    The best way to install Windows 10 Tech Preview:

    Thanks man, saves me the trouble of trying what works myself.

    New icons?

    This is all up to one's preference, but personally I'm a sucker for flat icons. The revamped File Explorer icon gave me hope that they were going to change up all their system icons, but it seems from the previews that it's still the same old Windows Vista style that I'm so tired of. Kinda...

    What else do you want Cortana to help you with?

    "Cortana, find me the picture I took of my drunk friend kissing a stray dog and send it to him."

    Hate the new music and video apps, nuff said.

    My laptop hates my phone

    Yes, but just a regular old wireless mouse and wired keyboard, so i don't see why that should cause a problem. How can you tell it's a bandwidth problem, by the way?

    My laptop hates my phone

    Since the start of my Lumia 720's lifespan and WP8.0, I've always had problems with connecting my phone to my computer via USB. At first I didn't notice a problem as it was just like another Android phone's connection, except a bit slower to recognize the phone. Note that I don't have the app to...

    Lumia discharged completely. Battery not charging

    Wow, that service center doesn't know what it's doing at all, and even messed up your phone further...I got this exact same problem before that when it drops to low battery and powers off itself it can't charge or boot again...I took it to my service center and they said that the battery voltage...

    What is your perfect device?

    The perfect (WP) phone for me: Legendary Lumia 920 design (maybe 1mm thinner, I don't need wireless charging) Slimmer bezels and slightly smaller frame 4.7 inch SLCD3 1280x768 display Yellow Matte finish 2GB RAM Snapdragon 805 1.8GHz (2+ ghz is overkill imo), clock to 2.4GHz only when taking...

    How to use Cortana outside of the US?

    I'm sure many people would like to know how to use Cortana even though they're outside the US, or if it's even possible. I tried changing my region in the settings to United States, but it didn't work, I'm just getting the generic voice command screen, albeit a different one from in 8.0. Is this...

    Can Windows Phone Get Viruses?

    Any system can theoretically get viruses, but Windows Phone is not open source like Android or Windows and therefore, has a stronger "immune system", so to speak. Besides, if Microsoft can't get app developers to make apps specifically for Windows Phone, what makes you think hackers will bother...

    AppStudio developer status revoked...?

    I tried it, and it logs in just fine, but since there's no indicator of whether I'm registered or not I just used the Windows Dev Center suggested method of unlocking my device via the app in the SDK. Now my existing deployed XAP works fine on my phone, but deploying XAPs still gives me the...

    AppStudio developer status revoked...?

    No I haven't, which site are you referring to? The AppStudio site or WIndows Phone?

    AppStudio developer status revoked...?

    Like many of the people who participated in the GDR3 (and soon GDR4) Developer Preview Program, you probably went for the "Lite" developer status that allows you to participate in it and also deploy a maximum of 2 homebrew apps. That's what I did, and at first it worked perfectly: I was on GDR3...

    Am I the only one disappointed in the 930's design?

    I'm not going to lie - I was stunned by the Lumia Icon when it showed up on Verizon. Amazing specs, and a tough industrial design, just what I expected after the distinctly different Lumia 925. What I didn't expect was for the Lumia 930 to look like this. The tough industrial design language...

    coloredBlocks

    Hi, I've just downloaded the trial to try it, and here's my honest feedback. Beware though, because I'm quite a perfectionist and will criticize even the tiniest details. These are just suggestions, though. - Is the game too complicated? No I think the complexity is fine, at least from the...
