Should have bought the Wireless Stand (DT-910) when it was available 3 weeks ago ... now out of stock here in Saudi .... dang!!!.

Ohh by the way, the JBL Powerup Speaker (the one shown in the ads) is going for SAR1200 here ... (around RM950) ... a bit pricey .. gulp but can charge and play your Music via NFC ....

which means you have not tried the restore process. read my experience later tonite. Need to be careful with WP8 restore process for it to run smoothly.
*
One of the reasons why I still have not hard resetted the phone. I read in AAWP (All About Windows Phone) that MS is really clueless about the backup and restore process. They insist on backing up your phone to the cloud without giving an option to have it backed up to the computer. Apple gives you an option, but MS is bodoh sombong.

I like it that in iOS, once I hard reset the iPhone, I can choose which backup I want to restore to, and after restoring the backup and syncing my purchased apps, ALL my data is there (game saves, whatsapp chat messages .... everything).

Does not work/happen with WP8 which is damn stupid.

It's called constructive criticism. I like the phone I have but I'd like some features to be included as well.

Some time I'm not even sure whether the problems are hardware related or because of the OS.

I mean like HTC WP users, do they experience this random reboot, battery life, warm back issue?
*
Random reboot is an OS (Microsoft) issue. HTC also has this random reboot issue. Portico is supposed to solve it.

As for heating ... I suspect it's both (OS and hardware). I have managed to replicate the reboot due to the heating up. Phones heat up, then switch to Airplane mode to try and cool down the phone, and it reboots.

Some App is not coded properly to have some sort of speed limit I guess like UC browser, I mean, the app is super fast but at a risk of toasting the motherboard which is stupid. The apps need to find a balance between speed and battery drain.

Hi, i wanna ask about the volume up/down button,

1. what kind of sound it controls?
(music only or including alarm, etc)
2. my alarms very slow lah, not loud enough, how can i set it louder?
(alarm sound is slower when it alarmed than play the actual sound in music/ringtone files)
*
This is the most highly sought after feature for the next update for WP8 to individually control the sound for Ringtone/Alarm/Music. At the moment it's a single control, meaning that if you try and reduce the phone volume, everything (all apps) will be reduced in volume.

The rattling is coming from the OIS springs. You can feel it if you hold the phone in your hands and then try walking, there a feeling of thud, thud ....

"hard" = you cannot attach files at all.

You can ONLY attach pictures via email....nothing else.

Great.

Yes, you can only attach a picture from the email app BUT you can attach most documents (Powerpoint, PDF, Excel) from their own app via the share menu.

What features in a dialler are you looking for? Other than the call log that is not as good as the iPhone (Same phone number displayed multiple time instead of one number and then you can click on the number to check the time stamp).

That will wipe the entire phone clean and since WP8 backup system sucks, I don't see why you'd want to do that. Portico will be OTA once it is officially released and your existing data will be preserved.

UC Browser has been updated with an improve UI for the Lumia 920. I wonder what that means. I will check it out but if it fries my board again, I'll report that as well.

This is only after 2-3 minutes of browsing. I'll report back once I start using it for a bit longer (10-15 minutes browsing on LYN for example)

The facebook site bug is still there, pressing the back button (in the app) doesn't go back to the previous page but goes back to the favorites page ... which is dumb.

phone restore complete. below is the field report:

1. attempt to soft-reset using hardware buttons - phone restarted but nothing changed
2. attempt to hard-reset using hardware buttons - phone restarted but nothing changed
3. went to Settings > About and reset the phone there - phone showing two gears image for more than 15 mins. PHONE BRICKED
4. attempted to soft-reset phone but stuck at Nokia logo
5. flashed phone using NaviFirm Plus and Nokia Care Suite - successfully flashed
6. restore phone settings using skydrive and recovered the following
    - call history, sms history, installed applications, phone book (i'm using gmail)

problems faced after skydrive restore:
1. many apps showing "attention required" message. some doesn't work even after attempt to retry download.
    - problem due to app downloaded via different region. fortunately i'm only use Malaysia and United States. so majority apps can be downloaded

2. apps still showing "attention required" after switching region
    - problem is unknown. some article says app is no longer available to Store and is asked to wait.
    - EDIT: finally found out that it is due to Nokia stock apps. just have to manually go to Store and update to latest version

3 realize LINE app is not reinstalled. manually install via Store and one pending download that shows "attention required" is gone.
    - conclusion: some app needs to be reinstalled manually
WARNING: all app data is not restored because skydrive backup doesn't saves the information. beware if you attempt to reset your phone

problem solved:
1. duplicate entry of video in Music+Videos app resolved
2. problem where deleting image via USB permanently removes from device. meaning i no longer need to manually delete from stock photo app

Thanks for the field report.

As I expected, the windows phone backup process is not up to scratch if compared with the iOS backup and restore process. Microsoft needs to buck up and implement something similar like iOS.

I am planning to upgrade my iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, 2 x iPad 2 to 6.1 and I am secure in knowing that whenever I wipe the iOS devices clean during a full restore, I can easily restore the devices with their respective backups (store locally on my Mac) and my devices will be restored (app data, SMS you name it) to the previous state.

UC Browser is much better now. It has an option called speed boost which is turned off by default. I think this is the one that is causing the CPU to heat up. Now the Lumia is warm but that is normal. Niceeeeee

the UC browser can play videos directly on page or not?

WP8 does not support flash right? So I doubt UC Browser can even bypass that limitation
