    I've given 3 years to Windows Phone and here's my take

    3 years? I lasted a month with a Lumia 920. I bought and sold it for the same price.

    Will Windows Phone continue to avoid to make a File Manager?

    Skydrive is basically a ripoff scheme where a company says "you're not allowed to have a file browser...except on our cloud servers". People are so brainwashed into thinking that they shouldn't have file browser on their local device that they actually think that file browsers are "dying" when...

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    Nobody is saying the broken hardware doesn't need to be replaced. The greater issue is how Microsoft's lack of development in Windows Phone is making it difficult for people to deal with a broken volume rocker. Not having a fallback such as a volume setting is just poor thinking on Microsoft's part.

    Will Windows Phone continue to avoid to make a File Manager?

    1) It's not about having to use a file browser. It's WANTING to use a file browser. Some people just want complete control of their files and a file browser is how you do it. 2) Countless numbers of users use file browsers on Android on screens ranging from 3 to 11 inches. There is nothing...

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    The audio settings menu is all that is needed. That alone would be a huge improvement to allow a fallback on broken hardware.

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    Yes, but people shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by having to do an RMA when they can just use the onscreen menu. Also, broken buttons commonly happen after the 1 year warranty period is over. My friend can just buy another 520, but if he got a flagship device, he would have to wait for the...

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    Um...if a customer can't change their volume because of a broken volume rocker, I'd say this is a design flaw. Android and iPhone users are able to change the volume with the onscreen menus.

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    Already tried removing the back panel and pressing the keys with something small. There's something internally wrong with the phone.

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    I tried my old pair of iPhone buds and had no luck. It doesn't even work while playing music. Could be incompatible though... It's a Lumia 520. Friend's first smartphone.

    Help! Volume rocker is broken! How does one change the system volume via the touchscreen?

    Looked in the settings, looked for apps that will do it and no luck! This is for a friend of mine who can't hear his ringer any longer. Any help would be appreciated!

    Another Notification Thread -- warning long

    I think WP will steal the Meego way of doing notifications. A left swipe on the homescreen will reveal an "Events" list or some buzzword Microsoft has cooked up.

    Good ol' Joe Belfiore believes in WP8 and Windows so much he is posting from Android

    Is that why Android has 53% of the US Smartphone market? Too many features? Nobody is going to use Windows Phone if it can't do most of what the competition can do, at the very least.

    Do you think Windows Phone Blue will solve all the problems?

    Is Windows Phone not already on a yearly update cycle with 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, etc? I don't really see a difference no matter what they call it.

    Good ol' Joe Belfiore believes in WP8 and Windows so much he is posting from Android

    The problem that nobody in this thread is mentioning is the fact that WP8 has drastically less features than every other competitor including Symbian phones and when you're a WP8 user and you see the man behind this OS using another phone, well, I can see why some people would consider it...

    So pretty much every AT&T customer in this forum is dealing with Nokia directly after 14 days?

    Lumia 920 has dust collecting in front camera but AT&T store won't accept it past 14 days

    Hello, I have a relative with a Lumia 920 who just visited an AT&T store to get his phone replaced for the poor construction defect resulting in his front camera collecting dust but the store told him he has to go 30 miles up north to a warranty center since he bought his phone back in December...

    Why a Surface Phone doesn't make sense for now

    Microsoft should have come out with a Surface Phone INSTEAD of a stupid Surface RT Tablet, which is failing miserably, and sold it directly to consumers unlocked at a low price of $399.

    Absolutely problem free Lumia 920 owner's thread

    The ATT user who I helped get his White Lumia 920 says that he's never had a problem with the phone before or after the Portico update. He's also never had a smartphone before this.

    Planning to go back to N8 because of the camera

    To people who are saying "buy a real camera": Some people actually don't want to carry a bunch of things, such as a camera, music player, laptop, notepad, phone, gaming device, etc. That's why we have smartphones. In the next 5-10 years with the way optics are going, point and shoot cameras...

    Any cross platform texters here? How's the experience been?

    I would say that if you are buying into this OS, you shouldn't be looking to message anybody in any way other than: 1) Facebook chat 2) WLM, 3) Skype 4) Kik 5) Email and SMS. Everything else, especially Whatsapp, is either a terrible experience or very poorly supported on WP. The...
