LYN should consider a Microsoft based forum? Then soon will be open source OS like Android, Linux and etc? Hmm.

Hey guys, are you guys still having the notification delay for Whatsapp and Facebook chat? Facebook chat got better after Amber. But Whatsapp have not changed. It can delay up to 15mins. I'm using Maxis, the 3G here is considerably good. Even on WiFi I have delays. I kept the app running in Background Task. Im getting really annoyed with it. Might quit WP8 for Note 3. btw. I'm using L720.

also, my L720 can't seems to detect certain WiFi. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? sad.gif

You're on the WiFi all the time? Try setting your WiFi to "On always" even when the phone is locked, most of the time delayed Whatsapp notification happens when:

1. Poor signal/connection
2. WiFi congested (public or shared)
3. WiFi turns off whenever the phone is locked

About not getting WiFi detected:

1. WiFi is on different channel
2. Your phone can only detect certain WiFi channels.

My fix,

1. Restarting the router
2. If you're thinking to join public WiFi? Use your own data plan.
(Because LTE is badass)

I have 2 other smartphone. One detect house wifi without problem and the other do. Any idea how to reset channel?

How reset channel.

1. Access your router configuration page.
2. Browse through until you see a "Channel"
3. Adjust the channel to "11" "10 "9" which ever that may work for you.
4. Good luck!

Nokia had updated the offline maps for their HERE apps.

http://www.wpcentral.com/psa-nokia-updatin...ffline-map-data

Those that had upgraded to Amber/GDR2 update, now only need to download portion of the file to update existing maps.

For example, Malaysia maps only need to download 26MB+, instead of 130MB+
*
strange, I got 31mb update.

Anyone tested the latest point of interests? rolleyes.gif

That purely depends on you.

It's a camera phone.

the pricing for the phone is a bit wrong.

consumer might b thinking why pay so much for a WP??

indeed, the camera is top-notch. but its very dependent on whether you need a camera tat level on a phone or not.
moreover, comparision with a iphone5, shows that with a bit of effect touch up with apps...
the result doesnt differ too much.
*
Comparing between platforms are very hard laugh.gif

So what are we comparing?

Depending on your specific needs (give yourself top 3 priorities), you take this and that, put side to side and see which one suits you. laugh.gif

like it or not, this is a sign from Google that WP8 has a potential in the market, it's an acknowledgement hence it will be good for developers who wishes to develop more FREE apps for you.

If WP8 still stand strong, chances that we will get some Google services. laugh.gif

You're already helping Google to earn money just by browsing. laugh.gif

is it normal for charging speed to be 28.7% per hour? isnt that kinda slow?

using wall charger
*
As long as the phone doesn't get warm, last I did some search on batteries exploding partly due to people who use different chargers and use it intensely while being charge non-stop for a LONG time.

If the phone gets very warm while charging, your battery might have shorter life span.

so, what is ur charger power rating? mine is output 1A. same?

think about getting AC-50X, 1.3A. used for nokia pureview. should be okay or not recommended?

as long as your battery won't get too hot can already. Wireless charging is hot until one day while using tethering the plate blinks and stops charging, not even fully charge yo.

Hi Sifus,

Need help/suggestion..

I thinking of selling my laptop and go for Windows 8 Phone (Lumia 925/1520) or Tablet (Acer W3/Toshiba Encore).

I only use for Email, Office, Excel and Notes only, No Gaming.

Will I face any issues or problems with phone/tablet windows version? I mean while doing work using MOffice (such as attach pic/document/table) or edit/viewing other documents? I never use any Windows 8 Phone or Tablet before.

What do you guys think? Anything else I should know?

Thanks

larger screen might be the flavour for you. Head to a nokia store, get the largest available screen there (ie Lumia 625) or wait for the 1520, do the things that you want to do on the smartphone, test the office out if it suits you.

hi guys, noob question. I'm finding way on how to save battery and I came to this;

Close any apps or features when you are done using it so they will not continuously running in the background.

how to make sure I close the apps? is it enough with the back arrow?
*
Disable the background apps so they won't try to sync when you're not using.

Better yet to get a whole day of battery performance is to turn on the battery saver and turn on the flight mode. sweat.gif

I prefer it that way, kinda hard to see if all the tiles were the same color  flex.gif
I have always preferred a different color for an app, makes the home screen looks so blazingly beautiful  wub.gif

I prefer the app color too, it gives the app it's own unique look, able to distinguish among other apps. thumbup.gif

For Rudy's apps and other apps, there's an option you could set the tile to adapt the theme color or it's own.

Curious, are there any keyboard shortcuts for WP? Like an equivalent to CTRL+A for desktop. Or a way to select words without the pop-up keyboard getting in the way.

no problem for me on Internet Explorer, just gotta hold a word until the selector comes out. smile.gif

Some part of me wishes that MS allows the search button to change search engine, it doesn't has to be Bing all the way. I'm saying I don't like Bing, I'm trying to say that MS should provide this option to let the users to change their search engine.

Something like this,
