    Why doesn't my microphone work on my phone? Lumia 925

    Are you talking about the headphone/mic port along the top of the phone, or are you talking about the internal mic, built into the mouthpiece? Because from the sound of it, the original question was about the internal mic. Mine has the same problem. Works fine when I hold the phone up to...

    Anandtech reviews Lumia 830...

    I was in the AT&T store and played with the 830 for quite a bit the other day, and came away rather pleased by the experience. While not a major jump beyond my current 925, it would make a very nice alt device to have around - I could even see it as being my main driver, for the few features it...

    Why can't Microsoft do this with their phone like Sony

    Sooooooooooo basically, Sony just copied a feature from the Wii U, only on a smaller screen than the WiiU tablet. It's a nice gimmick, but I would much rather Microsoft work on how to bring back digital game sharing with people from your Friends List who don't already have the game, than work...

    POLL: SmartBAND or SmartWATCH: Did Microsoft Make the Right Design and Marketing Choice?

    So can someone tell me exactly what the hell is the difference between a "smart watch" and a "smart band". Both seem to tell time, both seem to run apps, both seem to have some measure of biometric sensoring, both seem to connect to a larger ecosystem (three ecosystems in the case of the...

    If I get an Xbox One, should I bother with Kinect?

    Honestly, after almost a year of ownership of my Xbox One, I cannot possibly imagine ownership of my Xbox One without the Kinect. Put bluntly, the system was built around the new Kinect. Having the system without the Kinect, is like having only half an Xbox One. And it is sometimes hard to...

    [SP3] Are there any cases that work with the native kickstand?

    I was gonna say the FreedomCase, until I read your post about your Surface being the Pro 3. They make them for every version of Surface, except the Pro 3. Sad really, as they are a great case. FreedomCase: Adjustable Stand and Case for Microsoft Surface Tablets

    Matador TV show features lots of Microsoft products

    I simply meant, that new networks usually take a few years to get picked up by all cable/satellite carriers. And with El Rey being so new, that it has not been out long enough to have been vetted, evaluated, and get picked up by every carrier.

    How to use Bing Vision with Cortana?

    Really sad that I had to buy this app. Don't see why the WP team could not have made features they were taking out of search, voice activated (or even sub-menu) in Cortana. How hard would it have been to implement the voice command, "Cortana scan barcode," or, "Cortana open Bing Vision?" And...

    Matador TV show features lots of Microsoft products

    Matador is a fictional television program on the El Rey network, which follows the exploits of Tony Bravo, an undercover agent posing as a pro soccer player as his cover to infiltrate a criminal organization using a fictitious MLS team as a front. Besides being a surprisingly good show for...

    Doorbot

    I hope this is the correct forum for this. I saw the Doorbot today, and thought it was a pretty cool concept for fans of home automation. Doorbot WiFi Video Doorbell for Smartphones Then I saw there was no Windows Phone app for it, and it instantly occurred to me that Microsoft (or a partner...

    If you HAD to leave WP who would you go to?

    Give up WP 8.1? Ouch! If I had to give up something I love this much, I'd probably just go old school, and go back to using feature phones - you remember those, the ones that always worked no matter what, and did not have corporate-sponsored government tracking and data mining in each and...
