Did anyone come across this scenario.....?

Lets say your volume level is at 12 and when you opened a video link such as YouTube, the video volume level will be played at 12 no matter if pressed for louder or lower.

I first realised when I opened a video in YouTube but I could not hear a thing. Upon checking, I realized the volume level was at 0. So, I increased it but to no avail, although the volume level was at 30 max.

Then I played another Youtube video and I could hear it! I realised I can't control the volume that was already set right before I click to a video link.

I tried again, this time with a news video from CNN. And its the same.

Its interesting but weird. I thought its because of low battery. But now its charging, and the situation remain the same.

Or is it that the phone is as such?

No such problem on mine. I can set volume at any level for subsequent videos. Just retested it to confirm
I am on 8.1 n Fire Browser/UC browser

Hmmm... why can't I search for the update.
Is my pathway correct? settings>>system>>phone update>>check for updates

8.1 is just developer preview edition
You need first sign up to be a developer n you will be given a link to download app preview for developer. Click on app n you will b guided...thereafter you can update subsequently all updates from settings/system/phone updates

Just google how to install this n plenty sites teaching you

Got few questions thought
-the twitter apps is not funtioning properly..i don't get any notifications from the apps..
-how to activate cortana?already set the language,speech and region to United States but still Cortana wont show up
-why the camera is so..ermm..how should i say it..not exceeding my expectations..i mean even my HTC titan camera is better..i dunno..maybe its me..maybe its the phone

Other than that..this phone is perfect smile.gif
*
Are you on wp8.1 developer preview ? Cortana only works on 8.1
Camera - I am happy with it. You can try using Nokia Camera beta instead

sklchan...

the one at lazada from T&L Telecom is considered AP set right?.  You bought it there right?.  How is the condition so far?.  Any issue?  Any advise if buying AP set?
*
AP set main issue is just warranty claim..it is more troublesome n time consuming. They need to usually send it back to country of origin. With Lazada you need to check the seller ratings as so many different type of sellers under Lazada. If unit offered directly from Lazada all their AP need to send back to country of origin

any guide step by step upgrade to 8.1? is it still developer preview version? i dont get any update over the air

Is quite simple. Basically you need to register first as a developer n you will be given a link to download an app to access the update. There is no official update yet n the DP version is very good

thanks uncle you always the best, hope there is more fun to explore with this phone.

just one last question to be safe, does this developer update wipe phone storage?
*
NO. All data will remain
Just be patient when you see the gear rolling - it does take several minutes to install n migrate your data over

Well never try never know..why always wanna rely on review when u can experience it yourself??now am on cyan and there is no whatsoever problem compare to my previous dev preview.and FYI i also switch from xperiA Z and i can tell u wont regret a thing! Besides the water resistant function.battery LIFE is FAR MUCH BETTER THAN XZ

+1 . Review only a guide. N bad comments sure has for any phone but are usually isolated. Nothing beats own experience using it. I never allow negative comments to affect my buying decision. Be concerned only if everyone is complaining about the same thing

big screen/great display.
big battery
Lumia Denim (4k video)
the color
20mpxl great camera/haac recording (only downside is bad low light video)

the phone is great. but the OS is still half bake. many feature need to be added and polish.
*
Biggest issue i had with the Nokia 1520 n all Windows phones is the much poorer quality of app vs Android
A great plus for this phone vs all other phones I had used is the brillant display that one can easily read even under bright sunlight

someone recommended me for OPO, is it really that good compared to L1520 ?
this is making me having a dilemma again =.=

Depends on your needs. That oppo is a good phone but is an Android. Besides Oppo there r alternatives from HTC,Sony,LG, Huawei etc w similar specs
Do study differences between Android n Windows n assess which OS meet your needs better
Never follow the crowd in such matters as your needs could be different from Oppo users
