Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Need a few answers guys
1) Does lumia 525 have double tap to wake and glance screen ? If not which is the cheapest lumia with these features (625?)
2)Does installing apps via xap file from sd card require internet connection?
3)Are there any browser available that work good on EDGE like opera mini in other platforms ?
Thanks in advance

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
1) Double tap > Yes, Glance > No
2) Yes
3) Yes, use UC browser.
One advice: Go for Moto G or wait for Moto E which will be around 9-10 thousand. Windows 8 or 8.1 has a lot of bugs and requires to reset phone several time. So for the time being look for alternatives. I'm a fellow Lumia 520 user and I have faced some serious bugs in software like duplicating files, no detection of files in SD card (card itself is detected), no independent control of music player volume and phone ring volume etc. Lumia phone hardware is premium but software in still buggy.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Please don't give wrong advice. Windows phone 8 after GDR3 is not buggy. Never faced any issues or phone resets at all. WP8 is the most stable OS out there.
With 8.1 there are issues but it is still not an official release. It's just a developer preview. And the Dev preview will be buggy.
With 8.1 you get data sense with IE 11. It compresses data like opera mini. So you can use IE itself. Also UC browser is definitely an alternative.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
thanks [MENTION=9935]ssk_the_gr8[/MENTION] and [MENTION=148475]rdx_halo[/MENTION]
Liked the glance feature very much from videos - is there any sub 20k lumia having that feature . Was considering 525 eventhough i have a budget od 20k as calling music and browsing are my only use,i rarely even use camera but saw a few YouTube videos on glance feature and i really like it so considering spending a bit more plus if i can get a better screens than that on 525 that would be a bonus .

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Please let us know what they are. I want to know what I missed.
Before you plan to go and say it's your phone's problem, I'd like to do that and you say the OS is buggy not the phone. Not having a separate music and ringer volume is NOT a bug but a feature limitation.

I am a 525 user and wp8.1 works perfectly. No single issue till now. Only the music and games app are a bit buggy.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Biggest bug is that > music and photo duplication, I have wasted countless hours on various forum and followed every steps. But ultimately, no final solution. Just google > duplicate files in Lumia
Then another problem> after formatting SD card contents(Music, Videos, Pics) when I copy the files again in phone, they aren't showing in phone. It started to happen randomly since last week. The card is being detected by the device but the contents in [Music, Videos, pictures] aren't shown up. This is also a fairly common problem as lots of users are reporting online.
This two serious problem has made me think twice for my next mobile purchase. Because Microsoft has not accepted these bugs officially and made no effort to fix them in either Black Amber or 8.1 update.
Bizarre ‘Other’ storage filling up
My phone suffers from a flaw in the WP8 system which caused the available storage to gradually fill up. In the Settings > Phone storage and tap on the bar to get a breakdown of categories and see how much space music and videos, pictures, apps, and system are taking up. There’s also an ‘other’ category which covers attachments from emails, app & game data, and other temporary files. Unfortunately, this category fills up and there is no way of clearing it out without wiping the phone.
I know bug is an inherent nature of any software and I can live with some, I have lived through Windows 98, xp bugs. But when bugs become a real hindrance in a device's feature, then its time to think about alternatives. Android has their share of bugs also, but THEY DON'T CRIPPLE THE PHONE AT-LEAST.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
So now it's 2 bugs.
This WILL fix your media duplication
Besides, your content aren't duplicated. Only the listing are.
I don't think these issues would persist on 8.1, speculation should be presented as speculation not facts that can mislead someone. Next time, post some sources.

They are not supposed to, if they do THEN it is a bug.

after formatting SD card contents(Music, Videos, Pics) aren't showing in phone its a typo, I think you get the idea.
Next time, post some sources.
I'm not writing a PhD Thesis with citations and references .... People with common sense can differentiate speculation from fact.

You copied via an SD card reader I hope, not the phone attached to PC method ?
I had this exact issue in Music hub, but its long gone - AFTER I manually deleted and re-copied my collection with the "black" firmware installed.
The Black firmware doesnt fix the issue if its already present, only prevents it from reccurring.

[MENTION=148475]rdx_halo[/MENTION] as long as it is your "opinion" I would never care to correct you. You have the obligation to provide sources if you make statements such as the ones you have posted and suggest something entirely out of context. PhD or not, providing sources only solidifies your argument be it for any matter. Typos are spelling mistakes/missing words.
He was asking for a Lumia series phone with the said features. You were on the path of derailing/hijacking the thread by suggesting him an Android (this is a windows phone thread).

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Btw, reg that duplicates issue this is what i did (before the first OTA update):
1. Backup the SD contents.
2. Hard reset the phone.
3. Put the SD to phone, and format it.
4. Connect the phone, and copy the contents to SD.
5. Problem solved.
