You are spot on, I love Windows phone OS. Thin devices were rare though last year and no OEM DLNA apps from Yamaha (amp) & LG (TV). I can't wait to come back home hence I'm always reading WP Central. Android has many thin devices with plethora of apps but most I use were available except...

After getting my 1st smart phone, Sony Xperia X1 on contract, I became attached to Windows on phones. I skipped WP7 devices as it was a major step down from WM 6.5. After WP8 I moved from Android to WP8 after getting tired of regular late nights trying to get a smoother experience flashing...

My wife's Lumia 1520 and my 640 Dual SIM LTE don't charge at all with the standard 1A chargers after updating to 10586.71. They both only charge with my tablets 2,5A charger. It's a nightmare currently as I travel often and can't recharge on the road. I'm obviously worried about the damage to...

Hi. 1) I'll use the bigger screen to process work (emails, Excel, Onenote, Edge) on the road instead of using my tablet. 2) I'll use Continuum on the road to work at clients stations, public spaces with TV's or monitors and also friends homes to process work and show of awesome content from my...

Whether MS has given up or not on is irrelevant to me now as I've given up. After years of using Windows Phone I'm monitoring the cost of Android devices. I'll rather deal with the adverts on Android then the crashes and degrading of Windows Phone 8.1 to 10. I had so much hope but looking at the...

I'm getting my L640 dual SIM in 2 days from Orange in South Africa. Currently using Samsung Ativ S and LG P970 but with Ativ S my preferred hotspot device. I hope I won't have internet sharing issues as I use my Lenovo Tab 2 on the road for business which connects to internet via hotspot.

re: Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects I'm really concerned now after reading about all these bugs as I'm awaiting delivery of a new yellow 1520 for my wife.

When you have numerous wi-fi connections it makes sense to be able to select which one you want to connect to when turning WiFi on. For turning WiFi off though a simple tap would have been great.

Hi. I've noticed the audio quality over Bluetooth in my car has improved. 2G also working now. No reboots or freezing encountered.

Hi. While on GDR2, I had the same problem on CellC network in South Africa. Changed CSC and Rom without success. After upgrading to GDR3 last week, 2G working fine now so my battery goes further. I only use wattsapp on 2G while at work unless working out of office then I switch to 3G to download...

OS version: 8.0.10517.150 Firmware: 2424.13.10.1 Hardware: 15.15.10 Radio software: 2424.13.9.1

GDR3 is available for download, checked last night. I'm based in South Africa and have a none network Ativ S which I bought online.

I lock onto satellites without any aids in less then 15sec when 100km from last destination on my Ativ S. When in same town as last destination its less then 5sec. I play golf and use GPS rangefinder regularly.

Official GDR3 is now available in South Africa, sim free Ativ S, just checked yesterday. Will post screenshots when I manage to download as my data is limited. Samsung support is awesome. I also use Samsung apps and get regular updates.

Hi. I just checked and GDR3 is available for download in South Africa though I'll only download it when I'm on a WiFi connection with sufficient data. ����
