Common Sense™ slows my machine down and has all those nag screens telling me wise things to do, I much prefer ThinkB4Click™ as it is Open Source and has an Active Community.

I use them more. Got used to the notification center on my Mac. The fly-out box is a bit annoying...I wish they would just offer a transparent Pop-up bubble or maybe a small banner at the the too of the screen like Android. I wonder if Modern/Metro is starting to show its age as well...

OK, very nice 940. But will there be a 1540. Or perhaps a 940XL? Really need the 6 inch QHD Phablet. Loud Clear Speakers, Great Reception, Great Camera, Huge battery, Core i7 Processor with Fan Coolded Fins which double as a hand warmer in winter or windshield defogger......

I decided enough of the lagginess on the HTC M8 Windows Phone. In absence of a new Microsoft flagship phone, I am returning to the Lumia 1520.

I think I am seeing some improvement after disabling HTC Motion Launch and Attentive Phone. ( Along time ago I had a Samsung Phone that was trying to do too much fancy stuff in the background and disabling the Motion Stuff helped) Also, I seem to have gotten some improvement out of removing and...

Hmmm, my HTC One M8 takes me to an error page when I try to sign up for American Express Serve.

I have no SD card installed. Would that speed things up? Should my apps be running from the SD? What kind is the best? Also the jitter shows up mainly on the People Tile which I have really wide. It gets better the less live tiles I have.

I went from a 1520 to the M8. The great quality and crisp loud audio make it worth it. When I return to home it does jerk and sputter a bit till it gets all the tiles loaded. Anyone else notice this?

The sound and quality are great! Nice and loud and clear. The camera is good as well. Anyone notice a lag when returning to the home screen? Also, I am noticing a lag when switching from portrait to landscape in Fresh Paint.

Will the Nokia Lumia 2520 with Windows 8.1 RT be upgradeable to Windows 10? If so what would the upgrade path look like?

I had the issue as well with 2520. Apps would switch as if swiping the screen, yet I was not touching it. It got better for me once I got the power keyboard and got rid of my leather folio case. On the powered keyboard, there is a real simple hack you have to do to keep it from randomly...

The problem has been resolved by a new phone. AT&T sent me a replacement device, this time in a plastic sleeve instead of a bubble envelope and the Wi-Fi works great! I am so glad this was not a problem with the Windows 8.1 update or the majority of Nokia 1520's. So I recommend from my...

Also, interesting is the fact that whenever I go slightly out of site of Wi-Fi the Phone shows Limited Connectivity.
