    So I have a 1520... AMA.

    I just skimmed through the thread and it looks like no one asked this yet. How's the battery life?

    WhatsApp Questions and Answers thread

    It isn't stored in a place that's accessible. The only way you can restore from a backup is reinstalling. And only when you launch it for the first time after reinstalling.

    How do you treat your phone?

    When I'm at home, it's on my table. And when I go out, I put it in my left pocket without a case or screen protector. I put my keys in my right pocket and leave my left one empty. If I put anything in my left pocket, it'll be something like lip balm (nothing sharp or metallic). I should mention...

    WhatsApp Questions and Answers thread

    Re: Change whatsapp interface? There's no way to edit the UI in WP8. That means no custom backgrounds or chat bubble colour options. To get rid of a notification, simply swipe it to the right. Try reinstalling it. I had the same phantom notification issue and reinstalling it seems to have...

    My 8S has the same thing so I believe it's normal.

    Can't sign into Nokia HERE Drive Beta

    It isn't an account that needs to be tied to my phone. It's an app-specific account and for some reason, it just sits in a connecting loop without doing anything. There are no connection issues with my phone because I can use Twitter, WhatsApp, and other apps without any log-in issues. I tried...

    Rogers Windows Phone 8X on Wind?

    As WavingReds said, it won't work on Wind's network. It needs to support UMTS band IV (1700 MHz) instead of band II (1900 MHz).

    Transfer contacts from my old phone to Lumia 920 through Bluetooth.

    You'll have to add them to Outlook whether you like it or not. The only way you can have phone contacts without syncing to Outlook is if you don't sign into to a Microsoft account on your phone. I had to clean out my contacts list in Outlook when I first got my HTC 8S. It was a long and boring...

    Default "Alarm" application lost an important feature coming form WP7 to WP8.

    I just tested my HTC 8S and I can confirm that the alarm will play even though the phone is set to vibrate-only (by tapping ringer+vibrate once). It also works when I lower my volume all the way to zero and switching to vibrate-only.

    Can't sign into Nokia HERE Drive Beta

    Ever since I updated to the latest version of HERE Drive Beta, I haven't been able to sign in. It just sits at "Connecting" (screenshot below). Has anyone come across this issue?

    can you save a video received via text?

    Unfortunately, there is no "save to phone" option for audio or video messages.

    I think the carrier is responsible for approving the update.

    Samsung co CEO dumps on Win8 and WP8

    It's obvious that their primary focus is Android. More manufacturers that support WP8 would be great but Nokia is doing an amazing job and HTC isn't doing bad either (they recently won the Red Dot design award for the 8X and 8S).

    Your turn - 8 things that Microsoft needs to fix in Windows Phone 8 right now.

    As HerronScott said, I meant silent mode (ringer/vibrate off). Other mobile operating systems allow you to easily switch between ringer, vibrate, and silent.

    Your turn - 8 things that Microsoft needs to fix in Windows Phone 8 right now.

    Call duration times. Custom SMS tones for contacts. Aggregation of multiple missed and outgoing/incoming calls from the same contact. Screen rotation lock. The option of exiting an app at the multitasking screen. The option of putting the phone in silent mode without having to go into settings...
