btw, did you get the notification or you're doing a forced update? cause i have not got the notification for 8107 till now
No backup required..and how would you even backup ? esp contacts and SMS ? there is no way to do it as of now. (if it is , let me know) So just update and enjoy
) Nice!
(hated the phone for this).
And some benchmarking apps too! I want to test this baby a bit!

why not sync your symbian phone with outlook, export a csv and import to hotmail
(my last phone was nokia 5800)
Thanks will check
i thought it will work with facebook or gtalk too
Please tell me how much is the risk (same as in Android) or more?
I am planning to install a custom ROM on my friends HTC Mozart. I will follow this guide: Flash Custom Windows Phone 7 ROMs To Your HTC 7 Mozart [How To Guide]
And this is the list of custom ROMs: 7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development - xda-developers
I need help in selecting a good ROM, since I don't have experience in WP7 rooting etc.
Anyway.. I will figure out.
Vyom I have no idea abt ROMs for wp7.5 ....if u figure it out please update here
yeap! already bought a couple of apps n games via my SBI International Debit Card.
You can try adding it at Marketplace and then check..
Absolutely. Even the normal Axis debit card works
I thought this thread was "Windows Phone" thread!
nopes.. it won't work.. that is why I got their new International Debit Card which has a CVV and is accepted as a credit card @ WP Marketplace.
, the UI is different/new; thats what made me buy it, liked it at first, but now feels too minimalistic, not enough apps, persistent problems with data(mobile internet) and the lack of file transfer via bluetooth.
@Ricky:
That list is true to a large extent!
And sadly because of those reasons, I don't think WP7 can ever be accepted by a true geek. But the point is, WP7 is not meant to either. It's being targeted to a completely different genre of customers (aka non geeks). And hence can't really be comparing the two completely different platforms.
) infact the windows 6.5 came to me bcz its owner was freaked out and he sold it to me .. I have also used symbian (one is still lying with me and works as backup phone) ..
Hi All,
Sugget some good apps and games for Nokia Lumia 710
Thanks a lot for the prompt responses
@ssk: Does nokia maps have comparable detail level? especially the bus stops (thats the one that bothers me the most)
Anyways I guess its a redundant question now that I know I can use google's maps on WP. Waiting for the WP8.
you see these are the kinds of specs that i want to hear in high end phone and without any restrictions, it should go all the way to satisfy consumer in every way unlike the previous gen windows phones. Microsoft did a good thing by removing restrictions on hardware.
u have a point ....only samsung can put a dual core under 10k ...lets wait...or may be we will have a nokia S40 dual core under 10kor may be we will have a nokia S40 dual core
....Funbook and my omnia W have almost same specs I think.
but it's about the hardware restrictions of microsoft , they might remove the restriction but current plan is wp 7.8 for 10k phones
ls: ls: :fingercrossed:
what to do?
Not worth buyibg now as it won‘t support WP8
I meant the US prices.

40K is slightly higher, equal to galaxy note 2 and nearing iPhone 5. How 920 would hope to sell while competing with Note 2
No one really cares about that.
That's what the case is with Windows Phone 8.
The Android we see in the phones are heavily modified, bloatware, kernel modifications, various modified Skins, launchers, UIs, widgets,
true power of smartphone OS & ecosystem lies within the apps & services apart from the hardware, camera etc. because the phone has lot things like Camera, GPS Sensor, 3G/4G Internet Speeds, Large Display Screen, powerful hardware, users tend exploit the machine for just more than basic things, they want to listen to music, watch videos, check weather, news, mails, take notes, browse, social networking, sharing content, read books, play lots of games, reminding them of appointments.
seriously no.I'm telling my friend to get a Lumia 800. Hope there will be no problems with the device.
He wanted a BlackBerry.

a better candidate to compare with WP8 would be iOS 5 (than Android) in case of stability, responsiveness, user experience. Android again has lot of things which makes it much different, which i mentioned earlier.
Finally some sense.
galaxy s3 brand is pretty much dominating mobile space right now, regardless of advantages/disadvantages Samsung Galaxy Series phone are pummeling every other competition be it other Android models or iOS. Despite India being strong market for Nokia i don't see high end smartphone making good sales for them to regain their share because of android. for India, best bet is mid to lower & low end segment models priced attractively.
despite the jump in sales, even Nokias own Symbian market share, Samsungs Bada OS and collapsing Blackberry have better share than Windows.
Dude, no offence but samsung galaxy isn't doing remotely what it is expected to do, other than breaking some random-ass world records of finding the pockets of unprepared thanks to flurry of advertisements that absolutely mean nothing, *designed for humans* Uh?
Of course, you don't expect a resolution to your problem here, do you?
not just S3 there are many phones that are competing with 920, Xperia S/SL/Ion, HTC One X+, Galaxy Note 2, Optimus G. wait for sometime there will be Google Nexus 4.
Obviously while talking about apps in WP8, I'm talking about the quality of apps and the number of useful apps. Nowhere close to Android/iOS in any of these. Still no IRC client? And guess what, the one which I tried once in WP7.x (friend's Lumia 800) can't idle properly in background. Multitasking? pfft.
More people than people using a WP device.

Next, WP has a lamearse web browser.
It will come only in early 2013 as per the latest news...
It is the best windows phone so the wait is worth. HTC is always overpriced in india, so it can cost 35K Lumia 920 costing same or less is always a better option
Why Nokia using poor audio chip

I did. It is good. But i kinda like the previous tile and stuff. May be i am reluctant to change
I accidentally deleted my lumia 800 in 'my phone' at windowsphone.com
Now howmany times i am trying to add it back, it just never happens. I have connected the 'find my phone' in phone settings. and logged in the site wiwth same windows live id. clicking on the link of 'My Phone' or 'Find My Phone' is not taking me to anywhere.
How to add my phone ?
oh let me try.
Visit Nokia care asap. WP never has such freezing issues.^
too much trouble from the day one when bought this.....
i have written the weird problem about my phone, like hangs, freezes, automatically opens app, swaps etc. ..... after taking to nokia care, they just updated the software to 7.8 and said it will be ok. But it is not. Now days it is more problematic than before. How and where to demand for a replacement?
Brand New Nokia Lumia 900 Matte Black At&t 4G LTE Windows Unlocked Smartphone | eBay
It has nothing to do with the bandwidth. read the complete post.
Ther eis a Lumia 810 too
^^
26.5 at croma.
I remember seeing it as low as 25.something at ebay.
I found a seller on ebay selling the 920 at 34.7K. But he doesnt offer a bill. Instead the buyer will receive the warranty card with the sellers seal, which he claims is enough to claim warranty should the need arise.
Is he right?

Update: Ordered a black Lumia 920 from FK
Got my Lumia too. Will review once I can use this handset properly
First thoughts: Good looking handset (matte black), slightly on the heavier side, feels "solid" as a result. Beautiful screen, very legible in bright light (will check sunlight legibility and report later). Dont like the new windows logo at the centre, the one on the Lumia 800 is cooler. Also the new logo lights up a tiny bit too bright for my liking (No-one else had any such opinion though). Yeah I am nit-picking. Lovely packing, even prettier 3-pin charger thats shaped like a half inch slice taken out from a 1.5 inch diameter white cylinder. That extra "wasted" space at the bottom is surprisingly useful.
No $ sign as default, its the rupee sign, can be changed of course. Maps for Karnataka and Kerala together take up only about 150MB. Total usable space is about 26G, which makes the 8X seem even more cramped. Good speakers at first sight , decent bass reproduction for a phone. It might be because my friend has setup her beats wrong or something (if thats possible, IDK) but I prefer the sound output from the 920 over my basic earphones.
More coming up later today
Man, why use local plastic on such a beautiful phone?
No, it wont.
@Shah : Currently its 1.23G. Will keep an eye on it.
And some more updates (I have been using the phone quite a lot):
If you are used to google maps you are gonna be dissapointed. Nokia drive is currently not the slickest mapping/navigation solution around. Compared to Google maps app on android, I find the lack of the following two features almost criminal/ridiculous:
1) Inability to rotate the maps: Yes, you cannot rotate the maps. Now you might want to know why would I make such a big fuss about this, afterall the navigation solutions are meant to be best used from the "driving" point of view right (the one where you are always at a fixed position on the screen and the direction you are heading towards is the "upside") ? and the Drive launches in the driving view by default...That brings me to the next issue...
2) Fickle-minded maps direction-sensing : When you walk towards an intersection, there is a very good chance that Nokia drive will think that you are taking a left/right when you are just following the straight path. It takes a few seconds (anywhere from 3-7 seconds) to get it back right about your direction. This may not have been such an issue if it were not for the other issue that I mentioned above. The change in direction as perceived by the app (wrongly, of course) is followed with a rotation of the "view" making this new direction the "upside". And a few seconds later it switches the view again as it finally realises its folly. This quick rotation of the maps is so acutely dis-orientating that its almost a deal breaker for me. If I had the choice of using google maps here, I'd gladly do so. Let me put this no uncertain terms - Nokia map is buggy. And very annoying at times.
These bugs combined with the fact that you cant rotate/lock the maps to point n a true N-S direction makes for a very formidable reason to just stop using Drive if you can.
And on a couple of occasions I did see false locks. Once, the app swore I was about 10km away from where I actually was. Of course it corrected itself in a few seconds again, but I did see a proper "lock" about 10km from me.
I also find the lack of movable bubbles at the endpoints of a path very unhelpful. It was one of those features that I loved about google maps, the ability to change your endpoints just by tapping and holding on the screen and moving the bubble/s to a new position. And the lack of a "scale" doesnt help WP either.
I have finally achieved the impossible: to get WP to lag. Yes, you heard that right. Again it was Nokia Drive. I pressed the back button to quit Drive and nothing happened. I thought I had missed the button and was about to press it again when all of a sudden I was at the homescreen. I have since found it lightly lagging in a couple of other occasions both times when browsing the marketplace. I pressed to open up the description of an app and nothing happens - and after abt 3 seconds it immediately reaches the description page. But then again, it could be because of the fact that I was on a lousy 3G connection as well.
On the brighter side I am now getting the feeling that the battery life is improving, although it could simply be because I am using it less intensively...
There you go.
Update:
I take back part of what I said above. Tapping and holding at a point in Nokia Maps lets you choose it as the start or end of a journey. Though I'd still vote for Google's movable location bubbles, this indeed is what a good part of my gripe was about. And luckily Maps doesnt suffer from the random-direction-syndrome mentioned above. So thats something to lift my spirits
Thanks
Can anyone please clear this confusion of mine?
.....WP7.5 is good enough , but I want file explorer and bluetooth transfer too
^^
There are a lot more apps now, comparatively, buddy
yeah there are a few major names missing like instagram, pulse, flipboard etc but there are a lot of people who dont use them too...
Its a bug, not fixed yet and is a curse for HTC 8S users as they have only 4GB of internal memory.
Win OS is a lot more optimized than Android, but 768MB would have been better, and Nokia lost the game a long time back, as long as MS haven't fixed the others storage bug, any Win phone with less than 16GB memory is not a good choice.
FantasticOther storage bug fix is coming. Cheer up guys.

I went today at a major retailer and and he said all the 20 handsets he received yesterday are sold out on first day. And please post source.. ASAP.
Sorry, I was browsing from Mobile. That's why I didn't post the Source. Maybe, a google search would have fetched you that.Huh?? This is surprising
Lumia 620 shipping with updated firmware also has new Storage management options | Windows Phone Central
You're welcome
Definiely better than all cheap android phones out out there.
.
Lumia 520 will be selling like hot-cakes because of its price, looks and UI. Most youngsters will buy it. There is no second thought on it. It's a nice move by Nokia India
EDIT: Flipkart is accepting pre-orders for Lumia 520 at 10,499 only. It's really VFM. It's one of the best phones in that range. But, It will have to face tough competition from Indian brands' products.
Now just wait for the phone to arrive on other websites to use discount coupons
Post some pics too. BTW, What color have you bought??
Same thing here. For some reason, i like Windows over Android.not yet released even
so i need a new phone asap
@pranav u r right...even my omnia w have gorrila glass but the 1st thing i did is put scratch guard
Same here
Source?
Because GSMarena thinks its a decent camera for the price.
I'm not that concerned about the Camera. As I don't use Phone Camera much. But for casual shoots it's fine for me. And for some serious things I always have Sony P&S
Hi there, meet the Lumia 920
Lot better than iPhone4s , I noticed.
Strange!!!! My lumia 820 dosen't do that. Does this phenomenon occurs always or at random interval.

I saw Lumia 520 unboxing video in Youtube, there were no back panels inside the box.
Anyway Nokia got the pricing right this time 
Nokia pricing is awesome this time...520-10.5k 620-14k 720-18k 820-22k ....but 920 is still costly
A few applications other then previous said ones are -
Lockscreen style - create custom lock screens
flashlight-x - for led torch
gmap - for superb maps of google..work only online
private lite - for locking photo and video
16k is fair deal and seems true VFM
If it is true, My next device will be a L720 irrespective of its RAM.
Something is Fishy!
yeah..after 7.5% discount its 15.2k
i doubt this
Lets wait and watch.
i hope 720 is on its way too! i will wait till it comes out
Will try and get my 520 today
Any color recommendations ?
anyways covers are changeable so no problem
I'll probably get white. Cyan seems to be the most popular color for Lumia's though.
Anyway changeable covers so I'll get whatever is available !!
but dont you think...it will get dull soon... we will be using phone everywhere and white get dirty fast
Yep white will get dirty. Thats why I am thinking of the red or cyanyup my mom likes white colour too
Yep white will get dirty. Thats why I am thinking of the red or cyan
I like all!!!
Yep white will get dirty. Thats why I am thinking of the red or cyan

Maybe in cities, today.
Definitely. First comes the new OS, and then the features.
Since most of the Lumia's are 512 MB RAM Devices, they will do it eventually. Good news for WP8 (512MB) gamers..
guys what do you think about it now?

Yes. It's advisable to buy after a week of the market launch, to check for any problems from the first buyers.
Windows Phone 8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anyone has any coupon codes for snapdeal ? was thinking of getting the 820 from there
1) No.
2) No.
3) Was amongst the first things I disabled, hence no idea.
4) No idea, never tried.
5) Havent tried.
6) True, but not alarming as people make it for me. Nokia has an app to solve this thats already released in the US, so will be here anytime. Not worried
7) I get Gmail, i have set it to auto sync every 30 minutes though.
8) Dont know. Nokia drive sometime crashes at alunch if data is enabled in the options but a connection is not available. Fix is to simply disable data before launching the app. Not a strctly reprodicible crash though.
I am talking about windows phone 8 firmware update. WP8 usre can update their devices by Nokia care or Nokia software for retail.
Lame-Yeah!
Whoa! I already am happy with my battery life pre-update. How many hours were you getting earlier and under what level of usage and how many are you getting post update?
Also, how did you update?
EDIT: just checked and see update is available for mine as well. However I'll wait before downloading to see how is the public response
, 5-6 full-loud missed calls etc )
I find my phone easily lasts a day of moderate usage involving a good number of text messages. If used a little sparingly like today lasts a lot longer (46% remaining after 21 hours- Constant wifi, some 40 messages in total, roughly 1.5 hrs of music via earphones, some 10 minutes of maps, constant email sync and checking it too, some 7 different alarms
I keep wifi on largely as I am connected to it both at home and office.
GPS on as its inside the settings to disable it.
Few application that I choose are allowed to run in the background like Drive, BBC news, Engadget and Collector
Hardly use mobile data unless I am travelling. If so always set to 3G.
Automatic brightness.
Battery saver on only if I am low on battery like 20% or so.

Its been 1 day 10 hours and my battery is still 69% remaining
Thats very impressive
I'm being very tempted to update, but I'll wait for a week or so
Also, can you clarify that your Battery saver was "on" but not active? As in you had the setting set to on, but it wasnt active and you had no "the heart icon on top of the battery" ?
My battery update: I slept off, with the charge at 33% after some 23 hours. When I woke up, Battery saver had kicked in the phone was showing 12% left after a day and 12 hours, but there hadn't been any real activity in the last 12 hours except some 4 missed calls and wifi and location services being on. Just plugged it in
In general under moderate-high use the phone looses about 4% every hour when messaging promptly (7-8 outgoing message every hour and the associated screen on times of say 10 minutes or so), wifi on, some 4 apps running background jobs, location on, email syncing (and the associated screen on times of say 5 minutes) and the like with occasional music (screen on roughly 3 minutes ?). In less intensive use I have see it consume as little as just under 2% every hour with the wifi , location and the background services still on. Major Battery hogs are Maps/Drive and screen/browsing (obviously).
Went to that thread and put up a scathing comment like I miss data sense. I lied.
And I voted for your comment.
... Now it's out of my budget
Lumia 720 listed on flipkart for 18500 INR .. So I guess only a few lucky people got it @ 15.5k on ebay
The listing has ended. 15.5k is after applying coupons..
That seller's customer ratings are not great
It would be nice if it gets a price cut before I purchase.
So, With a little bit of bargaining, We can hope to get it for 17k. Have decided to get it by late-May or early-June.
i asked about it from nokia priority guys yesterday they said its not released yet WTG!
i cant even download the files which my friends sended so damn pissed with it i use the frequently
Lumia 520 seems to have got a price cut atleast on FK...its 9999/- now...hoping to see one with 720 now...

I like WP8 over ICS, that I had previously in O1. I agree with what some has posted that white gets dirt quickly :\ but when its new, its the most graceful in looks. I'll change shell to lime green, heartd it costs 700 rs.
Seems that there is no real solution to other storage issue. The 'storage check' doesn't really clear files in 'other'. My 'other is 1.3 gigs, but Im not bothered right now. Let's hope the future MS updates will address issue. And we badly need Data Sense or some other app... I don't come to know where the MBs are gone after I suddenly notice balance has become zero..

So Nokia has a global product launch in Delhi tomorrow. I'm hoping it isn't a much-improved Asha. Please please please be the Lumia 928.
Btw there is no interlop unlock for wp8 devices yet right
Wikipedia said:
When you copy a folder with 10 songs to your mobile, both "Music + Videos" & "Nokia Music Player" will show 20-30 songs (same song repeating over 2-3 times) when you play th album. I've googled and found it's a BUG in WP8. One possible solution that i read was turning off the " Xbox Music cloud collection " in Music + Videos settings. But this " Xbox Music cloud collection " option is region-specific, so we (India-based-Lumias) won't have this option, if am right..
I wonder why you din't encounter it, till?

What really am looking forward is way to regain memory from "Other storage".
On another note,Windows Phone 8.1 in testing : windowsphone
Lumia storage check app just shows the memory occupied by the media & apps in Phone memory and SD card. It just provide an option for clearing "Temporary files", but that's not helping in reducing "Other storage" memory. Infact, there's no fix for "Other memory" as of now. There are suggestions for switching-off the Cloud upload & clearing IE history but that accounts for only meagre amount.

For a moment i thought, it's actually been from Google. :/
3D view is amazing. Had a free tour to Taz mahal.
Oh bad :/Yes, It was, for a limited time, seemingly a mistake from Nokia, I tried downloading it, hit a store error halfway into the free download. Then when I restarted, the free game was gone

Bought Lumia 520 for dad yesterday as a Father's day gift.
Now I am scratching head for somethings and trying to find answers for some. But since I have an experience of using Windows phone 7 before, it's not all too new for me.
Any app for increasing the battery time of L520, gives about 10 hours on extensive 3G use.. Works great without data connection..
And any app for freeing memory, like some task killer??

No. Let the OS manage it, the only thing you hsve to do is not let maps keep running (not the background service, thsts fine just the app- exit it when you are done. Same with some games)
Android has corrupted you
Serious pain, need to recharge my cell twice in a day..
Yes. Came 2 days ago.Tapatalk is now on Windows Phone too

Should I remove that from my dad's Lumia 510? Since battery don't last even 2 days. Although Wifi could also be the problem. (?).

It was there already, but for 1GB version. And then, came for all - but not to India. Now, its for 512 MB devices and also for India..
Link is blocked in my office
Same to me, maybe because of 512MB RAM?And temple run on 520 runs smooth. But misses out on some swipes to jump, causing the runner to die. Which making me angry.
If you have the moolah, nothing beats the 920.
But the range of prices that the phones you mentioned cover vary greatly. So TBH, the priciest one is most likely to be best choice for a person without budget restraints and the cheapest for the ones with the tightest budget (Here its the Lumia 620, although you might want to look at the Lumia 520 which is even cheaper at ~9.5k INR)
Also, if you are planning to buy a WP8 device, have a look at them first to see if it satisfies your needs. WP phones are very different from Android phones (The specifications between android phones and WP phones cannot be compared directly, no "free versions of paid games using cracked .apk" or no 'Temple Run 2' or 'Real racing 3')
In short, if you have any doubts, ask us. Don't jump headfirst into WP

You're late to the party. Welcome to the "Other storage owners club".
I've replied to you with a lengthy post. Can't find the thread now.
and has the same SoC as the 620...same gaming performance, same speed.
@gearbox..ill search ur post...
this digit forum should have a FB like Notification thing, where we are notified that we have been responded or replied etc etc
@Krishnandu...Is the 720 worth the purchase over 620. The 720 looks bulky
How is the battery and camera quality difference between the two? And these two are mere Rs2000 apart in price
By the way, on a side note, my friend has a Lumia 520, brand new.Like 5 days old or so.
He dropped it while talking on the phone, the phone was pressed to his ear whaile talking so i guess that will be approx 5 feet6 inch height drop.
The screen smashed ...and he is holding the screen together with a strong Screen Cover. So sad for him. And the crack isnt like those long hard cracks u see in gorilla glass. Its actually shattered into tiny splinters, like a vehicles windshield shatters into small tiny glass pieces.
Lesson learned---> SAY NO IF NO GORILLA....
and not using a cover or protector either :/

Wow. So se*y!! I love Yellow & Red.
i liked the yellow one in the 1st look so bought it without thinking more
hm...almost every phone will shatter if dropped from such height@ujjwal : Guess the phone fell face down . 5+ feet drop is a LOT for a phone. usually phone are dropped from waist down height, chair height or table height, or in my case, bed height
@ Gearbox..cant find ur post..
I think my final decision will depend on the apps on Windows Marketplace. Ill do some research, see if my fav apps are there on Win 8.
Could anyone of u write down the good apps you are using on ur Win 8 phone..
WOW, yellow looks lovely. Never thought a yellow phone would be a good color for a phone
just check the pages you will find a list of important and necessary apps today my 3 months ovi subscription also expired
Rumours are that, Amber will be out on this month end or in August..
^ except for the camera part..
Microsoft has revealed details of its next Windows Phone 8 update, GDR2, but fans of the platform shouldn't expect a significant refresh of the OS until early 2014, new leaks suggest.
just installing it! excited
Yes. 1020 shines well in camera part than its predecessors..

*weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/epic-jackie-chan-template.pngAnother update for Whatsapp today. No changelog.
take lumia 900 for example .
You make it sound like I cant read up websites on my L920. Except for some games, there isnt anything missing from the marketplace from what you pointed out. L920 owner here and staying with WP as it stands
maybe some reason to neglect androids
you can read websites on ur L920 but not as good as iPhone / android . they can't compress data on cloud . some good feature like text wrap don't work which is pain is a**
.
yep they will stand because they paid 30k + for device and can't talk bad about it
just tell me one answer. did you recommend any lumia / BlackBerry device for Rs30k ? did they worth to spend + 30k ? if yes tell me the reason .
no offense . just joking@ankit ...I think battery life, lag on top end androids and extra large shirt pocket
Nokia have done well with camera, battery life is good in WP phones, Windows phones are total lag free , better built quality (IMO) and Nokia maps/guidance system is unmatchable
@ankit ...I think battery life, lag on top end androids and extra large shirt pocket

for common people I use the term hack everywhere
Wrong. Nokia express browser does data-compression. Anyways I dont care about this part IE is plenty for me even with the flash-support lacking. I can look up youtube and thats the only flash site I care about.
Text warp (reflow) doesnt work, agree. I never so far needed to do it, but then I dont browse much so I cant speak for everyone.
Yes. I recommend a L920 for 30k. Thats why I got it.
I'd recommend it at 37k, thats how much I paid for it. But not now - now would be the time to wait for the next wave of devices.
Its not like I didnt have choices. I did. Its not like I didnt know the android experience - I did.
I did my research, I know my usage patterns. I dont wish to root and stuff. I dont play much games. I didnt use whatsapp or flipboard (free msg offer is what I use for the ones I care dont always have net connectivity and therefore I NEED text messaging, whereas IM is just a value add-on). I wanted a fuss-free phone. And a stand-out device that shows me where my money went.
S3, S4 were ruled out because I positively hate their cheap looks and build. HTC One was on the horizon, but couldnt compete with the L920 on camera and audio and didn't really have anything else that made me favour it. The Xperia is too cold and feels like a fish to hold - glass on the back is a stupid design idea.
Then there is the Live tiles which I like a lot. And the monolithic design of WP. I am also a bit concerned on maps - personally preferred Google maps but offline search is a feature I have come to love (like I pointed out earlier I dont use data plans - its either wifi at work or home) Nokia maps looks a lot less detailed where I live, even though sometimes slightly inaccurate but it hasnt let me down yet and thats as good a test as any for usability. And I have the option of google maps anyways if I really need it (Use gmaps or google maps to search and find the location before you start and then use Nokia maps to route offline. Hell I can (and I have) even reroute offline without data because Nokia maps supports it should I unfortunately need to. Try beating that.)
So here is your answer : I recommend a L920 over any other phone if you have the cash to burn and your needs are met. Cant say about the BB10 devices - they are not for me, maybe for somebody else.
There is no absoluteness here. No pride or prejudice. L920 was the best phone for me, and it is for a lot of people. We dont give a damn about the number of cores you got.
L625 pictures are just leaked; so that means there's no official announcement on the phone itself.
I think I need to Hard Reset my phone
App Updates are not showing for me, it's been a month, App Updates doesn't appear in Live Tile.
Googled it, and came to know that, it's a Bug with MS Store and many users have faced this problem. There's no perfect fix, but few peoples have fixed it with Unpinning the Live Tile > Clear IE Cache > Soft Reset > Re-Pin Live Tile.
But the solution didn't worked for me. Called MS Support, and as usual for any problem they says "Hard Reset Your Phone"
Actually, it's one of the way.. I get updates daily (if there's any) by 7-8 PM.
Nokia maps seems better sometimes..Its still not as accurate as google maps. Just nitpicking
From personal experience.
Nokia maps seems better sometimes..
I had seen this very early on, it fixed itself. I never had ssues for anything more than 3 days...Thanks but tried all those including Hard Reset. Nothing fixed the problem
Regarding the 512MB dilemma, it will clear your doubts. Though there are some (very few) apps & games, that will need 1GB RAM, but am sure that it will be optimized for 512MB..

GDR2 update for Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 show up on Nokia
I guess we have to wait this month for the OTA Update.
But again you can't guarantee anything
So, GDR2 cleans the other storage completely when updating, and starts the "Other storage" afresh?
That's one way. But, not all the people (atleast in India) have enough bandwidth/speed to switch it on.

Woohoo!! Just received the Amber update for my Lumia 820! Glance screen, data sense, color profile and sms+call filter are the new features I can see. The animations also seem to have been toned down a bit; the phone seems snappier.
Current version of Talk.to only shows my SMS contacts. No Gmail ID's.. Any idea?
I tried GChat once, but the credentials expired every 2-3 days
Still one of my working friend says "Lumina"
..
Double-tap to wake up is brilliant!!
Is it working?
Like this?
. Need to move to other app. WP should have supported chat for other profiles like Gtalk, Yahoo, Skype etc. from their messaging hub itself like Facebook
Expect major updates in coming months and before Christmas. Dont ask me for links.
Yep. Stolen in commute. Got the junior after that (with insurance)
The 820 is no featherweight either, but once your hands get used to the extra weight, holding any other phone makes you wonder if it's as robust as your Lumia.
Of course, you can't go around dropping your phone on concrete slabs to verify this, but I feel the extra weight plays on your mind and reassures you that the phone is well-built. It's not that heavy.

Amber Update is showing available for Lumia 620. I noticed it yesterday, but in phone when I check for Update it shows No update is available. Any idea why?

Once you buy/install an app, it will be free for long time though it becomes premium after a certain period of time.
Regarding chat, WhatsApp is better now, followed by viber,hike,chaton,wechat, etc. In the end, it all drills down to what app your friends mostly use.
It was. But, Whatsapp is improved a lot now.

Create Custom Tiles for Pinned Websites on Windows PhoneSo I'm a WP8 user now. Bye to Omnia W, now on the 920.
waiting for my sime to get ported to idea.. have not been able to use my phone much because of that
anyway to pin the logo of websites to start screen?
ok, let's try this tomorrow, see how it works out
UPDATE
So it's charging at 28% an hour from my office plugpoint. At this rate it will take around 3:35 to charge it.
Is this ok?
btw, I have glance on and data off. And I was not using the phone while it was charging.
If I have data on, then it will take more than 4 hours then
Then I put it on and within 45 mins it was around 60%.
No I don't think so. Generally I charge at night. But sometimes due to heavy usage when my battery gets real low, and I charge it, I noticed it charges to 60 - 75% in an hour.
Even once I forgot to turn the switch on after plugging it at night, and when I came in morning I noticed my mistake
For a few people android isnt necessary because we never connect a usb keyboard or try to change the core features by using custom ROMs or stuff. I can only speak for myself and I can perfectly understand why somebody else might want an android phone, but WP is special in a few different ways and to some it matters

WP8 needs to go a long way to be considered as daily usage Smart OS. Despite it's innumerable great features, there's many problems.
I am using the wall charger.
BTW, today it got charged in just 2 and a half hours.
But it discharged in 12 hours only... now I'm confused
Cut the rope exp?Wooo!!!! Cut the rope is also free, plus Angry Birds Star Wars I & II.
WOW. The game is out and so cool.. A perfect racing game..
Get them all while they're free and uninstall the ones you don't like. They stay in your purchase history and you won't be charged if you want to re-install if/when they go back to being paid.
will download from college and install it via SD card later.
All became premium now.
All became premium now.
what might be the possible reason for those games to be available free for some time ?
yeah
anyway i got star wars for free
Maybe some bug, coz Rovio didn't give any official announcement of Angry birds collection for free. I got all AB series.

Yes WMV works too. 160/- well spent
Buy it man if you need it. Everything works fine.
I was thinking of buying it mainly because, of it's ease of use + wear and tear of the microUSB port.
In my previous phone, after a year or so, the PC had difficulty detecting.. the phone, because of the wear and tear
+ there's the cool factor too
another query, Which class microSD cards does the 720 support?
And is there a big difference between class 6 and class 10 cards?
Is going for class 10 cards worth it or class 6 suffices?
Such things wont get skipped unless ignored genuinely.
Is there any solution or is this yet another limitation/bug in OS ? I am on GDR3 and same happened with all previous OS 8.x versions with me. Looks like there is no QA department in MS WP OS

right thanks, i just updated the phone and nokia care says its now Amber release, as u said , i went to apps then searched for "preview for Developers" and it came up with numbers of apps such as "Dev Center" "Auto Roation" "Intel App review" and so on and so forth, could you tell me which one to install?
yeah updated twice, once for apps i guess, now it says Amber release in nokia care, i need to update further it seems, coz no i could not see the X marks
P.S-> does this phone turn really hot if i do tasks like long updates?
lucky me...bought lumia 920 at 21k , now the price is 30k in flipkart
Lucky me , bought it for 16.8k, now the price is 30k on flipkart
... when ?
you bought it for 16.8k
Does updating to GDR3 voids warranty?
It is the Nexus for Windows Phone.

I guess Lumia 1320 price might be some where between 40k to 36k
Any problems while updating to GDR3 and any measures or steps I should take while updating?
Slowly this 512MB support will fade away in WP, as the arrival of 1GB smartphones like L525 in entry level filling up the market.
^ Only for 1 GB RAM..
not for my 520 ? bull ****.
You can read PDF in all Lumia, provided you have Adobe reader.
I got an email from MS, increasing my SkyDrive quota by 20GB. So now I have 7GB+20GB space for a year, FREEE!!!
You're correct.it is 27gb in total
You're correct.
Anyway, if you store more than 7GB coz of this, then you will be in trouble.
ya. As an old user, I have 25gb instead of 7 gb. 25gb itself is more than enough .. I think
ok. that's nice. some my friends got 50gb of dropbox space
wow....60gb
those who have unlimited internet can fully utilize this opportunity now.
true, but sometimes there are email provider specific features.. which you would like on your phone too
No. But you may pin a conversation to the start screen, if thats of any help.

International version of the ICON can possibly be the first handset to launch with 8.1, dont you think ?
Depends on how you look at it. A lot of people arent as crazy as us or well informed or simply have the use for 32G of internal memory.
Btw, my point was that the L925 hit the market with essentially the same specs as L920 but a lot later and in fact sold just as well if the amount of them I see on the road versus the number of L920 is any indication.
In short, I'd expect the Icon to be released internationally with WP8.1. And I do not expect a successor to the L1020 any time soon. Nokia had to hack the ISP pipeline of the Snapdragon chip to get it to process those mammoth 40mp images and thats also the reason for the slow shot-to-shot time in the L1020. To release another phone based on such hacked up architecture doesnt seem to be a wise move. The next gen pricessors are capable of handling ~50mp images per second and therefore I dont expect any new L1020 successor until and after the release of the next gen chips, which isnt any time soon I think.
The L1020 is crippled more by the processor ISP being limited than anything WP related. It doesnt matter how many cores you have or how fast your cores are clocked if the ISP thats actually used to process those pixels if the ISP thats used to process them is limited to a maximum image capture limit of less than what you need for the L1020.
No doubt the S800 is a very good processor, but what the L1020 asks of it to deliver, is something it simply cannot handle. You may or may not realise how much the L1020 can easily bring the S800 to its knees, please refer to Snapdragon 800 series processors | Mobile Technology | Qualcomm Snapdragon Processors if you still dont believe me
The other problem is how much you can miniaturise a physical assembly - again not something thats WP related.
Not trying to sound like a MS fanboy, but the L1020 was rushped as an aura product. There was no mainstream processor that was capable of doing it justice, there still isnt. The successor, if any isnt due until much later this year, even so I'd be skeptical of it coming that soon.
Awwww yeah!!! Best news for me!!!

Great. Rattling vibration, that's what I want. While using these Samsung top end line for past three/four years that's the thing I am missing throughout this period, faint vibration, I can't feel while it's in my pocket, that caused me so many missed calls. I just want the good old rattling vibration back, that buzzing strong vibration which literally did shake your pocket

Thanks for your reply mate.
I dont intend to mean megapixel is everything - it isnt. But the L1020 sensor has 40 MP which needs to be processed per image and therefore the need for high MP processing per second from the processor.
Lossless zoom, as in its implementation in the L1020, is a function of the number of megapixels in the sensor, and not of sensor size.
Shot to shot time is a combination of various smaller time periods, the chief of which are
1. Time to lock focus
2. Time to apply post processing
3. Time to completely flush the image buffer into the internal/external memory
In most phone cameras 1,2,3 all take comparable amount of time. But since a full shot from the L1020 sensor has 40 megapixels to process and the the processor is not able to handle it generally, Nokia had to hack the ISP pipeline of the processor to make it able to process the massive files. this meant that the processing of the image took a lot longer than 1. The side effect of large sensor (but unrelated to the processor's ability to process it) is the longer time it takes to flush the entire image into the memory, so that the buffer is ready to hold a fresh image (More MB == more time to copy).
So you see that the way to improve the shot to shot duration of the L1020 is not easy since to do that you have to improve both 2 and 3. 2 can be helped by giving it a better processor (thats why you need the 805) and 3 by using faster internal memory. But here is the catch - faster internal memory is also more expensive and in any case at 40MBps speed, you are going to have a hefty premium => even more expensive than it already is. There is a way to get sround this - use more than one buffer to hold the image, and use them alternatively - which is exactly what I think Nokia is using in the L1020 (Now you see why it has 2GB of RAM ?).
Some of the stuff here is speculation, but not a blind rant. Do you now get it why I am skeptical of Nokia's L1020 successor being not in the horizon any time soon ?
1. => Faster processor can help.
2. => Faster processor can help.
3. => Not much can help outside of increased bufferring. Over time as faster memory becomes cheaper, you can see this part improve.
801 should be able to do decent shsot to shot speed on par with regular android phones with the same specs. However it may or (more probably) may not match the shot to shot speeds of the Iphone 5s. The Iphone 5s has a much faster processor, one thats got a huge memory throughput and very fast cores. (If you want to know how this is possible, thats because they dont care about the silicon die space/# of cores as much as the others. More die area + less cores == large but faster cores and more memory bandwidth). I have oversimplified a lot of stuff here (and completely avoided mentioning some) but that should be enough for now. Clear hai ?

Fb messenger app is available finally!
Its really good. Better than the stupid msoft fb app

All signs point to an an official fb app made by fb coming soon!
Now that FB is coming into the fold.. which is great ... only google are left and that is not going to happen until WP hits at least 10-15% market share
The next thing on my wishlist is an outlook app and a ymail app
No. I meant from 8.1 to 8.5..

Guys..I am planning on replacing my Xperia L with a Windows Handset in the near future..
Can i pls get these queries answered ?
1. is there a Lumia 725 device on the way ? if yes, any expected time of arrival ?
2. I regularly use my mobile for watching videos/movies. Is there any excellent Video player ( like MX player of playstore ) that can handle all formats ? ( preferably free
3. The last time i checked out the windows store on my friend's 520 was last year ( around June). At that time, i found the appstore a bit lacking. Has it improved much now ?
Thanks.

Are you sure? There's no official or open update about this?
With Windows Phone 8.1 could one set an wallpaper for home-screen without those tiles running at background? I am not talking about lock-screen.Start screen with custom wallpaper + parallax effect is awesome..
That's good, but still I don't know why there isn't an option to disable the tiles and have it only when you want, by clicking on an icon or something. I always love an wallpaper in full on home-screen
Seems like another thing I will miss from Android
1.Works with 512MB.
All set for the Dev Preview Update. Registered via MS App Studio Account, for obvious reasons.
I'm excite!!
Damn, thats not WP8.1. This update is something else.
Update complete and I am still in WP 8.0
- - - Updated - - -
Geting a second update now...
o what r they?)
People on WP8.1 - DO NOT update the Music app if prompted. Retarded update just about made the music part unusable on my phone.

It is not there anymore in the current build of 8.1 preview. A workaround to this "stupid" blunder by MS is changing the screen timeout option to Never.
P.S. I spotted you in the WPCentral forums last night. I'm registered there too, if you didn't know.
Xbox music eh? Yea, you're screwed.
Good thing I didn't go for it last night. Downloaded the pre-update and for some reason I held back. And boom, now I see people's phones getting bricked left, right and center. Or lag, or cellular data not working, or WiFi issues, or battery drainage, or Cortana not working properly. So many major bugs in the update... thank goodness I didn't. Gonna wait for a month to see if MS rolls out further updates to fix the glaring issues.

There's also the battery drain issue... when you use it... it literally sucks up the battery... Don't know why, maybe this will get fixed with updates or with Lumia Cyan firmware
- - - Updated - - -
Another thing I was hoping to get rid of was easy access tiles and how could Msoft miss the data toggle in the action centre ! they have it for wifi but not for Mobile data!
[h=1]Xbox Music is pretty terrible on Windows Phone 8.1, but an update is near[/h]
The sheer amount of bugs and breakdowns I've seen reported over at wpcentral alone makes me shudder... I already have a bad battery life on my 520. Cant imagine what will happen if i update it now lol.... But nevertheless, if you feel that you should go back to 8.0 then you can. Although i take no responsibility if you brick your phone....
. i am happy till now except some hiccups which can be tolerated...
You checked this?
bloody 8.1 .... my 920 just got bricked... hard reset is not working.....
Bricked in the sense - it's not even powering on after the update or unusable itself?bloody 8.1 .... my 920 just got bricked... hard reset is not working.....
Absolutely.I like to live a dangerous life
And yes, there are ways to "restore" the phone using the Care Suite and ROM flash but that would mean losing all data?
actually no,my 820 and 720 run it equally fast(or slow at times), ram and cpu doesnt make a difference its a buggy release
After updating to 8.1, i moved the apps/games to SD card and did a hard reset.
When i opened the SD card, the apps/games are moved to "Others" in SD card and not able to restore
[MENTION=142062]Flash[/MENTION]'s issue is not "others" his issue is more that he cannot get those apps back like he was expecting to.ooh thats tough luck!! this is what i did-
1.backup everything to pc(pics,songs,videos etc)
2.remove memory card
3.hard reset
4.format memory card in pc , then format in storage sense
it cleared a lot of other for me
try it out might help you
- - - Updated - - -
the issues i faced seem to have dissappeared other than the mail crash bug otherwise battery life , camera issues etc have all gone , dunno why but its more or less stable now
Exactly. Reinstalled all apps/games again :/
You installed the update for Cortona?Wow. And its bricked again!
Wow. And its bricked again!
how did u downgrade? pls post the steps
i tried this but it didnt work , getting different errors each time,spent 3 days trying to downgrade then gave up
Just go with the flow. What're the problem you're facing?i tried this but it didnt work , getting different errors each time,spent 3 days trying to downgrade then gave up
They are not supposed to, if they do THEN it is a bug.
Took me 5 minutes.

The next pet complaint is how they ruined the caret (keyboard)
The next pet complaint is how they ruined the caret (keyboard)
.
Its a pain to move the caret (or cursor as some call it) between letters, that is if you can get it properly selected without having to squint and poke like a neurosurgeon. WP 8 version had a long press mode where the caret floated above the fingers and it was seriously the best implementation I had seen yet. WP 8.1 switches to the Android way of doing things and its a massive step backwards in usability.
This video:-
*www.wpcentral.com/new-word-flow-keyboard-caret-windows-phone-81
explains the whole process. Despite calling the new method an improvement look how the preseter fumbles far more with the WP 8.1 version of caret. I have had to get used to it, but I still positively hate it. In apps like Facebook as soon as your comment has crossed the default size, the present keyboard implementation of the caret becomes unusable for any edits
When it comes to keyboard caret implementation, WP 8.0 >>> WP 8.1
Flash
Exactly. Gameloft offers some free games along with L630; IMO, most will not work best with 512MB RAM.
Quad core with 1 GB RAM would be deadly for Windows Phone.
I think many people would not mind paying 1K extra for additional RAM.
Now, some popular games are available for 1 GB device only.
it has 4.5" screen with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and ClearBlack display and that costs. that 10.5k price is justifiable although they could have included 1 gb ram.
Since WP has phase-wise updates, am 90% sure that WP8.1 will need Black update;
You mean that link?^ that really looks like a spam post
Sadly, i experience more battery drain on this update..
Nokia MixRadio's songs are DRM free.
It seems it was malfunctioning in Windows 8.1, so they removed it.
Screenshot changes were there from the initial preview of 8.1
What do you mean by "Long time" in your post?
Ah! Don't compare Android version here - the OS's are different. We can't expect an app to work as the same, across all platforms.
Updated. But can't see anything new..
Only people who've installed the Dev preview for 8.1 (like us) is getting updates.
, iPad 4 | Lumia 520
Lack of quality apps, Lack of free apps , OS restrictions, crap zune software, WP UI controls reminds me a lot about my old WinMo 6.5 phone.. dumb metro UI (e.g Facebook app has metro UI which is totally BS ...look at twitter metro UI ...super awesome.. ) will post about it in details this weekend for sure..this metro UI is a double edged sword..will mostly post a blog it. it been on my mind since i have started using WP. Infact MS has this habit of serving old wine in new bottle..same is for WP Current WP home-screen = Stock WinMo 6.5 home screen (present same things in square make it interactive) UI elements : It has not at all changed. We have clearly seen how UI elements got slow yet nice update...you can clearly see the difference in basic UI elements (buttons , scroll bar ,progress bar ) ..see how they looked in Windows 98,Windows XP and Windows 7. No such transition (i am not talking about animation) from WinMo 6.5 to WP7. Core-i5 2400 | Intel DH67BL | G.Skill 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz | 500GB Segate | CM 430 | Corsair VX550 PSU| BENQ V2410 eco LED Monitor | Genuine windows 7 & 8 64-bit | Google Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S & boring Nokia Lumia 800
so what you mean is wp8 is boring to you so we also should feel the same and buy most worst & laggy androids. GO MAN GO TELL TO SOMEBODY ELSE, YOUR ANDROID PHONE WILL NOT WORK WITH 512MB RAM AS SMOOTHLY AS IN OUR WP8. WHAT HELL SOFTWARE IF IT ONLY WORKS SMOOTHLY WITHOUT ANY LAG WITH MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS OF 1GB RAM & 4 CORES OR 8 CORES.
Wish, Games Hub and Music apps also get this update.

BTW, The Video app has got an update. Nothing has changed other than the tile colour. Now, The Tile colour isn't green. It's your accent colour now.
WP8.1 got dev preview update..
No. This update is out only today.I too got one a couple of days ago. Don't know what has changed.
W121 is a steal for that specs, but the a.s.s of Micromax is to worry about..
Why 720? You can consider 820 for a slighter future proof phone.
You can also check on the Lumia 1320 phablet, if you're ok with the size.Budget constraints
here in Chennai local store only 630 and 1320 available. 1320 is damn huge.Budget constraints

hope the phones dont go out of stock by that date
1. Sources state that June 24.
1.You can't see the individual messages from the Onedrive, as it is stored in cloud.
1. Yes, you can't view it.
It will work, as the Cloud backup is linked with your Microsoft ID. When you setup the phone for the first time, it will retrieve the settings that was stored to your account.
It's showing as 9999/- now. Maybe error on flipkart side.
WHAT????
Have you tried "Transfer my data" from Windows phone, after connecting to Android?
I had transferred contacts from my old sony ericsson fone to 520 using Transfer my data.
How do I take a back up of Messages??
It should transfer SMS's too.I had transferred contacts from my old sony ericsson fone to 520 using Transfer my data.
Now I'm planning to get Moto E for Dual sim & slightly better battery till something better from Lumia arrives.
I'll sync my contacts to Google for contacts but i doubt about the SMSes
you can upload to one drive(wptorrent. Not sure of other.) you can manually transfer. i doubt that with internal memory, but with external , there shouldn't be any problem.
UC can open a maximum of 9 tabs. usually refreshing does not happen. but when you return after a long time, then possibly yes.i don't know about 1 gb ram devices, but my lumia 512 does. with IE, it refreshes quite often,.UC even supports downloading when the screen is locked in newer updates.
no idea. isn't this app dependent?
Files explores every folder in SD/phone except System folders. There are also numerous 3rd party apps for file managers.
You can check it here for INDIA.
I've mentioned the "625/925 users got Cyan update in india", so as to the owners of these can answer your question .
No you cant.
Actually the kids corner in WP has a drawback.
What? Are you on WP8 or WP8.1?Actually the kids corner in WP has a drawback.
If u put a password lock on your main account and activate kids corner (KC), KC will also ask for the password (same password for both the accounts).
Only if you type the password, then the KW's contents will be revealed.
What's the use of password lock, then!
^^ you have to launch kids corner first before handing over the phone
and MS hasn't done the necessary steps till now

btw, anybody updated to 8.1 gdr1 / 8.1 update 1?
Am on WP8.1 dev preview with the latest update (not update 1). I guess, it may be rectified in WP8.1. @Shah What you found?
Welcome to the club
There's a new feature called "Apps corner", which comes with WP8.1 dev preview update 1. It functions like this:
Check with [MENTION=70173]giprabu[/MENTION]. He recently bought it.
I updated to WP8.1 update 1 and It's full of bugs. I ask you guys not to install this update.
I updated to WP8.1 update 1 and It's full of bugs. I ask you guys not to install this update.
Tried changing the region and language, But no use at all.
Had the same problem. Restarted the phone, and it worked.I was happy at seeing Cortana. But, She always shows this message "I'm afraid I'm not available to help in your region with the language you chose."
why did you hard reset before downgrading since downgrading will erase all the contents?
Activate kids corner, use it.I'm on the 8.1 update 1 it seems (8.10.14147.180), and that live tile beta app crashed. The OS itself asked me to uninstall it and now I'm stuck with a 3 second load lock screen. Charging my phone 3 times a day now since on an H network or WiFi all the time.
Time to rollback and rebase

930 more expensive than 1520, which has bigger screen, bigger battery, glance screen and MicroSD lots.
Actually, Nokia has messed up with the naming schemes this time.

Actually, it's good because when Lumia WP 8.0 phones were released, several people worried about the accidental touching of capacitive keys and the non-illuminated buttons when accessing the phone in darkness. On-screen capacitive keys are way accessible and handy, as would'nt have to worry about the keys while gaming.
This phone is currently used by my aunty and there is neither Mobile Data enabled nor does she know how to connect to wifi yet. Not sure how this problem triggered.
Used some technique to hard reset the phone and it's working now.

Guys any idea where can I get an original charger for my new Nokia Lumia 625. Lost the original charger
got the update on my 520.battery life has been slightly increased. it is too early to say though. waiting for next update
dont tell me they decided to include it only for flagship phones
Denim is just an OS Update not a Firmware Update
only brings 3-4 new features such as live folders,hey cortana(sd800 only) and 1-2 more things
it does however also bring 4K recording to Pureview Lumias and also enables us to download the latest Lumia Camera(classic and something else i believe) which has faster launch time etc
looks like this a bugfix sort of update for Cyan and sorts out a bunch of OS bugs and was much needed so its not a small update even if it doesnt bring a whole ton of new features
still havent got the update on my 720 and 820 though
hopefully should be out by next week i guess

I am Planning to buy a windows phone for my dad within 10k(max)..My dad's main requirement is Big screen for easy accessibility and a battery that lasts a day..I've zeroed in on Lumia 535 because it has a big display ( 5 inch) , has a decent camera and within the budget.
But, upon further research, it seems that the 535 is suffering from a touch sensitivity issue and the latest update which is supposed to solve the problem hasn't yet fixed it.
Can any Lumia 535 user confirm it ???
Also, are there any other good windows phone choices within 10k ?? The Lumia 638 seems a perfecct choice, but the only drawback is that it doesn't have a front camera..( not a major con, but why settle for less ??
Yeah. Translucent tiles & a separate app for Outlook and ability to sort the installed apps in the menu.
1. Ccplayer
So guys these are my options to play HD files on my Lumia 625.
VLC is still a beta, and it's getting 2-3 updates a week. Dev behind VLC "Thomas Nigro" is active in WindowsCentral forums, often getting the inputs directly from users.
In simple, a windows app which works in both Windows 8 OS and Windows phone 8/8.1 devices.
That is the reason I am insanely waiting for Denim. The improved image quality, 4K recording and HDR. Overall it will give a brand new look and feel to Lumia 930 and 1520, that will make Note 3 owners jaleous
I am bored. I can't resist
The correct sentence is:
From where did Note 3 come?
I dont quite get the delay in Denim for India,earlier India was one of the first 3 to get updates
either way,denim isnt a major update for most devices anyway
waiting for W10 DP..
my badlel just after posting it I found the news
Updated : Speed restored. A little change in battery life on the positive side and few other additions. I m happy
and 820 dont forget 820!!
Denim released for 930, 920, 925 and 820...
Finally the phone is much smoother. This is a good update. lot of bug fixes.
& as far as updates are concerned, Nokia has been pretty good with their devices..even the 520 has been getting latest updates. I have No idea about Lava though..
Ghost touch... link please... havent heard of it .. though have seen the start screen hanging bit
I am using windows lumia 532 and it's nice and especially not facing the problem of phone getting struck.Heard that not all lumia smartphones are not to get windows 10 update...

still if its true...........!!!

That's the actual cost of the phone. It'll be more with tax-related-stuffs when it comes to market.
still if its true...........!!!
will be a game changer!!!
Lumia 635 with 512MB itself itself, costs 10K. So, L640 will be definitely be >10K (say 10-11K) and L640XL be 12-13K.
( that is a big change..The SD200 in 535 is much behind than the SD400 in 640..
what else is important apart from display, cpu & camera ??
& if 535 gets a drop, markets of 532 & 435 will get affected
Read about in WindowsCentral, thought it was an April fool prank by Microsoft. But turned out to be real, once i installed the app.
This sounds like a future tech.
I dont think itll drop any further,going by experience with the x20 series Lumias
Lumia 720 dropped from 20k to 14k
Lumia 820 dropped from 28k to 20k
Same thing seems to be happening with the x30 series as well-
730 dropped from 18k to 13k
830 dropped from 28k to 22k
imho go for 830,its an awesome phone and im already pissed at myself for not getting one already
I actually prefer 830 over alot of other handsets ,including 930
Its a perfect package
Rumours are that L640 will be <10K and L640XL will be at <12K
And all of this for enabling Cortona.. which doesn't even work most of the time. Keeps saying, "Sorry, I didn't catch that.." or something.
So I tried to enable Cortona on my dad's Lumia 520 today. Why does Microsoft products, be it Windows or mobile, tends to take eternity for small updates?
First, it..
downloaded the update, took around 5 min
then it installed it, took around 6 min, felt longer
then it rebooted and proceeded to take another 10 min, felt eternity
then it rebooted and said, "updating apps... it will be worth the wait" and again felt eternity...
then it rebooted again and with a NOKIA logo, stayed on it for another 2 min...
(At this point I was furious, since dad was giving me that eye, since he had to make a call)
FINALLY the homescreen showed. Phew.
..
And all of this for enabling Cortona.. which doesn't even work most of the time. Keeps saying, "Sorry, I didn't catch that.." or something.
Don't fret. Google may not allow it, but the developers can.
Missed that lumia 638 lightening deal.
Any problems in lumia 638?
No FF camera, poor display and was intially launched at 8k with just a mere 4.5inch display, nah not worth it in my point of view even at that price.
I want FFC. Skype is a integral part of MS and without it the experience will always be less than pleasant.
Do you mean something like this.
Received Windows 8.1 Update 2 on my Karbonn Titanium Wind W4. Settings have been grouped and it feels a lot better to search.
Well this phone was on Windows 8.1 only, it didnt even receive Windows 8.1 Update (had checked a week back). Every other Windows Phone, be it Lumia or non-lumia (Karbonn & XOLO) had received windows 8.1 update around 2 months back, but mine never received. I was almost sure that mine wont receive any further updates. But just today it received 8.1 Update 2 directly from Windows 8.1, skipping WIndows 8.1 Update and WIndows 8.1 Update 1
Great job by Karbonn. Really satisfied. Couldn't ask anything more from a 3k phone

I was almost sure that mine wont receive any further updates. But just today it received 8.1 Update 2 directly from Windows 8.1, skipping WIndows 8.1 Update and WIndows 8.1 Update 1
Great job by Karbonn. Really satisfied. Couldn't ask anything more from a 3k phone
But Preview for Developers app demanding me to register as developer when I try to register Microsoft directs me to pay some amount to register as developer so I avoided this option.

It seems the only option available

Is phone number and account are linked. Then go to mail.live.com and try resetting itMicrosoft is the worst!
My uncle has Lumia 638 and has forgotten the password to his live account, no possible option of recovery too.
Cannot access the store to install any new apps because password?
All he wants is do is backup his contacts to pc and reset his phone.
But i don't there is any way to do that. wtf

Don't lose hope.
Try the 3rd option in this link -
"I think someone else is using my Microsoft account"
Reset your password
Select some reason then it will ask the secondary email address or phone no attached with the account to reset the password.
But here you select the 3rd option - "I don't have any of these".
Then it will ask for a email from where you can recover your account.
Lumia 950 & Lumia 950 XL: Dual-Sim variants, Pricing details
Probably long before that, another absolute failure from Microsoft. They have low/low-mid range phones under 15k which faces tough competition from android. Now they have a ultra high end model which no one will buy, they will mostly go for iphone or Samsung edge phones. So again we see microsoft ignoring the 20-30k segment thereby sliding down the ladder further.
You can wait for L750, if you want.
Maybe this is bring the platform to the mainstream !!

Windows 10 Mobile Gets an Unofficial Google Play Store and Other Google Apps - Neurogadget.com
:O
Totally agreed with you.
For a secondary mobile, it's surely a good deal. Don't worry, you will get W10 update too.
(I bought a Surface Pro 3 this week,absolutely stunning device,I sincerely hope they will make a surface phone because thatll absolutely kill android or atleast a windows 10 rom for Zenfone 2 )
Yeah i agree. Microsoft cannot afford to launch phone with lower specs than Android competition if it wants to gain some market share. If those Snapdragon 210 and 8gb memory specs are true, its not worth more than 7k. But its going to be around 10k at launch is my guess because of LTE and 720p amoled display.They should really consider SD410 and 16 GB internal memory if 550 is going to replace 640.
, just putting forth my thoughts)
You speak about iPhone costing 60k. But if you say an OS is bad just because it can't send stuff over bluetooth, lolok.kkn13 said:
How to connect an iPhone or iPad to a TV or a computer monitorkkn13 said:
This is probably the funniest part of your post. You compare an iPad released almost 2 years earlier to the Lumia mentioned(March 2011 compared to Feb 2013) & call the iPad slow lol. iOS 9 has sped up every old device it supports(iPhone 4s feels like a new phone again).kkn13 said:
flasho...whatever? Support of flash player?kkn13 said:
He's talking about the Continuum feature of WP10, not mirroring the iOS screen to a monitor.
More info about this please, how is this exclusive to WP ?
I don't think KOT is coming to WP anytime soon. Look at "Clash of Clans", still it hasn't made its way to WP.
Continuum is a feature where you connect your phone to a dock and then use it with a monitor and keyboard like a PC

1. Owning a device and holding it in your hand for 2 mins are totally different
I can touch a Lamborghini but that doesnt mean I know as much as the owner
2. ios?? seriously?? You are willing to spend 50-60k minimum on a phone that cant even send stuff via bluetooth? and you complain about WP not having features?? great going (FYI I love iPads and know how poor android tabs are in comparison)
also their cable quality is pathetic, after sales is just a bunch of idiots with bad attitudes who try to blame you for manufacturing defects,speaking from personal experience.
3. Can you connect your iphone or android to another display, hard drive,keyboard and mouse all at once and use it as a mini computer?
4. ios isnt as smooth as WP, I own iPads 2,3,4,mini 1 and 2 and Lumia 720,820.
My iPad 2 and Lumia 720 both have dual core, 512mb ram and 32gb storage.still my 720 is smoother on the latest version and doesnt crash while browsing heavy sites. Also Apple loves to ruin older devices with new updates which they eventually force down your throat with nagging notifications(just like android) , even slightly older ios versions will refuse to run newer apps or updates because Apple wants you on the latest ios version
5. If you are a flashaholic, have you considered getting a device which isnt mainstream? I mean Samsung,OPO,iPhone are kinda mainstream(No offense
Im not bashing you or trying to offend you in any manner
Just stating my experience since I use all 4 major platforms and love to switch between my devices from time to time
I have a Nexus 5, 7(2012),(2013), iPads 2,3,4,mini 1,2 Lumia 720,820 , BB Z10 and a bunch of other gadgets including a Surface Pro 3
Microsoft is the next big thing Im sure of it
Just see XDA,Androidcentral etc , even "fandroids" in the general sense, are actually impressed by the latest announcements by microsoft (no offense to android users and lovers , talking about extremists)
Going by my own experience with a 720 and 820 and Surface Pro 3 all running Windows 10 and in perfect sync, I can safely say they have done a commendable job

Maybe if you are looking for extreme customisation, really rare apps and games, the platform isnt for you
for the more general consumers, I think they will be at home with Windows Phone/Mobile and are simply not jumping ship because reviewers these days are extremely biased and misleading. Hence I personally only trust forums and actual experiences from actual owners
You're trying to prove this every post you make
MS is still playing catch up in the mobile world. Android & iOS both have set a "benchmark" of sorts in their own way.
Actually it was you who "coined" this term in the last page
PS: you still haven't posted why you compared an iPad which was 2 years old & called it "slow" compared to H/W 2 years late :"D

I have finalized the Lumia 730.But I'm afraid as windows is a new move for me as well as new os.frankly speaking Windows Phones are best upto 15k in terms of overall experience
If you want an android though, safest bet is the Moto G2 and G3 imho
I suggest waiting for atleast a month more because Windows 10 Mobile and Android Marshmallow are slowly coming in Dcemeber(Nexus devices roll out has just started) , So best to wait and watch
So far from my personal experience , Ive found my 720 more consistent to use than my Nexus 5 though I do miss OTG on my 720 which is why I sometimes need both phones, but personal experience is the best deciding factor for everyone
Exactly I was looking at this. I feel like you are running in emulator. I guess then you will have to wait for updates
Long press the Rupee symbol. It will expand to reveal other currency symbols.
Thanks for the tip.
theres still Project Islandwood for ios apps,much better than android apps imho
you can still try W10 preview via Windows Insider.
Windows Mobile doesn't have much of a future, though it will continue to get security updates for much longer than many Android phones being launched now. Windows on mobile, though (specifically on ARM), could still have a future though we will need to wait to find out what form it takes.
