QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Jan 31 2013, 08:31 PM) they didn't fix the problem!! they only update firmware to protico and didn't even test the sim network drop problem!!  i will try to send in after CNY. its HTC clock hubs, tab on the clock will bring up the htc hubs apps.. weather/stock/news..etc its interesting that it has been updated to portico already. So I am assuming if we send in our phones they can update it for us la?

QUOTE(monsh @ Feb 1 2013, 07:14 AM) guys, is there really much difference getting the higher spec ? i'm using the L620 and i see that the spec is not much different compared to L920 except for 1gb ram. care to enlighten me please.  To be honest.. some apps or games might not work as well compared to the L820/920, but if you are a person that does not play games (like me) you would be good. I bought the 920 specifically for the awesome camera. My cousin bought the 620 and she is really happy. It really depends on you and I honestly feel the 620 is awesome  .

Speaking of which, I need to send mine for warranty. My screen has a long purple line on the side. Its more obvious when you open up your mail app (or a white screen). I dont know if the Ampcorp mall center would be open this Monday. I hope it is. Next week would be the only week that I would be free as I am working at night  .

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Feb 11 2013, 10:29 AM) If it is situated in a shopping mall, it might be. I tried to contact the Nokia customer care but I am not getting to their care line. I also tried to contact Nokia Ampcorp Mall but their phone is just ringing. I guess I would have to go this Wednesday morning. By right, they should be back to the office.

Guys need some help actually. I gave my phone for warranty, the screen issue and they updated it to Portico so I have 4g. Now according the Maxis, if I am on a 3g package, the 4g is the same price, no difference. SO I chose the 4g options under the settings but, it only shows H+. By right, isnt it supposed to show 4G LTE in the status bar? I did a speed test and I confirmed its 3g because the max I am getting is 10mbps, same as my friend's lumia 920 thats has no received portico. Can anyone shed some light here pls.
PS: the portico update is available at Nokia Care, but they said that if you want to update to it, you need to pay like 40 bucks. They said it will be out soon for us. I got it free cause i changed my screen and formatted so they helped la.

QUOTE(thesun @ Feb 14 2013, 11:15 PM) my phone no problem.. so no need to update very fast.. although the camera seriously need some sharpness in the picture Lol thats not the issue bro... what i mean is that I am not seeing the 4g lte symbol nor am I getting 4g on my phone.. so it kinda feels weird when Maxis said it should be automatic, since I live in Bandar Sunway...

QUOTE(-ahtiang- @ Feb 15 2013, 08:22 AM) Why would Nokia Care charge for a software update?!... this is something I cannot understand...  I rather wait for March 2013... this make them look bad for charging RM40... sigh*** No I kinda agree with why they are charging. The thing is, Nokia has provided the tools for the update etc so you need to wait for the update to come over the air. They also don't want to over burden their staff as well. Most people who come over have actual problems that need attention. Software updates are not very important and they would waste the repair guys time hence delaying the others. So again, I do agree with this. I got it because my screen was spoilt so I just asked if they could as a combo.

Honestly.. I don't really feel much diff with portico in terms of the battery.. maybe I would need to wait a while since this is a newly flashed firmware. I did have a few restarts still.. so no clue there... I do love that the wifi is always on as my whatsapp messages seem to be coming in frequently and well. Hopefully the future updates would have more fixes

Yup got 4g today. Basically you need a microSIM, not a CUT SIM to Microsim to allow 4g to work. Just incase those dumb dumbs at Maxis tell you anything advice that this is what you want. 2ndly you would need portico for 4g to work. Its not that fast as well, as I think they are still testing the service here and there. The best I have gotten is 12-13mbps -,-

QUOTE(godhpf @ Feb 18 2013, 11:58 AM) My lumia 620 has been with nokia care since 21st January. Even after escalating it, nothing has improved. Just called them and they say the part is going to come in march. Which nokia care? My cousin's lumia 620 has been sent in to the warranty center as well. Basically her mother board has given way and they said that she should be receiving it by this week. I sent it to Nokia Ampcorp as its the easiest for me.

It makes me happy right now as I am loving my phone alot more. Whatsapp has been the biggest issues for us Malaysian WP8 users and now I can happily introduce this phone to my other friends who are message nuts

QUOTE(Boldnut @ Feb 25 2013, 05:57 PM) yup, but if in term of value per money is more like 720 > 520 > 620 > 920 > 820. Lol the 920 is still better then the 820 just because of the camera. Simple  . If you are not interested in the camera then the above chart of yours is right
