Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

after using the phone when the battery cools down, a normal spike is normal. Used to happen in my xperia arc as well as several other models.

Last night i used 620, i mostly used shazam which requises mobile data. To my surprise battery stayed at 100 % even after using it for 40 minutes.

This too sometimes happened with my arc.

Anyways 2 of my friends have 620 and 1 has 820 all moved from bb.

Yes, Sankar

I was using 3G, WiFi and moderate calls too, it is really amazing to me

Now is this increase in battery backup a result of update or you used to get this much battery backup?

Sankar

My L620's battery life seems to be stabilized now. With heavy internet usage, messaging, IMs, calls etc; battery lasts for a day.

Btw, here is the first panoroma shot using Nokia panorama app

@SB, no it was not charged in between but, I connected to laptop to transfer some pics, so it might be showing that there

@Sankar, Yes, it seems some thing was there in the update for battery back up as these days the back up looks to be more with same kind of usage like earlier

@CF, Ah, that was a nice pic buddy, I will try for such pic soon

Good to hear that. Do keep the thread posted when you find changes in your phone after the update was installed.

Yes, Sankar, I will do that, and also I could notice that its touch sensitivity increased after the update, as the screen moves with a gentle touch

Are you sure on that or is it just the feeling that things have generally improved after the update? Because touch sensitivity depends almost on Hardware and not on software(My guess ) So will a software update change sensitivity settings in a phone?

@Sankar

To be very frank, I do not know that hardware and software stuff of phones, may be it is a feeling I cannot rule out that

A smartphone basically works like a PC. It needs drivers for Display, Graphics, Sound reception and transmission, Signal processing, Battery etc to run along with the phone's hardware to work. That's the reason why an update from manufacturer takes a long time as they need to re-develop the drivers for new OS and test the drivers extensively(Speaking about Android update from Ice cream Sandwich 4.0 to Jelly Bean 4.1). So unless their is an significant update to the drivers then only their will be changes to core stuff of a smartphone. If their were any fault with drivers then you might already know like issues with Battery backup (Icecream Sandwich had issues with low battery backup that was rectified bu Google's update) or low signal reception.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Recently, when father was using the iPad, he noticed that the charge was not decreasing from 100%. I told him that it may be because he didnt use it. But he said he used before. Then I told thats the speciality of Ipad. It has the best battery life. Next day, it was still at 100%. Thats not possible. So I restarted and it was at 37%!!
But in fatc, it has the biggest battery (11xxx mAh) and provides good battery life too.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

My plan same as you

Raja, try your hands on L720. I guess its already released in the West.

Here, its up for pre-oreder on Filpkart for 18999/-. Guess, only by end of this month, it would be on markets.

GSM arena has reviewed L720 as well.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

Guy's i am seriously considering in investing on a Lumia series phone, but i dont want to spend more than 20K.

I need all Nokia Lumia owners help here, i am an hardcore Android fan boy so by migrating to windows platform will i be disappointed(pro's & con's)? and i am looking for a phone with a good camera quality,

Please fill me with your suggestions

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences

@Visran

Yes, it will disappoint you if you are a Android freak, but in practical terms it is just about more and more applications and customer screens and other things.

I never felt those are shortfalls if I think in terms of business needs and I found following things are good with Lumia serious phones. It may take little time for you to get adjusted to the new OS and some buttons too.

-Unique look
-clear black screen
-Good processor speed
-excellent touch screen experience
-excellent camera quality
-good battery backup
-all useful applications
-office tools are good
-browser is fast

With your budget I suggest a L 720 or L 820
