Lumia Comparisons

Hi Experts & Nokia Lovers,
I did my research and comparison of Lumia 710 with the following:
1) Samsung Galaxy S Duos
2) HTC Desire X
3) HTC One V
4) HTC Desire V
5) Sony Xperios Go / U
Lumia beats the above in most of the things except for two main points
1) battery is very low - so do i have to carry a portable charger always? not looking good.
does anyone can tell if atleast - althougth batt power is low, does it get charge Faster??
2) 710 doesnt seem to support Adobe Flash.
these are the main points that would bother for an average user
please comments
best Regards

Not really sure what by "battery is very low". It is not always right just to compare just the battery capacity as different phones and operating systems have defferent battery demands. What I will say is in my experience with the 710, the battery lasted me 2-3 days, which is the norm for me regardless of phone I use, with the exception of 2 HTC's, which I had to charge every night. If you have a problem with the battery life of the 710 then you are just as likely to have the same problem with any of the others on your list.
The charging rate is the same for any given charger of a specific output rating so in theory the smaller the battery capacity, the faster it should charge, with the same charger.
It is not that the Lumia does not suport Flash. The actual situation is Adobe themselves have stopped develoment work on Flash. They are no longer developing Flash for new platforms and platforms updates. The same will apply to the updates to Android post V4.3 I think it is. Flash is effectively obsolete and replaced by HTML5. Soon no new phone with the latest OS versions will have Flash support.

The most systematic analysis of Lumia 800 battery ...

Hi, don’t mean to be arrogant, but I’ve read many threads, forums, posts etc. There are tons of info, someone tried a table, etc. but no one has attempted to summarise the relevant parameters. So here goes:
1.     I have a Cyan 800, bought locked at “3” UK, then unlocked. It’s beautiful and makes iApple UI look, well, jurassic or geriatric in comparison. The screen is so beautiful that I switched the thing on just to marvel at the ease of reading the glorious white on black (real black, not grey) and I am smitten by the ascetic aesthetics of the UI that put function over form (I simply can't stomach the saccharine animation of Apple, it is an eye candy for a while, then becomes bothersome, at least to me.
2.     Initially, I noticed that the battery life was not great, but it did not seem disastrous, and I read all the gleeful Apple worshipping media trying to fan the battery issue, but I thought that it was a storm in a tea cup and just the usual attempt to put-down any competition to Apple.
3.     Until a couple of days ago I noticed that I have less than ½ charge after only a few hours off the charger without really doing almost anything.
4.     I panicked, read as much I could the forums, etc. (including probably the most technical – XDA-Forums) but got there only one real advice, the “diagnostics” mode (dial ##634# - I also downloaded an App (called Diagnostics) that does bring you straight to the relevant page without the need to “dial” the ##634#).
5.     I then tried to see what was draining the battery, I stopped 3G connection and “presto”, the drainage stopped and I thought that I resolved the problem (at least for me, there were clearly problems with a certain hardware code, see below).
6.     For one day, the battery was very durable. Even though I had some reasonable With-Fi browsing and calls (GSM, not 3G), there was more than a 1/3rd of the battery left after about 20 hours of the last charge.
7.     Then, today, the morning began very well (in terms of the battery), it was losing less than a few percentage points every hour. I used it for light browsing and a bit of Bluetooth listening. Them my 7-yr old played some X-Box games for a bit, but the battery was way above 2/3rds. I then noticed that the phone was warm even though it was not on. Initially, I thought that it was warm because it was on my body, but then I noticed very fast fall in the battery level. Check:
a.      the 3G again, no it is still off
b.     wi-fi and Bluetooth off
c.      I even checked what Apps were in the background (though I know that it is NOT draining)
d.     - nothing helps, the drainage was high, even when the phone was closed (i.e., not used).
8.     There was nothing I could do, until I shut the phone down completely and switched it on again. Then, the drainage returned to the “good” level, i.e., a few percentage points per hour.
9.     So bottom line, I think that there was something going-on “in the background (that is why the device was warm even when closed) – the problem is that this seems to be intermittent/random and very difficult to put the finger on what causes this problem. I hope that Nokia resolves this problem and not only the “low” battery capacity (see below) that Nokia acknowledged.
So after this long intro, what do I see as the “hard-points” here? The most important parameters for the story seem to be in the following screens:
1.     “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen;
2.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, have to press the “more information” button;
3.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen;
4.     The battery icon and its remaining capacity representation on the main screen.
The “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen:
It seems to contain the following info:
·       “Charged” – seems to display ALWAYS the figure “65535%”;
·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts
·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.
·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing different figures for different people, usually between slightly above 900 mAh (i.e., milli-Amper-hours) and slightly above 1,500 mAh. Although in this should logically be a fixed-for-ever, or at least in the short term level, the figure seems to fluctuate slightly, see below for more detail.
·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – clearly the most important parameter, showing the remaining mAh in the battery. Although in theory, the level immediately after long charge should be equal or very near the “Full Charge Capacity”, in practice, it almost never is (remember, I take this not only from my case, but also from numerous reports that I got from the various forums), see below for more detail.
The “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, the relevant info items:
·       OS version – it seems that the latest one (as of late dec 2011) should include “7740” in it. apparently, Nokia promised some respite from the battery bugs in this “7740” update, but from what I read in the forums, there was absolutely no difference.
·       Firmware revision number – interestingly, the firmware revision number includes “7720”, though I am not sure what it means.
·       Hardware revision number – this ends up with “xxx.3” or “xxx.4” – as below, I wonder if this is a different OEM factories designation, but it seems to me that it is the “xxx.4” that has one type of problem (low “Full Charge Capacity” of under 1,000 mAh).
The “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen – what is relevant for us is under the “battery information” – you must unplug the phone from charger to see three lines:
·       “Remaining battery life”: supposed to be between 0 and 100% of course (though in this context, calling it “remaining battery life” is misleading, or at least inconsistent with the “remaining charge capacity” of “Battery Status” screen. Perhaps it would be better to call this “remaining charge”
·       “Estimated time remaining” – measured in hours, in my case, it is always under 15 houts. There is no explanation what it means, I would guess that this is “how many hours will your phone work in stand-by mode”, but then it is way way below what Nokia said – measured in hundreds of hours.
·       “Time since last charge – measured in hours.
So below I summarise my findings, but first, my unit parameters:
Color: Cyan (does not seem to make any difference to people out there – problems “cross” colours;
OS: “7.10.7740.16”
Firmware: 1600.2475.7720.11414
Hardware: 112.1402.2.3
So, in MY case:
1.     “Battery Status” screen:
·       “Charged” – seems to ALWAYS display the figure “65535%”, like all others on the forums. This must be some kind of mistake because it does not change or update and makes no sense, now that we are in this so deep, I hope that Nokia explains what the hell this means, if at all;
·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts. When the battery is low, the voltage seems also to fall below 4.0;
·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA. When the battery “plays nice”, i.e., there is no “problem”, this figure is under 150 ma, usually going seesaw between 140 and 155. When 3G is on, it is above 250 towards 270 mA
·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing for me usually above 1,500, constantly changes, though less frequently then other figures in this screen. Strangely I noticed that when it is cold (I was jogging and it was in an external pocket with about 7C outside), this number went lower, under 1,500. Perhaps the battery when colder can hold less charge? Nokia should explain. I think that in case of Hadware versions that end in “x.4” the maximum in this parameter is reported under 1,000.
·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – in my unit this never reaches the “Full Charge Capacity” (which is usually slightly above 1,500 mAh), it stops below 1,350 mAh.
2.     “Battery Saver Screen” and the battery icon on the main screen:
In my case, because the “Remaining” charge never reaches close to the “Full Charge”, when I disconnect the phone from charger, I get straight that “Remaining Battery Life” is “94%” (1350/1500 or so) – and the icon is never 100% “full”, rather “almost” full. “Estimated time remaining” never really above 15 hrs.
So, there seem to be (at least) two major issues/problems in relation to battery/working-time:
1.     Firmware revision (probably) “x.4” may have a faulty battery that would not charge above 1,000 mAh (950 mAh is mentioned by many, or about 1/3rd less than intended by Nokia (unless it is a software bug, which will be huge relief for all, especially for nokia);
2.     Firmware revision “x.3” may have escaped the “crippled” battery of revision “x.4” guys, but from time to time it can lose battery charge at least 2 times faster than otherwise, most likely due to some background processes that can be felt as the device becomes warm even when not switched on (i.e., in stand-by mode). This seems to be intermittent or random and can be stopped by powering-down the phone and then powering-up again.
3.     In all cases, the claim that the phone can be several days in sand-by mode, must be wrong and Nokia must address and explain this.
So in summary, at least in respect of battery, there is a mess. Will be interesting if some people with other WP7 devices can chip-in and say whether it is similar in their cases, but Nokia should be open and explain and even admit mistakes, I hope that this can be rectified by software, or at least it is not a “terminal” complication for Lumia 800, which is a beautiful device.

I would like to thank all the people here who have taken the time to put all this info together for us all and hope it is of help to the folks who are having trouble with battery life. I'm not doing to bad on battery life myself as it always last me though the working part of the day when I don’t have access to a charger and I will soon be updating my car cradle to take the Lumia so will have access to a charger though the day to. Personally I have come from the N900 and that phone also had some battery issues when it first came out which where pretty much sorted over time, as for manufactures claims on battery life, I always read these figures the same way I would read expected miles per gallon that car manufactures put out, meaning that there would only be a very select few that would ever get what the manufactures say you can get the rest of us will all get a very wide variation on these figures. I know that Nokia have acknowledged that there is an issue with battery life and not all of us have this issue, at this moment in time I'm not to unhappy with the battery life, but if it improves then I will be pleased. From all the posts I have read on this site it does seem that some people do read manufactures specifications as if there are set in stone, I'm not criticizing anyone here would just like to say that they are trying to sell you something so have a good look at the figures and maybe check them with other independent sources if at all possible. My only disappointment really is that we have to rely on other people and not Nokia themselves to let us know what’s going on, I wish the manufacture would be more open and quicker to let us know what’s going on and what they are doing to sort out problems and some sort of time frame that we could expect something to come out to fix a problem. I know bugs can me very difficult to find and ever more difficult to fix sometimes but if Nokia put out a weekly report about how things where going on bug fixes or forth coming updates it would help everyone in deciding where they are going with their chosen product.
Again many thanks to all the people helping us all out and wish you all a happy bug free new year.

Lumia 920 pre & post processing of pics after Ambe...

Hey folks, im starting this thread in order to grab more attention from Nokia. As they are already aware of the yellowish tint in photos since the amber update, I wanna just add something extra. I have attached 2 sample images of pictures below. Both photos were shot at ISO3200 to really show what this phone is capable of. Each picture will come with a before processing happens and after. Not only can you tell theres a yellowish tint in the post processing pics, but you can also see severe noise reduction. Sure, ISO3200 is a bit on a smartphone, but take a close look at the pics before the processing happens and tell me that isn't a amazing picture at ISO3200. White balance is spot on, and sharpness is excellent. Im sorry, but the aggressive noise reduction Nokia applies is not needed on this phone. Nokia I think most people buy these lumia 920 and 1020 phones based on cameras. I think most people can agree that while we may not ask you to remove your noise reduction settings, but rather add an option for us users who would like to skip out on the post processing that happens. You can clearly see in the before and after pics below how amazing an ISO3200 shot from this phone is.....let us have it please!!!

Lumia 720 camera gets bad after updating to Amber?...

Hi guys,
I got the Amber Update for my 720 last night. It's a nice little update, except the camera seems to perform worse. The images always seems to be washed out and more blurry. in low light it takes (much) brighter photos, but also a lot noisier and blurry. And the images always seems to have an awful green colour tint. I'm a bit annoyed right now . Anyone else experience this on their lumia?
I attached two photos for reference. One is taken before the update, and the other one is taken after it.

the two images you posted definitely show worse image after update :/
aside from increasing my average battery consumpution on standby, the amber did not affect the quality of my camera / fotos. i have no foto comparison for before n after, but with my overall experience in photography, id say the amber update somewhat improved the camera's low light performance, notwithstanding grain ofcourse.
colors seem to still be acceptable. i think nokia has been able to improve their post processing software along with the update (as far as my experience is concerned).
maybe a factory reset n re-install of the update would help. but before you do that, try to think really hard if you were in the right camera settings / using 'lenses' or other camera apps, etc.
note : always backup your data before wiping the os

Lumia 925 camera

Hi. I bought a new phone. When I start taking pictures, I quickly find out that something is wrong. All pictures look like they are out of focus on top left side. When I send phone to service, they say nothing is wrong. They said that all Lumia 925 are making the same photos. Can anybody send me your pictures, taken with Lumia 925 for comparison and to have proof they are wrong. If any of the people from Nokia are reading this, I also post 3 photos taken with my phone.
I also search for possible problems that make this affect. Angled lens make similar affect. If you whant more details, contact me.
From such a product like Nokia Lumia I didn't expect such a problem.

How are you taking the photos , physical camera button, onscreen camera button or touch to focus and take ? The only one that looks to be 'out of focus' is the third one , which actually looks more blown out due to the light source. All the photos look to be focussed perfectly in the centre in each case. I honestly don't know if there is a fault with your phone, but as you have already had the phone checked I just wonder if there is anything you may be doing inadvertantly that is affecting the result ?
Also which camera app are you using, you don't by any chance use the standard camera app and have the default set at close up ? As I say I really don't know the cause of your issue but if it has been checked I am just trying to think of possible reasons . You can of course try Nokia Care again.
Good Luck

Lumia 1520's camera

Hi. I just bought the Lumia 1520. I'm from the Philippines. After turning it on I went to the main camera to check out the 20mp camera.i was a bit disappointed because the camera was noisy and yes I used both the native app and the Nokia pro camera. Comparing it with my old Lumia 920, the 920 had less noise, and it even took better pictures on low light. Do I have a defected phone? I went back to the store to take a comparison with the same unit which is the 1520 and yes both cameras were noisy. Is this has something to do with the software or my phone has a defect??

Hi jassp041087,
Welcome to the forum!
Do you also see the same image quality when viewing the photos using a PC? Check this link for some tips on how to take photos using your Lumia 1520: Nokia Lumia 1520 - Nokia Pro Camera tips Though your phone is brand new, make sure that it's running the lates software version. You may verify it by going to Settings > Phone update.
Let us know if this information helped you.

Hi, i am a new member to the lumia 800 family, had a Nokia N8 prior to this and the audio quality on N* was phenominal. Lumia 800 however is a better overall device, but one flaw(major flaw). The audio quality on this phone is terrible even after the latest update. Just for comparison, I used my mom's N73 to compare the audio. I used my Image S4's on N73 via a 3.5 m adapter and not to my surprise, the quality was much better than this recent Lumia phone. I am pretty much sure that its a software issue. I was listening to slacker radio the oher day and the bass on my particular song was pretty impressive on 800, dont know how though. To finish this off, I feel Nokia is gaining groung with their Lumia family but they really need no address these issues real quick or lose their momentum and perish

Lumia 822 lacks good ereader and camera sucks

Lumia 822 lacks decent app to enjoy books and magazines and camera sucks
I bought the Nokia Lumia 822 because it allowed use of a micro SD card which would expand available memory and because it came with Office. I have been happy with the SD card capability (although today I had to reseat the SD card because the card doesn’t snap into place, it just kind of sits there – I ended up losing all my photos from March 2013, but, hey, at least the majority were there). Office is functional though I wouldn’t be able to do major spreadsheets in it. I also had to send back my original phone for a refurbished phone when it crashed about a week after that major update. I wasn't happy about receiving a refurbished phone, considering what a personal item a cellphone is.
While I knew apps were a limitation being on the bleeding edge of technology, I assumed they would emerge soon enough and was willing to wait. I bought the phone in November 2012 and as of today (April 2013), there still is no decent app with which to buy books and magazines. This is a major bummer.
As an amateur photographer, I find the Nokia Lumia 822 Windows Phone camera incredibly disappointing on its own and particularly with respect to the iPhone 5. This is in stark contrast to Nokia’s assertion that they will set themselves apart with their cameras and comes after a February (or March?) 2013 update that was supposed to fix the camera’s color issues. It previously had a green tint, which improved with the update but the color is still not great. Just to note up front, I am not an Apple fanboi by any stretch, preferring the Microsoft Surface as opposed to the iPad3 (both of which I have owned).
The Lumia 822 camera takes forever to focus and shoot once you’ve hit the screen. If you instead choose to shoot using the camera button, you have to press so hard that the phone inevitably shakes. The pictures come out blurry with washed out colors no matter what you do. Taking the same shot with the iPhone 5, it shoots quickly and comes out crystal clear, with vibrant colors. I have noticed that the largest photo size on the Lumia 822 is like 2 MB, while it is over 4 MB on the iPhone 5.
Today, when I tried to send some photos from my brother’s iPhone 5 to the Lumia 822, I noticed that Apple provided 3 choices – the original photo size, which was like 4.5 MB, a medium photo size and a small photo size. Such choices are not available on the Lumia 822. In any case, I chose the original size of 4.5 MB and when I received the photo on the Lumia 822 chose Save to Phone. Yet when I forwarded my mom that same photo from my Lumia 822, it sent as 850 KB. I don’t know how to see the size of the photo that was saved on my phone but I’m guessing it wasn’t 4.5 MB for whatever reason.
I had been psyched about the upcoming Lumia that was a 41 megapixel camera but now I even have doubts about that.
I actually bought Nokia stock, some at $3.56 and some at $4.58, but I’m starting to regret it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think you should have picked 920 instead of 822, I believe their new release 720 has better camera than 820/822.
I bought 920 for my brother as present, he is a good man and always wanted to upgrade his old phone to smartphone era.. Anyways, 920 felt superb, camera seemed quality wise similar to my Iphone 4s, which was excellent camera for smartphone, but it also added OIS and some nifty photolenses, like that animation edit thing and excellent other features that made my own Iphone pale in comparison.
As what comes to me, I bought Nokia 808 over 920 which I now regret. Quality wise 808 is WAYYY superior even to my Sony Alpha 300 SLR with basic lens. I still cannot believe how sharp and realistic images I get. Add excellent video recording and that lossless zoom, I absolutely love it. But as compared into Iphone as a phone and portable media device Nokia Pureview 808 is so bad! Browsing internet is worse, watching videos is worse, settings are mess up.. Its usable but I would give it an poor grade as a SMARTPHONE, as this tiny camera; Superior.
920 would have given me Excellent camera with all the other great sh*t Nokia offers nowadays.
I am waiting 920 + 808 combo Lumia with 41Mpx lossless zoom and OIS, with water proof and solar energy!

A tribute to Nokia Lumia

I came to this forum after four years I bought a nokia smartphone.first one was nokia N8. I had it for two years and then I bought Nokia Lumia 920. I had it for two years and i came here just to give a tribute to Nokia because I think It deserve it.
I never ever came to the forum means I never had a problem with my nokia phones. I have used my Lumia 920 to its extreme. had always youtube switched on whole night with 3g everyday. 20 hours on weekend. not to mention how many times my kids have thrown it on to floor. one time even from the gallery down to road. but my lumia never stops. pictures I take from my Lumia are far better than my system camera. its easy to share stuff and yes its very simple to use.
I thought to give a tribute to Nokia after four years. the reason that broght me here was that I buy an Xperia Z2. and start having problem from opening the box and even the screen selfcrack after twodays. and I had to search for their forum straight away after buying phone. I switched back to my lumia and I love it even more. Hats off to Nokia Lumia 920 and N8. it is no doubt the best I ever had

well thanks for the suggestion. my point of view was your nokia mobile works through out its life. no matter if its a high end phone or a cheaper model. like 700 series you mention. I think you get what you have paid for. you cannot have everything in 700s that you have in 900s because of the price you have paid for it. if a comparison needs to be made with other brands. I have used all iphones and galaxies. iphone is just too much boring, it is having the same thing over and over again in new packaging. same is in galaxies though galaxy is having a new innovation but overall its the same. while in nokia its all new like switch from N8 to N9 its a switch from symbian to Meego and from N9 to Lumia it is a switch from meego to Windows. So what you find here is a real change in nokia phones.
email sync is the best. you took some pictures and they are uploaded to one drive direct. you recieve an email with office files in attachment. it goes to office. well the best features in nokia phones is the nokia drive. samsung and iphone just do not meet that level of nokia drive. most adresses in the country side just do not find in the otherphones. while your nokia take you there for sure. it could even work in offline mode.
the reason for writing the actuall post was I knew what treatment my lumia has got in its two year life but it still work as it was new. falling is definately not a problem for it. but the last time when i put the phone into the shelf was when my son put a glass of juice onto it. I switched it off. it do not had any problem but when i put it onto charging it was probably short and the plastic film around the charging pin started to melt. when i noticed i take the charger out but while taking out the charger it takes out the pin as well and could not be charged by pin. I thought its the end of this phone. but when i had to use it again I try charging it with Qi charger and you know what it actually works without problem. yes I am telling that my lumia was short by an accidentaly droping into juice and then during charging and its still working without problem. anyone have a doubt could ask me for picture for the melted body around charging pin due to short circuit.

Auto white balance Lumia 920 instable while filmin...

Hello there,
Did anyone else have the effect that the Lumia 920 is changing whitebalance constantly when filming a normal outdoor scene ? I tested the phone with default settings yesterday (clouded springday) and the colors were constantly going form blue-ish to warm and back in a 1 minute testfilm...is that normal for this device?

Lumia 920 can take sharp pictures with an app

I have been thinking what to do with my brand new Lumia 920 because I am dissapointed with picture quality. They are simply not sharp, and I am not talking only daylight or night pictures. In my case MOST of the pictures are not sharp. However all Macro pictureas are sharp, and one of a hundred both daylight and low light ARE sharp.
My previous phone is Nokia N8 and wife have Iphone 4s so I know what to expect from a phone.
I have dowloaded app called Camera Easy and that app simply take SHARP pictures.
Here are two comparison, two sharp are of course taken with Camera Easy app, and two not so sharp pictures are taken with default Nokia Lumia 920 software. ( I have bought Camera Pro as well, but pictures have same quality as Nokia Lumia 920 default software, not sharp).
However there is one bug in Camera Easy app, it can save images in own folder somewhere on Lumia 920, but they are not listed on camera roll or albums???
(reason why I am covering my eye is because I took over hundred of pictures and looking in flash light that many times will hurt my eyes.... so some protection )
NOKIA, dowload this app and learn how to do things correctly

Lumia 800 praise and problems

Hello and thanks for reading.
Ive had the lumia for a few days and most of my phones have been Nokias in the past as I prefur the ease of use with them......untill now
I will admit this phone looks and feels very slick, it works very quickly with little lag, simplistic menus and sharp screen...But....
this phone will amaze anyone with the things it CAN do, but also the things it CANT do.
It seems I cannot rename videos or pictures unless I wire it up to the laptop/computer and mess around in Zume (Conzume I will call it) it syncs the phone but I want to upload to youtube as I have a channel on there but this Zume programme wont let me copy and paste to my hard drive. Its a windows phone so why cant it act like windows lol I cant drag and drop to my computer and if I try to upload to utube it wont find zume only other hard drives.
My last phone was the N95 8GB and that will let you do what you like when you connect it with a USB.
I cant Edit videos on the phone either?
I see someone else has mentioned it wont connet by bluetooth to ANYTHING..I mean other slightly older Nokias which I cant believe I tried to send all my old videos and pics from my N95 to the lumia but says its not supported????? Unbelieveable!
Please tell me Nokia will sort this as its a major let down as its so simple.
I know it wants to share everything I do but if I wanted that Id call a Newspaper
Can someone please explain the "cloud" to me as It seems its storing your videos and pics to then pay for when you want to watch them as your using mobile internet all the time?

My beefs with this phone include
It's a windows phone, why won't it sync directly with Outlook. Most other smartphones do for heavens sake. I had to spend ages mucking about with 'Outlook connector' & syncing all my stuff to my hotmail account before I could get it onto my phone. Not straight forward & most frustrating.
Why was it that when I updated my phone with the latest firmware to improve the battery life it actually got worse. It wasn't until I did a hard reset that the battery improved. Fine except I had to set the phone up from scratch again. Not impressed & if I have to hard reset the phone every time there's a software update I won't be getting another Nokia. (I was saving up to get a 900 when it comes out).
It's now dead. As of two days ago it won't switch on. I've thrown everything at it without any joy & the Nokia Care Centre have now sent it back to Nokia.
I paid out money for a game I'd previously had for free on my Android phone (Frozen Bubble). Only thing is, when I got to play it I realised that it was a mere shadow of the game I'd played on my old HTC Desire. The graphics were poo by comparison & the physics of the game were poorer too. What's going on? Not the fault of the Lumia I know but it all adds to my current dissatisfaction with the Windows Phone/Lumia experience.
Why does everything have to be done through Zune. I'd love to be able to just transfer stuff across to & from the phone with windows. It's an unnecessary restriction.
There have been many other niggles with this phone since I got it & a lot of them I can not currently remember, but the overall feeling is one of restriction. It seems it's their way or the highway. I'd always avoided going for an Iphone due to the lack of freedoms of that system, but it looks like I've inadvertently ended up with something very similar.
On a final note I'd like to say this is one of the finest, if not THE finest looking phone on the market today. I've wanted one ever since I saw it's initial incarnation as the N9. In fact I think I'd have been happier with an N9 if only they'd had the balls to distribute it in this country. However, when the Lumia IS working it's as smooth as silk & a joy to behold. I'm hoping that when I get it back, a lot of these woes will be behind me & I can get back to my initial love affair with it. If Nokia and Microsoft can iron out the problems then this phone & the forthcoming 900 will put them back on the map. My fear is that if they don't get a grip soon, it could be too late.

Lumia 930 OIS problem (i think)

HI. I just got a Lumia 930. and I am so confused if I have a defective camera module as I cannot feel any stability on all my videos
https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=397124370450210&set=vb.100004579509539&type=2&theater
also, is it normal that if I tilt the phone while the camera is on, the camera lens also moves even while in still mode?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your video looks fine to me too. OIS can not do miracles, it helps to correct the small shakes when trying to hold the phone steady. For comparison, the link is to a video recorded on my Nokia N8, that has no mechanical or optical correction - and I try to hold and move the phone as steady as possible:

The OIS also works for still images, so the lens will move when the camera is moved.
I think you should be happy with the purchase.

Nokia Lumia 710 Dropping Calls

My lumia 710 seems to randomly drop calls for no particular reason, even when I have full bars on my signal, I did read someware on the Internet that its happened to others with the Lumia 710 and there
is a fix being worked on for this problem.
Just wondering if any of you guys have any info on this problem being software related or could it
be a hardware problem?

I've had the 710 for about 3 weeks now and found the signal to be poor compared to my N8 and the 5230.
I live in an area which isn' great for signal.
LG and HTC phones can't even pick up a 3G signal. The Blackberry I had about 2 years ago could get 3G intermittently.
This is why i returned to Nokia - purely for the signal. I first had the 5230 which had a full 3G and 2G signal, then the N8 which was almost as good, but the 710's signal is very poor by comparison - typically between 1 to 3 bars on 3G, sometimes switching to 2G giving about half to 3/4 signal. The problem this is causing is short drop-outs (can't hear the caller for about a second) about every 30 seconds so I'm constantly having to ask people to repeat themselves. I run my own business and this is what the phone is mostly used for - I feel it's very unprofessional to keep saying 'what' or 'could you repeat that' several times per call (it's also annoying).
Could anyone tell me if the 800 has a better signal because I don't mind buying one and selling the 710 if that's the case.
If that's not the case then I'll have to either go back to the N8 or get a SE (SE are the only phones I found that seem to get close to Nokia N8/5230 signal). I don't like Sony and I don't like android but I can'tput up with this poor signal on the 710.

Lumia 928 "Soft-White" display color: Dull compare...

I was showing my 928 to a friend who has an Apple 5s and the difference in display quality was dramatic. The "White" background on the 928 was dull in comparison. It became painfully obvious when comparing Kindle, the Apple was truly page-white while the lumia as a dull slightly yellow off-white. I had the color turned all the way to "Cool" and it was still no where near as sharp or brilliant as the Apple.
I also compared it to a white-balance card and the "white" background is simply NOT WHITE
I thought the Nokia displays were supposed to be State of the Art, am I missing something here or is there something wrong with my 928
Has anyone else made this comparison???

hi mate, if you believe that the screen is too yellow then you can take your phone to Nokia Care for inspection.
