    Internet sharing on T-Mobile (US) - has anyone gotten it to work with the ATIV S??

    Tried following the instructions on the similar AT&T internet sharing thread, downloaded (both) Samsung APN apps, tried a variety of apn settings (epc.tmobile.com, fast.t-mobile.com, pcweb.tmobile.com) but can't seem to get internet sharing to work! I called T-Mobile and they confirmed that, on...

    Solved: Lumia 920 screen turns dark when calling

    Thank you for this info - 've had my lumia920 for a month now and this is the first time this has happened to me. Taking a frontfacing camera photo did the trick and all is working fine again.

    Whoo hoo! Samsung Ativ S (Rogers) unlocked and running on TMobile 4G!

    @12Danny123: the theme colour is 'Steel' @soxoh4: I've had a chance to play with the AtivS and my Lumia920 side by side now. My personal opinions: Screen brightness - about the same. The 'autobrightness' though I think is off on my Lumia920 - it is too dim. I know that this isn't the case...

    Whoo hoo! Samsung Ativ S (Rogers) unlocked and running on TMobile 4G!

    Finally managed to get an Ativ S off contract yesterday over lunchtime (called up a local Roger store in Calgary and they had literally just opened up their first shipment of 5 phones). Bought off contract, flew down to San Diego that afternoon, and surprised my husband with the early Xmas gift...

    Will my USA AT&T Lumia 920 work in New Zealand?

    jfmanzo: I believe sirwannabe stated that his sister would be getting a Lumia920 on AT&T. The 920 sold by AT&T is NOT pentaband: it is only quadband and lacks the 1700MHz frequency (not an issue in NZ with the carriers PhantomNZ listed though). Even flashing the ROM with a non-AT&T rom will...

    Where to buy the fatboy charger

    I ordered two Fatboy pillow chargers for the Lumia less than 2 weeks ago on Expansys-USA - I was expecting a series of delays and postponements to the shipping date, but surprisingly they notified me that they shipped out today!

    Are Charging Plates Still Backordered?

    That's odd... I ordered charging stands (black) easily online (which were showing availability on AT&T's wireless accessory section online just like the plates) and they shipped out within a few days - I got them within a week of ordering. That was just less than 2 weeks ago. I just ordered...

    I got a Lumia 920 on TMobile USA

    Not sure what you mean by the 'new Rogers 920 wouldn't support 1700'? All Rogers Lumia920s have the 1700 band. The only thing you have to be careful of though is to never flash it with an AT&T ROM as reports are that that somehow permanently blocks the 1700 band (as it appears to also happen...

    Pulled from Amazon?

    You also need to account for returns of defective phones too, of which there seem to be quite a few in these early production batches. I have no idea what the numbers are - maybe 5-10%? I know that of the 5 Lumia920's between myself and my friends that we bought, 2 had to be returned and...

    Lumia 920 frequent freeze

    You should do a hard/factory reset (if you can) and install the minimum apps you need ie. mail sync etc. If it still freezes even just once, you need to return it or contact Nokia to get it exchanged. I had one (of four)) lumia920's that froze every 12-16hrs. Turned out to be a defective...

    Lumia 920 Rogers vs MS Store

    Actually, the phone is only $549 at the Rogers store too (I know because I've bought 4 Lumia920's in the last 3 weeks, all at Rogers stores). That's the price to buy to get on the month-to-month (no annual contract). You can then opt for the $27/mo (cheapest) voice+message plan (no data) when...

    Need help dealing with Rogers Store. What would you do?

    Greg: Sounds like your wife's definitely is defective. I bought 3 from Rogers stores - the first one I bought (on Nov15 I might add) had the lockups - almost every 16hrs or so. Nokia Twitter Support worked with me to try it with different apps on/off and we eventually realized it was...

    My 920 died.. decided to return and maybe pick one up in a few months time

    I had a defective unit (purchased from Rogers, Canada) - froze every 12-16hours even after I finally took off all the apps. Put up with it for about a week before returning it. Got 2 other Lumia920s (also from Rogers) since and both have been absolutely flawless so far. There are definitely...

    Does Nokia Music REPLACE Xbox Music on Lumias?

    One issue I have with playing my .mp3 music files with Nokia Music is that I can't figure out how to 'fast forward' during a song. Has anyone figured this out? Using the Xbox music app, you can press+hold on the forward or back buttons to fast forward/reverse. This doesn't seem to work with...

    Rogers Lumia920 - definitely new revised batches coming out

    Just purchased my third Lumia920 today (Rogers, Calgary Canada). This was from a new shipment that arrived on Friday. There were definitely some changes from the Lumia920's I bought just the week before, and the one I bought the week before that. The first and second Lumia920's were carrier...
