This was one of Windows Mobile's best apps. Wikipedia complained about it... ridiculous. Fortunately there is a good new alternative: onePedia. Different style to the Wikipedia App but it performs well and has a good set of features. I tried all the wikipedia apps on the store after I couldn't...

I had to go from the insider version of WM10 to the release on my 1520. Before moving I switched to have the default messaging app manage texts instead of Skype and to sync all messages, not just recent ones. Since there was no sync indication I just left it for a couple of hours with this...

Do people know that foobar2000 exists for Windows Mobile? And has done for almost a year I think. No other app is usable for critical use (folders, gapless playback, etc.).

I have a Lumia 1520 with Windows 10 mobile (slow ring insider release) a Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth headset. The microphone volume is very low on calls through the headset. Any suggestions? Is setting volume the responsibility of the headset or the phone OS? I cannot find a way to...

Also getting this issue on 1520, 10.0.14965.1001. Triangluar play sign doesn't work. Good to know that it works normally on other systems. Probably a hard reset will fix it.

I agree there isn't but there could be. WP is still good for enterprise with good management and much better exchange support than others. I think a surface phone could save the platform. 950 and 950xl were very disappointing designs and didn't inspire the love that the 1520 did. Elite x3 looks...

The community surface phone designs look pretty novel. The ones with stylus and keyboard. The nearest thing to them is the Samsung note 7 but that doesn't have a keyboard and it explodes.

"Back" is a common task whatever you are doing. "Search" would also be a common task if it were properly implemented. Separate buttons allow these to be used while not taking up screen space. The 950XL has a lot of bezel space which could have been used for capacitive buttons. On-screen buttons...

I'm also missing a direction indicator in maps on L1520.

You didn't wait for the answer. Security is provided in the following ways: 1. The user/ an app that the user has chosen has decided to put the file in my documents rather than isolated storage. 2. The accessing app has been approved by Microsoft for publication in the Windows Store, which rules...

Right no program which can download any file from the internet. In particular you cannot do this with IE. Where is downloads folder or downloaded files in Windows Phone 8 ? Right. If you go to the default email app and click attach, it assumes you are attaching a picture, ridiculous. You cannot...

Thanks but looking for something introductory. Not about setting up the phone because I can do that. Just about using the basic features.

I got a WP8 phone (lumia 620) for my dad. I've tested the phone but otherwise not used WP8 (not good for me but good choice for my dad I think.) He's very slow at learning technology, but wanted a smartphone to do basic things: phone, internet, email, maps, and a few others. Not interested...

Ridiculous. Of course a file manager with full access to protected system files will compromise security. There is no need for a file manager to access such files. The need is for applications (including a potential file manager) to be able to access common user files, in a "My Documents" folder...

1. A common storage area for user files, accessible by all apps, with a standard file browser that apps can use (by far the most important) 2. Orientation lock 3. Music player with gapless playback and browsing by folder (3rd party apps can do this but only if 1. is implemented) 4. Parental...

Excellent summary of the issues! Why I am very supportive of requests that WP8 should have a file manager is not that I want to use a file manager but that to have a file manager (as a regular app) would require the problems you identified to be addressed. Ability to create a 3rd party file...
