Hmmm is it Lumia 928 ? Or 928 only for US market ?
*
Nope, was referring to 'Catwalk'. See here --> Nokia Lumia Catwalk

The Lumia 928 has 'Laser' as codename & it's actually still polycarbonate shell.

yup, rest of the issues solved, nokia changed everything(if im not mistaken), including the outer case, had some hard and deep scratches and they changed it as well, only digitizer didnt change.

now phone not so hot edi, and wifi antenna super strong  flex.gif
*
That's great news!!! rclxms.gif

The WiFi antenna is in the outer case itself so most likely that's why they replaced it.

Hmm... mine just loads n loads even after a few minutes.. not sure whats wrong. Just recently got the OTA update.

Hmmm... I guess you're one of those affected by a bug. Nokia is trying to track it down. You can try their beta Storage Check here --> Lumia Storage Check

will find out, but i remember closing all apps  rclxub.gif

Even if you close all the apps in task manager it doesn't mean it closed all the running apps. Usually a restart will fix battery draining issue. But if it still drains after a restart, it means either a new app installed is causing it or an updated app is causing it.

downloaded angry birds too, hope they make the others free as well  tongue.gif

side note : my L920 freezed and only able to be responsive after performing a soft reset, it freezed after opening whatsapp, i think whatsapp is the main culprit, second time occuring because of opening whatsapp  vmad.gif
*
Yes of course it's Whatsapp causing it. You're not the only one suffering from it. I used to suffer from it too b4 my phone got a mainboard change. Now with the latest 1308 update & new mainboard, I've yet to get a freeze (touch WOOD!!!) but my cousin who updated to 1308 without issue still seems to suffer from freeze also, but less now. Yet my wife on a L820 has only had Whatsapp freeze once since early Feb 2013. Really hope they can release that update of theirs that finally moves the app to a proper background process. mad.gif

Yea, i too find sometimes in dayligjt photos, for a subject about a meter in distance at 45 degree angle downward like that, sometime the photos still blurry, not because of shaky hands, but shallow depth of field, later i will post some example.
*
This is correct. This has to do with aperture, the bigger the aperture, the more shallow the depth of field is. Here is where ppl get confused. Bigger aperture actually means the smaller the F value is. So with our Lumia 920, it's F2.0 which is very big aperture which lets in a ton of light but we suffer from shallow depth of field.

You can refer here -> Focusing Guide

Hi,

Anyone know if we can download apps from computer and transfer it to the L920? Because I initiate the download from computer but it start to download using my phone sweat.gif
*
Actually that Reinstall feature is a nice thing. Just click on it & the app installs on your phone, very useful after you've reset your phone & didn't choose to restore apps & settings.

For download apps it's possible but there's no way to transfer it to L920 to install. To download an app, from the app page on Windowsphone.com, scroll down a bit & look for the 'Download and Install Manually' link on the left. This can be used only on WP8 phones with SD card where you can transfer the downloaded app to SD card & install from there.

it's located in the download folder under your home menu.

there's seem to be a limit to download a high quality video though.. hmm..
*
It's called the Options menu, the 3 dots. Hehe. If you signed in, you can also find the downloads in My Downloads under the account page.

I haven't tried download high quality video since I don't have WIFI to test but what exactly is the limit you facing?

certainly is.  nod.gif

guys, this is my 1st time purchasing app from the store.. so i need some guide here.
mm, better use debit/credit card or paypal? 1 other thing, when my phone is in US region, the paypal
option was available but after i switched back to m'sia, only the debit/credit option left. why is that?
*
That's because the Paypal option is not available for M'sia region. Also each region will have it's own payment info & are seperate so even you set a Paypal or credit card already for US region, when you switch back to M'sia region it'll tell you there's no payment method available in M'sia store. Just add your credit card info again.

For eg, for M'sia region, I use credit card A, for SG region, I use Paypal, for USA region, I use credit card B. Though I used that as an eg, you can actually use credit card A for all 3 regions, but you have to register them 1st time you try to buy apps in each region. I just used different cards so that I can see the difference.

Oh. Ok. Thanks man.

Which is cheaper? Buy using USD or RM? I converted $1.99 to RM is RM5.91 but the store price is RM6.45..
*
It's cheaper to buy in RM. You don't simply convert with today's exchange rate & compare like that. Banks charge more. Worse, there's sales tax in US store so your $1.99 will most likely end up $2.13. Though with the current low exchange rate of below RM3 to USD1, it can be cheaper to buy in US store if it stays tat way or go lower.

Huh.. I did convert RM6.45 to USD and it is somewhere near $2.13.. But even so, the difference will only be in cents right? Are there any extra charge if I pay using PayPal?
*
Yeap, the difference will be like 10+ cents only, but really depends on exchange rate. Currently it's below RM3 so its good to buy from US store straight away now. No I didn't see any extra charge while using Paypal. The only extra charge is coming from the bank exchange rate which is usually a bit higher than current exchange rate.

How much do the bank usually charge?

I think this depends on bank. But I noticed for my bank they add around 0.2 to the current exchange rate.

I'm using Maybank. Hehe. So is it safe to say that, it's better to use paypal than credit/debit cuz got no extra charge?

Actually no difference if u pay by Paypal & it's linked to a credit card. I do not know how Paypal calculates it if you use bank transfer. If you try that, inform us here the results biggrin.gif

I can only use my debit card for now.. How did you set up your paypal into your Wallet?
*
I found that SG store is the one place you can add Paypal without needing to put in address. For US store, you need to create a new US Paypal account else you can't add Paypal into wallet.

Seriously my 5 years old SE k810i able to do that.

Funny Lumia 920 CAN'T! sweat.gif

That's coz SE K810 has Xenon flash.

QUOTE(c2_lover @ May 13 2013, 09:27 PM)
wow... i didnnt know that....there is actually an area in camera where old tech can outperform new camera tech and shit... lol...
*
It's not old tech, it's called Xenon flash. Had to so reluctantly give up my N8 with Xenon flash but I take more pics with low light without any flash nowadays.

QUOTE(ainuddin @ May 13 2013, 10:25 PM)
ok, so 928 got the stereo HAAC. nice.

im already saving up for the EOS. if it improves everything from 920, 928 and 808, im all sold.
*
920 also has dual HAAC mics, in fact spec sheets says it has 3, but I've never figured out where the 3rd mic is. Anyway, doesn't matter how many mics also, WP8 still CAN'T record video with stereo sound.

QUOTE(EXkurogane @ May 14 2013, 01:15 AM)
You are right about the flash, and that is the only difference; 928 has no wireless charging as well.
As for Lumia 925/Catwalk, notice the similarity in these 3 pictures? Try relating their similarity:

1.  Prototype that was leaked many many weeks ago

user posted image

2. Official teaser image by Nokia

user posted image

3. Recent leak

user posted image

If this is indeed the real deal, god... the rear is ugly... although the battery is removable...
*
Eh... 928 have wireless charging leh. Anyway, besides the design, Xenon flash & change of screen tech from IPS LCD to AMOLED, the rest of 928 have identical specs to 920. As for 925, expect a losing wireless charging & 16gb of storage. But the rest of the specs, even the camera are expected to be the same.

QUOTE(ainuddin @ May 14 2013, 09:46 AM)
well got 3 HAAC mics, so i assume only got stereo.  laugh.gif  from recordings on youtube, sounded mono though.  hmm.gif
*
It's a WP OS issue. WP can't record videos with stereo sound. It doesn't matter how many mics we have until MS fixes this dumb issue.

I'm not surprised though, it is far too early for a significantly improved successor

925 doesn't seem to have much over 920 itself...

It's not meant to be an upgrade, it's meant to address the thickness & weight issue of the 920. So now at least those ppl who complain bout those have to shut up laugh.gif
