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

Back before August, the problem had driven me crazy till I sold off my 920.
Now it seems normal already as I can whatsapp with other platform without issue.

Btw, the whatsapp license has been universe? I jump from android and the period remaining same T.T left 5 months...

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+
*
When are they gonna update for Korea or Japan?
I'm going to travel Kr next year >.<

Did you get a notification that Amber was available? For me, I searched for updates at around 3pm yesterday from settings. Managed to get the Glance screen but not the Pro Cam.

does your screen appear dimmer after the update?

Mine is 1020 so it's amber by default.

Pro camera got update?

Thats great. Bro, would like to know if there is any gmail client apps for WP8? And, how do you think of the browser performance. I'm currently eyeing to buy L925.

You can sign in and it will associate all your contacts and calender into the phone smile.gif
No need apps.

I no use the IE so maybe you can try seek answer from others.

what alternatives available to replace IE?

That's good because I will use gmail a lot. You don't use IE so what browser are you using? Others apps such as whatsapp, fb, twitter all are stable or still got some bugs?
*
QUOTE(fixgd @ Oct 7 2013, 03:06 PM)
all apps are quite stable but i guess notification not as fast as blackberry and iphone (from my experience). but it happen sometimes only.
*
I rarely use phone to browse internet nowadays sweat.gif
Even if I do, i also use my Galaxy S3's (Secondary Phone) Chrome browser, but it's like once in a week or totally no since I can browse in office.

Whatsapp compare to few months ago, I must admit that they really did a good job in updating the app.
The reason why I gave up on 920 that time (mid of July'13) was due to the delay of whatsapp.
Imagine I'm using same network and same area and I using both S3 & 920.
I tried to msg from S3 to 920 and it can took 1 hour for 920 to receive that small msg - "HI".

Now I'm a happy user of WP8 thumbup.gif

Facebook? I kinda frustrate of it due to so many ads coming to it nowadays ...
So no no Facebook for me except on Ipad right now, lol ...

Do you have any other primary phone or WP8 is your primary? I don't want to use 2 phones just because there are so many bugs with WP8. I am hardly considering WP8 because of its smoothness and for sure i want to stand out from other people who mostly use iphone or samsung.

It will be good if you can share some more of your experience. Such as gmail, some mini games(light use to kill time), and anythings.
*
Lumia 1020 is Primary right now.
S3 is secondary for usage like watching youtube if boring, lol ...

Still waiting google to release the API to WP8 to develop an official YouTube. I don't really like those unofficial one though they are not bad.

I downloaded some small games like Wordament, Tetris Blitz to kill time on WP8.
So far WP8 provide good experience for me and I'm an Android user since 2010 sweat.gif

Maybe still usable but no more further improvement eh ?

Then how we access multi-task?
Right now we access multi-task by long pressing the back button.
Long press windows button will bring out voice control.

Dun tell me double tap ?

Hi guys!

My lumia 1020 yellow colour reporting in duty. So far,im satisfied with the camera performance..the lag in between shots are not so terrible for me.

Bought at rm2499 bundled with camera grip in the box..

I've waited this device since it was leaked..i supposed this is a nice upgrade from my loyal serving Lumia 800 which is still working in good condition 😊

Gratz. Come to this thread and report biggrin.gif
