I think it does charge the phone while homescreen is lock and idle, just the battery icon will stay at empty while charging. To confirm, use either battery monitor or simply use sleeping screen (download from nokia store, free) to check.

Experience the same camera freeze issue once (on FP2) this morning while pressing hard on camera button. It was running fine but once i take a photo, it freezes (and the photo is not saved). Then i realized i actually downloaded the best screen cap from 808 fan club site yesterday, uninstalled and reinstalled the version in nokia store. So far back to normal again.
eidda: is there a setting to make gallery thumbnail to view this small? |

eidda: thanks for the clarification
Although my stay with FP1 is not long (1 week +) before i updated into FP2, never see this gallery problem coming in (and hopefully we all dont have to). But there are some inconvenience in usability, there's no more on screen touch volume control in music/video, and the New T9 keyboard giving performance/problematic issues to old timer. (i think these are the few elements borrowed from N9, even the on/off switch controls in language looks quite identical to N9) |

Is there any good wired headset for 808? Accessories comes with 6 months warranty @ any NCC. As stated in > http://download.fds-ncom.nokia.com/support...ows_APAC_en.pdfThere are plenty good wired headsets for 808 QUOTE(pokjak_290 @ Oct 15 2012, 07:13 PM) Warranty not void yes, but if happens to brick the phone while software update via Nokia Suite or OTA, charges might apply when sending back to NCC to reinstall firmware even if it's under warranty period Monster Vs Monster This post has been edited by realjazzcoke: Mar 2 2013, 06:10 AM |

QUOTE(hadykucing @ Oct 22 2012, 08:46 PM) Do you mean the Menu icon in background should not overlap with the search function?It is sad that the legacy of Symbian (Nokia Belle) ends with PureView 808 for now. Nokia now are more focused on Hardware OEMs for Windows phone. And Nokia axed most of the Symbian developer's software to Windows Platform in order to add its advantageous over competitors |

QUOTE(peter32 @ Oct 23 2012, 12:58 PM) Actually I think its a natural progression of a device. Its better for them to focus on hardware, and let software eco system to grow on their own. The problem is that Nokia chose Win OS instead of others. I do agree with that, as this is their last chance and also last dance. We ain't want another fruit product which MS tries to rebrand their OS in disguise (restrictions and limitation), but i think they have adopt this nature since they foresee the fruit's revenue. If this don't work out of them... I really doubt that the pureview 41Mpix in win8 might just end up becoming a prototype While they may have problem with the OS initially, they will let the Microsoft to handle software tweak from now on. it save them time and resources. My guess is that after the start of this win8, nokia may focus on dedicated tweak on win8 to run their specific hardware resources. So its not impossible for them to introduce winOS that recognise pureview 41MPix camera in due course. Android is now what "symbian" should have really involve into... surpassing the "freedom" what symbian can offer way back then. And it is from every espect, from hardware specs, market's unlimited software & games (quality), wide multimedia coverage (camera & video shot, video & audio playback) , OS software updates, insane rate of accessories availability. They really got everything covered to make most users cash out their money on their gadgets. |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Oct 23 2012, 02:48 PM) Actually Nokia have such OS... it's called Maemo, which then become MeeGo after they partner with Intel. Yup. I do know Maemo, only advantages on OS doesn't really fill in the gap in modern era, or to say, it is not completing the whole mobile experience. You can only look for developer's limited software eco, and its even makes the market harder to get their accessories to complement the experience when the phone is not going to sell well.If you have used Maemo, it could easily surpass Android. Don't talk about MeeGo, although it's nice, it's like a more slimmed down or simplified version of Maemo with many features missing. While some may say, it's not necessary, etc. the key point is let user decide and choose, let them customize what they want. But giving a simplified version with features missing means, the thing is no longer available, you can't have it anymore. BUT, if having the feature, one can turn it off in options and customize to their preference. I'm still having the N900, sometimes when I use it, I still feel it's better than the S3 especially the web browsing experience, nothing can beat that to date. To think that it's only a A8-600Mhz with 256MB physical memory device, yet it's performing exceptionally well and smooth. Back then optimization is treated with real respect (Andy214: N900 was one of the good example, well performed phone in limited choice of hardware & technology on its era I agree that letting the user to decide on features/options/customization was the right way to go, after all, we are the ones that going to use the phones after all Andy214: Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro in short was real eyecatching there |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Oct 23 2012, 03:41 PM) What kind of mobile experience? Seems you have answered most of the mobile experience that was missing from N900:) From casual to serious user, they wont able to taste the true power of the phone (ex: the phone might able to do OTG for serious gamers to play on real gamepad for gaming, in accessories category, and to enhance the gaming experience) These are the few phones that are DOA from the start as test lab rats,ex: N900 & N9, without proper software market segment and user centric in the first place (Due to both are new platforms, they have to rework the codings & optimization, really time consuming). If Software Eco, Nokia should work hard and push, bring softwares over, etc. The one main reason Maemo didn't do well is because the lack of apps/games in market (or Nokia Store), although there's tons of apps actually available. Plus, it was the first tablet smartphone (previous Maemo has no phone functionality), and it doesn't have capacitive touch screen. If Nokia had work on it and bring in more developers, apps/games, come up with more competitive hardware, I'm sure it will be a success. Using the N900 back, it was the only smartphone with full flash, it's the only smartphone you can surf Facebook in Desktop mode like a real Desktop, you can activate mouse cursor on web browser and do mouse-required operations, multi-tasking is a breeze and so easy and convenient. In short, using the N900 back then it's like having a mini laptop/netbook in hand. With smartphones today, even the great Galaxy Note, it can't give this similar experience because it's still lacking in terms of multi-tasking, web browsing experience, etc. Haha, the SEX Pro was used in SEX Pro thread and also among my colleagues/friends, we prefer to use "alternate" names, haha. e.g. I've just converted/join Samseng "kia", hey, we got new Samseng "poh", etc. Android know about the weakness that you mention, but they are coming real strong on that, from officials and the xda's. I understand the comparison, as on some aspect, ex: android wont able to record full hd video even on single core with GPU, where 808 already excels there (4x lossless zoom somemore^^), but i'm not sure a 41mp photo can be handle in dual/quad core android beast, someone can give a hand here?) Hopefully 808 can stay with me for awhile longer New slags acquired |

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Oct 29 2012, 09:25 PM) [/spoiler] Impressive work mate. But the last photo abit over contrast the rest good Added on October 29, 2012, 9:27 pm Nokia N9 on monster headset sound average like very creamy feeling. Tested di. But with wolfson audio chip i was amazed of the bass and clarity. QUOTE(Agito666 @ Oct 29 2012, 10:02 PM) Thanks for the sifus comments As for audio, aside for n91. Usually all audio output is more or less the same (Nokia set is still good in producing natural audio) . For those on Bass & treble, early stages of SE Walkman series simply blows the competition out of the water with their Mega Bass settings & HPM70 earpiece (the 1st that brought in in-ear type earpiece to mobile business i guess) Couldn't agree more that wolfson audio chip was that good, if with a nice headset to match:) This post has been edited by realjazzcoke: Oct 30 2012, 06:40 AM |

QUOTE(Andy214 @ Dec 3 2012, 11:56 AM) LoL, N8 blows L920 out of water. Couldn't Agree more on how the second best camera phone is still holding up strong:) let alone low light comparison (still N8 got proper Xenon to freeze the scene, not some fancy name "LED" flash)As for 808 comparison, they forgot the main strength of 808, the 38MP file or the lossless zoom. They compare lowlight with static object which is the strength of L920 due to it's Optical Stabilizer, so of course it will be better than 808 because it's able to use slow shutter hand held. If 808 is on tripod and able to use similar exposure, then we'll see which can actually take better overall quality picture. The main strength of 808 is the extremely high megapixel picture (38MP) or we can use lossless zoom, when you use PureView 3MP mode, you can zoom in quite a lot and yet getting true 3MP with amazing detail, try that with other phone cameras and see, you'll be shocked by the BIG difference. PureView does initially improved over the standard 8MP shooter and sets a new benchmark in low light condition, but they still need more that what they have to take down even the second best camera phone down in daylight detailed resolution, N8 does not even have the PureView tech back then. (That is why "rumor" says every new firmware upgrades of N8 recently, is to turn down N8 imaging department, some users reported that image quality is lesser than previous firmware, yet to confirm this statement though) Sadly, this is how they want to segment these 2 different PureView phones in different camera category (Marketing PR), as Nokia has past the point of no return by alliance with M$ for their future Nokia can work phase 1 + 2 or even 3 (unknown) in the initial 808 or future symbian (if there is going to be any), but then this definitely will steal the light of Lumia series camera phone feature and that M$ & Nokia CEO wont be so happy about it:D since they have already rip every bits of symbian development to M$ private use...

QUOTE(eidda @ Feb 6 2013, 11:41 PM) i feel like same performance or slightly better than ori, just over 400mAh at least use Mugen 3000mAh so we can know different both. if the 1800 same performance as 1400 ori consider ok edi:) Actual is based on how you use the phone. Since not same usage everyday, it is abit hard to test. So your feel on the battery will be the conclusion. just using not over 3 day only, so hard how to tell actual performance.. but how to test baterry performance, because every day my hp using not same purpose. |
