***The Official Nokia Lumia 920 Thread***

Saw one of these for £139.99 from tesco on hotukdeals using some codes if your after one its an ace deal

Ignore its sold out.

Ah thats a shame, might have a look see if I can get a good deal though. Forgot about hotukdeals.

I did the opposite sort of, 925 to Nexus 5.
Phone is great, OS is fantastic. Just let down by lack of app support

I'm not too worried about lack of app support at the minute as the only apps I use on my android is reddit, browser, paypal, sms and emails.

It looks as if the Tesco ones are unavailable at the moment, but one chap on eBay (in Bolton) with over 300 positive 100% feedback is offering a brand new sealed one for £185.95 + £8.75 postage, although there are probably better deals to be had.

 

[Murray]

Can get a simfree one from Tesco for £179. Not as good at £139 but ain't too bad.

Anyone randomly lost all their contacts?

Where all there this morning, then this afternoon 3/4 of them just gone, phone wont sync them back, reset it and still no joy. At a bit of a loss tbh.

This Cortana update looks good !

When does 8.1 drop in the wild?

When does 8.1 drop in the wild?

How longs piece of string.

I would imagine operators will get it soon, then they'll have it for a month or two before releasing their versions.

Im going to pull 2 months out of thin air.

 

[Mr Jones]

Knowing EE, I'm gonna hedge a bet we'll get it just before Christmas.

How longs piece of string.

Twice as long as half of it.

Initial findings after a day with 8.1:

Action centre is excellent as it has easy shortcut goggles for Bluetooth etc and shows u the battery percentage.
I like wordflow although it does take a bit of getting used to in order to make texting faster.
Love the new screen background/transparent tiles.
My 920 seems a bit more nippy.
Xbox music has lost the podcast menu option so I guess I'll go back to using podcast lounge.
A few other little bits and pieces like separate ringtone and media volumes are a welcome addition.
Really like it so far.

Apparently there is a update due shortly for Xbox Music.

 

[Mr Jones]

Podcast is now an app... Separated from Music Hub.

Really hope they sort out music, app is slow and no longer useful.

Asking Cortana to play what I want is quicker!

The version we got of 8.1 is missing s few things, the biggest to mote is that the music player is actually the old default beta version they used with each dev preview, its not the final version, just like Cortland and various other nits and pieces are actually still in beta.

Isn't that a 1520 with that tile arrangement?

 

[Glaucus]

Isn't that a 1520 with that tile arrangement?

On 8.1 you can enable three columns in any phone.

 

[Brenn47]

No, my 920. Loving 8.1.

How many people have issues with the video recording on the 920 hitching? I've tried setting it to 720p and closing all other programs before I start to record but the issue still persists, more noticeable if I'm recording anything with music in it the recorded video will lurch forward an instant (usually numerous times the longer the video is) but since its music its very noticeable. Bloody annoying.

 

[Gerard]

Just an update to the post above, making the camera button activate the nokia pro cam app seems to have fixed it, though if I go back to the basic video recorder it still occurs.
