Well, color me gone. I pre-ordered the 6+. Once it arrives I am selling off my Lumia 1020. I never thought I would go back to Apple, but I am. And I am looking so forward to it. Printing from my phone. Excellent!

Hello, Mine are all turned ON. Have been since I got the phone. AT&T tells me it has something to do with the weather app that came with the phone. Nokia kinda thinks the same thing. All alerts are set to ON in my Bing Weather app that came with the phone. Still nothing. Our friend from...

Hello, I have a Nokia Lumia 1020 thru AT&T with WP8.1 installed. I just realized that I am not getting any weather alerts. We have a friend in from back east. She has a Samsung thru Cricket and she is getting emergency weather alerts for Vegas. Hers come at about the same time as the Cox TV...

Well, I use Evernote and ToDo-Prime. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of Cortana. I have it turned off on my phone. Sorry!

Is there a tool like Apple's Spotlight search for Windows Phone 8.1? Thanx! Al

Thanks! That's what I've been doing. Nothing found.

Hi, I am curious. Since installing 8.1 on my 1020 I have not received a single notice that any of my installed apps have an upgrade to be installed. Could this indicate a problem? I can still access the store and download apps. Just no update notices.

Does anyone know if Microsoft added print capabilities with this upcoming update?

I was just checking out the new Amazon Fire phone. It even prints. So that leaves just the Windows phone unable to print. Oh well.....

interesting since I printed from my iPhone 3, 4, & 5 from the time I got the 3.

Yep, I was stupid. I ASSUMED that printing was built-in just like the iPhone I used previously. I never imagined not being able to print. it is a basic function and it is available on the other two operating systems in the marketplace. I have to email my docs to my Windows tablet to print it...

Well, that pretty much ends my interest in the Windowsphone as an ongoing platform. I guess I'll go back to the iPhone when the bigger device arrives. Al

Hello, So will we be able to print from our Windows phone any time soon? (sorta like the iPhone already does...?) Thanx, Al

Thanx! I do have backups going.

Hello all, I have a 1020 and I have found that periodically and randomly I find that a contact record is gone. I have about 1200 records. Just now I went to get the address for my wife's cousin. The record was gone. Fortunately I have a spreadsheet of all my contacts that I got the info...
