Do you have any background apps enabled? Nokia Drive seems to be a big culprit.
Just swapped mine. This one seems more solid so far. Also noticed more Rogers apps installed, must be newer ones.
ok this feels like a completely different phone than my last one. Even the hardware buttons feel more solid, they were loose and wiggly on the last one.
Good to hear. The Rogers apps were on my new one as well, but I also found them on the marketplace with my previous 920.
Yeah, I got everything back including my app list. The only bummer is that you lose app settings and game progress (except for games like Wordament, etc.). Would like to see that rectified.
I just killed my battery and I'm doing a full recharge.
I had drive at the time.
I now have ALL of them off.
I'll see how she goes. Getting very attached to this OS in a short space of time.

Interesting project for those looking for another wireless charging pad:

there are things I just can't go back to now.
its just such a slick OS. It actually seems more Apple than iOS does.
its like the phone is saying to you "Hey baby, I know I have these problems, but look how fucking sexy i am."

I actually recoiled after picking up my iPhone 4 (although to be fair the wood backplate makes it seem even older) and picking up my wife's iPhone 5, it feels like it could crumble in my hands.
Edit: of course, the bad part is that I still have to use my iPhone 4 from time to time because there aren't any good podcasts apps on WP8 yet. And yes I tried Podcasts!

I thought you previously said you were getting good battery life?
That is really cool
yeah. now it dropped to 4 hours. haha
It varied a fair bit. It wasn't so bad when I would turn off the data at home. I'm curious to see how this phone compares.
I mainly took it in for the cosmetic issues with the phone zedge mentioned earlier.
I have awesome battery time on my 920. 2 days of moderate-heavy usage are no problem for me. Location on, Wifi/H+ on, max brightness etc. It's basically the same experience as on my old iPhone 4, and I love it.
Maybe it's because my provider does not support LTE? I heard that this is a beast when it comes to battery drain.

I am glad I swapped mine. Battery life on the new one is almost double the one I exchanged and it gets nowhere near as warm.
I'm using LTE so that wasn't the problem. I honestly think that some of the phones were duds.

my replacement had the new Rogers apps too making me think this us a new batch
Got my wireless charger, the colors matched the phone, I thought I was only going to get the black charger but we got white and red. I'm definitely going to snag another one at the AT&T store asap. The induction loss across my case isn't bad at all. The phone charged from 40% to full in about 2 hours.
In case people are thinking of mounting their chargers under tables the thickness of the material between the sending coil and receiving coil reduces the efficiency by distance squared. So it'll take longer and cost more money in electricity (and it's just wasteful).

http://www.mobileburn.com/19330/news/qi-extends-wireless-device-charging-distance-to-40mm
Qi officially extends to 40mm which is about an inch and a half. i'm sure the type of material between the phone and charger will reduce this but for the common desk, it should be fine. as to charging speeds, the Qi standard is already slow at 750mah compared to plugging in via micro usb at 1.3amps. so roughly, wireless charging charges at about half the speed.

Recoding with Lumia 920, blow away 8X.

WP Central did comparison recoding with 920 and 8X at Deadmou5 event, and there is just no comparison.

Pretty cool concept ... though IIRC a more pronounced Fibonacci arrangement has demonstrated higher efficiency. Still neat though.
Thing looks pretty freaking huge however.
Early bird doesn't get the worm it seems.
People who pre-ordered get a black charger ... no free headphones ... etc. :\
omg LOL

Yeah, it's giving me an error on my IMEI code on Nokia's website. What the fuck am I supposed to do?

has calmed down a bit.
I picked up a pad from Menelaus for $25 when he bailed out of windows phone a few days ago. Can't wait to set it up at work.
Nice!
Edit: zedge, have you got the Nokia updates for network+ and extras and info yet? I had them on my previous 920.

Wow this phone really better be worth the "weight" after what AT&T is putting me through to get it.
The people who got the yellow version were you able to buy the phone with no-contract? AT&T told me the reason why the system kept cancelling my order is because it was a no-contract order.
I originally ordered the Lumia 920 (in yellow) 3 weeks ago on the AT&T website and the status never changed from "backordered." A little more than 2 weeks later the order was mysteriously cancelled without notice, so I thought that was strange and ordered the phone again on Monday. It says the phone is backordered so I wait again. After another week of checking the website each day the order has been cancelled yet again. So I call up AT&T to find out what's going on and finally get transferred to a warehouse. The rep tells me that my orders were being cancelled because the system was automatically knocking people off the list who are not buying on-contract. Very nice, no wonder AT&T is rated the worst carrier in America. So she says the phone is in stock and ready to ship overnight (despite the fact that the website clearly says otherwise) and places the order herself. Of course the wireless charging plate is not in stock and at this point I guess I should feel lucky to even receive a Lumia of any color tomorrow.

Only reason to not recommend it all the time is that it stops all push/sync and background tasks. I believe only voice and text connections are active when in battery saver mode. You can sync your apps/email/etc but you have to do it manually.

To answer your question, I got mine thru the phone store. But then again, I'm not in the states, but I feel your pain in regards to AT&T. They're pretty awful.
Woo~ I finally got my 920. Transfer from iOS and so far I love it. Althought I do wish there's options to have dual languages on things like maps and stuff. There's some games that I want on there but it's not available. I do hope that the apps store will pick up steam soon!

Honestly, try a different rep. I was trying to get a free charger with my Lumia, and the first one told me stock was limited, and it wasn't a part of the initial order, so I was out of luck and would have to call sales.
Second one I tried looked into it and I should now receive my charger in December.

Well supposedly this last rep who placed the order for me claims that I'm going to be sent the yellow Lumia 920 overnight and that the wireless charger will be shipped when available. She also told me that I'd have to go to the back of the line waiting for the wireless charger as though I just ordered it today (even though I ordered this phone 3 weeks ago).
I'd say my feelings are that I have about a 75% chance of receiving the phone I wanted and 45% chance of ever having the wireless charger sent to me without further calls to customer service.

Yeeeeeeah, with my rep, I asked, "Okay, can I get an order or tracking number"?
They said it would use the same order number as my initial order, which was already delivered.
Definitely e-mailed that chat log to myself in case I need to use it later.
7.8 isn't out. Release is Q1 2013
