    bigger battery in non-dGPU versions?

    would seem that the models shipping w/o dGPU (which i don't need) would have space for more battery (which I do need). Ithink all review samples have had dGPU, so i don't think we know but if indeed I'd love to find out,t hanks

    Icon is a monster for recording concerts

    I think one of those recent updates fixed the stuttering in video recording in loud environments. Last night I took the Icon to a RUSH concert and was very pleased with the results. The hall was deafening, but the audio is surprisingly clear and not distorted as I feared it would be. I used...

    How can I stop my video from dropping out?

    video dropouts ever since Denim have been psyched to take my Icon to a concert and capture some 4k video. indeed, the sound is incredible. video is pretty good. but the recording seems to "hiccup" every 20-30 seconds. here's a 4k clip from last week...

    Fitbit MobileTrack with Denim

    I thought that the Denim update to the Icon would enable the MobileTrack feature in the FitBit app where it pulls your step count from SensorCore. (the MSN Health & Fitness app does this, so I'm sure SensorCore is indeed tracking the steps). I looked for a setting to enable this in the FitBit...

    Oh happy day! Denim is here

    Lumia Denim now rolling out to Lumia Icon in the U.S. - Lumia Conversations Or, if you can't wait, you can install the Nokia Recovery Tool and wipe your phone to get Denim immediately. Strikes me that it might be worth wiping anyway...

    returned mine after 25 days

    with just a few days to go on the return window, I decided to take back my Band. I'm still conflicted about it, but here's why: 1. phone's battery life seemed noticeably worse. I had hoped it would help as I wouldn't be turning on the phone screen as often, but the BT must have had the opposite...

    a couple of unexpected use cases

    #1: I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't sleep with the phone in the room. too easy to get distracted. but it's annoying b/c I have to walk downstairs to check my email, texts, calendar, and weather in the morning. now, when I wake up I stop the sleep function on the Band and right away I get...

    getting data into HealthVault

    I think I made it work. a bit kludgey, but here goes. step 1: connect the ms health app to MyFitnessPal. then it will push your workouts (but not sleep, or overall calories burned) to MFP. step 2: connect MFP to FitBit account. it will push your foods, workouts, etc to FB. (it says there is no...

    Icon battery life with Band

    Curious whether anyone else with the Lumia Icon is using the Microsoft Band. given the so-so battery life of the Icon, I was hopeful that using the Band might help as I wouldn't be pulling it out of my pocket so often and turning on the screen (which is true). but sometimes it seems the...

    charge while driving

    been a bit frustrated with the charge time of the Band. what has worked best for me is to charge it a half hour while I read before sleeping, then another 15-20 minutes in the morning while I get ready (I'm one of those quick-shower people). but it really hasn't been enough. then I realized I...

    1020 regret

    sorry for another whiny thread but today it hit me that I really wish I had gotten the 1020 when it came out. I almost did. I had been wanting to switch to winphone from Android, and I was amazed by the 43mp camera. the only reason I didn't want to switch was that doing so would have forfeited...

    After half a year I stopped using a case.

    when I first got the Icon I thought the back was too slippery. I had dropped my previous phone twice and cracked the screen beyond usability, so I have been using the Icon with a (super thin) case every since I got it. on a trip recently my case cracked, so I reluctantly left it at home and...

    Battery life in "watch mode"?

    Hi, I've read the entire forum but don't think I saw how the battery life is with watch mode enabled. Will it last a full day, assuming not trying to use GPS all day?

    double-tape to wake confirmed for Cyan?!

    sorry if this is old news, but Rubino has the 930 in-hand and says it has double tap to wake. as it's essentially the same phone as the Icon, I think this is good news for us! Lumia Cyan and what it brings to Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia 930 | Windows Phone Central time for the pool on when...

    Glance for Icon ... sorta

    this app seems to work on my Icon: shows time (permanently) on "lock" screen (must be activated by touching a live tile, but does appears to suppress the screen timeout and wakes with double-tap. not sure yet about battery impact, but yum... TimeMe brings a Glance-like screen to your Nokia...

    Icon internationally

    Just wanted to say that I had a great time with my Icon on a trip to Europe last week. With my previous VZW phone, I just left it turned off because I was terrified about huge data charges + roaming was flaky. With the Icon I downloaded maps of the UK and Denmark, so I was able to search maps...
