Maybe I am simply dense... I can't get my phone to look like that. What version of WP are you running there? My big complaint with that particular site was my inability to use pinch to zoom features. I know how to enable that in the phone now so I can go back to shopping at West Marine when I...

That fixes one half of my "issues"! I would have bet money that setting was not there... Thanks. Bruce

Have you tried to view this sire using WP 8.1? Go ahead, try... let me know how to view the site in desktop mode. It knows better than I do what it thinks I want...

Shame on me for thinking that I might exercise some control on my own data usage! I don't always want someone else making decisions for me... As to mobile sites being reformatted for my phones screen size sometimes it all works and sometimes... I still "vote" by simply refusing those sites that...

Well now, At least I am not alone! My answer, as I said earlier, is to avoid those sights. It is too bad as one of my reasons for switching to the Lumina in the first place was to take advantage of the linking of favorites in the IE browser. Seems silly, but I have a method of scanning my...

I like the real thing. I have my Lumia 1520 updated to 8.1/Cyan and I have the browser set to ask for the "desktop" version of a web site. I notice more and more sites forcing me to accept their mobile version and I hate it! This site is s perfect example. The mobile sites tend to be only...

That did the trick! I kept seeing the "Europe" after the app name and I assumed that it was for use in Europe only...:confused::confused:. Thank you much for point me in the right direction. Bruce

I just tried the link and got a message that said "Item not Available"....

Sorry, Here Drive Plus is what is missing now. I am beginning to wonder if in the series of phone updates I ran the phone through I somehow missed a Here Plus update before I ran the 8.1 for developers update thus removing it.entirely. Something along these lines happened I am not sure what...

So, I destroyed my Lumia 1520 when it fell from pretty high onto a rock (don't ask...). I have a new one that came today and after first updating the device to the latest version of WP 8.1 I figured out how to set the phone from a previous back up. After resetting the phone and restoring it I...

Simply touch and hold the link and a window pops up with a choice to open in a new tab....Or if you are looking for a new tab first simply open it first and then direct it to whatever favorite you want.

One of the WP 8.1 features I was looking forward to the most is the inclusion of my bookmarks on the phone. I see many of the bookmarks but not all! I keep my bookmarks in Folders in the "Favorites Bar" and some folders have populated entirely, some are partially populated and some are empty. I...

Almost there...... as the gears turn.

My phone is updating something........!
