Support NeoGAF

Same. Would have bought a fitbit force but they got recalled. So it'll be between whatever fitbit bring out next to replace it, or this MS thing.

are there any apps that can get data out of Healthvault, or are they all about putting data into it?

With just 2 days of battery life it better be a full smart watch rather than just a fitness band like a Fitbit.

I'm interested if it has a good price and it's feels like a worthwhile upgrade over my Fitbit Flex.

and I just bought a jawbone up. Smh, I knew it would be a poor purchase this close to the holidays

Personally I find the need to recharge these devices a pain as you generally lose data during that period being either when you sleep as you charge over night or the hour or so when you charge it during the day.

I changed from a flex to a Garmin Vivofit and couldn't go back, sure it could do with an audio notification, and yes you need to manually sync it to the app, but the data for the current day is always visible, it holds a months data I think, but it takes seconds to sync a week's data and it just goes on and on and on.

MS-watch talk: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=915247

Read first page, my head almost rolled off a few times.

Curious to see what they have though, still not sold on smart watches myself.

I'm pretty happy with the 930's step counting but the data gets stuck in MS' ecosystem. Tried pairing with fitbit but that just pulls data from fitbit into health&fitness. I want the activity info to go into fitbit

I've started charging my Lumia 928 every other day, hoping full battery drain to full charge will prolong the life.

What's the fastest way to take a picture, host it, and post on neogaf with my lumia?

Few days in and I don't regret buying the 830. It has been working great. Xbox Music got another update and seems pretty quick to me

Another thing I noticed compared to the 920 is that audio output using headphones, etc., seems to be able to go louder.

Just need the Lumia camera update now.

Easy fix, get one of those wireless charging mattress pads.

Think my phone is downloading the denim updat....woooo!

What's new again?

Edit nope, not denim...wonder what it was then...already on DP/

Grin is nice but been crashing a lot lately.

And yes, Xbox Music update...dare I say, much faster.

 

[MrGreencastle]

Are they ever going to bring back the ability to have the Xbox music live tile work when there is no music playing? It's nice to finally have that feature back, but I want to see cool animations for my last played/favorite artists. It really sucks that it goes back to the stock boring tile when you pause or stop the music.

Also is there any way to change the dpi scale or text size of IE? Everything is so huge on this display, especially GAF. Seems wasteful...

GAF mobile has a font size option.

All well and good but do the devices wired sort wireless charging?

That and I get blasted with enough electro magnetic waves at work.

Bought an Android phone yesterday. Did I need one? No. But it was cheap and an Xperia (which I have a particular fondness for).

I've only had my 8X for about 6 months so it seems pretty early to switch back to Android. The lack of apps isn't a huge issue for me but seeing WP as the third/fourth platform does start to wear thin. I do like the offline GPS, Here+, Office and OneNote, OneDrive integration, and the predictive keyboard, and the UI is clean and efficient. But I think there are Android versions of the aforementioned, no?

Transferring all my stuff will be annoying though.

There is. Here Maps exists http://here.com/beta/android/?lang=en-GB and there is OneNote, OneDrive and Office (requires a 365 sub though). Keyboard wise SwiftKey is fairly good.

Are you referring the picture you see at the lock screen? That's Settings -> Lock Screen -> Background.

I hope MS never stops Nokia from making accessories. I swear their 1.5A usb home charger is the best shit ever.

nah, nokia released a 'glance screen' editor that allowed you to change the picture that was displayed on the glance display. since moving to 8.1 i can't find/remember how to change or remove the picture.

Is there a way for my Tmo 925 to get Cyan yet?


I've been running Dev Preview so long now, I've forgotten what we're up to.

Just checked, I'm still running 8.10.14176.243, revision 3051.40000.1404.0011

So it's been around April that I had an update.

I take the lack of response to mean I can't?

 

[Milchmann]

You can use the Nokia Recovery Tool, but will lose all data not backed up.

thank you! strange that this can't be found via the phone's store. i had to use wpcentral to get it again.

app is dead. nokia stated that they won't support it anymore so maybe that's why.

He's on T-Mo, so that shouldn't work, right? T-Mobile and Verizon have been utter shit with WP updates.

The Nokia Tool tells beforehand which version it will install, so at least it's worth a try.

They updated Weather Flow, one of my favourite WP apps but it went downhill in my view. I liked the simple card style design that you could flip over. Now it has more detail but it seems cluttered.

More importantly they removed the lock screen feature where you could cycle round a folder full of photos while also displaying the weather. For now I've switched to photostream which does the photos but that isn't ideal.

Lumia 530 for £30 on PAYG upgrade now http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phones/nokia-lumia-530/ppay

Whilst it's a step back from the 520 I find it hard to fault it too much at this money.

Thanks! I backup semi-regularly so I'll give it a whirl!

My phone downloaded an update the other day and when I go to extras it says the software release is lumia denim. Does that mean that I am past cyan and dont need to worry about that anymore?

 

[lastflowers]

Is there a way to take a pic with the front facing camera while the about extras and info is open? I dont have another camera but I could hold my phone up to a mirror or something.

I have a 920, not an icon btw.
