Maybe I'm just all emotional and positive because I can now use VPN on my phone.

I set it up this morning and almost cried when it worked.

I said grass is not all that green. Play Music hang and crash on me a few times and the interface is ugly. I miss auto-wifi log in on my Lumia and simplify audio control. I still can't find where to change my notification setting.

My brother said he just got 8.1 and Cyan on his international 1020 and he said the camera is so much slower. Those that got the cyan on your 1020 do you think camera is slower?

 

[MCD]

it's the same as always for me but like usual auto focus is spotty.

 

[MCD]

Wait...why can't I pin cellular settings to notifications center?

 

[kharma45]

Wait...why can't I pin cellular settings to notifications center?

Because that's too obvious a thing to want to do. I'd hoped that GDR1 would fix that but alas not.

 

[Dilly]

Finally a notification bar and a slideable bar for movie playing.

Too bad you can active GPS and WiFi but not mobile internet from the notification bar.

 

[VanMardigan]

Why would you want to turn off mobile data on and off constantly? Is it a data limit issue?

 

[kharma45]

Why would you want to turn off mobile data on and off constantly? Is it a data limit issue?

That, and if you're somewhere without 3G I prefer to turn it off altogether to save battery.

 

[Dilly]

Why would you want to turn off mobile data on and off constantly? Is it a data limit issue?

I'm on prepaid with a 2GB limit which is valid for a month, so after that month I'm paying for it.

Also, like kharma said, to save battery.

 

[MCD]

Why would you want to turn off mobile data on and off constantly? Is it a data limit issue?

Sometimes I notice that the phone is using my mobile data when I am at home and connected to Wi-Fi and it pisses me off.

 

[juliushandle]

Just turn Airplane mode and Wi-Fi on.

 

[kharma45]

Just turn Airplane mode and Wi-Fi on.

That's handy for calls and texts.

 

[maeh2k]

In the cellular settings, do you have the option to use data in the case of limited Wi-Fi connectivity turned on?

 

[PG2G]

Where is this option? Pisses me off when the phone connects to a low reception wifi ideas of using a strong cell connection

 

[megarockexe]

You can pin the settings tile to the start screen.

 

[maeh2k]

It's in the cellular + SIM options below the setting for data roaming. Not sure how exactly it works. Never noticed it.

 

[PG2G]

Looks like the HTC One with Windows will still use the Snapdragon 801. Kinda silly that Nokia didn't put it into the 930 if the OS supported it. Lazy!

Weird, don't have it.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I will definitely consider the W8 if it comes to Canada. How is the camera in it?

Poor to average. It's the only flaw with the device really.

 

[maeh2k]

Weird. Both my Lumia 930 (running the newest preview) and my father's 1020 running the regular 8.1 + Cyan have it.

I'm using a 1020 on AT&T running 8.1 Update. Maybe it needs Cyan or is carrier dependent.

 

[MCD]

Nothing on my end.

That's a bit of a bummer.

My 1520 has it. o.o

 

[lastflowers]

Icon has It as well

 

[MCD]

Old phones getting shafted my guess.

 

[biRdy]

my htc 8x has it as well

 

[PG2G]

Damn even the 8X has it? Lol

Given it looks like the Windows Phone version of the HTC One M8 is set, and though I do love HTC's design (plus that dot case is pretty cool), I'm not sure I want to stray from Nokia, and given there's no real flagship to upgrade to from my 920, I'm becoming more and more likely to either wait or get an iPhone 6 or something. Don't really want to switch, but I want to feel like I did when the 920 was announced. It felt like they were doing something compelling with a bunch of the hardware and the design. But there seems to be nothing they are going to announce this year that is near the originality of the 920 in its time. Maybe its the switch over that stalling things with a big hero device they had in the pipeline, but it seems ludicrous that they wouldn't have a solid upgrade path for all those 920 users from two years ago that isn't a decent leap from what they have. The 930 isn't doing it for me, the 1530, still not sure I'd dig a BIG phone, but I would like that bigger battery. Its just, I want to get excited about something here, and it ain't happening.

Microsoft plz.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Can't get Podcasts to let me download them on the new phone. I set everything the same as on my 920...

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I thought the HTC One had a good camera?

 

[Funky Papa]

I thought the HTC One had a good camera?

It's kinda blah. It's not *bad*, but the ultrapixels' hype is very unwarranted.

 

[antiquegamer]

I thought the HTC One had a good camera?

It advertised as having a good camera. I miss my 1020 camera the most even if it's slow. I took several pictures last night with the OnePlus and they all look like crap.

Microsoft plz.

The iPhone 6 looks pretty nice.

Pretty much certain I'm getting an iPhone 6 in September unless Microsoft announces a hero phone for ATT before iPhone 6 preorders come out.

Me too. Still going to have my 920 but I like to switch up my main operating systems with my contract phones.

[VanMardigan]

Do you guys have me on ignore? Lol, I don't know about everyone else giving advice about the M8 camera, but I own the device. Use it every day. Camera is horrendously bad. No redeeming qualities. Everything else is absolutely top notch.

So might as well put duct tape over it and forget it exists?

1520

Spoiler

They won't

 

[The Flash]

People aren't receiving my texts anymore. I tried changing the mms settings but nothing seemed to work. I'm using a 920 on Straight Talk with a AT&T sim.

 

[VanMardigan]

If you need to take a picture of your lunch, it works ok. I know the old cliche about something being "good enough", but this camera doesn't belong in a 2014 flagship, much less in a phone whose software, performance, design, speakers, and battery life make it one of the top smartphones being manufactured today.

Last option would be to delete all your texts.

 

[dLMN8R]

Wait, is it really the rumor that the HTC W8 will not go to AT&T? Another fucking exclusive for Verizon? Cause of so....jesus, comon.

Wait. I know what is. I are dumb.

 

[somuchwater]

WinPho turns off wifi when the screen is locked by default, and thus uses mobile data for background updates etc. If you change that setting under wifi settings, it should stop doing that.

 

[joshschw]

What's wrong with releasing a device on a platform that has 3% marketshare in US, of which you have 2% share of, on an exclusive carrier????

I hear the UK release is going to be September 9th, launching first on 3, but take that with a pinch of salt.

 

[Funky Papa]

Guys.

GUYS.

Nokia just announced a new phone.

€20

 

[brotkasten]

So happy.

I guess they're releasing whatever they have left in the pipeline, before they leave the market completely.

Didn't Nadella put a stop to non WP devices?
