Lumia transport isn't really good in kl....i searched from klcc to one utama, and it told me to take LRT from klcc To kelana jaya(correct) then WALK for 3 HOURS to one utama(WRONG!) When there are many buses from kelana jaya station going to one utama... LOL

I hope it gets better over time...but I can't blame them for not being able to put bus schedules in...our rapidkl isn't known known for keeping schedules anyways biggrin.gif


I'll check out that app, thanks for the tip wink.gif

How did you manage to get that Nokia Transport app again? It didn't appear on my Nokia Collection yo.

try changing your phone region settings to US or UK and try..

I think that's because Nokia Transit does not officially support Malaysia (though it does work, to a certain degree). I have a Lumia 800 with U.S. Marketplace, I can find it in the Nokia Collection. When I first launch the app, they will warn me that my location is not support, just ignore it and it can be used.

yeah, im well aware many apps have not been fully integrated or support Malaysia. Well that's probably also why many apps are not available here or are region specific.

if anyone is up for it, you could go to nokia beta labs and get the nokia transport 2.0 Beta, it works a little better, but still not 100%

it wasn't always the wave but also getting the horizon in a straight line that was difficult, maybe because the lumia 710 doesn't have a gyroscope?


Photosynth

the link above is to the photo i tried to take this afternoon tongue.gif

Simple, when you send an SMS to more than 1 person, Windows Phone compose the message as an MMS. Depending on your phone brand and/or network operator, you may not have an MMS profile on your phone, thus the sending failed.

ooooohh.....that probably why, Thanks! thumbup.gif

so i found out that that bing music search can identify mandarin songs as well!

my co-workers were trying to figure out this one mandarin song that was playing on the radio, and i just decided to try using my phone and well...it found the song within 30 seconds even though i was about 15feet away from the radio and there were people talking and photocopier making copies, bing didnt have a problem.

i dont really understand mandarin that well (BANANA) but at least my phone does! LOL

if its old news, just ignore this post haha smile.gif

how did you do that ? I can't track any song with the voice option @@

Its not the voice feature (I'm guessing your talking about what happens when you hold down the windows button), its Bing music in the search page next to Bing vision or it could be due to your region settings...

Try changing your browser and search language to US and see if you get the Bing music feature. You will see local scout there as well but it doesn't work for us here in Malaysia.

It works! rclxm9.gif When the buy button is pushed, it will go into the payment page and verification,a prompt saying that you have previously installed this app, would you like to re-install will show up.

Thanks bro smile.gif

You can always log in to your Marketplace on browser and click "reinstall" on the apps there but the marketplace doesn't has a proper app management in my opinion, so scrolling through the long list to look for the apps that you want to install.  laugh.gif

I knew about the app history thing, but i didnt know if i could reinstall an app that i originally got when it was free that has become a paid app without paying for it.


Okay now another question.

SHOULD I unlock and flash a custom ROM on my Lumia 710?

I already need to hard restart my phone as its already lagging a little and little bugs + self restart every now and then. So im not worried about losing data other than some game progress data but thats unavoidable sad.gif .

So, i need to know the positives vs negatives of unlocking and flashing.

Will it void my warranty?
Can i restore it back to the stock ROM if i ever need to send it to nokia care?
Is there any work being done on improving USSD function's in a custom ROM?
Also will it allow me to get paid apps for free? whistling.gif


Thanks for any help thumbup.gif

Anybody want to get casing or anything from this site for that matter for their phones? I want to but the shipping is going to cost almost the same as the case itself.
So if anybody else wants to get anything can we share?

http://store.wpcentral.com/t-mobile-lumia-710-cases.htm

I only want the Amzer skin case in Black. Nothing else.

Thanks smile.gif

Guys, small problem here.
Are you guys getting the new bing wallpaper automatically for your start screen after the WP7.8 update?
I have to manually go into settings > lock+wallpaper > hit picture from wallpaper and then hit bing again to get the newly updated bing wallpaper.  vmad.gif

I thought there was a bug as well, but i have since noticed that it wont change every 24hours on the dot, sometimes earlier and sometimes later. It will also require internet connection to get the new picture as well.

Rest easy bro, the pictures will change eventually.

Got the notification for update this afternoon. Just updated now. Lumia 710.

Noticeable improvement in app launching speed.

never had a live tile issue before this so cant say that it was fixed.
