    Would you like to be a bit more concise then?

    Your right it is, but it is a Nokia product, and it is them that are playing catch-up in the market. Thanks for your reply.

    No, because they were so slow off the blocks in the smart phone sector in the first place. Not including the call record feature, that they had on earlier phones, is a missed opportunity. It is a very usefull feature, particularly in business, and it is something already resolved for most other manufacturers.

    Still clearly blind to the point.

    I have the Lumia 925 a month now. Amazing phone but has anyone else experienced poor signal strength/dropping calls? Any fixes to this problem?

    Have you tried turning on and off flight mode, this improves performance/reception. Also there were firmware and software updates released lately which ironed out some performance issues if you go into settings and into "about" your OS version should be x.x.xxxxx.78 and firmware xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.2004, if not these go into phone update and check for them. This greatly improved the performance of mine (which was having the same issues).

    Got a software update today, which I wasn't expecting as I only bought mine 3 weeks ago and it already had Amber. Any idea what it was?

    Was hoping we'd start to see the Vodafone 4G roll out soon.

    Did you have to change anything on the phone? Or did you have to change contract with Meteor?

    I'm on eMobile (same network), and 4G has not yet been enabled.

    Ahh. 4G can be selected as highest download speed, but your network doesn't show a 4G connection?
    If so, that's the same as me. I thought you had been lucky and got a 4G connection just as part of the software update.

    Thanks for the info.

    The man in the shop told me that you'd have to see out your current contract anyway before you'd be even offered the 4g.

    He is talking crap then I moved to 4G today I have it working, your plan changes to the 4G when your current tariffs billing date is due and you can use 4G straight away

    Back plate is a tiny bit loose, should I be worried? Its meant to be removable isn't it?

    When entering email addresses, there's a button with '.co.uk' in it, how do I change it to '.com'?

    settings => keyboard => add, select English US, then optionally remove the UK keyboard or leave both there so that you can change between the two on the fly whenever the keyboard pops up. Back to .com as default.

    on a side note, i was messing around with my old htc diamond 2 last night, i had forgotten how truly terrible windows mobile, and the keyboard especially, had become by the 6.5 release.

    You can just tap and hold the. Co. UK and other options pop up.
    The backplate should not be loose, it's not removable for the consumer so to speak.

    Is there any way to get an English Ireland keyboard? It'd be handy to have a .ie flyout option on that button.

    I could almost swear that my old HD7 (running WP7) had a .ie keyboard button at one point, but I can't remember if it was a special IE keyboard layout or if it was a mod O2 had made to the handset. Disappeared with WP8.

    Hi 925 users. I'm using Whatsapp group chats a lot on my Lumia 800 (WP 7.8) and it has the annoying bug that when group chats are silenced I don't get notifications and need to constantly check for new messages.

    Do you know if this is the same on the 925 and WP8 ?

    I'm unsure if its a shortcoming of the platform or Whatsapp itself.

    Thanks

    @ChewyLuey Notifications have been fixed in WP8 with latest GDR releases, also Whats App itself is very good and consistently getting updates
