This is not a promotion. It is from the shop "directd", warranty original by avaxx. That's the price that was given.
I understand that bro, but perhaps you did not read my post. I was only using it lightly (browsing [less than 2mins, whatsapp and call] and it overheats like crazy. I know the usual overheat from other phones (my family members uses S3, Note 2, iPhone) and it is definitely nothing new but if you were to hold this phone when it overheats, it is really really hot. like seriously. Ok fine, I can live with the heat but don't tell me I should be restricted in using my phone even for just a little bit since I did spent RM1435 on it.
Yes I agree with the down clocking the processor when not in use. I feel it overworks the processor for certain stuff.
I see, it looks like I would have to do a few more cycles then.

Yep, that was the first thing I did, I blocked most of the apps from running in background except for whatsapp.

I rarely use bluetooth and NFC so I shut them down as soon as I bought the phone. But still had the same battery life. sad.gif.

Hurm, perhaps I did not spam the back button enough. I am pretty sure I closed it all but I will do further testing on that.

I am sorry that I am griping on this issue but I really really do love this Lumia and I really want it to work well. I just feel that I will not be able to use my phone without being hooked on a charger. I go to college from 9am to 5pm and for it to die during that time would be sucky for me..

p.s : I was suppose to be out today running errands but am currently stuck at home charging my phone. sigh...

is this your first time using smartphone? do u use android phone b4?

if battery life can get 10 hours, it very good already...u want to compare smartphone with feature phone that you no need to charge for one week?

i'm using 820 and i can get battery life between 10-12 hours....depends on connection - wifi, 2g or lte....

most important - turn off the NFC, bluetooth, touch sensevitiy, background app especially here drive+

turn off auto backup as well, automatically download updates for phone update and settings-games-sync game requests...

i just use few chat apps...whatsapp, viber and skype....the more chat apps u installed, your battery life also drain fast....

with all this settings....my phone just less 10% battery life for 7-8 hours with wifi on....

hi ther,

im not asking you to restrict the usage on it. but to optimize the usage lvl.

but since the heat up issue seems abnormal based on your description. i think you should bring it back and see if there's any 1 on 1 exchange on the unit

usually overheat happened when surfing net is the signal weak and it will boost signal to get it....

when i go back hometown, the signal is very weak...sometimes get G sometimes got H....

i only get 6-7 hours battery life and it very hot ....but when i go back to KL, i don't have this problem...and manage to get over 12 hours battery life...

My wife L925 has this problem last night.
I wasn't sure what could the problem as my L620 and W8 Devices were working fine.

So I reseted the router (6Yrs Old) and reconfigured.
Right after that, could connect without problem.
I'm not sure what was my Channel.

to make it stable....change your router channel to 11....

this issue have been discussed every where and many time....so change to channel 11 will solve the problem...

Which color phone is the most fingerprint-resistant? I'm considering my options since I really need a smartphone after all and the L925 is the sexiest Lumia out there. The stores aren't really a good way to gauge what day to day usage will be like.
*
if not mistaken, all colors are fingerprint resistant because all is matte body
