"Show more Tiles" setting availability

[Loco5150]

As Ive said many times the extra column does NOT make the tiles too small in devices like the Ativ, which is the same size as the 920. This is if you have normal eye sight. When you have used this for few days, trust me you wouldnt go back. After using it, the 2 column feels like its made for your grand mother.

I think most likely it will come to Lumia 920/1020, but speculating with this is kind of useless. We will see when the update will come.

Not for 620 I guess

 

[Loco5150]

I have a 620 as a backup phone and I think it would be too small to read anything from the tiles.

 

[EpicIncognitO]

Well I dont care, I dont think this feature will affect my phone experience but yes would like ot have it on my 720.

4.5" and bigger.

who said that. Read again...

I'm sorry.. I thought 92x and 1020 screen were 4.3".. it was my mistake..

 

[xandros9]

I just saw a post over at WMPoweruser indicating that it will be available only for 4.5"+
just a little rumor though

Nawzil has tweeted 4.5" and above.ie,l920 will get it.

 

[ygtgngr]

C'mon L820 will not get it with 0.2" ??? We should have the right to decide to get 3 columns.

what are the chances that the ativ s will get the three medium tiles row officially?

I know that you can sideload it now too Ativ S can use 3 rows with GDR3

I really wish people would figure out the difference between columns and rows. It keeps messing with me every time I read posts about things...

I understand. Also you should know, that for example in my language a vertical column can be referred to as an "row", the direction does not necessarely matter. So its understandable people make this mistake and its probably not that big of a deal......

Interesting. I didn't realize internationally that row was sometimes used interchangeably for column.

Actually horizontal ones are rows vertical ones are columns

Yes...which was precisely my point.

The 1520 has 3 columns at the normal tile size.

I know the difference between a row and a column...

Awesomeness my Lumia 820 will get 3 column option

 

[tanglewoodDEV]

Belfiore said the option would be available for "ALL SCREEN SIZES" and he emphasized those words.
So, I'm not sure why WPC has so confidently stated that only 4.5" devices will have it... unless Belfiore misspoke.

 

[unstoppablekem]

So excited!

The expectation was that Microsoft would not allow a third column of tiles on smaller screens because doing so results in small tiles that are smaller than the "minimum touch target size" published by Microsoft. In other words, to enable the third-column feature, Microsoft needed to facilitate the violation of their own standards.

My guess -- and that's all it is -- is that Microsoft is willing to do this because 1) it's optional for the user, 2) users might enable the third column while using only medium and wide tiles, making all tiles large enough to satisfy the minimum touch target size standard, and 3) universal third-column support was a really popular request.

It's confirmed. Every WP8 device can run the 3rd column.
