I have denim and cortana and everything. I dont get how to enable hey Cortana? Also: I still have the music tile, isn't it supposed to automatically create an Xbox services tiles or something?

Hey cortana needs a snapdragon 800 phone and to be plugged in to a charger.

 

[Heretic]

The big issue with me is I absolutely despite iTunes, and I despise the Android OS. I'm bummed about app selection but on second thought because of those reasons I don't think I'd move to iOS or Android any time soon.

I LOVE the Windows Phone OS. It is so simple and clean and beautiful. The square tiles are fantastic. Just a shame about the apps.

One of us! One of us! One of us!


I get the urge to switch every now and then too but I enjoy the OS far too much to leave it.

6 - I only use BT for music on my car. Great music quality, no EQ controls that I can find (though the car does have those). My problem lies in xbox music. Their music are not normalized (at least some of then are not), so every now and then I turn the volume up to hear a very low song, and then on the next song I get a little deaf.

I see EQ controls under Settings -> Audio. Did you see those?

What's the story on using WP for NFC payments? Is it possible today?

ATT EOL'd the 1520. The 830 is the flagship by default.

Check the very bottom the settings page. It's technically an app and disabled by default. You don't need to have it plugged in.

Oh, indeed. Never noticed the Audio entry there xD

Edit: Oh, and there's even audio normalizing.

OMG

Thanks mate, appreciated. Works now!

Brot et al who were wondering about the launch speed of the new Lumia Camera app, here it is vs the iPhone 6 and the M8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wbrU8S4P9M

Finally what it should've been like at launch.

Oh right, yeah I remember reading about that now. Fortunately, I've never had that on mine.

 

[Funky Papa]

What's the new alarm clock management?

You can set snooze times, which I use *a lot*.

Didn't realise that was new. Been using it a lot too now I think about it.

Anyone try it on the 830 yet to see how launch times have improved? Also curious to see how well Rich Capture works.

Don't think any of it is available on 830 yet, at least per windowscentral posters.

Annoyed that my 830 doesn't have "final" Denim.

 

[Broman1978]

After the Denim Update for my 930 I am personally really blown away by the quality of the photos I now can take Stunning!

after using my work iphone for awhile I realize there is only one thing I want more from my windows phone.


more volume boost!!!!!!!

Lumia 532 is about as high as it goes.

Poor Tom needs to find a new job - that place went to hell and he's being completely wasted there - cool guy.

 

[TheBryanJZX90]

Agreed about the restaurants app. But damn. Stuff like 999 or Ghost Trick or Ace Attorney should have been released with XBL support by now. When I initially got my first Windows Phone (Lumia 920) I had a 6-month long honeymoon. I had an explosion of awesome games to play, all with achievement support. Cut the Rope, Cut the Rope Experiments, Flight Control, Wordament, ilomilo, Mush, Contre Jour...

When is the last time a legitimately good puzzle game was released with achievements?

Get Gunhouse. Awesome free puzzle game.

I'm not on denim and could adjust snooze times. I think you just need update 1 for 8.1 for that feature.

 

[JaggedSac]

Goodness, even Thurrott jumped ship.

 

[dLMN8R]

You sure about that?

 

[MCD]

If you need certain X or Y apps, there is no way but to jump ship. Can't blame him.

 

[dLMN8R]

but he didn't?

 

[Ape]

Goodness, even Thurrott jumped ship.

Thurrott.com will cover Microsoft but from what I read supersite will cover more of everything now.

 

[killer rin]

Goodness, even Thurrott jumped ship.

He's not jumping ship. Last I heard on the podcast he is just preemptively quitting so he can have more control over his content and to put his stuff under his own personal brand.

Waiting for updates is wick. Wish O2 would get the finger out and give me Denim. Want to mess about with the camera.

Thank you, that looks really great. If MS can update the aesthetics and put out a good $399 device, I might be back this year.

Tom mentions some improvements to the Camera app. Does it help 1020 owners? He mentions the rich capture mode. Is that available on 1020 or is it only for 930?

Only newer phone from what I read there is no benefit to old phone like 1020 or 920. Frankly after reading that I think I am a little annoy because 1020 camera really need better software. I have been using the 1020 on and off but the camera resuming and weird White balance is really pissi me off. Denim camera not support for 1020 just really turn me off about the idea of coming back to Windows Phone. I think the reason given was the hardware limitation.

The 1020 was always a hack to get the 40mp asap. The snapdragon chipset didn't support 40mp natively and they had to completely rewrite the imaging stack to get it to work.

yeah, if they had waited and put the 930 chipset on it, it would be a much different story. That said, it is still the undisputed king of phone cameras. You can fix white balance in postprocessing, but you cannot add the insane detail of a 1020 picture to an iPhone or even 930 shot.

Well, it seemed like it when he wrote the article about using an iPhone 6 instead of WP. Whoops.

If you're referring to yesterday's article on the SuperSite, that was written by someone else.

Holy shit. Mind blown. I did find it odd that he had just purchased that 930 and then would grab an iPhone. My bad guys. I didn't think other people posted on supersite.

 

[VanMardigan]

Paul is leaving the site, which he founded and was the only writer for. So now the company that owns the site has hired and is hiring other people to write for it.

 

[joshschw]

And the very first article after his goodbye post was an I'm Going iPhone post!

Wow he's usually pretty critical of WP but that was almost all praise.

Come on Verizon, give me that damn denim update already!
