the maps is great, but updates are slow. sadly no notification leds. if u want to know any info, u need to tap the power button to turn the screen on and see the infos.

depends on your usage la. i got mine with normal whatsapp, browsing news, sms, 10-15 calls about 5 minutes each, the phone can last from morning until my sleep time.

these days smartphones are power hungry. its ironic that most of the people that complain/critic lumias short battery life, they themselves carry a brick of a battery pack for their own android/iphone sets. laugh.gif

there are news about microsofts next project Blue. many believe its going to integrate W8, W8 RT and WP8 altogether.  hmm.gif

I've heard of it but that is only merging W8 and WP8 together so it's easier to code for developers.
It doesn't seem they are improving WP, only thing I see is improving Windows 8 which I don't use.

Looks like Rei7 found the winner in terms of random reboots issue. Now need to start uninstalling legacy apps as well. December cutoff date for apps sounds like a good idea.

To me, 2000mAh on a duo core smartphone is actually pretty high; some quad core android phones (if u exclude those 5 inchers or bigger) also have around this capacity in terms of battery size, some actually had less like the HTC One X.

Overall, feels its a lousy phone:

Cons:
- Battery life is very, very weak. Continuous usage of the phone gets me 2 hours plus of usage before it dies. I had 3 Lumia 920s, all act the same way.
- The stupid thing about the phone is that when charging, using any application will negate any charging and use up more juice than what is being charged! I face this with all so called windows 8 optimized apps.
- The phone heats itself up very, very hot with maybe a continuous usage of 10 minutes or less till I have to put it down for a while.
- I feel most of the applications (WeChat, Skype, Whatsapp) launches rather slowly, especially Microsoft's own Skype which takes a very long time to launch or even resume!

Yes, I tried everything:
- Hard resetting each of the phones
- No background apps activated
- Everything off (Wifi, NFC, Location, Bluetooth, etc)
- Only Windows 8 phone apps downloaded
- 4 Live tiles active (I removed everything else)

That's odd, cuz most of the stuff you mentioned didnt happen to mine. Im getting 1-2 days of usage. I played mirror's edge and sonic on the phone while charging with USB and it still charges up, but slower. On USB, 20%-100% takes me 3.5hrs+. AC power less than 2 hrs. I heard whatsapp and skype drains a lot of battery though, it's a problem with the app itself and for my case im not using those 2 apps, although i installed them.

Its impossible getting 1-2 days of usage unless you do not ever do anything on your phone.

I had 3 different separate Lumia 920s and I can attest to it that they do not last so long.

I uninstalled everything and just put on Whatsapp and it drains the battery like crazy. Microsoft's own Skype drains the battery like crazy on its own as well. Same goes to WeChat or any social application.

Social Applications -

I tested it again:
- Continuous usage of Whatsapp alone lasts me < 3 hours
- Continuous usage of WeChat alone lasts me < 2 hours
- Continuous usage of Skype alone lasts me < 3 hours

The stupid thing is that all these are supposed to be normal applications for a Smartphone yet the phone, well, can't use them well.

Playing Guns 4 Hire, Dredd vs Zombies or even Robotek and your drains like water. This is without any applications active.

I don't use the usb charger as it will charge very slowly. I use the normal AC powered charger.

People often talk about the camera and such. What about the super silky smooth PureMotion display? The refresh rate is noticeable? I'm an ex-iPhone4S user and the colour, vibrance and blacks is overshadowing the retina display. When it comes to smoothness, swiping up and down the homescreen feels as though it was instantaneous. But it could be I'm exaggerating a little but it's the best LCD display out there to me.

To me the PureMotion display has no different compare to iphone 4 and onward display. It beat samsung galaxy line's display.

Sad, guess all your phone battery doesn't last that long. Mine is better. Battery drains to 50% after browsing for 4 hours straight using 3G. I always on 3G and could last for a day.
