Long-time Lumia 820 WP8.1 user and WP fan but with fading interest. Have just skimmed over the Creators update article. Made me wonder if any update since my OS version has brought custom field names in People, or is everyone still stuck with the appalling "mobile", "mobile 2" and the rest? Cheers.

I want to remote desktop to my laptop on my home network from my Windows Phone. It's just for a bit of fun really. I don't know much about this but I stumbled across the Windows Phone Remote Desktop app. It seemed quite easy to set up, and I'm fortunate in that my Internet connection has a...

Hi all. Hope some of you may be able to help me with my camera app confusion. I'm not an keen snapper but I take a few. The ones I do take I like them to be the best quality. I used to follow camera app development but I've taken my eye off of that ball for a while now. So, I have three camera...

Hi all. L820 O2 UK. I'm a bit baffled. Hope you can help. Just upgraded to WP 8.1 and Denim (not even sure if these are one and the same). So, I've got Cortana, which I don't rate that highly but that's probably me not using her properly. Here's my problem. I wanted to down load an app via its...

Hi all. Hope you can help. Lumia 820 on O2 UK. I've just updated to WP8.1 and Denim, I think. I say I think because I've lost my extras+info (and my access point). At the end of the update it said that there was a problem with both these. It suggested to uninstall and reinstall them, so I...

I don't post often, so this post might be misplaced. Apologies if so. I didn't search I admit. I've lost the will on this. I've inquired about this for so long in various places but with little response, but it crossed my mind again tonight. User defined field names in Contacts. When are we...

Hi all, I'm after your valued opinions. I'm sold on Windows Phone. No issue there. I like my 820 a lot. It does what I need and it does it well. The form factor is perfect for me. Removable battery and expandable memory. I couldn't do with anything else. I'm tempted by the 830. Probably because...

Hi all, I'm sure I saw somewhere a few days ago that there is a newly released public version of this. The trouble is I can't remember where. Maybe I misunderstood something or imagined it, because I can't find any reference to it now. Can anyone put my head straight on this? Thanks.

After many months of deliberating about whether or not I need a CR200 in my motor, and finally deciding that I do, I see (okay, I'm well behind the curve, I know) that it has been superseded by the CR201. Can anyone offer first hand opinions on this thing? Many thanks.

I'm using IMAP to sync email across my Lumia 820, Dell Latitude E7440 laptop and an old Mesh desktop. All works pretty well apart from sending email from my phone. This doesn't sync. When I send email from my phone the email ends up in a folder called "sent items". This looks like some sort of...

I'm in the market for an ultrabook. My requirements are modest: Touchscreen. 12-14". Win 8.0/8.1 Pro 64-bit. Haswell. SSD. RJ45 port. 8 hours plus battery life light usage. This doesn't seem a lot to ask but I'm having trouble finding something. As these things get thinner Ethernet ports on...

A while back I tried to install BBC iPlayer. It said I needed to set up an Xbox account first. WTF? I gave up. I wasn't really that fussed about the app. I don't even have an Xbox. I don't want an Xbox. I haven't got time for an Xbox, fun as I'm sure they are. Just tried to install Nokia...

Does anybody understand this film? Thanks for nothing, Tesco.

I haven't taken photos on my 820 before as I'm not really into it but today I had my first dabble out of curiousity. I was surprised that the average file size was about half a meg. The photos looked okay but they couldn't bear inspection upon blowing up. After hearing all the hype about the...

WTF??? Can anyone enlighten me as to why? Thanks.

Nothing flash. I just want league tables, latest results, a team's current season's results. English and Scottish leagues, maybe non-league and European. I just want the big picture of how things stand. So no match reports, rumours, news or gossip, just the stats. Anyone got any recommendations...

Anyone got one of these? I'm interested in getting one and would appreciate some user feedback. I'm particularly keen to know what surfaces it can adhere to. Does the surface have to be absolutely smooth or not? Thanks.

I had a text file containing the username and passwords for all the different websites that I visit (I know you shouldn't write down this stuff but I've no chance of remembering it). Some of these are sensitive to me, particularly financially. Realising the security risk, I've simply (being a...

Just checked my 820 for phone updates. Spinning gears right now! O2 UK SIM only. I'll keep you posted.

Firstly, apologies as I think this may have been touched on before. Am I right in thinking that you can do little or no file management between WP8 and WinXP? When I connect my 820 to my WinXP desktop PC I find the following: The PC seems to think the phone is a camera and displays it as such...
