I should have spent more time reading paper in the box than online forums. Thanks for the quick replies.

I bough one of the $199 DVP 8s online Monday and actually got it yesterday with the free shipping (LA to San Diego, so not that long of a haul.) I already have a Lumia 920, so I'm very happy with the Windows 8 on handhelds, still running 7 on my desktop. The special mentioned a "free" MS...

I have a different problem with the Amber update and BT. I have a 920 and use a Belkin AirCast in my car. All worked fine before, but now that the Nokia FM radio tuner is switched on, when I connect the BT, I hear static through the phone's speaker, since it thinks I want to listen to the...

I use the gMaps app daily for real-time traffic, navigating my San Diego commute alternate routes. For actual navigation, which might be a couple times a month, the Nokia (Here) Drive app seems to work fine, and has a good time prediction, even heading through Orange County and LA. One...

Another data point.. I was having the same issue earlier this week, which was annoying. I tried a few of the different suggestions, blowing air, wiping the screen with a cloth, pressing on one corner or another, etc. I do have a screen protector on my phone, one because I was thinking I might...

Today is my 2 week point with my 920, where I could have taken it back. I switched from an iPhone 4, mainly because I never want to give Apple any of my money ever again. I'm down to one MacBook Pro after nearly 30 years as loyal customer. I smiled when Steve Jobs left us. Karma. I am...

That would have been a good album cover when I was in my band in the late 80s/early 90s (electronic/industrial). That is me in my dad's mad scientist lab, probably '69 or '70. It's odd that gMaps seems to make your phone drain, and gMaps seems to not cause me much of a problem at all, Nokia...

Yes, soft reset (not sure exactly what that did) and the suggestions in the Cnet video. The link is in Post #5 on the first page of this thread. Here is the link again. There was one Nokia app that I did turn off in the background, it might have been City Lens or Local Scout, which, I...

Another update for me: I took my phone off the (wireless) charger yesterday around 6:30 AM, and now as of 4:30 PM the next day, I still have 28% battery life yet. This was the level I was at on Wednesday after only about 6-7 hours, with no real difference in use, other than the changes I...

I am getting some odd results, but I haven't really spent much time figuring out what is bad or good. Yesterday it was draining fast, probably 45% down from the morning until lunch, the draining at a rate of 5% per 15 minutes just sitting idle. I did a soft reset (just learned about that...

I can see why some people wish to not have an iOS or Android-style notification center. I, however, do. I use very few apps. I use my phone as, one, a phone, two, as a texter, and three, as an emailer. There are many times in the day that I'm working in the shop, with either coolant or oil...

Actually, after poking around a few other threads, I found out that MetroRadio basically is a client for Pandora. You can log into your Pandora account, all your playlists are there, and can set it up to keep the artist data on screen with the prevent lock options. Very cool. Now I don't even...

I finally gave up on my iPhone after 4 years. No more money to Apple, if that's possible. I was wondering if with Nokia Music or any other music apps, is it possible to continuously show the artist/title, etc. on the screen when driving? There is no setting that I can find to allow this...
