hmm do some research on the rom you are running. it's possible H+ or 4g = LTE. a lot of phones from asian market H+ or 4g = LTE on the phone. coz LTE technically is still 4g. i know on my note 2 running n7105 rom right now H+ = LTE i confirmed it doing a speedtest.

I put mines on max 3G but it still jumps to 4G from time to time

LTE sucks balls in Vancouver, constant jumping from 3G to LTE = no battery life

I think you are right terkan. My 4G probably also includes LTE. I'll ask NokiaHK for further clarification.

Does this look like LTE speed? I did this test in Richmond. I only had 2 bars out of 5.

For 2 bars and during lunch time, yeah, that's LTE for sure. And those are pretty impressive speeds for peak hour traffic!

My brother's phone always seems to stay on LTE. He's up at SFU most of the day in lecture halls and in labs. It will only ever fall back on to 3G when he makes a phone call (naturally.)

Its not bad if I stay at one place but when I travel through downtown and Vancouver to get home; holy shit, my network logo was like playing roulette. Doesn't help when my house only gets edge until I walk 20m away from it.

Same with my brother. He's either at Burnaby, Surrey or Downtown campus but he hasn't complained of any problems where the network bounces back and forth.

You should switch to Bellus.

Or get an iPhone

So, I tested out the 1080p recording with the Lumia at the Muse concert tonight. The sound, spectaularly amazing - no distortion as reported by various users on WP central. Video though, when zoomed up, it's not the greatest. I suppose you can't expect much from a far away zoom for video quality.

yeah i wouldn't expect anything from the video really

the camera in the N8 is better (aside from ois) but even that with concert filming zoomed in, meh audio is $ though

havent tried my 808 in a concert but i hope it fairs much better

So a Lumia 1000 looks more and more certain to be announced at MWC with the Nokia 808 pureview camera sensor in it


Nokia teases with this image, similar to how they did with the 808, on their facebook page today

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater



and asking "Can you spot the guys ice fishing in front of Nokia HQ? ;-)"



edit: supposed false alarm

Nokia Lumia 1020

The Lumia 1020! the 808 pureview camera in a Lumia shell without the 808s thickness


It's getting revealed officially today but Nokia has been leaking info about it for awhile now using its viral leaking persona Vizileaks


Here's some cursory info before the reveal later this morning


There is still a hump but its not as thick







comes in 64gb supposedly and no microsd slot -_-



This is an Accessory attachment which gives you a Hand Grip+battery pack in 1 the grip contains a 2000mah battery

So this isn't exactly the 808s Sensor

The sensor in the 1020 is smaller than the 808s sensor its 1/1.5" instead of 1/1.2" and its a new generation BSI sensor :/ but the 1020 has OIS and an extra lens element and its f2.2

Pretty much any nokia device... they have the most pull in terms of apps, as they have their own app section within the store. The 1020 mentioned above sounds nice!

The 1020 is pretty much the exact same as any other WP8 phone. Its basically a Lumia 920 with a 41MP cam strapped to the back.
A small difference is the screen. The 1020 uses AMOLED vs the 920's IPS LCD. I find that the colors are not as accurate, but it is fine for the average user.
The only thing I miss is the integrated wireless charging. You need a wireless charger back-cover adapter for the 1020.
The camera in the 1020 is a beast. Really good low light performance. And this is equipped with a Xenon flash vs LED on the 920. Using the 1020 as a digi cam drains the battery pretty quick.
If you like taking pics and videos with your phone, this is the best choice.

That's pretty much all I have noticed for the couple of days I have used it. I had the 920 before the 1020. Now im using the 1520.

Hope this helps.
