Thanks, Laura, that was really helpful. I was going to ask about the bing rewards app, but I remembered it doesn't work outside the US anyway, haha.

I would do that if I were going to almost any other country, but unlocked phones have problems in Japan from what I've heard. I'm not in the mood to troubleshoot a cellphone while I'm trying to figure out how to throw away my garbage correctly. ​Thanks, though.

Hi everyone, I couldn't find a good place to post this, but I figured this would be a good place. I'm moving to Japan and, while there have been a few announcements of Windows Phones in Japan, I can't bring myself to getting a mid-ranged or low-end phone. I use my phone too much and my 925...

I'm thinking you're right. Shazam doesn't work nor does bing's music find feature. I expect an error code, not just a closed out app -smh- It still doesn't work and hasn't for a while.

Okaaaaay. This didn't work at all. I did a hard reset and she's still doing the same thing with voice recognition.

Yeah, I'm hard resetting. She's starting to grey out the remind button when I type things in. -grumble- Microsoft -grumble- It certainly can't be data if I use her on both Wi-Fi and cellular.

Cortana isn't listening to me anymore. What I mean is, I'll use her speech recognition function and the app just closes out. When I use her in the messaging app (well the voice recognition feature) it says "Sorry I didn't hear anything." However, it's not my microphone, because I can talk to...

If you're looking for APN settings, they're under access point, not SIM settings. Weird. I know.

Everyone get off so I can install it and tell you all about it. :P

Not what I mean. You can already do it from onedrive as well. When I want to send an email, however, I shouldn't have to leave the app. I'm, in my mind, sending an email with files attached not sending files with an email attached. I shouldn't have to leave the app to attach files, that's crazy.

The only one I really feel is necessary is being able to attach files to emails. The rest of them are pretty rare for most users I'd think - at least in the US. Recording a phone calls is also legally hazy. You have to notify the other party that you're going to be recording it, otherwise it's...

It worked, thanks a bunch.

Thanks a million. I'll try that now.

If you're using headphones, it may be them. There could be something wrong with an element on your headphones that's transmitting as a signal to open up voice commands. It's happened with a pair of headphones I had that were really old. They also didn't have a microphone. If it's without the...

If you're talking about the "messenger" facebook app, do what Harrie-S said. If your talking about the Messaging app, you can't delete it.

Hp Stream 7 comes bundled with office 365 at the MS store for around 80 bucks. It gets decent battery life, but not amazing battery life. It's cheap. It might be better to go a step up, though. I like the Stream 7. It's a good ereader too.

Re: which one is the better choice and future proof: lumia 830 or 930 If you're okay with waiting, I'd wait till summer for the next big one. Otherwise, I'd probably go for the 930. However, the glance screen tempts me on the 830. Glance is amazing and should be on every phone ever.

Re: Cannot watch videos requiring adobe flash No mobile can.

I have a Lumia 925 on the 8.1 Dev Preview. My phone hasn't been backed up for 7 months. Not by my choice, but rather by my phone's inability to back itself up. Effectively, I run backup, it gets stuck at 97% and it says something about an error occurred, try again later. Is there a way to...

So I might be moving to Japan soon and was thrilled to find out that they're getting (at least one) windows phone with Freetel and possibly Panasonic. I was wondering what you all think about the viability of these new devices in Japan? Freetel's is still a bit of a mystery, because the...
