Will drop pants for Sony.
Damn, that sucks. Here is a way to share your Cinemagraphs btw.

e: Here is an example of a problem with the Translate app.



So, it thinks the Italian word for apple is apple when translating from English, but if you already know the word for apple in Italian it translates it to English perfectly. I'm not liking this.

Does the phone have a google translator app?

My bro was talking to a Telus rep today and they had the dummy unit of the Ativ S out and they expect to have them in stock next week.
 
Nope, I found that out when I renewed for a whole year. If you have a continuous subscription from long ago you are grandfathered in but if you took a break you don't. I took 3 days off and then renewed for a full year assuming I would get 10 songs a month. NOPE.

Phew. Just autorenewed today, had thought about taking a break...glad I didn't now.

Man, going from a lumia 920 to an LG Quantum really sucks. I miss the HD screen and zippiness of WP8 that loaded things quickly. Microsoft is doing such a disservice with not providing 7.8 to current users this year.

But how many people are going from 8 - 7? To users of 7 its still quite nippy, its only because you've been in later hardward/software you notice how limited 7 is

I've had to start rejecting AlphaJax games because I have so many going now. Apologies if you're one of the unlucky people who don't get to kick the crap out of me.

I can't seem to figure out how to sync multiple Google calendars. I know it's possible because I did it when I set up my Lumia 920 three weeks ago. Now if I go to m.google.com/sync/ it just basically gives me an advert for Nexus products. If I go to the Sync Select page my Lumia isn't listed.

[edit]It seems they've changed the m.google.com/sync page in the past couple of weeks and in the process either broken or deliberately excluded WP users. Cool.

Hmm, my brother is looking maybe for a low end phone for his wife. This could be an option. He is probably going to get an Ativ S next week with Telus.

So, the Wi-Fi Keep-Alive is on both the HTC 8S and the Nokia Lumia 920T. You think they will slip it in with the reboot fix this month for everyone else, or will we have to wait for "Apollo+"?

I hope it is with the fix. It would be somewhat stupid if it wasn't, but stupid things happen.

Anybody? I'll have to find an alternative calendar service if Google have stopped supporting WP.

I can't have my google calendar sync on Windows Phone 7? So that if I change something on my iPhone 5, then it will also have changed on my Lumia 800.

Yeah you can. Just add the google account and tell it to sync calendars. Are you having an issue?

I remember something about only primary calendars syncing but I think that was resolved in wp7.5

Anyone had issues syncing multiple Google calendars to WP8? The m.google.com/sync option takes me to this and won't give me access to my calendars

I posted on this three posts above you. I can't access it either. I hope it's just a hiccup on Google's end.
 
How's Twitter integrated in WP7.5?

Can I see tweets or do I need the Twitter app for that? Is it good?

tweets are integrated in your people hub feed, where you can decide wether you want facebook and/or twitter and/or Windows Live feeds showing up. you dont need an app for simple twitter usage.

is it wrong that I now only come in this thread to see if the Ativ is coming to ATT yet? :(


held the 920 this week and almost walked out with it but damn I think I want that 4.8" screen.

I might get the 920 and give it to my GF in June when I can upgrade another line

I don't think the Angry Birds games are exclusive to anyone on 7.5, they're not 'Xbox' games according to my Lumia 800.

You know, I don't mind them, dropping the Xbox bullshit if they can bring in more games to every region and bringing more devs who do not want to bother with Xbox Live certifications.

Yep if it gets more devs in it'll be great. It's weird in this instance though, the games have achievements in the WP8 versions :/
