    Should New Lumia Devices be sold at a loss ?

    well, they have been doing that with mid-low range phones, which was a mistake IMHO. They need to do it with premium high end phones. Why? Since someone who see a low-cost Hyundai is less likely to want to buy an expensive one, or to even love the brand. Whereas, someone who see a high-cost...

    BUILD 10149 Store Beta Error 0x80070003 App Update Issue

    A simple, yet very annoying solution / workaround. This worked for me every time, but the downside is that it is a long process and you have to do it one by one for affected apps: 1. Disable store beta auto app updates. From this point: never open the store beta app. For each app that is...

    10136 After 2 days most apps are grayed out and don't work

    I had this build after a factory reset and it worked perfectly on my L1520. I installed all my apps from the store (not the beta store), arranged my start screen. Notifications - everything is working. After 2 days, over half of my apps are grayed out, disabled and live tile is not working...

    Re: New build 10136 and no internet connection ... Had the same thing. I did factory reset, and started fresh didn't restore backup. Now it works great, except after 2 days some apps became disabled.

    W10 BUILD 10136: Bugs and Defects List

    I have to second the motion to do a factory reset AFTER you upgrade to this build. It is crap before, duplicate apps and start screen is a mess. Any app in a folder will be removed from start, but you can't pin it again since it "thinks" it is already pinned. After hard reset - it worked...

    WhatsApp tile grayed out

    No. WhatsApp backs up your messages for you in their server. You can disable this in the app settings I think.

    Apt-x support?

    Good news everyone! Windows phone 8.1 GDR1 (update 1, which should be released very soon) clearly states it will add support Apt-x codec. So, I guess it means no windows phone prior to this version has it, but the good news are that they are adding it in the next update.

    Lumia 1520 Problems after 8.1 Developer Preview

    +1 here, for me using front camera or answering Skype video call shows a black screen and the app is stuck. Phone does not crash and I can hit the home button but it does not work and was working before. P.S. I didn't have that problem in 8.1 dev preview, but on the final release of cyan...

    1520 update to cyan + 8.1 for unlocked from another country

    Cool, So for any phone that is factory unlocked or purchased unlock code, the update will kick in as soon as it is ready for that device, regardless of country it was purchased from / country I'm in? Or is it only if I have DP turned on? Thanks for the quick reply

    couldn't find that answer on the forum, hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have the lumia 1520, unlocked that I bought online. I think it is Chinese, not sure. I'm using it on VirginMobile in Canada. Also, I unlocked the phone for developer preview. I'm just wondering...

    Smartwatches that are compatible with Windows Phone?

    Whats the big mystery or problem about call / SMS intercept? My Bluetooth car speaker announces SMS and calls when they come in. If they have BT support, and you set your phone to read SMS texts when using BT / headset - they should have no problems supporting exactly what they show in the...

    Windows Phone 8 Music Library gets corrupted

    This is still an issue with my Lumia 1520 music on SD card. After a few days, songs list shows all songs - artist and albums lists are empty. File meta data on the SD card is ok, still have artist and album info on all songs. I don't want Zune, I don't want any fancy software. Just fix the...

    Camera flash not working after Amber/GDR2 update

    Try this: apply pressure on the flash with your finger, then start the flashlight app (while pressure is still applied), does the flash work? If not: it is probably a software issue. I never seen a device with this case... If it does work as long as you press it - it is hardware. There are 2...

    Poor photo quality uploading to FB and other apps

    Simply not true, not a Facebook issue. I have the same experience, but when my wife uploads to Facebook using iPhone images look awesome. Also from pc they look awesome. It is a windows phone issue.

    Can Rogers Lumia 920 work on Bell/Virgin? And when is unlock available?

    I just did the same with Virgin mobile in Canada, what ever I do - I only get 4g, never LTE. I'm in great LTE reception area, and have LTE sim card. Can you post the APN / network settings you use to get LTE? I even called virgin tech support they told me some IMEI numbers can't be guaranteed...

    Possible reasons why the Nokia Lumia 920 photos may lack sharpness (with link and images example).

    Why you are dead wrong and it is a software issue? 2 simple reasons. 1. Videos look sharp and amazing! no "softness" problem there at all, in fact videos look much better than photos on my Lumia 920. 2. Just for a millisecond, between the time you touch to take a photo to the time the photo is...
