    Lumia 920 battery discharged in 2 hours, what the hell is happening???

    I am one of those people who has wonderful battery life. I use my phone TONS and can go several days on one charge. This problem that the OP is describing, I believe It's how the OS handles apps. To me, which I may be wrong, I believe that WP8 doesn't close certain apps correctly. They get...

    Does your MUSIC PLAYER NOT TURN OFF ???

    Yes, this is exactly tthe problem. Its consistent. Also happens when using wired headsets as well. lets say you are listening to music, press pause, disconnect your headset and walk into a meeting. The music will just start playing from the phone in 5-30 seconds. This is bad design. My...

    How to close background apps?

    I like the idea of the OS automatically handling apps, but when I can prove thats its not doing it well, to me its more of a marketing blerb than reality. Maybe the next patch will fix it.

    How to close background apps?

    I don't know what to believe. Right now, I always back button out of every app unless I want it running in the background (nav and metrotube). I can see a huge difference in battery life when I close apps all the time vs not. I dont agree that all apps tombstone/suspend when pressing the...

    Hey guys quick question on sound for the 920

    No. This would have to be apart of the operating system. This can only come from Microsoft and/or maybe Nokia. There are lots of choices on the APP store. I personally use Metrotube 99.99% of the time. I think trial periods vary from app to app. You would most likely have to inquire...

    Any one paired with Ford sync?

    My workmate has a 2012 Ford F150 with SYNC. The bluetooth works for playing music, but he can't get the song name/artist to show on the screen. He had the same problem with iPhone. Any ideas here?

    Recommend a headset with mic for Lumia 920?

    For a wonderful Bluetooth headset, the Pro Plantronics works great. Bluetooth crystal clear at 40 feet, music, call answer and hang up, voice command, etc. Just a great headset.

    Full Backup

    There is no way, that I have found, todo a full backup and restore of wp8. Your phone will backup your key settings, SMS, call history to SkyDrive automatically. Though, your start screen settings, some of your settings found under settings, pictures, videos, music, and app data will not be...

    WP8 & Outlook Synching for Corporate Users

    WP8 & Outlook Synching for Corporate Users

    L920 Car USB Problem

    The 920 will charge in my LandRover (using the built-in USB port). I think it largely depends on how much power the car is providing to the USB. This doesn't have todo with the phone. Much like the iPad, the iPad wants a 10w USB which is rare (it will trickle charge with at 5w USB). The...
