Your screen works? Mine was broken only from the glass and I got a pastic one (s oppossed to the original glass) for like around $50 USD and I don't recommend it, the double tap to wake doesn't work and some (albeit a few) times it think I pressed back or home even when i touched the upper part of the phone.

The screen and touch still works. The glass is pretty much the only problem with it.
I just got off with Rogers Web support and I'm going to take it into the store tomorrow and get a quote on a repair. I'm thinking its going to go somewhere into the $200 range.
Man this day isn't going well.
HOLY SHIT
The digital equivalent of Joe's hair blowing in the wind. <3 Joe!
Here's something that fucks me off with Windows Phone 'multitasking', having the same app displayed more than one time when you hold the back button.
Why Joe, why. When I look now I have the same message thread, never mind messaging itself, taking up three of those multitasking slots. Something that has been bugging me for ages and it's almost worst with GDR3 even when you close the app on one of the slots it's still there in another. Bizarre way it's handled.

Well, found out the Rogers Store was still opened so I went down there. $180 for the screen replacement. They are ordering the part in and until then I have decided to just keep on using the phone because I dont want to have to deal with a loaner.
My wallet is on fire.
Thats actually pretty cool.

I turned glance off. Glance to lock screen flip flopping got annoying.

That's because all animations were sped up.
Pocket Now posted this comparison video between the HTC One max and the Note 3, pretty much sums up what we talked about yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdGEqz6DHh4

I don't feel you're getting what I'm saying. In case you didn't notice, you just compared something that's supposed to be a phone, really portable, light and should fit on your pocket, with tablets. Consumers will not buy the One max as a tablet, nor can they, unless they're willing to spend much more money for an inferior product. The One Max offers a big screen for its massive size and good battery life. But other than that it's worse than every other phone in that range and clearly worse than the HTC One. It's big, fat, much heavier than the Note 3 and again, does not offer any other features to make up for it, while it costs the same as the Note 3 and more than the Mega. It's a stretched out HTC One with a shitty camera and people will not buy this product. It sucks as a smartphone and sucks as a tablet. One could make an argument how it's a shame that consumers neither bought the regular One, but it's only a shame, because the One is a really good product, the max isn't.

It's a research prototype. They rarely look like consumer products.
Nice
Why would they even build that prototype as they must've known consumers don't want that? It seems like a waste of research and money. Don't tell me that was the best one out of all the ideas they came up with.
That syncing of those screens and the interaction between them seems like the kind of thing engineers would have fun with.

8.1 updates are really quite nice.

It's a hardware research prototype. They go through many, many stages until they get canned or go into pre-production and the proper design stage.
Here's another popular example.

I just updated it with neither feature being available. What magic did you perform?
Edit: Nevermind. Opened it up and now all is working.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Also, 1020 screen>>>>>>920 screen.
Yeah, but the 920 is about 350 Euros less. That much for a big improvement to the cam and small improvements to weight, looks and screen is hard to swallow.
That's the one I have, the matte yellow is beautiful. You know you want it

Ugh, the Bing Weather app lock screen is just background images. Was hoping for detailed status option.
Can't agree with that I'm afraid.
I love how the colours pop and I love the black levels, but the 920 is a lot better when it comes to text. The 1020 looks pixely, for the lack of a better word.
With the 920 you don't get that at all. Superior for browsing, so superior all round for me.

i like how you can see the seams around the bottom speaker at 2 minutes in... DAT BUILD QUALITY
I don't see it
Yeah it's still quite a basic weather app in that regard compared to the likes of Forecast and the rest.
posted this in the Nokia Lumia thread but there seems to be a good amount of Lumia users here so figured I'd re-post it here.
Dropped my Lumia 928 in the toilet last night
Immediately turned it off and dried it off the best I could with a towel
Didn't have any rice tho
Just turned it on this morning, seems to be working fine...
gg phone, I knew it was built like a brick so I assumed it was pretty durable but I really had no idea. This seems to vouch for that, hopefully no problems show up down the road.

lol, given my phone's weight this was entirely a possibility
but no the toilet is unharmed

920s do that.

My 920 has taken an absurd amount of punishment. Any other big phone would have been obliterated by now. This shit is the Thinkpad of the smartphone realm.

My 920 got ran over by a car and only the screen saver got damaged.

Was the car ok?

SkyDrive integration in 8.1 is pretty great. Just noticed all my phone pictures are in a folder.
Edit: Did I read somewhere that the IE11 tab sync would work with WP8?
