    How much storage space should I leave for WP8 phone to run efficiently?

    Hmm, I'm thinking this phone won't last me too long then! It was only ?100 so not the end of the world if I get a new one after 6 months or sooner. MS need to find a way to get all the 'Other' stuff on to an SD card. Huawei are actually working on a 'Storage check' equivalent by the way I just...

    How to sign in to forums on app with Google account?

    I log in to my WPC account via Google, I assumed on the app I would just put in my username or my gmail account details and it would log in but I am getting incorrect username/password whenever I try. Should I create a normal account or is it possible to sign in in this way?

    How much storage space should I leave for WP8 phone to run efficiently?

    Rob that is Nokia only unfortunately as far as I am aware, I made another thread asking if there was an equivalent. Windows Phone 8 should come with basic info like that anyway, I was very surprised it didn't. I was choosing between the Lumia 520 and the Huawei, I went with the Huawei because of...

    How much storage space should I leave for WP8 phone to run efficiently?

    I've only had my Huawei Ascend W1 phone for about a week and I only have 469MB free space left as it only came with about 1.7GB useable space. How much space can I use up before I have to start deleting apps and such? I frequently use 'Storage Cleaner' which usually brings me back a 100MB or so...

    Possible to access WP8 versions of Windows 8 apps I already own?

    Ok I get it, obviously I'm not going to pay twice for the same game so its a bit annoying that some of them don't cross over (that are direct ports) linked to your xbox live account. Maybe a feature for the future.

    Possible to access WP8 versions of Windows 8 apps I already own?

    So I own a few apps on Windows 8 that are available on Windows Phone 8 too like Rayman Jungle Run but annoyingly it doesn't seem to be recognizing on my live account that I already purchased this game. Is there a way for me to make my account know I have already purchased this app and let me...

    How to see detailed overview of app sizes?

    Can anyone give me some tips on how they are managing there space on this device? I have only had it a few days and only have 800mb left. All videos/pictures/music is saved to the SD card, I really wish I could see a detailed list of what is taking up all my space!

    Unable to add Google Emails.

    Someone on the Google forums told me I had to put recent:username@gmail.com for it to work, I didn't know about the recent thing when adding multiple devices. All working fine now!

    Unable to add Google Emails.

    Another thing, I just tested sending emails from my phone using the Gmail accounts and I can send emails fine. So why can't I receive?! Edit: I tried to use imap by doing it manually changing 'Incoming email server' to 'imap.gmail.com:993' but then it gets stuck synching.

    Unable to add Google Emails.

    My phone is a Huawei Ascend W1, a relatively new phone but I don't know if it has GDR2. I don't care about synching my calendar or contacts or anything I just want to receive mail. I get my Gmail emails just fine on my Windows 8 tablet. Is there a step by step guide of how to set up Google Mail...

    How to see detailed overview of app sizes?

    Yeah I saw that on the web and I think it is just Nokia software. In settings there is 'phone storage' and then I go on 'phone' then it lists what is taking up space ('Music+videos 0 bytes' 'pictures 0 bytes' 'apps 495.52MB' 'other 674.17MB' 'system 1.55GB' 'free space 1.00GB'. I expected I...

    Unable to add Google Emails.

    I have three Google mail accounts that I need to access on my phone (Huawei Ascend W1) but none of the Gmails are showing any emails at all, I get no error messages or anything. My Hotmail emails show up just fine it is only Gmail that will not show me any emails. If I put a wrong password in...

    How to see detailed overview of app sizes?

    Because of the limited storage available on this device is there a way I can see a detailed list of all my apps and how much space they are taking up? I can't seem to find it if there is. Also I think I already know the answer (no) but is it possible to save offline maps to my SD card. I wish I...
