ASUS P835 - modified Thailand version with better specs? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Almost everywhere, including on the manufacturer's site, the specs for the ASUS P835 indicate a 1100mAh battery. Also, the GPS chipset seems to be Qualcomm gpsOne.
But on this Thailand site, the battery is listed as 1300mAh, and the GPS chipset as SiRF Star III.
So is this Thai version for real? Would nice to have more battery and better GPS (SiRF Star III has been tested to have better performance than gpsOne - at least in 2007).

Probably a mistake. I've seen the P835 spec to use the MSM7200 instead of 7201A. It would not make sense to have 2 separate hardware when the MSM7201A processor system already included the gpsOne GPS hardware.
I've used both SiftStar III and gpsOne, and gpsOne catches on to the sate slightly faster, if u use the APGS (GPS Catcher). I was quite worried about it before getting this 835 since I had a 535 with siftstar III. But my worries are not called for as the gpsOne is pretty fast to catch on the Sats, even in stormy weather with high density clouds. I am impressed with it actually.

gpsOne getting a faster lock than SiRF Star III without AGPS is expected, but what about their compared accuracy?

but u don't know ASUS Thailand not imported P835 ,it's mean not buying this model in Thailand.

hp ipaq 6315

Does anybody have an idea if this is a xda
http://www.shopping.hp.com/cgi-bin/...e_type=product_detail&script_name=product.cgi
HP/XDA
Its an XDA like device but from HP.
iPAQ and XDA are model names from their respective manufacturers.
Hope this helps
I think that h6300 is much much better than XDA II and of course there is no comparison between XDA and the h6300, it has WiFi, BT Manager from Widcomm, Keyboard, 3600mAh optional battery and it is much mych cheaper that XDA II which all not available in XDA II...
Best regards,,,
yes. I love this pda phone. HP is the best pocket pc ever. I will buy this pda phone. Thanks for your mention. HP ALWAYS PROVIDE GREAT SUPPORT. THE BEST COMPANY THAT WE TRUST.
You must be joking, hp renowned for its lack of support, no wm2003se for it's existing ipaq range ( paq 5550) poor quality hardware etc.
I personally wouldnt buy hp kit ever, it's great kit while it's working, but wait till something goes wrong!!!!
My company supplies IT hardware, we have no end of problems with hp, you should see their laptop warrantey requirements.

Battery, bluetooth(stack) and Wifi there good, BUT memory, speed wise and looks I like MDA2/XDA2 (I just dont like antenna specially holding it on landscape mode).. I guess its using OMAP (TI) 200MHZ I am not sure how to compare but memory(RAM/ROM) 64Megs is kinda small. But well wait how this two compare its other side by side. Keyboard its kind of ugly and bulky to carry with you all the time. If I want keyboard I'll wait for MDA III.. Just my opinion.
If you do buy the HP, you'll be really suprised at how slow it is,
That processor just isnt fast enough for most apps nowdays, and if you turn on wifi, it just turns into a slug!,
Stick with you XDA2's at the moment, i dont think there is an upcomming better device at the moment
Actually ....
.... although not the blazing speed of a 400Mhz XScale, the 200 Mhz TI actually held it's own, and never felt discomfortingly slow, and actually quite good in some areas (in my pre-prod sample).
My main reasons for switching from my XDA II to the 6300 will be size and autonomy ... the 200 Mhz CPU made that the battery simply lasted and lasted and lasted .... HP, imho, made a sensible trade-off between speed and autonomy.
Thanks. I will try to check on more information before I decide to it it or not. Thanks you guys!
Wiz,
What was the refresh speed like once you had wifi running?, this is where it will tax the processor and my biggest annoyance
I find the speed of my XDA2 adequate rather than blazing, we probably have different needs on device speed, but i would have rather seen 256meg inbuilt memory and the new 624mhz processor in the ipaq 6315
I'm not too worried about battery life as i am happy to carry a spare battery in my pocket as i do with my XDA2, i would much rather have speed and lots of memory than a long battery life
I suppose once it gets released and users start posting about the HP then we will see if most people are happy with it!
HP quality and support
I had 5 different iPAQs during last several years. From 3650 to 5550...
What I can say... In my case support was for 10 out of 10, but quality was 1 out of 10. HP EXCHANGED 4 times my 5550!!!!! I think so it is good example of service/quality...
About HP6315 - as long as we will be able to use BT stack from HP6315 on our I-Mate - I do not think there will be better handheld PPC Phone Edition on the market. For sure I am not mentioning for AWAITING for Windows Mobile Second Edition…
That was my brick in this discussion
The HP simply delivers what the masses want most: Cheapness, some simple extra functionality, and battery life. General users don't much care about speed, as they aren't going to add much to it nor ask much of it. Most PPC-PE users never load anything on it more than what is included--statistical fact.
We here are an anomaly--power users who demand the most of their devices. Most of us wouldn't settle for the limitations of the HP, but we need to realize that most of the general public considers the XDA II very limited. Simply because they'd never use its great capabilities, but would be annoyed at the shorter battery life and lack of things like voice dialing from BT headsets.

:shock:
Check the CPU of HP. It's Texas Instrument and not Intel based. It is not that I am loyal to Intel but I used several HP and Compaq Pocket PCs before that were cheaper because the CPU is not Intel. (Hitachi and Samsung CPU)
The problem with non Intel Pocket PCs' was compatibility with most softwares. Most of the softwares for PPCs' were optimized for Intel based.
So I preferred the XDAII because of the Intel processor and it is "Sexier" than the HP design and I don't like Stub Antennaes.

Question about flashing a Kaiser

Word on the street is the Kaiser will appear on September 3, 2007 via AT&T and be known as the 8925. See http://crunchgear.com/2007/08/09/breaking-att-tilt-price-and-launch-date-leaked/
So, question: Have any of our insider cooks gotten their hands on a Kaiser? And, if so, what's the process like for flashing one? As painless as the 8525, or a chore like the 8125?
While we're talkin' about it, what is the technological spec differences between the Kaiser and Hermes? Other than a fancy flip feature, I cannot see a spec which leads me to believe it's any better than the Hermes.
Thanks,
J
why don't you go read up in the kiaser section of Xda! this is the hermes part. the specs blow the 8525 away go do some research.
I did read up on it prior to the post. But, thanks for the words of wisdom.
Having read up on it, my thoughts are: you are easier to impress than I. As a slower CPU and larger RAM doesn't equal something blowing away something else. In light of that, I thought there was perhaps I was missing.

wow u really need to learn how to read more before posting. the cpu on the kaiser is a qualcomm 400mhz dual core cpu as far as i know. our hermes have a 400mhz since core. difference is that the kaiser has 1 core to handle phone functions and another to handle programs making it superior to the hermes. go on modaco and read what paul has to say. when u add hsupa, 7.2mbps hsdpa, 256 rom, 128 ram, tilt screen, improved scroll wheel, slides other way, touchflo, gps, 3mp with a good night mode and good sensor, better keyboard, lights for function and caps above keyboard, and do all this in a thinner package then u know u got a good upgrade to the kaiser. by the way, roms will be just as easy to cook as on hermes. all u need is to get a kaiser to olipro to do cid and simunlock and hardspl and get a cook like me a kaiser and ull have great roms. i seen the roms and have dumped them so i know.
Thanks for the detailed reply. That's exactly what I was looking for!
As for the CPU, the wiki here states that it's a 384MHz, not 400. But, most other things I've seen say 400. I didn't know it was dual core, so appreciate that info!
And, with the specs as you detailed them, I'm now excited and thinking about an upgrade! But, the wiki's details are not so stimulating
Also, I would imagine you're right re: flashing, as the Kaiser is quite similar to the Hermes. I was just having horrible thoughts of flashing my kid's 8125 and hoping that I wouldn't be buying myself a headache if I purchase the Kaiser.
Thanks again!
J
woa!! its dual core... really awesome too bad the resolution stay the same as hermes if only it was better, like 640x480 or maybe more like toshiba portege G900 having a 800x480 resolution screen...
I can say it`s an awesome device !

From what I can recall, the Samsung chips outperform Intel chips by a good margin -- when the 300Mhz Samsung was introduced a few years ago it held it's own with the then industry standard Intel PXA 25x clocked at 400Mhz. A 200 Mhz TI OMAP conserves power better than an intel clocked to the same frequency. In that sense, comparing the clock frequencies isn't all that revealing.
Who knows how the Qualcomm chips perform compare to the Samsungs? For all we know a dual Core Qualcomm could be worse that the 400 Mhz Samsung in the Tytn. It's unlikely, but not unprecedented that WinCE PDA specs stagnate or get worse from one generation to another. When HP took over Compaq a few of the iPaq lines ended up with slower processors.
Personally, I'd wait to see some benchmarks on the Kaiser before I buy.

I've seen some benchmarks and they all SMOKE the Hermes.
http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/msm7200_chipset.pdf
thats the spec sheet for the processor. according to it there is a 400mhz application processor and 274mhz microprocessor. also shows hsdpa up to 7.2mbps and hsupa up to 5.76mbps. will be a nice phone with a awesome processor.
but again back to the threat subject - will it be a problem to change the radio rom on the Kaiser ?
I'm not sure if this is still relevant, but a thread at the beginning of June suggested that new handsets with 3G chips from Qualcomm were banned from the USA while a trade dispute was being settled. Has this dispute been settled yet? If not then you guys in the USA may not be seeing your Kaisers for quite some time.

Axim x50v or x51 - which would you choose? (long post)

I'm not really sure where this belongs, so I'll put it here and ask for input and if a Mod decides it should be in another subforum, I've got no issues with it being moved. Also, this is a long post so, if you're so inclined to read it and you have some advice, I'd love to hear your opinions and thoughts.
I've been playing around with the x50v I got recently off Craig's List for $100: a nice little package deal, the x50v in immaculate condition with a screen protector, a "notebook" style leather flip case - not what I want however, the original 1100 mAh battery and cover as well as an extended 2200 mAh battery with extended cover, 2 cradles, 2 AC adapters, and a 1GB Patriot SD card + a 256MB SanDisk CF card.
It works great, I updated to the Dell WM5 A05 ROM then jumped directly to Lenny's L09 WM6.1 and I'm happy with it, but this is the second x50V I've owned in the past year and, well, I guess I'm sorta unhappy with the performance. I believe, based on reading a few thousand forum postings here and at Aximsite, Brighthand, and Lenny's HTCGeeks forum - and also everything I can find about the NOR memory issues with the x50(v) series Axims from Microsoft.
I know that the filesys.exe issue will always be there, that's a given, and based on how "slow" I think this thing is it just gives me reason to wonder what exactly is wrong. Here's my reasoning, based on experience:
I grabbed an HTC Wizard (AT&T/Cingular 8125) off Craig's List a few months back because the owner snapped the USB port off inside the unit. He had a wall-type charger for the battery, but obviously it couldn't be hooked up to a PC any longer through that USB port. I've contemplated sending it off to those PPC guys to repair the port but, it's like $100 or close to it and I really don't use the phone that much except as a cheap digital camera.
The reason I mention that Wizard is because I installed PointUI on it (www.pointui.com), a fairly cool but needs more development "touch" UI application. On the Wizard, the OS is WM5, untouched, I even reset the device recently and reinstalled the old PointUI I had (not the latest 1.5a version). The point I'm trying to make here is this:
PointUI on that Wizard is ridiculously fast and smooth as butter, almost like having an iPhone/iPod touch smoothness to it, really. It's that fast and smooth, at least to me. And the Wizard has no discrete graphics chip on it like the x50v does - the Intel 2700G GPU, basically.
So, here's my dilemma: when I install the older or even the latest versions of PointUI on the x50v (and yes I'm aware that it's not really designed for non-phones but it does work), it's slow. It's not fast, it's not smooth, and for a device with significantly more horsepower - running at 624 MHz full bore with the Intel 2700G working too, as compared to the Wizard running at a paltry 200 MHz or so with no video acceleration at all - I'm a bit disappointed in it.
Also, while I haven't tested it, I wonder if the issues are being caused by the slower NOR memory in the x50v. I have tried a few games like Enigmo which came with the x50v brand new and it seems to play pretty slowly as well on the x50v, even with the graphics acceleration working.
Blah blah blah... ok, here's my question:
I don't run at true VGA mode much, that's a given. I've installed a few apps that let me enable VGA mode on the device after a reset, but there just doesn't seem to be much out there taking advantage of it: 320x240 still is the order of business for the PocketPC universe, probably always will be unfortunately.
So, right now I've located an x51 (not an x51v which I really want but can't locate for a decent price, certainly not for $100 in a package like I just found with this x50v with a few cradles and chargers, maybe an extra battery or two, for about $100. It's not the x51v as I just noted, and right now I don't even know if it's the low-end x51 (416 MHz) or the mid-range model (520 MHz), I'll find that out if I choose to get it. Aside from the clock speed I think the low-end and mid-range models are identical - only the default clock speed (max) is what differentiates them; if I'm wrong and there are other differences between those two models, someone tell me, please, thanks.
The meat and potatoes: if you had the choice between the x50v with the slow and unavoidable NOR memory with the accompanying issues because of file compaction with filesys.exe that sometimes make the device so slow it almost makes you want to just reset it to start using it again, or...
The x51 which has no such issues, but also has no video acceleration but might not need it for simple movie/video playback, and most certainly can play audio files easily, and should theoretically run much faster than the x50/x50v because they're built with NOR memory and the x51 line uses NAND...
Which would you choose based on the following:
- the VGA screen in the x50v has 4x as many pixels so it's drawing 4x the power even when VGA mode isn't enabled - this is a fact because the LCD panel has 4x as many pixels. Just because I'm not running in VGA doesn't mean those extra pixels are "off" - they're always on, but it now requires 4 pixels to show what 320x240 would show on the x51 with just 1 pixel. It's weird but it's true, so theoretically the x51 should use less battery power. I can deal with 320x240, it's fine... movies still look fine to me on 320x240 screens.
- The slower clock speed at 416 or 520 MHz is fine also, movies don't really require that much CPU power to play with the encodings I've been finding and trying to make myself (limiting the bitrate to about 300 Kbps, 320x240 or whatever but 320 pixels wide max then the height is proportional based on the source content). Again, the slower clockspeed by default would mean longer battery life theoretically.
- Everything else between the x50v and the x51 are basically identical except for the Intel 2700G video chip. Same case, ports, CF/SD card slots, same Wi-Fi/Bluetooth hardware, etc, it's all the same save for the differences in clockspeed and the video, really.
So, which would you choose if you wanted the best performance with anything you're doing, without wondering if the device will suddenly just choke to a standstill while it's trying to process some information or store it in memory or whatever.
I'm leaning to the x51, actually. I still haven't had a chance to actually use an x51 or x51v, but if the performance of this lowly Wizard at 3x slower on average with no video acceleration at all is any sign, the x51/x51v should really be some damned fast devices.
Also, I just noted earlier today that MagLite is at work again and just released a test ROM for WM6.1 for the x50!!! Not the x50v, but the plain old x50 without the Intel 2700G, so this bodes very well that perhaps he or someone else could throw some stuff into their "kitchen sinks" and create a proper working WM6.1 ROM for the x51...
I'm pretty excited at the possibilities, and yes I'd still love to get an actual x51v or even an HP x4700 at this point with the 4" LCD, but at the moment the x50v I have is working, albeit slower than I'd like. With the factory WM2003SE on it it's very fast and snappy as expected, but put WM5 on it and performance plummets, and with WM6.1 it's even worse to some degree. I'm suspecting all of it is because of the slower NOR but I didn't think it was that slow - apparently is is because this little Wizard runs circles around my x50v... seems sad, really.
Thanks to anyone that reads all this and comments, I appreciate it.

Iocean X7S Elite - Real Octa-core phone mini review

Hi
Last seven days i have Iocean X7S Elite phone. I have to say that this device is really great. The most important features of this device are MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-core cpu, 2GB of RAM, Mali 450, FHD screen, Gesture control and 3G WCDMA can work on 900Mhz or 2100Mhz.
Significant technical specs
MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-core cpu
Mali 450 gpu
2GB of Ram
Screen: 5.0 inch, 1920X1080 pixels FHD screen, 443PPI
Network: WCDMA+GSM
Band: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 2100MHz/900MHz
Gesture control
If you will be interested you can see here the full review for Iocean X7S
As for the design, I have a model in black and white combination. but it is possible to buy it in a completely black color. The case is made of good quality plastic.
This is how it looks
The screen is 5 inch big with resoulution of 1920X1080 pixels. It is Full HD screen or FHD. I have to say that the screen is brilliant. Color rendition is excellent, and also have an excellent viewing angle. therefore I do not have some objections for the screen.
This V8 beast have MT6592 1.7GHz octa core cpu + 2GB Ram + Mali 450 = win+win combination. It is really good combination, all applications that I have tried, it worked flawlessly. If you do not have too many installed apps, then there will always be freely around 1.3GB of ram.
Iocean X7S Elite scored 27200 points in antutu benchmark app. You can see screenshot below.
Also you can see the Vellamo Mobile Benchmark results :good:
All certainly wondering how GPS works on Iocean X7S ? Gps works great, I'm also pleasantly surprised because without wifi and network connection and without any fixes, gps works great with no problems.
I also want to say something about Gesture control function. It is really cool function which works good and that can be very useful. For now you can use it only for basic functions such as going through menu, etc.
Thank you
About the video quality you can see below examples:
And here you can see how Iocean X7S plays movies, in this example is Star Trek Ds9 fight :victory:
Great Review! thank you- I am happy to ee that they have fixed the GPS problem from MTK6589 version..
I am thinking to buy the MTK6582 version.

Yes, they fixed the problem. Now gps is working good.
What rom you have?
what rom u have
what rom u have
How would you compare it to Neken N6S?
What is the pricing of iOcean X7S Elite?
N6S has practically same specs as X7S, no bloatware, standard android no candy like MIUI, around $220 + shipping + tax.
Can you post more GPS screenshots and first fix times? Of course no WiFi, somewhere outside in the open.
What is the battery endurance? I guess it's going to be around the same for all MT6592 devices.
Hi,
There is stock rom on the device. Gps works good in the same way without sim card and Wifi
I checked it out. Looks really nice
I have the x7s one month now.
I cannot say I have found any single issue yet. The phone rocks and also with open wifi all day and normal use on calls the small battery lasts easily for the day.
It was much worse during the first days but after a week the battery started performing better.
gps locks in no time, the screen is ultra sharp in colours and the phone is very light overall

Why octa-core?

The galaxy tab s products that are available to me have an octa-core processor, with the high speed cores being 1.9ghz. I can't really understand why Samsung chose to use that instead of a 2.3ghz quad-core like in the tab pro.
See Wikipedia for an explanation of the concept: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_...multi-processing_.28global_task_scheduling.29
Because the Exynos 5 Octa-core is the one processor that Samsung has to be able to compete with Snapdragon 800, and is cheaper to implement since it's their own processor. I don't buy the Octa-core hype, I'd be happier with the Snapdragon 800 honestly like on the Tab PRO 8.4.
The question is:
Does TAB S use the 8 cores at the same time?
It seams it does NOT, little cores are only used when low power is required..
So performance wise, this CPU is slower than SD 800

And yet I am getting 35,300 on Antutu using Shaheers t800 rom which is higher than any other current tablet or phone. (Shaheer's rom should go out of beta today - don't flash until final has been posted).
The Tab Pro 8.4 Antutu is 32,806.
I CANT PLAY NOVA 3 with exynos !
AND GAMING IS NOT SO SMOOTH ! STILL A BIT LAGGY
I can see the argument that you don't always need full power, thus the four slow cores, but since all cores can't run at once, it seems a cheat to have 1.9ghz as the top speed for the faster four cores. Since, or at least I assume, cores step up and down as needed, it seems to me a snapdragon 800 or higher at 2.3ghz or higher would have been just fine. I mean, if you are going to put in 3gb of RAM, then you should put in a great cpu also and not pretend less (1.9ghz) is a better contribution to what is supposed to be a premium tablet.
And yet I don't think samsung is doing enough to utilizing this hardware capability. In theory it should run at least 4x faster and 6x more effecient then the snap dragon and apple current A8 chip. It has failed to outshine the competitors because samsung software department sucks. Samsung hardware is still great though.

Blame the developer for not making it compatible. Tegra powered Htc one x is incompatible too so not sure that is exynos issue..
i wish my t805 had Full HD screen resolution :cyclops:
Funny. Was just browsing the web a bit on my i5 ultrabook and it occurred to me that the browser on my Tab S is actually faster. If gaming is your primary thing, I'd buy the Nvidia Shield, not the Tab S. This tablet is designed for eye candy media consumption (internet and video) not for gaming enthusiasts. Try running your PC video card at 2560 x 1600 on ultra and see what you get.
i had heard from a Samsung rep i actually enjoy talking to that Sammy had just figured the all cores at once and we should see updates that turn that feature on. when this will happen who knows. i also did not ask him for a link and now cant find that info on the web so when i see him again soon i will get more info.
i would assume (insert you know what that means) that when/if this happens the full power of this setup would greatly improve?
anyway i have had my Tab S running snappy for me and no complaints at this time
You cannot compare the clock speeds from two different processors. For instance, you can't compare the 1.9GHz quad-core of the Exynos to the 2.3GHz quad-core of the Snapdragon 800. This doesn't mean anything. If you compare the clock speed of two Snapdragon chips, that's ok, or if you compare the clock speed of two Exynos chips, then that's ok too. Comparing the clock speed of an Intel chip against the clock speed of an AMD chip, is the same as comparing the clock speed of an Exynos chip to the clock speed of a Snapdragon chip.
The Exynos chip in this tablet has been shown to compete very well/close with the Snapdragon on every level except GPU. The Mali GPU in this chip just doesn't match the Adreno GPU from the Snapdragon. However, the RAM is faster in the Exynos than the Snapdragon.
That said, I am a fan of the Snapdragon chip, of course. I was holding off to see if the LTE variant of this tablet would have the Snapdragon 800, but instead they shipped with an Intel LTE modem. Besides apps/games not being optimized for Exynos, I am fairly satisfied with my purchase. I'm just anxious to get CyanogenMod(or any other AOSP ROM installed on it).

i had heard from a Samsung rep i actually enjoy talking to that Sammy had just figured the all cores at once and we should see updates that turn that feature on. when this will happen who knows. i also did not ask him for a link and now cant find that info on the web so when i see him again soon i will get more info.
i would assume (insert you know what that means) that when/if this happens the full power of this setup would greatly improve?
anyway i have had my Tab S running snappy for me and no complaints at this time

Could also mean increased battery consumption,don't know. Overall I am satisfied with this Tab including battery life.
There are 3 different performace results:
a) what Exynos 520 does achieve in practice now, measured bei some benchmarks and real world performance (<= Snapdragon 800)
b) what it could do theoretically - but will never happen due to driver and scheduler etc issues (>> Snapdragon)
c) what it will do some day in near future on an optimized ROM (somewhere in between?)
Fortunately the Exynos 5420 does support all 8 cores in parallel, see here:

Wish I knew how. Probably a linux thing. ...
If it is possible to implement in today's existing source, I'm sure @AndreiLux would know about it ?

I've found a few articles saying it should support it, then a couple Deva saying they had to goto the 5422 for a working implementation of HMP.
Here is a post from odroid

That's weird. The (newer) 5422 supports HMP but not 3gb RAM.
