farewell WP/WM. *warning: contains STRONG sentimentality* Firstly, this isn't a post designed to provoke or inflame and seriously, if there is a better place for this post feel free to move it mods. I genuinely hope this post is of some use to those out there this holiday season who are sick of...

what was the issue with the touch screen exactly?

Just received an SMS from the bank saying support for the app I am using will discontinue on 16/11/15. The best bit? The message includes a link to 'update' the app that takes you to.... the google play store. What is going on? One of the worlds biggest banks giving up on WP? As my bank and an...

cool, so unzip them into a new folder for instance and then move that on to the portable HD? also, the zipped onedrive file is something like 650mb in size, would that sound about right for the volume of files-8gb worth? EDIT: so i'm getting a "sorry, cant download folder bigger than 4gb..."...

Hey guys, I'm downloading my camera roll content on Onedrive and as I thought, its saving as a zipped folder (the pics total just under 8gb in size). If I move this zip file once its finished on to a portable Hardrive for back up, then that should be a hard copy of those files right? I should...

According to a community forum post, EE look to be taking pre orders for the 950... AND 950XL from 19/11. Their FB page is full of contradicting answer from various sales people but the forum is more promising.. any updates from any other carriers we should know about?, thought this would be a...

for o2? I dont understand why the carriers are all being cagey about the XL handset. Anyone know why this might be?

EE tweeted me the same answer re only the 950. Carphone Warehouse were first out of the gate with the video comparing the two devices is some detail so im hoping they do indeed carry the XL. Im assuming this obvious exception is the fact that the CFW are not a carrier in the strict sense and...

Wondered if anyone else noticed a significant jump in the load time on the 'improved' lock screen? Its noticeably snappier when entering the pin and waking to getting to the last page/program etc. For me previously, there was always lag at that moment but no longer..

So dat update... *crickets* :grincry: well, personally I'm glad it hadn't removed any functionality- and still works the way it always did.. So I'm relieved. Its just the way its always been.

Cheers guys, WJM, I am indeed using tpl lists-and have been for the majority of the time I've had the tablet from launch. infact it was some tips on improving the RT experience and performance I found on WPC here that suggested it- never had any issue with any browsing. Only recently have I had...

Can I ask a quick favour for those with a Surface 2? Can you check if you can access Lancaster University | Ranked in the UK Top 10 via the modern IE? It appears to be the ONLY web address I have ever come across that just won't open for me at all- its a university, and I've just started...

I'm not seeing anything particularly impressive- mostly optional 8.1 updates, none are large though. And the usual WD updates. It might be a pre curser to something but who knows!

Yeah, the 3rd is a tad hasty to be complaining.. I'm just as eager as anyone (yes,all 50 of us..) but hold tight. CANT WAIT FOR W10 ON IT! /s I'm also seeing the non rendering of the store icons on RT.. hmm... Hey, at least I don't have to see a promising icon before installing and then...

Thanks, glad I could highlight that missed instruction for idiots like myself lol How would you go about updating the list? I understand the lists are frequently published and updated by the people behind these host files but would it be a case of just re-running the procedure above with the...
