Re: The Windows Phone Thread

In WP Central forum, I read that after updating Lumia 630 with the latest firmware update , if one installs MS Audio app then the equalizer works. Can anyone confirm this?
Btw, do connect your iem/headphone and then check.

You're on beta software. Obviously you will face issues. I wanted to know about cyan users. With the final OS, has it improved or decreased the battery life?

improved massively for me on my 720,yet to update my 820 because it hasnt released yet

Ok I too use class 10 for android but I had doubt for windows. If there is not much visible difference I may get higher capacity card.

class 4 should suffice but if you can afford it ,get the class 10

I know that 630 comes preinstalled with latest Os. I'm telling about the Update that Nokia released for 630 to fix bugs & improve performance.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Well...I am already starting to hate this update...Message hub integration with Facebook is now gone. Only through App, I have to send messages in Facebook. Music app live tiles are gone. Me live tile is useless now. For just sharing a picture on facebook I have to use that app that does not even start when using mobile 2G net.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

What is Microsoft's answer to low cost androids having good specs - Moto g,e , Redmi 1s, Android one. Its pathetic to see they bringing in phones like 530. The upcoming companies are taking a hit and trying to sell good mobiles with better specs ( redmi 1s 4.7 in 720p )at lower cost and MS having buttload of money is still sticking to the 4 inch 530/520 in the 7k segment. If microsoft is serious about adoption, it has to start offering better specs at lower prices.

+720*820(lol )
i feel the 30 series lumias are letdowns compared to the 20-series,all feel like downgrades in one way or another
for eg- lack of hardware buttons like camera and capacitive keys
930 looks great but lack of sd card slot and numerous hardware issues seem to plague it going by WPCentral forums
they should have continued making the 20-series ,very few lumias are still in stock - 1320,1520,1020,925,520,530,630

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I am disappointed with the 2200 mAh batteries of 830 & 730. Really want to see battery tests.

yeah i hope denim brings more to the table for older lumias as well though
the 730 is more of a downgrade over my 720 imho,lacks a camera button,lacks capacitive keys,no glance screen but the cpu-gpu,front camera and screen upgrades are welcome changes but not enough for me to get it over the 720
the 830 is a different equation altogether,it looks the best among the entire 30-series atm
snapdragon 800/801 would have made it even juicier but specs dont make much of a difference on wp unlike android
10MP pureview sensor is a serious upgrade even though 720's 6.7MP and 820's 8MP are downsized pureview sensors,it will have a massive difference in quality imho
the batteries of the 730 and 830 wont match the battery life of the battery legend-720 and 820

if theres a lumia or infact any phone i look forward to , its the 830 atm overall
