    why should i get xb1 to complete my MS ecosystem?

    You are going to make a lot of PC gamers rip their hair out saying you'd prefer a controller over keyboard mouse lol. Fair enough though on your preference, but regarding performance, PC you get what you pay for, and if you put $1000 into GPUs you can spank any console game, particularly when...

    Back to my point, Titanfall will be on PC and looks and controls way better, just sayin' :) Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk

    Tried to get a PDF off my phone last night.....WP 8.1 can't come quick enough.

    The question was how did it get on the phone, email, http, etc. The point we were getting at was if it came in an email, you could just open the email on the PC, if it came from the Web you can open it from the PC, etc. A question of work flow I guess. Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk

    why should i get xb1 to complete my MS ecosystem?

    I have been reading about an early trend of PS4 beating out xbox in frame rate and rendering resolution on titles available on either console. I'm not sure if that's a trend that will continue, but I would opt for the PS4 if I were you based on the fact that you're not a huge TV person, your...

    Tried to get a PDF off my phone last night.....WP 8.1 can't come quick enough.

    Fair question. Ever since picking up WP8 I've found that my phone is a phone, not a full on productive device. This sort of task seems routine for an iOS or Android unit to accomplish, but I carry a laptop and a Win8 tablet... I would much prefer to do something like this from a computer...

    Do you have the problem, then, if you do use wifi?

    Best Bluetooth Car set up

    I don't know a ton about BT or head units outside of my own (limited) experience, so I'm hoping this post bumps your thread and someone a little more savvy can assist. You shouldn't need an adapter if your new head unit supports the bluetooth media connection, but as to the specific BT version...

    AT&T Tried to sell me the SGS4 instead of the NL925.

    I manage mobility for a company of 600 people, and this seems to be a pretty common occurrence with sales reps... I would love for someone from Nokia or MS to do an undercover shopper type deal and see how frequently their "carrier partners" crap all over them. I have had the same conversation...

    error HTTP 403

    If you are on WIFI, you may want to try another computer within your network to see if the result is the same; if the server is refusing requests from your IP address, or if your network is having trouble supporting encryption like SSL, this would isolate the issue to either the device or your...

    error HTTP 403

    Hi there -- I think it's pretty unlikely that this issue is related to your phone; 403 means that the web server you are trying to contact is refusing your request. Is this affecting one specific web site? I would assume that accessing a completely different website would produce a different...

    Switching from iPhone 5 to Lumia 920 - differences

    I thought this was kind of humorous actually, but I think jobbing Apple for build quality is laughable (one of their strongest points by far), and going after colored phones made with polycarbonate shells is well, pretty much the identity of current Nokia devices, no? I (and this thread) digress...

    Switching from iPhone 5 to Lumia 920 - differences

    Holy hell, that's a lot of Apple equipment! Good luck my friend. Any growing pains with the new MS kit, feel free to PM me.

    Made the switch have a question

    Good to hear... WP8 support aside, you'll be doing a favor for the security of your business network! (Look at the WEP article on Wiki, check out the flaws section, and you can have some good examples on how vulnerable WEP really is). I would try to implement WPA2 if at all possible, but just...

    Nokia 920 Bluetooth/SOund Issues

    Absolutely; on your phone, if you go to settings > bluetooth, you should see a list of devices, as well as which are connected. You should be able to long press the music connection and select disconnect. At this point, the device should appear to be "not connected", but still appear in your...

    Is the 920 obsolete.

    With regards to this, IIRC, MS said that support for WP8 would extend at least 36 months, which should more than cover the lifecycle of your device. This is a fair statement, and I think something that is just a matter of fact phenomenon, not just with mobility, but most computing and...

    Made the switch have a question

    This ^^^ I work in network and communications, and if I'm not mistaken, WEP was depreciated like 10 years ago or something. If you aren't involved in IT decisions at your workplace, I would say there's not much you can do, but if you are and your infrastructure and clients support it, I would...

    How Can I Check if my Windows Phone is Refurbished or Factory-New (Nokia lumia 920)

    That I am not sure of, but if it comes in retail packaging, is in new condition and comes with a factory warranty, I personally wouldn't be too hesitant. Perhaps someone else can shed some more light on it though, good luck!
