Heading to lowyat now for the roadshow

Might be getting the phone right away.. But still 50-50..

Black Lumia 920 in da house!

Gosh, the battery drain faster than me drinking beer!!

Anyone has trouble discovering Ad Hoc wireless access point?

Apparently WinPhone doesn't support connection to Ad Hoc wifi at the moment..

just to share some interesting facts with you guys in term of respective store reaches 100,000 apps milestone:

iOS took 16 months
Android took 24 months
Windows Phone took 20 months

iOS reaches the milestone faster is arguable as it has advantage of 4 million first generation iphone in the market before app store is launched.

i think you meant "quality" apps instead..

well, i have to agree that the apps quality is definitely not on par with android and ios.. at least not for the moment.

but notwithstanding the fact that windows phone is in the market for only 2 years comparing with android and ios which are 4 and 5 years respectively.


p/s: it took windows phone 14 months to reach 50k, but only another 5 months to double that figure to 100k

Waze received USD $25 million funding which part of it came from Microsoft

Stay tuned and Waze will be available for Windows Phone soon!

the one feature i'm anticipating is viber voice call!

indeed.. considering that the news was quite some time ago, the waze team would probably have started the development for a period of time..

fingers crossed!

there you go..

hi guys,

my phone is not showing update of new apps automatically. i have to manually view the app in the store in order to be informed that update is available.

i have been reading some articles and some say that it takes some time to be reflected but it has been days and yet manual work has to be done.

are you guys facing the same problem?

something went wrong with my L920..

i drag-and-drop a mp4 video via windows explorer into Videos folder, launches the Music+Videos app, go to Videos and i get the attached result below:



it's a duplicate entry where one with thumbnail and the other is simply black.

tapping any of it plays the file, but deleting any of it breaks the link and shows the following error message:

Sorry, we can't play this file on your phone. Error code: 80070002

anyone facing the same issue?

did that but still the same..

i've emptied the Videos folder to make sure i come clean, but problem still persists..

hopefully there's a way to solve this problem without formatting the phone..

previously i had a strange problem where deleted pictures via explorer doesn't deletes from my phone. meaning i have to manually delete again in my phone to ensure it's permanently removed. i then cleared my Pictures folder to solve the problem.

tried mp4, avi and wmv. all the same..

soft reset might be the next move.. sigh..

i'm afraid it might be too troublesome because many apps are installed. probably will wait for portico update and see how it goes.


yeah, i copied an avi file and able to play the file. no conversion is asked when copying files via usb. it was a straight and clean copy operation.

everything is fine when i first got the phone. meaning no duplication issue or whatsoever. everything works perfectly.

and now i realize another strange issue, deleting a picture from self-created folder in Pictures still appearing in my stock photo app. i have to manually delete it via stock photo app to ensure it's permanently deleted.

i think i'm changing my mind on portico update.. will soft reset my phone instead.

anyone faced any challenges restoring phone data after a soft reset?

thanks for your advise but it's too late to do anything now cos i think i just bricked my phone!

screen showing 2 gears when trying to reset phone via Settings > About. currently doing a soft-reset and still at the Nokia screen.

hopefully nothing gonna happen to my phone!

not sure whether i should be updating to portico or back to the original version.

do you mind giving me your version of firmware so that i can restore back to the exact firmware?

thanks in advanced!

thanks a lot bro! will attempt to flash my phone and let you guys know the outcome

anyone able to run the installer for Nokia Care Suite 5.0 on Windows 7 64-bit?

i get the following error message when trying to run the installer:

"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package".

i tried the compatibility mode but still getting the same error

Recovering Lumia 920...

Status = "Flashing 'RM821_059R026_1232.2109.1242.1002_007.vpl'.

Phone is setting up and installing some of the fundamental apps..

Will attempt to restore via skydrive backup and see how it really works..

More updates coming soon!

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
