If I recalled read somewhere that LTE services is not activated by default, Nokia Malaysia will have to rollout software update to enable the LTE services on the Lumia... Furthermore, not sure if Maxis LTE services is enable for smartphones as I read their website is currently only for their Mobile Broadband services...

I'm actually waiting for Celcom LTE biggrin.gif

They are apple's dog. Poor bias review.
SMS can be backed up using Transfer My Data app on Lumia 920.
Since you are on Windows Phone already it should work.

Method 2 would be by going to setting>backups. (Not so sure if got on WP7)
There should be an option to backup ur SMS in the cloud.
*
The function Settings > Backups is not currently available for WP 7.5 (not sure about 7.8)... this function is introduced in WP 8

I'm using drag m drop to my music folder,i can do delete single songs from songs hubs but not whole folder from album hubs. How bout others that use window desktop apps??? Can you all delete the whole album?
*
I tried the above with my L920, transfer the music via the Windows Phone app on Windows 8 PC and it will automatically create the Artist Folder and Album Folder (this is inside the Artist Folder)... then go over to the L920 Music hub, you can only have Delete function on the Song and not the Album itself...

If I delete the song either from the L920 phone itself or the Windows Phone app on desktop, I noticed that the Artist folder (this folder has no song coz I just deleted it) still remains on the phone when view using Windows Explorer... however the Artist folder is not visible on the L920 music hub nor the Windows Phone app when view what's on the phone...

I normally just goes to the Windows Explorer and delete off those empty Artist folder... reason for me to have those empty folder is because of all my Chinese songs having East Asian characters which I need to ensure all are intact when transferred into the L920 shakehead.gif

this is somehow what I noticed so far on the Music transfer on WP8 and Windows 8

Btw, Skype has a new update on Marketplace...

Ask them to change the blinking board. Nokia ni kadang kadang keras kepala one .....

But I do notice that if I on the 3G (or highest connection speed), the signal is not as good as if I just use EDGE.

I just re-read the statement from Maxis that there is no specific LTE plan... if you're currently a Maxis subscriber with a Data Plan and your phone is supporting the LTE band (2600 MHz), once you and your phone falls into the LTE zone, you will have LTE connection... rclxms.gif

The question now is that will our outright purchased phone from Nokia Store is LTE ready out of the box? I heard is that Nokia need to push software to activate... perhaps maybe Lumia 920 from Maxis already pre-loaded with the activation for LTE... someone with the knowledge needs to confirm this hehehe... icon_question.gif

and what benefit does it have?  biggrin.gif

your answer should be here below in the 2 link... brows.gif

Maxis LTE
Celcom LTE

in a nutshell it's similar to how EDGE evolved into 3G and now further evolved into 4G LTE

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.
*
I'm not too sure about Maxis, but I'm on Celcom at the moment whereby whenever there is a data connectivity, the logo will show H+ on my Lumia 920... I'm still yet to upgrade to Portico, so not sure if H+ is really 4G LTE... if I'm not mistaken H+ is HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access)..

my average speedtest on H+ network is usually around 6Mbps... the 2 slow download rate is when I choose Server from China hahaha to test the actual speed when it's not located within Malaysia network...

from your other reply, you mentioned you have 10Mbps on H+ network of Maxis which is rather good... but if that is 4G LTE, then it may not be the speed perhaps? need some real 4G LTE sifu here biggrin.gif

Question, when you try your phone in TTDI, are you using WiFi or the Telco services? If Telco, then what's the Icon of your Telco reception when you're in TTDI? H, H+, or 4G LTE?

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.
*
Somehow agree with you as I hop into WP7 when it was first launched and the momentum doesn't really move too much... I know the current WP8 is a good product, but it's just a 'barely good enough' product to compete with the rest... Apps has been exhaustive since day 1 and yet after 3 years it's still not ramp up... Skype recent updates of Beta testing has not included WP8 as well?! Photosynth is still missing?! and guess what as both products are from Microsoft itself... haih... I shall give it 1 more year, if not I may also jump ship to Android...
