What can you do on the natwest banking app?
Can you transfer cash etc?

Any other banking apps?
Is that Barclays current account or cpbarclays credit card?

I am not sure about the Natwest app, as I don't bank with them.

RBS have a app in the market place. HSBC have also confirmed that a banking app is on route.

The Barclays will be the same as what's in the app store / google play I believe.

I have been noticing a few interesting things since my Yellow 920 has arrived. The battery life seems much better than my white handset. Also the vibrate function doesn't sound broken, like it does on my old one.

Time to sell the old phone, now.

popped into the EE shop @ Victoria yesterday, picked up a wireless charging plate for 19.99!!
They have a promotion on, get it for the above price and get 4 payg sims with a fiver on each of them so it is free in a way..

That's really good, I may pop into a EE shop and pick up another one.

Wow, that's great news. The App gap looks to be closing slowly but surely.

Instagram / SkyGo to go......

It looks like another firmware update on due soon.

Winp.cn reports that the latest firmware for the Nokia Lumia 920 on Navifirm offers a new utility and feature – the ability to clean out temporary files.

The firmware 1232.5957.1308.1004, which can be loaded via the Nokia Care Suite, will allow users to manually clean out temporarily files, but will also do it automatically at timed intervals.

It is not clear if this is Microsoft or Nokia’s work, but the colourful graphic does suggest to me Nokia is once again saving Microsoft’s bacon.

Hopefully the new firmware will roll out rapidly to affected users.

Also, Instagram maybe a Nokia exclusive for a while from some rumors.

Any way to tell if its network locked?

Just test another SIM in it.

RSR · 5 Mar 2013 at 20:49

I have just tested a handset from Vodafone and that's completely simfree.

Just before I buy, is the camera that good?

IMO. It's the best camera / video phone on the market at the moment, well until project "EOS" arrives.

Not sure if anyone can answer this query...

I got a Black 920 from Phones4U in November last year, it's on EE but I don't seem to have the Portico update.

Any idea on how I obtain it (phone update says i'm upto date?) how long till i get it - seeing as EE handsets seem to be getting it!

I thought it has been released, from looking at various sources. Can anyone else on EE confirm.

I did write a how-to guide earlier in this thread to flash a phone via Nokia Care Suite.

Just updated to 1232.5957.1308.0004

RSR · 16 Mar 2013 at 13:15

I'd remove the sim, imei and MAC numbers if I where you.

Any improvement on the battery life Andy? I'm still dealing with random battery drain. Some days I get home from work with 70-80% battery, which is great, others, it's nearly dead when I leave the office at 5:30. I still haven't been able to work it out. A restart always fixes it if I notice it's draining quickly, but I can't pin down the cause.

I never seem to have any problems with battery life to be honest. However, that said I am not what I would class a heavy user. Id say the average daily usage is around 30mins / 1 hour phone calls, few texts, 2/3 hours web use and around 2/3 hours music use. The phone itself seems to last about 1/2 days normally.

Sell it and buy a Android / N4 handset then.
