yeah but I wish there is an option to have a list of trusted senders. It's just a little bit of a hassle to have to touch the Download images everytime I open an email from Facebook to see my notification email.

I don't think you can see it together with your contacts on the phone but you can import the contacts. Settings --> Swipe to the left --> People --> Import Sim Contacts

I think the battery indicator or the battery reporting by the OS is innacurate at best. The battery was fully charge at 11PM last night and I took it off the plate. By 6AM, the phone reports that I have 99% left (so not too shabby ... off course the 3G was off but Wifi On but Wifi automatically switches off if the phone goes to sleep so basically nothing is on), at 6:30, the battery went down to 95% with me probably just checking the weather on Accuweather and nothing else. Sat down and had coffee and biscotti for my usual morning coffee and input some data in Bank Account Manager (pay day today ...) and read some new posts in LYN, phone became a bit warm (not too warm like usual, probably because I uninstalled Skype last night for the battery testing) and checked the battery at 6:55AM and it's down to 86% ... that's 9% drain in 25 minutes .... I have a suspicion that the battery reading by the OS is not correct. It can't be that the battery has not been calibrated yet as I have had this phone for close to a month already.

Portico won't come to international set until february at the earliest.

I have uninstalled Skype and it seems the Phone doesn't get as warm as before and the battery drainage as shown by the graph in Battery Status with 3G always on is quite consistent (in Engineering Terms, the decline curve is quite stable). We'll see how it goes today.

Even Malaysia's HTC 8x? Yes, a lot of people are quite pissed with Nokia for the delay in getting Portico. I think it's Nokia's fault and not MS (as HTC 8x is getting theirs much earlier). Nokia wanted to roll out portico AND the firmware update to fix the camera and that is the reason why it's delayed ... they can talk cock about trying to get compatibility with all operators but that doesn't explain the unbranded 920 not getting it.

Goddammmit. That just pisses me off with Nokia. It brought back memories of why I was so pissed with the Nokia N8 2 years ago ...

Saw this in All things Digital which is a good read about Social Apps in WP8 and soem of the alternatives

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-be...indows-phone-8/

It's all down to marketing espcially to the mass consumers. That's when Samsung,went on the offensive to differentiate what its phones can do compared to the iPhone, the marketing technique works. HTC and Nokia for that matter should do the same thing.

This is easy.

Settings --> Language + region

Change the country to whatever you want.

Instagram have that userbase where you can share your photos and people can comment & like etc. I think Lomogram allows you to just do the filter on your photos. I don't know if Lomogram have a connection with Facebook/Twitter where you can share your photos automatically or not.

I am on 2G as well because most of the time in the office I just need to whatsapp. If I need to download soemthing big for my email, I will switch it on to 3G and once I'm done, switch it back to 2G. When I'm home with Wifi, I switch off cellular data altogether. My battery now lasts approximately 27 hours with my usage behaviour whic is good enough for me.

Settings --> Cellular --> Data Connection --> OFF

Yes, using 2G I am only losing about 3% per hour.

I have the same "problem" sometime can last 30 hours, sometime can last 18 hours .... ikut sedap dia je. So when I say I want to hard reset, then the battery behaves .... when I start to feel confident about the battery, then it drains like crazy .....

Lumia 920 does not have USB OTG. In fact, it's a WP8 issue not a Nokia issue.

Yeah but that would wipe the device clean.

For those who did do a hard reset, can I ask if you backup your stuff what is restored when you restore your backup?

Anyway knows?

Can you guys confirm if the whatsapp chat messages are restored as well? I know that in iOS, if you restore your backup, the whatsapp chat history is also restored.

Based on Navifirm, the Portico update is already available for Vietnam and HK units and also Australia and New Zealand ... nothing on APAC MY units

Added on December 27, 2012, 5:03 pmAhwwwww shit. I don't see the setting to email the chat history either but then again, I hate having to do backup that way. I like the way iOS does it, it saves the chat history as part of the application data that it backs up and when the app is restored, the application data is automatically associated with the app and then you have everything like it was before ....
