QUOTE(laut @ Jan 24 2012, 07:52 PM) hi can anyone guide me on how to backup all the info like contacts, office file IMHO, no need to backup your contacts as it is synced to the cloud via Windows Live, therefore, if you hard reset ur WP , once you reset, just login again with your Live ID , and all your contacts will be back. For Office document, there's an option for upload to Skydrive. Hope this helps

QUOTE(welwitchia @ Feb 4 2012, 10:05 AM) I have a question if u guys don't mind. I've had experience with 3 Mango phones. HTC HD7, Radar, & one LG phone (can't remember the model). In all 3 of them, Whatsapp doesn't get new message notifications. They only come flooding in when i manually launch the app. Is there actually a solution to this problem? This is one of the main reasons why I sold of the Radar...and now with the impending release of Lumia 800, my hands are itchy again. I've always loved the Ui of WP7 but I rely on Whatsapp a lot (well, no iMessage).. so I really want this "problem" to be resolved. Thx! i've bee using Whatsapp on WP7 since it was launched. so far no issue. please bear in mind that whatsapp keep updated from time to time I suggest that you follow WPcentral on FB or Twitter to get latest news on WP7

QUOTE(pzo @ Feb 7 2012, 08:08 PM) Nokia shop at mines also already display the banners, but also no demo yet, they said will be available at Friday. The release is nationwide, but the event only held at our capital and maybe some others big city. Lumia 710 for 999 damn cheap! (with spec almost similar to htc radar), and Lumia 800 for 1650. With Nokia Drive and Navigator, this device is really worth the money. Too bad i just recently bought HTC radar. sigh.. Honestly im glad Nokia and Microsoft team up, Nokia is the real hp maker, and Microsoft is the real OS hardware maker (unlike google) so we can expect continuous support from this giant. But without Nokia, idont think Microsoft will ever care about us at small nation. Nokia has been in Asia for long time already, common sense if its not because of Nokia, WP7 and Marketplace will never officially available in Malaysia. So guys, raise your support to Nokia! and Microsoft (So they can improve this nice phone os)! agreed, i bet, if Nokia did not team up with MIcrosoft, we cannot expect Malaysia to have its own marketplace, same like XBOX360, until now, not officially supported  . Kudos to Nokia!!

ayam sad, switched to Malaysia Live ID, but it seems many popular apps not available for Malaysian marketplace . I miss apps like WPCentral, Mehdoh, YoutubePro, and many more...ah well, as long as I can buy apps using local credit card
Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the future

QUOTE(JasonWilton @ Feb 11 2012, 04:20 PM) one of my friend bashed me today for using windows phone.... all he knows about is windows mobile... he says what im using now is windows mobile "aiya i hate windows mobile one... soo sucks" and he said htc phones are all android... what the fish? i told him straight to the face know about phones then only open your mouth.... but to me one major drawbacks for windows phone is that the bluetooth doesnt support file transfer, one of my friend wants to get the lumia 800 but he is hesitating because it has no bluetooth... then another friend asked me whether windows phone has alot of apps or not... i just told him that the main ones are here already and its the trend that is ruining people from trying windows phone... he seems to like my mozart then his galaxy ace  edit : and this forum has been changed to windows phone and not windows mobile anymore... good  agreed, all my my office mate use BB/Iphone or Android and they said that Windows Phone is 'garbage'. I just don't care what they said. Coming from ex-Android user (which turns up to be laggy and always require task killer, since the OS does not have smart memory management), I prefer WP7 now since it is so smooth and never lags + never crash

QUOTE(zuhaili87 @ Feb 13 2012, 09:59 PM) this is my first time using WP7, i find it quite strict, unlike other OS. Everything need to be sync. And i am having a hard time choosing region, if i chose malaysia, the language will change to malay and seems like marketplace apps will be less, but if change to singapore apps much more. And also have to change my PC region as well to sync. Lol. Really can't stand the sync system so far. And i want to ask about games, since the apps of WP7 is so expensive compare to other OS, say if i download the demo, how long can i play the games? is it in certain amount of time? or the game itself will be restricted to certain level? hope all WP7 sifu can answer my question.  the trial game have no time restriction, it's just that you can only play up to certain level, and if you want to unlock achievement (for XBOX Live games) , you will need to buy the apps my advice is, set your WLID to Singapore, and purchase Ambank Nexg Prepaid Mastercard, and for the billing address, you can put your real address except for the postcode, it needs to be Singapore postcode This post has been edited by jackal_x2005: Feb 13 2012, 11:49 PM

QUOTE(bulkbiz @ Feb 15 2012, 01:23 AM) How come I cannot find??? By the way I am using Malaysia marketplace, I don't plan to crack it to use US or Singapore marketplace ..... Many apps missing + no support for XBOX live games for Malaysian marketplace. That's why it is best that you set your Live ID to Singapore and use local cc with Singapore postcode. Pls refer to evilpuppy's method

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Feb 15 2012, 06:57 PM) M$ just officially expanding the marketplace few weeks ago, have to wait month or two before it can really fully operate. agreed, need to have a lot of patience, one of the advantage is able to buy using local credit card. but no support for XBL , and many apps missing, so I'm switching back to SG ID temporarily

QUOTE(baoz @ Feb 16 2012, 07:34 PM) I still can't get on the Malaysian Marketplace. Done these few things... 1. Mine is Maxis set, and is default set to Malaysia as the region. 2. Have an existing Windows Live ID which has been set to Malaysia. 3. Created a dummy Windows Live account set to Malaysia from the beginning. 4. Using a Malaysian credit card for billing. 5. Hard reset my phone twice. ????????? My billing page is in Malay. Yet when I try to download an app it says "not available in your country/region". Both on computer and on the phone itself. If the marketplace really isn't available in Malaysia yet, I'm willing to wait. But fellow forumers here all can access...? as what has been mentioned by evilpuppy, Malaysian Marketplace does not have many apps due to waiting for developers to resubmit their apps. like me, I am able to buy apps using Malaysian cc using M'sian WLID. however, since many apps is missing, i did a hard reset and use WLID that is set to SG instead. you may need to wait for a month and see how things going

QUOTE(danielcmugen @ Feb 20 2012, 04:05 PM) How is it like? Each note will take up 1 whole tile? Or perhaps 4 pinned notes in 1 tile, as in the tile is divided into 4 small squares. Can? some apps like Tile Notes can pin your notes to a tile. I believe 1 note per tile

QUOTE(carlitofreak @ Feb 23 2012, 12:24 PM) My battery was even worse. Last night before I went to sleep at 10.30pm, I decide to turn off my data as to save my battery. At that time my battery level was at 85%. So to my surprise, when i woke up this morning at 6.30 am and checked my phone battery level left only 38%. without any data it consume much more power? its so weird and wrong Any idea? simple, before go to sleep, turn off Data connection since there are some apps that will checking Internet for the latest updates especially the one that utilize live tile. You can check it from Settings>Applications>Background Task hope this helps
