[Q] Snapdragon S4 Pro Technical Reference - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does any one know where we can find the technical document or reference manual of Qalcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro? This chip is used in Nexus 4. I want to find out if Nexus 4 has internal RAM (iRAM) and how it could be accessed in software.
Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

It should be all in qualcomm's website.

I checked their website and couldn't find them. Do you have a link?
I also looked at their development board DragonBoard, and it seems you need to purchase the board to get those documents. This really sucks.

Is there even a app that can access iram?

They are pretty much all the same, just different sizes.

Nexus 7 vs Galaxy Tab 2?

Hey Guys.
New to the nexus 7 forums. But, i wanted to ask a simple question..
which is better??
Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2??
Well, Nexus 7 is pretty cheap and i've been wondering why.
Plus, When will Nexus 7 be available in stores for India and Dubai??
Thanks.

Obviously Nex7 because you will be able to update it to android 5.X.X when it comes out.

Has this been confirmed somewhere? The N7 doesn't have expandable storage, which means if I buy it would have the be the 16GB one.
Yup. It has no micro-sd card.
But can we still copy files on it?
Sorry for that n00b question.
BTW, anyone knows when it's out in dubai or india?
If you can live with 16gb then the nexus is the better choice. Tab 2 has an older processor and inferior screen.

I considered the Tab 2 as it was the same price as the 16gb N7 (both $249) and it had expandable storage. I bought the N7... I feel I made the right choice.

Okk...
I guess i'll consider the n7 more than the tab 2.
it has usb mass storage right?

If you root it and get an OTG adapter. I bought two for like $1.50 with free shipping.

Dubai Dubai 16GB AED 1299
India India 16GB INR 21465
I don't live in either of those areas so don't know how reputable the retailers are, But a quick search on Google and thats what I found
After buying an N7 on release date and within 3 weeks my screen cracking to bits I too am wondering which is the better tab. Agreed the N7 has better specs power wise but, I think that the galaxy tab will have superior build quality including gorilla glass which is now my main concern.
How did that happen? Thanks

If you want to use 3G,You need to buy a 3G+Wifi Nexus 7 which is a few dollars more than the original one. Check here.
I bought both!!! Tab 2 for my aunt Sally because I could use Team viewer Quick Support (only supports Samsung) to help her remotely. N7 for myself. Played with both and without a doubt N7 wins hands down!!!!!

Looks like the Nexus 7 is winning more votes.
Since it's even getting more development.
I like aosp for that reason

Unlock play store for nexus 7?

I've searched google and it keeps taking me to market enabler which is only for gsm. I'm trying to get a sprint specific app. I've tried the spring codes, don't work. Is there another way of doing this?

It isn't possible to side load it via Titanium Backup? Or is the tablet version different from the phone version?

Unless its an app that updates all the time side loading isn't a bad way to do it. In your case that seems like the least headache solution for now.

New phones?

Hi people
Ive been using nexus for a year now.
And it is the best device I ever used.
However Im getting bored of this phone a bit >< and I thought of moving on.
Do you guys have any devices you are looking forward to?
P.s. Hows xperia z compared to our nexus 4?
Display and camera seems better but Im not sure for other stuff

LG G Flex
Note 3 is amazing. It would be a dream in Google edition.

Off topic: Can you please share with us what makes you bored about this phone?
If you just want a faster device with higher resolution I would suggest LG G2/N5.

Be aware that LG ponies never see more than one update. Even the flagship device.

I feel like everything is a little "undercooked" now.
64bit CPU's are on the way.
4K Displays are in the discussion while the GPU's would still not be powerful enough to drive games on them in a serious way.
Nvidia and Qualcomm start adding new GPU features like Desktop Open Gl, Tesselation. Meanwhile Snapdragon's OpenGl Es 3.0 drivers are still broken and unusable.
Intel wants to enter the ARM market and could bring some really good CPU's.
It is time for the manufacturing tech to go below 28nm, which has been used for quite a while and is still used in Snapdragon 805 and Tegra K1. It could save some serious Watts.
The HEVC/H265 video codec is on the way, and until now only the Snapdragon 805 can handle it.
The European GPS System Galileo is supposed to start this year, yet none of the phones features support for it.
And then there is always the simple truth that the Nexus 4 is still incredibly powerful and fast.
You could argue, that tech always develops incredibly fast, but I will wait and see how it works out until 2015.
I made myself a list of "must have" features, before I buy a new phone again.

[Q] question about a clone note 3

I have a friend that owns the Chinese clone of the galaxy note 3 and hes been having some issues with what i'm sure is software related, I have done some research on the matter, am i able to use the same recovery and roms for the original note 3 so he can remove the Chinese os from his phone, thank you.
Since its a clone it will most likely have a different SOC which means that all content for the Note 3 will be incompatible.
OK is there a thred on here for that specific phone that I might be able to find the tools to help him?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Go into settings, about phone, and find the exact model of this clone... then do a simple google search for what exactly you want including your device's model that you found earlier...
