Awful app had been crashing constantly on my 930 the past few days  My 930 received an update a couple of days ago and I am now a proud user of Cortana. I love this thing. I'm in the UK and have been waiting for this quite sometime

Is really annoying the regional lock on some apps, like Tetra Lockscreen wich is a garage app and free. They really need to take that out, mostly because loads of users don't know that you can just change your region and get away with it. I've been using US as my region and english-us as my phone's launguage so I can use cortana since it won't be out in Spain until 1st quarter 2015

I switched to US to try Cortana, switched back to Canada and it disappeared again. Any reason not to just leave it on US?

I really wish that if I tap a text notification it didn't spin up yet another Messaging instance. It might explain why Messaging is the biggest battery hog going right now.

Is there a way to sort music by what is on the device? Or to tell it to only stream on WiFi unless I specifically request an album?

The closest option is toggle off the connect to streaming music option, this will cut off all of the music you have stored in the cloud. I think the idea is that if you want to not stream then download the albums locally.

I got a "critical update" from developer preview on my 920, and now my power and camera buttons do not work, though volume works fine. My google fu turns up nothing, and I did a factory reset of my phone and they still aren't functioning. Any ideas?

I'm seeing this too -- hopefully they fix it soon because my battery life keeps going to poo poo unless I clean all the Messagings out of the task manager regularly. They do seem to have finally fixed the bug where the phone loses its place in my music if I leave it paused all day, so that's good. Been seeing that one since the original 8.1 DP.

My wife really liked her windows phone, but when she lost it we replaced it with an iPhone. I personally like iOS and found it convenient that we both were using it. It's time for her to get a new phone and I'm sick between the iPhone 6 and lumia 930. Have any of you that have switched from iOS have any reasons why you really like wp? Also anyone running two types of phone OSes in your home and have found ways to still have synergy together?

What kind of stuff are you doing between your phones that required both have the same OS? My girlfriend had an iPhone for a while, and once a good Snapchat client came out for WP there stopped being any kind of divide between our phones caused by their OSes.

We would share pictures and apps. For instance, it was extremely convenient to use a shopping list app that updated on both our phones so when I had to go, I knew what she wanted. THere was also the potential for more things we could do, such as Airdrop (she is using a 4, which doesn't have access to that feature). Now that iCloud has become a useful piece of software, we'll be able to use that as well for our picture backups. One thing I remember about the Windows app store was that it wasn't very plentiful, although from what I've read it's getting better. What is snapchat?

I use OneDrive to share stuff between all my devices, W7 PC, Android 4.4.4 Tablet and Phone and WP 8.1 Phone. OneDrive is available for iOS aswell and is a great service in my opinion so you both can go with different OS.

I'm not sure what shopping list app you currently use, but I use Wunderlist which is cross platform and great on whatever I've used it on, so even if she does go with an iPhone, you should check that out.

I'm just lurking here for info and don't use a Windows phone, but things like OneNote, Evernote, and Google Docs are all cross platform. Same with file sharing like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Not everything will work well on multiple platforms, but there are plenty of platform agnostic services out there for notes and sharing files.

My 930 will (should!) arrive tomorrow, but I'm wondering: since Chrome is apparently not available for WP, what's the easiest way I can get my bookmarks / contacts onto it from my Nexus 5? Any pro-tips?

Stubb Dogg posted:Since you already did factory reset, you might just as well could try using Nokia recovery tool to restore back to non-dp version. If I unlock my phone (carrier is Orange), can I install a stock (rom? os?) with that utility? I've been using carrier-free or unlocked phones for a decade already and I hate having the splash screen from this carrier. It's a spergy thing but I wouldn't mind if I can easily reinstall a stock OS.

Any pro-tips? You can get email/contacts/calendar from google account just by adding it during setup. There's 3rd party apps for syncing info with Chrome in the store, I haven't used any of them though, so can't really provide any recommendations. Heres an example: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/chrync/cf88cf1c-db73-4db4-8612-758f23c31067 Here's the Microsoft "switch from android" guide, covers some basic stuff: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp8/basics/moving-from-android-to-windows-phone If you're super deep in the Google ecosystem, you honestly might be sad, as almost all the google support is via 3rd party apps of varying quality, thanks to Google's "lol no" policy towards the platform.

I'm only bothered about the contacts and bookmarks, really; the rest of Google's ecosystem can do one. Sick of them. So long as there's a decent remote control app, a Spotify app, Shazam or equivalent, Kindle, Twitter, and some way of working with Word documents stored in a cloud, I don't think I need any other apps. They're the only ones I use. The rest just clutter up my phone.

Office Lens is really an excellent implementation of the document/whiteboard scan app type. Pretty simplistic, but good OneNote integration and no-nonsense filtering/perspective correction makes it really pleasing.

Welp, after my phone froze 7 times over the weekend (after spending the two months since the 8.1 upgrade doing multiple reinstalls of the OS and disabling of apps until it was basically a 1990s dumbphone with a very nice camera in a desperate attempt to make it stable) I'm officially done with Windows Phone. I wouldn't accept this poo poo from a loving hacked Android sideload, for a flagship phone made by a company specifically purchased by Microsoft to make them hardware to showcase their OS to be so completely useless is just ridiculous. Oh, and being told multiple times by Nokia that it's a software problem and I needed to talk to Microsoft and by Microsoft it's a hardware problem I needed to speak to Nokia (and neither being willing to admit THEY ARE THE SAME loving COMPANY) really did make me feel like a valued customer. It's a tragedy because I really liked WP, having at first just been willing to tolerate it to get my hands on the 1020s camera. It looks nice, it works (worked) well, and was generally quite a pleasure to use. Then they upgraded to 8.1 (and kicked out the ladder to prevent people from going back) and it all went to utter poo poo. I suppose I'll go back to one of my old Android phones while I work out what to go with next.

Why are you torn between an iPhone 6 and a Lumia 930? Isn't the 930 hardware like a year older and lacking the cool Nokia features that other lumias have? Also I'd think if you both have iPhone you can do all the cool imessage/facetime stuff

The lumia 930 seemed to be the best windows phone that wasn't giant or had a tumor sized camera protrusion. From what I understand it's also good enough for her purposes and will be a significant upgrade from her iPhone 4. Personally I'd like to get her the six, but it's not really me using it.

If she's coming from an iPhone4, the 930 may come off as really bulky. The 830 is generally felt to be the better designed of the two.

Great size, great weight, looks fab in green and is super fast. Ditch the IOS idea immediately.

Other than that, is it possible to just open embedded videos with internet explorer instead? I just tried it, and it did not reboot the phone. I'm on the developer preview builds though, so  . If it was a javascript error, it should appear now as a error dialog and say what went wrong. If it's a thread parsing issue, it should also appear as a error dialog. Phone rebooting seems like an OS level issue, but I have no idea what that would crash the whole thing. I could make a test app with just a webview and just an embedded youtube video to see what's going on. But again, I can't reproduce it so. You can also turn off that setting on the forums itself to show the video, then it would just be a normal link again. I don't know if I can make that a setting in the app itself and override it; on some areas I can, since they are query string values, but I don't think I can with that one.

I went from the 920 to the 930 and though it's an upgrade in most ways (bigger screen or no increase in size, better screen, better camera, beefier internals) it did lose glance which is a huge bummer.
