if u re heavy users its pretty normal.. smartphone nowadays are designed not to last more than 24 hrs if u re heavy user

but htc one dont have memory card slot and battery cannot be changed?

So does the Lumia 920 when you think about it.
32GB is enough for me on any phones, even my tablet on 8gb is enough for me.
Not having a memory card slot bothers you that much? Why not delete things that you don't even use.
Battery cannot be changed? Not really a problem as I've never had any battery problems before when I use iPhone 3G or even 4.

The problem for me now is that notification on my Lumia 920 seems to be dead.
Need to open the app to receive notification? This is just crazy.

then sell it and get htc one as u wish

i bought it from maxis at rm1799 by using skmm rebate.

Battery life is very subjective & depends on a lot of factors like the following:

1) Data network 2G/3G
2) Amount of background tasks you enabled
3) No of live tiles that refresh every 30 mins
4) Signal strength

If you're on 3G data, expect short battery life especially if signal strength is not at max. So I'm usually on 2G data except when in places where 2G signal strength is bad & 3G signal is better. A good eg, my office room.

WP8 actually limits the no of background tasks you can run to a max of 15 which is great. But if you have 15 apps running & updating live tiles, then yeah you'll suffer more when it comes to battery life. Remember, this only affects apps you specifically enabled in background tasks. I have a lot of apps pinned to my start screen but I only let 10 update it's live tiles.

Finally, signal strength. I find phones nowadays are very sensitive to this. I noticed this when I was using a Nokia N9 since Jan 2012. Have data enabled & not have good signal strength will kill battery quite fast. For eg, I can kill my N9 with 3G data enabled in around 4 hrs inside my office room, doing nothing much. My Lumia 920 fared slightly better, managed an hour more at 5 hrs. But at home where signal strength is at max, I can even leave data enabled on my Lumia 920, as battery draining is not much when idle.


You can try uninstall & reinstall the app affected. That fixed some of my notifications issue when I had them. Most are just misbehaving apps. Like for eg, the official Twitter apps notification always works but FB one is hit & miss, no matter what I try. Another thing to look out for is the max no of background apps. You might have hit the max no of 15 without realising it then WP8 go block the app from running. Just a suggestion.

let say im using internet explorer or messaaging, it never turn to lanscape mode even i rotete the device.

Will uninstall and reinstalling remove all my old messages on Whatsapp and Wechat? I was planning to do it but I'm afraid of the history being wiped out. Edit: Guess it will be wiped out. So it's a no no to me. Meh this sucks.. WP8 sucks.

15 is the max number? lol

Is your camera still working?


Whatsapp does do backup & you can trigger it yourself under Settings inside Whatsapp. Better do that before you uninstall Whatsapp since it by default only do 1 backup a day early in the day. The restore feature works fine as long as you didn't full reset the phone. But it does have one side effect, it can't seem to restore pointers to pics properly, even if you still have the pictures on your phone.

For WeChat, I have no idea since I haven't used it much.

Yes 15 is the max number. It's a trade off to make sure you don't accidentally run too many background apps that would kill the phone too fast. Blame MS

why u want to keep history?

I've backup my chatlog on whatsapp on email but never know how to restore them. Didn't even know they have the restore feature lol. Thanks for the heads up.

WeChat have the backup feature too which uploads previous voice chat on their server for 7 days. I will try uninstall and reinstalling now. THanks

I know right.. So many restrictions....sucks really.

Chatlog history is important lol

from ur explaination i think the main culprit is network..
here inside menara tm..i receive 1-5sec H network then drop to E about 1bar then none..usually 1bar of E to none..
this morning ip5 fellas told me he got very strong signal of LTE..he just update his maxis network on his phone
mine is none even though my phone 4G enable...damn sad..
i check maxis forum they're updating user sim to 4G by batch...sad very sad...

Backup by email I think there's no way to restore back to phone. After you uninstalled Whatsapp & reinstall it, open it, accept the conditions & it should prompt you that it found a backup & ask if you want to restore. Just say yes & you're done! Done this a couple of times when Whatsapp was causing issues on my phone.

Yes, WP8 has a lot of restrictions.... but you should have more or less known that hehe.

Yes, network strength is your issue. 1 bar of E can easily kill my phone also which is why I use H when in my room, gets around 2 to 3 bars.

Maxis LTE support for iPhones are running on a different band which is 1800, instead of the usual 2600 that was allocated for M'sia & activated for Maxis. But don't worry, Lumia 920 does support 1800 LTE but I guess have to be specifically enabled by telco. So yeah, have to wait for either Maxis or Nokia to update it.

Hi guys...
just bought this beast from digi store for rm979.00 (I'm using the highest plan)...a white one.
Will this phone give me the same satisfactions as my N9?...time will tell

Been using my 920 before it was even officially launch in MY. Camera wise the best but OS wise, the worse.. Quite disappointed and hopefully they'll make it better with Blue. Biggest problem for me has always been notifications.. it's not instantly sometimes which really sucks. Plus when are they even going to announce a notification center. The OS needs it badly. Lives tiles is not enough

What issue did Whatsapp give you? If I may know.

Cant blame much on the OS since its still new, im sure they gonna improve it in a couple of month or maybe a year

wah sounds quite bad leh windows os like that.. hmm makes me wonder should i do the switch from iphone

Well is it that bad OS wise that you call it the worse? I mean, everything else works well right? Just the notifications? I thought iPhone also had the same issue since I hear my friends complain about late/missing notifications also.

Anyway, there's a 3rd party notification center currently out called Unification but it needs other apps to support it for it to work. Currently not much apps support it but as more ppl use it hopefully it gains traction. Read bout it here --> Unification

Oh ya, I think it's not available on MY region, so change to USA region to get it.

What issue did Whatsapp give me? Eh..... locking up till I had to reboot the phone. There was once it locked up so badly that it locked up the shutdown procedure, locking up my phone on the 'goodbye' screen, forcing me to soft reset. Then there's the random power drain too which disappears once I uninstalled Whatsapp. Not everyone will face this. My wife on her Lumia 820 had a lot less occurance of these issues, but she did encounter them too.

Eh.... if we can't blame the OS who else should we blame? Us? Hehehe. J/k

Anyway, MS needs to move its behind faster & catch up.

I suggest you try out the OS before you jump ship. Also if you have tons of apps on iPhone, don't put so high hopes WP8 have it. WP8 is not bad, it just haven't got the momentum yet sadly.

Never had an issue regarding notification when I use iPhone from 3G to 4. Always instantly and never late. At least for me la. If you compare iOS, Android and WP8, in terms of notification it is the worst. I didn't mean to say it was worst in everything just in notifications. UI is amazing and everything else is such a breeze.

Unification idea is good but so far it's useless imo. If developers joins it will be great, but it looks like it's not going to well right now. At Wpcentral, i've heard people saying it's being useless more than 50 time lol.

I see never had those whatsapp issue before. But I also have some issue before regarding phone freezing which needs a soft reset. Havne't had that problem for a while though.

Then, it is better to rephrase your sentence in the first place before posting instead of overgeneralization bad notifications -> bad OS. Anyone who read your 1st sentence will come to that conclusion.
