Re: My music is out of order! You'll need to edit either the filenames, the tags or both. The track numbers should have leading zero's as in - 01, 02, 03 ... 10 so that the place values line up correctly when in vertical order see examples below. Without leading zero's: 1 10 2 3 4 40 41 5...

I have pretty large fingers and have always found this difficult but I got to say that for me it got a lot better when I moved from WP 7.5 to 8.1 not the other way around. 7.5 was literally impossible for me. I gave up trying and just backspaced to the error and retyped everything. With 8.1 I...

I'm missing something. I've never had a chance to use NFC to pay for anything yet and today at lunch I found that the restaurant had new terminals with the capability but it was too late since I had already swiped my card. I was planning on trying it out next time using my new HTC One M8 and MS...

Re: Hide streaming in xbox music Open Xbox Music, tap ... and choose settings. Turn off "Connect to streaming music".

Quiet hours is one of the best features of WP. I have it set every night while I'm sleeping and use it to monitor calendar meetings so it doesn't start ringing while giving a presentation to the boss or in the dentist chair. I set up an inner circle so really important calls still can get...

I use Windows Media Player to rip, tag and sync my music. I also just copy and paste occasionally. Never had a problem with either method.

Go to Settings > Lock Screen and change the timeout, download the maps and then go back and restore your timeout.

I have paired my M8 to my new Jetta SE and it mostly works pretty good but there are a couple if issues. First is that the volume of the voice navigation (Here Drive+) is very low compared to music and phone. Both volume controls are maxed on the phone (30 for audio and 10 for phone) and volume...

I haven't purchased anything yet, just doing my research before breaking out the plastic. Their website is OBD-II software for car diagnostic | OBD Auto Doctor and you can get the full PC and Mac versions there. Standard is free, Full version is $39.95. The standard phone versions are free, Full...

Just came home with a brand new VW Jetta SE and want to get OBD Auto Doctor and a Bluetooth adapter but have a couple of questions: Before I get started, let me say that I have now been affected by the app gap. VW's Car-Net service only has iPhone and Android apps :( 1. What are the...

I'm part of the IT dept. at work and we use a product called WhatsUp Gold to monitor systems and network devices and alert us when something goes down. When something does go down WUG sends an email to the sms gateway of my carrier and I get a text message on my phone. The text message has the...

I'll second your suggestion and will head over to the official suggestions site as well. I hold the phone in my left hand and my middle finger rests naturally over the volume button. I am accidently changing the volume constantly it seems. I also take a lot of accidental screenshots when I use...

Wonderful, thank you so much. I had seen that and started to set it up a while back but didn't notice the calendar event checkbox. This is actually far more sophisticated and useful than the old WinMobile version. WP 8.1 is just getting better and better the more I get to know it.

Do you have to use Cortana to create the appointment in your calendar? I almost always use Outlook on either my work laptop or my home PC to create them. Also, many of them come from responding to invites inside Outlook. As a test just now, I created a new appt. in Outlook on my home PC that...

One feature I miss from my old Windows Mobile phones that I can no longer find was a setting that monitored my calendar and automatically silenced the phone and sent incoming calls to voicemail during scheduled appointments. No rude interruptions from loudly ringing phone calls while in...
