So far so good...runnin Anna. But I dont like Ovi Store, still prefer PC Suite, which I'm still using via PC...has more features... |

QUOTE(macwai01 @ Oct 7 2011, 11:13 PM) Could end up buying a N9. N8's screen is impossible for me to type on. lol you may want to try swype?!Still the hacked belle is serving my N8 well  Symbian has quite some apps already. Enough for me at least. I noticed that there are very little reviews on the N9?  |

WHat I meant, I dont want auto charge.... I want to decide when to charge; me being electronic fool, i dont belief in constant charging, its gonna reduce your battery life...
And its good, to once a while to drain out your battery fully; and then shutdown yoru phone, and fully charge it...similar to notebook as well. Nothing is written in rock just my preference  ALL my previous Nokia phones I dont charge until, I need to do so, normally it last for 5-7 days (previously using N79). |

Glad to see many do agree...normally I do see more disagreement;
 anyways...its individual preference.....not only this I have odd behavior on electronics, since day one Ilearnt about it...to date, I dont turn off my computers, imagine my 20 inch HP monitor dated back 1995 still going strongly, although damn heavy and bulky!...just waiting for it to fail and yet to fail! same goes with my CPU as well, never off, only reboot once in a month. ok Back to Nokia, another thing I didnt like was the N8 camera doesnt feature sequence shot, infact on my N79 it was standard...or am I missing something?  But I did read, that using other camera application like CameraPro has it build in, wonder why Nokia missed it out...infact on my N79, that was my show case to my friends...disappointed.  |

QUOTE(sklchan @ Oct 9 2011, 10:42 PM) for me i think the LION have different characteristic where if u drain it till shutdown it will have memory to not full charge the next round... Haha, as I said this can be argued in many ways...which I will leave to individuals....just one point of fact here.... LIB or LI-ON battery major down side is heat...if all agree with that, then wouldnt constant charging (heat) would just deplete the life of the battery? Hence my recommendation to only charge when its at 50%...just me..... |

QUOTE(stimix @ Oct 10 2011, 12:49 PM) Well, If you worry battery minitor will drin your battery which i dun think so,,there are lotsa upgrades compare wth old wan for sure.'' stimix, what is " what app"; I presume, its an application monitoring what is running and its memory usage?Just do the same steps as what recommended & automated by battery Monitor 2.1 if you activate the power saving more: - Switch to power saving mode - Do not use 3G or even on 3G - Mainatin in GSM mode' - Screen reso to the lowest level' - No background screensaver such as big clock & etc' - Do not run any auto background app - such as what app Well, except the last one which I switch on what app and if only I uninstall what app, I think I probably can get 5 days liao haha.. COuld you provide the link or full name for it? Yeah; battery monitor is pretty good to monitor the status, i have added as part or widget; together with Free Memory Bars This post has been edited by VeeJay: Oct 10 2011, 01:07 PM |

QUOTE(sklchan @ Oct 10 2011, 12:14 AM) software it's not, the default camera app also can have burst mode with some mods but it won't take wonderful miracle... same goes to those camerapro 3rd party app, do anyone can get a nicely capture burst photos? i dont think so as it's a fake burst where each photo might seperate a few second a part or not in full resolution... correct me if i'm wrong... Correct, it may not be in full desired resolution or clarity; but "THATS THE MOMENT" we want to capture; my whole office enjoyed my photos from N79 (N85 should have the same); every time on a function; they ask be to burst!...miss that now.....and my colleagues are going to kill me  WIll try to upload and share some of my photos....its more of a MOMENT story rather than a picture QUALITY  |

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Oct 11 2011, 08:41 PM) wow... very rare for a hot pink n8 Yeah....its will become a norm, soon...since the model color was just launched....Welcome aboard HighFur Meanwhile, another query here...it seems N8 search function doesnt seem to be able to perform partial search. For example my number is 0123335555; hence if i were to enter 5555 search, it doesnt return any value...my previous phone was able to do so.....any idea folks? |

QUOTE(squarepilot @ Oct 15 2011, 11:57 PM) i know the pros and cons of both OS and hardware design. WHat apps that you feel nokia dont have compared to the other?but it just too hard for me to decide. maps and gps are very important to me as well as apps and browsing. wanted to buy standalone GPS but mahal pulak if buy both phone and GPS together i will most probaby choose n8 if and only if n8 drops to 1100 next month as my camera lens on my phone cracked. i like nokia phones which enables us to put notes and upcoming events on the home screen, too bad android dont have this feature BTW, I just bought mine for RM1150 (zitron) |

QUOTE(kae7 @ Oct 18 2011, 12:17 AM) naah... i'm okay with symbian... but then... i think i would prefer WP + Meego + Symbian combination.. Yeah...it should beopen, and we decide which OS to load! it would be really good... BTW, anyone tried SPB Mobile Shell....its pretty cool totally changes your symbian outlook and cool 3D view of browsing page as well. |

QUOTE(ahpaul82 @ Oct 18 2011, 01:22 PM) so conclusion is, I would suggest install App Stop, and then view what running at the background; and you may stop the back apps using "App Stop"It could be OS apps that running at background? http://store.ovi.com/content/92945?clickSource=search&pos=1 |
