    How to use the Armchair CEO Forum!

    It wouldn't matter what I did on day one. The company will never recover from buying Nokia when it should have bought BlackBerry. That was the point of no return. Everything that has happened since then is the domino effect from that decision. BlackBerry was offering everything that Nokia was...

    Yup, fixed for me too. Odd, but I'll take it.

    You could always try DP. If you don't like it you can use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to revert back.

    New Windows Phone 8.1.1 build 14203 download 11/13/14

    On my L620 after the update my Glance screen will no longer show when waving my hand over the front camera, and when I press the power button it takes a bit longer before it will show the lock screen than it did before. The glance screen comes on as normal a few seconds after I lock the phone...

    Which Bluetooth Car Stereo should I get for Music and Cortana?

    I installed the Alpine CDE-W235BT. Its Bluetooth integration with Windows phone 8.1 is pretty good. Calls are as you would expect, but there is some room for improvement in the way it handles an incoming text (SMS). This head unit will auto pause the Bluetooth streaming when a SMS comes in, but...

    Which Bluetooth Car Stereo should I get for Music and Cortana?

    I also would like to know this. Did you find one that works? I need a 2-Din replacement for my '06 Nissan Altima. I recently rented a '14 Altima and the BT integration with my L620 was amazing! Everything worked, Calling, SMS, Cortana, NAV voice over and Music. Can anyone recommend a 2-Din head...

    One Note not syncing

    I wonder if you just need to trust the new phone in your Microsoft account (and remove the old one while you're in there).

    Bluetooth/Xbox Music/ UE Boom Problem

    Since you have a few different items involved with this issue, you'll have to narrow it down a bit first. For example: Does this issue happen with other music apps such as mix radio? Have you tried playing a video to see if you can hear sound? If you have another BT speaker / headset, you could...

    Does Microsoft has a deal with Starbucks that we don't know about?

    This seems like a deliberate redirect. I know they both have their HQs in Washington State, so maybe.

    A Week With Windows Phone 8.1 - an Android User's Experience

    Thanks Robert. As for your shopping list app: I was wondering why you were unable to sync OneNote to your Wife's Android device. I use OneNote for my family's shopping lists and it syncs just fine. It also allows me to edit the lists on my laptop, and then use them on my phone while at the...

    New apple ad vs Microsoft ad

    Apple makes good products, but it's their marketing that makes the "seem" to be the best in the market. The issue as I see it is, Apple product are "good enough" for most people, so there is no reason for these people to shop around. They just re-up when the next Apple product is released. If...

    Dual USB 12v Charger recommendation needed...

    Thank you both for your replies. @Guytronic = Good idea, I could use the 2.1 Amp USB port for one phone (Pulling 1.3 Amps), and the Nokia AC adapter in the AC port of this inverter for the other phone. This option is not a clean an tidy as a dual 12v charger, but it would work, so I'll keep it...

    Dual USB 12v Charger recommendation needed...

    Hello I have 2x Nokia Lumia 620 phones that I want to charge while on a long road trip (Running GPS). I need a dual USB port 12v charger that can charge both phones at full AC speeds. I know the Nokia AC wall charger outputs 1.3 Amps, but I can only find dual 12v chargers that have one port at 1...

    Battery life on auto brightness

    I leave all my settings (Brightness=Auto, WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, etc) on by default, and often get 3 to 5 days of usage. Note: I don't use cell data (Only WiFi) and I turn my phone off when sleeping.
