    So why haven't we seen a Lumia 920 Touchstone MOD?

    Hey all, I'm a former webOS user sorely missing the Touchstone. Yes, I have a Nokia Wireless Charging stand and plate, but it's not quite the same. I'm curious, why haven't we seen any intrepid users MOD their 920's to be compatible with the Touchstone? Just the fact that the device stays...

    A component is loose inside my Lumia 920 is this normal for you guys?

    I have this same issue, a heavy thud, definitely sounds like the battery, tried every single handset they had at the AT&T Store, and there's no doubt that mine is abnormal. Interestingly, wireless charging does not work on my phone, I tested my charger with a phone in the store, and tried my...

    How do I save / backup my WP8 start screen layout?

    I've 'calibrated' the battery twice the way you suggested (even waited an hour after it turned off, turned it back on, it turns on at 0%, but manages to run for a WHILE, and drained it again, then charge overnight)... It fixes the calibration issue for a while, and I get great battery life, but...

    How do I save / backup my WP8 start screen layout?

    Thanks guys, not the answers I was hoping for, obviously, but I appreciate it! Since you guys have done a hard reset, would you say it's worth it?

    How do I save / backup my WP8 start screen layout?

    I've set up backups in settings, but am still unsure of how I can backup/save my start screen layout on my 920... I want to do a hard reset to see if it has an effect on battery calibration, but don't want to have to reset my entire start screen. Also, are my podcast subscriptions saved as well?

    Outlook in WP8 not synced to Outlook.com?

    WPBench Battery Experiment

    I've seen that zombie mode too... A full recharge after draining past zombie mode worked well, but don't know how long that 'fix' lasts... Suspect the problem recurs...

    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    I read through about half of this thread yesterday as I was only getting about 8hrs of battery life. Here's what I did last night, not promising it will work for you, but it's worth a try: Drained my battery to 0%. Ironically, had to run Netflix for 2 hrs to lose 30%. Let the phone shut off...
