I have had my Lumia 920 for over a month now and love almost everything about it. I had an Iphone than switched to Android when the T-Mobile Mytouch surfaced and owned several more nexus phones. I've loved what those platforms had to offer but I am always looking for the next best thing. Now, my windows experience. The phone is great in all aspects but I have come across the following issues. If anyone can help with these or have a solution that woud be awesome.
Here is what I have discovered:
The original calendar when viewed in full month mode does not show your appointments in english (not sure what language it is) but none the less I can't read it. I did download another calendar app that does not have this issue but I like the live tile for it and it does not allow me to edit as well as original calendar app installed with the luma 920. I was hoping the update would solve this as I have seen other posts stating the same but it did not.
I would like to have different volume controls for media and phone. As of now the phone volume controls everything. Also I seem to only have the option of ringer on or off from the main screen when I push volume up and down. I would like a third option for vibrate. There are many times I have this in my pocket in areas I cannot have volume and would love to put it in vibrate mode from this simple process.
When I miss a call I would love an app or part of original software that would allow the capacitive buttons to continuosly blink so I know I missed a text or phone call (especially when my phone is in silent mode).
When I remove my Lumia 920 from the charger plate or place my phone on it a noise is generated. I would like to be able to disable this. I sometimes pick up my phone off the charger and the noise wakes my wife in the middle of the night. This brings me to my next problem and usual reason for me lifting the phone off my charging stand....
When I run my alarm app or clock app the capacitive buttons stay lit all night long. I have tried many apps but they all do the same when in the charging stand. The apps offer the option of dimming the clock which is great but when the capacitive buttons are lit all night lighting up my room is does no good. I am not sure if this is a software issue or an app developer could fix this. I have seen many complaints on the apps themselves for this issue but no one from what I have seen has been able to fix this. I love using my phone as my alarm clock and/or clock but this ruins it for me.
Would like an app tile showing date/time that i could put on my live tile screen. The current date/time you have to pull down from top of screen and it disappears. I have seen something like this kind of tile on the HTC phone but not for Nokia.
In the "people" section of the phone I would love an option to delete from the "recent" section. Currently if you long press on one of the tiles it just gives you an option to pin to start or edit. If you could add delete to this option I would again be very happy.
I was hoping for some of these issues to be added/corrected in the latest update but they were not. I love this phone but if I am going to convince my Android and Apple friends to convert its little things like this thatmake it difficult. If these issues were corrected I think this would be the greatest device I have used to date. I can deal with the lack of certain apps (there are always others that compare) but functionality is what I need.
If anyone knows any solutions to the above mentioned items I would appreciate the feedback! This forum is awesome and I enjoy reading it everyday. Nokia if your listening please put these in your next update and let the windows world take off!
