Can you easily send mass text messages with WP? Like 50 or so at a time. Either built in or with another app.

Yes

is there any easy ways I can use a PS3 controller on my Windows 8 phone? I have a Nokia Lumia 928.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what happens when you change the primary alias on your Microsoft Account and change it from the one currently being used on your Windows Phone?

Any hiccups or issues? Will everything still sync properly? Skydrive will still work fine?

I believe that you will probably have to relog into your new Microsoft Account on the phone with the new alias. Though I would wait for someone else to confirm.

You may be able to connect them through Bluetooth. Though other than that it would require apps to actually support the input device. You won't be able to navigate the OS with it though.

Nah, you used to be able to search older Gmail messages as well. The WP team even made a blog post about it. Unfortunately, it looks like Google killed it when they moved away from eas.

Are you fucking kidding me? URGH fuck you Google dammit I am always searching through old mails, so now I just can't update my phone?

Finally update to WP8 with the Samsung Ativ from Sprint. What are the best GPS options available?

If you picked WP to use Google services you picked the wrong phone. Time for you to move all your mail to Microsoft's servers.

6tag, the first Instagram client for Windows Phone with video upload support and more, is now available

I just tried this on my 900 (WP7.8) and I can still search old Gmail messages not on my phone.

 

[bedlamite]

6tag is a beautiful, beautiful app, instabought. Silly name though

 

[Totakeke]

What are you guys talking about, I can still search through my Gmail.

 

[MCD]

I still prefer Instance UI on some things (I don't like the flip cards because scrolling fast makes me Like posts accidentally) and it might be kinda hard for older folks like my mom.

The built in camera is also confusing? Dunno and doubt I'm gonna use or post anything. This account is just for viewing family stuff.

Awesome intro video though. Never though devs can make the intro screen into a video lol.

 

[PG2G]

I prefer Instance too, lol. Looking forward to v2

 

[PG2G]

What are you guys talking about, I can still search through my Gmail.

Maybe you are setup as an EAS account and they are setup as IMAP. I believe it is IMAP when you choose to sync mail only.

Been exploring the amount of things you can do with the app. Startling that this is what Rudy came out of the gate with on release. Seems like an app someone has revised over a long while.

If my 920 is sim free, but I'm using a Vodafone sim, I guess that means I'm 'country variant' right?

I bought my son a 520 for his birthday next week, will be running it on PAYG. Are there any good apps for tracking usage? I'm particularly thinking about data being used in the background without realising.

 

[hankster]

All three Lumia's on AT&T are still saying waiting for approval.

*sigh*

You can smell the Premier from here...

Is there a back button on Internet Explorer? I can use the built in back button, but more often than not I'm taken to my last app instead of my last webpage. Can someone point me to the actual back button?

Yeah this is a little annoying. One neat workaround to get dedicated Back and Forward buttons in IE is to create a scipt bookmark in your Favourites.

Create a new favourite called .Back or .Forward (so that it's at the top of your favourites list) and type this as the address:
javascript:history.back()
javascript:history.forward()

What's so lol about it? That it's stating the obvious, or that it's totally wrong and 8.1 will be out in May 2015?

I think it's more of a "MS is developing and testing the next OS version, more at news at 11". Like, no shit, Sherlock.

Yes, you should be.

Let me know your current software version (starting with 1232.) and I'll let you know.

SongArc looks fun.

Just played around with 6tag a bit and it's really rather good.

Interesting. Did you get the phone from the US by any chance?

Because the only 2 GB variants in there are O2 and 3.

Yeah that's right, sorry. I looked in the wrong column.

It's the GB country variant alright.

Here's your product code (depends on the colour, starting with 059):

That's what you get when you trust the French.

A German Instagram app would probably be secure, but ugly as fuck. Or it would simply not be made because "I just don't see the point of Instagram"

I don't plan on sending videos so it doesn't affect me, hell I doubt I'll even upload many images. I don't know anyone else who has instagram.

EDIT: Guess it doesn't matter since it is already updated lol.

At least a German Instagram app would try to take over all platforms.

Not without Austrian leadership it wouldn't.

Wow, thanks! It actually working (to the bottom too).

Why on earth there are no such functions in most mobile browsers?!?

New WP switch. Not as good as the last one. Liked the ending though.

Just so you know, I believe when you resume the app from the multi-tasking menu it maintains the back stack but not when you open it from the start screen.
