    Can I get some help managing photos in WP8.1 - many questions?

    Re: Managing photos in WP8.1 - many questions! Bit of an update: Still unable to open photos through third-party apps, such as 6tag, various video editors, etc. If I try to open a photo, the photos app/menu opens, and then reverts back to the app. Makes no difference whether the app is...

    Can I get some help managing photos in WP8.1 - many questions?

    Re: Managing photos in WP8.1 - many questions! Thank you for the good explanation on the different file types. I suspect removing the .nar file from the SD card ("decoupling" it from the .jpg) may have had quite the effect on the Photos app, since now all the photos fall under "older photos" -...

    Anybody cannot open the Photos from inside another app?

    Why are my photos in incorrect order - Lumia 735?

    Photos in incorrect order - Lumia 735 Hello everyone, Earlier today I had a message pop up in my Lumia 735, along the lines of "There's a problem with your SD card, click here to fix the issue" I did so, not worries about losing information (all photos backed up to Onedrive) But after the...

    Similar to Weave news reader?

    Thanks. I've been meaning to give Nextgen a shot. Never heard of Phonly, so that's a new option as well to try. I already use the MSN News app, but it's somewhat limited for my use. Good for top news, but for work I need the very latest, in minute detail :)

    Similar to Weave news reader?

    Edit: I have been using Nextgen reader for almost a month now and am very happy with it! Takes some setting up of feeds, but renders RSS beautifully! ---- Hi all, I was a loyal user of Weave newsreader which, sadly, stopped working in March. I have since been looking for a similar reader. I...

    Cortana location reminders - do they work?

    They have occasionally worked for me. Works: I have "convenience store" saved as a location. I ask her to remind me to pick up milk when I'm nearby, and it has worked. Does not work: I was on a train to Scotland and wanted to be notified when I crossed the "border". I marked a spot on the map...

    How can I get Cortana to give me traffic / public transport info for my places?

    I'm in just about the same boat as you: Lumia 735 in the UK I got some notifications around December and January from Cortana. Told me the status of a flight in December (but not on my return trip), and once gave me transit directions to my next appointment at a museum, and status of my commute...

    Internet problem!

    I've been having the same problem, sometimes twice in a day. I don't know if it's an issue with individual apps... Sometimes it seems if I access certain apps (Weave, MSN News), internet connection dies right after I exit them. I wonder if it's a carrier issue? I'm on Three UK...

    UK Lumia 735 discontinued already?

    Weird thing happened to me when I picked mine up in December at Three store. They had display units and ads, but when I asked the sales rep for one, he couldn't find it anywhere in the database to check out. Eventually he just went into the stock room and got it (seems they had several of them)...

    Problem tagging people on Facebook

    Hello all. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything answering this issue so here goes. Say I take a picture, then I want to tag people on it and upload it on Facebook. I want to do this natively from the OS, without going through any apps. The person I want to tag is called, for...

    Microsoft forms a strategic partnership with Barnes&Noble

    Two good news (if you can even call it news) 1) Turns out Microsoft was suing B&N over Nook-related patents. The matter has been settled with the advent of... 2) Partnership between Microsoft and B&N to take on Kindle. The new Nook with GlowLight has just hit the market. I checked it yesterday...

    Okay this phone is cool

    Yep, that was exactly my reaction the first time I made my phone (at the time a Samsung Focus) and car bond. Ahem, "pair". It's still nifty every time it happens.

    Use as bluetooth remote for PC?

    As the title states, I'm wondering if there's any way to use my Focus as a remote for media player (and anything else possible) on my PC, preferably through Bluetooth. I know there are a couple of apps on the marketplace that allow it on a wireless network, but no wireless here, hence the...

    Bricked phone, woohoo!

    Ok, update on my situation: For seemingly no reason, after like the 3rd time I plugged it into my PC with the intention of running the support app again, it connected to Zune. Zune told me I had to install NoDo. Ok, I did that. Now everything's working normally. Weeeeird.

    Bricked phone, woohoo!

    Woah! Ok, the support tool worked like a charm. Phone is mostly working now. Only couple of issues: it seems to have relocked (I'd unlocked mine a month ago or so), tells me the SIM is invalid, and there's "no carrier". But I'm still getting emails. Also, none of my apps work besides those...
