Hi,I just got my new Lumia 720 today! Really excited about the phone. I'm wondering if there's anyway I can view the status bar (showing time, battery,WiFi and stuffs) during full screen app like Facebook and IE? Having a hard time checking the time and signal strength while using the apps. The status bar just go disappear when I enter the app. I have to quit to the live tiles screen to check the time and hop back in the app again which is kinda annoying? Some little help here please? Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks for the tip man! Yeah, it feel much FULLER without the status bar. Haha. One more question, no other way to quit all apps without spamming BACK KEY?

QUOTE(xSean @ Jul 1 2013, 04:16 AM) currently, no but i think they will update in future .... honestly, i'm not really care to quit the apps because it does not have any performance issue.... Yeah. It doesnt lag at all. Just might afraid they might eat up a considerable portion of battery since battery life is my main picking reason for lumia 720. I guess we need a third-party apps ringtone options, screen rotation lock and some other small little issue.

Anyone experiences battery percentage readings inaccurate? Battery can drop all of a sudden for like 7-8%. Sometimes stay at the same level for long time like say 20mins and then drop massively for the next 5 mins.

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Aug 2 2013, 06:42 PM) battery apps install??(try remove, its useless) or some 3rd apps drain your battery?? check your last apps installed or try to check and stop background apps. Nope. None of those battery drain app I have. In fact, I've only have very few app running in the background like say LINE and Whatsapp. WeChat is blocked. Turned off most of the app notification.

QUOTE(jonchai @ Aug 2 2013, 09:33 PM) The battery app cannot be running all the time. For Live Tiles, the battery app can only update itself every 30 minutes hence that's why you notice a sudden drop / same level phenomenon. The most accurate way to gauge your battery level is to open the battery app (and keep it open), but that's hardly necessary, unless it really bothers you that much. Most battery apps come with graphs, while can't be 100% accurate, can provide you some insight into your battery performance. Remember, Live Tiles can only ever update every 30 mins (for time based events). I'm not checking the percentage through the Live Tile nor the battery app. I'm aware of the 30 minutes refresh interval. I check the status through Battery Saver page in the settings.  I'll try to do a hardreset and see how it goes.
