    Microsoft Pay teams up with Masterpass

    I think I vaguely remember when this came out, but nobody really did anything with it so it was a "that's nice" feature. This is actually the first bit of anything I've seen about their solution in some time.

    Microsoft To-Do is fantastic

    I have it installed. It's just not there yet. It might be decent for basic to-do lists, but I for a short list, I can't: * nest things * set decent reminders * set up recurring tasks * share tasks/lists I can do a lot of those in Wunderlist. I can use Todoist and do all of those (even if it...

    Figured that out. Just never could get that earlier version to show up and launch. Not sure if that's because I tried the store version or not. Still - got it working thanks to your pointer to that registry key. Hoping the steps can help others who want to mute that shutter sound when it's...

    Native VOIP Possible w/ x3?

    Thanks. I'll check into that. Was hoping I could just flip my normal number over to VOIP like I could w/ the iPhone, but looks like that's not possible. No worries. Wanted to check. Zoiper and the like could be useful if I sign up for a VOIP service.

    According to this post, Tweaks were removed in later versions. Apparently there were some issues prompting the developer to remove the tweaks and they'll eventually be added back...

    Elite X3 still worth it in mid 2017

    If you can get a decent deal and are already a WM/WP user it's not a bad device. My main gripes are no camera button and the shutter volume being really hard to change/turn off. You can't fix the camera button, but with some work you can disable the shutter sounds. Can't do much about the app...

    Native VOIP Possible w/ x3?

    Thinking something like the iPhone with it's "Make Calls over Wireless" or T-Mobile's stuff they built in to use wireless instead of cell for voice when possible. (Not sure if Android has this natively or not) I wasn't sure if MS or HP had ever invested in making that work w/ WP. I know I could...

    I absolutely do _not_ see that screen at all. Wondering if I have the wrong version of the Interop app installed or something. I tried going back to the 1.9 version from XDA, but it didn't seem to want to install properly so just stuck w/ the "current" version you can get from the store (and...

    Native VOIP Possible w/ x3?

    I have an iPhone for work. It has an option to use the wireless network for phone services instead of trying to use the cell network. (For times when there's no service, but there is a wireless network.) Pretty sure I've seen similar on Android devices. Is this possible without Skype or...

    OK - one final followup. I ended up interop unlocking the device. I still don't see the camera tweaks under the "Tweaks" setting, but followed all of the instructions from the post in the XDA Thread. Steps here for anyone trying to follow along. Look up this thread on interop unlocking on...

    notification sounds

    And for some reason, I just do not see the "shutter sound" in the tweaks area. I see LED settings, but not shutter sounds. I've seen registry editing to tweak that, but would rather avoid that if possible. Tried 1.9.437 and the latest 2.5.4. Also have trouble seeing what I'm choosing because...

    That was my next step. Looking at XDA and saw the tools, but haven't tried to get it installed on my x3 yet. Sounds like exactly what I'd want, though. I need to get a Win10 box going to install from everything I've been reading. Sounds like copying some certs, use the Win10 box to install over...

    Alcatel open market 4s

    Was hoping that this device's release in the EU would mean a new/fixed firmware at the least. Sad to see that still hasn't happened, but glad to hear that Alcatel will eventually ship back a proper open market device with enough prodding. (Apparently many detailed notes in the ticket and RMA...

    notification sounds

    Anyone try setting the reg key or have any success with these files? As noted, the sounds are just insanely loud when they're not required for regions like the US. Was shocked at how loud the sound was to turn on video. Makes it a bit harder to capture moments when the kids are being kids...

    Alcatel open market 4s

    Pretty much exactly that. They didn't fix my old phone - they sent me back a completely different one. I had a new IMEI and everything. It was locked to T-Mobile. I popped in my ATT SIM and SD card before powering on and was told almost immediately that I needed an unlock code for that SIM card...
