    Can't find stuff that I know is in the store

    Rakesh's example is clearly a lack of result that is not acceptable as we all know it's there. Another one for me that I recall, is Hyper for Youtube (RT/Win8x) that sometimes has been missing. So this ain't only a problem for the phone store, and I assume it might be going on when the stores...

    Start screen background image size

    If I'm nitpicking — no, then 1280 will not do for full quality as the selection of the start screen image clearly shows a 1:1 image is somewhat significantly cropped on the sides to make it “longer” and scrollable.

    Can't find stuff that I know is in the store

    I know it works going from the article links — if the app is available in my region (Norway), but I've seen this issue on applications that I've had on previous phones but deleted due to lack of space. Then it can't be related to (lack of) regional roll-out pace.

    Can't find stuff that I know is in the store

    Keep having issues finding applications that I know is out there. Today I had issues finding both applications I desired to have a look at, that Windows Central articles talks about. I get to the applications by links and so, but it frustrates me that searching the store on the phone so often...

    Extras+info not working

    That's the same behavior I had with Extras+Info, so try the tricks shared here. By logic, it should be a viable solution for you too.

    Start screen background image size

    The question is — how much more.

    Start screen background image size

    I should get a price for asking things nobody seem to know. Think I managed to do so back in my more active webOS days too. 8o/

    Extras+info not working

    No need for that as pankaj's link above your post solved it gracefully. I did search for it in the on-phone store, but couldn't find it — as happens to quite a few things I know is there.

    Extras+info not working

    It's still gone. Anyone know anything about how to get it back — without sacrificing any of my data or settings?

    Start screen background image size

    We "all" know the pixel size of the 830's screen, thus it's lock screen background image size. But ? how much taller is the scrolling background image of the start screen ... Does anyone have a link to a reliable source of such "technical" information of the OS/Phone?

    Do you use a case for your 830 or go naked?

    I've always gone (around) naked — with my phones. It's a everyday item and some wear and tear should be accepted. I'f we intend to keep it mint for resale, it's a tough job to sell "out-dated" technology even if it's in mint conditions. — So why bother beyond applying a careful mindset to avoid...

    Extras+info not working

    I tried/used the process too (jumping straight to 2114), and was as suggested offered to remove "Extras+Info" due to an "error" when starting it. Now that it's gone, I have restarted the 830 and tried both "Phone Update" (shouldn't be relevant as it's normally updated as an app) as well as...
