I got fed up of Nokia and their constant high priced low spec, lesser features phones strategy, so I got myself a oneplus one. However, my dad got a Lumia 630, i got to play around with it and I have to say the interface is really really not user friendly at all, need to scroll scroll scroll read everything, every line, because its not alphabetical order. Want to change ringtone also need to use computer to put in the ringtone folder, bloody hell nokia.. (if I'm doing something wrong please correct me, I still need to set the ringtone for my dad lol)

Back to the discussion, I was only browsing around changing some settings here and there, and the Lumia 630 felt UNCOMFORTABLY warm in my hands, this is the first time I experience this. (yes, the lumia 630 is low specs, but I hope this isn't the same for the other Lumia phones)



edit: I feel like i'm blaming the wrong company, it should be Microsoft's fault - even for having no apps, somehow we always relate like "Nokia? Nokia no apps one" when in truth it is 'WINDOWS PHONE' that has no apps, blame Microsoft not Nokia! /rant over

no one ask u buy lumia phone...

why wanna change your S4?

get the Cyan update first. and don't expect all phones OS work exactly like android..
and, i using my own customized ringtone as well as notification tone & alarm tones without need a pc.
about the scrolling long listing, it is problem on that app's developer, not the WP itselt. some of my apps allows me to quick jump to a selection by providing shortcut #,A,B,C,D...

I like it, less random bug/behavior compared to my experience on Nexus 4 on KitKat.

I used Lumia 525 before I get to L930, I didn't notice the uncomfortable warm... but it seems some unit does affected by these things, some are not...

The thing about Windows Phone is, it is not user friendly directly when you first touch it. The design language is very different. But once you understand the language (or should I say get used to it?) and setup your start screen properly, it's a lot easier to do stuff.

Ringtone, I didn't need to use a PC to set it up. I use Ringtone Maker (did I get the name right, folks?) it will save your audio into ringtone.


about the scrolling long list, I think he meant the Setting page... I hate that page with all my guts...

IMO, if you purchase nokia from their "so-called" official shops, then yes the RRP is expensive, but if you look around at phone shops, the price is actually quite decent...
and not everyone willing to get AP phones, no matter how much more cheaper they cost compare to phones with official warranty...

Yes, in some way WP is frustrating but there are things that WP is doing it right...
as for your scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, the only part i scroll a lot is Settings...other than that, i have no problem finding the app or tiles in the home screen...
like hooi_jd stated, press the alphabet to jump to the app...

as for the apps, there are plenty of good 3rd party apps in the windows store...
i remember reading articles that MS even pay developers to get their apps into WP, but some how i feel this has backfired, with developers just publish their apps and dont really update them with newer features or worse, dont even want to fix buggy apps...
try look around in the windows store for 3rd party that you need...

you can create ringtone using "ringtone maker" by nokia / microsoft mobile...

WP may not be what you expected as it is very much different from android, but try explore around and hopefully your experience with it will improve (even if you are not the one using it)...
i believe when you first use android or any other phone, you will poke around, read article, search the internet for features that your phone has...so just give it a little time to explore it...

I gonna get a Lumia 930. So I not sure whether to sell my Lumia or use it. If I use it than I gotta sell my S4 away.


Alright. Thanks.

no need to explain...the way he wrote, confirmed is troll...

Does Nokia Lumia 930 have Cyan update features?

Yes, L930 is among the first phone to get Cyan pre-loaded.. so out of the box its already Cyan

Can anyone post the measurement of this Lumia box. I just got it from the courier but it seems like the content inside is not the phone. It is still in the big envelope. I scare to open first. After I open they say I take it away already.

The box of this phone is unlike the iphone or old Nokia boxes. The box is thin and flat. Perhaps you can take a video of your unwrapping so if anything happens you can show them the video?

Good idea. I think the box is in but the phone is not in. The box is as heavy as a empty paper box.

All the best.

Btw, Whom or where did you bought it from?

p/s: Remember to close up on the information of postage slip aswell. Especially the weight of the parcel.

I better reply you by PM.

Buy phone from internet is very risky... Unless the seller has good reputation..

Hey guys, does anyone else have a problem with the front camera? I know the phone has a purple tint prob (which can be fixed in settings) but somehow my front camera takes pictures with purple tint. Not sure if it's my phone issue or that's just the way it is?

Using Camera360 app and with a filter fixes this though, but still.

is your screen protector covers the front camera as well? mine so far no such problem...

Nope it doesn't..

thinking to get lumia 930, tried it and everything seems ok, just a tad thick and heavy but overall very well built...

btw, it seems there's no hdr in the camera app? 930 owners can share pls~ perhaps i'm no expert for wp8.... last time used lumia 820
