Directly doing a currency conversion historically has almost never yielded you the actual retail prices (just the fact that regularly a phone has the same Dollar and Euro price is indicative of this).
[Windows Phone 8 General] nutnithin:
yup it hasnt but its indicative of approximately how much the product could be bought for(unlocked) in most places..presently most phones cost almost the same in India and the middle east if you dont factor in the dealer discounts....

820 over the 8X?

what?!?!?!
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
what are you whatting at?

the only advantage the 8x has is its beats audio.
[Windows Phone 8 General] nutnithin:
you do know that the 8x is the current high end phone from HTC while the 820 is the mid end phone from nokia???
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
it is high end because it is defined by HTC as high-end.

I for one, like to take a look at specs instead of just using a predefined opinion.
[Windows Phone 8 General] nutnithin:
i would say its higher end when compared to the lumia 820..for example the rear 8.0 mp camera is better than the one in the 820, plus its got an image chip which i am sure will beat the lumia 920 in terms of operation speed..the fcc also sports a higher resolution than the one in the 820..for sound, there's an amp for better sound quality..and in terms of display, the 8x is better in pixel density and resolution...

now if you compare it to the 920, il agree the 920 trumps it in most features..i feel that lumia 920 >htc 8x >lumia 820
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
So what? Lumia 820 beats the HTC in other domains, like wirelress charging, design, storage space.

The two of them are pretty close together, which is why it is fair to compare the 820 with the 8x.

As i already said, the only real advantage the 8x has over 820 is the audio quality.

Others are more or less neglect-able, and some of them are double edged swords (like your pixel destiny, will increase the amount of RAM applications will eat compared to lumia 820)
[Windows Phone 8 General] nutnithin:
wireless charging is an add on cover for the 820, while design is a personnel choice..i know alot of people who like the htc 8 series more than the lumias, storage space i agree non upgradeable is kinda not what i expected but then we should be calling the lumia 920 a fail too ...the pixel density is a major differentiator for a lot of people so is the resoultion(from what i heard the 820 display is not 720p) which can deter alot of people.

anyways all this boils down to personal choice..if i were to select between the 8x and the 820, i would go for the 8x...but if you throw in the 920, then you know my ans : 920
[Windows Phone 8 General] daAppu:
Lumia 820 has one serious minus point over 8X - only 800x480 resolution vs 1280x720 which is quite a staggering difference. Rest features are more or less matched with Lumia 820 triumphing heavily on exclusive apps.

Yes 8X has better camera but there's simply no beating Lumia camera settings and extras. With some setting tweaking, Lumia 820 stands a chance to beat 8X's camera. And hence, mcosmin222 is quite sensible for comparing 820 vs 8X.

I can't post in the development section so I figured I would post it here and you can pass on the info....under performance I switched CPU to hotplug and now I get great battery and am running the screen on full bright. Before it was dying in about 10 hours idle. Everything seems to run good.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LifeWOutMilk:
That's pretty much the consensus that has been reached over the last week or so with several users. That's why it's all over the General, Q&A, and Development boards too :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shockwave457:
I flashed cm 10 and tried to use it...was fine but as soon as I tried to download something it would freeze....also battery horrible I get like maybe 8 hours? How can I fix that when they make a morebstable cm10? Using cm7 again btw
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LifeWOutMilk:
Which ROM did you flash? I've had good results with sgt7 from 04/10. So good I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade to 08/10 :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
Wow ! thats dualboot for i9003 ! sweet :D gud to see development back in action :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mikef:
Good work. :)

The class of an SD card can be misleading. It is only a measure of the sequential Write access and that doesn't tell the whole story. Class 10 cards are great for cameras and applications that write or read sequential data, such as saving a picture and transferring a file. They are not so good for random access which is what the Android OS does when operating. In fact the random access speed for class 10 cards is lower than class 4 or 6 cards. From what I have seen, the sweet spot for smartphones is class 6.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Awesome. Only if we could achieve dual boot without flashing kernel everytime. But anyways awesome guide. Thanks.

Reminded me of dual booting of maemo and android on my brother's n900.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juztinlee:
Whats the benefits of dual boot? I heard about it but i dont have an idea
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Dual Booting means you can have two OS's (here firmware) on the phone at the same time. You can choose on which you want to go. This, besides being awesomely cool, is really helpful in many scenarios.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
But its not exactly a dual booting. On galaxy s2 dual booting uses a single kernel but in our case.we are still using two different kernels which has to flash saperately.

Really we should create a kernel which can be used for cm9/10 & for stock GB rom. Then real fun will begin :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] santoshsadani009:
^But this can be useful when you have to go for a long trip and want to record videos which only our stock rom is capable of doing good. Thanks to the developer.

Also, if anyone can, please tell me what is the possibility we can create a dualboot kernel like siyah kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I didn't say dual boot :D

Creating a single kernel for ICS/JB and GB is not possible, or at least not an easy thing.

CyanogenMod is using newer graphic drivers not compatible with GB. I tried to use my CM10 kernel with GB, just to see what could happen. Well, it works, but with no hardware rendering as expected. It doesn't mean "it's laggy", it's painfully slow. And if we'll have the 3.0 kernel working, I guess this will be even more difficult.

The only option I think is kexecing an additional kernel, but kexec is hard to implement.

However I dual booted CM10 and CM9 (SD) with a single kernel (there are traces of this in my unpack/repack tools), I simply added an additional "cpio.gz" inside the boot.img. There's an additional boot reason that we never use, so we can use it to choose the corrent "cpio.gz" by parsing /proc/cmdline. The only problem is that you need to boot the ROM first and the reboot, because to get the other boot reason you have to run this:

reboot arm11_fota #or arm9_fota

(if you are using a stock ROM and try to reboot with the command above, you'll see weird stuff, but nothing should happen to your phone. I did it once.).

Maybe there's something else possible, but dual booting never interested me. As I said, I did it because I needed it.

You can do a lot of things, I even stored a ROM in a subdirectory in /data and use it from there (=> fast).

I don't know how exactly dual booting with this kernel works. I actually don't know how usually dual booting is implemented in Android.

I just looked at it. It allows you dualbooting only two ICS+ ROMs (so no GB), it automatically creates an hidden partition, automatically stores the ROM there, provides additional tools in CWM and other nice things.

I guess is something possible, but don't expect it from me. As I said, I'm not interested in dual booting and this thing requires time and knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
so that means we can dualboot cm9/10 with miui v4 . right ? since they both use the same kernel
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TheDarkLord1997:
Ya a Universal kernel will do the trick.If later then we can achieve dual boot then the people who were holding back from CM9 or CM10 can flash that for features and a stock rom for stability and camera.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
As long as the kernel is the same, yes.

If you want, here you can find the unpacked boot.img I (probably) used to dual boot CM10 and CM9 (SD).

There's no zImage in there, use the one you prefer, CM10 and CM9 are using the same kernel.

EDIT:

I almost forgot. "out/ramdisk/2ndROM" is for the ROM stored in your SD card, so you have to adjust the mount points there (already done in the one linked). "out/ramdisk/android" should be the "stock" ramdisk.

recovery will work only for the primary ROM in this case, maybe with some scripting you can make it works for both the ROMs, but I won't do it (if it's something possible).

The tools I posted will automatically take care of the additional ramdisk.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nick0016:
Possible to fix the download links? I want to boot rom from SD card since my internal is corrupted...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
I don't know what happened to the links, probably I deleted the files by mistake on dev-host. Sadly I no longer have them and I currently don't have the time to make them again.

Anyway, I suggest you to follow other guides in order to replace only the corrupted memory instead (we have two different memories). This one for example, but there are other guides probably.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nick0016:
Thanks for your answer, problem is that my "device" memory is corrupted (as in read only).

I did the SD / USB storage swap but still have the problem that I cannot run/remove/install. So I need a ROM that loads completely from the external SD card and also uses it for data/storage...

I can flash a rom/kernel without problems, but changing version makes it only worse because the data does not get erased (background/applications/settings.... stays the same everytime, even after a wipe from the recovery).

If it helps I would love to pay/donate money to you as a thanks for your help and effort because the phone itself is working fine (except the corrupted memory of course) and would like to use it again :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
The guide I linked is fine then.

It explains how to repartition your SD card and the script Dipu K attached to his post is to use the newly created partition inside your external SD for /data. It's not to swap internal and external SD.

As I said, we have two memories, /data is in one, /system, kernel and other things are in the other memory. The corrupted one must be the one which holds /data.

Try to do as explained in the guide, if the problem persists, I'll see what I can do to help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nick0016:
I followed the guide and got the Device memory replaced (data partition). Problem is now it is stuck in at boot because the partition is empty.... and when I copy the files from the corrupted data partition it boots fine but get message that I must wipe my data or the system will be unstable (which is correct because I get then flooded with unexpected errors which make it unusable). But formatting data partition gives stuck @ samsung boot logo??

So I need to get the "factory" data files from somewhere... I am running stock KPE ROM with BAM kernel (for init.d support).

Is it possible to extract the data partition from the stock rom?!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
The content of /data is generated, there's nothing like what you asking for.

Maybe the problem is that the script posted in the guide copies the content of the old /data partition to the new partition inside the SD card. Wiping data shouldn't work because the path to the SD card is not specified.

Try the script attached. I zipped it to be able to upload it here, but it's not flashable. Since you've been able to follow the guide I assume you know how to use adb.

Wipe the content of the data partition you created inside you SD card (/dev/block/mmcblk1p2). You could reformat it with make_ext4fs, use a computer and so on. What's important is that it's ext4 formatted.

While in recovery, run:

adb shell mount /system
adb shell mkdir -p /system/etc/init.d/
adb push [I]PATH_TO[/I]/remount_data /system/etc/init.d/
adb shell chmod 777 /system/etc/init.d/remount_data

I'm sorry, but I currently don't have much free time to help more than this. With no logs or access to the device it's really hard for me to know what's the problem.

That's exactly what happend to me, I bought it from Hong Kong a screen replacement and the colour depth is wrong, sometimes it looks like it's only 256 colours when viewing pictures.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] floepie:
I see in the extensive well-respected TechRadar review that the silver sample they have has a metal silver backing, or so they claim. It's mentioned both in the intro as well as in the "verdict". I had the opportunity to see the silver version myself first hand, and it sure felt like metal to me, even a bit on the cold side. Though, I can't seem to verify this anywhere, as there are reports that all versions have plastic rears. Anyone with a silver version care to chime in?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sevenmad:
Hi,

This is an issue which im not finding any answers too anywhere. My previous attempts all failed making me try again and wait hopefully.

After i upgraded to ics (= CWM9 Beta1 of course) i have lost my ability to use Wifi... that means that when i turn on my wifi on the phone it doesnt find my connection.

Wifi is a must and this is strange why there isnt an answer to this question. What must i do to get my wifi up and running or at least find where the problem lays? I asked my ISP support so that they MIGHT be able to help but the dude on the line said that it seems ics isnt very good at wifis... i dont know if he was right or not but this definitely isnt a wide spread issue since internet search didnt show me anything much and it doesnt seem to be a complex problem either (i might be wrong). So please help me if you can.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bbmadzky:
The general section is the right place to post this kind of question and I guess you've already posted there a thread asking on a "how to" and have replied a thread on where you can find tons of information.

Basically, you need to flash your phone to a better baseband XXLM6 or XXLM8 to which will help you fix your wifi problem. Find a stock ROM with that baseband. Use the given thread I suggested in your other post.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sevenmad:
