    Glance Issues...

    Yea, I know that and I think it is weird. I don't see the point of Peek if flipping it over triggers the sensor anyway. Oh well. Thanks

    Glance Issues...

    If I choose 'Interval' then glance works whenever I flip the phone over, but if I leave the phone face up for more than 15 mins, then it disables glance until the proximity is reset (by either putting the phone face down and back up or after the phone goes back into standby). So, with Peak, the...

    Glance Issues...

    Ok. Got it. As far as Peek, is it still supposed to show when the phone is flipped over?

    Glance Issues...

    Is anyone else experiencing functionality issues with glance? After the latest update to glance/display, when I set it to 'Peek' it still shows up when I flip the phone over instead of me having to wave my hand to invoke glance. Also, my notifications for e-mail, texts, or missed calls don't...

    The Stuffs U Didn't Know In Windows Phone 8

    You can do that or just set it to turn off after 15 mins like I do. If you keep your phone upward facing for more than 15 mins, Glance will turn off. Flip the phone face down and back up to wake up Glance.

    From Apples and Droids to Window Panes... (The Switch!)

    Yea, can't wait to see a Lumia tablet running Windows 8.1. Also, can't wait to see the refreshed Surface Pro with Haswell.

    Screen tearing in the wpcentral app?

    Is it me, or do you notice screen tearing when scrolling through the wpcentral app? When scrolling up or down though pages within the app, I notice what appears to be this tearing in the text and images. Its almost like the tearing you see in video games that don't have v-sync enabled. I have...

    So, who's getting an Xbox One?

    I'm definitely getting an Xbox One. I've recently switched over from Android/Google to a pure Microsoft ecosystem with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. I am looking forward to the promise of Windows 8 integration with Xbox One and especially integration between Xbox One and WP8. I really think MS...

    From Apples and Droids to Window Panes... (The Switch!)

    I just had to come back and post about how AMAZING WP8 is and the Lumia 1020. Together, this combination is unmatched and it will be hard to top this super duo. I know having a larger screen with 1080p will be extremely nice for WP8, but I feel like if I can't have Nokia hardware and especially...

    iOS Junky, Slowly Transitioning

    No need to wait. I just switched from Android and I have the Lumia 1020. Why do you need quad core? Also, the Lumia 1020 has 2GB RAM. I just sold all of my Google devices and I switched over to Outlook.com. I already run Windows 8 and 2012 and my gaming system is Xbox. Next up for me is a...

    From Apples and Droids to Window Panes... (The Switch!)

    Thanks! I'm definitely enjoying every minute of this experience even though there are some quirks here and there. I know that MS is hard at work trying to resolve the issues in the future updates, so I know it is only a matter of time. WP8 is definitely a lot further along then Android was...

    1020 charging shell is god-awful (imho)

    I have tried a couple of difference cases from Amazon and the best case IMO is the Speck CandyShell grip case. Amazon doesn't seem to have it, but you can get it directly from Speck or from an AT&T store. It provides maximum protection all around and has rubber grip material all around it so...

    Android Loyalist - Swapping Sides

    Based on the history of new, hot phone releases, and Nokia's carrier preference, I would definitely go with AT&T for carrier and pick up either a Lumia 920 or a 1020. If you wait until the next gen GDR3 phones, which could release later this year or early next year, then you will be missing out...

    From Apples and Droids to Window Panes... (The Switch!)

    Hello! I just recently switched to Windows Phone 8 and my phone of choice is the Lumia 1020. Before I get into my review of Windows Phone 8 and the Lumia 1020, allow me to give you some history surrounding my previous mobile device adventures. I have had EVERY device out there, across EVERY...
