does anyone knows how to download pdf files?? i have tried already, but when it says 'tap to open' nothing happened. Same goes if i download any other files (eg: .rar file).
*
Downloading PDF files worked fine for me, just make sure you have installed Adobe Reader or PDF Reader. Other files can't really be downloaded since apps to open them most likely don't exist in the WP Store.

just curious..do you guys really use 20MP photos or 5MP is enough?
The problem here is when you sync with SkyDrive, it will upload 5MP version only.

I'm lazy to connect my phone with computer using cable just to copy 20MP photos.

Is there any other way that we can copy/extract 20mp file?
*
I use 5MP all the time. 20MP only for reframe which I sometimes do. Sadly there's no other way to get the 20MP files, not yet at least.

you can see those 20MP files upon plugging it into PC. There's these _lowRes and_HighRes naming on the image files.
*
What I meant was there's no other way to access these 20MP files except by plugging into a PC hehe.

both reader i install previously. but still can't. hurm.....

Maybe you should just install one app haha! Anyway, WP is a bit picky, if the file is saved without file extension, it won't open in the associated app even though it's the correct type. Unfortunately we can't choose what filename to save the file. Try downloading PDF from another site to try.

Lack of SD Card support is correct but where did u read that it lacks Glance screen support? Besides the screen is OLED somemore.

1more thing for sure, no glance for 930. smile.gif

Yap and this is quite a shocker honestly. Nokia have been doing a great job with unique features to the point that glance screen is expected but don't know what happened till such a hardware oversight can happen on their new flagship phone. This is going to piss off a lot of ppl....

Dear all, I have released new version of my app called MY ASEAN Holidays.

From this app you will be able to get 2014 national and state holidays for ASEAN countries. School holiday calendar only available for Malaysia and Singapore for now.

What's more .. you can also set multiple reminders for different holidays in different countries !

.. and if you frequently want to see countdown to the next holiday, just Pin Live Tile & enable notifications .. voila, you will get a daily reminder on the next holiday coming soon !!

New update on version 1.9

- Updated Live Tile

App can be downloaded from the following link : MY ASEAN Holidays

Do leave any feedback on my thread here.

Great job! Have been using your app for some time already thumbup.gif

maybe they though glance isnt that important since android and ios dont even have glance also. haha~ well. design for lumia 930 kinda nice but just not full fill what i need. anyway, it is the perfect size that im looking for instead of lumia 1520. haha...but nvm, im already used to it with 1520. lol...
*
Well it's super important to us Nokia users hehe. Yeah the design of Lumia 930 is cool actually. Too bad no SD Card support means it's completely crossed out of my list. More than happy with my mega sized 1520 also hahaha!

QUOTE(mavezai1984 @ Apr 4 2014, 12:46 PM)
Apparently, because Icon and 930 lacked of 'display memory' on their OLED due to cost cut. laugh.gif

Not a bad thing actually as we might see 930 with decent price.

http://m.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-930-doe...lance-heres-why
*
I don't think the cost cutting will be reflected that much on the selling price. The unlocked price of the Lumia 930 is USD599 now while our Lumia 1520 started at USD549. More like they try to keep it within below USD600 so had to cut cost which is sad hmm.gif

The original Nokia Qi charger is expensive.... Rm269...

outside compatible ones around rm100+ only.

wondering the charging time would take longer or not.
*
Yeah Nokia Wireless charger is expensive. I'm using the stand one, pretty worth it for me lah, have been using it almost a year now. Yes charging is longer, almost 3 hours to fully charge the phone. I use it when I go to sleep, just put it on the stand, acts like a night clock also with glance screen thumbup.gif

RM309 if I'm not mistaken. But I used the RM50 preorder voucher from my Lumia 920 so ended up a little cheaper for me hehe.

Eh why do some of u presume that the developer preview is buggy? I used the developer preview for GDR3 when it was released last year before Nokia Black came out, no issues pun. That was on my L920.

I do not foresee this next developer preview to be buggy mess. So yeah, installing it the moment it comes out icon_rolleyes.gif

But but.. it's "developers preview"

Final product should be Cyan update

The developer preview is final for Windows Phone base. Cyan update is stuff that Nokia adds in like their drivers to enable stuff on our phones.

why even bother with wireless charging...other being a good gimmick to show off , practically is not due to its extremely slow charging I understand is only half the speed vs direct AC charging
*
Huh? The convenience is such a big difference & it's not a gimmick. Probably it charges very slow on other phones but on both my L920 & L1520, it just takes an extra hour to charge, perfect for charging when I sleep. Also I don't need to fumble in the dark looking for the port to plug the cable to charge. Just set it on the charging stand, done! Doubles as my night clock as well.

I usually just let it charge, the wireless charger automatically switches off after the phone is fully charged also. Even MORE convenient rclxms.gif

Has anyone use Zinio on the 1520? How does it work for you when viewing the mags in magazine-mode (not text-mode)? am thinking if the 1520 is good enough for the Zinio and not have to consider Surface tablet.
*
Honestly 6" is still not big enough haha! But it's fine for me lah, can at least zoom in & read. Else just use text-mode. It's not a phone/app issue, you just get a better reading experience on a device with 10" display or more.

guys...

same... but we do have 1 additional Toggle within Action Centre~ laugh.gif
*
Yeap, that extra toggle for Action Centre is the extra that we get for having a monster phone laugh.gif


After using this from 10pm till now, here's my summary:

The Good:
1) Love the new smaller fonts & layout for our big screen. Finally our 6" screen is put to better use, no longer just a bigger 720p.
2) Great Action Centre & Notifications design. It's simple & shows me exactly what I need to know.
3) Ability to move apps to SD Card. Man this is a life saver!!! Moved some huge ass games over to SD Card & now finally can have more breathing space on the phone main storage.
4) Cortana!!! Used up a lot of battery playing with it laugh.gif

The Bad:
1) Not as butter smooth as before. Hopefully this will get sorted out as there's definitely some lag here & there. This is obvious in games too.
2) Seems the OS either does very aggressive memory management or they overhauled the fast resume in such a way that apps have to be updated to cater for this. Only the most recent app in multitasking can be fast resumed from what I've noticed. The rest gets suspended & have to reload state on resume. Definitely not ideal...

love wp 8.1 but there several bug/problem.

battery drain fast.
game now put on the outside not in xbox game sad.gif

Battery drain will solve itself after a while. Let the phone settle down & don't play with it so much laugh.gif

As for games showing up in App list, yeah I do not prefer this, makes my App list so cluttered looking now. But the games still show up in Xbox Games folder.
