Damn. That music player lag from SD card is amongst my biggest gripes atm, along with the lack of glance screen :>

Installed GDR3 preview. Phone seems snappier now; the animations might have been toned down a bit but that's how it feels. Rotaton lock is here as well. :D

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

installed GDR3 yesterday on my L520, now my phone has started to feel like a smartphone.
some features are essential and worth void the warranty.
since there will be no glance screen for 520 anyway, waiting 3 months for bittersweet shimmer from nokia is a total waste.
i recommend GDR3, just 38MB OTA and no data loss.

It was at 20 k a couple of days ago. And you could use a Standard chartered card to get another 2k off If I am remembering it correctly.

Noki Lumia 920 owners,
Have you'll faced the dust in the FFC issue?

Mine had one speck of barely visible dust in roughly 6 months.

This beta GDR3 is for devs. Once MS delivers the final OTA of GDR3, your warranty will be back as per MS Terms and Conditions.

Yes. Its gone and I think i did the right thing by purchasing Class 10 SD card :) Happy now.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I'm already a .NET developer and had that WP8 SDK downloaded long time ago when I bought the phone, as I was experimenting it :p

So it was a breeze for me :p

For others (non developers), you need to have Win 8, VS 2012 and WP8 SDK.

^ Register for a MS App Studio account for free.

Well, yeah, this is the best way for non developers :p

Yeah..

1. Flash it via Nokia Software Updater.

Note : The update you flashed above is not Amber, there are two more steps involved.

2. After that, you need to check for updates on phone and it'll download another update which is actually amber.

3. Finally, get the App Updates (Network+, Glance, Settings etc.) from App Store.

Note : App updates are mandatory otherwise you'll face touch problems, network problems, data speed problems etc. If you are not getting app updates automatically, get it via Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates - Nokia Support Discussions

BTW, I use SysApp Pusher | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (भारत)

This is a great app, for all WP Device, as we all face problems with System (Vendor) Apps by Nokia / Samsung / HTC, as they cannot be searched in store and peoples who face problem with App push updates.
