[Windows Phone 8 General] letakgr:
Hello to everybody!

Recently I bought the Lumia 925, and ,for me, it's the most beautiful smartphone I have ever used (and yes I'm counting Iphone 5s and Htc one). I have fallen in love with wp 8 from the first time the phone turned on and I love almost everything in this os. In fact I have started to learn c# so i can develop an app someday for this beautifull os...BUT I can't ignore the important stuff this platform is missing...

I would like to point out the bad things (since this is the subject of the thread) about wp8 and I don't think anyone would disagree with me :) They are not a lot, but they are serious!

1. As of now we all have the gdr3 on our devices. I was expecting some great stuff from this update, but I was left dreaming...Still no separate volume controls! (rumor has it that we will have it until May with the 8.1 update but it's still a rumour :) )!Still no good work on the notifications: When I play a game or using an app and someone sends me a message the notification pops up in the way and I have to swipe it over...EVERY TIME!)

2. The Microsoft-Google war about the official YouTube app has damaged us, the wp8 users, because we still can't have the features that the other platforms have (and please do not tell me about 3d party apps! I have bought metrotube and MyTube and but I would like not to spend money on stuff the other 2 major platforms take for granted). A lot of people love YouTube and the lack of it is simply a deal breaker!

3.Facebook app from Microsoft is really bad! It's slow, it drains a lot of battery, and it lacks the 50% of the features it has on the android app...I love Microsoft but you can't say that you have made a phone for the average consumer and not have built a decent Facebook app, which is the most mainstream app in the world...Also a deal breaker for a lot!Please Microsoft do something and work on this! If anyone disagrees with me please tell me why...Oh! I should point out that,while the fb integration is pretty good in wp8 (people,fb chat etc), it still lacks the messenger options of attaching pictures and sound recording! If the integration was better we wouldn't need a fb app at all but now we have to use 2 apps (integrated fb chat + Facebook messenger)!!!!

4. THE MOST IMPORTANT: We can't set apps as defaults! This is a really big inconvinience since if I want to open,say, a youtube link a friend had sent me in fb messenger, i click on it, and instead of going into the MyTube app (which is great btw) it sends me to the internet explorer...And this is just an example!We can't change the default web browser, there aren't any other keyboards available (I love wp8 keyboard more than anything else but more options never hurt anyone) and there aren't alternative media players ,only the default one ,which is kind of bad (you have to press the ff and frw buttons to navigate through the video + it doesn't support all the video and audio formats!)!

Well that's all I have to say! Please send me your comments and if you know a fix to what I have stated above please share it with me! Also, I'm sorry for the bad spelling, because English is not my native language...
