I used to open a tab in IE and it would stay until I closed the tab, even if I quit IE. Now, if I back out of IE, it loses everything I had saved for later. What is the point of unlimited tabs if you start over every time you back out?

xylo posted:drat this is not good. This is defiantly not the normal experience, but it's hard for me to stay if you're got a bad phone, firmware issue, or an MO issue. Please use the diagnostics apps and do some repros/send logs etc. I'm confirming this. Xbox music sucks, but everyone in my family has only noticed a slight decrease in battery life as the only negative performance issue since upgrading. That's two NL 920s, a 1020, and my 1520.

Combat Pretzel posted:What's Xbox Music like when roaming? I know it can cache music offline, but does it play without a data connection? In Android and Play Music All Access, I pin my playlists and the music in it is available all the time, without a data connection to check licenses (up to a certain point, I suppose). It checks licenses once a month. You don't need data the rest of the time.

I really think I'm Microsoft's ideal user. I haven't synced a phone to my computer since WP7.5 came out. All of my music is downloaded on the device and I back my pictures up on the cloud. So every complaint about the way WP 8.1 syncs doesn't affect me at all and when I hear about how lovely it is to do, I don't understand why you people don't just do what I do. And the music app really did suck two versions ago, but right now it does what I need it to do. Also, I have never had a problem with multiple versions if a song filling up my library. No duplicates whatsoever and I have been using windows phone since it came out. The point I'm making is: Either I am really lucky in my windows phone experience or a few people are doing weird stuff. I'm by no means defending the music app though. That thing sucked and it took three updates to get usable. Not good.

Sri.Theo posted: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. It happens for me. I'll get one message that says "Get media content now" and will not download at all. Then all of the replies come in, except from the original sender. His always say"Get media content now." I think whatever his phone is must use a different setting that seems to mess with WP.

Maneki Neko posted:Anyone using 8.1 with Ford Sync? If so, have you had problems with Bluetooth phone stuff? If I'm using Cortana on the phone, voice recognition is pretty good. If I use it through the car system, things seem like they have a much higher chance of getting garbled. I'm using Sync with 8.1 and it works great. It seems to hear me better than 8.0. In my wife's Jetta, using whatever Volkswagen uses, Cortana can't understand anything I say. It doesn't even try to guess. "Sorry, I didn't catch that. Try again." If it helps, I'm using Ford Sync in a 2010 that hasn't been updated. I heard from some of my coworkers that 2012 Sync sucks at voice recognition.

Awful music: It indexed music in the background, so that was nice. It looks good, and I really like the music bar on the bottom. I do have a bit of bad news though. The music doesn't play. I'm using a NL 1520 and I'm on 8.1 preview for developers.

Guillermus posted:Hey WP users, I've been an android user for the last four years and, while I plan on keep mainly using android, I'll be switching carriers soonish and I don't plan on upgrading my phone (currently a Galaxy S4 with a custom rom). I'm here because my carrier will offer me a few free phones (or extremely cheap) and the Lumia 925 (for 1 extra euro/month for 24, making it an hilarious 24 total) is one of the options. I've googled information about it and seems like a decent device and I want to mess with WP 8.1. The 925 is considered to be the best of the last generation. You should be able to get a good feel of what WP 8.1 can do, and uninstalling carrier apps is really easy. Just scroll to your apps list from the start screen, long press the app you don't want, and press uninstall.

Something new is happening to my 1520. Randomly, my home screen will start scrolling around on its own, sometimes it launches an app, the screen becomes unresponsive, and the only way to stop it is to restart the phone. Good news is that the camera stop randomly launching. Is my phone broken?

Ev posted:Has anyone had problems with their phone not saving pictures you take? My 1520 seems to do this thing where it will look like it's taking a photo, then when I go to look at it it's just not there. It also, sometimes, takes a ridiculously long time to take a photo after I hit the button to do so and a lot of the time it just won't open the camera app again after that, I'll either have to close it and then re-open it. Anyone else have this kind of problem? I had this problem until I went in the settings and unchecked the box to play living images.

jeeves posted:This fell off from a few pages ago, and I was curious if anyone knew this? I think I can get MMS/pictures via text messaging working again if I update some stuff in 8.1 (wife says it worked before the 8.1 update), but I really can't remember/guess the password to her old account and I think I need to just make a new account for her as Microsoft's Live account recover does jack for me. I think it will delete everything. You can save the pictures on a PC or create a new Microsoft account and sign into OneDrive using the new account credentials before you replace your primary account. You might also be able to chat with Microsoft support and see if they can add a secondary email address, then go through the steps to reset your password.

codo27 posted:Not sure theres a more lonely feeling than owning a Windows phone- in Canada. There are a few interesting games that are only in WP, but there aren't many. With the exception of a few big apps, most don't get updated regularly and are missing features that the other platforms have. My wife traded in her 1020 for an iPhone 6, and I'm tempted to join her when my contract is up. I would consider Android, but I really don't like Google. It sucks that I've been using WP since the Samsung Focus, and I still feel like there is no how of WP becoming a viable 3rd choice OS.

Add me to the list of people who have been using WP since the beginning and am considering jumping ship. My wife got an iPhone 6 and it looks pretty slick. On the other hand, I hear good things about Android. I don't like Google as company (probably irrationally) so I'm leaning more toward the iPhone. Is the one platform that Microsoft services work better on?

Mecca-Benghazi posted:Maybe it's because I've never owned a Zune, Xbox, or a WP7, but what exactly went missing in the integrated hub from WP7 to now? Could you add services other than Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo to it? The hubs didn't launch an app, you would just use the People hub and be able to see all updates from your linked account and could reply to them from the hub. I liked it, but the thing that's killing WP for me is that major apps that haven't updated in over a year are starting to break as the OS updates. And there won't be an update in the foreseeable future.

WattsvilleBlues posted:For those who are sticking with WP that could easily leave, what's keeping you there? I'm actually asking, not being a dick. I traded my 1520 for my wife's iPhone 6 and took her old 1020 for the camera. I like being able to text one handed again. One if the minor things I don't like about the iPhone is the lack of a camera and back buttons. I miss my 1520's performance and I have app envy when I look through the app store. But those aren't a huge issue when I think about it. I have an upgrade in the fall, so I'll see what new phones are out at that time, and I'll see if Windows 10 brings more developers.
