The actual reality is that you picked two apps that were coded to pause when the user has them open in the background. I haven't tried using youtube and backgrounding it to verify that it doesn't buffer, but that's a bad design decision if so. I don't understand why you wouldn't want a game to...

Nice work. I believe you can go a step further and compare the dual LED to see if the size of the camera unit's hole is the same size as the 920's camera unit (it's square shaped, and the whole camera portion will likely be covered by a circular cap like the 1020.) The seam in the aluminum...

The $60 price point is unfeasible, as is AAA game development as it currently stands-Resident Evil 6 should not have to sell 6 million copies to break even. I want to see game prices come down to $30 to $40 and game budgets to not balloon to crazy levels. That being said, everything in this...

This reads more like something an xbox one enthusiast would write rather than an actual engineer working on the console...especially considering this was sourced from 4chan.

I should mention that the overseas 925 will not be 100% compatible with T-Mobile 3G/4G. It will only work in areas that are refarmed for 1900mhz, as this variant does not have AWS (1700mhz) support that currently makes up the vast majority of their 3G network. As it supports 850/1900mhz 3G, it...

Yes, it will work with AT&T's HSPA+ for sure once you get it unlocked and get the correct APN.

This would be a great suggestion if the nexus 4 didn't have its own set of car bluetooth issues for some people. OP should check to see if other people that own his car/reciever have trouble with the nexus 4.

Expect a lot of replies telling you "don't let the door hit you on the way out." None of my friends have had bad experiences with their 920s, but overall it does seem that WP8 is nowhere near as mature as WP7 is in terms of stability and bugs. Having my phone lock up using bluetooth would drive...

Where do you live? You could've gotten a device in much better condition from ebay or Craigslist for less. Lumia 920s are beginning to hit the $300 and below mark, don't settle for a 25% refund for a clearly abused device.

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do at the moment. One of the big downsides for the WP platform IMO, especially since there are methods on both iOS and android to get around this restriction, but I guess that's the price you pay if you want to be in a secure walled garden. edit: Sorry...

RM-893, the version that will be sold by T-Mobile, supports LTE 700mhz (Band 17) and 1700mhz (Band 4). AT&T uses both of those. T-Mobile currently only uses Band 4. Additionally, this is likely not compatible with Verizon's 700mhz network as theirs is listed as Band 13 and isn't the same as...

The global variant does not support AT&T or T-Mobile LTE, so you will have to buy the T-Mobile version. If unlocking this phone is anything like the Lumia 521 on T-Mobile, even if you pay full price, you will have to keep the phone active on a T-Mobile line for 40 days. I read that T-Mobile will...

If this goes through the same anodizing process as phones like the HTC One and iPhone 5, avoid the black aluminum model if you are bothered by scuffs and chips appearing silver. I typically don't like white phones but I think the white 925 looks pretty classy. Gray is the worst of the 3 colors...

I'm not a big fan of the GS3's screen, it's true that most fonts in WP8 are big and won't show the pentile matrix as easily but I can't say the same about web browsing, which is 80% of what I do on a smartphone. It would be nice if the WP8 browser had an option to invert web page colors because...

Nokia Lumia 925 preview: First look - GSMArena.com I suppose this was to be expected as the 928 also has a pentile screen, but as someone who was planning on upgrading when this arrives in the states, I'm extremely disappointed. It's too bad there isn't a cheap way to get a 920 that supports...
