sorry bro, i use android 4.4.4 on moto x (1st gen) while my wife and father use WP8.1 on L925 stock and L920 dev unlock respectively.

whatsapp always delay notification...and i mean it, always.

facebook slow update feature wise. no stickers yet, no option to approve tag/timeline review within app, some page just doesn't show content etc2.
most of the time my wife just use mobile fb on browser since it's more reliable than the official app.


yes, I do make sure the apps on their phone receive latest update whenever available. after all, I'm the one encourage them to try WP and I do keep track of WP progress despite leaving the platform personally few months ago.

Battery saver set to trigger at 20% and no fancy stuff running in background. Maybe I need to elaborate a bit on whatsapp notification. By 'always' I mean every time there's a latest update the app work fine for a while but the problem happen again some time and until now it still happen once in a while. Maybe because you are on group the app activates most of the time so the process always remain in background. In my wife case, she's mostly on WeChat and sometimes (still, few times in a day) on whatsapp.

Don't get me wrong.

I have owned/used/tested several WP devices, ranging from WP7 Mozart to Wp8.1 Cyan 1520 in these past 2 years. whistling.gif


If I don't like WP I won't use it past my first L800 but then I did upgraded several times and recommended it to my friends and family. Aside from notification issue that I experienced with Whatsapp, the fact remain that major apps experience still lacking behind and in my case the priority is on Facebook.
To make it worse, with release of WP8.1 the very smooth and fast experience that has been major selling point for WP in the past are now no longer the case here. Yes, they are still smooth but from my experience comparing side by side quad core snapdragon 800 Lumia 1520 to dual core s4 pro Moto X, I don't find 1520 to be much smoother and faster despite rocking much superior hardware inside.

btw..regards of the whatsapp notification... i mute almost all the group...but when the group i didnt mute it still getting delivered on the dot.....

wechat now quite stable and fast...before the latest update..it was sluggish....now quite stable....


just awaiting telegram to recieve similar major updates on usability and many missing function....



as for fb...i prefer the old wp7.8 style which fully integrated with the os itself...and i have no problem to tag everyone/anyone in my friendlist during picture upload....now with fb app, most of the time when i want to tag certain people, it doesnt show up in tag list while they was in my friendlist (long time friend and some newly added)... so most of the time i just browse fb using mobile site via uc browser....with now photo attach and mention function...so not really a big problem because rarely using fb app....

I got my Nokia 1020 on November 17 2014, second hand and I have got to say. This is the best phone ever!

Forget the gaming apps because I already have an iPad and there is no point gaming on a phone (I don't like the small screen gaming idea), I would definitely buy the next gen of Lumia 1020.

1) The camera is good without a doubt 41mp, it has a good editor if you think its oversaturated and with the upcoming update hopefully it has more features.

2) I admire the GPS app which has free offline map, voice navigation and a reroute function. The GPS stands out from the rest compared to iOS and Android since you need data or is very tedious (even until now I can't find any offline GPS free like this) to set up.

3) No lag, the last time I used a Samsung it was terrible and laggy.

4) Nice looks, pure yellow, great material (whatever it was they used which doesn't feel like plastic)

5) It makes me feel unique since I am surrounded by my classmates or basically everyone who is using Samsung or either Apple phones.

Oh not to mention that I am playing with this phone as if I just got it yesterday!

same here, I still prefer the experience on wp7.8 and 8 since most of the features are built in so most of the time it's a trade off between lacking features and responsiveness; I choose responsiveness every time and can forgive the lack of features.

FYI Here Maps is now available on android and it comes with navigation as well. If I'm not mistaken (last I checked is 2 weeks ago), you need both Here Maps and Here Drive for navigation but on android the navigation is built in Here Maps. So yeah, there lose 1 advantage WP has over android.  whistling.gif

Search the web for HERE Beta, go to this link https://www.here.com/app/en/, open up for google play then it says your device isn't compatible for this version. But now I am downloading a software update which is 99.27mb big so maybe that might be the problem. Will update my status if it works, THANKS biggrin.gif

Android nowadays murah and powerful. I won't consider any of WP as my primary smartphone anymore (unless 1020 proved to be better). Possibly secondary phone itu pun untuk HERE Maps onli..

android now got HERE Map...android murah cannot pakai one, slow and lag...no future update unless u flash rom...

if compare lumia 535 vs lumia 930...the performance almost the same...

by the way, everyone have the choice to buy what phone they want...just choose the you prefer from budget, spec, design...
