Added on August 5, 2012, 11:08 amThe weather channel from Nokia is quite useful. Better than Accuweather and the Microsoft weather.

Yes, certainly looks good with the implemented social feature and augmented reality. Yet doesn't support live tile so I'd say I still prefer Microsoft's Weather app. laugh.gif

Last nite. While waiting my eyes become sleepy, play some music. Then slow then volume down in stand by screen. Suddenly, the song stop and the fon didnt give any response while pressing the power button. Then plug in the ac charge. Cant on. Try few time using usb through laptop, then can on. Checking on the battery, 25% more left. Then, what happened just now? LOL

Suspecting the Zune problem. There was once I couldn't launch Zune. I launched Zune and it went back to the main screen. I had been like that until I restart the phone. O.o

speaking of Music player, has anyone bought albums from Nokia Music store?

Decided to bite the bullet and just ordered one. Prolly will get it by next week or so. My first smartphone also. Been using SLVR since 2007 laugh.gif.

So Q - do I need a screen protector? Kinda dislike the idea. What with the phone already comes with Gorilla Glass and all.
*
why hi there Fhaarkas. whistling.gif

Screen protector? Gorillas glass can withstand a lot of weight and it won't break but they won't promise you it's 100% scratch resistant, sometimes very fine sharp objects will scratch the surface, so best if you can get one.

Ohai! Yeah I kinda know a bit about GG reputation, but this being my first phone and all I'm totally clueless about SP lol. My main concern is responsiveness (critical!) and display colours. Been reading opinions in forums all day now and it looks like for my kind of use I probably won't need a protector. You should see my poor SLVR (fail logic 101 - if you're abusive, don't bother with protecting it since it's gonna end up abused anyway laugh.gif).

I'm thinking about settling with just a pouch. Looks cute too. wub.gif That chrome part at the back sure needs some protector though.

Responsiveness : Checked
Display Colours: Checked - ClearBlack AMOLED! notworthy.gif

You can enhance the screen colors better by applying "Clear SP", I dont know about how clear it goes but you have to ask aspire on this since he's using one. I'm on "Diamond SP", which gives you texture and glitter effects when looking at different angle, I kinda like it.

Aye, flip case or a pouch may work for you. But I kinda like how my phone looks originally and because of that, the back metal was badly scratched. doh.gif

Sticker for authorized distributors are zitron or avaxx and possible to be arista too.

Make sure the IMEI on your phone and the box is identical.

Make sure put your simcard in your phone then make some phone calls then after that try shake the phone to see if it might lose network?


Added on August 8, 2012, 6:32 pm

my L800 no casing already got calar abit so lazy put haha. Put my L900 its crispy clear its even sharper than without.
*
My Lumia 900 dropped two bars after shaking and after awhile no affect already.

Strange, my phone doesn't have any stickers on the back (which suppose to be the first early batch to reach Malaysia), everything goes directly with Nokia if anything happens to my phone, that's what my seller told me anw.

make sure there is NO NETWORK issue tat might occur. Like one of the forumer in the Nokia N9 thread keep getting no network.


Added on August 8, 2012, 7:04 pm

if you have the receipt yes. Receipt override the sticker.
If seller never send your warranty card back to nokia for registration the system wont have your IMEI so it will show no record and if no receipt gg.

It was a "gift" set from Nokia, so no receipt issued.

Hold power button for 10 seconds or more to forcefully turn off the phone, wait for a couple of seconds and turn it on again. smile.gif

Well apparently my phone hanged because I was switching from Nokia Music and Zune player, it made the phone crashed because of conflict I guess. So I have to force shut down the phone and turn it on again.

What??? Secondary skl student can't use marketplace??? I registered an account and put my actual birth date, then I wanted to download apps and they said "Your account indicates that you're a kid, then dunno wat dun allow and all that". So now I'm trapped and the only way out is to reset the whole phone????? shakehead.gif doh.gif

Actually to be honest I'm not mad, but instead find it really funny...lulz. They think we still behave like kindergarten kids. laugh.gif

Ok done resetting.

It stated there US. So can use Malaysian credit card buy apps straight away? Or still must use the "How to link Malaysian credit card into your Singapore Windows Live account" if I dun want local marketplace?

Hmm...before registering, firefox allowed me to surf in betalabs. But after registering, firefox keep sangkut. rclxub.gif I'll try it on other browser, thx.

If you're login and you're directed to US Marketplace, and you have a working credit/debit card, by all means go ahead and purchase your app. But please do this on your browser to "test water" first.

I'm confused now, why does this guide exist?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Why need to susah2 change to SG and all that? Since by default it will bring u to the US marketplace, I'm not sure where it will head u to if your live account is registered under Malaysia since mine is SG. And...why the need of step 2 onwards? rclxub.gif I've only done step 1 and those xbox live thingy looks complete to me.

Let's say u register under Malaysian live account and it brings u to US marketplace by default. Assuming the user have never seen this guide, he would click "buy" to purchase an app. I've tried that and it asks u to add a credit card. Once u click "Add a credit card", it will ask u to sign in to your live acc and then key in your credit card details. It recognizes u as a Malaysian(mine SG since I registered under SG) user and got mastercard visa blablabla.

If can I wanna switch back to Malaysia liao, since still can use US marketplace. Unless after the credit card part, the marketplace switches to Malaysia? Anyone tried? icon_question.gif

A long long time ago...

Malaysia marketplace is not there yet and doesn't live up to other more WP focused country thanks to the local rules and regulations, many apps have to resubmit their apps in order to be display in Malaysia Marketplace specifically so during the early days of WP7, we have to register a SG or US account to get the most out of the Marketplace.

For example, moBudget can be seen in US market but not in MY market because the team behind moBudget didn't really update their app on Marketplace, the same goes to many many other apps out there so you won't get the complete one. There are many restrictions for WP7 in Malaysia, stuff like the Bing audio search(not sure if this still exists), local scout, zune market, xbox live and some others.

Selecting an app on the US marketplace under a MY registered account will teleports you to MY marketplace.

Nay, perhaps some conflicts with other apps? Maybe? I'm on Lumia 900, works great. Perhaps aspire can clarify on Lumia 800 since he owns both phones.

if you really scare you lose ur money too much in debit card, just get a prepaid Visa Card like Big Card I mentioned... It can be used worldwide, so you just need to reload the card before you use through online or ATM. The company is under AirAsia. > http://www.tune2big.com/my/en/
