    Touch Screen And Top Buttons Stopped Working! Plz help!

    You can try to put it in rice or a towel or something. Sometimes components just need to dry completely. The keyboard I am typing on now once had a cup of water spill on it and it worked funny for awhile. I basically just sat it upside down for a day and let it dry and it was ok.

    Random reboot

    I had the reboot problem but it was a loose battery. Since you said no one touched it though it could be something else. I tried the paper at the end the battery trick and no more reboots. BTW just placing the phone down sometimes would make it reboot so are you sure there were not table bumps...

    Battery app Live Tile not updating

    one of my battery apps shows discharge speed per hour. Right now I'm about 2.33 percent per hour. The other one shows a chart of battery drop rate over a a few days. Sometimes they both just don't update at the same time and others they both alert me of low battery or heavy drop rates.

    Best battery app?

    Well it just happened last night and I have two battery apps. One says now 36 percent per minute and the other (one that you listed) shows a big drop off in the chart. Guess it will continue to be a mystery. App developers make so much money its just strange no one has come up with such a pin...

    Best battery app?

    Ok something just kicked the heck out of my battery. Pretty much full drain in hours. I was working on a house project and not sure what happened, but when I came back phone was dead. It would be great if a battery app could say so and so was the culprit. I would even pay for such a battery app...

    Use it as a smart TV!

    I pretty much use my 40 inch tv just as a screen connected to my laptop. I have to hold ctrl and wheel up with my mouse on new websites to adjust the font size though. Otherwise my eyes will become strained while sitting on the couch ( I have bad eyes anyway). The Logitech "Anywhere" mouse works...

    Lumia 521, 3 weeks old...

    The sucks. I bought a rubberized case from Amazon as soon as I got the phone and also a screen protector. Total price like 10 bucks. Of course drops are the luck of the draw.

    Downloaded update, now what?

    Unless you have a new 32-bit Atom processor it should work then.
