Yes I have, and no it doesn't fix it. I've been testing & giving feedback on this issue since it first showed up in earlier 143xx builds, and 14393.82 hasn't fixed it. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftBand/comments/4wyt4m/battery_life_band_2_with_14393_win_10_au/d6b0kvp where I go...

No, no luck on fixing the issue. No restore or reflash (using Nokia's Windows app) corrected it. I didn't notice if the flash was also affected, but that's interesting. I'll check. Nokia support and forums suggested I return it for repair to a 3rd party, but did not acknowledge it was a known...

This just started happening to me today on an AT&T Lumia 920 (around 1 1/4 years old.) The WP8 built-in Camera app crashes when opened, after first showing the 4 control buttons momentarily, and apps that use the camera, e.g. Bing vision and Nokia Camera show black if not crash. Between when the...

I can now clarify with respect to Windows Phone 8, as I've used it (Lumia 920 Update 3 developer preview on AT&T) with Google Glass XE11. Here's how things work as they are now: - Glass can pair over Bluetooth to Windows Phone. Glass shows up as a voice headset. I didn't bother to test making...

It's pretty unclear to date what Google's statements regarding bluetooth connectivity mean in practice. There is silence on the internet about it -- whether through apathy (too bad) or NDA (also too bad, but more forgivable than being interested in Glass, but not Windows Phone.) I think we'll...

I call this feature "annoyance and embarrassment suppression": The phone should stay completely silent (no vibrations, no sounds) at night, and during the day do vibration + medium level ringtone. Also, when I turn the volume way up on rare occasions (usually on accident, but sometimes because...

Thanks. At the end of the thread, someone posted the official fix from UTStarcom for the XV6800, and I confirmed this works: http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/XV6800%20QWERTY%20Keyboard%20Fix%201-9-08.zip

I should note, the software keyboard/recognizer works fine, but that sort of defeats the purpose of a slide-out keyboard, and in fact I wish I could turn that keyboard widget off. :)

I used the Live Search app from http://wls.live.com on my Motorola Q all the time. No problems. Downloaded it again for my new XV6800. The trouble is that on the 6800 all type-in boxes in the app (including the main one you use to type in an address) are stuck permanently in "blue dot" mode...

Is there any way to disable the Power button on the XV6800, and use an alternative button? What a dumb position! 1) When I switch to keyboard mode, I use my 3rd & 4th fingers to prop the keyboard to get my thumbs oriented quickly, and about 20% of the time they hit the Power button, sleeping...
