Galaxy note 3 cracked screen + camera off balance (filter)

Hi,
Wondering if my diagnosis is correct at this point...
The phone (Note 3, on the back is written n9005) fell and the screen cracked... also the LCD beneath it cracked. My previous phone back in the days also had a cracked screen (the Galaxy Nexus), but the screen underneath was OK. Presumably because it is an amoLED? They do not break to my knowledge...
So now, I read on the specs the note 3 has an amoLED screen. Why is it cracked? This, I find weird...
My second problem;
I tried to start the camera and I found it had a green filter moving around when you give the phone a little slap from the side. So, now I was reading this article that was talking about a green filter... Is this the same filter that got loose? I also opened the phone and saw underneath the lens (which I loosened) a green circular piece of glass that was moving freely.
Here is the article:

Also check my pictures to see the green filter from camera-view. You clearly see the filter moving around.
Is my diagnosis correct (screen and camera)?

Strange knowledge you have. Sure does a AMOLED crack...

Why do you think an AMOLED screen won't crack? My old s2 and s4 both had cracked screens.

Because,
1/
Amoled + hammer on youtube = no cracks.
Oled + hammet + youtube = no damage
2/
My Galaxy nexus touchscreen cracked but the screen underneath (amoled) didnt crack.
So both points made me think it does not crack (not talking about the touch/digitizer).

It does crack any screen can crack with the right stress .
You have a cracked screen that really needs someone capable to look at it .

Or you have a UTube Note 3 with no cracks .

This is deffintely a fake one. Real amoled does not crack + read this below:
On the back is written n9005 and in the settings it's written n9006.
Also, installed system info android and I see different stats...

Regarding the I9500's big.LITTLE architecture and CM

First of all sorry if I posted in the wrong place please someone guide me to where it is supposed to be if i did post in the wrong place, so I have an I9500 running CM13, I downloaded kernal auditor from the Google play store and noticed that I only have the option of editing 4 cores and they all have a Max limit of 1600MHz so I'm assuming those are the A15 set of cores,, so my question is pretty simple, does my current rom make use of both the A7 and A15 clusters (I am aware that they never run simultaneously) I'll include pictures about details on my rom, thanks in advance

Well the screenshot refuses to be uploaded so:
CyanogenMod version: 13.0-20160828-unofficial-gearCM-i9500
Kernal version: 3.4.5-cyanogenmod-gd795889
[email protected] #1
Sun Aug 28 22:30:39 CEST 2016
Build number: cm_I9500-userdebug 6.0.1 MOB30Z
2c597c319e
Test-keys

It could also be that Kernel Adiutor can't access the A7 cores.

big.LITTLE mechanism on i9500 is a little bit unique, because frequency tables are merged.
800 (700 if underclocked) until 1600 (up to 2000 if overclocked) for A15 core, while 250 (as low as 100 if underclocked) until 600 (about 650-750 if overclocked) for A7 core.
If frequency bumps to 800 MHz or higher, A15 core is used, besides that A7 core is used.
Hope this could understand you.

yup just like kras said so if it shows lower than 800 then it shows the little cores, for example, 600mhz in kernel adiutor is actually 1200mhz a7 freq, 500mhz is 1000mhz a7 and so on

So the A15 cores would never run below 800 (or 700 if under clocked)?

I see so 200MHz on kernal auditor would actually be 400MHz A7 etc. That poses another question, I understand that the A15 cores CAN on stock image run at below 800MHz, or is that incorrect

Yes, that's how the CPU works.

No. Below 800 MHz it would switch to A7 core respectively.

Help: Games on Note 4 keep crashing without even an error message...

Hello, Recently I had to switch to a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, because my main phone died, and I noticed that the games I loved, kept crashing on the device (PUBG Mobile, Asphalt 9 and some more)
I have tried resetting the phone, enabling 4x MSAA, Force GPU rendering and Disable Hardware overlays, but nothing seems to be working. I have a suspicion, that the battery is not giving enough power to the processor or something like that, but I'm not good with batteries
Here is some more info:
Android: 5.0.1
Battery: Li-ion
CPU: Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 - Snapdragon 805
GPU: Adreno 420 (Snapdragon 805)
Firmware Version: N910FXXU1BOC3 (not newest, phone wont let me update... I tried)
I hope this is enough info,
I hope you can help me, have a nice day

Choosing SoC MTK 8127A vs PX 5 RK

Hello want to change my aunt and I am in big trouble
My choices are an Android device based on MTK 8127A from ATOTO but that come with 2 GB of RAM or a regular one based on PX 5 which come with 4 GB of RAM.
I understand that the MTK car goes devices are a little bit rare
So what to choose:
ATOTO with a MTK PROCESSOR and 2 GB of RAM, pretty good support and rom updates or a PX 5 ?
Which is faster and more stable?
Thank you

From what i have heard, MediaTek has better reputation than Rockchip. Which one is more stable / faster depends on how the SoC is integrated into the platform, how the Software Governers control the clock rate of the SoC. So this is difficult to answer strictly based on the SoC chip itself.

SoC Chip: MTK 8127A
Soc-based Quad-core 1.5Ghz Cortex A7 CPU
GPU ARM Mali-450 MP4 .
System Version: ATOTO AICE OS 9.4, which is developed & customized based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS;

but there are also :
PX6 ! devices (but it's news no more info a this moment) :
Android 8,1
CPUX6 RK3399
2 Core cortex A72 2ghz
4 Core Cortex A53 1.5ghz
RAM: SAMSUNG DDR3 4 GB
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-android-unit-cortex-a72-four-cortex-t3847427
And A72 Core is a lot better than A53, and A53 is a little bit better than the very old Cortex A7

I agree with @mum1989 that A72 and A53 CPU cores have much better specifications than the A7. If the applications you run on the head unit can take advantage of the ARMv8 instruction set or if the workload can be distributed across the cores, then PX6/PX6 SoC may well perform better than MTK8127A. On the other hand, in my day-to-day use of ATOTO A6 Pro which uses MTK8127A, I have never observed it to be slow or stutter or otherwise show signs that older A72 Core was limiting the end-user experience.

Underclocked headunit+os version?

Hi,
Just got new android headunit, this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000808902548.html model T3-CP. advertised as 4-core ALL WINER T3 1.5GHz Cortex A7. But cpu-z says that processor is 1.2Ghz and actually runs on 1.0 Ghz. Unit works mainly as adverticed and expected, just a little bit slow but just wondering is there way to change cpu speed to 1.2Ghz which should be actual cpu speed? Also wondering what is actual os version on headunit? Kernel 4.9.118 says it is Android 9.0 but api level 27 says it's 8.1? Also does anyone know how to find developer options on those Prelingcar headunits? Far as i know it should be quite popular brand? Thanks

If you read the Aliexpress description carefully, it says it is a Android 8.1 with 1 GB RAM. The kernel version cannot be used to derive the Android version.
Yes, the Android Settings version information is faking to be Android 10 and 2 GB RAM. Never trust such a screen on these Chinese HUs.
CPU-Z is using the kernel interfaces to find out max CPU frequency and current frequencies of the 4 cores. Note that the kernel adjusts core frequencies on the fly, dependant on the CPU load. So you will not see 1.2 GHz often and should see lower frequency typically.

Actually device has 2gb ram, atleast displayed by cpu-z. Cheaper model T3 has 1gb, but this is T3-CP. Yes i know that unit do not have android 10 even it says so, but just wondering what version it actually has.
