I have a developer account so I should be able to get the new phone on 8.1. Ah, fascinating. So you think I'll be able to: Sign into MS Account on 925. Install 8.1 on the 925. Factory Reset the 925 (which reinstalls 8.1, not 8.0, right?). Select to restore the backup from the 8X...

I installed 8.1 on my 8X but I just bought a new Lumia 925. How do I upgrade while still keeping my backed up 8.1 settings? I'm worried these settings will not be restored upon upgrading the new phone to 8.1.This is what I'm thinking but I'm not sure it'll work:1. Sign into MS Account on...

Hmmm, I just figured out my problem through trial and error: cover art over a certain resolution or file size fails to display on the Windows Phone. I had a very large (>1.1MB) cover and when replacing it with a low-res, smaller cover it worked just fine. I have another 800x800 (195KB) cover...

I believe album art that is coming from a (potentially hidden) Folder.jpg file in the album folder is either not syncing to the Windows Phone or the Windows Phone isn't displaying it. I believe the Windows Phone *IS* displaying album art embedded in the id3 tag. Can someone else verify they...

Does all your album art show up on the phone? Can you sync XboX Music songs you download on the phone back to your PC? Lastly, did you also try DoubleTwist? MediaMonkey? I only tried MediaMonkey so far and I really don't like it, but it did have a higher success rate with album art.

At the store in Boston I was told they weren't offering this promotion by one of the salespeople. Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

I just exchanged my phone for an unrelated reason and the camera is RADICALLY better. The old phone had a blue tinge to the preview and all shots in even slightly low light were extremely noisy/grainy. It could just be that it's daytime out right now, so I'll have to wait till tonight for a...

It has been hit or miss for me on my new Lumia as well as my original Focus. I just tested it and it didn't work if I locked and the phone and put it to sleep. It doesn't bother me too much since it's so easy to just hit the power button and then the camera button (while still locked and...

So I narrowed the problem down further. When playing through the speakers there is no issue. When playing through headphones, locking the screen hangs or reboots the device 100% of the time. I tried 2 pairs of headphones and one set of speakers, all with completely different hardware. I'll...

My new Lumia appears to crash when I'm playing music and then lock the phone. This occurred 9 out of 10 tries. The music stops playing and the phone becomes unresponsive, so I have to hold the power button down to force it off. Is anyone else having this issue? I figure my phone's just...

Yeah I'm seeing this as well. The camera appears to be worthless in lower-light settings. Way worse than my Focus. I'll post a sample comparison when I get a chance. Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

Err, just to be clear, I turned the WiFi off and that fixed it, and it continued to work after I turned the WiFi back on. Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

I had this issue today and turning off the WiFi fixed it. I was NOT connected to any WiFi hotspots so I can't explain that. Even rebooting didn't fix it. I'm not sure if this is a fix that would work for others. Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
