after few weeks using 930, sadly to say this Windows phone still need more developer supporting it.

I cant log in my Mapmyride account because it doesn't have facebook integration, once I manage to get my username and password , the interface is horrible compared to IOS/Android.

Spotify is ok, but it doesn't the most important feature for me, Spotify Connect, I cant use the phone to play a song through my wireless speaker.

I can't find any app to play my DSD,24 bit FLAC files , and it doesn't support USB DAC which is a bummer.( I haven't found any app for that yet)

The camera is awesome, pictures taken are awesome, screen is good, love the deep blacks. Using the keyboard is awesome, very accurate and fast

But right now, the few issues that I have is making me switching back to Android.

So selling my green Lumia 930 if anyone interested..

I tested many wireless speaker by using Spotify, non of them fail.. did you pair them in Bluetooth? Or your wireless speaker is using WiFi direct rather than Bluetooth?

Bro , i'm using Spotify Connect, if using standard Wireless or Bluetooth of course can use..but ur limited by the Bluetooth Audio quality, which is ok..but not great...if ur using APT-X, then quality is better, but I don't think nokia 930 is a APT-X certified device


Using Spotify Connect, ur letting the Spotify app in the speaker connect directly to the Spotify server, so its streaming from the speaker itself, your phone is just a remote to select music.. so ur getting the highest quality audio, and if Spotify upgrade to Lossless streaming, then u can hear difference more.



My speaker is Sony SRS-X9 wireless speaker, a Spotify connect enable wireless speaker.

It is, the Lumia Denim update enabled support for APT-X

I don't remember Spotify having support for lossless music, both local and streaming. Spotify's music max out at 320Kbps.

Its not supported, if u see my statement, IF spotify support lossless, emphasis on the IF there. I'm not saying it is already, right now its using the highest bitrate for Ogg.

I've tried TIDAL hifi, spotify rival, streaming lossless audio or atleast CD quality FLAC, there are differences with the right setup. Sadly even TIDAL app is not available for windows mobile.

another thing that was miss for me is lack of OpenVPN or PPTP support. I use vpn service to watch hulu n netflix.. so when i want to use my 4g connection to watch them, usually i use getflix.com.au pptp vpn , when i want to setup on my 930, only have IKE and L2TP vpn..


Again, Nokia 930 is a SOLID device, very good camera, very good hardware... just being left out by developers because of windows phone platform...
