Google has to pay MS a license fee to use AES. Not shocking they'd drop it.

I just realized that the XAP sideloading feature in WP8 is probably intended for users who have no wireless router and no real data plan on their WP8s, and yet somehow signed up to Microsoft.

I thought they already released it?
Branded phone? Because if it's not then the update is already out.
Google has to pay licensing fees for every user that uses EAS (or if not every user, in clumps). There is no way they are providing this for no cost as I don't see why Microsoft would allow that.
Why is it Google's problem that they decided this isn't a worthy investment anymore and will only keep it for businesses that pay to use gmail?
It affects iPhone users as well, however Apple actually supports CalDAV and CardDAV so there is an alternative.
I'm currently on one of my iPhone tryouts (I jump around a lot), so this will make me have to set up something different as well. This is on Microsoft, not Google, to support other options.
T-Mobile branded.
It makes sense, but making such a change with one months notice is kind of ridiculous. Hopefully they informed the necessary parties ahead of time so they could begin to make preparations.
I can understand that, especially since they've been adjusting their guides on how to set up Gmail on other platforms; they probably should have made it public at that time.

BBC News Mobile has been updated for WP8
seems worse
now has a larger tile & you have extra functionality with the 'photo of the day' section (which can be made to change your lock screen) but i can't pin the individual sections to the home screen & the little tile doesn't seem to display news items...Rand0m TAG

Won't that impact ios too? IIRC, if you don't setup gmail with exchange you only have email, no contacts nor calendars.

Thinking about buying an 8s or should I spend the extra on 920/8x?

I was planning of buying the HTC 8s because of the design and it's in my price range.
The only problem is it comes with 4GB installed and can be upgraded with a 32GB card, but you can only install apps on the 4GB.

talking about app updates, anyone had any trouble with rowi since the last update? my live tile is just pure black, not the color of my theme. pretty sure it isn't notifying me of anything either...

has calmed down a bit.
I just checked on my brother's AT&T phone and its not out yet there either. At least he's not having the reboot problems, or doesn't notice them anyway.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
I'm having the same issues on my 920.
Depends, for lists I just use One Note.
So my cousin just bought a Lumia 800 (not my recommendation) and she's using OS X 10.6.8 which the windows phone connector doesn't work on anymore. Someone help me help her transfer music to her phone. Apparently you can't download music from skydrive either. So what's the deal?

Hey guys, I thought the internet exploder that came with WP8 was HTML 5 compatible, why is it that I keep seeing this on many different websites? Is there some settings that I need to mess with? Please help

IE9 was already somewhat HTML5 compatbile and IE10 is much better.
Lazy web coders detect an, for them, unknown version of IE and throw their most compatible IE6 trash code at you.
Is she using Windows Phone app from AppStore?
Doesn't work on 10.6.8 anymore stupidly enough. Can't find any download links to the older 2.x version either.
Really? Wow. Then I'm glad, that I upgraded to 10.8.2.

That sucks. Hope that with WP8 things will get better. Either that or have different browsers eventually.
Also I updated the whatsapp to the newest version. Not a whole lot has been done to it except I notice now that if I were to start typing, the borders around the input text field disappears, and also the emoticon next to it is gone too....

I see Nokia likes to underpromise and overdeliver. 7.8 before the end of the year?

Someone other than Samsung will probably do it sooner or later, once support for 1080p comes on... or if someone just really wants to try it.

Windows 8 doesn't support tablets smaller than 10" yet.
HHHNNGHHH hope that all carries will receive it before the end of the year.

I have an unlocked 710 in Brazil. Is there a way to force the update? Zune won't find anything
Cute Dragon Here
Member
Wait and see before forcing anything. Seems like the updates come in a set of 4!

I meant forcing through Zune. Will wait anyway!

I think the trick involved disconnection from the Internet while you have the phone plugged in but not completely recognized or something.

The update for the 800 is obviously not the same as for the 710. You'll have to wait until the update for the 710 is released.

Nothing yet, damn. Hopefully Belgium follows soon.
There was talk of a WP8 Phablet from ZTE in November

Well that's my outlook.com address started and currently being populated, lets see how well trueswitch works.
Yeah, just got it. Hopefully it will get sorted soon.
It doesn't look like #Instagram is coming to #wp8 any time soon. But they are working on something new and special for us
