Kind of sucks that there's no auto backup mechanism for these types of issues. :/
At&t screwed up my phone by semi-adding in visual voicemail, and now every time I go to the phone app it throws up a message that I have to click past. Annoying enough that I want to reset my phone, but I really don't want to go through the pain if downloading and configuring my apps again. I dont mind too much losing my messages but id rather keep them.
I have a dev unlocked phone, any homebrew apps that can help?

New app partnerships announced at CTIA Wireless
Some others listed there too, like TIME and NewsWeek. Looks like Nokia is giving a pretty good push to fill some of the gaps.
A bunch of exclusive Lumia apps too..
1. PGA TOUR
2. ESPN Fantasy Football
3. Groupon Major Update (6 months time exclusive)
4. AOL Entertainment Hub
Please allow us to login to ESPN I'll dump the other ESPN in a heartbeat if that happens.ESPN The exclusive ESPN Sports Hub will receive a number of updates over current months, bringing greater personalisation options, such as panoramas dedicated to your favourite teams.
I just need an ESPN app that makes good use of live tiles. Let me pin my favorite teams to the home screen and make it display the next game date/time and current game scores. Outside of weather apps, I can't think of a more obvious use of live tiles.
There is an app that does this already...forgot the name of it, though.

Business Insider said:Why would Facebook do this? Microsoft will pitch three advantages.
We're not Google.
We know what to do and how to do it.
Making a phone is not easy. You have to develop the OS, get manufacturers to build handsets for it, get carriers to carry it, market it, sell it, and ship it. Facebook has no idea how to do any of this. Microsoft does, and it will offer to help Facebook with all of it.
We know everyone.
Microsoft has relationships across the industry. Samsung, HTC, and Nokia are already making Windows Phones. LG was. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon are already carrying the phones. Microsoft spends hundreds of millions of dollars with ad agencies every year. It's working with a logistics firm, Brightpoint, to get the product shipped to stores efficiently.
Why Microsoft want to do this? Again, according to our source:
Some of the appeal is being able to drive mobile traffic to Microsoft's online properties, particularly Bing.
Microsoft's grandest desire is deep penetration in mobile that will allow it to someday offer consumers a NFC-powered payments product.
Microsoft wants to do something like PayPal, but in the physical world. It wants to get there before Google figures out how to fix Google Wallet.
Microsoft is not particularly interested in the concept of location-based advertising.
I works exactly like the video. Its not something I would really use but it works as designed and works well.
Have been taking a look at the mobile stats for the site I analyse again. Of course this is just one site, but it's interesting how the data plays out.
Using January 2012's traffic as % of all handheld mobile as a baseline:
WP7: 177% (pretty much linear upward trend every month since Jan)
iPhone: 99% (had a small jump in March, but fell after)
Android: 106% (again, pretty linear upward trend with a small dip in March)
Blackberry: 82% (down, down we go)
Anyone else got any similar real-world data?
But they did.
And why the hell would Microsoft sue them for that? It's not like Apple developed that app.
Something weird happened with my phone.
The battery died over the weekend and I couldn't find the micro-USB cable to charge it, so it was w/o juice for few days. Yesterday I got a new cable, charged the phone and when I turned it on, it seems that a semi-reset happened. The lockscreen wallpaper was the default Mango wallpaper, my E-Mail accounts were gone, my contacts and messages were still there, but it said there wasn't a Live ID, the Facebook stream still worked, though. The previously deleted stock wallpapers were back as well. Biggest problem now is that I can't add a Live ID anymore. Obvious solution would be a complete reset, but I don't want to lose my messages again. This is fucked. Fuck this phone and fuck this OS, I'll get a Blackberry 10!
FUCK YEA. ill join you. just gimmie 1 minSomething weird happened with my phone.

is there a manual backup?Kind of sucks that there's no auto backup mechanism for these types of issues. :/
Nokia is running a contest on Facebook or twitter to win a magenta 800 for mothers day. Can't be too far off.
DAT ZOOMfinally, a pureview video that's stabilized. good lawd it's amazing. dude in the video is an idiot though, it's not optical zoom, it's actually digital zoom but with zero loss due to pureview's down sampling tech.

What site is that, if you don't mind
dat lossless digital zoom. great stabilization going on to.DAT ZOOM
No. Device management is quite shit right now.is there a manual backup?
although auto should be default if they had it.

Very impressive.... that tech really should be in all cameraphones/phablets.
To me this is a horrible idea.... ms should be the one footing the bill and not nokia and releasing the apps to all windows phones. Non nokia phone owners are going to have a much more limited marketplace to choose apps from and they will still have the feeling that windows phone has no apps when in reality it does but just not on their phone. This is windows phone version of fragmentation.
Just got my lumia gaf, which are the must have apps gaf?
So my contract is up and I'm due for an upgrade to my not-so-great LG Rumor Touch. The only problem? I'm on Sprint :/ Imagine my dismay when I checked Sprint's website to check out their Windows Phone 7 line-up...or lack thereof.
They have the HTC Arrive (joy) and that's it. Pretty depressing, and from what I can tell they have no plans to expand their WP7 offerings any time this year. I was genuinely considering supporting WP7 since I've heard great things about it, especially compared to Android, but man...Sprint, come on.
Thanks for the suggestiong guys! Loving the phone thus far <3

Apparently someone at Sprint had positive words regarding WP8 today. Hopefully that means additional phones come out once Apollo hits. For what it's worth, the Arrive is probably still a fine phone for most of what you'd want it to do. WP tends to run really well even on very aged hardware.

What color did you end up getting?
No. It only says right,left, u turn. Stuff like thatI can't get the Nokia Drive app to say street names. Am I missing something?
So a few decent new News apps have popped up. Newser which was mentioned already, and FLUD.
Right now neither are good enough to make me switch from Weave, but both do a few unique things worth mentioning. FLUD, is fantastically designed. But its definitely a version 1.0 app, very slow and jittery, twitter integration is broken, and I can't view all sources in one feed. Its social networked, so if you build a decent group of like minded individuals, you might get a decent feed of articles. At the very least, I'm intrigued enough to keep an eye out to see what they do over time with updates and improvements. The web site is also slick.
http://www.flud.it
Newser on the other hand has a nice Live Tile(thing is constantly updating), and an interesting concept of curated news, that is user categorized by voting(Most Hilarious, Scary, Brilliant, Depressing etc.)
Both are decent options. Weave still wins for me though.
VanMardigan, nicely put together comment on TheVerge article earlier today. You had me very confused for the first paragraph, then the genius of the post came together nicely.
