My 920 has developed a thin red line running vertically top to bottom on the screen. Reboot, soft reset, etc does not fix the problem. AT&T stands by warranty and is shipping me a new phone. While that is great news, this is my second replacement and after my first 'replacement phone' experience, I am absolutely dreading it. The WP8 back up solution absolutely and totally sucks. As with most of you, I have a ton of apps installed on my phone. Last time around WP8 choked on re-installing all of them automatically. I had to go to the windows phone web site and individually select each app for installation. And even then I had to keep it to 2 - 3 apps at a time because the web site would choke if I tried more. So I have probably 4+ hours of work ahead of me to get my phone back to where I am now. After having an iPhone for years and replacing and upgrading multiple times with a seamless and graceful experience, I find the WP8 experience to be almost useless and extremely frustrating.
While I appreciate the concept of storing in the cloud, in practical application it has a long way to go. Why there cannot be a manual choice to back up the full contents of your phone on to your PC, is beyond me. And who wants to stream all that data to their phone?
Anyone have a more practical solution that will save me a ton of time, cursing, grousing and whining? Followed by binge drinking to drown my sorrows? :crying:
