Need a low cost GOOD Lumia OK, I quit. I have had the Blu for a while and honestly, I gotta say I got what I paid for. I finally removed the battery and tapped it (from over-shoulder height) with with a 16-lb sledge hammer. Made me feel a whole lot better. Right now I am back to my old 520 and...

Is there a 5 or 10-second timer on the microsoft camera app? It's the only camera app I have on there. Don't want store apps. Can't see why a camera app would want my personal identification etc. just to take pics. These Requires/Permissions are getting out of control.

On my old 520 I could mark a number as Blocked. On my Blu Jr., I can't seem to find it. I got update-2 a few days back, did that take it away, or what?

Surprise this morning when I plugged in the Jr (non-LTE) there was an update waiting. Less than 20-minutes later it is now showing "Update 2" New Settings layout makes a little more sense, but an "Alphabetical" option to list everything in Alpha order would be better, but hey, it is msoft...

This is driving me nuts, in a good way - well, kinda. :) When I use my left hand to turn off the phone, I reach over using my thumb for the off-button and the bottom of my palm hits something near the lower-left of the screen. The phone vibrates for a second then the display shrinks with a full...

Only had the Jr a week or so and really like it. Sold my 830 and returned a 930, too big and heavy for what I need. It did some updates a few days back but it is showing "...Phone 8.1 Update," so I assume that is only Update-1? How do we get Update-2? Since the phone has never been locked to a...

With no dedicated camera button, is there a fast way to access the camera or do I always have to log in first? Even my old 520-Nokia had a camera button that if held down in the locked-state, it would access the camera without logging in. Soooo, Blu-ers, any way can get to the camera fast?

OK, I know this will elicit some knee-jerk responses, but wait, I mean **some** pics. We live out in the boonies and one of the local dirt roads has a pipe running under it to sluice water away. The pipe is too small for my dog but more than enough as a safe haven for rabbits. When the dog...

I have always just used a local login password for my qin8.1 phone. I normally don't have any apps that require a msoft account login but I wanted to update OneNote and it asked for a msoft account so I obliged. Now that it is updated, I'd like to drop out of the msoft account and go back to...

Has anyone tired a Qi charging system? I have a Nokia 830 but I prefer the smaller Blu, but I like the Qi stuff, not enough to go back to the 830 though. Amazon has some receivers but the connector is aimed at the center and not offset to the right. I have ordered one and will try folding it to...

Subject says it all. I liked the camera, liked the screen and especially liked the Qi charging. Hated the camera. Still didn't have the Denim (US-unlocked) update camera app and the shutter lag is abysmal. Gone back to using my Fuji digital camera. It means once again I have two things to carry...

TMo Sim went bad yesterday for some reason so I have put in an old one for a local carrier so I can make calls until the replacement arrives tomorrow. Can't remember the phone number and can't find it in the phone. I found some posts on Settings .About. ..Nothing !! Phone .Settings ..Nothing...

Subject says it all. Wife want s a selfie stick so thought I'd see if the 830 can use the BT remotes? Any suggested models or places? Seeing a lot for other phones, but nothing so far for win8.1. Thanks

I have the signal strength vertical bars, the roaming triangle and three wavy lines on a 45-degree angle at the top left of the screen. What are they telling me? Thanks

New 830 just arrived, put the Nano SIM out of my Moto X into it and it is saying Bad SIM or No SIM installed. How do I get it out of that tiny slot? Is there a push button I am missing somewhere? I am sure it is the right way around as I can't see any corner lopped off on the tiny bit sticking...

The cynic in me is wondering. Is msoft dumping the 830? Sale yesterday? Yes, I got confirmation for one. :) Brit company selling SIM-less for 199.00 pounds . Could it be that there is nothing coming from AT&T for Denim update. Will we see another sale from msoft soon? Msoft cutting and...

I have two different brands and types of Qi pads from Amazon. Both charge the 830 to 94% and then go into full-charge mode with the charge-LED flashing no matter how long I leave it on the pad. Is this normal? I don't see it as a problem, it's just the Engineer in me that likes to see 100% for...

So I am setting up the 830 as I want it, but the "People" thing on the Start screen is moving around making me dizzy. I currently have it reduced to a tiny square, but how can I stop the woozies for the next size up square? :)

I'd like to carry a spare battery and I also like to buy only the manufacturer's battery. Wasted too much money on third party "same as OEM" rubbish. A search of Nokia.com is diverted to microsoft.com and of course, msoft being, well, er, umm, msoft, the dopes there have no batteries for...
