I'm really enjoying the 5X so far. There are a lot of things from Lumia and Windows Phone that I miss. I REALLY miss the always on display, it was the main way I noticed notifications when I was working, I'd just look down at my phone on my desk and see the badge count. Now I have to interact...

I did the exact same thing, the $50 off deal was a final push into the 5X. I got it from B&H which also had a $25 gift card deal (though most of the other things on the site seem a little higher priced than Amazon, if anything I can use it on a future phone for my girlfriend when she wants to...

I'm hoping this proves true for me. I'm going from a 2.5 year old Lumia 1020 to the Nexus 5X. I know a couple of people use the 5X and 6P. I think coming from an older or lower level windows phone we won't see the lag. Most of the "lag" people talk about on the 5X is the full file encryption...

I think the Band 2 will be MUCH better for this kind of thing. They are moving to an OLED display meaning they could do something like Glance on the phone where we can have an always on display using next to no power. So watch mode may be a feasible thing finally. I didn't use it on the Band 1...

I have a few friends that love Windows Phone but need more out of their phone since we haven't had any big breakthroughs for a while now. One was using a 920 and just switched to the S6 Edge + and agrees that Google Now just isn't good enough. It sounds like he is having other issues with it as...

Therealeinn, I have tried that. The way that I came to the method I'm using I actually saw here on the boards before I purchased the band. And the thing is, it SEEMS to be fully charged, it will say 80% but I unplug it, turn it off, then plug it back in and it says 100%. Note that unplugging it...

I took a similar path. Though for me I started out without any fitness tracker. I've used pedometers and even a FitBit Ultra years ago. Since then I've become more of a runner so counting steps isn't a concern, but GPS tracking and finding out my pace is. And I do a lot of other strength...

Paul Thurrott did a camera comparison of the 1520 and the 1020. http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/lumia-1520-camera-comparison It looks like the 1520 is very good. Though it also seems like something was wrong with his 1020 shots. I have the 1020 and never have that blurry washed out look...

So I received my Venue 8 Pro last night, I also ordered a PTV3000 to use for miracast. Miracast is the main reason I even ordered the tablet, so I can watch videos wireless and with good performance. The Surface RT with HDMI just wasn't cutting it and had issues with websites. Anyway, I have a...

It should be under warranty. You may have needed to register it though. I have a coworker who had to get his replaced, but yes, it took months.

It works on AT&T and Sprint (WP7). I can only assume you are on Verizon or T Mobile.You should have a card, if you aren't old enough, you can get pre paid VISA cards at many retail stores. They cost a little extra to activate though.At 17 if your parents are cosigned on your account, which I...

Are you using a charger from a Lumia 900? I am, which is 1 amp. My co-workers that have the retail 920 all have 1.3 amp chargers. So you should be able to find that I'd think. But I agree, the charging is slow, though there is debate that it may be better for the life of the battery.

I love it. And I don't know if you guys have noticed, but compare using the 8X to the 920. With the super sensitivity turned on the 920 just feels better and faster to use. Currently I use gloves that had capacitive thumbs and forefingers. It worked well with my previous phones but not 100% of...

I hope we get the Brave version. But since it is past the promotional period for the movie, probably not. Mirrors Edge is fun, but the graphical quality is low. Honestly I wish they would have given us a touch version of the Flash Mirrors Edge game, go check that game out, very slick.

.GIFs are important to comedy on the internet and keeping me happy. I do not know of a way for this but I hope it is added/fixed. The picture app on Windows 8 (RT) plays gifs fine so I see no reason why it doesn't work on Windows Phone 8.
