For some reason I was thinking of selling my Lumia 920 Yellow.
But not quite sure what phone to get if I sell it off hahaha.

so as i was saying, i bricked my 920 while hard reseting and had no choice but to flash it to bring it back alive. thankfully the malaysian portico update is available and flashed to that. Below is my experience:

1. Flashing process itself is very fast

2. After its completed, its back to factory settings and will ask you to log in

3. This is where WP8 is rather stupid. You CANNOT setup wifi first. You must sign in using data. So happen my data connection was not stable and my phone got stuck at the sign in. Soft reset. I walked out of the hotel to get better reception and it signed in smoothly. walked back in hotel to get wifi and the restore process switched to wifi.

4. Contacts, calls history and sms history restored rather smoothly but the app restoration is flawed. this is because it only restores apps from your current region. u get some errors for the rest. i switched region later and some download but a bunch seems to still show error.

5. Despite the errors, i seem to have gotten all my apps back. But the download errors remains. So i manually delete the downloads one by one.

6. There is also just one backup for you to chose to restore from. The latest one. All app data is gone. My whatsapp message history all gone.

7. Over all i didnt enjoy the restoration process

8. On portico, the features it brought all works fine. wifi is always on now hence whatsapp works better. There seems to be no difference on battery life so far and pictures seem better but i am afraid its the placebo effect.

Aha. I'm also an iPhone user before. Not really that pleased with the lack of apps. Notification is slow and etc.
It's something new and fresh, but the lack of major apps is killing me
Glad that portico update lets your wifi always go on. WhatsApp notification won't be delayed anymore I guess.

Not quite sure how much i'll sell it since I only use it less than a month.
If there is a good offer, i'll sell it I suppose, and go back to iOS for the time being.

go android la.

I'm not really into Android. I've tested out Android when I bought Nexus 7, it was alright.
I'm more into the Apps I suppose, where OS doesn't matter that much to me.
The more content the better for me.

Android is alright and if only Sony Xperia Z is releasing soon.

i was two traffic lights away from getting a digi nexus 4. i like android for its customization and apps, and i toyed around A LOT with my friends s3s, and note2s. in the end, i opted for 920 since being a hardware-oriented guy, i just had to go for the one with better build quality, looks and camera on the market now. like exkurogane said, software/OS can be upgraded and updated, but not hardware.

xperia z rustled my jimmies, but until a proper comparison is out, and/or a set with the new android OS (key lime pie?), im sticking with my 920. but everything will change if nokia does come out with a proper pureview EOS superphone. nyum2...

If you were keeping up with the updates, you'd notice that it has been called "Nokia Drive+ Beta" for a while already. main difference is that it is now available for ALL WP8 devices instead of just Nokia's

Basically it's stuff similar to this

Does it actually work?
- Well.. I feel there's some sort of coating on the screen.

Have I tried testing it to see if it works?
- Would you try putting your normal screen protector to a test to see if it works?

try put in the bowl lol

woah did I see people selling off their Lumia now? offer me your best price yo!

hey, may i know your experience on this? what do you mean by slow? =/

there is no phone in market that catches my eye. Its 2013. better wait for some 2013 phones.

delay by 2sec

Well when your phone is on standby. Wifi seems to be off for sometime as well.
It's not always on and you receive the whatsapp message slower than usual.
If you are not on standby it's fine.

by the time you purchase your 2013 phone, 2014 models are rolling out.

hi, how to check pictures or photos' date or other info (like exif data) on the phone itself?

got apps?

Picture Info app.... Picture Info
