Hah the 925 IS a gorgeous device. I still have it, and I still long for another that looks as good. I do not own a 950 (and won't) because in my opinion: It's an ugly device It's a "me too" product! I can get that with Android (and have) The UX is bad The UI is ugly WP lost all of its charm...

You are incorrect. Hubs have content that is "hidden" to the left or right, panoramas show all options available. If all you are seeing are hubs in an app, then the chance that the developer followed correct WP design guidelines is low. Hubs are designed to be an overview of the app, and promote...

Fully agree. I'm hoping that it was shown in this form only because they haven't really finished setting them up for the phone UI yet. *crosses fingers*

Not true. The 925 is the 8960 and um running 8.1. Not to mention Microsoft has stated all current Windows phone 8 devices are upgradeable to 8.1.

Nice find Eric! Even with the DNS hijacking, its pretty surprising that it is causing Cortana to fail for others. I've also noticed that I am now able to send picture messages while connected to wifi, whereas before, they would always fail. I assumed it was a Tmobile issue, but it looks as...

Overall, I like it. I really really miss the old picture hub. It was prettier and more useful. Same with messaging hub. Having said that, I understand what Microsoft is doing, I just hope they can quickly get third party support and fix their own separate apps to bring back the pretty/functionality.

DNS means domain name resolution. Basically, it is the server that converts url like Google to 134.45.567.12 type ip addresses. Often times, the DNS servers from ISPs can get bogged down, or other weird things. Open DNS is just another free to use DNS service that is of high quality, and doesn't...

Yup, as in time warner in my case. Changing DNS isn't all that hard. Go to the website for the manufacturer of your router and look for the support manual. It should tell you in there.

So I went digging, trying to figure out what was causing this issue. As it turns out, my DNS server through my ISP was causing it. I set my DNS to point to OpenDNS servers (in my router settings) 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 and it started working.
