I have been wanting to give Windows Phone and development a try and ended up finding a good deal on a used 928. So far, enjoying it, but I have a few questions/comments, I would like to run by others. I have updated to GDR2 and Amber.
1. I like the quick access to camera via the button. But, it seems that the only camera that works if your lock screen has a PIN is the default camera. Is this correct or am I doing something incorrect?
2. Double tap to wake is convenient. If I have a podcast or music playing, I can easily pause it. That is great. But, if the screen turned off again and I double tap to wake it back up to continue playing, the music controls are not available. Is this the normal behavior?
2a. And is there a "shortcut" or something to easily get music controls while show up while doing other tasks with the phone? (ie pause or skip while looking at a website)
3. Given where I work, with my Android I generally had data off to conserve battery. On my Android phone, there was an option to turn data on when a MMS message came and it would automatically download the picture or group message. Is there an option like this within Windows Phone?
4. When receiving a message, is there a way to NOT show the content of the message on the lock screen and just have it say something like sender:New message?
I will say it is quite easy to get the hang of overall. I can definitely see some room for improvements, but overall satisfied so far.
