Yea, it's a L920

Yea, most likely a firmware issue. Was on call through Bluetooth, then when I was about to end call, an SMS came in, TellMe started kicking in and it froze over. Damn the NT Kernel. On CE Kernel, it would automatically force either one to terminate without you knowing, it wouldn't even freeze.

This would also depend on network signals. If you're in an area with low coverage, your battery drains faster.

In the best case scenario, with moderate use, you'd be correct.

In the worst case, you could get slightly less than 10 hours because the radio is actively trying to get a better signal source, switching between 2G and 3G and so on.

Agreed on Whatsapp. They seriously need to fire the team.

I'm not sure about this. Haven't noticed this on my phone. But that's beside the point. The whole Whatsapp experience just sucks on WP. LINE is so much more responsive than Whatsapp.

Can you list down the games so that we could have a check? Angry Birds run fine on my phone, which happens to be the only games I play, casually.

Don't play those 2. Will try out when I'm available.

This is usual. Until you get Portico update, get ready for more data consumption. When the phone goes to sleep, the WiFi will go off as well. So any toast notifications you get, it will consume your data. Portico will fix this, in February.

As for taking low light pictures, kindly enable Focus Assist Light. It will create a flash before taking pictures so that light enters the lens (something along the line, I ain't a photographer pro). You may leave your flash off though.

Yea, in that case, it sounds more like a defect. Bring it to the service center.

This has been reported. It's because Whatsapp only supports .jpg while screenshots taken are of type .png. Next major release should see Whatsapp rectify that, fingers crossed

When buying HTC, well, just pray that your unit works without issue. Pray that it doesn't fail, otherwise, going through their warranty is like nightmare.

I've personally been through that, enough is enough. No more HTC as long as SIS is the main distributor.

Good thing they don't carry Nokia, or I'll turn into an iFag

My problem with them was far worse. I had a Desire S for about a month+, started having issues, sent in for repair, 1 week later, it was ready for collection, then started having a different issue. The cycle went on for about 6 times, I got so fed up (delays in between, half a year gone), I asked for compensation for loss of use. Then HTC Taiwan called, ding dong ding dong, another month gone. In the end, after negotiations, they replaced it with a HTC Sensation without Beats (which I bet was yet another refurb unit). I sold it off right away.

As for Samsung, well, all I can say is, their units are not consistent. Sure they have good service, but I'd still stay away from Samsung until I see better track record. In the family, my cousin bought an S2, masuk factory dunno how many times. My aunty bought an S3, again, masuk factory.

So far, Nokia hasn't failed me. Let's put firmware and stuff aside, at least, I haven't had to send a single unit in for repair. To me, Nokia's reputation is top notch in this regard. Worst is HTC.

No, the Portico update is not available yet. It should be within a few days as it takes time to propagate to all the servers around the world.

So if it says your phone is up to date, it means there's no update available, yet.

It may really come, but its price tag will be skyhigh. 8.7 MP pureview costs RM1,999 at launch, how much do you think a 41 MP pureview would cost? RM2,999 perhaps?

Well, 808 was 1,899 at launch without OIS and running symbian

Well, it was only a wild guess on my end. Will only know when specs are released

If they choose to use Magnesium Alloy / Aluminium mixed with poly carbonate, they can significantly reduce the weight. iPhone 5 is a very good example. Although easily bendable, it's light, feather light.

Honestly, I think HTC is making a very bad move here attacking Nokia. They should be going after Samsung, not Nokia. On top of that, their first ultrapixel phone is gonna be yet another Android, which they have been failing to sell. Time will tell how they fare, but whacking Nokia and giving a middle finger to WP (the fact that they chose to announce an Android first and WP later with the ultrapixel tech)? I've lost faith in them, now, respect too.

That, along with VPN. Let's hope more features will be announced come MWC.

I can't wait for the day they finally merge W8 RT with WP8. That'd kickass.

Edit: The info was found to be fake. Check it out here

Not all WiFi devices are capable of connecting to all channels. Kindly ensure that your router's WiFi broadcasting channel is not set to auto. Manually set it to channel 1 (most WiFi devices are able to search / connect), 6 (common channel) or 9, 10, 11.

Edit: looks like I was replying to the wrong person. Anyway, hope the 620 guy sees this
