b4 u send to nokia, why not try first,
ur home got wifi or not?

sometimes depends on time also,
usually maghrib (7pm) or early morning 3am hard to get satelite,
maybe satelite got many on the other  side of the earth..

try lock at home first, then dont off location,
no problem i think.

satelite is very subjective..
if u try to connect without any online assist, it will take long time,
but still depends on luck.. sometimes i can connect on the spot also.
sometimes i off location,

drive about 3 hours from last locked location (on the Lebuhraya pantai timur)
try re-on location without data,

no luck for me after 20 mins wait,
on data, instant win!
if u go nokia, i scared ppl laugh at u only..
gps rosak only when cannot connect at all..

cant blame nokia for no reception.

not that im blaming nokia for poor gps reception la doh.gif
maybe my phone is faulty... next i try with internet and see

ah, I see, I did a search on your posts, turns out you're sharing phones with your wife eh?

I'm trying hard to make a choice here, between 920 and 720 that is. Please enlighten me here people, I'm looking for a phone that can let me use some amount of GPS, some social, make a few calls, light SMSes and last a whole day.  sad.gif

If you plan to use GPS in other countries besides Malaysia, you will have to go for L920.
other than that, since you dont use camera, or games, and require boosting battery life, suggest you go for L720 biggrin.gif

Best of luck for the team to optimize the apps which probably not likely to be fixed any soon but it's good to see Facebook's breakthrough.

Facebook's latest changes marks one of the big apps that doesn't follow the "metro" guidelines, it sticks with its own design on all platform and slightly inherit the windows phone's UI design which the expert mentioned, app maturity.

Aside that, I really love how Nokia develop apps on this platform, exclusive apps that is.  thumbup.gif

I still find it somewhat limited, should make more brows.gif maybe I'm greedy XD

thats what i was getting mostly from the net, but you can drag and drop your pdf files into the "Documents" folder if you plug in your phone to your PC, and then just open your office and click on phone and everything is inside rclxms.gif

a major point goes to android when uploading stuffs(pics and files).
In WP, if you want to upload, you have to leave that app open at all times, you go back, it stops or cancels!
Unlike android, you can upload and upload and upload and do something at the same time. mad.gif

Cause when i used it that time visiting lowyat forum using the WP8 IE, the alignment like acting weird.

When I pressed Mobile Phones and PDAs at top there from "Lowyat.NET -> Special Interest -> Mobile Phones and PDAs -> Windows Phone", it doesn't actually press that thing, instead it touched others, lol ... have to like pull down a bit then it will touch.

However, only IE have this problem that I faced.
I want firefox or Chrome, lol...

My IE no problem wor, you finger too big/fat already? tongue.gif

you can send fb message to your offline friends via the native messaging app. It asks you to 'try text instead' but you can just ignore it and send.

this offline functionality has been around in wp7, it was a background cloud update from Microsoft's side.

if not happy with native messaging app, try downloading ICQ app, works perfectly for facebook chat rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Nice, how does it compare to IM+? Or other apps that support similar functionality.

I never really considered using an app for FB Chat because back then push notifications are very unreliable in WP7 (except whatsapp), but WP8 changed the game.
*
for WP8, i tried the free version of IM+, it sucks to the core, sometimes notification doesnt come in, and the live tiles number doesnt go away mad.gif

and then i found ICQ wub.gif
