My 920 running Lumia Black on AT&T has decided that from about 5 PM to 8 PM, it will not retrieve mail from my company's Exchange servers. We're on Office 365, and even if I tap the round arrows to force a sync, it just says "Syncing . . . " for a bit and then finishes without actually retrieving the mail. Anyone have this problem before?

Cyan is what Nokia calls 8.1 after they add their Nokia specific stuff. I think.

No I think it just allows you to invoke voice commands or Cortana without actually entering your PIN or whatever.

Venusy posted:Basically yeah, as far as I know, they use Jen Taylor for what they can*, which includes any of the pre-planned dialogue (e.g. "tell me a joke"). Everything else, it's the speech synthesis designed to sound as close to Jen Taylor as possible. There's a lot of canned Halo-related dialog as well. Try asking Cortana: "Who is Catherine Halsey?" Arguably a war criminal  "What is a Halo?" A few different canned responses here. Best one so far: story of an AI who saves the day with her silent sidekick

So the light sensor on my 920 decided to stop working. Glance doesn't work, notifications don't turn the screen on, and the screen goes black immediately when I'm trying to push keys during a call. I've tried everything short of a hard reset, and I don't have a screen protector. Anyone have any ideas?

I wouldn't trust anything launched pre-Windows 10 unless there was an ironclad statement saying that it would be upgradable to 10.

Anyone on AT&T with a 920, on the developer preview? I just got my Band, and the official Cyan 8.1 release is missing a bunch of features for the Band, like Cortana and notifications. I want to update, but I want to not get shafted by bugs in the process.

Would it be something you could test and see if it happens, if you haven't got a 1020? I don't have access to a 1020, but an app update yesterday fixed the issue for me. I'm on a 920 right now, running dev preview (and had the issue on a 920). After the update I was able to go in and delete the 0h 0m sleeps.

Anyone noticing a huge perf hit from 8.1 RTW to 8.1 Dev Preview? I got onto the preview for the Band, and my phone has taken a noticeable dive in performance since then. Everything seems slower, even just the screen turning on in response to the power button is slower. EDIT: Version is 8.10.14157.200 Chasiubao fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Nov 24, 2014 |

I use my phone for:
I really like the WP UI design and aesthetic, and the default apps for all of these are good enough that I don't find myself wishing I had another phone. Also, to be honest, WP was my first smartphone platform back when I got a Focus. I'm also heavily invested in the overall Microsoft ecosystem (I own a 360 and a Bone, I use Outlook for email, One Note, etc.), so having my phone tie into that is important to me. I don't use a lot of apps on my phone so the utter lack on WP doesn't bother me, though I admit if I did I'd be left wanting. *I have a tiny music collection which is mostly: 'During Christmastime I listen to Christmas music'

My 920 is on its last legs, and I'm sticking with AT&T because grandfathered unlimited data is pretty awesome. My options are basically M8, 1520, or 1020. 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

Speaking of the music app, this seems kind of nuts: Buy a music pass, get a free phone. It's a 635 which is definitely on the lower end, but it reviews okay. I'm actually tempted since I need a temporary phone until new flagships come out anyways.

Because 'less apps' is not a selling point, and the finer point about not needing a million apps for basic stuff isn't easy to fit into a commercial, is my guess.

The Lord Bude posted:I wish my lumia 930 was capable of not playing videos. The Arseholes who designed the website for my city's newspaper decided it would be good to have Autoplaying embedded videos. Nearly every article has one and trying to get it to not play when you're browsing on your phone is a nightmare. Seriously, If it were up to me it would be a capital crime to create a webpage where video or sound played without you explicitly clicking on something to make it happen. I actually removed a newspaper's site from my Favourites because every time I went there, I'd forgotten the auto-playing videos that hijack the audio on my phone, causing podcast / music to suddenly cut out.

So I got some preview OS when I bought my Band. Will I be able to get my phone to a non-preview Denim OS when that finally hits AT&T 920s without a reset? If not, I might as well get myself into developer preview and just grab the latest bits myself.

Happy_Misanthrope posted:Early price rumors for the 640 were in the range of $300 which would have killed it out of the gate, but at $180 for the LTE and expected ~$150 for the 3G it's actually looking like MS's most competitive mid/budget offering since the 520. Really solid specs and no bizarre omissions like the 635 (all expected sensors). Depending on when they come out, I might actually have found the temporary phone I need to replace my busted 920 until new flagships actually come out.
