Nokia Lumia |OT| Worth the Weight
- Thread starter EightBitNate
- Start date
Display: 4.5 inch WXGA HD OLED (1280 x 768)
Kinda hard to weigh it if it breaks all the scales it's put on, don't you think?

I'm sure their next flagship phone is right around the corner, should be incredible.

10.2 mm thick, 162g.
Thinner and lighter than the old 920 (10.7 mm, 185g), doesn't feel as big as the 920 either.
Nice. Looks like it is not as tall either.

It's actually a little bit taller, but not that much.
AMOLED has a better refresh rate than LCD panels - so puremotion is built into the tech.
Ah that's good then.
GDR2 isn't expected until end of June/July.

This. Stupid tiered monopoly bullshit.

has calmed down a bit.
My screen has a small chip too. Grrr. If the 928 was coming to AT&T, I'd sell this 920 and buy it. I guess we will see catwalk next week, so I'll probably get that instead.
Catwalk I know in my veins will be hawt!
and not immediately available on Verizon :/
Did you hold it already?
Eh, wait till next week and we'll see.

Bleh, I think the microphone in my Lumia is busted. I keep getting static sound when I recorded video. I wonder if it's still cover under warranty.

Not only that, but the organic LEDs in OLED displays have a response time similar to plasma phosphors. AMOLED has far superior native motion resolution over LCD.
The problem of 'sample-and-hold' remains with organic LEDs, though. Plasma phosphors quickly lose their brightness after illuminating like CRT phosphors. So OLED still has worse native motion resolution than plasma unless you insert a blanking interval to make the OLEDs "blink off" after drawing a frame. This is something the OLED TV manufacturers are presumably working on.
OLED is in many ways an inherently superior technology to LCD, but it's still very immature and until they really solve the issues of burn-in and phosphor lifetime, OLED TVs will remain something you only see at CES booths. It's too bad, because once you've experienced the pure zero black level of OLED even plasma seems inferior as a TV technology.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Today my mom got a 920 and my dad got an 820, their first smartphones. My mom originally wanted an Android phone and my dad was going to get an iPhone. I feel like I imposed these phone choices on them. However, they aren't really tech savvy and if I am going to put up with all of their tech questions regarding their devices, they at least should be on my OS of choice. Also, my mom was going to get the S4 that came bundled with an Android tablet for $200, so I had to pay the difference out of the $700 Samsung ATIV PC. I guess this is the cost of saving myself future headaches. I just kept picturing the nightmare scenario of troubleshooting their iOS and Android devices every time they got stuck, and I wasn't going to have it.
Now we are even Nokia. You gifted me a phone, and I bought two.

How are you going to troubleshoot when they start asking you for Instagram!
: ) My entire family is on Windows Phone also (they all get my hand me down phone so they don't really have a choice in the matter).
so, ive been happily using my yellow 920 since release (on EE UK) and yesterday i thought id clear a little space and add a little more music and films. After all the housekeeping i went to the lumia sttorage space app thhingy and it said i had oger 8gig in 'other'. And as i thought the spinning gear thing had ben fixed i went for a hard reset..
its still spinning away.. 24 hours and counting. i took it back to EE and they told me to take it back to P4U who in turn said they could send it to Nokia to be fixed which would take 2 weeks and they dont offer substitute phones over that period.
can anyone here offer any help? im well versed with all things flashing but i believe Nokia have now put the software behind a 'locked door'.
any help will e really appreciated. hate the thought of being without my lovely lumia for 24 hours never mind 2 weeks.
thanks

There's an event next week and then the usual refresh in Q3/Q4.
i cleared as much as i could off. music, photos, apps, the lot. And it still showed 8gb under other. Im sure its been well documented places that its stuff like app settings and possibly high scores for games.
just felt the time was right fir a wipe and start again.
Lucius, how did you fix it?
I've shared the firmware with Lucius (ee, update is the one before the latest one, won't void your warranty).
You can download it from my SkyDrive http://sdrv.ms/Y3tmzC
Use the Nokia care suit to flash it, it will definitely work. Instructions are on wpcentral, I'm on my phone right now so I can't post the link to that without it being a pain in the arse.

Don't know if this is the right thread, but it seems to be the most active WP8 thread.
I'm thinking of selling my Galaxy S3 and getting a Lumia, in part because WP8 is the only recent mainstream smartphone OS I haven't tried but also because they are sexy as hell. I like the customization of Android but most software never really exits beta stage and crashes randomly all the time (or I may be experimenting too much).
I hear that you use your Xbox Live ID on the phone (at least gaming). I'm wondering if I can somehow rename an Xbox Live ID for my existing Windows account since my current one is just plain bad and I wanna get rid of it (have never played a game on it either).
Or is it better to just create a new outlook email address and start from scratch?

10 bucks is 10 too many for a gamertag I've never used. Preemptively I'm heading to outlook right now.
No worries
It's really stupid that they switched off navifirm to the public.
It really is.. and sorry to be asking again, but all the links on to navfirm are dead. when its ok, would you be able to send me a link?
thanks

That would be the windows phone OT. Which probably has answers to a lot of the questions you're going to have in the OP. Here's a link
http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=501637&page=1
The SkyDrive link above is the latest fw from navifirm before it was shut down.
Just a requite of myself...
I have found links, however once the software is installed they all show a fault and wont accept the firmware.. damn and blast-it!!
Any help? Please?
LED flash? It moves? What the fuck is going on in the 2nd picture? I see a led that sticks out like a periscope.
Nokia you so cray.
Just the black version on its side with the silver lying flat.
