Lumia 920 better than iPhone 5

Looks like Nokia should have waited until after the iPhone 5 was released to announce the 920, would have made the 920 look a whole lot better than it already is!

Excerpt from SIG: 
"The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has officially announced the release of Bluetooth Core Specification 4.0, or rather, revealed the adoption of Bluetooth low energy wireless technology for 4.0. The SIG said that the new specs will open an entirely new market that requires low cost and low power connectivity. Now a small, "coin-cell" battery can power Bluetooth devices, ideal for healthcare, security, home entertainment, and other markets.
The formal announcement stated that v4.0 will feature ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption. The technology also features an enhanced range, multi-vendor interoperability, low cost, and the ability to run "for years" on standard coin-cell batteries. The specs also say that the technology supports small data packets transferred at 1 Mbps, 24 bit CRC on all packets, and even provides full AES-128 encryption.
"With today’s announcement the race is on for product designers to be the first to market," said Michael Foley, Ph.D., executive director, Bluetooth SIG. "Bluetooth low energy modules for all sorts of new products may now be qualified – this is an important step towards our goal of enabling new markets with Bluetooth wireless technology. For example, the Continua Health Alliance has already selected Bluetooth low energy technology as a transport for the next version of its guidelines."
The SIG said that the new specs will come in two flavors: dual-mode and single-mode. In dual-mode, Bluetooth low energy functionality is integrated into an existing Classic Bluetooth controller. The single-mode version, ideal for highly integrated and compact devices, uses a lightweight link layer for ultra low power idle mode operation."

  • C7 camera - better than iphone?

    I find my C7 camera rather nice, better than the reviews so say.
    Just wonder what people think - and how does it compare to the iphone camera?

    I think it takes excellent photos myself.
    Regarding the iphone no idea about the quality of camera.People have their own opinions of quality too.

  • Battery gets low as soon as I use my incredible. Verizon worker said this is better than iphone

    my incredible's battery goes low as soon as I start using it. Verizon tech said this was better than an i phone.

    I may have corrected the problem. It took several starts of iTunes, each time navigating to my podcasts and right clicking on 2-3 and unsubscribing from them before it went to 25%, became unresponsive, and required shut down from the task manager.
    As soon as they were all unsub'd, iTunes went silent on CPU usage. The APSDaemon.exe shot up to 25%, but a reboot and a restart has everything quiet. I've accessed the store, played some songs, downloaded one. So far, so good.
    I'll be back here to report any change.

  • Original iPhone Better than iPhone 4?

    I have been using the very original iPhone for years, and upgraded to the iPhone 4 as soon as I could. The day I switched phones I lost all coverage inside my office. I now have the new bumper from Apple, but it's still not even close to the awesome coverage of the original. Any ideas on better bumpers to get or a way to solve this?

    Try switching 3G off and using Edge connection. Since you were using the original iPhone, you were on Edge only and saw that better coverage.
    The minute you switch to iPhone 4, you started using 3G. Your office may not have good 3G coverage there and better coverage on Edge.

  • IPod Video Quality better than iPhone?

    I have most of The Office episodes (from iTunes) on my iPod and iPhone. My iPod is a lot more crisp. It's almost as the iPod is HD and the iPhone isn't.. 100% blurry and the color isn't as good.
    Anyone else see a clear difference?

    Definitely no difference on mine when compared against my iPod Video 30GB. Now there is definitely more noticeable compression artifacts and such because you are blowing up a tiny, heavily compressed, video onto a larger screen. Trying hooking it up to a large HD TV and see how much worse it looks.

  • Why are Ipod Apps better than Iphone Apps?

    There are some really nice apps available to the ipod touch that aren't available to the Iphone. Go search Ipod apps in the Itunes store and you will see what I am talking about. How come the same apps aren't available for both devices?

    oops, they are not on the touch they are for the nano, and reg ipod. Still I am sure there is a way to develope them for the iphone.

  • Lumia 920, screen rotation not working, loosen obj...

    I have pre-ordered the lovely yellow 920 from Telstra Australia, in November, arrived around start of December. It is a fantastic phone to use, however there are several hardware and software issues influencing this experience in a bad way. Anyone have the same experiences with the folloing issues?
    Firstly, I have noticed only in just a few days of using it, the screen can get obvious scratches very easily from normal use without screen protector film. Now, there is a  pattern of many scratches from swipe up to unlock gesture. I though it would be as least do better than iphones
    Secondly, I have noticed what feels like a chunk of loose object inside the phone, as I shake it quickly left and right, which could even be heard, as two hard object in contact with each other. I have no Idea what could that be.
    Thirdly, the screen rotation simply stopped working one day without notice. Tried soft reset a dozen times and even hard reset to factory status did not fix the issue. This get me thinking, it might have been a serious hardware issue, or perhaps the accelorometer/gyroscope was damaged by that loose object inside the phone. However, today, all of a sudden it starts to work again.........Brilliant!.......not...
    Another issue is that it could get Literally Burning Hot on the top right corner(front) of the phone in some circumstances. I understand electronic devices can get warm while operating, my Nokia N8 gets warm during intense operation such as multi-tasking Map, Drive etc, But it never gets to a point when you have to consider whether it is still safe to use or not, sadly, I have to do that with my 920 while video chatting,
    There are even more issue with the software. A few random mornings in the past month, I wake up to a dead 920 on a wireless charging pad, only to be able to recover through soft reset procedure (Volum down + power).  No idea why....
    and sometimes as I accept an incoming call, the phone freezes on that screen. The call still goes through, three buttons are still alight and vibrates, but not functional. Again, only recoveralbe by soft reset.
    Does anyone have the same experiences with these issues?
    No matter what might caused these issues, to have all these occuring within a flagship smartphone, Me as a loyal Nokia fan (3210,6600,6220,3220,6300,N95,N8) is very disappointed.

    I also bought Lumia 920 and had same issue with accelorometer.  I have submitted phone in Nokia care and after 15 days they repired and given back. This happened in june 2013, now i started facing same issues again and my phone also get very hot while charging...... Can anyone advice how to get my device preplaced ???
    thanks.

  • Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

    Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
    Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
    Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
    Which operating system are you familiar with?
    What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
    What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
    Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
    If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
    Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
    You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
    As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
    That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)

  • Is there a way that i can downgrade my iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4 to iOS 6xx? battery life not good, and performance isn't better than iOS 6.. Please apple i am really disappointed with iOS 7 on my iPhone 4

  • HERE Drive Beta with Traffic updates Lumia 920

    Why can't i use Traffic updates in the HERE Drive + Beta..?? How can see the traffic info while using the navigation on my Lumia 920..?? i had this with my Nokia N8... 

    I recently got the update to Here Drive+ Beta and now have Here Drive+ with My Commutes. I think the possiblities are fantastic with the My Commutes feature but so far in the Dallas, TX area whenever I start My Commutes is always says "Couldn't update traffic" I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application but it will not show me any traffic updates during my communte.
    I recently discovered that if I put the app in 2d mode it will show me traffic updates but as soon as I start My Commutes the traffic information disappears.
    Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

  • Is the reception of iPhone 5c better than 5s.

    Was advised at a Telstra store that the reception of the iPhone 5s was worse than that of the 5c. Am thinking of upgrading from 4s.
    Has anyone experienced this?

    Not sure about the 5C but the 5S is hugely worse than the 4S for data. And tethering is a dead loss in poor signal areas where it would work reliably with the 4S.
    However it's not that simple - the 5S voice call performance seems BETTER than the 4S. I did a 45 minute call yesterday during a drive through several known blackspots where my 4S and indeed other non-Apple phones reliably drop the call, and not only did the 5S maintain the call but I didn't even have any dropped audio at all.
    But despite the audio being solid I couldn't get ANY data out of it at all - and yes it was on 3G so should have been able to do voice and data simultaneously.
    So my guess is a serious bug in the firmware or baseband around data handling rather than inherently poorer hardware in the 5S. Or at least that's what I hope as one wouldn't expect a newer phone to be worse than the previous model especially after the bizarre mess of the iPhone 4 and antennagate!
