Hehe. It seems like it now drains about 12% in 9 hours after tweaking the settings. Who knew? xD

Teehee. Probably because the phone would then be incapable of idling well, huh?
I wonder what would happen if I disable Xbox Live and Facebook, but then I'd be losing functionality. Probably even more savings since there would be less connections, no?

The person who was doing that was flashing their phone with a new OS. No normal user will ever get errors like that.

Within three moths at most, may take longer depending on carrier, never for LG Optimus 7

Even the Galaxy S2 users are going to get jellybean before any Mango user gets 7.8.
4.1 though, right? What non-nexus devices have gotten 4.2?

So I will be able to upgrade my phone on February 10th. I'm on Verizon, and I want to continue to use Windows Phone (I currently use the HTC Trophy) so my options are the Lumia 822 or HTC 8X. I like what I've seen of the 8X, but to anyone who has one, how is it on a daily basis? If it is that bad, I can wait for a little while to see if another phone comes out, but there doesn't seem to be any rumored for release anytime soon.
The new features in 4.2 are kind of pointless for non-Nexus phones since all the OEMs build their own lock screen, camera and keyboards.
Nokia might have something new at Mobile World Congress for Verizon I think.
I thought Miracast was a good addition as an Airplay alternative, even though support is pretty stagnant right now.

I love my red 8x, but I'm bias (to quote Topolsky).

Gah, dropped my HTC 8X for the first time - landed on the volume rocker/camera button side. Now the volume rocker is a little messed and the camera button is super sensitive. Damn it

Uh oh, I exchanged my 920 after the proximity sensor started freaking out, and now my replacement phone won't sync my school's calendar, which uses google apps. Did Google fuck me over? I synced the calendar through Exchange on the phone I traded in, and everything was fine.
Edit: well, all of the items on that calendar were actually added by me personally, and since the semester just started I didn't even put that much on there. I guess I can get the exact same effect by just making a hotmail calendar with the same info.

Windows Phone isn't his OS, so he might as well use a better phone, right?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Then why is he using an iPhone?

I like how the headline is 'just months after being ejected from microsoft'. I really don't think he was given the boot...
No more dogfooding for this guy!
Been waiting for the orientation lock since the launch of wp7. The fact that they still dont have such a basic function is quite astounding to me. A notification center is at least coming, if some of the quotes are to be believed(god knows when though).

Any news regarding the WP 8 update with a notification center and hopefully an orientation lock?
Here's how he responded to someone asking about this:

And he responded in the comments of this blog post:

Is it just me or is it extremely hard to connect with the S3 and iPhone 5 via Bluetooth?
My phone would detect the S3,iPhone and pair with it, revealing all the codes and a prompt in which I click "Yes" and a prompt in the other phone to connect.
However, it would say 'connected' but after a second it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
And NFC with the S3 doesn't work either.

Wrong thread?

NFC on the S3 has Samsung specific enhancements. Sharing links is the only thing I've found to work with my 920.
iPhone 5, no clue.
Sorry I left out that my phone is the Lumia 920.
What about Bluetooth with any phone? When I had my Focus I couldn't connect to my cousin's N8 via bluetooth, and no luck with my 920 now. I'm wondering if this is a Windows Phone thing, that it sucks at bluetooth connection/transfers. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
Bluetooth should work, OS shouldnt matter. I have connected my phone to old ass feature phones via bluetooth. I dont know what special NFC features on a Samsung phone could possibly have to do with establishing a BT connection to another phone.
That's what I thought, but apparently I can never establish a stable connection with other phones. I'd keep pressing to pair, it connects, then disconnects after 1-2 seconds. On the other phone my Lumia 920 isn't visible.

Well, today my dad changed from his N8 to a 920 and the contact transfer went without a hitch (As expected from Symbian). My brother too changed from an iPhone 4 to a 920 and it connected without issues.

Lol. At least it makes some sense compared to " I am not the first time to the first time to the first"...etc

I was sending a text about this when I noticed that word flow.
Yep worked fine for me too.
Skype runs on the Messenger back end and uses live accounts for login so I wouldn't expect the change to affect us at all. They haven't said anything officially though.
The weird thing is Skype seems to use either your Microsoft account or your Skype account depending on where you are logging in from. On the web interface and the Windows 8 app I can log in with my Microsoft account but from the WP7 Skype app and the Vita app I have to log in with my old Skype account.
Cheers for the heads up, surprised it took them so long.
Having this same issue myself actually but my headset is pretty old. Can anyone recommend something? Using 8x.

Even if your headset is old, if your headsets uses one of the generic profiles for headset use, you will be fine. It's a standard for a reason.
You won't be able to play music without A2DP though
