new 930 Black user here, upgraded from my 5 year old N8. Got it for 1500 new (together with free bag and powerbank) since it is an year old model. Was thinking getting either stock android or Windows phone but since i like the camera and offline gps function so i decide to get myself 930 instead.


I got some questions:

-The phone switches on itself when charging? Can it charge while phone is switched off?
-The camera, how do i actually have total full control on it? As in set in macro mode then i set own iso or shuttle speed? The ori app does not allow me to do together at the same time
-How do i know if the camera is focused? There no green indicator to tell me it is focused, it just some click sound prior to press the shutter.
-Do you guys play with cover or leave it unprotected? Where you guys get your own cover?
-How do i check the phone OS version? the guy told me my phone is newly delivered to their store.
-Is there any app that are deemed bloatware to make phone go faster?
-Is the battery replace-able as in replaced at the service center? I considering stocking up some battery since i tend to used the same phone for long long time. I tried get N8 new battery for other uses but service center stopped carrying it (and shitty service from them too)

Guess that for all for now.

Do you get it from Nokia branded store or just regular mobile phone store? I got mine from KLCC Nokia shop and they quote me RM1499 together with free windows bag and random power bank.

Somewhat a day after i bought my phone, i noticed shop in Lowyat and pavilion (both nokia branded) store still quote me RM1800 for the 930



For the battery, do i need to constantly charge up whenever its possible? My phone only used 20% of battery whole day (100 to 80%), I wondering if i should let it charge phone overnight (which i always does in my N8) or just use the remaining battery to the end before recharge??

930 still sold for 1800 at some nokia store as far as i checked last week when I got my 930. Maybe there are slow to update i suppose?

I was going to buy Moto X to replace my N8 very soon before i changed my mind and stick is nokia cos i know i will miss the camera and the offline gps if i changed to Moto X. Thanks to the RM1500 deal I asked in KLCC nokia (Pavilion and Lowyat branch still priced at 1800 when asked), I straight away buy the phone on the spot Nokia N8 still going strong except due for new battery change

By the way, is there anyway to disable image in website? I have put data sense into high which will use lowest photos in the website which still zap some data MB's from my plan. I would still prefer to have the "do not show image" like in N8 they have this function where it will only show written text and blocked all photo from showing. I need it cos my phone only had 300MB data (still in prepaid cos i din call much so i don see the need to get postpaid for now, using whatapp more often lol )

Got such thing as adblock for internet explorer?

Was thinking which camera app the best for 8.1? Lumia Camera or Microsoft camera for 930? How to know i if i using MS camera when there only can acess Lumia Camera

edit: i only can acess MS Camera by pressing the camera physical button after i set it as default camera. Somewhat there is no app button for MS camera.

I find that Lumia colours are more warmer too.

Where you changed the setting?? Is it at the "system" under setting or at the camera. Don't see that option in the camera setting.

So I suppose the new denim camera is worse off than the prior to denim??

I checked my camera app list and there no "camera" in the list 😐
