Replacing my Nokia 1520 - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All
I've had my Nokia 1520 for a month and even the 8.1 OS is pants. Its like its 3 years behind android. I found the Oneplus One and selling the Nokia on ebay would probably cover the cost for this One device.
I've had a look at the invite options but thats a load of c4ap. Wheres the best China place to buy this device which will work on the UK EE network?
Any help would be superb.
Cheers

Samsung focus.

Guys I have ordered a new at&t unlocked Samsung focus from Ebay India at $ 300. Phone will be arriving in about five days time.
What do you think about the price considering the specs and the upcoming mango update? Will I be able to update in India?
One more question: in Android we have audio effects in gingerbread. Do we have some audio effects like thing in windows 7 which works on videos as well?

It's easy to upgrade to mango RTM. Lots of info in these forums even if you can't upgrade "officially". As far as the price goes I really have no idea about unlocked phone costs in India. I got mine for $200 on ebay but it's locked to at&t.
Focus is a great phone, you'll love it.

As for me it's pricy. Recently I've bought used Focus (but in perfect shape, like a brand new, screen without any scratches) on ebay for $160 shipped (for India it will be plus $20-25). Also, you may unlock it for additional $20-30 (search forum). So, the right price should be about $200.

Yeah, right (I've got unlock code for free from AT&T; so I didn't follow corresponding topic).

Well, I think $200 is when you have subscribed to at&t plan. When you buy something with a plan contract, the price of the phone is subsidized from the future inflows to the company under the contract plan.

You really got a very good deal. But if we buy something directly from US, we have to pay customs as well. Well I took the decision when I saw Dell venue pro is selling for $550 in India. Moreover, may be, I will be getting a gift phone worth $35 with this deal. In this situation my cost comes down to $265, which is less than half of Dell venue pro price in India.
Andy is releasing his rom and u are moving from O1 ? :O
Jokes apart, that is a good deal if you are in india ... I got my unlocked focus for 220 new but I am in the US ...
You can upgrade to Mango 7720 RTM ... no issues ... lots of threads are available for instructions ... I was able to go all the way from 7004 to 7720 in a few hours ...

Lol! I just bought this to play with windows phone 7. Currently have no plans of selling o1.
CM7 on o1 is pretty good and I hope Andy will be a kickass ROM too. I just love GB audio effects, multi tasking, among other numerous features in Android.
Hope to have first hand experience and comparison between Android and wp7/mango.
Btw, it seems you too have both o1 and focus. I would like to ask a few questions:
1.What is your take on windows 7/ Mango and Android?
2.Audio and audio effects in both OS.
3.Multi tasking?
4. Is Swype keyboard available in mango?
5. Any other thing you would like to point out.

As of today - worth getting a Lumia 800?

Lumia forums here are very quiet but anyone who owns a Lumia 800, considering we might see WP8 announcements/launches in next 2-3 months - do you think it is worth getting a Lumia 800? I don't generally use 'used' phones as I've had bad experiences in past. So might go for a new one. I have HTC Titan currently which I'll sell off along with HTC Sensation XL - HTC is not impressing me on either of these handsets (long story).
Or will the general suggestion be of getting a cheap droid?
One of the plus points I've thought of so far is - Nokia will try and keep these Lumias alive by few more apps every now and then (exclusives) for next 12 months. I am hoping WP8 would have matured enough and I can then get second wave of WP8 devices or a cheaper pureview.
Must admit it is seriously quiet on here, I am going to wait for all the bugs to be ironed out before I go with a wp8 handset and until then will keep my 900 lumias as they do the job nicely, On the plus side there is wp7.8 to look out for in future, I personally would get a near new 800 or 900 to see you through til next year, I picked up a white 900 last month for £285 in near mint condition off ebay and it runs lovely, The 800s are abit cheaper and you could pick up a decent one for just under £200, Failing that I advise you try an N9 as I was really impressed with it, They go New from around £276 and will give you something different to tinker with, The only thing I didn't like about it was I could not sync it with Live calendar and I need that for all my work appointments etc, Great fun though and screen slightly bigger than Lumia 800s

It isn't even just Lumia forums overall WP sections are as good as legacy device sections. But probably quiet before the storm?
I can't find any Lumia 900s for that cheap and 800s are nearly £50 cheaper. I guess I might play a waiting game for a week or so but you are right! Will go for one of the Lumia to take me on to 2013!

I managed to win at auction so was lucky to some degree, Sold my Black 900 as it was abit bland looking and then had enough to get the white one, I did same as you and ditched the Titans lol, Don't think I will be going back to HTC unless they bring out some wp8 phones which would need to be outstanding to tempt me away from Nokia now.

Nah, if you are going to stay with WP when WP8 are launched and you don't mind a bit of bulk, I think it will be worth waiting for Nokia with pure view! Will hands down beat both HTCs hardware and efforts behind WP! I am never lucky with bids (shakes his head!), never! I might have to give it another go and see if I am lucky with any bids at all this time
You are right, for me it has to be cyan or white!

Wait for WP8 to launch and then buy a Nokia WP8 device. Nokia is very good at providing updates for Lumia series. I have Lumia 710 and I am very happy with the device. Very smooth GUI. There are some limitations but yes, they will be shortened in WP8.
I have a different question here, why would you sell your Titan for a Lumia 800? I mean, I'm honestly not seeing what you gain by this, and it would likely cost money. Sure, they'll keep the Lumias alive with special features, but then again - if you want to purchase a new phone anyways, the only logical thing to do would be imho keeping the Titan and going for a WP8 Lumia upon release.
I wouldnt get a lumia right now, with wp8 coming out so soon.

I do need a phone now. WP8 won't be in the market till Nov-Dec 2012 and we are 3-4 months away still. But glad Lumias are working well across the globe!

Switching to a phone from the same generation isnt wise. Its not worth spending money on a Lumia if you already have a WP7.5 device. Lumia are awesome phone undoubtedly though. Buy a WP8 made by Nokia. Perfect !!

i'm betting on the storm for wp8 being loud and short. then a little trickle of a stream like wp7 did. there doesn't seem to be much going on in the wp8 section, either.
maybe the devs are waiting and watching to see if it's viable to spend any resources on it ?
The reason I want to sell HTC Titan is primarily because of call quality and secondly because from 7.8 onwards, Nokia looks like the only one who will be supporting its handset, even if it is by releasing exclusive apps. All other OEMs want you to buy WP8, where as Nokia will do what it did with Symbian, support the lower and the higher end markets equally for long time.
As I said, calm before the storm. No one is active here or anywhere else. WP blogs have dried out. But then WP8 doesn't look like a super hit yet based on leaks. It might be an excellent launch as all loyal Gen1 buyers want an upgrade. But I don't think I want a WP8 from first batch of launch. I am planning on Lumia 800/900 so that I have a WP7.8 handset that will be supported till 2013 summer by when second gen WP8 might be launched and will hope WP9 doesn't kill WP8 by no update path again. Can't see how I will react if WP8.8 scenario comes in 2013!
I gots my Lumia 800 a few weeks ago, free, with a 1 year plan. In those situations it's Definately worth getting it. Most Android or iOS offerings are at least twice as expensive and often offer a lesser user experience than my Lumia does, and this is in comparison with a Galaxy S3. Of course WP7.5 has it's flaws, but after 1 year i'm free to pick up a new device with my contract and I'm up for picking up an ironed out WP8 device then.
WP7.8 might lack a few features that WP8 will get, but 99.99% of those Nokia will fill in with their own apps. Like the datacounter application and so on. Even today the Lumia 800 is a seriously good device and once you learn how to handle the battery, it's still one of the best phones out there.
Don't get me wrong, if you would be stuck with it for a longer time after WP8 is available, you will feel like you miss out on stuff after a few months. But for year or even 1.5 years it's definately a good buy.
You getting a Lumia , i am going to have Titan 2... and we are both buying WP8... what a coincidence .

Don't worry, it's summer time mayne! We WP7 are quiet during the summer because we're out enjoying it...you know what it is all about, it's the WP lifestyle: get in, get out, get on with your life I'll be getting a new WP8 next summer as well, in the meantime every WP device will do, be it a Titan or what else, I don't expect much after 7.8 anyway...

I'm in a similar situation found a deal on another hd7 for $50, and a woman wants to rid herself of a lumia 900, she says offer her anything, she's moved on to a iPhone.
I want to try 7.8 for a while, but the damn app issue is killing me. There are no substitutes for my daily apps. I'm even willing to give up Google Now for a while, and I use it constantly.
My daily must have apps;
Tapatalk - board express is one hell of a joke
mSecure- absolutely no alternative
G+
Gtalk- I can use the alternative
YouTube- need I explain the preloading features?
Currents- alternatives?
That's just the top 5, please help me.

Certainly true, but I'd expect most if not all of them to be ported to other phones and I'm not sure the costs of this same-gen change would make this switch reasonable.

Sounds nice but i wouldn't want to dump all my information into a unofficial app. Plus, mSecure functionality trumps this. Have you seen mSecure in action, the way it handles syncing and the way you can view and use your passwords? I can post examples if you like.

I had metrotube last year on my old HD7, might have to settle for that. Preloading has me spoiled.
I can go back to using Pulse to replace Currents. Everything else is a huge downgrade. Like no TV apps(Google TV), none of my games, etc.
Its a ton of trade offs, but I just want to try 7.8.
Damn I hope developers take advantage of native coding in WP8.

Idk. Now that I have my TF300 I've been using google stuff extensively again, but honestly there's such a huge family feeling with WP right now, after using it for 8 months. I get more functionalities and all the fancy stuff with Android, but my PHONE is too personal for me, and now I can't live without the feel of warmth that WP offers me throughout the UI. Everything became like a part of me, and even if WP8 won't be able to face the competition I'll still be hooked anyway. No matter what, even JB feels COLD to me. IDK if it's the design, the functionality of the few basic things we have or what. I just can't think about myself using something else daily at this point. Am I nuts? Maybe it's just the bit of vodka I had tonite, but still...

I think if i would be able to install ubuntu on it it could be a nice deal, what do you think? anything i sould know b4 buying the X8 for that price?

8x pretty much has no development going on at all. We don't even have a generic US rom available yet.

you'r talking about "rom" for the 8x i just wonder is it somting that the provider is installing over the stock windows 8? as in israel one can not sell LOOKED phones all phone must work with all providers. not realy sure what you are saying about "rom" with windows 8? isn't it somting that bilong to MS?

i'm just so disappointed with the lack of development for the 8x. It has already reached EOL and we have nothing for it.
I might flip it on ebay for $200 depending on how much the new nokia 925 costs when it's released in the US

Can't decide what phone to get next

So I have a Galaxy S4 I've had for a year (before that I had the S3) with Verizon and I'm really tired of this locked bootloader crap. I'm kind of on a budget, so I could use some advice.
I really just want a phone that's as close to stock as possible and can be easily rooted/flashed. So, ideally a Nexus 5 or 6. I also saw HTC phones and Motorola phones on Verizon's web site, but I don't know if those phones are locked or not.
I would like to trade in my old phone and sign up for a contact as leverage, as I can't afford paying too much. Any advice would be appreciated.
On a budget, get a used phone from last year off eBay or here on Swappa, and you won't even have to re-up your contract. HTC M7, LG G2, Moto X (especially Developer Edition), one of the Droids. They should all be rootable, but I can't speak individually for unlocked bootloaders.

Thanks for the recommendation I'll check it out. I'm most interested in Nexus, HTC, LG, or Moto. Would I be able to trade in my S4 for some value?
I suggest you to go for HTC M8. This device is really stylish.
This device
1. Feels nicer to hold.
2. Knock on feature.
3. seems faster
4. Takes a micro sd card.

The problem with HTC M8 is the camera, otherwise would be a great choice. I have the oneplus one and I am really happy.

you can have a contract plan ,then cellphones is relatively cheaper .as for online shopping ,
you need to ask them for details if their cellphones are unclocked or not to avoid any
trouble .
Oneplus one...had some invites...all shared ;p
+1 for OnePlus One, great phone for cheap price.
People say the nexus has terrible battery life, so accordong to this, I wouldn't recommend you to buy one. I'd recommend you to buy a moto g though, since it's actually a smaller version of a nexus, and allegedly has better battery life, but more of that I'd recommend either an htc one m8 or an lg g3, if your wallet can handle the price. Now, about off-contract, I'd suggest the oneplus one, because it's a flagship killer and it's relatively cheap, as said above.
I recommend the LG G3...the bootloader can be sort of unlocked via Bump, but the LG Rom is pretty close to stock, doesnt add too much extras. It has a great camera and awesome screen, SD Card and removable 3000mAh battery. It's a nice phone! I will agree that Nexus phones have very poor battery life, but you can install just about anything on them in terms of ROMs. If sticking with GSM, the OnePlus One is nice too but I'm not sure where that company is going with CyanogenMod and OnePlus on the fritz. They will probably have to develop their own rom in the future, unless you want to load the CyanogenMod version, which you can do that too. Moto X phones are good, battery life would still be my concern, but its as close as stock as you can get besides nexus.
I'm probably going to look at the MotoX or droid Turbo.. I'll check out the OPO. I guess I have some hw to do. I'm using Verizon's edge plan, and I don't think that's a traditional contract. I also need to look at and see what kind of development is going on for each of these devices.
People mentioned eBay and Amazon.. Are there any sites that are specifically for buying/trading used phones?

The problem with HTC M8 is the camera, otherwise would be a great choice. I have the oneplus one and I am really happy.

I agree with you. I have also noticed that the camera quality of HTC devices is relatively low than Samsung devices.

In the UK considering the v10 but BootLoop looks scary!

Hi All,
I am on an HTC One M7 and i am now looking for an upgrade and the v10 appears to offer everything i want (Audio, Camera, Removable Battery and SD Card) and at the moment its a very good price with the v20 having come out.
However....
oh my...
This BootLoop issue...looks pretty bad.
What do you think buy a v10 or run a mile?
cheers!

My G4 boot looped so insurance replaced it in uk and have a new one. Best phone of 2015 and also hard to beat in 2016 too as the camera is so good. Ordered a v10 from eBay.com as they are so cheap in USA and hope I get lucky ,?
Im thinking i am going to go for it...
Any idea which model of the V10 is best for the UK? I am currently on o2.
Considering buying from here:

As I see 95% of devices suffering bootloop are from US and some Korea, haven't seen much/any from EU. Maybe I am mistaken. So if you take some 5% of faulty devices that is not alarming, any manufacturer have some defect units.
Any ways price you posted is bargain! I cannot find it under 420 euro in Serbia or any neighbor country.
