I have the 830

[sahib lopez]

Hmm, thanks for the tip but doesn't T-Mobile only run on LTE band 4 (1700/2100MHz)? The RM-984 only supports bands 1, 3, 7, 8 and 20.

I have the 830 that runs on T-Mobile lte bands and it's really good I get 20 up and 3 down.

I get better results with my 820!

I get better results than that on my 830 and on another thread the 830 beats the 820 by 20 points

So my 928 it's getting this on the benchmark test. I still want the 830 but am just curious why it's so much different.

My opinion? I think that is a sign of a crappy benchmark. I don't trust it.

Well my 920 scores better than some of the basemark scores posted here, only place where the 920 lags is in the system score but overall it still wins. The 830's performance should improve once it receives firmware updates, but then so would the 920 :-/

Wow I'm so very confused now

I may suggest that we may find overall CPU performance falls a little behind S4 while GPU performance beats S4. And on a 28nm process, it will run WAY cooler and be WAY more battery efficient. There is no way I would consider the S400 inferior to the S4.

I'm confused by the numbers too, but using the 830 it does feel faster. Most apps load faster on startup and resume, a few exceptions like the NFL are just horrid on start up. Comparing it against my 920 its lighter, thinner, better camera and SD card slot, for me it was worth getting.

Well GPU performance still falls below the S4 in the 920 but yes, the 28nm might make the phone run cooler and batter efficient. Either way I am still debating on whether to get the 830 or not, I would be coming from a pentaband 920

Based on what?
http://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benc...0+(RM-820,+RM-821,+RM-822)&testgroup=lowlevel
920 running GFXBench 2.5 Egypt HD C24Z16 scored 1136 on the offscreen test. The 830 scored 1145.

It also scored 1737 in the onscreen test, vs the 920 at 1550.

I am seeing about the same score in Antutu.

So, like I said a week or so ago, Adreno 305 seems to match or beat the Adreno 225.

Based on the basemark II results posted here

this is what I get

That benchmark looks like junk to me. Highly inconsistent results across very similar hardware is a HUGE red flag.

That's why I do not post any benchmark results here. I ran the benchmark but the results were inconsistant. What matters to me is the real performance when you use it.

[kevm14]

And it sounds like the real performance is very good!

Benchmarks are just guidelines, not the ultimate, single deciding factor. They're very specific, but they do give hints.

I've been spending the past 2 hours trying to get my Microsoft Account to sync -_-. Everything else with the device seems to be fine. I've tried everything I've found on the web to fix this but there isn't much info about it. It's error code 800704CF.

I've given up and am now trying a hard reset.

*EDIT: The weird thing is that it loaded all my settings and downloaded all my apps automatically. But my Microsoft and Twitter accounts are forever trying to sync. Any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of, including changing date/time settings.

*EDIT 2: Turns out I just had to be patient. It literally takes a few hours for everything to finish syncing. Just a heads up in case you run into the same problem. Everything is working flawlessly! I love my orange Lumia 830 :excited:

Remove, then add the accounts perhaps.

Can you pls post some day light and low light samples from the rear camera pls ?

Thanks, but you can't remove the main Microsoft Account connected with the phone. The problem has been solved though. As I indicated in the edited post, I just had to be patient. Apparently it takes hours for your Microsoft Account to syncronise on initial setup. Keep that in mind if you're restoring all your previous settings, apps, etc.

Everything is up and running perfectly :amaze:

It has OIS right? Could you do a test video? And does it have PureView oversampling? If yes then how about a pic?
