Lumia 820 Indian Corner

[dinesh84d]

It is 4G enabled but bands are not supported here in India. Don't hold your breath for updates though.

what do you mean?
Once 4G is launched in India. Will I be able to use it by my existing 820 or I'll have to find another phone to use that?

The 4G bands that Lumia 820 supports are not supported by our country carriers so you will not be able to enjoy 4G on your Lumia.
You will have to purchase new phone when 4G launches in India.
Hope it helps and feel free to ask.

Does 820 have three row icons..?

Only phones with a screen 5" or larger will get the three row icons. 820 is 4.3", good screen; but too small for three.

But I heard there is a hack to get 3 columns on any device...

Lumia 820 is an excellent device but it has some cons , first of it has amoled display and low 1650 capacity battery. Try to lower the screen brightness , turn of glance and double tap to unlock feature as these are the main battery sucker , if you are using 3G internet then don't complain it will drain battery much faster when compared to old 2g network , to lower your bandwidth go to settings mobile networks ->highest connection speed. You must be having many apps open in background. If you have gdr3 update with black firmware , long press the back button and you will shown all the open apps in set of cards , press the X button to close the app. Also go to settings ->swipe right ->background task ->block the apps you don't want run in background without your permission. Also note that using whatsapp does suck your phones batTery , whatsapp team is trying their best to solve the problems in upcoming updates.

The green tinge you mentioned is a bug in many lumias after black, try searching for it, there might be a solutions somewhere, its fairly widespread. And frankly, lumias are superb devices, just that 820 has got a ridiculously small battery, so its not nokia/wp 's fault. Most lumias perform pretty well. My 520 has a smaller battery, and with full brightness,2g, double tap to wake, location, WiFi, and lots of usage, it still lasts more than 10-12 hours, and it can run for 20+ hours even. But 820 is a big phone with small battery, so understand...

man check somewhere, there must be a fix... This is a specific problem with pureview phones, many people have experienced it, someone must've found a trick. Otherwise lumias have got by far the best cameras ! If nothing works, go to nokia India site and do an online chat with their customer executives, they might help...

been using L820 for past 4 months and from IND.
running on Black/GDR3..
problems:
1. multiples (X 21 times !!!) names of same file in MUSIC,PICTURES (if clicked via NOKIA CAMERA) and VIDEOS.
2. MUSIC PLAYER bug: when clicked on play a song, it freezes for like 3-5 mins, song starts playing, but the player doesnt open up, cannot control volume in that phase, it literally freezes with song playing.
3. BLUETOOTH : doesnt activate immediately, requires atleast 10-15 seconds to turn on.
4. DISPLAY HEATING: idk why, after continuous moderate usage, screen heats up and it feels irritating.

 

[prasath1234]
