    Onedrive storage down to 5GB from 15 + 15GB

    Of course the point has never been whether you can afford the new storage fees or whether they are competitive or not. Point is that deceptive tactics were used to get users into the service in first place.

    Onedrive storage down to 5GB from 15 + 15GB

    I guess that if "unlawful content" was being uploaded there is some term in the EULA to deal with it, other than that you can't blame a user for storing a lot of content in their unlimited accounts. And no, I don't believe Microsoft was as naive to the point of not expecting users uploading that...

    Onedrive storage down to 5GB from 15 + 15GB

    I am not sure if it has been mentioned before in this thread, but if not, read Dvorak's column. It hits the nail in the head: Microsoft's OneDrive Bait-and-Switch | John C. Dvorak | PCMag.com

    Oh, sounds like exactly my same problem with a Lumia 620. I had to downgrade to WP 8.3, I'll try this fix and let you know.

    Music on SD card showing as "other" type - not showing in music app. lumia 820

    Well, I'm having similar issues. Of course it hasn't been solved yet...

    Music in the sd card disappears

    Ok, update, it screws all music, irrespective of format... as long as it was synched via Windows Media Player. It goes like this: one synchs via WMP and if it stops/fails to synch (which definitely happens frequently) then ALL music synched from WMP stops appearing in the player. Let me insist...

    Music in the sd card disappears

    MPAtool only works in wp8, not wp 8.1, but yes it would work with my phone as of now. The problem is that most of the music in my collection is classical and it is complicated to get covers for it. The problem is, namely, what to search: composer, orchestra, director, soloist? It is a perennial...

    Music in the sd card disappears

    I am having a problem as of late where music synced using Windows Media Player to my Lumia 620 running WP8 GDR3 just dissapears from both the music app and Mix Radio. I can clearly see the folders in the SD card but the music just don't shows up in the phone for reproduction. I have noted that...

    Cyan updated on L520..battery is draining fast

    I never solved that on my Lumia 620, and that included hard resets and updating all the way to wp 8.1 gdr1. Actually, with the update to 8.1 GDR1 the phone got plain unusable with random reboots and extreme unresponsiveness. I eventually had to downgrade to wp 8 GDR3 with Nokia Recovery tool.

    Whatsapp white noise

    I'm having a very funky issue with whatsapp. Every time I open it I can clearly hear some white-noise coming out through the loudspeaker. Same happens with headphones. Since I am already experiencing heavy battery drain this is an even additional burden :/ Blergh. I'm with a Lumia 620 win 8.1...

    Messaging Hub w/ Facebook Chat: Hit & Miss

    I am in the same situation here. It goes online and some messages arrive and some just don't arrive, not to mention that it never synchs properly with messages send from the official fb app or website. Overall it is very unreliable. Sometimes the sames happens with imo.im or im+.

    Removing unread voicemail notifications

    Thanks for your replies. It seems like I have no visual voicemail so I guess I will deal with the annoying voicemail notifications for a while... :/

    Removing unread voicemail notifications

    A very simple issue here, I have a few unheard voice mail messages (which I am sure are devoid of content) and since I have to pay a fee to hear the voicemail I would rather just erase the "new voicemail" notification without hearing them, is there a way to do that?

    Woah...39 updates?

    My phone hasn't received any updates for the past few weeks so I won't be surprised to find a similar situtation to yours eventually. That being told, the ms made youtube app isn't deleted by any update, as far as I know it was only pulled from the marketplace so no new installs are allowed but...

    Messaging Hub Issue (Facebook Chat)

    It might be an issue with how facebook handle message clients by a third party. If you use an extraoficial client like imo.im the service is also quite unreliable.

    Should I buy the lumia 520 or 620?

    What?!?!?! 16-17 hours! Really? I am curious which apps you have running in the background as those are the usual culprits of battery drain. Mine will stand a day of light usage and about 4 hours of continuous use (give or take).

    Ad Block in WP

    Indeed, as you have mentioned, an adblocker is usually the only way one can enforce some sort of elementary privacy on the web. The "do no track" request is only that, a request. Google goes as far as burying that option deep in the options menu of its own browser followed by a disclaimer "most...

    Ad Block in WP

    Yes, that is essentially my point. I have no problem with devs getting some revenue from their apps (I have just tried Instance free and it is great). But there are some websites which are just plain offensively infested with ads and furthermore, I only have a 400mb per month plan (at 15 bucks...

    Ad Block in WP

    Is there any way to install an effective adblock in WP? Back when I used Android there was a way to install Ad Block until google blocked it (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/03/google-censoring-android-apps). Now, since Microsoft doesn't really relies on selling ads for most of its income I...

    Screen won't turn on

    This has happened to me a few times, the latest one being today. It is massively annoying, one can hear the sounds of notifications arriving but the screen remains off no matter how many times I press the power button. It seems to be some software bug. Any idea where to report it to nokia?
