1) i dont think windows phone has this feature for some reason

2) flipping the phone when you get a call will put it to silent, not vibrate
*
1) it does come out in "highlight" when i update the os thru zune last nite.. it's on the 1st update out of 3 updates in total.

2) owh.. it's WHEN got call received.. i tot whenever u put back at top, it automatically put in silence.. tongue.gif

Lets list down what kind of app, maybe we can share which one is really useful. For me so far:

Whats App - Standard
Malaysia Cinema - Show schedule for cinema in Malaysia
9Gag - Standard
BookViser - Reading e-book, got cloud support with Skydrive and Dropbox
Flashlight XT - Good flashlight app
FB - Standard
IM+ - For YM and MSN chat(works on background)
WP7 news - Latest about Windows Phone and misc
GNN(Game news Now) - Gaming news
GPSInfo - To make sure whether your GPS is working or not ;p
Handyscan - Scanning of documents
PC File Download - Transfer files between PC and phone(using wifi IP)
PC Remote - You can use your phone as remote mouse, keyboard or even remote access your whole desktop, but its a bit slow(using wifi IP)
SkyMusic - If you hate using Zune for transferring songs, you can use this. Just upload songs to your Skydrive and download to phone by using this app. Then play it offline. Just don't expect it to load on artist pics like Zune does.
Skyscanner - Flight schedule
YouRang - Create ringtone directly from Youtube
YouTube Pro - You can download youtube videos and play it offline

oooh...then im not sure, i haven't seen an option for it yet. Maybe one of the sifu's here could help
yeah, i think its only around that. but unless you load alot of movies into your phone, its sufficient. most of the apps in the marketplace are only around 1mb anyways.

thanks chonglol..

and i think my phone also got previous problem like yours with the GPS.
since i bought it 2nd hand, the receipt is not with me but got the warranty card.

should i go to the shop first or can go straight to any NCC?
i read somewhere (maybe on your post at nokia forum) that NCC will charge rm30 to check AP phone. is this true?

let say i want the hardware change, will i get charge or they replace it FOC?

i really want the gps functioning as it's one of the main feature for lumia. sad.gif

How to get US region apps:

1) Register another hotmail account but don't put Malaysia as the region.

2) Reset your phone and enter that e-mail as the 1st profile. Dont worry, you can add your old hotmail as 2nd profile with People and Push E-mail working as before with the same contacts added.

ps - I did it with my wife phone and now she can download apps from US region and getting X-box live as well.

For AGPS problem, it is HARDWARE problem, so people, send your lumia to nokia service centre and get it repaired for free.

uncompatible like how bro? if contact transfer to other phone or vice versa, yes, but if to transfer file, then lumia doesnt do that all yet. wait until upgrade to 7.8, then it will be enabled as i heard recently.

spot on! i cant transfer file via bluetooth..
contact transfer no problem.. i see.. then wait for the upgrade lor.. thanks for informing

US is the best loh as we can see more and more apps...but anyway sometimes we also doesnt need the app if we are in malaysia.

nokia pandu or nokia drive or nokia apa-apa doesnt really matter as long as it is working on our phone but i bet not all L710 owners are that lucky... sweat.gif

more apps? hmmm.. maybe i'll reset my phone later..

just to update that i've collected my phone.. they said only fix the software.
but so far so good. the gps voice now can be played.. but dunno how the gps will work or not.
now in the office it shows A-GPS. HAccuracy now showing some value.. last time only stuck at 3000meters

will try and update you guys later..

good luck to you Taipan do keep us updated with the outcome biggrin.gif make sure you check using the offline mode to see if it's really working

& welcome Mixologist biggrin.gif yes even lumia 610 can beat the BB already in term of UI but i still like BB in term of the stability of the software and its apps whereby WP still have to catch up in some areas rclxms.gif

good news indeed!!! my gps seems working fine now. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
last time i got the below problem
1) voice not play in gps (even installed with voice)
2) only A-GPS mode selected (test by using GPSinfo)
3) HAccuracy & Vaccuracy always stuck at 3000m each.


and i've test them outside my office today. went to open place.
1) full GPS mode detected (test with GPSinfo)
2) Haccuracy & vaccuracy showing few meters difference only
3) voice now function properly

can't check further as the battery flat tongue.gif
but hope everything is going to be fine.

so if anyone is still having problem. can go any nokia care. i believe they now get the correct software to fix the problem. few isolated issue might be related with hardware as i read in forum before.

in my case, it took only 1 day for them to fix.
sent on wednesday afternoon.
check status on thursday night and it shows "ready for collection"
receive call on friday morning to collect.
overall very satisfied with the service.
i went to amcorp nokia care btw.. thumbup.gif

thanks nickyew.

guess what, i dont need to update my phone as it's already updated when i check thru zune.

and i think App highlight by nokia is a must have. i got "Contact Share" through this app. you won't see this Contact Share in Malaysia marketplace.

and if you would like to know what is top software in other region, you don't need to reset the hp, just change the region+language settings. but the contra is, your marketplace is still in malaysia. only for Apps Highlight you can change region. smile.gif

Guys.. Just want to share my experience.. I did check my imei in internet and found that my hp is for britain market.. Is my hp consideres ap set? But ncc never charge me anything when i sent for repair.

How to check whether our hp is original or ap set?

And just to share.. Since i didnt have the receipt with me, ncc only refer to manufacturing date for warranty claim. My hp is manufactured on march 2012.
If u have receipt, then the warranty shall follow the date of purchase.

i GUESS if it is ORI by Avaxx or Zitron the set and battery should bear their stickers as they are the sole distributors for Nokia in Malaysia and the SIRIM sticker as well whereby AP sets always with the sticker of the shop from where you buy the set from (eg. ABC Telecomunication etc...)

i also GUESS that nowadays they are using online system and they dont depend on those warranty card / receipt so much like before; so lets say you buy from a handphone shop (other than nokia shop) which bear the Avaxx or Zitron sticker, so once the phone is sold to you the shop will notify the authorized dealer/nokia maybe not immediately, maybe on weekly/monthly basis during inventory updates. so your set is automatically under warranty. Warranty card and receipt is just a backup and to be precised on the date and just in case if anything else happen.

about the IMEI issue i have no idea how to GUESS icon_question.gif and for NCC it is always hard to guess their reaction towards certain issue, they never fail to surprise us LOL!
*
LOL. i think i'm lucky enough coz they're not checking whether it's AP or Ori.
all they know if it's still under manufactured date warranty, then no issue i guess.

but when i asked my father in law (yeah i bought from him 2nd hand at rm500 tongue.gif), he did mention the shop register the phone via online. dunno true or not.. tongue.gif

just open the back cover and battery, there should be plenty of AVAXX stickers I guess....

Never heard before that Nokia CC is servicing AP sets for free....I'd be happy if its true cos mine is also AP set from Singapore lol.
*
lol. so easy. hahah. ya got AVAXX sticker.
i tot it's AP since the IMEI showing the phone is for Great Britain region.
i forgot which link that i use

thanks by the way for the tips tongue.gif

is it Plaza 1 Shamelin? it is just few hundred metres from my office, previously i always go there (old town) to use their wifi before i discover that our lumia can use our laptop/desktop's internet connection...mind if i tag along wink.gif  just wanna be busy body tongue.gif or maybe we can organize a mini lumia users' gathering brows.gif anyone?
but i dont see much shop open inside there, maybe i didnt explore enough...
anyway i found the price in your FaceBook links not cheap? maybe 2-3 times of the price from Ebay rclxub.gif
*
hahaha.. i dunno.. it's all depends on our choice..
if buy there, expensive, but ready stock, and guarantee received the item.

if ebay has it's own +ve & -ve thing to consider
up to individual preference. i want to go find some screen protector. i know lyn forummer did sell. but want to look around first.
