good update ..btw file picker isnt file manager right?

No idea but really wish it would turned out to be.

Despite what some said to have better security i really look forward to a better files manager app.
At least allow me to manage all files on external sdcard. Ability to transfer all type of files in between phone n external sdcard n vice versa is another bonus.

the removal of FB integration is sad...

Those with random reboots, try removing the Nokia Apps folder.

Now the only question is
"When?"

How long is old lumias get Lumia 'black' update after announced, fairly quick I suppose. As for 'blue', announcement is due to April, hopefully get our hands on it around Q3.

hi all, i'm looking for Micro SD card, planning get one of this
SanDisk Extreme® PLUS
http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-car.../?capacity=16GB

or

Samsung Pro
http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-...MGAGBA/AM-specs

anyone is using above ?

Im using one.

Consistent transfer speed and never had problem with it.


Attached thumbnail(s)

transfer not an issue, i read some of the forum, someone tested with Sandisk Ultra. When do video recording in the mirco SD card, when playback got shutter problem...that why people recommend using Extreme Plus.

Sandisk
Read is 80Mbps/s
Write is 30Mbps/s

Samsung
Read is 70Mbps/s
Write is 20Mbps/s

Based on spec Samsung a bit slow than Sandisk, not sure when do video capturing having the same problem or not.
Btw do you mind how much you bought for the Samsung Pro.

I did some FHD recording back at CNY, doesnt seems to have shutter problem like u mentioned. I have 1 64gb, 2 32gb Samsung's MicroSDXC memory card, didnt face problem till now. As for price, should be roughly around rm200.

thanks bro.. happy to hear that. Because Sandisk is more expensive than samsung..

where did you buy this? The one I saw don't have adapter.

Beware when u purchase as there's alot of imitation Samsung's MicroSD in market that has almost the same packing as original. My friend kena 1 when shopping, content transferred unreadable, rosak within a week.

true.. nowdays a lot memory card and USB flash drive got a lot imitation

after the shortcoming on functionnality on WP8

8.1 update will be like
"Well, that's escalated quickly'

Winows 8.1 revealed ( emulated version)
