Got my White Lumia 930 yesterday and am over the moon with it. It had the slight purple screen tint issue but I just removed the Nokia Display App which seems to badly calibrate the display and all is well. Ill re-install it when the fix arrives which should be soon apparently.
Really disappointed that it is not shipped with headphones, but over the moon with the wireless charger supplied in the box, that's 4 I've got around the house now !!
My 1520 is in the draw and not being used for the first time since I got it in January, for how long who knows but at the moment the 930 is the main attraction and as long as the battery life isn't as bad as some people say it could stay that way.

How did you remove the display app if it's embedded in the settings menu??

I set my date to the latest available in the date/time settings. Then went to the settings and I selected the Nokia display app and it gave me the option to uninstall. Rebooted the phone and selected not to automatically updates apps from the store Easy as that !

That's weird I've never seen anything on WP before in uninstalled from the embedded settings menu. From the app menu yes but never settings before. So now display is normal??

The display is fine now, to be fair it wasn't that bad when I got it but knowing it could be cured by removing an app I just had to do it. Like I said ill re-install when the update is pushed out.
I got the tip on WP Central where a few people are complaining about the display calibration

You didn't have the tint issue with your display did you ? you said you had a different issue, and I don't know if removing the display app would have remedied that. I'm well pleased with mine at the moment and battery life has been pretty good so far and I'm expecting it to improve with a couple of charges. Top phone and a top OS that's only going to get better.

Congrats Lemmy - I hope you'll enjoy it  are there any differences to Lumia 1520 if you don't mind me asking? (Aside from the size obviously) |

Thanks Aussie
No differences at all really but obviously the size does make it easier to handle and use. The battery has been very good for me so far, I have easily got over a days usage without having to recharge and this should only increase hopefully
I think that overall the 1520 is the better handset but its size alone would alienate most people. The thing I'm missing most from the 1520 is the Nokia glance screen, hopefully they'll implement it on the 930 one day although I've read that the 930 doesn't have enough display memory to run this, so maybe not.
I'm not a massive "App" fan as long as I have a decent music player, offline satnav , an app to keep up the with Gooners and latest world news stories and can get my emails I only need another half dozen apps to keep me happy so the 300,000 or so in the WP8 app store is easily enough choice for me.
I sold my G3 to buy this, I haven't been a fan of Android for 2-3 years now so it was no big loss for me. The G3 is the best Android I've used but I wont miss it or Android at all.
I'm looking forward to any Lumia 1020 successor for my next handset. Hopefully MS will not waste the R&D that went into that and release a worthy upgrade soon

Congrats Lemmy, enjoy it!
Hopefully there will be both a Lumia 1020 and 1520 successor, it would be such a waste by MS not to make them as both were well differentiated devices from all the Droid and iOS stuff, looks like MS will only unveil the Lumia 730 and 830 at IFA, which is good as they've left a gap in the mid end.
Is the 930 using the same Camera HW as the 1520? Would you say the results from 930 are the same as from the 1520 camera?
Phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max Black Ti 512GB
Tablet: iPad Pro 11” 2020 Space Gray 256GB

Thanks Tsepz
I believe that the two handsets share the same camera. I really haven't had a good chance to try the camera out yet.
I had to return my white 930 this morning, it developed a really irritating clicking noise from the back cover. Not a massive issue but I knew it was there and after 2 days I don't expect build quality issues. P4U didn't have any white in stock and although I could have waited and got one ordered I decided to go for the black version. They had a green one in stock also and although the Green and Orange are very striking I think that they're a bit "young" for an old fella like me ! I'm getting very conservative in my old age.

Although I am getting quite old myself I would gave gone for the orange just to feel young again , ha, ha
Sorry to hear you had problems with the first 930 -hopefully 2nd time you will be luckier . I believe that 930 and 1520 have the same camera. I didn't know 930 doesn't have the knock on- kinda love that hopefully it will come with a future firmware. Also it would be interesting to read how the battery life is
And speaking of wp 8.1 and apps one that I couldn't live without if I was to give up on android us sky go/mobile tv (especially now with the premier league season under way). It us a shame sky hasn't built an app for wp 8.1 yet especially since there are less models of cpu/gnu on wp 8.1 so I believe it would be easier to maintain. Even the sky sports news up is inferior to the it's android counterpart. Still I am constantly using it just in case they are monitoring somehow how many wp users are out here

Fair comment on the Sky Go App, that is one I will miss but Hey Ho id rather use Windows Phone without Sky Go than Android with. To be honest if there are any important footie games on then I'm either at home or if not ill find a local to watch it. If BT start to show more PL games then the Sky Go app may become redundant anyway.
