If Xylo or any of you other MS guys haven't already heard about this, there's interesting bug that happens when you copy n' paste stuff from WP7 Silverlight app to WP81 universal app. Write some text in any textfield in 7.x Silverlight app, in this case I used old IMDB app. Select and copy it.  Hop over to new 8.1 universal app, here it's new Calendar app (moonspeak edition), paste selection and watch how random crap gets appended to text.  I can reproduce it with just about any WP7.x/WP81 universal app combo, first ran into when using Drastic Action's forum reader and 7Pass.

Can't wait until Apple releases non-tiny iPhone with 5" something display, WP's US marketshare is pitiful but almost all flagship features are US only. And with iOS you actually at least get apps, if Apple isn't willing to localize something.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:Nah, at least in this case you could not. The settings let you change the tint, but here it was correct at full brightness and purple at low brightness. So with adjustment you get something that is just slightly wrong at both ends of the brightness spectrum (slightly green at high and slightly purple at low). Clearly not acceptable at any rate.

It looks like 3d touch thing not working out messed up Nokia's whole upcoming product portfolio and all 9xx series flagship designs had to be started from scratch. It was leaked all over that they were supposed to have new global flagship for 8.1 summer launch (instead we got 930 which is just Icon with different chipset variant) and some bastardized version of that for US operators as well bit later on. I'd imagine product pipeline reset probably delayed everything at least 6 months because that's lead time for many of high end components that are in short supply, so maybe we'll get something announced at CES 2015. And I wouldn't worry about current phones not being upgradeable to Win10 that much, since WP 8.x internals are already quite close to Win8. There's probably more work on desktop Windows side making it more modular and getting rid all remains of desktop and all that other cruft that is not required in phones/tablets so they can really share same codebase instead of just component here and component there.

Factor Mystic posted:The main focus of this v1 release is streaming your own music from your own OneDrive account. Put your mp3's in a root folder (name it something with the word "music") in your OneDrive account, and this app will present them and stream them. This is ideal for people with very large music collections, or when you have more music than fits on your tiny 8GB phone. Skydrive folders names are always localized (e.g. "Documents" -> "Asiakirjat"), so on Finnish language settings that leaked music locker feature creates you folder named "Musiikki". And since everything else is in Finnish already, I'd rather keep it that way so it's less distracting and to make it compatible whenever they launch that music locker thing. http://www.windowscentral.com/new-details-about-microsoft-xbox-music-locker

Let's say that ex-Nokians thought they had seen everything already, I mean infighting and political battles between divisions can't get worse than at what it was like at Nokia pre-Elop? Oh boy did moving to Microsoft surprise them. I'd be really surprised if there is anything left of Microsoft in mobile space after couple of years.

BabyMauler posted:So I really hope Windows Phone 10, or whatever they call it keeps what I like and the unified Windows/Xbox stores attract developers. If anything for just the numbers of eyes that look at Windows and in the future Xbox every drat day. Xbox One won't attract any developers as PS4 has huge lead in Europe due to staggered release of Xbox that gave Sony year-long head start. They don't even mention apps in Xbox marketing at all anymore. Combined with Nokia loving up their flagship product pipeline, Windows Phone is effectively dead in North Europe and only thing that even get to operators sales charts are Lumia 5xx and 6xx. I feel really bad for all my former Nokia colleagues, but I expect MS will shut down ex-Nokia division during next two years. Then again, they've seen it coming for a while now and as it is Nokia is losing talent fast.

Rooms was really awesome feature if you had family and small kids, even without messaging (which we never used anyway) this tile would show up if there were any new appointments on shared calendar and so on. We wouldn't even need messaging because my wife would just add something to calendar and I'd check rooms and at one glance see everything, like "ok kid's got dental checkup at Tuesday 10am". Seriously gently caress you Microsoft, might as well get iPhone 6s or whatever next time. All good features are going and all we have is shittier and slower versi.. Resuming... I can understand that on 520 or whatever piece of poo poo phone but the gently caress I'm even seeing this on 2GB quad core 930

MyFaceBeHi posted:Not xylo, but I thought they said that Cortana will be available on all phones in W10 phone AND on in W10 PC. I could be wrong though and it could be wishful thinking, considering this IS Microsoft we're talking about... Even Bing is still missing 90% of its features outside US and they don't really care . Google got 90% search market share in EU for a good reason.

nielsm posted:What are the actual hardware requirements for Glance? A specific sensor? Or is it just artificial market segmentation? I think main reason why 930 didn't have glance was that sourcing FullHD AMOLED panel with internal buffer would've been either too hard or too expensive, as that tech isn't yet used that much in Android world. From what I heard it was cause of intense debate internally too but tradeoffs had to be made.

I saw some Lumia 435's on sale for 40€ unlocked contract free and got one for testing/spare phone, especially with taxes and poo poo even dumb phones cost about same here. Then I went and dropped latest W10 tech preview on it. It probably helps a lot that 435 has 1GB memory, still the camera is utter poo poo as is the display but apart from that it runs this new build of Win10 really well, and certainly destroys any Android on same price category. Compared to how bad previous builds were on my 930, it's almost ready to be daily driver. Also I think secret trick to getting Win10 tech previews to run well is do factory reset on phone after each new build. Even with whole "wait 10 minutes after install" there seems to be something still wrong with how 8.1 settings and apps are imported.

Colourful phones are somewhat inventory management nightmare, you never know which one of colors will sell and many operators might not want to stock them. Especially since there's no guarantee that Lumias will sell at all anymore, so having just black & white is safer.

I've been running latest build on my daily driver 930 and apart from some battery life issues it's usable. Battery life issues seem to relate with background tasks, but if you disable background jobs for Store and Edge battery life is reasonable, bit not quite as good as with 8.1.

We've got iPad and Nexus 7 at home and iOS is in many ways step backwards in usability and I'm not too fond of Android either as it's such clusterfuck technically and apps are often just buggy garbage. But after running Windows 10 for a couple of months now as daily driver, they've gutted all the features I really liked in WP and now that WM10 is in RTM there's no hope of them coming back. 950 would have to have its price reduced to half to get me even remotely interested, as great camera is only think I like in Lumias anymore. When my 930 dies I know I'll most likely get iPhone 6s+, I'm done with this poo poo. All MS apps I use are better on iOS anyway.

News are in Finland that Lumias are dead, MS is shutting down phone division and laying off everyone from ex-Nokia except skeleton crew that can handle warranty cases are long as they have to.
