Has anyone with a Lumia 521 or 925 with wifi calling on T-Mobile updated yet? I'm a little apprehensive about updating if it might break Wifi calling/texting.

The red wifi tile is still there after I updated my 925 to 8.1.

I don't know what to do with all this space after enabling extras tiles.

I'm trying to get Cortana to actually find me restaurant recommendations. All the natural-language queries I could think of from seeing people (in commercials) talk to Siri, like "I want pizza" or "Show me some mexican food" or "Cortana, find me Thai food" or "Where can I get pizza around here?" just takes me directly to a Bing search for that phrase, which is about as useful as you'd expect. Am I doing this wrong or is that just what it's supposed to do in that scenario?

So it's the same as before but with new paint...

I like the auto-updating store apps, but I wish the action center would tell you which ones were updated. I had it update Skype with no notice. Went to check why someone hadn't gotten back to me and found it had closed the app to update.

Buried under a menu. Hit the ... on the bottom right, then swipe to the right for history.

It's not a problem with the ringer, there's something weird going on. My 06:30 and 08:00 alarms didn't sound at all this morning - no noise, no popup - but my 07:00 one did. :confused: I temporarily switched to the US region to get Cortana so I could check if there was something wrong with quiet hours, but that doesn't appear to be turned on.

Try deleting your old alarms and making new ones.

Be careful about setting alarms with Cortana. They don't get cleared afterwards. I just removed about 50 alarms.

I think this might be the least reaction this thread has ever had to a new device announcement. The problem is probably that it's two midrange phones and we're insufferable powerusers?

My mom's 822 is a slow piece of crap and I've been saying she should upgrade to an Icon when her upgrade finally hits in late November; how would an 830 compare to the Icon? For that matter, do we even know which carriers either of these phones will be on?

I think at&t is the only carrier so far that might carry these.

830 vs Icon:

10MP camera / 20MP camera
SD slot / 32GB with no slot
720 screen / 1080 screen
Glance screen info / no glance
quad 1.2Ghz snapdragon S400 / quad 2.2Ghz snapdragon 800

Is there any kind of clock widget/tile I can install so i have a big one that displays the time and if i push it it sends me to alarms.

You'll have to live with them being separate apps. Use a live tile for Alarms and Glance for a big clock.

I was reading this:
http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/i-bought-new-windows-phone

Thurrott mentions: "I choose, prefer and recommend Windows Phone. I just like it better. By a wide margin."

I'm wondering if any of the goons here feel able to recommend the platform to anyone. I used it for nearly 3 years and though I liked it, I never felt able to recommend it to other people. Unless someone doesn't care about apps and wants a reasonably-priced off-contract phone, it's really difficult to suggest it over Android, especially with the likes of the Moto G available.

Nothing has changed since this Windows cheerleader's post:

I had a 1amp charger and it was fine with all my old Symbian phones. My 808 would last two hours doing GPS without a charger. I doubt my 925 would last 30 minutes.
