Only setting and my music.

Congrats string. Been quiet these past 2 days because need to calm down after venting in WPCentral due to the fark-up by MS & Nokia about Portico & PR1.1. MS & Nokia needs a lot of work with regards to the roll out of Updates. I have a suspicion this is a Nokia issue and not an MS issue. Gimme my Wifi always On!!!

As for Mix radio, Nokia music just got updated and I dunno what happened but I have Mix Radio now. Didn't have it before because my Sim was a Saudi sim, so I am not complaining. The Store updates doesn't seem to work for me so you may need to go into the store and select Nokia Music (or any other app) and if there is an update, it should tell you and you can install the update.

I'm still contemplating of hard-resetting my Lumia 920 to see if my battery will be better calibrated. There will be times when the unit will heat up and the battery will drain super fast. Someone in WPCentral mentioned that a hard reset should fix it but I don't know if the backup/restore is similar to the iOS where everything (except the apps) is restored. My main concern is my whatsapp chat history.

Has anyone tried a hard reset and restore? Does your whatsapp history comes back after the restore?

If Mix Radio is something akin to Pandora, it would be a welcome addition but not something I'd lose sleep over. Been dabbling with lossless audio on portable amplifiers and most of my music are in FLAC/AIFF residing in 160GB iPod Classic. It's nice to have that option in Mix Radio (if that's what it does), but I've tasted the poison of lossless audiophile, and anything less would be a downgrade somewhat.

But, I digress. Do not get into audiophile, it's a money sucking hobby...sigh. tongue.gif

The Lumia 920 has pretty good Dolby Headphones and equalizer settings, although I tend to listen to my music without any coloration tampered by equalizer setting. I let the portable DAC and amps do that job.

I'll be using it with SP....provided that it does not impede on the screen's capabilities of using it with gloves/super-sensitiveness. IF it does, then I'll use it naked.

No case for me, I want that red to show, I'll be carrying it in a pouch. The sad thing is, the only pouch I can find that fits the 920 is a 2.5" external HDD neoprene pouch. Longgar like hell. Need a tighter fitting one.

Which means we probably should create an sg based or us based main microsoft account to have xbox live?

On WP8 is different, I believe. You can change region anytime (with just a simple select and restart), not sure if it works for Xbox Live games though.

Update: Just dropped by Gardens Mid Valley, grabbed 2 units of 920 rclxms.gif
