I have the original Surface Pro and I haven't really used it for a while because it was so slow. I tried to use it tonight and although it has a full battery and is plugged in, the screen keeps turning off after every few seconds. Is it just too old? Or can I somehow reset it (even though every...

Does anyone know where in Barcelona I can find a Nokia Lumia 1520 to handle? Like in a store? Every phone company I've gone to says they don't have it and don't know who might. I'd really like to be able to play with it before ordering it online (it looks like I'll have to buy it from Amazon...

I'm sure others have posted about this, but I could't find it. I have my Facebook Birthday Calendar turned off in the Calendar settings, but when I turn the Outlook Birthday Calendar on, all of the Facebook Birthdays come up. Why can't Microsoft understand that no one (or most people) don't want...

This is going to be a long one ... I apologize in advance!! I know that most people agree that the Xbox Music App on WP 8.1 a mess, but I haven't seen anyone report a couple of the things I'm experiencing so I wanted to know if there's a way of fixing them. Phone: Nokia Lumia 920 running WP...

That worked! Thanks! At first I was holding down the volume down button while it was turning back on, but it gave me a big exclamation point in the middle of a black screen and did nothing so I restarted again as normal and now it says 98%.

A few times since updating to 8.1 I have been typing using Swype (in whatsapp) and then suddenly the screen will freeze (with the swype trail frozen there on the screen) and after about 10 seconds it restarts itself. When it restarts, the battery is almost completely drained. The last time it...

So, this isn't specific to my Lumia 920 (at least I don't think it is) ... whenever I upload a picture to Facebook, Instagram or 6tag and try to tag the location, the only options/suggestions I ever get are places around me wherever I might be at that moment (which is usually at home to upload...

I would absolutely love to get a Lumia 930 when it comes out here in Spain, but after learning that there is no glance screen, I don't think I can manage. It's become quite critical to my daily use. I suppose I could adjust, but for now I'm seriously considering upgrading from my 920 to the...

Hi all! I just got a 920 and so far, after the extremely tedious task of reinstalling all of my apps, arranging them and reestablishing my settings (seriously, MS needs to fix the upgrade process), I love it. As a test to ensure that the custom ringtone I set worked (my 521 had lots of issues...

Thanks so much for the info!! One thing, though: I have to do that for EVERY SINGLE app??? I have to say, that is insane. I upgraded because I'm not a casual user and I needed more power and storage so I have a lot of apps. This MUST be fixed in the future if I'm to upgrade again (hopefully once...

So I just got a new Lumia 920 and I used the "Transfer My Data" app to get contacts from my 521, but none of my apps are there. I also used the Windows Phone app for Mac to transfer music, etc. I expected everything (apps, contacts, settings, etc.) to all be there once I logged in with my...

Hi All! I wanted to get some opinions. I currently use an iPhone 5 as my primary phone. In June I bought a 521 since it was so cheap just to play with the OS to see if it was for me. While I really like the OS, we all know that it is lacking some important features so this has prevented me from...

It's not so much the waiting as it is the waiting with NO information. If I knew what date to look forward to, that'd be one thing. But they just leave us hanging with nothing. I need a new phone very soon and because of the lack of information, they very well may end up losing my business.

This lack of information is really leading me towards NOT getting another Windows Phone. I don't understand why these companies think that never saying anything about release dates (OR first releasing products in markets that have not historically been receptive to them - like the US) is good...

I don't know about Android as I've never used it, but on iOS you can specify the type of notification every single app provides, including NO notification. This includes the notification center. You can specify whether notifications for a specific app can even appear in the notification center...
