Lumia 820 SD card & other questionss.

[th0mas96]

apparently, the .xaps just are .zip files (since a few weeks encrypted, but basically zip). And I don't know, but I used several cards, and all class 10 worked perfectly, but only when formatted to fat32!

ive got 1gb free space left on internal storage, but why i cant download Sonic CD? its says i need to clear some stuff to increase spaces. Sonic CD file size is 240mb, so it gonna extract to 1gb? make no sense :S

I use the sandisk 64gb class 10 and formatted it to exFat (as advised by others on here) and that solved alot of issues with lag and things not working when the card was formatted as fat32. Also the windows desktop sync app is crap and always has problems. Since I ditched that and used other apps for syncing music I havent had any issues. I have heaps of apps on my phone and still have over 2gb of space left so for me 8gb internal is ok.

but how to format to exfat

but how to format to exfat

I'm not sure if he swapped the formats, I always had problems with exfat and formatted it to fat32 (FAT32 Format - Download), and it solved it. If he really meant exfat, you can use almost anything, on mac the disk utility and on windows right-click "format".

does window phone 8 video player support subtitle?

 

[th0mas96]

as far as I notice, no. But you can convert them and add the subtitles to the video, like described here: Encoding HD Videos with subtitles for Windows Phone [ tutorial ]

But then, you can't view it without subtitles. I really wish the VLC team was a bit faster..

my contact list messed up :S how can i set it only showing contact from sim card...i dont want facebook and email contacts mix with sim contact

 

[th0mas96]

Settings - Contacts - Filter, there you can select which contacts shall be shown, e.g. facebook, email accounts with contacts etc

it most likely already synced them to yout hotmail/live account, so try selecting only that one.

thanks but hotmail and sim contact still mix together.

 

[th0mas96]

uh, I think importing them will automatically add them to hotmail, that's what it did for me.. I think there's no other way then. Maybe you can make another hotmail account and only add the contacts from SIM and then select it?

You can link your paypal with you debit card[given it has master or visa logo on it] then add it in your wallet

or you can just add a normal bank account, transfer some money from the bank account to paypal and use it for apps, that's the way I did it. For logging in the first time on the phone, you'll have to have at least 25€ (I don't know about other currencies).

 

[johnnylai]

when setting up first time, what is name on card??? my name or name of the bank?

 

[johnnylai]

erm, finally can buy apps but the apps i want not available in my country(Malaysia) :/
so disappointed. Any idea how to buy apps that not available in my country?

so if i transfer some money to paypal, i will be able to buy apps from uk?(living in malaysia, but phone set to uk)
