Jesus Christ, does anybody know how to use a Google Apps email account with WP8? I want to add a name@company.com account, but this thing is driving me BONKERS.
What am I missing?

I used to have to change the brightness fairly often with my previous phone, but the 1020 automatically handles the brightness better than any phone I've used.
imo the brightness is just far too high
the low setting is higher than I EVER had my iPhone at (on the 920)
wasting my battery

What issues are you having? My work uses Google Apps and I set mine up as a Google account on my WP account just fine.

Didn't Google nuke ActiveSync support?
Not sure if it's related but is the account using 2-step verification? I ran into some trouble setting up my gmail account with it on until I found out that I had to generate an application specific password instead of using my normal one on the phone.

Anyone know how to get to the LTE switch on an ATT 920 running on Straight Talk? ##3282# doesn't work anymore.

Google extended it until the end of the year IIRC.
That may be it...
Yep, that was the cause. Thank you so much.

Yeah, auto will go lower than the low setting for me.

Rando is awesome and there are no nsfw pics. The most offensive pic I ever got was some cleavage. Should you ever get something nsfw, you can always report it and the user.

Hmm then get a new SIM?

I'm already with straight talk now. Before I switched to Straight Talk though I turned LTE off. Now the code ##3282# doesn't work to turn LTE back on.

exactly, have us WP supporters suffer through the holiday buying season as we see new phones like the Bandit have the latest OS.
So it's the second day since I got the Lumia 920 from ebay.
Yesterday everything worked fine. This morning it didn't power on for some reason, so I had to do a force reset (volume down + power). Now the lock screen is showing "try again in 544603 minutes". If I do a normal reboot, it says "try again is 168165 minutes" instead.
Not sure if I can get it repaired since I got it from ebay. Any tricks on fixing this?
Edit: Just triggered a hard reset. Hopefully it will work.
Edit2: Looks good for now. Not much was lost since I only just got it. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

The articles I read on it said you need to buy a new sim card to activate it and its only $7. I will be ordering mine soon.

Hmm..Brot, so that explain this questionable Rando I got from Germany.I haven't received anything inappropriate yet

So far it's pretty neat.

i understand, it doesn't change the fact that i had once turned LTE off on my phone and now i don't know how to get back into the menu to turn LTE on with the new sim.

Nice that it's actually coming, but it's worrisome for future updates, particularly ones with a lot more user features (such as Blue/8.1) that they seem to be in no rush to give their customers software updates.
What's weird is that AT&T gave the 8X the GDR2 update several weeks ago, but is moving slow on the Nokia phones, which I would assume has to be the majority of their WP customers.

woohoo, thank u it works. What's the difference between LTE 1 and LTE 2?

No new HTC to sell, in the meantime they have 1020 and 925.
Still pretty fuck up that they withhold Data Sense, my guess would be because this feature was Verizon "exclusive".
Mango rolled out pretty easily from what I remember, so I assume any big updates will be okay. Especially because not updating to 8.1 would probably cause problems with app compatibility.
GDR2 (and updates like NoDo and Tango) aren't really essential
So I'm noticing an issue with my 928. My screen won't turn on when I boot my phone up sometimes, even though the buttons on the bottom still light up. Seems like it happens if I reboot my phone while it's warm. I have to hold the lock button down for a few seconds and swipe down to shut off my phone again. So it seems like the phone is running even though nothing is being displayed.
I tried to look up this issue online but haven't found any solid info. Does anyone know if this is a known issue for the 928 or should I consider taking it back to the store to swap it out?

Rando is too awesome to be turned into another chat roulette, sorry.

Sadly, that's really what it comes down to. They never released a single update to the HTC Titan (including a very key post-mango one that fixed an annoying and very common disappearing keyboard bug) because they were released the Titan II very shortly after the original.
As far as I'm concerned, the Verizon exclusive period for Data Sense is over and MS includes it in GDR2 for precisely that reason. AT&T is blocking it because AT&T.
Fair point, although there were plenty of AT&T devices that never got ANY updates (including the Titan mention above).

Well, it's not so much that it need to be pull down but for casual user, I think the commonly use setting is a must. They can put it in a tile or whatever but someone like my wife will never be able to navigate the mess that is the current Windows Phone setting, with all the Nokia stuff in there. It would be nice to have one place to go to turn off thing like NFC, Wi-Fi and adjust volume (if and when we get that independent volume control).
Those try again screen usually show up when you are lock out by failing the password. (You can bypass that with camera button). My first 920 did that it would power off during the night and doesn't come back on.

I still don't like the notion of cramming titles with cramped controls on the title bar. And what's the deal with the logo just taking you back? It might as well have the word "back" written on it.
Windows Phone has just spoiled me in terms of a cleaner top area.

Almost makes me jump on one just to try out a Windows Phone.
At worst just use it as a sat nav.
Thank you, much appreciated. Swapped it out and finally have my phone set up how I want it again. If I have issues with this one, I may just cancel my upgrade and wait for the 1520 to hit Verizon.

I recommended a 521 to a friend and he called to tell me how much he's enjoyed the WP/Lumia experience so far. Said he was initially going to use the 521 as a temp phone until he had enough money to buy a Galaxy S3 but said the 521 pretty much does everything he needs. Also said the apps he used in the past are there, if not there are alternatives. He loved how his hotmail contacts just carried over via the cloud. I also suggested some apps to him like Bing Translator which blew his mind when the camera overlayed translations for him.
Just want to say: Internet Explorer is a piece of shit browser.
Safari just beats the ever living shit out of it and its driving me insane.... Even from the little things like weird browser rendering to the link detection being taken from the bottom of ones finger instead of the top (this makes no fucking sense as you are never looking up at your fingers)
I seriously need a better browser than this, but nothing exists and its so damn frustrating. The menus are a fucking mess too, which is making me think of using my START menu as my bookmark launch pad because navigating a text scroll menu for bookmarks is so damn cheap.
Basically... They need to emulate everything safari in ios 6 does with the bookmark idea from ios7 and fucking nuke the rest of the thing from orbit.
The rest of the phone is so good but that browser is just god awful
Also the keyboard needs a massive overhaul on detection too, auto correct isn't really correcting anything and I keep having to go back and rewrite everything slowly... This never happened on iPhone.. Ever. I always typed out the exact message I intended to type.
I am getting a big urge to write out a bunch of things that need to change... Especially if microsoft wants WP to gain widespread appeal.
