    My phone is not saving my wifi password after WP8.1

    Having the same issue, same phone. Haven't seen a fix yet. Edit: Just playing around with it, turn on "Connect to WiFi hotspots" In Wi-Fi Sense. Dont need to have it accept terms of use, but it needs to be able to connect to save the pw, apparently.

    Anybody disappointed that the Lumia 920 doesn't have a 4.8" screen?

    I'm happy with 4.5" for the screen. Any bigger and I probably would have gone for the 820, tbh.

    Battery sucks after upgradeing to Poritco, any suggestions?

    I addition to turning off unnecessary things like NFC and giving it time, I'm of the opinion that doing a clean install/factory reset never hurts. Granted, this is most likely a placebo holdover mentality from my days flashing ROMs on android..

    Is anyone else having issues with WP store?

    I had issues earlier today. Wouldn't give any search results for apps. Seems to have cleared up though.

    920 Continuing battery drain issues.

    Just a random suggestion, but after the Portico update, I was getting lower perceived battery life, so I charged my 920 to full, let it stay on the charger for an extra hour or so, then did a factory reset. Barring a rogue app or something, I tend to get better battery life (or so it seems, at...

    Idle Drain Frustrations

    This may sound counter-intuitive, but if you're running without gsp on, it might be worth trying to turn that on. the other night, i turned off location services before I went to bed and went from about 75-30% overnight. Last night, i did the same with location services on and only dropped...

    HELP! Critical Music Feature Lost with WP8

    Not sure if I'm missing something but the rating is above the shuffle toggle. As for the headphones, I believe that your issue is with the headphones and not the device as headphones that are designed for the iPhone tend to not work well with other phones. Take a look around the forums; I know...

    Portico Update Bug List

    I believe that is due to Google changing something in their api's to break third party apps in general, not the portico update.

    Prospective Lumia owner here: Users who switched from IOS and Android, how are you finding it?

    Next time try lowering the exposure. When I went to look at xmas lights with the family, the first pictures I took turned out like crap. Lowered the exposure to at least -2/3 (IIRC) and the pictures came out great.

    Portico Update Bug List

    Re: Just updated, and I see zero improvement in the camera Just tried an outdoor (overcast) shot before and after the update of the same scene as best I could. After the update, the picture seems to be a bit brighter and I think a little bit sharper as a result, so there's definitely some...

    The Google conundrum.

    Here's a newspost that should help get you going in the right direction. From the forums: How to completely switch from Gmail to Outlook | Windows Phone Central And really, no one says you have to stop using all google services. From what I can tell, the big things are contacts, calendars...

    Naked 920 club

    No case yet, but I may pick up a bumper case or something soon. I seem to have issues with it nearly slipping out of my hand a lot.

    Need to buy at&t prepaid sim card

    It's not ideal, from the sounds of it, but you should just be able to walk into an AT&T store when you get here and buy one. I've bought one for someone visiting from out of the US in the past, might have had to have photo ID, but I imagine a passport would work.

    T-mobile Users: What is your experience with T-mobile coverage

    Verizon does have individual plans (at least as of a month or two ago). You just have to know to ask for it since they don't advertise it as much.

    920 and heat

    I've only had mine overheat to the point of being worried once, and that was yesterday. I left the flashlight X app open (with the light turned off) under the lockscreen for about 20 minutes and drained about 10% of my battery. Doesn't seem like enough to worry me, though.

    Build quality question: Corner of screen near SIM card slot

    I'm going to end up giving it a week and seeing if it gets worse or not, since I have at least the two week timeframe to start an exchange (though I recall being told it's 30 days on something like this).

    Build quality question: Corner of screen near SIM card slot

    So, I remember seeing a couple of people mention this over the weekend, but nothing recently. Last night, the top left corner of my phone started to have a little bit of give when pressed. This was enough to produce a creaking sound when I picked up the phone when holding it from the top and...

    Signs of good battery life.

    Yeah. I was on LTE all day, just not really using it. As it stands, I'm still considering this an anomaly until I see it repeated a few times (and then I want to try using it as an mp3 player for a few days). I know this scenario isn't going to apply to everyone so I don't want to get...

    Signs of good battery life.

    Ah, right. I have 4 accounts set to either 1 hour or 2 hours, depending on the importance of the account. Haven't toyed around with limiting background tasks yet, so those are all defaults. As I said, the first two were done during and after work where the phone was mostly sitting in my...

    Signs of good battery life.

    Screen brightness is set to auto, wifi was off most of the day, bluetooth off, and gps on. Think that covers everything.
