Is it really true that (based on rumours/facts we know so far) that Android apps will run natively on WP10? I thought MS is just giving the tools to devs to enable easy conversion & porting of Android & iOS apps onto Windows Phone?
I'm now choosing between the 830 and the 930 as my first Windows Phone. But both phone seems to have poor front-facing cams for selfies
Without the voice navigation which Maps app is good in giving directions, search for nearby places (cafe, restaurant, cinema, petrol station, etc.)? And would you say these 3rd-party apps have a quick GPS lock to enable me to go somewhere that quick?
Why is there such a limit on ringtones? With Android i can set an entire mp3 song as a ringtone. Is there another good music player that allows the user to set an mp3 song as a ringtone?
Legally yes, developer needs to modify their apps a little and publish it to the Store, but it's hackable to run Android app in preview build until recently.
If you get 930, you get twice the power, but missing glance screen. I don't know but if it's just for selfies, any phone with wide range front facing camera will do, not sure if there are any phone that has a really good front facing camera that's dedicated for selfies, are there?
If you like Google Maps, get Maps from Store, if you like HERE Maps, get it from Store, if you like Windows map, it's built in, it doesn't really matter since the maps and navigation app are separate app. For instance, I usually open built in Maps app, if I can't find what I'm looking for, I open a Google Maps app, select the place, start navigation, then I can choose whether to use HERE Drive+, or Waze, or any other navigation app to guide me there. Yes all apps are quick to locate you since it isn't depends on the app, but on the phone, on all Lumia as with any phone with Qualcomm's SoC, my phone can easily lock me while in train at ~90kph.
Nope there's none, it's an OS limitation, there are much much more limitations in WP compared to Android, apps can't change this, can't change that, you'll be surprised if you are an avid Android power user, as WP is heavily locked down. However it's not really make sense to listen to a 5 minutes song as ringtone, usually you just heard the ringtone for 30 seconds or so then you picked the call or dismissed it. The limitations is ridiculous yes, but probably there's a reason to it.
