Nokia Lumia |OT| Worth the Weight

Orange would have been my goto...
Question for those with one: Do your text tones occasionally crackle randomly (any volume)? When I get a text the default tone will sometimes just crackle mid-chime. I can also replicate it when I goto sounds and just play the "message" tones myself.

Street name will use text to speech to announce the street names. It sounds kinda robotic.
Recorded sounds more natural, but no street names.
No, sounds like you have busted speakers. When you play music out of them how does it sound?
music sounds fine. even sounds crisp and nice at 29-30
just the initial microsecond of every other text sound here and there will crackle.
Oh, I've been waiting for that review. LOL at his Shirt.

But it's not PureView, because it doesn't have a 41MP sensor. Lets all wait for the true PureView Windows Phone!

Hope so..
The pureview 808 is complete garbage of a phone.
It kept crashing on me when im at a low signal locations, so if your taking a video and the signal is low, there a chance it will crash and not save the video that you recorded. Nokia knows thjs issues but they have no fix.
The camera is top tier for a smartphone though....

Indeed, it was funny to see that.
It turned off, then after trying to turn it on twice (and getting the empty battery image) it turned on and i got what the screenshot shows.
Its more likely that the battery came awfully calibrated.
Now, i woke up and this is what i got after unplugging it:
Not bad.
Haven't seen many shots detailing all the menus so I'm wondering, when you change the background color to white, does it apply to the menus as well, such as the contacts tab? It'd look pretty slick methinks.
I'm baffled at the fact that you guys use the black background setting
Edit: Lemonte, if you want to stay true to your name, pick the yellow

Black saves batttery
I'm willing to sacrifice battery for white. 'sides, the battery's bound to be at least twice as good as my current phone anyway. My biggest problem now is deciding which tile colour to use
. One of 'em has to go especially well with the yellow shell!(That's a lie, my biggest problem right now is the fact that I wont get the phone for another 2 weeks and that I can't stop thinking about it)

Windows Phone 8 |OT| The story of Apollo 13
I know that I'm running out of time and I already delayed it about ... 5 times, I think, but it's currently in testing. To be honest, it's not even that great. Sorry. I already had to cut some features, but they'll be implemented later in an update.
This weekend. Promised.
Aw, it's alright. <3
Just release the TDK already.
Why does it say Carl Zeiss?
Because it uses Carl Zeiss's supposedly high tech lenses.

Ask in the 8X OT: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=498769
Also:
3 hours, 19 mins later after that last screenshot, still 100%. wow. Long standby indeed. (I have full LTE signal in my area)
This doesn't have an OLED screen

It may be minimal, but its there.
That's because there are still many CRTs in use.

Basically how to use your 920 as a hammer.

No real use for a screen protector then, eh?
The fact that you still had to ask just underlines how much people are unwilling to part with their screen protectors.

I didn't know the 8X had an OT.

Does the Crackle app crash anyone else's 920?

My night photos come out crappy. Does there have to be some kind of light in the area or can it pitch black?
My 920 already has a scratch on its screen.
The fact that you still had to ask just underlines how much people are unwilling to part with their screen protectors.
I haven't ever used a screen protector, always thinking "What's the point, they say it's scratch resistant!"
My 3GS? Got scratched from being in my pocket. Also screen cracked after 2 drops lol. (Interesting how it's usually iPhone users with cracked screens.)
My Xperia Arc? Totally scratch resistant! (My most scratched up phone ever, with some pretty deep scratches to boot)
So I'm just wondering whether I should finally invest in a screen protector of some sort, because quite honestly, the 920 is going to be the sexiest phone I ever owned and I want that baby to look fine all the time.
That's enough for me. How the shit can keys and knifes dont dent the thing but regular use does? Is it microscopic pieces of crap that scratch the screens?
Oh right, I remember reading about this before now
. The question is how problematic it's going to be to apply a screen protector on the curved glassLooks like I'm switching to white since online is out of blue, stores don't have it and I have to switch by next Saturday because of the return policy. Not killing me since white is great looking and the screen theme works better with all the colors.
I noticed that the free nokia charger site went live today but it looks like it isn't available to US? It says my IMEI is incorrect?

Seriously, y'all: multiple discharge cycles do wonders for this phone's battery. I let it discharge the first night I got it and was happy with the battery life, because it was at least longer than my 900's, but it was inconsistent. I did another cycle last night.
Been using it for an hour (checked emails, responded to multiple texts, listened to a podcast for ~20 mins) and its still at 99%, whereas yesterday at this time it had dropped to 94% with less use.
To be fair, Zune would do this to me. It always matched Lucero:
with "Lucero":
Even when I downloaded directly from the Zune marketplace.
As was posted, sand is the enemy. My 900's screen was pretty pristine...until I took it to the beach. Multiple scratches on the screen now.

The Music app is still pretty horrible with recognizing albums right now. I've submitted some of my mis-matched songs directly to the team and they've acknowledges some issues they're still working through.
I was so convinced that my music files were bad, because of the mismatches, that I actually used my iTunes Match account to download the high-quality, prestine versions of my music straight from iTunes, fully tagged and all by iTunes, to try to get them to show up better. Didn't help. Still mis-matching things.
My favorite example: One of my Devin Townsend albums is matching to this:
I seriously don't fucking get it.

if it is pitch black then you just get screen of blackness. It's a lowlight camera not night vision camera. For complete darkness, flash on the phone work great unlike most other smartphone camera.
Also Make sure you hold the phone until photo pop up on the screen when you take night time photo.

So, the fact that after a full discharge-recharge my phone says 1 day 3 hours remaining. Based on that above shot of 10 days, my battery seems maybe like its boned. What are other people's full battery times remaining?
Did you turn on battery saver?

Because I was using the Office Picture Manager for resizing. For the next one i used Paint.net instead.
Mine is not a common occurrence. I got a negative value yesterday, so its more likely its still borked for me.
I say borked because it still says:
Unless mine is a one-of-a-kind Lumia 920 with a mini antimatter reactor with Dilithium crystals, its bugged.
Hilarious.
