word question that demands a 5 paragraph answer.. you are doing it wrong!
That's my venting for the day.
We understand that and there isn't much to criticize. Just try each of the ROMs yourself and decide on your own which one do you like the best.
You don't have to stick to a single ROM for life once it's flashed. If you don't like what you flash, then wipe and flash another.
No one better than you to tell you what you like.

Hey, that's me, I actually been roaming the forums for some time and I usually read a lot before I try something, I just keep searching and trying until I hit a really hard roadblock, and then I try to search some more, when I definitely have nowhere else to go then I go back to square one and do it all over again, if I haven't got the result I am looking then I ask a question (turns out I have not had the need to ask questions here, which means I've been able to get my results all by searching and trying)
Hey, how about that? 4 posts now! that 10 post threshold is mine! ...sometime this year...

Which is the best, with this features ???

Hey guys,
I'm rookie , please help me,
first of all thanks for your forum , I really think, this is the best forum in the world.
I have a question , I installed MIUI 2.4 on my HD2 ago, actually I tested a game (Splinter Cell Conviction) on it, but some objects such as walls and doors was invisible on it, so my question is 1)which version of Androids is the best for play 3D games? 2)which version is the best (graphic , design , battery , speed and so on...)
thanks for your help...
First of all, this is the development forum... Not Q&A, as where you should have posted...
Second, a simple search with google or the search feature would have turned up relevant results, and there are dozens, if not hundreds, of threads asking the same question.
Let me google that for you: http://bit.ly/QyOGsA

actually I'm confused
1. There is no best ROM.
2. Are you so lazy that you can't even go to the dev forums and find the ROMs yourself? That's even more pathetic than asking for the best ROM.

I don't meant to hate @OP but this is true.. There are HUNDREDS of the same thread in the general section and Android Q&A asking "what is the best rom"..
I started out as a complete noob a year ago and still figured out my way around by reading, then you can too..

If I can't help then I should be quiet? Not when you've created a useless thread, for a question which has been asked hundreds of times before, originally in the wrong forum section, and then a follow-up question asking for a download link which would have taken you no more than 20 seconds to find? If I didn't point all of this out, then I can guarantee someone else would have done so.

I have used a tonne of forums to understand how they work. The forum wouldn't exist if people didn't ask questions or post their concerns.
It's about helping people and not keeping all your new found knowledge to yourself.
If by better you mean faster, more powerful, better battery life etc then the 8 core.
If you mean which will have better support for custom ROMs and software, the usa veriant with snapdragon quad core.
If I was going ti buy one it would be the 8 core but I'm going to hold out to see what nexus 5 and note 3 bring as s4 isn't enough of an upgrade from s3 but my 1gb ram is limiting and I will defo upgrade this year.

Well that's easy. One is super awesome, and the other one is absolutely terrible. But you get the decide which is which.
On a separate but related note, as others have said, this has been discussed many many times here and has resulted in quite a few locked threads, misinformation, and mini flame wars.
That's why, here at Xda there's this little rule about searching before posting...

Only chances of that would be a tablet. Chances of a new phone are 1%.
