Is Microsoft Lumia 535 worth it?

Hi I'm from Philippines and I'm planning to buy a Lumia 535 next month... but I'm worried because almost all of the reviews said that it has touch issues and I'm afraid that When I buy I will also get a defective Unit with touch issues too. This is my first Lumia Phone that I'm going to buy and It's the only thing I can afford right now So is it really worth it? Does the touch issues really get fix after the update? please help.. I'm starting to love Lumia phones and I'm starting that love by buying my first Lumia phone called Lumia 535

Thanks for all the replies
Now I'm very determined and confident to buy a Lumia 535 next month.. thanks to all of you

Issue in usability of Microsoft lumia 535 - Behavior of Key '- ' , on bottom right corner of home screen, is ambiguous.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum. And I may have incorrectly raised my concern here - over the usability aspect 'Microsoft lumia 535' mobile phone. Please help - to forward my concern to the correct forum in that case.
I faced issue in using the key '->' on bottom right corner of phone's home screen (scroll down on the home screen to use the key). Clicking the key '->' should ideally take to the screen to it's right where all the applications are listed. As per known
behavior of earlier phones of the lumia series like 630,525 etc.
However, the behavior is ambiguous, sometimes the click on '->' takes to its right screen, and sometimes it refreshes the home screen. And sometimes there is no impact of the click. The behavior is thus improper and provides bad experience in using it.
Earlier I thought this defect is specific to the phone I purchased, but further I analyzed other 'Microsoft lumia 535' - and the same issue was observed in all the other pieces of lumia 535.
Please let me know, if it is issue and is already known, or if the behavior is intentional then what is the reason for the same?
Regards,
Azmun

Skype on Microsoft Lumia 535 freezes and stutters

Hello dear Microsoft, I am really happy with my Microsoft Lumia 535. Great phone, great price. Skype however (which is the prime application) really behaves bad though.It freezes and stutters all the time.For example, to open the app it takes very long. To see my recent contacts takes another 30 seconds or so. To type a message to a contact takes another 30 seconds and while typing it freezes and stutters again.The performance sucks, in short.Are we expecting an update soon? This is a really bad situation, where skype on other platforms runs like a charm, but on MS's own mobile platform, just sucks.... Hope this gets resolved very, very soon! Regards, Sijmen Koffeman

Hi, After I used the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (link:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/phones-and-hardware/recover-my-phone) and restored my phone, Skype is running without any problems.Be advised that you should make a backup of your data and settings if you use that tool. Good luck, Si.

Microsoft Lumia 535 questions

I havent had a new phone for about 10 years so I am way out of it.
can I put music on to the phone directly from my pc like you use to be able to do?
Is cortana on the phone?
On average how long does the battery last?
Thank you

Yes, you can drag and drop from PC to handset, or rather to the microSD card you need to obtain and put in the phone, as you won't fit much on the phone's built-in memory of 8GB, of which half is already taken up by the OS and other required software.
Cortana is currently available in the following countries/regions: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. For info about how to get an early preview version of Cortana in your locale, see Cortana alpha.
How long is a piece of string ? Battery life will depend on your usage and the quality of network coverage in your area. In general you should be able to get at least a full day's worth of battery life.

Lumia 535 not detected in windows 8.1 latest updat...

I just bought a lumia 535 and it will not install with any USB cable i have on my laptop , it has windows 8.1 up to latest update. Windows update doesnt show any updates available also not after reboot.
I downloaded the winusb phone driver from microsoft site and tried to install that manually and still it wont work
This is really a downer, since i expected a windows phone to easily connect to my win 8.1 computer
Even the cheapest android phone does it in an instant!
anyone know a way? else this phone goes back to shop because if i cant connact it i dont want it

Did you get a USB cable with the phone?
Use the USB cable that came with the phone.
Connect the phone to the PC. Turn it all the way off, hold power button and slide the screen down. The phone will turn back on and it will be detected, drivers should load.
If your operating system did not come with Windows Media Player, install the Media Feature Pack for your version of the operating system.

Lumia 535 - All Settings

My girlfriend recently bought me the Lumia 535 from Tesco's Ever since turning it on for the first time I have been unable to go to all settings. From the drop down menu, touching all settings does nothing. Also, in the apps menu (on the right), there is no settings.
For two months I have managed but now it keeps calling people whilst it is in my pocket, as I can't put on a pass code on it.
Do I need to send it back to Tesco or is there an easier solution? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Darren.

Hi, darrensmith0410. You may try restoring the phone to factory default by peforming the buton reset.
Press and hold the Volume down and Power buttons at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 10-15 seconds).
When you feel the vibration, immediately press and hold the Volume down button until you see an exclamation mark.
Once the exclamation mark appears, press the following four buttons in this order: Volume up , Volume down , Power , Volume down . Your phone should now reset and restart itself. (It might take a while for the reset to finish.)
Make sure to create a backup to avoid data loss. If that doesn't work, you can recover the phones's software using the Windows Phone Recovery tool provided here: http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/support/recovery-tool/. Let us know the outcome.

Migrating from Lumia 535 to the Z3!

I am currently using a Lumia 535, and wish to migrate away from it to a BlackBerry Z3.Have a whole lot of contacts (600+ unique entries) stored on their servers (people.live.com) which I would like to import into BlackBerry Z3 and have them synchronized with my BlackBerry ID account.Is there any straight-forward method to perform the migration away from the Lumia and to the Z3? Perhaps via the microSD card!I don't have a PC running Windows nor do I have a Macintosh.

Here is what I can tell you. Others may chime in, or you can fill in the blanks yourself..... I believe from what you say that your contacts are store online and associated with a Microsoft Live (or now, outlook.com) account. When you set up the BlackBerry you will add the Microsoft account, and select to sync contacts. I recommend that you set up the account as EAS. Reference http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33940 (I originally used Live and converted over to outlook.com, but still use the live.com address for email. I started as IMAP and switched to EAS. But I don't sync contacts and calendar, hence the lack of detail in my post. But you will figure it out. From others I know it works like a charm.)
