QUOTE(mf_yamato @ Dec 12 2013, 09:50 AM) currently, i'm an android user, looking to change platform to WP8, Waze for WP8 now is not fully optimized. Is like simply just release to WP8 users to keep them mouth shut. GPS reception is really bad with Waze and is draining battery way to fast for a GPS app.currently on my phone i only have whatsapp, fb, line and waze. this is most apps i use everyday and apps is not my main point for a phone.. i just need fluidity and smoothness |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Dec 12 2013, 08:08 AM) Those used to Androids ( eg me) will find the apps quality is worser besides lacking in variety. Fully agree with benny888. Overall this phone smoothness loses to say XZU, HTC One Max, Note3. As I used the browser a lot all the browsers I tested failed me vs say Boat, Dolphin , Stock internet in Android. All browsers I tested displayed slight jerky during scrolling Major issue I dislike is Microsoft protection of its files. I have yet to find any file manager/explorer app that can fully access even my ext sdcard. All apps I tested are all half baked solutions. Most app developers apologize for this defiency when you launched it n suggest renaming files!!! but since i paid so much for this phone...im gonna stick with it. i just love the build quality compared to samsung. no regrets of buying this phone but i have a feeling that i will buy the new sony xperia ultra z 2 when it is out. |

QUOTE(sklchan @ Dec 12 2013, 09:16 AM) uncle benny welcome to the wp world... notice that since Lumia 800/900 era when the wp7 released... it have been >1 year but seem not much improvement although more and more nice spec hw released... ppls are drolling for these newly release lumia phone but the apps and wp environment keep pushing ppls away... Not familiar with earlier versions of Lumia but for this phone, it is very easy to get apps from other countries. Just change the region to , say USA and you can get any apps from there. Reset region of phone back to Malaysia and apps works fine. The procedures to go through changing proxy, etc etc as listed in page 1 of this thread is not applicable at all. not to mention it seem nowaday m'sian users still have to switch to other proxy in order to get on proper marketplace for more apps download??  |

I just set my Country/Region to US all the time and set Regional Format to Malaysia (English)
And for Browser & search language - English (US). When I first use WP8 last time, I also keep changing the region to download apps. But then I realized that if I reset my phone and restore the applist from cloud backup, then it won't be able to auto download back some of the apps that are only available for certain region. |

Hello everyone,
I just gotten my set this mon and I noticed a chip at the bottom of my phone's screen. It is a dent for removing the screen or it is really a cracked screen? I got my set from storekini and can I go to a nokia shop to have it exchanged or fixed? I will upload a pic asap.  |

Got my casing n sp today.
the casing fit in very well...black color also mix well with my yellow Lumia. one thing to my concern is the sp. After I stick it to the Lumia, notice the edges n side can't really stick to the screen. Most probably the Lumia screen is curve at the side. Afraid this will make the sp fall off easily n soon. This is what happen to my note2 n those edges start collecting dust n slowly spread to other area. do anyone here facing the same issue as mine with the sp? |

Suspect it was for maintenance use to open up the screen.I just gotten my set this mon and I noticed a chip at the bottom of my phone's screen.
