Just bought a set nokia x for my mom for basic usage and introduction to the world of smartphone for her. So far so good no complain from her smile.gif hoping for the update soon

me too! coz its really user friendly especially for the old folks.. big icon, large screen, bright display n simple using. she likes it very much... btw, bought it from storekini at the same retail price, got free powerbank and lowyat sticker.. very satisfied..

QUOTE(zidane28 @ Apr 7 2014, 10:47 PM)
Actually the purpose of Nokia X with the Modern interface is to let users familiarize with Modern interface of Windows Phone and also let users use Microsoft services like OneDrive with hope that when users have more money, they will jump ship to Nokia Lumia, which have the same interface and services but only diff OS in behind...
*
Agreed, plus market share for android is about 50%++ which is substantially higher than windows, iphone and blackberry. This is getting nokia worried. I read about the article regarding this topic..n yes nokia intends for the world to depend less on google apps by introducing their alternative. I just hope windows user doesn't feel betrayed by this. Nokia just a great big company who foresee this opportunity n takes a big risk in introducing nokia x line..

The easiest way was to side load the APK. Go to www.whatsapp.com/android/‎ from the phone browser.
Download the apk. Install from Download folder.

Nokia X is an android phone but it is also not truly an android phone at the same time. It is better to consider Nokia X a hybrid of android, windows and asha OS. Nokia X's OS sets it apart from any other android smartphones. The colourful tiles and fast lane is unique. Furthermore, it has a catchy design and attractive back covers. What do you guys think about this phone? Is the X OS better or do you prefer the usual vanilla android?
*
I think X OS is better, i've gone through htc's sense which in the end i got bored and download go launcher for my desire.. n i've never had the nerve to buy a lumia until this x line came out at WMC 14. we know s5 n z1 compact is the highlight there but this entry level phone just steal the spot n controversial enough to attract media attention notworthy.gif . for me it is a breakthrough for the regular OS. Dont know why.. just have this exited feeling every time using Nokia X. Know what i mean? Neway, great thread though bro... thumbup.gif

name it entry level lumia n high end asha. lack in here but advance in there. nokia is quite clear when they said its purpose is to introduce windows like experience for their users. i know its lack of integration with google services is frustrating but nokia x target is really the first-time smartphone buyers. i'm having difficulty with doc reader coz viewing papers is a daily essential. for this price range, lenovos is good to go for.

still trying to be positive with nokia x btw. Just hope n hope nokia will take their android to the next level, high-end level mayb. what do u think?

laugh.gif laugh.gif looks like i haven't fully explore my nokia x. i just think its a relieve enough the power button on the right, more accessible than htc's desire which is on the top.

Basically the cons are not the weakness, you just need to explore further or own this gadget in order to get what i mean here. Try it and you will know... thumbup.gif

Agreed with u. Basically its the same with other smartphone. used to follow xperia's forum on technicality, any lacks on the phone (especially compared to samsung) always being covered by other alternatives. That doesn't mean cheap especially when we r talking bout high end one.

zenfone 4 or nokia x?
rm248 vs rm338

http://www.techopti.com/cheap-android-smar...asus-zenfone-4/

zenfone 4 is a lot more than i thought. if u depends a lot on google services, sticks with it. at least nokia x's battery is removable (with more capacity) n we know since before smartphone how good nokia's cell compared to others-quite long lasting. This is if u concern bout battery's life n use your phone quite frequent. Plus, just in case u r bored with typical OS, u r welcome to the family. nod.gif

see for yourself said famous fastlane

Really no lag at all?
*
I've notice a lot of concerns regarding nokia x lagging. what can u say when theres no back up by heavy gpu, there might be lag here n there. Some say they have prob with keyboard lagging, others say while playing hd games n closing apps but so far so good coz it only lags a little. Some other will definitely buy this phone if theres no lag while playing dead trigger 2, real racing 3 n modern combat 4. Just have to actively manage the phone n dump many apps as possible.

Mom didnt complaint any lag yet but what does she know bout managing apps right. so i think nokia x is still good to go for.

you're right. red usually girl's choice so suits my mom alright but luminous green is the most catchy one. The ads n promo is all in green it gives excited feeling really. If i get the chance to buy another one, i would go for green n forget the blue. I mean look at that

Hi,
Anyone encounter issue of the screen coming alive in yr pocket and accidentally typing or launching apps?
Other issues are:
# the phone rang in pocket and it got answered, strange because the swipe down motion to answer call is not easy to accidentally executed.
# sometimes phone rang once then stopped but when you looked at the screen the call was still going on.
Note: I hv the double tap screen thingy off.

QUOTE(hightechgadgets8 @ Apr 12 2014, 11:20 AM)
Knock to wake has a limitation. Keeps waking whilst in your pocket. Mine woke started making calls, and turning on music by itself while in my pocket.
*
theres another one from gsm -- when phone is locked, screen blinks automatically n keys get started hitting, then i tried wid password, but d lock keys gets pressed, even a call gets answered on its own, n u dont even know about it when its in pocket --

i've not yet encounter this prob but wannna discuss, r these probs possibly because we've switch on the double tap screen option once? bcoz i see the way to prevent it is that we should have not switch on the option in the first place.. what u guys think

don't have a friend using nokia x, worried my android app can't work : (
anyone can help to try install kakaotalk?
after installing .apk can it be auto update like usual android?

QUOTE(suntzulee @ Apr 15 2014, 09:22 AM)

yes it will work. in fact, nokia x is a real android system base. You may download most of the apps from its nokia store or sub store which is 1 Mobile Market which is subsequently available in nokia store. Not to be worry as nokia x is as good as any android smartphone. Go get one and try it yourself. You will be surprised how good it is when you have it on your hand. icon_rolleyes.gif
*
*
it'll work alright. Its just that nokia suggest/prefer users to download straight from nokia store coz they wont be responsible for any third parties. However the good news is, nokias getting active in increasing the num of adroid apps on nokia x family by inviting developers to join their store. So in the future we may not've to install .apk much. hope so.

ok guys, i will do a review on custom rom available for nokia x. Well, i have tried three custom rom which were Lewa OS, Cynogen CM10 and Android Vanilla AOSP. Eventually i found they were not stable at the moment. There were just too many bugs for daily use...Therefore, i will advise user not to flash custom rom and stick with stock rom which is latest firmware 11.1.1. The stock rom is stable and sufficient to cater all your daily needs.
That's all from me and i shall recommend to everyone when custom rom becomes stable later. For now, i'm very satisfied with stock firmware and the unique of Windows UI. Fast, smooth and very responsive. rclxms.gif
*
so they're not stable yet. thnks for the info though. smile.gif n i heard (for those who want google apps on nokia x) its more simple to root nokia x n install google play store when it is running version 10.0.3 rather than updating the phone to software version 11.1.1. your pc will require KingoRoot app if u're on 11.1.1

QUOTE(syd04 @ Apr 15 2014, 01:05 PM)
Confirmed!
My phone self-answers my phone calls when it is in my pocket.
Is it a bug?
Or something to do with the sensor?

i think its the sensor

Is just a myth. Either 10.0.3 or 11.1.1, rooting is just piece of cake.

its good then. coz if its true, user on 11.1.1 will have a hard time to root their phone.. nod.gif

I haven't got the time to go to Nokia service center today.
So, I am experimenting....I taped the sensor and so far no problem, two calls came in. But with the sensor taped, the screen goes blank if I didn't answer fast enough.
I went to setting-security-lock screen and see only "none". I click into it and I don't see the "swipe" option.
When I click at "none", it will go back to lock screen setting.
*
Alright, will wait for update. even there r prob where phone answered call when pulling from pocket which might b due to downward swipe to receive call thingy. hve take alert coz happen wid other doesnt mean wont happen wid me in future. even if u go for nokia care, hope they can settle right then n there.

I cannot tahan and tried again. I used my friend's phone to call myself.
It is not the sensor. With sensor taped, calls still got answered.
I tried with phone in pocket....
Action: not moving at all.
Result: phone continued ringing.
Concluson: no problem.
Action: move slightly and slowly
Result: phone calls answered or rejected, eventually
Conclusion: the swipe motion to reject or answer is too sensitive.
Action: walking normal speed
Result: phone calls answered or rejected almost as soon as I hear the ring
Conclusion: something is really wrong with the phone.
*
Then syd04, my friend u hve to make a visit to nokia care. tell them from a to z what happened with ur phone, evry single thing. u will find the personnel typed back ur complaint exactly what've been told. I find this funny coz my complaint area is very long on the receipt when i visited them. Mobile Technic Sdn Bhd that is.

i dont think its bcoz u mishandled the phone coz theres user in india facing the same prob

I went to the Nokia Care in Amcorp, PJ this afternoon.

My friends think that I should demand for a new set from them since they can't solve my problem. It is clearly a manufacturing defect (screen being too sensitive).

Pls get advice from nokia malaysia and act accordingly.
overall im still satisfied with it. smile.gif

thats y i didnt try to forward to them. this thing is out of hand n is a global thing. only nokia finland can give the right solution. but how can they know if theres no one draw their attention. i've been meaning to forward this to the right forum, hoping to get a solution. Just most of them didnt active enough to attract any attention.

demanding for new set--yes u should refer to nokia malaysia. me visiting nokia care is solely bcoz of my fault, but its all ok now. manufacturing defect...who knows lucky's on ur side. but hey, any update on this i'm sure all open to hear from u.

Update:
I hv raised my problem to Nokia Malaysia on FB. They are very responsive and told me to master reset my phone. I did that and still the same.
They say they will escalate the problem to the relevant department and will call me once they have any news.
I feel very lemah semangat already.
Now I hv to reinstall apps and put everything back in order. Using this phone now is so stressful.
I hope they will replace my phone with a new unit.
I am close to giving up......

Dont be. If anything, its not good to stressed out too much.
Im sure fellow nokia x user even nokia ms wish this thing'll come out with a solution soon.
its coming to May n nokia x+/xl is coming around april-june. mayb u'll win any from this heck even the new nokia. who knows.

all i'm saying sabar sabar icon_rolleyes.gif
