Try a hard reset. Probably a screwed up cache. Upon setting up the phone, did you sign in to your Microsoft Account? If you did, please proceed to perform a hard reset. Backup everything, go Settings, About, Reset phone.

For physical key presses, follow this http://www.hard-reset.com/htc-8x-hard-reset.html

Just use recommended. Make sure you sign into your primary Microsoft Account.

Edit: If it's still busted after this, bring it back for replacement. Do the whole process again, in front of them. If they still ask you to wait for software update, just shoot them with this "you mean Nokia products require updates to actually open office and wallet properly?"

Small matter. Good to know it's working

Enjoy the phone.

Eh, how to do that tagging thing? lol

Anyway, the easiest way is to store everything in your Skydrive through PC. Grab a Skydrive installer, install it on your PC, sign in, plug in your Android device, drag everything and drop into your Skydrive.

Once done, go to your WP, sign in to your Skydrive and let it sync. You'll get everything you need there.

Unfortunately, no. Unless they use the same storing format (which I highly doubt so), it'd be nearly impossible to transfer.

While Portico looks like a decent minor update, it's still not good enough. These features should've been in there since day one and running out of time isn't an excuse. In terms of features, WP is more than a year away from iOS and Android. They need more work, particularly with TellMe. The next update will truly make or break WP. If they do not bring about great features, I will drop the platform and resign from all things WP. I've given my 3 full years to support this platform and it looks like they could use a wake up call.

Yes, that pretty much sums up my sentiments. It won't be another full year for me. Come this July, if nothing new is announced, I'm dropping it.

Having issue is one thing. No taking necessary steps to resolve it is another.

I'm fine with the first, but not with the latter. No device on earth is without issues, but it seems Microsoft is taking their own sweet time to address them, and Nokia could only do so much. Much of the issues stem from the new NT kernel.

Edit: And it's not only restricted to L920. Even the HTC models have similar issues, like random reboots, freezes, etc.

They didn't exactly delay. According to reports, they didn't have good enough supply, so naturally, US & Canada would be their target markets first. It did come to our shores before year end with decent pricing, that, to me, was good enough.

The problem is the software, sure L920 does has its fair share of bugs, but Nokia did take steps to rectify them through PR1.1 (img algorithm tuning - sharpness). On contrary, I can't say the same for Microsoft. From WP7 to WP8, nothing much changed. Portico, nothing much added. How much more time do they want? Come July (my yearly purchase month), I'll give them the middle finger if they don't do something about their platform.

I'll head over to BB or Samsung.

Just to correct you, it was announced in Sept, available in Nov, some places, end Oct (early, unofficial release), so not too bad.

Note 2 is too big for me, plus it's still too early to look for a phone now. I'll see how much technology advances in the coming months.

Battery life WOW because it has a tablet battery, huge one, given its form factor, no surprises

Not so much on apps for me, I just want to enjoy the core experience (email, attachments, documents, reading). For heaven's sake, on WP, I can't even attach a PDF or share more than one document file through email, that alone, disappoint me to the max.

Which is good, considering that I only get 5mbps from Unifi

As expected. They are still running short of supplies.

Of course, a proper PR move would be to replace your faulty unit rather than fixing, but I guess it was Nokia Malaysia being stupid.

True videos can't be saved (I'm not entirely sure if it's an OS limitation), but they can be forwarded, better than nothing

You can transfer any files via bluetooth to any other platforms, except DRM protected media files.

Well, programmers have families to feed too, right?

Data Sense requires telcos to adopt MSFT's technology and make use of MSFT's servers. Unfortunately, it's not available here. Even in the US, only Verizon is doing it.

Email a copy to yourself first. I haven't tried restore yet lol

Do a force update. It's easy. Go search for the 7.8 thread

That's normal, especially if you're in an area with poor 3G reception. Portico should improve your battery life slightly, given the always-on Wi-Fi connection.

Then I guess that'd be the maximum it can last. I don't do much texts, more so on calls and emails and I can get about 14 - 16 hours in a day which I think is fairly good.
