I'm switching from my 3 year old nokia E72 to lumia series. But, i'm kinds tempted to wait for lumia 1020 for its 41MP camera.

But is 925 really worth it?

So after reading the whole pages of this thread, I think I want to invest in this phone. 1020 has a few issues especially on the shutter lag & all, I still have my DSLR to take those HD pictures no problem on that one.

But I'm curious though, what are the limitations/shortcomings of 925? Can you guys list me some?

No offence but I think you're better off using a digi cam to capture those moments, rather than using this phone dude.
The video on handphones are suitable for short,brief capture only I think, hence the 16gb storage.

I'm gonna buy this today at gurney plaza later this afternoon. Hope i won't make the wrong decision.

Superb pictures? I already have my DSLR for that.

Yay! Just bought this yesterday at Nokia gurney plaza at rm1599 plus screen protector & viva cover (rm199).

black color unit. Loving this phone to bits!

Hmm normally i would tap on the screen to take pictures. Rarely use the shutter button.

Also, is it me or the battery discharge rate for L925 is quite fast? I turned on 3G network for almost a half a day (7am-12pm), the battery dropped from 100% to nearly 50%. Is this normal?

Any settings that I should know to conserve battery life while using the 3G DATA turned ON of course?

Any good power bank brand to use with Lumia 925?

yeah I agree the battery life for L925 is pretty bad when you turn on 3G Data for too long.
Gotta keep those powerbanks/charger ready OR you just turn on & off the 3G Data when needed.

So far I use Wifi, save more battery compare to 3G.
Other than issue, I think L925 is the best Nokia phone for me yet.

Any idea what I can't see my mp3 files that I want to download from my PC to 925? Is there any DRM protection mechanism going on?
Anyway to work around this?

I meant, when I was using Windows PC to mobile sync software, when it scanned my PC HDD, all the mp3s were not able to be displayed, even though the files are there.

How do I solve this problem?

I can't see my music files inside my PC. DRM protection related I guess?

Better wait for the official update release. This is for developers only.

Afraid that your 925 became a brickstone after updating GDR3 now

How do I kill a running background apps?

No, I'm not talking about the Shutting off running background apps via Settings, but it's something similar to iOS's app where you can kill a running apps by swiping it off the screen.

Or WP8 haven't had this feature yet?

so any improvements in terms of camera? Or Nokia just added the kill apps switch only?

Successfully updated it 2 days ago.

Now got kill switch for running apps, camera definitely looking better a bit, Nokia beemer to project screen on TV/LCD screen etc.

Not bad lah

I've been using this baby for almost 7 months now since it's first debut in Sept last year.

So far am loving it & hopefully to continue to use it till it dies.

My 925 froze yesterday.
I tried to pressed the power button to rest but to no avail.
When I try to call my phone using other phone, the phone wasn't ringing at all.

So i've searched via Google & did a hard reset (press Volume Down + Power button together for 10 seconds or more), thank god my phone restarted.

Just wondering if you had this issue before? I mean, my 925 kept froze but not really frequent. I suspect it had to do with Whatsapp.

Hahaha my bad!
So to do a hard reset is to remove the battery is it?
How do I take out the battery?

Is 8.1 update ready for 925?

I kinda don't want to upgrade this YET, because it removes the super awesome FB integration with Windows.

What are your experiences after updating your 925 to 8.1?

But the FB windows integration, they r removed it right?
