Well should I buy it,is it worth?
My biggest concern is that SE doesn't updates android or flash or something important for the OS.
And yes I'm a noob,never used an android.
So..tell me..does the community makes some updates?
I know there are roms,for changing looks..and is that all,does it just changes the looks or it updates the software and makes it better?
Well thank you in advance dear gentleman.
Well, I'm no going to type out a whole list but the final answer from me in my opinion is:
YES!
Leave a thanks if I helped!
Well mate...your a senior member. And I believe you,still does the community have the knowledge to make this phone awesome always.
I mean in 2 years..I don't have the funds to buy a new phone every little time?
But also, thank you!

Yes, the community has the power!
We have many great developers here on the X8 forums! Including doixanh!
He has amazing roms!
I do recommend you root your phone because most things on here nowadays need root or to have a ROM installed
Shane,
Thanks
Leave a thanks if I helped!
The X8 has many advantages
- Awsome community that develops for it.
-Its a nice phone
I can list lots of more stuff
I am very happy with my X8

The x8 is a very good phone and the dev's here work very hard to keep our x8 Up to date in looks and software I have 2.3.7 with ice cream sandwich looks. And besides that my wife spent £300 on Samsung galaxy ace but my x8 gets higher score in quadrant. So yes get a x8 root it then flash a custom rom. You will be happy

Don't make that mistake !!
Am begging you ..
There are plenty of great phones out there
x8 has lost SE's concern !
THEY FORGOT IT !!
if you're gonna buy a phone
i suggest you buy the Xperia mini ..
not the x10 mini ..
the XPERIA MINI ..
a Great little phone for a great PRICE..
..
For me now ..
i have the iphone4
And that phone has blown my mind ..
so if i were you ..
x8 .. is never a choice ..
..
Thants only my opinion though ..
and BTW
The xperia mini is getting the ICS from SE
the x8 .. is not
Duh ..
what a Failure
Make.forget ..
well if u can afford i suggest u go for some other brands,but since ur new to android i guess u shud giv it a try,cos xda has great developers,and u can choose which one u prefer
I think you should really consider the newer models like Xperia Mini mentioned above.
NO! In capitals!
go for mini it should be better ... but x8 has a better community tho
Well I will wait a couple of days..maybe my network will also have the xperia mini in the offer,they said new models will arrive in this week!
They dont have it now...
We have great development that devolop for us but now the era of ics us coming...well our phone is obsolete. Even some dev's have left us cuz the x8 is old. In other words yes for community and no cuz its now a peice of crap stuck to se's shoes
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Don't buy it.. It was good for the price when it was out but now it's old and slow.
Add a little more money to your budget and buy a phone that was released in 2011 (this is important if you want version updates from the manufacturer)..
For 130€ you can buy a gingerbread 1ghz + 512MB ram phone.. Upgradable to ICS.. That's only 30€ more from what i've paid for the x8..

Guys, remember that SE chose not to update old phones just like many other companies, which lead to a OS fragmentation. That's why google made an alliance with many manufacturers (including SE) that makes them update their phones at least 3 times with a major distro. This only applies to phones released after the alliance (2011). I'm not saying that SE is a good company, but if you buy a new phone from them today, it will get updated..
The phone i was referring to in my previous post was actually a SE one, not xperia but walkman.. SE Live with Walkman, which is being sold for 130€ in my country.
Same as the X8 but with:
1Ghz Scorpion CPU (which is ARMv7)
Adreno 205 GPU (Hardware-accelerated SVG and Adobe Flash)
512MB RAM
5 MP camera WITH autofocus and flash (records 720p video)
Stereo xLoud speakers (yes, speakers.. but also includes earphones of course)
Native wifi N
With gingerbread (upgradeable to ICS)

Guys you see,my network provider doesn't have so much phones to choose!
You can see here wat phones do they have..also it will get updated..I mean new phones will arrive in the next few days,so Im waiting!
Link:
mtel(dot)ba/menu/1949 Just scroll down!
Still x8 is waiting for me if I dont choose some other phone!
And you see I cant afford a expensive one..I got a budget about 120-160 dollars!
I wanna thank everybody (boys, girls, developer, etc) here at galaxy mini forum for their great support. It was a pleasure to be a active member here at the mini forum.
I changed to Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. So there wont be that much i will do here at mini forum. But I wont forget you and still look around what the mini section is doing.

No not yet. But as I don't need it no more I will sell it.
The Sony was offered here in Germany for 149 euro. That's a good price.
And since there are some parts on mini i actually don't like much and are far better at the sony phone, i took the chance and replaced it.

Absolutely right.... but the new Galaxy III is amazing !!!!
I will buy either a SGS3 or a Huawei Ascend D Quad.
i`m waiting for the latest announced Sony Xperia P to see what`s on with it...I love how they look like and the dual [email protected] sounds pretty good
Can't say for sure but I guess it will be SGS3, just waiting for a detailed final design to look at...
S3 or S4
HTC one X or SGS 3
Hi everybody. I've already checked the various threads but the answers don't satisfied me. I want the Samsung Galaxy s Advance and I've the chance to buy it for 250 euros. The device is perfect for what I have to do (the only drawback is the RAM, because I wanted it to be 1 gb). Anyway, my question is: is it good to buy it now? I fear that it will not be upgraded anymore. I've another question: should I wait for new devices coming at the MWC? Any release date? My budget is limited to 250 euros.
Thanks in... advance
Sorry for my bad English
Look Bro.... SGSA may not be that popular or might have some bugs but what it does have is a damn good processor and gpu
...... Given the price range..... Also we have a small but good developer team which have released kernel and roms which are brilliant...... Also SGSA HAS RECEIVED JB update and it runs like butter....
This is all I can say the rest is up to you as you are the one who is gonna buy it not us.... But if you buy this device you won't regret that you invested in this piece
IF I HELPED PRESS THANKS!!

thanks. I think I'll get the Advance. So I hope xda developers will continue rocking on this device!
I don't mean to discourage you or anything but if you are looking for a phone with atleast 1 GB RAM then you do have an option to get S3 Mini instead... its 250 EUR now and it has the "same" hardware as the Galaxy S Advance - only thing that differs is that this device has 1 GB of RAM.. and S Advance has 768 MB instead...
PS: The 4.1.2 update for S Advance may be the "last" official update from Samsung... but on other side the S3 Mini may even get 5.0 update..
But I'm SATISFIED with my S Advance... if you do the "proper" Tweaks and Modifications then this phone might get too fast for you to handle
Warning: If you are planning to buy a Galaxy S Advance then make sure its i9070 and NOT i9070p... The "P" version is the NFC version - here on XDA only one developer has this and that too is bricked... so you might not get any dev support if you own a i9070p!!

I Think we might get future updates....as our device is equivalent to S3 mini......and it is a recent release also!!
if S3 Mini can be updated(i am asuming it will go to 4.2 or larger) i dont see a reason why our model wont be?
But that is just MY perspective!
Don't buy it if you expect development.
It's a solid performer but nothing more. I came here from a ****ty, low-end htc device that had more development done in a month than SGSA since it had it's own subforum on xda.
So for the time being you can choose from:
1. JB update X or JB update Y - both provided by our hefty russian branch :>
2. two custom kernels which do have some bugs and glitches (but hey, nothing's perfect right?)
Device was released nearly a year ago. Do the math.
The only reason i would recommend you to avoid samsung smartphones is problem with keeping dialer and sms applications locked in RAM. So far i have not seen the device (from ancient devices like spica or i5500 to s3) that manage this properly without custom rom (@official samsung software dev's wtf?). So i would probably go for LG/Sony

Neither s3 mini or s advance will get 5.0 that much is assured. Only note 2 and s3 have the hardware to run such a hefty(I'm assuming after seeing the RAM eaten by JB) so it doesn't really matter whether s3 mini or the advance is depends on personal preference only!

I don't we will get 5.0 update.. maybe S2 may not also get it.. S2 and our phone may get 4.2 update and that would be it!
But I'm just guessing.. the rest depends on Google and Samsung
discussion about future OS's is almost irrelevant for this topic. you cannot expect from any mid range phone to support many future os's so this won't help him with his dilemma. IMO only relevant thing could be that samsung usually don't support AT ALL models older than approx. 1 year, in favor of selling newer, more expensive models. which is not the case with some other manufacturers

It doesn't really matter what updates will samsung release, that I've learned while owning an original Galaxy S. The last fw officially relased to it was GB 2.3.6. Right now it rocks Jelly Bean 4.2 stable. (yes, of course CyanogenMod ^^)
It's quiet an old device, but still, the dev support is amazing! And do you know why it's possible? Firstly, sales. More than 10 million sold. More popular device means more devs, usually. Secondly, it's hardware is identical to Google's Nexus S which received an official Jelly Bean and that means source codes released in timely manner to work with!
As for the S Advance, the only problem is popularity. It was an awful mistake to release it with gingerbread instead of already long available ICS. This repels users, who are interested in tinkering with their phone. This means only those few people (and to whom I thank their efforts) are here and capable to do anything with development for our device. Honestly, the list of roms and kernels are short.
On the other hand the chipset is quiet popular and I'm sure other handsets with the same chipset will help somewhat to keep this device up to date for as long as possible.
Cheers!
Hi everybody!
I am a fully satisfied Galaxy Wonder I8150 user, however - since I found an offer for the Galaxy S Advance I9070 for about 200€ - I am thinking about changing my phone.
What would you suggest?
Are you happy with the I9070?
I am a bit worried that you do not have many ROMs available - while I8150 has plenty of them and good developers, just to name one, arco! - and it seems to me that the I8150 is not very widespread...
Opinions and discussions are more than welcome, tx.
The number 1 advantage in s advance is good value for money and good specs for that price. If specs are your only concern try s3mini . It may be costlier but has more ram. As regards s advance, now after Jb update development has picked up and we do have at 3 least good custom ROMs and other mods. CM10 official may come soon and there will be more ROMs based on it.
But if you are buying a phone now look for something newer as Samsung mostly won't release next android update for advance

@ Sadvance: I surely agree with the fact that I9070 seems to be good value for money.
I would go for S3 mini (although I prefer the design of I9070 actually!) but paying 100€ more for having 1GB Ram instead of 768MB is not justifiable imho.
Are there other significant differences between S3 mini and I9070 (I cannot find any other)?
@R_a_z_v_a_n: what do you mean?
Should I look for the P version since it also has NFC reader?
Or should I look for the normal (i.e. NOT P version) because it seems to be more widespread?
Tx a lot.
Hi guys, you know what? I just sold my xperia sp for 160 euros :/ , im happy and sad at same time, its time to say you goodbuy :/ Thanks for all help to me guys, everyone .....Now i need only one thing.....

Get yourself a OnePlus One

Actually 349.00 USD = 252.393 EUR
so you can buy QuadCore 2.5Ghz Krait CPU, Adreno330 GPU phone with 3Gb of RAM and 64Gb of internal memory
and still having 47.717 EUR in your pocket

EDIT: S4 sorry
I have owned 1 android phone to date . Nokia diehard fan previously...
But in this country, I am always (and I mean always!) bumping into samsung users, so much so that I almost feel embarrassed holding a sony:silly:
And I'll probably "inherit" an S3 from my daughter when she changes phone in July...
[and join you to say goodbye to this nice forum too]
So S4 is my vote
