    What is The Best Music player on The Market ?

    I join this topic because I'm really looking for a good music player, without luck. For me, two features are really important: 1- last.fm integration (or a way to sync the play count back to the PC) 2- Reads .m3u or .pla playlists So far, I really liked ZBox and ModernMusic, but none of them...

    [Zbox/Modernmusic] Do they read m3u/pla playlists?

    When it comes to "imported" playlists (created with a program other than Xbox Music) it often fails to recognize them properly. Usually, the first time I import a playlist everything is fine, but if then I try to update it with a different version (still created by another program) it creates...

    [Zbox/Modernmusic] Do they read m3u/pla playlists?

    Hello everyone As many others, I am very unhappy with the Xbox Music and the way Windows Phone handles music in general. I have found the two apps mentioned in the title (Zbox and Modern Music) and both offer a very good alternative for my needs (I don't stream, I have a large collection of...

    LCD gets whithish when I push the screen

    So, it seems normal... Actually, the severity of the things seems to be changing: yesterday evening, even a slight touch in the bottom part of the phone leaded to a halo in the middle of it. Today, I actually need to push in the center to see the halo, while the problem doesn't show with normal...

    LCD gets whithish when I push the screen

    Hello I have bought a 435 Dual SIM few days ago to replace my 620. I am quite satisfied with it, but I do have a problem who makes me think whether or not I should send it back... Basically, I see a whitish halo around the center of the screen when I touch it. It is the same thing that...

    Lock the screen via software?

    Hello everyone... The power button of my Lumia 620 left me (about 5 days out of warranty...) I have already ordered a cheap 435 for replacement, but it will take 5 to 10 days to arrive, so I will have to use my broken 620 for a while. I activated the "double tap to wake" function, so I can...

    Live tiles not updating and internet connection

    Hello everyone... It's now almost August, and like last year I'm now on holidays somewhere abroad, without a mobile internet connection, but with large presence of WiFi. Like last year, in this situation, most of my live tiles stopped updating. I can count on a massive presence of wifi (I'm...

    Microsoft owns Skype... and GroupMe, why are they not owning messaging?

    I also would like to know what is going on with Skype. I even posted a similar topic few days ago: http://forums.windowscentral.com/skype/284656-what-microsoft-trying-do-skype.html It would be really nice if the people at WPCentral could get some insights on this matter...

    iOS8 is overkill!

    This. I'm sorry, but this is what I would call the "three screens" vision. iPhone, iPad, Mac perfectly integrated. Meanwhile, top of the integration reached by WP is what... Project your screen? Sorry, but while MS announces, Apple delivers...

    #WhatsApp - How does the WP world go on spinning??

    I don't know about Line and Telegram (I suppose they are ok), but Kik is not updated since ages on WP and Skype (shame on Microsoft) is completely unreliable to be used for messaging, while FB messaging is slooow as hell. Anyway, I don't only agree with the OP, but I also call BS on the whole...

    Major problem with Bing AND Nokia HERE maps.. and Cortana's geofencing as a result.

    IMHO, errors have always been, and probably will always be in the maps. Mapping the world is already a fairly hard task, and mistakes happen. Plus, things change fast and it is difficult to stay up to date. But Nokia really needs to find a system to stay up to date. As example, listening to...

    What is Microsoft trying to do with Skype?

    So apparently everyone thinks MS is most definitely underdelivering with Skype.. It would be good to have some insights on why this is happening, and what is the vision MS has with Skype..

    What is Microsoft trying to do with Skype?

    Three years ago, approximately this time of the year (May 2011) Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5bn. When that happened, we all thought that was a strategic move, and we all fantasized about seamless integration in Windows Phone. It looked just like a natural consequence. Where are we now...

    What do you LIKE about the new Music app?

    To me, the fact that it works! I didn't get duplicate music so far, things that was regularly happening with WP8. Now I slowly can listen to my music... Better than nothing! Ah, and making playlists from phone is easier! Hopefully, once they fix the slowness, it may become a fairly decent app!
