It really depends on where you buy it. The cheapest (legitimate) offer I can find is 481,90 € with no contract and 1 year of warranty.

I got mine for around 420€ with a 2 year contract, but I sold my I9100 so I really just paid the difference, I needed a new contract anyway :)

So 480€ in Slovenia.

Hi... Like everybody here, I love to try new roms, versions, etc... The problem is that everytime we full wipe our phone, we obviously lose everything.

I was looking for some tools to help me to backup/restore my apps (including swype, which seems impossible to backup) quickly. Titanium backup can't restore automatically... What about Rom toolbox pro? Worth it?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
There's always cwm which will backup whole ROM it includes apps and data, combined with titanium you can restore phone back to stock.

Cwm will not back up automatically.

[LG Revolution] nmh42411:
Okay so here's the deal starting at the beginning:

I bought a Revo 8(ish) months ago. A few months later, I decided to root. Then I went on to flash a custom ROM (GingerVolt). With the new OTA update, my phone started to spaz out. I decided to try to revert to stock so I could accept the update. I was able to download and flash the stock ROM, and then in my stupidity, rather than using AllInOne to unroot, I just used an app off the market. This left me with still having ClockworkMod Recovery installed. When I tried to OTA update, it just booted into CWM and told me that the update failed.

So my question is, how to I get stock recovery back on my phone so that I can get the update and get it back to out-of-box shape.

As you can probably see, I am not very knowledgeable about phones, acronyms, tech in general. If you know any way to help, please let me know in simple terms, step-by-step. Thanks in advance!
[LG Revolution] GuestK00134:
1) Boot into cwm, then flash stock rooted zv7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348637

2) Then using MTs AIO package, install stock recovery (option 5)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348557

3) Follow the procedure in the new AIO thread to upgrade to ZV8 AND preserve root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566729

By the way, if you have lost root but still have CWM, then just run SuperOneClick to regain root before following the steps above.

http://shortfuse.org
[LG Revolution] nmh42411:
Okay so just to make sure that I have this right...

1. I will need to re-root using SuperOneClick

2. The next step confuses me a little...I already have that exact ROM flashed (the one from the first link). Will I have to re-flash it?

3. Install stock recovery via MTs AIO package

4. OTA Update and I should be done?

Am I right or did I totally butcher he process?

The reason i'm asking about Batt life is because like many other featured/problems on new firmware Batt life is usually at the top of the list. if Batt life is worse there's not much reason for updating from GB. not yet anyway.

i upgraded this morning with about half battery,

ive been playing around with it all day bit of web search, marketplace downloads texts calls etc..

i have about quater of battery left so its seems to be as normal :) or if not better.

like i say tho ive only had it on for 1 day so over a few days is when you can reallly see the difference.

also no hangs or crashes and it keeps good speed. the ram usage is abit more but appart from that i think its a really good upgrade :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
what the deuce! you upgraded with half a battery this morning and you've still got a quarter left. if you're Frm uk and it's about 8 30pm here that's pretty good Batt life buddy! is it stock Batt or what. what the deuce!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyhall1bmx1:
yep stock battery :) the phones about 2 week old so battery is 2 week old too.

just plugged my phone in pc to check for update i had about 50% battery and a popup appeared on kies saying an update is available.

that was about 11 am this morning when i had 50% battery, aftar update i had about 48% battery.

so aftar update it was about 20 past 11 with 48% battery,

it is now 9.26 pm and i have 26% battery left, through the day its not had a charge and its had moderate usage like facebook, calling, texting, browsing, downloading from google play plying about with it and all the neww things like face unlock etc.

so from todays performance id say better battery life im sure of it !

speed seems the same maybe slightly faster

new features > new apps like playbooks, ebay, play movies

face unlock is pritty pointless but i suppose its kinda fun

nice animations etc..

GOOD UPDATE SO FAR
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fida khan:
jonny i'm intrigued! I'd like to know what you mean by new apps on ics - you mentioned playbook, Ebay etc. what's new.

and i'm not at the moment a big fan of ics official (i'm on stock GB 235} mainly cos I've been reading that it's almost a downgrade from ginger bread!

but I'll bet if anything is better it'll be speed. I've read that it's definitely smoother and faster. you're the first guy that has said anything positive about ics official update. hence my intrigue.

i'm on Three uk network and i'm waiting before i upgrade.

ps do you know if 02 and Three have roughly the SAME ics?

[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Hello all,

Just got my Lumia 800 and it's awesome. However, I've noticed a little problem where the "white" on the screen distorts a bit.

If you go into the Office App, next to the big title font ("Notes", "Documents", "Locations") and slowly slide the screen or scroll the body text. I'm noticing that the white adjacent to the title font distorts a little bit. I'll shoot a video later, but this appears to happen whenever there is a white background.

Does anyone have something similar?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
When i first read this post I was skeptical, but then I checked and realized you're right...that's some weird stuff, it may have something to do with the pentile amoled, my gf's 710 (LCD) doesn't seem to do that.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
It is indeed inherent to the screen type, my Nexus One did exactly the same, as does the Desire I have here.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
Yep, looking at it closely you can actually see some very faint rainbow coloured lines on the sides of the text when it's displayed on a white background. This happens pretty much everywhere, even inside the xda app I'm using right now...
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Yeah I guess if we're all having it, it's probably normal. Not ideal, but at least other aspects of the phone makes up for it :D

It's a little odd because it's not isolated to one part of the screen. It actually moves with the text.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
It's normal behaviour and nothing to worry about. Amoled screens works like plasma TV's and it comes with its side effects such as "line bleeding" from text and other stuff.
[Nokia Lumia 800] load"":
Same thing :( Its irritates me very much. I wouldn't buy 800 if knew it. I bet that 900 won't suffer from the distortion
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
Heh, at times I wish I bought the Titan: big LCD screen highly enjoyable for games and vids, less artifacts compared to a pentile AMOLED, better battery life, removable battery and possibility of putting on an extended unit. What actually pushed me miles away from it is how big and stupid things looked on an oversized 480x800 display: at the end of the day you don't see more text on the screen, you just see it BIGGER, it looks like a phone for visually impaired people :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] Razorfold:
It probably won't. The 900 has an AMOLED screen but it doesn't use a pentile matrix. The 800 has a slightly older AMOLED screen with one.

Samsung's Android devices have the same problem, Galaxy S - AMOLED pentile matrix. Galaxy S II - Super AMOLED no pentile.

I've basically soft bricked my phone and haven't got a clue how to fix it. I've read everything and tried everything and still can't get it working with my knowledge.

I tried to flash resurrection v1.0 but phone just hung on the GSII startup screen and froze. I've tried different kernels so that i can flash from external SD card but whenever i try this, it always says bad file (no matter what file i try use to flash). When i try flash from the internal SD card, it says its all successful (for the resurrection 1.0) but i'm back to where i started.

I think i need to flash the firmware using odin but i can't find the right files. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this issue? I've been playing around with it for 10 hours roughly now.

The original kernel i used when i flashed to resurrection 9.4 was for XWKI4.

Thanks.
