Suspend/Resume in Plasma Active on Nexus 7 3G with WWAN

Leave a comment

In a previous post I wrote about using WWAN (UMTS/3G) in Plasma Active on Nexus 7. What I forgot to mention there was that there may be problems with suspend/resume when using UMTS. In order to circumvent these issues I created a systemd suspend script that takes care of turning the WWAN device on and off on resume/suspend. Simply place the executable script in “/lib/systemd/system-sleep/wwan-fix.sh”:

Mobile devices get Qualcomm's quad-core chip with integrated modem

Leave a comment

The first mobile devices with Qualcomm’s quad-core Snapdragon chip featuring an integrated modem will be shown off later this month, the company said on Monday.

Device makers will show tablets and smartphones with the new Snapdragon S4 chip at Qualcomm’s QRD Summit in Shenzhen, China, which will be held Wednesday. The QRD refers to the Qualcomm Reference Design program, under which the company offers chips, tools and device reference designs for carriers and hardware makers to test and ready products.

The devices will likely run on the Snapdragon S4 Play chip, which was announced by Qualcomm in late September. The quad-core S4 Play chip, also called MSM8625Q, is targeted at low-end smartphones and tablets, and supports CDMA and UMTS protocols, but does not include 4G capabilities.

Qualcomm declined to comment on which companies will show products. However, devices based on the S4 Play are expected to appear in the first quarter this year.
