    Regarding download speed of Lumia in contrast with iPhone?

    Re: Regarding download speed of lumia in contarst with iphone. The 830 does have a/b/g/n dual-band WiFi. Did the WiFi router have the separate name for 2.4 and 5Ghz bands? You have to make sure you connect to the right one. However, either way, you should still be able to get more than...

    Closing app gapp

    I don't have any issues with finding apps I NEED in the Windows Store... But then again, I don't game on my phone or download stupid apps like lightsabers or anything either. My friends with their Android and iOS phones always talk about all the apps they have that are just garbage apps, toys...

    Rant : What is your Plan B?

    I've been using Windows phones for well over a decade and had the Motorola MPX220 running Windows Mobile 2003 when it first came out. I took a short break because I got a free Blackberry that lasted a few years. But got right back in with Windows 7 on my Lumia 800. I've stuck it out this far...

    Anyone try this yet on a 650? I don't really have any complaints, battery is good, everything works great so far, just wondering if it can be even better somehow...

    Updating Nokia Lumia 920 to W10 preview? Should I?

    As an IT guy, first thing I do is turn it off on and on again lol Did a soft reset, then a hard reset, didn't help. Then I got my 650 and haven't bothered touching my 920 since.

    Does the Lumia 650 come with earphones?

    Canadian one does not. Which is fine. I never liked any of the cheap headphones that come with phones and they usually end up in the trash with the rest of the box.

    Cortana in Canada

    I'm not in the insider program and not interested in it. I'm on the latest release build.

    Why is Cortana not accepting my commands?

    Is it writing what you say and then just closing on you? Do other commands work? Make sure you have Region and Language settings set to one of the supported countries. Canada for example doesn't work. Mine was all set to Canada and I had issues until I changed everything to USA. Now it...

    Updating Nokia Lumia 920 to W10 preview? Should I?

    I put WxM on my 920 and didn't like it at all. It was pretty slow and glitchy. Others have had less problems, but that's my personal experience. Instead of reverting to WP8.1 I bought a L650 and it runs much faster and smoother than the 920 did on the same OS.

    When will Cortana mature?

    I never had issues wording things differently to get things done. For instance: -I have an appointment -Set a new appointment for thursday -New appointment -New calendar entry -I have a doctor's appointment etc... all result in the same thing: A new entry in my calendar... And she asks me...

    Cortana in Canada

    Just got off of chat with Microsoft support for my Cortana not working. She said Canada is currently not supported for Windows 10M, even though I can find pages that say it is. I closed the page and the chat but I'm trying to find it again. Canada was not listed as currently supported for...

    Users from Canada, what Cortana can do for you?

    Spoke too soon. Cortana is buggy if set to Canada. Changing region and language to US makes it work right.

    Lumia 650 cheapest in Canada! Mine comes today :)

    I work in an old brick and concrete building built in the 60's outside of the city. I get 1 bar of LTE, and my Speedtest.net app still shows 9MB/s download speeds, 1MB/s upload and 150ms ping. If I roll over to my window, I get 2 bars with 15MB down, 3 up, same ping. Can't really complain...

    Lumia 650 cheapest in Canada! Mine comes today :)

    Ok, so I got around to doing this, but, in my Field Test, I don't have "Network Type", but I do have "Band Locking". It shows me the supported and active bands, which are as follows: Band 1 Band 2 Band 3 Band 4 Band 5 Band 7 Band 8 Band 20 Band 28 Band 38 Band 39 Band 40 (was unchecked, but...
