Managing Wi-Fi or mobile data are incredibly useful. 1) In the USA do you not have shops/restaurants which have open Wi-Fi but then require you to click though an acceptance screen or enter your email address or something? They're everywhere in the UK and are really annoying because if you've connected in the past your phone will always re-connect but not actually be able to use it. It's easier just to flip wifi on or off. CF The Cloud everywhere and Virgin Media on the underground 2) Lots of 520's and 620's were sold on £7.50 a month contracts with 250MB of data, being able to turn that off so game's aren't pulling adverts or RSS readers aren't downloading images is great. And with some apps you're never sure if they're using data or not CF Nokia Music or HERE maps. And while I'm here can you test how Cortana reacts to commands given through a headset microphone on the Emulator? Especially if you take a voice note or make a reminder does the screen turn on even if its in your pocket? That was so annoying I had to stop using that feature.

Is there anyway of setting a phonetic name for a contact? Also the screen still activates when you use Cortana through headphones. That sucks.

Does anyone know what date format's the email app is supposed to recognise? Because that feature doesn't work for me, and I can't do one click add to calendar. Is there perhaps some setting I have to enable? My settings are in UK English and in the UK if it matters.

I've tried restarting the phone, taking the battery out, deleting all photos and re-transferring them but the updating is still there. How did you transfer them onto your phone?

It's great- scrolling works properly! Out of interest are you still working on the app or was it just for demo purposes? Because I would love to request a low bandwidth mode that doesn't download images!

How do you change the IE search engine to Google again? I though it was just in settings but I can't find it on my girlfriends Lumia 630 - have they moved it in an update or something? [EDIT] It seems carriers can disable this option, but she got this phone SIM free from Tesco's (£109 which is a bargain) so I can't se why it would have any customisations. Might try and activate the developer preview to see if that brings it back, despite this already being on 8.1 Sri.Theo fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Jun 5, 2014 |

Venusy posted:It's under Settings > Internet Explorer > Advanced Settings > Default search provider. I don't think it was under Advanced Settings on WP7. No it's not there, they've taken the option out which is really annoying. The phone overall is really fast and a noticeable upgrade on the Lumia 620, however the lower ppi is noticeable and there is heavy backlight bleed like some reviewers mentioned. I also miss the camera button but someone who's never had one might not.

I didn't realise before but custom lock screens might not be available for 512mb devices. That sucks and makes it even weirder that Nokia are coming out with brand new 512mb phones, you'd think they would ensure that their phones could use all the features of their software.

fuseshock posted:Got my Lumia Icon late yesterday and have been playing with it since. So far I really like it, great screen, smooth, etc. etc. I also like the MixRadio. Are the standard HERE Maps and assorted apps good for navigation? I think I'm going to wait until Verizon releases 8.1 to update the phone. But in WP8, is there no way to automatically update all the apps? No that's a 8.1 feature, will do it when you're on WiFi

Does anyone else have problems with, what I assume are, group messages. When I receive one it simply says "Get media content now (1kb)" but when you tap on it the same message refreshes, outgoing group messages also refuse to send. My internet and MMS access point settings are correct, so is there any known issue on WP8.1?

xylo posted:I think this is because when the screen is off that subsystem is in a deep sleep power state. Interesting, it doesn't happen on iOS though. It only bugs me so much because I spend a lot of time on crowded tubes and cycling. I would love to make quick notes when my phone is in my pocket but if I do then the screen goes berserk from being constantly touched. The keyboard is great so I don't even know when I'd want to use voice if my phone is already in my hand.

Is there word on how much the 730 will cost in the UK? I'm really hoping that its close to Moto G price, I'm wanting to upgrade to a phone with 1GB ram. Mainly in the hope Skype and other apps work better when switching between them.

Is there any way to make Cortana default to public transport directions and alerts? If I open it in the morning it will tell me about traffic incidents but not the tube status. I can't even drive! Also if I ask it to remind me of something when I leave work does it base that on the GPS? Because I think I get on the underground too soon for it to trigger and then it only reminds me when I get off at the other end.

WattsvilleBlues posted:They probably won't, but since WP's market share (unfortunately) continues to be just a footnote, they might just want to get their tech in front of as many people as possible, as with Office for iOS etc. You have to pay for any real functionality with office. And nobody will use a crooked Cortana.

loquacius posted:My 920 has an issue where if I'm on the phone with another Windows Phone (my mom's 822 and my girlfriend's 1020 have this problem a lot) sometimes they stop being able to hear me unless I turn on speakerphone. I hate using speakerphone. The problem doesn't seem to come up when I'm talking to anyone who doesn't use a Windows Phone, but my mom and my girlfriend are probably the people I talk to the most often. Anyone heard of anything like this? I have that exact problem on my 620, but it doesn't seem limited to people on Windows Phone alone.

The old version was a real pain in the rear end to maintain, due to bad choices on my part (mostly do to the app being my first real Universal app). Now that I know more about MVVM and general workflow, I've changed it all around so it should hopefully be easier to maintain, as well as for other people to jump into. Hooray!

Has anyone bought Carcasonne on windows phone? I bought it on the windows app store for my surface then thought to check it out on windows phone. However on the phone store it says that it works on all compatible windows devices- but not vice versa. So do I need to buy it again on my phone or not?

You can buy a Lumia 1020 for £160 with Canberra grip and coloud pop head phones. For that price it's a really good deal I think. Or at least I'm enjoying it! If anyone has good tips for taking pictures of moving objects in all ears - right now I'm getting a lot of blue although landscapes look fantastic!

You can completely do that. Put the sim cards in and two tiles will appear. Select which one you want to use to make calls. Job done.
