problems as in? I'm came to L720 from my s3. Sick of sucky battery life. WP8 is a nice OS besides that its a bit of unpolished. Its still young give it some times, I'm sure it'll rise like iOS and Android.

That's a pretty awesome phone! Battery life should be way better than 920 because 920 has a slight more gimmicks that suck battery out but hey, if the phone works for you then congratz!  laugh.gif

yeah mate. Never gonna have to do bump charges and carry a stupid power bank with you anymore. Finally found a phone I love so much that never dies on me anymore. Playing with the phone all day long without worrying about the battery. I've been loving Android for so long, never thought WP8 could take me away from Android that easily. I'm looking to upgrade to L920 for the screen resolutionbut afraid to give up the great battery life since you just mentioned L920 battery is not that great. Or Maybe the rumoured 1520?

it seems got satisfied lumia/wp8 users here, but it's really hard for me to find L720 in penang esp seberang jaya. shop either say wp8 problem or nokia problem. they don't even carry any display unit or info for wp8! all android only, haih! don't want to buy online, afraid of facing problem for warranty claim later.
do u guys really face any issue w wp8/nokia? my neighbour (hp seller) even don't want to order for me, actually plan to get 1 lenovo a706 for wife (android) and 1 lumia L720 (wp8) for myself.

I would say those issues are minor or doesn't really irritates me. I had my L720 went dead by itself twice by random and I need to do a soft reset to get it back on. My phone does restart itself several times. But these issues happen rarely and randomly. Other than that are just the feature and UI issues. No custom third party app ringtone, no orientation lock, unified volume control etcs. Imo, most Malaysians are not ready to accept Windows Phone. They may find Livetile confusing as they are used to conventional app drawer. Besides, some don't even know WTH is Android, they only know Samsung vs Apple. Galaxies vs. iPhones. Nokia? They'll track it back to the history of feature phone. Just my 2cents.

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

How's Whatsapp in GDR3? Anyone experiencing delaying notification for WP8 Whatsapp? Or sometimes totally nothing. Sometimes I think the app is not working on background as I only get prompt notification while the app is running and within few minutes after app is closed. WiFi made it worse. Shouldn't be internet speed problem. My android has never delayed me. I'm sick of it. I miss my S3 but was given away sad.gif

Hey guys. Do I need receipt to claim warranty from Avaxx? I tore off the stickers as well. I have a faulty volume rocker. Any chance for a one-to-one exchange warranty or impossible?

Receipt will do the work i believe. When i once went to Berjaya Plaza for asking them the problem with the camera button, which doesn't work at all since I bought the new phone, that lady asked me to give the receipt as well with the phone.
I didn't bother giving my phone for this thing, who cares for the camera button anyway tongue.gif

bad news is I don't have any receipt. Is it still legit for warranty claims? Btw does the Nokia care centre at amcorp mall operates during weekends?

I received my messages instantaneously, perhaps you just have to make sure that the apps is running in the background smile.gif
I always ensure that it's actively running in the background via multitasking view (long press back button)

I don't know how you guys do it. My Whatsapp is running in the background as well as in the multitasking view but I still get delays for push notification. Sucks.
