Sorry if this has been figured out already - but I see a lot of threads about facebook messages not coming through to the messaging app and not alerting you if not instantly, then later. The issue is with the status of the person trying to message you: If they are on mobile through FB (the...

I actually just started having this issue but it seems to only happen sometimes - sometimes I get messages right on the dot - sometimes I don't. It's probably the only thing that really irks me. I have 2 theories: Either the MS servers are getting more traffic than they thought or The...

I don't really understand how you're getting so confused? It's pretty simple really - Windows phone 8 store = phone apps - they share a lot of the same architecture as Windows 8, so porting applications from Windows 8 to Windows phone 8 is made more simple thanks to the tools MS has provided...

Yeah Google really bothers me - I love everything Google, I really do - but fact that they refuse to acknowledge WP8 as a viable platform is pretty arrogant - if they had Google apps on Symbian, there is no reason not to have them on WP8. I am starting to make the switch from Google services to...

Hi all, I'm back to share more experiences with WP8 (HTC 8x) after switching from using Nexus devices. So any issues I had over the past 4 days in terms of bugs have been resolved - things like having Skydrive upload photos to Facebook at the same time as my trying to share photos were...

I figured it out! Maybe my computer science degree isn't useless after all - turns out Skydrive was also automatically uploading pictures to facebook so when I would share, they would be uploading at the same time which caused issues. I noticed this when I was seeing double of every photo I...

NVM still not working.

Hi all, I don't know if it's something with my phone or something from the servers but: Facebook fails to upload pictures everytime - whether its the build in app or the Facebook app I then see the picture in the mobile uploads - but it isn't showing up on my wall or timeline for others to...

Hi all, After all the helpful tips I got from my first thread here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8/213572-questions-about-wp8-thinking-about-coming-android.html I decided to write about my experiences with Windows Phone 8 and switching from Android as my daily driver...

Yeah I definitely don't see Android falling anytime soon - I still have a soft spot for Android - I just think Google needs to sort out it's issues with the Carriers and the OEMs before I can consider coming back. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen on any phone is on my HTC 8x- at the...

Hi all, So as I sit here with my lovely new red 8x - I am very happy with it. The only thing I can't seem to figure out is how to get facebook notification icon to show up on the lock screen. I know it wont tell you specifically what it is - I don't really care for that, but I'd like to know...

Thanks for the suggestions about waiting for MWC/ getting the cheaper phone I can't trust Verizon here - If I wait for the high end Lumia - chances are it'll come with an ugly Verizon tramp stamp - I want to experience windows phone with the high end, not the low end (even though there might...

Thanks for this, I will show my girlfriend this - (helped me, too) I think I'd miss instagram as well, but I spent more time looking at pictures than posting them anyways

Thanks again for all the replies my galaxy nexus is about to die so I need a new phone asap. I am going to buy out of contract and thanks to Nokia today, I'm going to get the 8x -now to find one in the limited edition Verizon gray and green ��

First of all, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. My girlfriend and I went to check out the phones again - Man the windows phones are smooth. Here is my issue: I am on Verizon (and stuck on it for work) there is no Lumia (except the hideous 822) - the Navigon app is...
