This I do the night before as the same flight numbers are used daily for the two cities I live between, and don't want all my emails skimmed, so perhaps you're not noticing it being added and disappearing in a short window of time on certain airlines/individual flights? My only thought. wookieepelt posted:This link shows what Cortana looks for. Ah I found the spot, it's in "interests" in the burger menu for some reason, wat down the list.

Each time I go interest> travel > add the thing craps out and goes back two menu levels. Such an excellent feature when it works but goddamn is it undermined by inconsistencies. Waiting til MS stop supporting Cortana on winphone altogether.

How does one change a route in HERE Maps everytime it spits out a retarded route that's out of the way or has unnecessary toll roads besides reloading the route/app and hoping it picks a more suitable route?

Yeah, I just hit search, type "DLxxxx" (gotta get them SkyMiles), then tap "Track this flight" or whatever when the info pops up. On those phones, this is seriously dire. I want to love one, either, but there is no skirting around the fact that a list of fatal flaws is rolling off the tongue merely by glancing at them.

Those look like solid phones other than the awkward button placement on the blue one. The camera ring is probably a design meant to evoke Cortana and helps the phone stand out when everyone sees you use it on the train. The camera bump doesn't mean the phones won't have wireless charging provided they're tall enough. They're going to need a really solid phone to stop me from switching to an iPhone 6S but those look pretty close.

In Here Drive+, you can adjust routes under "Route Settings" where you can set the route optimization and what kinds of roads or routes you want to follow or avoid. I would not recommend adjusting those settings while you're driving. Also, excluding toll roads isn't perfect because it will exclude all toll roads even if only portions of the road are tolled. For example, you'll have a really hard time getting around eastern central New Jersey if you avoid the Garden State Parkway. The stretch between Union and the Raritan River are toll free but Here Drive will avoid it if you set it to avoid toll roads. So if you want to go North or South in that area, Here Drive will make you drive on local roads or go 20 miles to the west to the closest North-South Interstate. That's why I have mine set to go on toll roads. Edward IV fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Aug 27, 2015 |

I agree with you that entering flight numbers manually seems like a bit much work to get Cortana to track your flights, but what I don't understand is why it isn't already tracking them for you. When I was using my 1520 regularly whenever I booked a flight and got an email about it, Cortana would ask me if I wanted to track that flight (or flights if there were multiple flights in the email). Unless you're talking about the W10 preview build, then I have no experience with it, but on WP 8.1 it always picked up on my flights without me having to do anything.

When I was using my 1520 regularly whenever I booked a flight and got an email about it, Cortana would ask me if I wanted to track that flight (or flights if there were multiple flights in the email). That's the thing, it picks up some, doesn't pick up others. It's the patchiness that makes it unreliable therefore not useable. I'll try sending the confirmation email to myself again, see what happens. I've used 920, 1520 and now 640 (8.1). I don't recall the 1520 efficacy but I only used it for a couple months before I smashed it. So yeah, unreliable and opaque makes a bad organiser. In other news, Tallman and Cityman both look underwhelming. Echoing the love for the 920 form factor. Digging even more the 720 with the more pronounced tapers. This current exercise in single radius fillet on a flat oblong and uninspired camera bump is not interesting to me. EDIT: I'd hate to derail but here are some example details: flight with Virgin America, outbound: JFK-LAS-SFO; inbound: SFO-LAS-JFK. Cortana only picks out the JFK-LAS leg, ignores the rest. The email comes in cut short with "download this message" click text, the cut version only shows the first leg: could this be the reason? I don't think so bu iunno. For the record Virgin Atlantic SFO-LHR and back comes into Cortana fine. The two confirmations have different formats in the emails, maybe that's it? Again, unreliable and opaque makes a crappy automatic helper system. Mr Funkface fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Aug 27, 2015 |

At the other hand, I do like these 950 and 950XL renders. My white 640XL already confuses people (sporting x-line case like this one or a fosmon clear case) because in Spain, if you have a hugephone, 90% of the time is a Samsung Note but they see the Microsoft logo, the tiles and the actual lack of lag they even think it's cool. People liked the design of my 925 aswell so it may be that they look different from the wave of iPhone 6 clones.

I don't remember ever having an email with flight details come in that I had to hit the "download the rest of this message" thing to see the entire list of flights, so maybe that's it?

I tried to reset my Lumia 925 via the about menu > reset. This has caused the phone to go into an infinite reboot loop. Any ideas how how to fix this? Occasionally while rebooting, there's a frowny face emote, if that helps.

For some reason doing a complete restore on a phone causes the issue you experienced pretty commonly. I had the same thing with a 920 a few years ago. Super annoying.

Thanks, but so far this isn't working. What I'm doing: 1- phone is powered off & unplugged 2- start the software 3- plug in phone, which causes it to start booting 4- software doesn't detect the phone, phone is still stuck in reboot loop 5- click the "my phone was not detected" button, and then power + volume down to reboot phone 6- software still doesn't detect the phone So I am still stuck.

The timeframe for the phone to enter USB flash mode when booted up is very short. Try this method: 1) Connect one end of the USB cable to your computer, but don't connect the other end to your phone yet. 2) Start the Recovery Tool. 3) Click the "My phone was not detected" button. You should be on a screen where you're asked to select whether it's a Lumia phone or a HTC phone. Now, the next part is very particular about timing, ideally step 5 should be done in less than a second. You might have to try more than once. 4) Reboot your phone (hold power button on newer models / hold power button + volume down on older models) 5) As soon as your phone starts rebooting (on most models you can feel it vibrate), plug in the USB cable to the phone, then click on the "Lumia" button in the Recovery Tool.

Oooh I got it almost working. The software detected the device, I had to hit next a few times, it downloaded something, and then after that I got this: After trying all that with lots of timing variations, I plugged in the phone, rebooted it while the software was searching, waited a minute while it was in limbo, then killed the software and started it again then clicked right into "not detected" => lumia. Then it was identified. I'm willing to attribute the need for this extra special incantation to the weird state my phone is in. E: Now getting this...  E: Semi-working again, at least my phone is detected:  E: still not working

That's a tough situation, sounds like it's identified and downloaded the correct firmware package. I've no idea why it isn't installing correctly, never had that happen to me.

Wait, we're talking desktop here right? On topic: what is is in the WP browser (8.1) which blocks Reading Mode? Some sites (I forget which) don't allow. Other sites (looking at you Daily Beast) render like pigs with zero formatting which are rescued by Reading Mode.
