Do you like your Nokia Lumia 920? - Nokia Lumia 920

I have been testing later Nokia models, but I think Lumia 920 is still one of the best Lumia models. What do you think?
It's possible to argue about Lumia 1020 looks, but 920 definitely wins on overall design, it's just nice, balanced device to hold in your hand.
Similar situation with 925, then Nokia just screwed balance and feel of the phone, not to mention very poor case and button quality.
I don't consider 1520, since it's totally different class device, more a tablet, than a phone.
So Lumia 920 still the best even it's more than one year old now? Have you considered later Lumia models?

Yeah, I like mine, but as soon as Nokia releases Lumia 1520 to my country (Brasil), I think I'll swith to it...

I already had 1520 for a bit, it doesn't even fit to a pocket. I don't like phablets in general, especially Windows Phablet for me doesn't make any sense. Microsoft even laughed about Android and iPhones with ads like these
And they are offering office/media/big screen Windows phone now. Really..?

Not a 920 owner, but a 928 Verizon version, which is a slightly better version of the 920.
Overall I find myself using this and pleased with it. There are some things that just annoy me but I hope Microsoft or Nokia change it. Can't export SMS out of the Lumia. You can import all fine but can't Export saved messages. I'd probably make this my main driver if not for this one thing.
Anyway, just love the look and feel of WP8. Also got this phone because it's unlocked out of the box and couldn't beat the price. Had I done a bit of research would have held off from buying this device.
Can't Tether. I'm sure it probably works on Verizon service but didn't work for T-Mobile, Net10 or H2O MVNO I use
Have to keep the phone on EDGE to properly use T-Mobile. Everything works except sending text messages out
One Net10 the phone works completely MMS, SMS, Internet (no LTE obviously because of device and radio).
I have H2O as my service and everything works except can't receive MMS. Tried and searched internet. Couldn't get it to work.
I could really take a break from Android and lately, just how embedded google services is becoming really worries me. I would have gotten a 920 but found a really low price for the 928. I have some regrets, mainly because the device is designed to work for Verizon. Its GSM Unlocked but there are certain things that don't work and had these items been better advertised by Verizon, I wouldn't have gotten it. MMS is the real hurdle and it may or may not work on the 928 really depends on the carrier or the APN but again, I blame Verizon for this shortfall.
Gonna keep an eye out for WH8.1. I love this hardware, just looks and feels premium. If this Lumia supported Android, forget about it. I'd jump to Nokia.

I think you have listed Verizons branded model problems. Standard WP has a feature to backup SMS on Skydrive and it has tethering and of course is unlocked by default.
I had Vodafone UK branded 920, it was a mess. Runs slower, has poorer reception and doesn't get WP updates. That sucked, but I flashed it to standard FW rather easy, now I have dev unlocked device and I'm one of the first to receive all over air updates and cool features.

1520 and 920 side by side. Actually, 1520 wins on screen quality with colors and details, but still there isn't much use of a phone, that doesn't even fit a pocket.

Do you want your AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 unlocked????

Hey everyone! I've got T-Mobile and I'm debating whether I should buy an AT&T Lumia 920 but I don't know if the same thing is going to happen like with the Lumia 900, No codes until after 6 months. So instead of investing in the phone I'm not sure is going to work, I can invest in your phone to see if there is an unlock available for it. If you have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 message me and I will pay for an unlock from cellunlocker . net . So I could see if unlocks are available for the AT&T phones. So you help me figure out if we can unlock these and you get your phone unlocked free! If you're interested message me with your IMEI. AT&T phones only.
Seriously no one wants an unlock? I'm dying to know if the AT&T Lumias can be unlocked :-S
They can't be. Not for 6 months.
Numerous people have tried. Please read the threads above and below yours before posting.
Rogers will unlock their model for 50$. Don't think that'll help you though.

I know the Rogers model works on WIND which means it'll also work on T-Mobile.

Hello I actually bought a Lumia 920 last Thursday(15.11) from AT&T they told me that it can be unlocked but I'm still waiting to get the unlock code.
I told them that if It can't be unlocked I will return it and they said that is ok, so lets see after some days if its possible or not.
Well i have two Nokia Lumia 920, and i need to unlock them too. Sign me up.

Nothing specific I only walked in and told them I want to buy a Lumia 920, And I want to be able to use it with an other operator as I'm not from the USA. And they told me no problem. But lets see if I get any unlock codes from them, in the unlock e-mail I got it was written it will take 5 - 7 business day to get the unlock codes.

I was definitely serious. I got two responses. So I went with who sent me a request first but.... OH MY GOD!!! ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!
They've gotta be joking! I was expecting it to be 40 tops.
That's cellunlocker.net.
Does anyone know somewhere else offering AT&T codes?

I got in touch with the over on This Link, and told it can be done in 24 hours or 7 days, but they guarantee it works.
Thanks, I'll try them later on today and I also saw one on freenokia.org but it's 40 euros. If these guys don't work I'm gonna try freenokia.org.
Hey Guys,
Any update on the unlocking situation?

Interesting.
I'm wondering if they have not just screwed this one up as there is also a listing for an (Unlocked) Lumia 920 @ $794. Obviously a non-AT&T one.
Still I'm going to chuck down an order and send them a message asking to confirm this is actually unlocked.

Please let us know if you hear back from them. I'll buy one if it's really unlocked!
I haven't purchased a 920 yet. I probably won't, I'll pass on WP if I cannot find a Dev 920 or an unlocked non-ATT branded version. And I'm on ATT, such is my hatred for branding and gimping.
Small update if anybody is interested. Got a reply from expansys regarding my order;
Hello, it has been confirmed with AT&T that this device is unlocked.
Thank you have a wonderful day!

Take it with a grain of salt but they're digging themselves a pretty big hole if this proves to be incorrect.
The downside is they do not expect my order to ship out till 10th December:crying:

Did they tell you it won't ship till the 10th? The website says "Usually ships in 8 days", yesterday it said "9 days", wonder what that means. I placed my order and tried to get in touch with them on the phone, but I guess they're not taking calls Thanksgiving weekend.

All I heard was Nokia will be rolling out the update to the Lumia 920's by the end this month.
With the HTC 8X they rolled out the update to unbranded devices first and branded devices the following days. It might be the same with the Lumia 920 update - e.g. AT&T today, next batch tomorrow, etc. But at the moment we can only guess.
It looks like it's a definite for today (December 19th, 2012) for AT&T branded 920's-

From NaviFirm, I can see some European variants has the new firmware. Not sure when they will be able to do OTA, but if you don't mind to restore your backup, then flash it with the correct variant. I think we will see more from now till the beginning of January, and by that time, all the Lumia 920 will already have the latest software.
I updated my phone through the Nokia care suite and every thing works great as well as the new options.
Was looking forward to getting the update for my Lumia 920, which is being released in the US today.
Turns out Nokia aren’t going to bother releasing it in other markets till February 2013! What a joke!
I know Nokia are pretty much only just breaking into the US market, but ignoring somewhere you actually have a fan base is a very bad idea IMO. And to delay it around 3 months is just a joke! WP8 has been out roughly 1 month and they have managed to process and create the update for the US market, so how come its going to take an additional 2-3 months for the UK market, it simply cant take that long.
They have stated no reason for the delay either.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was just a camera update, but it is there to fix genuine bugs in the OS too, like random restarts and so on. Luckily I have rarely suffered from the restarts, but I have noticed it happen a few times in my month of ownership.
They need to pull their finger out and release the update in a timely manor around the globe.
Also what happened to the ability to by-pass restrictions and update your phone as soon as an update because available that Microsoft spoke about when announcing WP8?!
Still, it doesn’t detract from the fact that I really like my phone, and the camera is still very good. But it is incredibly annoying knowing that those little bugs and niggles have been fixed, and that the camera has been improved further, and its clearly been tested because its being released on consumer phones. Yet we in the UK will have to wait 2-3 months for it, for as far as I can see no reason at all!
I got mine yesterday, so far so good!
By the way, the update is NOT for the US only, it's also being rolled out to Rogers 920's in Canada.
US and Canadian devices are identifying themselves as RM-820, the EU Lumias are RM-821. It remains to be seen what differences actually exist but it seems that the US Lumias are simply similar phones but not identical to the EU variants.
Flashing RM-821 onto RM-820 devices to debrand them seem to have failed as far as I read the reports here. But still I agree that the OS update at least should go out to EU Lumias ASAP.

ATT Unlock Purchase Experiences

Some unlock sites are not playing fair with time lines that are not as advertised. Reviews are deleted daily to hide the fact they do not have codes. However some other providers are crediting purchases if they do not have codes and ask for you to try back. Please give feedback so others do not get stuck fighting for refunds

We don't sell a service we cant deliver, we have unlocked a lot of these phones and they are very hard to unlock which is why they have delays with Nokia. We don't delete every review, we delete the ones that are left by immature clients and think they can use it to speak their anger, it's reviews, NOT A CHAT, and you don't need to send numerous email which is called spamming, we reply to all emails in the order we get them. If you spam you end up in spam making us not see your email. We don’t only have you to reply to unfortunately. This order is being canceled and refunded as you requested.

S6 Edge - Network/Signal Compatibility question.

Hi, currently I'm abroad (in India) and have bought myself an S6 edge (which I'm finding so cool right now only had it for a few hours)
My main question is I'm from the UK and eventually I will be going back in a few weeks and wanted to know will this S6 Edge work normally just as if I bought it from the UK with regards to the network signal strength, 4G signal etc and whether or not SIMs from EE(UK) O2(UK) etc will work?
It's completely unbranded and sim free however I am still not sure.
Model: G925I (can provide rest of base band if needed)
Also in the box this was also included

So all I would need to do is be on a phone call for just over 5 minutes? ^
Also the Official Samsung store where I bought it from assured me that it will work in the UK/Europe.
Finally what kind of signs should I look for to know whether or not my device may be faulty as once I get to the UK I believe the warranty won't work there so being in india is my only chance to make sure I have a good working device before I head back.
Thank you very much for your time.
its pretty clearly written that to use the phone in other region u need to use an indian sim for atleast 5 minutes.
u need to talk to someone for 5mins over phone.
that's it.
the 925i model is an international version too
same model is released in Australia and Malaysia too.so u don't have to worry

Once I've totaled 5 minutes of calling and had to factory reset my phone, would I have to do another call(s) for 5 minutes again?
Thanks for your time.
i don't think so.it's already done..i don't know you if you remember something in Nokia phones.when ever you put ur sim card an auto generated msg forwarded to nokia to let them know that phone is activated from now on.so samsung is using the same technique not by sms though
but just to be sure,u can make another call.
but just to be sure make a call to Samsung India and ask them.

Ah okay thanks, I'll give them a call when I get the chance.
I'm considering the factory reset once i get to the UK to hopefully get rid of things like Google Maps Voice nav being in an indian accent (even though I've changed all voice/text options to English UK in the phone settings) and the Play Store showing paid apps price in rupees.
Hoping that with a factory reset I can setup and choose language options properly.
play store is set up based on region.if you go to UK then it will show in ur currency
Sent from my SM-G925I using XDA Free mobile app
It doesn't
Play store does not automatically change currency when you are in a different country. But who cares this was 3 years ago. I'm on here to find a solution to the joke of the phone signal with Three in the UK. It's an American t-mobile s6 edge unlocked but then locked again 2 years later for no reason by stupid lock tMobile, manage to unlock it after 4 months of Bollocks. So American s6 edge now on three with the most crappiest phone signal possible. Basically it's 1 bar or no signal most of the time ?it's so bad it's funny apart from thinking why am I I paying for this. It's like the trains in UK. Paying stupid money for a service that India trains would be ashamed of. Anyways, anyone had this problem? Any solutions apart from smashing the phone and moving country? Cheers, Aloha ?

Debranding samsung galaxy s8 active

Hi peeps,
I'm from Holland and i bought myself a Samsung s8 active global gsm unlocked from a seller in the usa via ebay. However the phone is branded with at&t firmware and somehow it isn't possible for the phone to find a network here in Holland. When i search manually for a network, it finds the networks which are operating here, but when i try to register onto the network it says that it's impossible to register...
I hope someone can help me with this!
Greetings from Holland
Martin
i search your device and it say it only has 3 variants AT&T
T-Mobile
Sprint
also openline is the right keyword not "Debranding"
in my country openline usually cost $20 US dollar but i guess you can do it yourself by following guides from the internet ?

Well ok... thanks for your reply. Like i said, I'm from Holland, so pls excuse me for not knowing the correct terms. I searched the internet and found some pages in Dutch where i found the term branded phone and debranding, so i figured that is a universal term for it...
I happen to have a T-mobile subscription here in Holland. So it should be possible to use the phone with T-mobile firmware if there isn't a "unbranded" firmware version.
this guy has the same issue with you https://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung/Unlock-instructions-for-Galaxy-S8-Active/td-p/5850469
also this website is worth checking
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
Thanks for your answer. However, the top url doesn't work and i allready tried the bottom one... can't unlock myself via at&t because i don't have a at&t phone nr or account... never had. Can't create an account because they ask for a at&t phone nr which i don't have. I bought the phone on ebay and it was shipped to Holland.
Had contact multiple times with Samsung Europe and they said it would be no problem for me to use the phone here, but it seems that's not the case.
hmmn since most option require you to have at&t mobile# and account which you don't have the only option i see is contacting at&t FB page and say your case ( you just bought the phone on ebay and didn't know its network lock ) who know they might openline it without paying anything ??

I just want the phone to work here... in Holland they stopped selling the active series after the s5 active. I really wanted to have a upgrade for my s5 active so i bought the s8 active because according to samsung it should work fine here in Holland...

Is there someone who can help me with this? I can't find anything helpfull on the internet so far...
I really want my new phone to work here on the Dutch networks but it seems to me it's solely because of the at&t firmware that's stopping me from doing so. Is there any way to get rid of that firmware safely? Personally I'm not interested in the whole warranty thing because since i have this phone shipped to holland, i can't get any warranty with samsung Europe, so for any warranty i have to ship it back to America which i won't do because of the costs that will come with that.
Suggestions/tips are more then welcome!
Some progress
In addition to this subject... been in france with my 'new' phone and inserted my sim-card to see what would happen. Immediately it found a network and I could make calls and use 4g internet. Back in Holland it still works but the reception is poor. Been searching for the right apn settings, found alot of different suggestions and tried a bunch of them. So far so good. When I change something in the apn settings, 4g internet becomes very slow or is entirely gone. It seems I'm on to something here but I can't find out which are the best settings.
I hope someone has more understanding of this problem...
Flashing firmware
Ok so it now seems the at&t firmware is the problem. But is there a save way to flash T-mobile software to the galaxy s8 active? It has bootloader 4 on it
