[Nokia Lumia 920] shazoo123:
im really debating on whether i should switch from an GS3 to a lumia 920? i just worry about the app store. are the apps really that limited on lumia 920?
[Nokia Lumia 920] bigkahuna111:
it depends....

If you're talking about applications I would say that the ones that are there are as good or better than Android and for those few that are missing, there are alternatives or 3rd party apps that do the job and in some cases exceed those original apps still missing. So if you're talking about functionality with respect to apps, I would say you'll be perfectly fine with making the switch.

However, if you are a heavy phone gamer and want the latest games and have them for free with ads etc, Google Play is much more ahead of Windows Phone. If you just want light gaming like Angry Birds Star War's, Cut The Rope etc.....you'll be perfectly satisfied.

I made the switch to Windows Phone. I'm not a big gamer, don't really care about gaming on the phone (I prefer a tablet even for light gaming). What I would argue though is that the functionality out of the box, the consistency of the UI1 and the consistency of the apps, and the speed of Windows Phone seriously makes it a better phone than either Android or iPhone.

If you want to drive your car with your phone, or are a heavy gamer and love to tweak your phone over and over and over I would say get Android. If you want a dumb but safe OS with a phone that has a high resale value and you don't mind paying through your nose for an overpriced product which has serious limitations like small screen and proprietary accessories etc, iPhone is for you.

I chose the Lumia 920 and have no regrets whatsoever. Seriously, if you use Google services and you switch to Windows Phone, just get gMaps & Metrotube and that covers pretty much everything (Skydrive is better than Google's offering anyways). I had gMail and switched to Outlook and only use my Google account for Youtube when I'm on the PC. People who say "But with an Android I can get Google Services" are seriously not realizing that there is really not much there, if anything, compared to Windows Phone. Hope this helps you make your choice.

I've contemplated switching myself. My wife has a new lumia 920 and it's a beautiful phone. She's been a Windows phone user for a year and a half now and absolutely loves it. We also picked up a new lumia 920 for my 19yr. old son for Christmas and being an avid xbox guy, he was extremely happy. At least for the twelve hours he had the phone before it got knocked off the table onto our tile floor and cracked the screen. :( It should be back from the repair shop next week. :D

I do have to admit that with Windows 8 on all our computers, the integration with my wifes Lumia 920 and her LIVE account is pretty cool. To a large extent, google has the same sort of integration, but it seems quite a bit more scattered with multiple different google apps for different things, where WP8 just seems to sync/integrate everything quietly in the background.

I've always enjoyed "tweaking" my phone. Started with a Nokia e71 and Symbian, moved to an iPhone 3GS and Jailbreaking, then finally to Android where pretty much anything is possible. I'm worried that moving to WP8 would feel a little too restrictive.

That being said, my contract is up for renewal in a couple months and I'm actually thinking of going with a Lumia 920 just to see how I like it. I figure I can always sell it and go back to my i9300 SG3 if things don't workout.
[Nokia Lumia 920] bigkahuna111:
so this is the thing

I have been a windows phone user for two years now and I will say this much, if you are looking for customizability and playing with the look of your phone, windows phone will bore you to tears. The truth is that once you setup your layout on the homescreen, there isn't much else you can do or will do since it is already setup to your needs and how you use the phone. Like I add tracking packages to the bottom of the screen and once they get delivered I delete them, same goes for games once I finish playing them. So once the screen is setup I would argue that you do get bored after a while and go through different colours depending on your mood or even depending on the Bing wallpaper which is showing that day (if you use that lockscreen feature) etc. There really isn't any other customizability you can do or really will do after a bit because the phone is perfect for a lack of a better term, its perfectly setup for your needs.

I would argue that's a good thing, even though I do wish I can see some animations on the lockscreen etc. At the end of the day the added functionality I get with a Windows Phone and the way it integrates with everything I use, is just too good to give up to get some more freedom with respect to tweaking icons, text, wallpapers, animations etc.

Hope this helps you in your decision....
[Nokia Lumia 920] phoneguy 4567:
If you can live with the out of the box WP functionality & experience for the majority of your needs then you will be happy. If the stock apps don't cover the majority of your needs then stick with Android. Of course WP has some great 3rd party apps that add functionality/fill in the gaps, but you may not be able to count on them always working or the program being around in the future. A good example are YouTube apps which may stop working because Google has made a change, until the developers make the necessary changes.

For the best WP experience you are basically going to use Microsoft services Outlook.com/Hotmail/Live. If you have all your info in GMail,Google Docs etc. then you should decide if your willing to migrate it to the MS ecosystem, before moving to WP IMO

I did a switch and am unhapppy.

Its just been 18 hrs since i switched from S3 to 920 and am already missing it very much. Its nothing to do with the phone as such. The major thing am missing is the android. If you happen to be an android user for over a year and if you like to play (Not just games but roms etc etc.) then i seriously suggest you NOT to switch.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tameracingdriver:
Agreed.

I had a Lumia 920 for 2 weeks. Fantastic little machine, but I just found myself constantly looking on enviously at my friends' Android phones. Once I got the Nexus 4 it felt like I was back home.

For me, WP8 is too limited and has too many things that drove me up the wall. Type quickly? Forget about the auto-correct working properly, it couldn't keep up (and I'm by no means the quickest typist on a touch screen). Just little things such as the time not being displayed in certain screens at the top, and connectivity icons always being hidden used to irritate me. No notification was another irritant. Yes OK, the tiles would display unread texts etc, but I found sometimes I wouldn't notice them. The Android solution is so much better.

Overall, I just felt like I didn't have the same level of control as I do on Android. If I want to kill a task, how do you do that on Windows?

This can be a good or a bad thing, but I suspect many on XDA will not like it, being that most XDA members are very technically able people.

I thought I would enjoy having less choices and just getting on and using it, but you know what, it had the opposite effect.
[Nokia Lumia 920] luv4treat:
exactly my same thoughts..^^^^^.
[Nokia Lumia 920] peter56:
I switched to 920 at Christmas time. I love my new phone, Windows phone 8 is great, i can modify the home screen as much as I want and I love the live tiles. the only bug bear I had was the wifi switching of when asleep, but that has been fixed in the update I just received :)

one of the major reasons I switched was the slow uptake of Samsung to update it's phones, if I had not manually updated the firmware my s11 would still be sitting on gingerbread, the fragmentation of Android is hopeless. I only hope the same thing does not happen with Windows.
[Nokia Lumia 920] squarebobspongepants:
can you download files from the internet like you can with an android? I download a ton of torrents while i'm at work.
[Nokia Lumia 920] cubitusclaudius:
maybe nobody here downloads file ?
[Nokia Lumia 920] neftv:
I not used torrent application myself but I did a search to see what apps in the store from my Lumia 920. I found a dozen so apps that manage and control torrent server software that you would have on your home computer. Some are free and some are paid .99 to 1.99. So at least you can control and manage your torrent server. I would suspect if you had a router based on tomato firmware that has torrent you could control/manage that as well in theory as well.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Droid-o-matic:
My experience is the opposite many of yours. I have had Android phones since T-Mobiles G1 (I still have it) and I loved all the tinkering I could do with them. I've had Moto, HTC and Samsung. But there was always 'something' that didn't work quite right. Maybe the bluetooth stack wasn't that great or the GPS would show me blocks from where I am. Even the compass on one of them would have me twirling in circles as I sat at a traffic light. Some hardware issues, some software. An update would occur to fix something then another thing would suffer. Many ROMs built here were phenomenal pieces of work and way beyond my skill set. However a fgreat deal of the time even they were not quite done 'baking', for lack of a better term.

I saw the demo of my 920 while shopping for a new phone for my girlfriend. I had my One X for about 8 months. I HAD to have this phone. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now and it just works. That's all I can say. Everything on mine just simply works. GPS, compass, BT, mail services, WiFi...even phone calls! I've embraced the UI so much that I bought a windows 8 tablet and sold my iPad. (I sold the iPad for more reasons than just Windows 8 but that's for a different forum)

The seamless integration between the two is great and, for my purposes, I couldn't be happier with my decision to make this move. Is the app store lacking? Absolutely. But not to the point that I miss my Android phone(s). Don't misunderstand. I really do get why you would miss the flexibility of that OS. If I had time I'd keep one just for messing with. But it's so much easier now that when I want to do something I just do it and the phone cooperates completely.

My 920 from my perspective. Thanks for listening. Now back to your regularly scheduled browsing already in progress.

[Windows 8 General] ROORnNUGZ:
I have a similar problem with my Sony notebook except only with Bluetooth. Doesn't happen all the time but windows sometimes stops the driver from working. The only way to get it working is to reboot or disable then enable driver in device manager. Have you messed with your drivers at all cause maybe there are new ones for windows 8 if you did an upgrade from 7
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
I don't know if you have tried this but on some laptops the various devices are disabled unless FN+(F-Key) is pushed.

For example, I have a laptop that has wireless, it is disabled unless I do FN (Function) F10, that enables the radio for wifi and allows me to turn it on and use it... perhaps its something similar...

[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
Hi everybody,

I'm here as a Sensation user with S-ON and 3.32 firmware.

I'd like to see ROM and KERNEL developers to show in the OP the required firmware version for their creations. Flashing something designed for 3.33 firmware on a device with 3.32 can bring unstability... I never tried, but it should be like this, right?

Some developers already put the required FW in the OP, but others do not.

So, what about to add this rule for the threads in the development section? :D
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Don't use discontinued ROMs
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
Ehm... what does it mean? :confused:

Wrong thread maybe? Or you wanted to say: "Dont' use discontinued firmware"?
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Nope, ROMs which are under active development all use the 3.33 firmware. It's the older ROMs that use 3.32
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
Well, this is something really good to know. I didn't figure it out because the Bruce's CM10 works fine for me (and for lots of other users) also on 3.32 :D And that's why I don't really need to go S-OFF and upgrade my firmware now.

Coming back to the topic...

In any case, I think the information you provided to me should be more highlighted in the development section. ;)

Thanks for your answer.
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Just s-off it mate, you'll wonder why never s-offed it before. The day I got my sensation a month ago, I s-offed it in 20 minutes and I haven't looked back. Latest firmware and no worries about flashing kernels and stuff. And it's you need any help, you've got some amazing people to help you on here
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
Mmmm, that's true... I must win my fear about Juopunut procedure. After this crazy period of exams I'll find time to go S-OFF. Thanks for your suggestion :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perakesson:
Hi all!

I already have a DLNA compatible Philips TV and I run 2 differnen DLNA server apps on my Win 7 PC, Windows Media Player 12 and TVersity. That way I can browse and play almost all my movies on my PC from the TV interface.

Now I just got my first Galaxy S.

Used, with stock Android 2.2. First thing, I rooted it and prepare to install CM 10.1.

But before removing stock I want to learn how DLNA works on the phone.

I took some photos and videos that I want to stream to the TV.

The stock AllShare would sometimes display my TV as selectable target, sometimes not.

When I could select the TV I could always stream photos to the TV but only sometimes videos.

The same happened with Skifta.

I will also test some other DLNA players such as MediaHouse, iMediaShare, Beam, BubbleUp.

But so far my results seem unpredicatable and unreliable.

I searched the web and XDA but found very little.

Can somebody share their experiences of streaming media from Galaxy S ot a TV?

Working configurations?

Would somebody have an install apk to AllShare?

The Samsung support pages recommend installing their AllShare server software. Is that important? MWP and Tversity should be compatible, or maybe not?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodon:
AFAIK AllShare isnt supported by CyanogenMod... AllShare works only on Stock Gingerbread Roms with the standard framework.

You have to use apps like imediashare or something. The Streaming works very well with stock... The only problems are the free apps which are provided in the market in my opinion. the most of them have a really annoying UI but it works. music, photos are working fine. for videos i cant say anything since i didnt try to stream movies.
