    Cannot reframe picture in Lumia Camera 5

    The reframing function has been transferred to Creative Studio, which is not installed by default (on my phone at least). Looks like MS no longer highlights the reframing feature like Nokia did when Lumia 1020/1520 were introduced. Can't say I'm not sad.

    Automatic wake-up when charging stops: is it possible to disable?

    Windows Phones, or at least Lumias, automatically wake up when charging stops. This happens whenever you unplug the charging cable, take the phone away from the wireless charging plate, and when the phone's charged 100%. I find this feature annoying especially when I'm using wireless charging...

    Use different Start Screen layouts on a SP3 for tablet/docked modes

    I've been using Windows 8.1 on my Surface Pro 3 as a tablet/laptop for quite some month now and am recently further extend its capability as a desktop with a docking station.

    How to share photos in full quality directly (not reduced 300kb format)

    Asked the same question sometime ago and the answer was this is not possible, at least directly. You may have to go to Pocket File Manager, whet you manually add the camera roll folder to the app, manually set the SMTP formation of your email services, browse through your pictures by name (sorry...

    Band vs. Surge, just my observations

    I eventually went for the Band instead of the Surge for email notification, but it's still good to read such insightful comparison between the two to see what I'm missing for the decision. Looks like the auto sleep mode truly is the function that is unique with the new Fitbit product. It's a...

    Is there an announcement video for the Band and where I can find it?

    I've been following most major announcements from Microsoft and Nokia for some time now. Impressive products usually get even more attractive when they are nicely introduced to the public. Announcements for the Lumia 1020 and the Surface line are truely exciting. My friends and me are...

    Emailing uncompressed pictures

    How may I email uncompressed pictures from WP 8.1? Either I tried to send the 38 MP one or the 5 MP one (using the Files app), they got compressed to somewhat between 200-300 kB, which is really annoying. I don't mind using more data, I just want things to be done in the way they should be. Thanks!

    Need help for an RSS reader that meets several requirements

    Sorry the bad feeling :P I actually just browse every TITLE of everyone of the articles and the abstract of a small portion of them, and the ones really interesting will be saved for later but serious reading.

    I'm writing a faster camera app (with full resolution support) for Lumia 1020...

    It does launch super fast and capture super fast. I'm just curious if it is possible to keep this speed once a ton of manual controls and the over-sampling trick are added.

    First I would like to thank you @ShreyansShah for the suggestions. I use RSS reader for both academic purposes and casual reading. I receive ~300 academic articles every day, and I must browse every single one of them before marking them as "read". This is time consuming and when I am busy with...

    Emails not getting pushed to phone

    Yes, only for paid accounts as far as I know.. And that's why I am surprised when I see the Push option for Yahoo email on my Surface, which always has syncing problems though.
