What's missing from it? I've never really watched my friends use it on other phones, so I'm curious.
I haven't had any real problems with either of those things.

Heading towards 1AM, phone has been off the charger since 8AM. Moderate use, reading emails, news, Facebook, taken pictures, also have Skype & Facebook & Lync all online and Exchange mail on push mode, two Gmail accounts and a CNN homescreen. 45% battery left. Massively better than Lumia 800 battery.

Me either...
Panic fixed.. phew. Just pressed all the buttons for 4-5 seconds. Phew!!!
Still slow (but I'm on a first gen device) but notifications are mostly fine now.
Good luck getting two groups with like 5 people in each moving to a different app. Especially one with a yearly fee, even if it's .99.
Yeah, I didn't get a single notification from a group chat two days ago and my friend had to call me to let me know what was going on -.-

The floating lens doubles as a battery charger. The more movement you make charges the phone. Therefore, it will never die. \s
Been having issues trying to get the phone unlocked as two sites I tried said they couldn't find it in the database. Those that buying it off contract and want to get it unlocked make sure you do it at the store as it's been a hassle to do it.
might have to return the phone if I can't get it unlocked.

lol and another 20 minutes on 0% while playing Angry Birds Star Wars, and it finally shut down.
Battery is at 0 and still works, you can't explain that!
Guess I should leave it off and charge it now...lol
For the first full days use, the phone started at 75% when I first started using it (charged to 100 last night) and lasted about 9 hours and a half. Heavy internet use, music playing in my car for about an hour, downloading apps and updates, a few calls, email and texted a bit.

Did you buy it from Rogers?
No, from best buy mobile store. I just emailed someone local and they said they can do it so hopefully it works. I went to a Rogers store and they said they couldn't unlock it because it would void the warranty which is weird because the best buy rep said to go there to get it unlocked.

Someones screwing with you, try going to a separate Rogers store and ask them to unlock it. If they say no, demand it.
I went to a Rogers Plus store and then a Rogers affiliate and they both said they couldn't do it. Don't know what the big is that's an easy $50.
Where do you live? Both Rogers stores near me would do it for you.
Calgary but hopefully the guy I emailed can do it tomorrow. Think I'm going to try to go with Mobilicity since their plans are so cheap.
Well fuck me, WP8 doesn't support the security measures of my Uni's wifi. Why? Makes no sense. To be more specific it doesn't have EAP TTLS support. Apparently desktop Win8 does. If the two are so similar why the shit can't WP8 use it?
Hey at least they're "looking into it". But I'd probably be better off nagging the techies to make a web-based portal, they already have one for guests so they should be able to adapt it for students too, but it's Sweden, it'll never happen lol ):
Have they said this before in regards to WP7/7,5? God I hope the WP team doesn't use Valve-Time.. Maybe they're keeping it exclusive to WP9 so users have a reason to upgrade.

WP8 is based on W8 RT.
I'm not knowledgable in the subject, what implications does that have?
Edit: What I mean is that I fail to see how that would have any effect on what sort of wifi encryption methods are available on WP8. I mean smartphones are the most portable devices, wouldn't you want them to have as many options as possible?
Same happened to me, and I just plugged my phone in about 20 minutes ago. Lasted pretty good today.
Got to 10% around 10:30 so 14 hours of use.
are they obligated to unlock it if you ask them?

I still believe WP8 was mostly a developer targeted release along with the kernel switch and they didn't have much time to implement other things on their checklist.
Why something like Kid's corner got the priority is odd though.
I thought it was fixed because it just rebooted and went to the Nokia logo.. not its been stuck on it for nearly 6 hours. I think my phone has a problem. does anyone here know if there's anything that can be done to save my phone from being returned?
Let the battery die. Hopefully that fixes it. If not then you need a new phone, not the worst thing in the world.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'll give that a try.. hopefully it fixes the problem.
Like you say though, if not i'll just take a trip down to the local P4U for a swap. Hopefully they can do it as i bought it over the phone.. hmmm!
I'd like to see those, either in a separate thread or this one.
So rushed release to meet demands from developers, is what you're saying? Why on earth would they put a pretty important thing like wifi standards on the backburner though?
"Likely coming" just sounds like there's a chance of them ignoring it altogether. I know this was the case with WP7 as a whole. So I'm kind of worried. 'spose I'll have to set up some wifi at home for app downloading and such, unless you can download apps through your PC and then transfer them to the phone?
Nah, they just didn't have time to do all the things they wanted to do when you also had to port their OS into a new kernel. They obviously couldn't say that they needed more time either. I think prioritizing developer needs is the right thing to do. I don't know about EAP-TLS WiFi support though, I guess their data tells them it's not that commonly used and thus was put at a lower priority.
Contacts and calendars work very well. Some people complain about limited Gmail functionality, but as someone who doesn't get a whole lot of mail and only uses it for reading/sending, I've never had any kind of problem with it either.
Now other Google services are a whole different matter...
WhatsApp has had several big updates over the past year. We have emoticons now!
Just an update for anyone that's interested..
I called the P4U technical helpdesk, who were actually very helpful. They ran through all the things like plug in, unplug, switch off then on again. once the phone was deemed borked, they said that even though I bought the phone over the phone i'd be able to return it to a shop with an exchange ref, which the chap kindly gave me.
When it came to dealing with retail P4U it was another thing altogether. The first shop were cool when I asked if they stocked the yellow 920. LOADS I was initially told.. then when I told them the reason why, the chap went quiet and said he needed to speak with his manager. Surprise, surprise, when he came back saying his store only had 1 left and that it was reserved. He advised me to call their other shop just over the road from where they were.
This call was great.. I did the same thing.. enquired about the handset first.. they were all jolly like. Then, again when I explained what for I got a 'if they say you can do it you must be able to!' so I asked them to reserve one for me and i'd be there in an hour. I got a 'Yep!' and a hungup phone'
Off I go for the exchange!!
Yippee!!!

That is one of the known "defect" with 920, it doesn't boot back up after hard reset. So I think you do have a clunker. Why did you do a hard reset anyway? Did it froze on you?
Here are some of the known issues with 920 from WPCentral forum

I think some apps can be download over the web via Windowsphone website but some are restricted however such as those exclusive apps either through carriers or OEM.

I was disappointed at first that they didn't have any wireless plates in stock but the standup charger is really growing in me. It has NFC built in so when I put my phone on the stand it will automatically keep the lock screen showing (for instance).
Edit: quick correction ... It appears that the NFC will only launch apps ... I don't see any way to make the default my lock screen. No biggie, time to look for a nice clock app.
Really slick and looks great.
Also, just to let everyone know, the wireless charger still works even if the phone is in a bumper case.
Congrats on the 920, hope you enjoy it

ffs, how can this still be the case?! Fucking idiots.

This is called "light leaking" and I've read where some 920s suffer from it.
Is this a serious condition?
