Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Any possible date of Lumia 930 release in india? Its european release is said to be June. But June could also mean last week of June. Does it mean that we have to wait till August
? This 2 month wait is already hurting me and 4 month will kill everyone.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Well stupid marketing policy. A phone announced in early April and release in June is already late. And as you said they said June, so it could be first June or last, if it's last then in India it's July. More than two months that is, horrible.

I remember, Lumia 920 was launched on November 2012, but was launched in indian on 11th Jan 2013. Lumia 1520 was launched on November 2013, but came in india on Last week of December 2013. So if Lumia 930 is launched on Last week of June, we might have to wait till August, which is horrible

My 520 is faster after the update. Everything is great except the music and video apps. The music+videos in WP8 was far better in my opinion

You can still get it (although dont tap on the vlume ba to get back)
*www.wpcentral.com/bring-back-old-Xbox-Music-Windows-Phone-81
I am using it now and its great - almost like the old days
The next pet complaint is how they ruined the caret (keyboard)
- - - Updated - - -
Source? And what new features?
I dont care much for features, usability still is the top priority for me, personally. Usability first, features next.

I don't see a change in my battery life. It's more or less the same. BTW, I have NextGen, WhatsApp and Messenger running in the background.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
Its a pain to move the caret (or cursor as some call it) between letters, that is if you can get it properly selected without having to squint and poke like a neurosurgeon. WP 8 version had a long press mode where the caret floated above the fingers and it was seriously the best implementation I had seen yet. WP 8.1 switches to the Android way of doing things and its a massive step backwards in usability.
This video:-
*www.wpcentral.com/new-word-flow-keyboard-caret-windows-phone-81
explains the whole process. Despite calling the new method an improvement look how the preseter fumbles far more with the WP 8.1 version of caret. I have had to get used to it, but I still positively hate it. In apps like Facebook as soon as your comment has crossed the default size, the present keyboard implementation of the caret becomes unusable for any edits
When it comes to keyboard caret implementation, WP 8.0 >>> WP 8.1

Thanks, I was aware of that, I thought this was something else. I already have that version of the app and the improvements are only marginal. The performance is still incredibly sluggish.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread
even i used to have problem to reach in the midst of a word. but ,now i am ok and it is fine to move between characters easily. it is just that you need to get used to it.
