My 1520 is cracked in what sounds like the exact same spot, right over the back button, crossing up about an inch and over to the other side of the screen. I have had no real issues with it since it cracked, other than I lost the right to rag iPhone users about how easily their phones break when...

I have a Disney Experience app that was acting up yesterday while I was at the park. It didn't recognize that I had already purchased the in app expansion. I even went to the windows phone web site to see if I could re-download it but it said I didn't own it (even though it was on the page). I...

There are two schools of thought here; want vs. best business practices. The best business practice would suggest that waiting the 9 months would probably be the best decision as it will allow you more options plus give you the best bang for the buck. The "want" factor states that if you can't...

I did it and the problem still existed, then my son recommended that I turn off syncing (settings > Sync my settings). Once I did this my issues with Cortana and "loading/resuming" stopped completely. It's been 3 days now and nary a problem.

I finally reverted back to 8.0 to see if it would fix my issues. Got the phone upgraded and it just lost its mind. Would not stop restarting over and over. Did this for well over an hour. I drove to the MS Store where I bought it and they gave me a warranty replacement (yellow phone looks nice)...

I agree, and note, I wasn't complaining, just hoping someone has dealt with these things and found a fix. My belief is it happened in the download somehow.

I have had to turn off my camera launch button because it kept launching in my pocket. I also believe I have an issue with my proximity sensor as the screen doesn't go dark when I'm on a phone call and put it to my ear. I also have had a Skype text or other notification turn on my screen in my...

When my phone is working fine, it works amazingly well and I'm very happy with all of the added bells and whistles. I want more from Cortana than it can provide now due to the "pinning" issue, and I'm fine with the new screen updates. I like options but I'm also old so I don't have a need for a...

Mine has more bugs than a crack house in July, but I'm muddling through. God help me when I have to restart the phone because it will restart itself 10+ times, over and over again. And I can't use the wifi now as it causes the phone to restart, then see above. And I can't pin Cortana to the...

I went on a cruise from the 9th through the 15th of June and had my phone in airplane mode the whole time and did not have a problem with it at all. Got back and the phone did an update on its own and now the phone randomly goes reboots over and over and over again until it finally stabilizes by...

Yes, unpinning fixed that issue for me. Then I re-pinned hoping it was an anomaly and the problem came back. Unpinned again and it went away.

Under ...Settings>East of Access... there are functions for doing this. Text Size: Changes the text size in People, phone, email, messaging, lock screen and some webpages. High Contrast: Changes the colors for some features, and hides some of their background images Narrator: Use narrator to...

Absolutely agree 100%...but they will get there.

Every once in a while my phone will lose its mind and I won't get specific notifications or I won't be able to get the store to do updates. I find that if I unpin the problem app and do a soft reset of the phone, then re-pin the problem app, the notifications will return. Not sure why it does...

It's the "games should only cost $0.99!" mentality. It's mostly a recent phenomenon but people are being trained to compare what they believe are relative costs for similar items, but this fails to hold true for all things. We can look at a Chevy Cruze and compare it to a Porsche and nearly...
