with windows 10 looming on 29th july, wonder how it will perform in lumia 930?

or upgrade to lumia 940 better?

As far as I can see, the user experience will still be top notch on Lumia 930. But, if you're looking for newer features like Continuum & Hello as demo-ed by Microsoft, then Lumia 940 is the one to look forward.

I'm planning to get the 940 sometime middle of next year. Until then; Windows 10 Mobile on my 930!

for the time being, lumia 930 still going strong.

but i believe that lumia 940 + windows 10 is a killer combination. but expect killer pricing as well.

Quick question to any L930 owner, does your L930 vibration sounds like this :



Is this normal? It's kind of annoying compare to my L925's vibration.

Also, anyone manage to fix the Lumia 930 screen lift issue at Nokia Care Center?

regarding the screen lift issue, i just fixed it. just came back from service center for over 2 months i think. havent found it to lift up again.

Hows 930 going on.

I would like to replce my 920. Very likely. I ma nokia fans. yea... 940 don't have "nokia" on it already...

but looking 940 seems promising.

I've owned the L925 for about a year now. Unfortunately, it broke down so I've decided to buy the L930. Here are my first impression after using it for about 3 days :

The good :
- Fast performance. Apps load quick, the "Resuming..." stuff is rarely seen and the Lumia Camera app start up very fast.
- Loaded with feature. Want to record your steps? You can. Want to install the Hyperlapse Mobile app? You can.
- Comfortable typing experience. The larger screen makes it easier to type.

The bad :
- Heat. This phone get hot easily on the bottom left part even if you're just browsing the web.
- Terrible low-light performance. My L925 produce far better low light image than this phone.
- Fast battery drain. After about 4 hours of usage, the battery already drops from 90% to 60% with moderate usage on medium brightness.
- Goodbye one-handed usage. Due to my small hand, it's now impossible to press the back button with one hand.
- No Glance. Since I don't wear any watches, it's annoying that I have to press the power button to see the time.

Isolated issue, these issue may just be limited to me, but make sure, to check if you're planning to buy the L930 :
- Obnoxious vibration. The vibration on this phone isn't as subtle and pleasant as it was on my L925
- Screen lift. See my previous post.
- Purple tint. If you set the brightness to auto, the screen will sometimes switch to purple tint and then back to normal
- Battery saver brightness doesn't work. Makes late night browsing very unpleasant.

Overall, my experience with the L930 has been good but nothing spectacular. If your 920 still works, I recommend you to wait for the L940 instead.

I would agree with everything as almost 1 year user of L930.

If you can wait, wait for L940 instead... else, you can't really go wrong with L930.

thanks for the long reply!!! My 920 now lost its vibrator function since January. I check online mainly because the motor spoiled. I don't want to repair it coz will factory reset in care center quite a trouble for me..

The heat problem is still there? Sigh.... And I tot the bettery drain will be improve but sadly you say no... And its quite bad.

Unfortunately, for L930 it is pretty bad if you turn on your screen quite often. It's pretty much similar to any android out there. I'm thinking it probably is due to the Snapdragon 800 itself rather than the OS pushing too much power. Similarly how it goes with the heat, but I'm fine with it as I can rest assured the SoC is getting adequate heat dissipation just not very comfortable to hold...

if heat is really a big issue for you, I can recommend you L830. If not because of the Snapdragon 400 is having lower performance I would have recommend this early on, but the only part that Snapdragon is decreasing in experience is the 3D gaming portion. Everything else is almost similar to L930 (obviously, camera is not one of them... )

Acticate double tap to wake to see the time.

Huh? L940 coming out?
When?

time to replace my 925...

Any confirmed news on next flagship phome?

Sounds funny haha, like someone "fang pi". Have you tried consulting the nearest Nokia Care center? maybe need a mobo replacement (should be covered under warranty)

what is the price of 930 now?

really tempt to get one. But the 940... arghhhhhh

Heard that it is going around 1.2k to 1.4k

940 is really tempting but probably gonna hold it off for financial reasons
Unless Microsoft wants me to review the phone

For the fast battery drain part, have you close all unwanted background app & change the mail sync to at least 2 hours instead of "based on my usage "? Changing brightness to Auto/Low would help conserve battery too.

Looks like not having glance feature takes up quite a bit of battery for user that needs to unlock for time viewing.

Anybody else notice this week, we're getting frequent app updates to our L930 including Microsoft apps? Hopefully this is the initial sign of the eventual app gap closure we're all waiting for...

L930 is very good. My previous WP device was L1520, compare with that, I like L930 more.

Let's see how's the next WP flagship phone.
