I hold the handrails very loosely, just for balance, and I make sure my wrists move up and down while walking. My Band registers pretty close to the treadmill count. I've been using the exercise tile for the treadmill, and the Run tile for outdoor walks. Might try the Run tile with gps off.

I'm on my 3rd or 4th Band 1 (peeling, clasp breaking off). My last one has the plastic armor on it, including the batteries. It's lasting a lot longer (about 8 months now). It is splitting now. I use super glue and electrical tape to keep it functional. I didn't buy Band 2 because it didn't look...

I was also wondering about durability, I'm on my third or 4th Band 1, and it's now wrapped in electrical tape. I'm out of warranty now, I was looking at getting a Band 2 once this one dies. Durability --rubbery covering splitting, end of strap breaking off, etc has been absolutely terrible with...

Lumia 950XL. Bigger screen, bigger battery, Snapdragon 810 with liquid cooling system. Says it all!

SMS requires Skype credit, in other words, money.

I'm on a store site using https and getting the popup on every page. Never mind the dam browser won't scroll until the page fully renders (same problem IE has). Top it off with no support for addons like RoboForm, I find myself back in IE or Chrome most of the time.

Give it a few weeks. The Microsoft Band was a highly secret project, so features are missing. Most of the people working at Microsoft didn't hear about it until the public release. Health Vault and SDK work is in progress -- I couldn't get an ETA. I do expect quick progress, especially now the...

Camera on my 920 has a focusing problem in WP 8.0 and 8.1 Tap to focus, perfect, tap again, picture is taken out of focus. Happens especially in close ups and low light pictures. Is this a hardware bug?

I have a Nokia 920, BlueAnt ST3, and Camry Hybrid 2007. All work perfectly with WP8.0, especially the ST3. Now Cortana cannot call anyone because she cannot hear/understand what I say. If I dial via the phone, the speakerphone volume is to low to use, and the mic is also turned way down. I tried...

With WP8.1, Cortana/voice commands are failing when connected to Bluetooth. Happening with my BlueAnt ST3 and My Camry 2007. Both worked perfectly before upgrading to WP8.1 It appears that both the microphone and speaker volume are way too low. Cortana cannot understand any of my commands...

Same problem with my BlueAnt ST-3 and my 2007 Camry. Sometimes it hears me, but doesn't even remotely recognize any contact name that I want to call. Old version worked very well for hands free calling.

Re: How to flash ATT Lumia 920 with amber I'm waiting until the end of September, then I will flash using these instructions. If there is no word of the Amber update from ATT, then I believe that they plan to skip it, and probably gdr3 and 8.1. Their track record points to delaying until the...

Battery Saver Hmm, looks like an app is needed... Should be simple to write one. Tag will be "battery saver shortcut" 1st item will be simply create a tile to pin that you can turn on manually.... Turning it on permanently might be difficult or impossible, need to research. Changing the battery...
