Another odd bug I found was if I had a sms thread up, and switched away from it, it would create another instance of that thread in the multitasking view, so I ended up having 10+ screens to close after talking with my wife.

If anybody is interested, AT&T is selling refurbished 925s for 80$ without a contract. Not a terrible deal for sure.

I own a 920 and love the drat thing. I upgraded from a 520 because my son needed a new phone, so he got my 520!  It's a fantastic phone and the screen is wonderful!

Uthor posted:The Play Store is how Google controls Android. The OS is open, but the store is not and more and more of their apps are becoming Play Store apps. That means they can update the apps without updating Android (yay!), but also means that you have to meet their criteria to get access to the Play Store and the Google apps (boo!). As a follow up to this: Android has a series of tests in what's called the Android Compatibility Test Suit or CTS for short. These tests are ran on a build of Android and every single one of the 20,000+ (as of 4.4.2) must pass for a device to be certified for google play. There is also a small handful of manual CTS tests you have to pass as well. And even after passing the tests google may not certify you for whatever reason they come up with. So it's a crapshoot for smaller companies to become CTS certified.

Is it a bad thing I want to upgrade my 920 to a 1520? I love the gigantic-ness of it all, and it's a quad core 1080p phone. Is there really anything bad about the 1520?

Just picked up a 1520 and it's amazing.  I really have to complain about AT&T here though. I went to the store at the mall and asked straight up for a 1520, and after they determined that no, they do not, he tried to sell me on a G3. Then when I asked where I could buy one he said nowhere in the area. I went to the Microsoft store in the same loving mall and they had not only them on hand, but in every color. Thanks AT&T!

But I'm really not liking the idea of being locked into a 2 year contract when new phones could could be announced soon. Goddammit Microsoft

So while I love the new sa app, the only thing that bothers me is when you decrease the font size it doesn't decrease the other pictures around it, so you get a gigantic name/avatar, but smaller text in the post.

MobMentality posted:Because Apple has a reputation for quality. Which is funny because they stopped using higher quality internal parts a long time ago in favor of better aesthetics design. Now granted their mechanic design is amazing, but their quality is somehow perceived as better when in general it's really not.

Some guy picking through a million bajillion lovely apps: Screams in frustration. Picks up a WP8 phone: Uses the features he wanted to use right away without any issue. Announcer: Just use your phone; the basic features shouldn't be add-ons.

Pipski posted:Its other plus is a decent-sized battery, so you'll probably actually be able to take pictures when you need to. While I was on holiday my Nexus was running out of juice by the afternoons, and I missed a lot of good pics as a result. The 930'll keep chugging a lot longer. In that aspect, my 1520 can last almost 2 1/2 days with moderate usage.

Stick100 posted:I'm sorry but that's just not true. Hardly anyone is currently developing new software as WPF/Win Form/Silverlight/Windows Store Apps. And no one is doing that for the ARM platform.

benzoapyrene posted:My 925 is slowly falling apart - the headphone jack died a couple months ago, responsiveness is sluggish, etc. I like the Windows Phone ecosystem and was kinda hoping to stay in it. Originally I was going to wait for a 640XL and jump on that and then get a nice new flagship later, but since there's no update on the release date for AT&T I don't really want to rely on that. Long story short, I was looking around at maybe getting a used 1520 for now, then if the 1520 starts to show its age upgrading like originally planned. Is this a reasonable idea, or has the 1520 not held up well? I know that there were some issues with the digitizer - was that specific to a certain model of the 1520, or are they all suspect? I love my 1520 and it shows no signs of aging at all. I say go for it. Every phone will be tiny in comparison after using it.

benzoapyrene posted:That's really good to hear. This might be a dumb question, but with a phone that big how awkward is it to pocket? Would it be noticeably uncomfortable if I keep it in my back pocket? I wouldn't ever sit on a smart phone so I wouldn't know. It's not uncomfortable to front pocket it though, but I am 6'1 and 200lbs.

I had a infinite reboot problem with my 1520, I took it to the Microsoft store and they instantly handed me another one without even trying to replicate the issue. Best experience I have ever had at any retailer.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:I don't think that particular problem is quite a bug though, the camera is just ridiculously resource-intensive. Which might be desirable, would have to see what a cheaper implementation on similar hardware would achieve image quality-wise. A camera generally shoots out frames in raw Bayer format, which in turn has to be converted to YCBCR format (generally 442). This conversion process is incredibly processor intensive, and even with the likes of a fpga helping will drain the battery pretty quickly. There isn't much anybody can do with the way current CMOS sensors work.

Playing around with it: - Internet explorer isn't installed, and I am not sure how to install it. -After the first boot I couldn't pin anything to the start, a reboot fixed that issue. Things that are cool: - For larger phones, holding the windows button will push the application down, making it easier to use with a single hand.

wormil posted:"Business phone" was a 2000's concept, a marketing point for Blackberries and to a lesser extent, executive phones. I can't see that it has any relevance today. Because large corporations would like to control your phone and keep the data on it secure remotely? Especially if they are paying for it. I don't see how that ISN'T relevant?
