@infestedd, this might sound like a dumb question (since you posted this in the 928 forum) but is your phone a 928 or 920? I only ask because the screenshot you posted shows AT&T apps which I believe are only available to AT&T branded phones, of which, the 928 isn't one of them.

From my experience, you may want to reboot (power down/up) your phone after doing some heavy gaming. I noticed that the battery continues to drain at an accelerated rate even after I'm done. The first time I really took notice was a couple of weeks ago, the battery completely drained overnight...

@Lysergix, have you tried turning off Glance to see if that might be what's causing the problem. I have read some forum members mention they had some problems with their phones, usually touch screen related, and that turning off Glance seems to have resolved their issues. Might be worth a try.

Just got off the phone with Microsoft support and was told partial payments can't be made at this time. They will be enabled in the future after they're done completely changing payments over to local currencies from Microsoft points. In my account, it shows the credit is set to expire in...

Hey does anybody know how to enable partial payments? I want to buy NBA Jam, which costs 2.99 + tax, but I only have 2.76 left. With gift cards I've used in the past, if the credit is insufficient to cover the purchase, whatever credit there is is deducted from the total and then you can choose...

Congrats on the purchase, hopefully it'll work out better for you. I stopped by AT&T and took a look at the 1020. It's a nice phone with a ridiculous camera, but I just wouldn't be able to justify the camera hump considering I don't take that many pictures. Plus, I'm grandfathered into...

Soft reset is volume down + power button at the same time, you have to hold it for about 10-15 seconds. I haven't had to do it myself yet, but you might want to have it plugged in to the charger to be on the safe side. Hopefully that helps, otherwise you may want to stop by Verizon (assuming you...

@jleebiker, I also paid full retail so I could keep my unlimited data, and got the $25 app credit. You had to sign up on this page, Window Phone App Redemption. It's expired but the terms are still at the bottom of the page. john

@Zomby Jeezus That sucks, seems to me you had some really bad luck with your 928. I've had mine since mid-June and the only issue physically is the yellow soft keys (been there since day one) and some wear marks on the back from taking it in and out of the pouch I use. Personally, I don't...

Great thread. Nice to see the 928 being compared to some of the other popular smartphone cameras directly, instead of by proxy by way of the 920. I get that the 928 has the same camera module as the 920, but it would have at least been nice to see some low light comparisons to see how it fares...

Yeah, the black 928 is definitely sexy. I was pretty much set on getting the 928 in white to switch things up from the black trophy I've had for the past two years, but when I saw them side by side, the black one just called out to me. Each finish has it's pro and cons, the matte doesn't really...

No problem. Good luck on finding a pair that you like. My one last piece of advice is to check the return policy on earphones from the retailer you buy them at. Some places will not accept returns (in case you don't like them) on earphones if the package has been opened.

CDiS99, you're gonna be pretty limited in the offerings at that price. I didn't want to spend that much on earphones myself. Never spent more than $20 on a pair before and typically just use whatever is bundled, but I found myself gradually looking at higher price points as I couldn't find...

I bought a pair of Audio Technica CKM500IS. Has a mic and control button which can be used to play/pause/answer/end call (one click), skip track (two clicks), previous track (three clicks), and voice command (long press). Also has a volume dial, the max volume being whatever the volume is set to...
