Ok, I'm presuming this is a setting or something I'm not seeing.
Go to phone, hit contacts and it brings up people, I have loads of people on twitter, Facebook, Gmail etc, I don't seem to be able to just view the ones with phone numbers, after all why would I need to see a twitter contact with no mobile info from the phone?

Also, when bringing up the dial pad there doesn't seem to be the ability to type on a name on it and it bring up contacts.

These two to me are pretty big issues tbh..
I'd also like arrows on my keypad when typing and a way to get rid of the keyboard..

When I first got my phone, it took me nearly an hour 'linking' everyone in FB, Hotmail, Twitter into a single contact. It's a simple process but I had loads of contact. Tap a contact and tap the 'chain' on the bottom to link them together e.g. "John Smith" from FB is linked to my Hotmail/email contact "J. Smith" and his twitter "smithy".

You can filter them via settings under 'people' tile, I filtered out facebook pals I don't have linked contacts e.g. acquaintances.

I use my people tile to go find people to call, it's quicker. Tap tile, tap letter "A", select contacts letter and tap the picture to immediately call.

There is a speed-dial app on marketplace, forgot the name as I tried it ages ago. You'll have the ability to use T9 contact search.

As for arrows? Never thought I needed it... just hold on screen, move cursor to where I want?
 
The two keyboard things I could get used to, the lack of T9 search and contact thing are pretty major though imho...
 
The people hub is there to bring together all your contacts to provide an easy way to communicate with them. As such it allows you to find someone and then select how you want to communicate with them (phone, sms, facebook chat, skype, etc.), it is not a phone book.

You're not going to like me for saying this, Trig, but why not try using the phone for a couple of days and get used to how it works instead of moaning about every little thing that doesn't work exactly like some other device.
Windows phone wasn't built to exactly copy the features of Android/iOS/whatever, and if you're finding so much stuff that is 'wrong' with the OS then face it, you bought the wrong device.

I know what the people hub is for, I had similar on my DHD, the thing is I think they might have gone a bit to far away from phone and to much into social media device..
As for liking or disliking, doesn't bother me either way, everyone is entitled to an opinion I'm not going to take it personally if you voice yours...
 
Does anyone on EE know how to make the Deezer subscription activate? When I try and put it in on the Deezer website it says that it doesn't recognise the phone number ...
 
I received my replacement yellow handset from Nokia yesterday which they said would be brand new and boxed.
Well it was not...It came in a brown sleeve no box, instructions etc.
On top of that it had fine scratches all over the back and where the usb charger plugs into.
The cherry on top is that it had an active sim card still in it...
I sent Nokia an email and they said oh the phone is new, passed all our tests etc...
Forgot to mention there was also a light leak which is noticeably apparent in darkness.
Anyway i have had enough of Nokia and i asked for a refund to which they agreed to.
I will be getting the HTC One instead from Clove.
This whole Nokia Lumia experiment has been nothing but a pain and one i won;t be revisting anytime soon...

What's your name? Email in trust if you don't want to post it on the forum.

You click the trust button underneath my post. Fill out your trust info and then close it. Press the button again and it will enable you to email me without seeing my email address.

Just interested in seeing your case is all.

Alternatively post it here and then edit it out once I've got it.

RapDialer seems to do what would be expected from a dialer without it venturing into a Social Hub..

All I want now is a decent live tile that shows me the weather, preferably with a clock on it ala the HTC Sense front end would be really nice...
 
I think I'm just about done with this phone now. Generally it's a great phone, and I *really* like WP8, but I'm plagued with this issue of it suddenly dying and requiring a soft-reset. Started to happen more and more frequently, and neither Nokia or MS seem to want to talk about it.

There are a few other things I miss, like a file explorer (not being able to copy files like music from my server, over wireless, is frustrating), and Plague Inc :) otherwise I was happy to make do.

I've just done a full reset, and it's last chance saloon for the 920. One more death (resulting in my alarm not working when it dies overnight) and it'll be heading for the bay and I'll head back to Android.
 
I feel sorry for you. I haven't had a single technical problem, restart, crash etc. In two weeks. I guess you've tried getting the handset completely replaced rather than fixed?
 
Yeah, all Nokia want to do is take it in for a factory re-install, and I've read quite a few stories of people who've taken that route and end up with another bug (usually the phone screen going blank when a call is in progress, so no way to use the touchscreen/tones for menus etc).

Another show-stopper for me is the unit's inability to sync against a time server. I mean come on, is this 1980? Read different reports about it being to do with carriers implementations, but no other phone has given me this problem. Combined with the dying/soft-reset "bug" and one day earlier this week I had to reset the date/time FOUR times. That must be a software issue, and if they can't get such a simple thing right I do worry.

Like I said it's a real shame, as I do love this phone when it works, and no other usage bugs - picking it up to check my emails or make a call and finding it "dead" and needing a soft-reset, then having to redo date/time, all before I can USE the thing - easy to fall out of love with it :)
