    Justify a Windows Phone APP

    My company has had a mobile version of our applications in the market for3 to 4 years now. Apple and Android are supported, but not Windows Phone. As our functionality goes global, it only makes sense to add a WP version of our app with "outside of the US" adoption of the Windows Phone being...

    ICON Hot Flash

    Loaded Denim. I (too) am finding apps that are causing my phone to heat up when it never did with Developer Preview. I am also getting some tiles that flash and flicker. PerfectThumb clock being one of them. WP OS always seems to struggle with clock APPS, especially those that move, update...

    Clock Hub Probs

    For a week or so, I had grown disappointed with the DP version of 8.1. For some reason, I had to soft re-boot my ICON every morning as it would freeze with no updates to email, messaging, notification center, etc. Using a Preview Version... well, that was the chance I took. Maybe just a...

    ICON - 8.1 - Screenshot Capture

    It appears that WP 8.1 changes the way you take a screenshot. Rather than holding down the start button and power button, 8.1 wants you to hold down the volume up button and power button. I have been doing this on my ICON - no screenshot since loading 8.1. Anyone else having this problem?

    Vote for WP8 Version of MLB At Bat 2013

    The request for MLB At Bat started on this forum during the 2012 season. Since then, the list of competitive supporters has grown; Apple, Android and now Blackberry all have a version of the APP for the current MLB season.. You can complain to the MLB. They really don't care. However...

    Verizon Lumia 822 Is A Sleeper Hit

    More great news about our 822 phones (see link below). The ability to upgrade the memory and the battery access make a huge difference. Releasing a red version didn't hurt either. Frustrating that Verizon took so darn long to get the Portico update out. I think the 822 will continue to be a...

    Xbox Music & Nokia 822 (Zune + Nokia Music + iTunes)

    Is it just me, or is anyone else struggling with the new Xbox Music? I played the game and signed up for Xbox Music Pass, thinking that this may ease some of my music access pain. Xbox Music has actually made things more of a pain. Xbox Music is very limited on WP8 and it is almost impossible...

    Nokia Drive & Nokia 822

    Pretty cool that Nokia has decided to release their Drive APP to all Windows 8 users. That's just like HTC... no wait. That's just like Samsung... no wait. Anyway, I know that there is no such thing as "free", but Nokia has made a pretty nice gesture here regardless of what may be "in it...

    Speedtest.NET and 822

    Just downloaded speedtest.net APP on my 822. Interesting results when connected to WiFi verses direct connection to VZW. Going to do more testing on my VZW connection as I am out and about today. I have a Samsung Network Extender from VZW at my house - not sure if that impacts the speeds...

    Geocaching with your 822

    My older son told me about Geocaching. He said that he went to the County Park across the street with some friends from school, downloaded an APP onto his phone and used the APP to find "stuff" that was hidden. Mostly big plastic jugs and jars painted black or camp and filled with a...

    Over the past few days, I have been reading a lot about "Nokia teasing phone innovation...". While some of this news is both tempting and exciting, I find myself keeping my emotions in check by reminding myself: "The stuff I see from Microsoft and Nokia at CES this year will actually be...

    Finally, some WPC news about the 822

    Man, what an ugly photo of the gray 822 (click on link at the bottom of this post). Had it been a Nokia 920... As Rodney used to say: "No Respect". I guess VZW has now made "free" official with the 822. I got mine for free weeks ago. Regardless; I would say that the 822 is the top WP8...

    I decided to scrap the APP on my 822 (Facebook & Twitter)

    Since Christmas, I think I have read over 100 WP8 APP reviews. While going through a few yesterday, I found some folks who decided not to use the Marketplace Facebook or Twitter APP(S). Instead, they when to IE on their WP8 phone, went to facebook.com or twitter.com, and when those sites...

    822 verses the rest of the VZW WP8 inventory...

    While I was a bit apprehensive at first, I must admit that I am very glad that I decided to jump into WP8 with the 822. The lackluster owner feedback on the 8X (discoloration, etc.), the lack of a replaceable battery on the 8X, and the inability to upgrade memory on the 8X were key factors for...
