My mom was complaining that after talking on her Lumia 521 for about ten minutes, it get really hot and her call drops. If she calls back right away, it drops again after a few seconds. Just started happening. Has anyone experienced something like that?

I'd be interested in getting her a new phone, but she's already complained that the 521 is too big. :/

I had similar symptoms. Resetting the phone did nothing. I ended up tossing it.

I wonder if the battery is starting to go.

How old is the phone?

Hah, you remember the Icon, right? A flagship WP phone? Seems far more likely it sold for poo poo and Verizon has no interest in another WP model that won't sell than there being anything like a "vendetta".

I think the Kin was the beginning of the bad blood between Verizon and MS.

I don't know how you guys can stand that. In europe you can buy a phone on your shop of choice and it'll work on your carrier as long as you don't try a locked phone with a different carrier's sim. Also if you get a carrier locked device and your contract expires, the carrier has to unlock it so you can use it with another carrier (via code or whatever).

It's not too difficult to buy an unlocked device and use it on the GSM networks (AT&T/T-Mobile plus any of the MVNOs using their network). My current device was bought directly from the manufacturer, my carrier hasn't officially certified the device to the best of my knowledge, but it works fine. I know T-Mobile (my carrier) was willing to unlock my previous, carrier-locked phone only a few months in since I was traveling outside the country, and my friend who has an AT&T device didn't have a problem either.

It's not just a Microsoft thing, Facebook and Google+ have been doing it for ages, it's now an industry ~thing~.

We're getting round profile pics on our work badges. :smith:

Just going to save this as a template response for when vendors drop support, thanks.

"Terrible routing" won't apply for all apps, though.

So after moping around a bunch dealing with all of Android's annoyances I stumbled across this video and got really excited:

"Welcome to the post-app era"

That's seriously in the video.
