available for window phone meh?

Alamak for some reason mine doesn't update.... How to fix this

I previously used Lumia 800...; because of some issues i changed to Android...
Now i am thinking of switching back to Windows...

but I have unresolved issues with Windows Phone
______________________

1) Do they have "Search" function for SMS or memo/reminders or calendars?

Do Windows have function to search through all the SMSes?
...or do i have to scroll and screen every possible messages in the phone?
2) Flash player.
If i want to surf web that require flash player.... which alternative browser do you guys use?
(on Android i am using Mozilla... but windows have no mozilla)..

Okay when you say FB live tile update, what does that mean and what does it do in the Live Tile? I receives toast notification of any new notifications and the live tile will only show how many new notifications I have.

I seldom see a reviewer that hates the Lumia 920, here is one of them:

"The phone is slow at taking pictures that end up systematically a bit blur and is simply unusable under low light."
@@ Then what phone is usable under low light?

Guys, mind to share what is your previous phone before getting Lumia 920?

My current phone is HTC Radar and I'm planning to get a white or yellow Lumia 920

iPhone 4S changed to Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Nexus as back up, then sold Galaxy Nexus, kept SGS3 for 6 month, then sold it, got DROID DNA. In between that, changed my daily driver from 4S to SGS3, when SGS3 sold, purchased and been using iPhone 5 as daily driver since. DROID DNA as backup phone while traveling (World phone with LTE), then got my first WP8 with Lumia 920. All three phones in possession.

2013? HTC M7? Sony Yuga/Experia Z? Oppo Find 5? Hands-on before decide.

Low and midlevel Android devices does that. Bloated UI does that. Which is why stock Google Android devices like Nexus 4 are most sought after because they run stock UI, and no bloatware.

High end Android devices, with 2GB RAM and latest quad core processors do not exhibit any lag.

From my reading, phone manufactures have to put quad core processor, higher RAM and everything in their Android devices to make sure the devices run smoothly. On the other side, Windows Phone doesn't need all those because the OS can run smoothly without any lag by using only single (WP 7.5) and double (WP 8) core processor. Don't knowlah. This is from what I've read lah..

good choice

If you do not change the configuration of your phone, by constantly installing new apps and putting more live widgets on homescreens, it does not lag. I've used my SGS3 for 6 months, and I left it alone running apps installed remaining the same 5 months before that, it works beautifully without any hiccups. It's the chronic "wanna try this, wanna install that app" users who don't really need them but install the app "for fun" that complained about the phone slowing down. And my SGS3 had just 1GB RAM, carefully managed which apps runs in the background and which app runs only when I tap on them. Android devices are tinkering devices, you cant just trigger-happy-install everything and expect it to run like butter. Some tinkering is required, in which, if you're not inclined to tinker, then a WP8 or iOS device is more suitable for your needs. And also, once you got everything down running nicely, got itchy go change things by adding more things to run in the background. You've just achieved equilibrium and now you're tipping it back towards chaos.

The real test of how a smartphone perform in real life IS TO LEAVE things running in the background. I leave FB/Twitter/Google+ as well as apps I use all the time, running in the background and I still get uncompromised performance and a whole day's battery life out of my DNA.

I agree on the terminating apps that are not necessary, but "what is necessary" and what is not, is subjective from one user to another. I definitely DO NOT leave apps requiring position update (GPS, Google Maps, etc) and games running in the background, that will kill your battery in an instant.

Speaking of which, WP8's way of "running in the background" is pretty weak. I can't leave more than 6 apps running in the background before the other apps stops updating in real time, which in turn, causes the live tiles to stop updating too. The battery polling live tile only updates every 30 minutes too, WTF!

Which means I can only have 6 properly updating live tiles? I felt cheated.

The tiles flipping around or animating DOES NOT MEANS it is updating. And when I say 6 apps, those are 6 apps in the multitasking tray when you press the back button. Some apps with live tiles, does not update their live tiles unless you  include them in 6 apps with live tiles that updates in background. Example of this app is Weather Flow. Some updates their live tiles no matter how many apps are running in the background. So if I choose to continue using Weather Flow, I have to limit apps with live tiles running on the background to 5 (since Weather Flow will be the 6th app running)? How ridiculous is that?

Apps that come from stock OS like People tile or Xbox Games will always update. But I even had problems getting Store updates appearing on its live tile, because of that previous restriction I mentioned.

If that is the case, then it should not be called Live Tile at all if it is not updating its app content "live". Live tile in this case is just a nice animated square icon. Reason why Live Tile is compelling is because you dont have to open the app to see the content, the content is being displayed(in concise form) on the tile itself. If it does not update, what's the point of having that tile in the home screen other than a shortcut to launch the app?

Email apps are different. Email apps polls their server every predetermined period (15/30/60 mins) or if the server-client protocol allows it, send toast notification whenever there is a new email in the mailbox. I see toast notification on new FaceBook and Twitter status/tweets, but I only see "number of new emails" on the "Live Tile" of that email app, that does not update properly unless I go into the app by launching them, and syncing. This part of WP8 simply baffles me.

Man, I have a full bar at 6am and was on a flight trip to KL. Check in here and there, some whatsapp, some surfing and some fb-Ing and I have only 20% left by 2pm. Luckily I brought my charger with me and charging in the airport. I think I need to buy an external charger. Anyone has the Nokia brand one? If so how was it?
