    Poor Quality Picture/Sound Through Mini DislayPort

    I've just purchased a mini displayport to hdmi cable to connect my Surface Pro 3 to the TV. Once connected the picture seems to have a lot of tearing, pink and green pixels and is flickery, and the sound is very loud and crackley Everything works fine if I connect a different laptop, also using...

    Touchscreen scrolling choppyness!

    Noticed this on mine too... It's not a huge issue, just not as smooth as if could be.

    UK Cortana not chatty

    Good to see she's slowly becoming chatty... Personally I don't see the benefit of changing the voice. I don't have an issue with it, but it doesn't make it any better or worse... It's definitely lacking the warmth of Jen though :straight:

    Nokia Lumia 930 Bugs and Defects

    So far we've had one 930 in our household swapped as it would occasionally come up with a SIM error at random, even after replacing the SIM. The other occasionally (at random) decides to not respond to touch when unlocking, and can only be sorted by restarting the phone. Not had this one...

    IMEI number invalid?

    If it's from the Carphone Warehouse (and as in your screenshot) it's the CV-GBIE variant, and therefore should already be unlocked? I know mine was... Possibly why they say your IMEI is invalid as it's not on their list to unlock :straight:

    Is the i3 model really worth it? If I was going to purchase this, should I save for the i5?

    Stuck making the same choice here... Currently using a MacBook Pro from 2011 with an i5-2415, and a Surface 2. I could never justify a Pro 2 to replace both of these, but the Pro 3 is looking extremely promising. Not particularly bothered about storage, I don't keep much on here, and a lot of...

    Different Vibrations in 8.1

    It seems to depend on the sound alert selected I think? Having my text messages set to 'default' gets the usual single buzz, changing it to 'alert 1' for example, gets the 3 buzzes... Not sure if there's more to it than this though?

    Easily Flash any Lumia 920 with full Amber/GDR2 features!

    Re: How to update any L920 to GDR2/Amber in 13 easy steps! Got fed up waiting and installed this! Went smoother than I expected... :-D Would have done it sooner if I'd know it would let me restore from backup. Previously I needed to choose my data settings after it was setup before I could do...

    Amber Update UK Thread

    Disappointed to see we're still sat on 'Coming Soon' I can only assume that no matter how soon it's approved (though with the unlocked version, I don't see any excuse at all) it still depends on when Nokia see us worthy of actually being allowed it :eck:
