Chrome.

an unlocked bootloader

how do i set a background instead of tiles?

>>35633646

you can't.

You also can't set different volumes for alarm/ringtone/call tone.

Does potato phone 8 allow scrubbing in their music player yet?

Does the spotify app have the radio function yet?

Can I control screen rotation?

>>35633598
nokia music's fine, what's wrong with it? are you so Autistic that you need to replace it?

Nokia Music is ok, it's just that I am used to the zune hd ui.

So why does everyone hate the WP8 so hard? Seems like you're just a bunch of Ad hominem autistics from google, but is there actually a legitimate reason why it's BAD?

well they're not really needed, let's face it they don't run into the vast "lag" etc. issues that we see in other phones

>can't change volume for anything individually
muh autism, who really cares i want my text and ring tones to be as loud as they can be, and if i want my application music down then i'll probably not want my ringtone to be loud as fuck too
>can't change sms tone or notification tone
there's like a small assortment of custom tones that come with the phone, same with my HTC One X, i can't change to a custom sms tones without downloading apps to do it for me
>no notification center
that's the scroll down thingy on my HTC thing right? what's the real point of it? i never use it.

not what you want in a phone =/= what everyone else wants in a phone

Microsoft has had a shitty track record in the mobile space since the early days of Windows CE and Windows Mobile. Buggy OS releases, scarce selection of apps, flaky interoperability with desktop Windows programs, etc.

>>35633994
You can change the volume for the text notification? Mine isn't loud at all.
I like the way it is but maybe sometime in the future I would need it to be a bit louder.

Smartphones suck. I'm trying to get rid of mine. When my contract is up, I'm getting a prepaid phone and paying in cash so the feds have trouble traceing me.

>>35634057
The average user isn't as retarded or lonely as you. There's things called text messages that friends send to you for a quick conversation. Friends are those people who act nice to you. Acting nice to you is something you probably don't experience much. The average user gets their fucking tweets and instagram likes and text messages in the notification drawer. Just because you're socially disconnected doesn't mean everyone else is.

No friend, you're not the average user.

You are genuinely retarded.

Anyone who spends 5 minutes with android instantly realizes that the notification center is an integral part of android.

Except you, but then again, there is not much expected from special needs folk such as yourself.

>>35634123
>Doing more work for no reason because no one loves you

>>35633514 (OP)

I don't use a lot of apps, which is one of the reasons I was fine with getting a Lumia 920, 'cause I knew I wasn't going to get all butthurt about not having a ton of shovelware to install on my phone. That said, I use:

BitSynth
mini RSS
Podcast Picker
Amazon Kindle
Skype
World Clock

BitSynth is mostly for my kid to play with. The rest of the apps are for me. I've had the phone since Christmas, and between these apps and the ones that came with the phone, I've been all set.

>>35634137
It's actually easier for me to press and hold the messages icon, and drag it into the ring thingy when i unlock my phone, i just explained that are you blind?

You obviously can't set a background instead of tiles, but you can create custom tiles with an app like Wiztiles Pro. You can do something like pic related.

Is OP still reading this? If so, did you get the 1020 or something else? Was wondering if you liked the 1020. Have a 920 now and was thinking of selling it and buying up.

>>35634390
>implying I use an Android phone, or any smartphone, for that matter
>implying I don't choose what software I run on my computers

I'm eligible for an upgrade and I think i'm going to get the lumia 920. I can't afford the 1020 right now.

Is the 920 still a good phone?

>>35634442
I'd definitely go for it.

If you like the 920 camera, the 1020's is miles better.

925 it is.

>>35634482
>Is the 920 still a good phone?
It was never a good phone. Hence why no one bought it.
