    Lumia 620 - Battery query

    Ouch, only 1400mAh, huh. Every little bit would probably help, but for $44.50 (US) I'm not sure it's worth it for me.

    Nokia 620 or the Nokia 720

    Trying out a 620 now (yellow!) and I love it! Buuuuut the battery :( The camera was what was tempting me about the 720 before, but the size and the price of the 620 won me over. After a full day of use, I definitely am noticing the small battery, though :/ How *huge* (and heavy) does the 720...

    Todays App Updates

    Rdio.... but I'm not sure what this fixes... Tried skipping a few songs in a row and.. yup, still broke. Bout to give up on you, Rdio :/ Sad as I think your PC/web apps are phenomenal.

    Scruff released!

    Noticed this morning that Scruff came out of beta and is available in the marketplace. Happily attached, but it's great to see some mainstream social apps for the gay community like this come to Windows Phone. I downloaded and saw it is indeed cross platform. Logged into the account I had on my...

    Push notifications not working!!!

    Just started having similar issues this past several days. I'm on WP8, boyfriend is on WP7 and we're both getting notifications for Whatsapp messages received well after the actual message was sent. He's in Argentina, I'm in US (AT&T). I don't rely on push notifications for many apps other than...

    Do,you,keep,hitting,comma,instead,of,space?

    Haha, found this thread because I wasn't having the problem until I installed another language in my keyboard the other day. Really disappointed as I want to write in Spanish sometimes :( But hitting the comma is so annoying. I was already hitting b and v as it was :(

    Driving me nuts!!!!

    So frustrated by this, too. I love the Windows Phone platform, and for the last two years I've used my phone and my main PC as music organization central. Now both are such a mess :(

    [REF] Possible OS Improvements

    Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't understand the "fix" to auto-hide the current song playing on the lock screen after a few seconds. Maybe this should be optional? I barely have time to hear what song it is before it goes away. Maybe a hybrid approach... if I wake up my phone, and actually skip a...

    Anyone making international phone calls with Skype (WP8)?

    Update: yes... that was definitely the problem. Thank you so much for helping me there! Got to talk to the boyfriend even though his internet is down this week... Yay for Skype (but, no yay for expensive international rate) :/

    Anyone making international phone calls with Skype (WP8)?

    I just looked and someone said the same about Argentina (needing a 9). I will give that a shot as soon as my next window opens. I appreciate your help. And to be sure, because we're using Skype, we do *not* have to enter the USA exit code at the beginning? (011)? I'm not used to making...

    Anyone making international phone calls with Skype (WP8)?

    I just bought Skype credits and I'm trying to call a mobile number in Argentina, but the app says "invalid number" almost instantly after dialing. I'm wondering if there's a problem with the app. It seems strange that there's a country code in the number AND a drop-down of the country code/flag...

    Speck CandyShell - Red (photos, initial impressions)

    The camera lens on the back was gathering dust and because of the small size of the cases opening there I had to dig in with the microfiber cloth and even then the dust just stuck around the edges, sticking to the rubber lining. From experience with other phones, I was worried dust would get...
