I need to fix this scenario: I'm in an audience, and taking photos or recording audio with the phone. Many times, a loud noise like applause will trigger the "I'm sorry I didn't get that" (or words to that effect) from the phone. And I forgot to turn down the audio volume. Kind of embarrassing...

Spyware depends on your definition. If I load hundreds of songs into my wp8.1 and use xbox music, it apparently goes out to the net and downloads all the album artwork when the album metadata is set. I consider this a spyware activity. I don't see a way to turn this off.

This is a pubic safety issue. Of course the app was there before, on windows phone 8.1. It was not in the app list anywhere... I was able to reinstall it later at my leisure, but still... it should not have been uninstalled, by what I can only assume was some sort of update. These vital apps are...

Here Drive was removed from my phone without asking.

For some reason I can't reply to my thread on video size limits but this is a follow up to that. I have a 64GB microSD card in Nokia 820. My videos stop recording at 4GB. So I must have FAT formatting - I never formatted it myself after receiving it. But I have read that cards >32GB are...

Nokia 820/wp8.1: I find I can't record more than about 4GB of video (720p), or about 53 minutes. The video stops recording at that point. Are there software limits, or camera limits, anything? I can't find any published specs for this. I have a 64GB memory card.

Q: Do you know Bill Gates? A: I can't imagine a world without him. Q: How old are you? A: Hard to say. Time works differently in here. Q: What is the meaning of life? A: I've heard from a reliable source that the answer is 42. But still no word on what the question is.

" backcountry navigator" has not been ported to wp 8.1. The other apps mentioned just don't work.

I am walking part of the john muir trail (sierras) in july. I can't find any topo map applications that show the trails in the mountains. I have tried the bing maps, google maps, etc. but nothing is suitable because they don't show the trails. Especially anything that is available offline. This...

Since I have the nokia 820 the data on my micro sd card was not lost. So I am almost whole again.

Thank you. I had to do the hard reset and had to reenter all my setup info. I have wi-fi now but I lost all my data: pictures, email contacts, app data (hiking history), etc. I think this is a serious bug in the upgrade process. Have lost faith in the product going forward.

Not for me, it bricked my wi-fi.

I 'upgraded' my nokia 820 developer phone to 8.1 today. I no longer have wi-fi. All it does when I try to enable it is show "can't do this right now...Try again in a little while. If the problem continues..". Well it's bricked. I can no longer use the phone. Note: I do not have a provider, I...

Today I 'upgraded' to wp 8.1. I can no longer connect to my local wifi router. wp 8.1 has essentially bricked my phone. Note: I do not have a sim card but have been using my nokia 820 developer phone for months using wifi only.
