Came in expecting this to be the official bb10 thread left disappointed

 

[ElNino]

What did you expect, its CIBC. Atleast the Mobile site works, I just wish I could save my info and have it not forget it every time I close the tab.

What info is it forgetting? It saves your card number so you just need to input your banking password. What more would it save?

Actually it is. People just aren't that excited.

Mine doesn't save the number..I mean, it'll save it for 2 days at most before it completely forgets it. Its a pain and I hate having to dig into my wallet to get the damned number off of the card. Other than that though, I would like an option to remember password or at the very least have a pin code for login instead.

 

[brotkasten]

Whats the Ecosystem on WP again? Are we still at a 4 or have we been finally upgraded to a 5?

I think it was 4 for WP7 and a 5 for WP8.

Liar.

Believe.

The WP ecosystem score mysteriously decreases with every new verge review.

Liar.

My card number has been saved for as long as I can remember, so not sure why yours isn't. As for saving your password, I can safely say that they will likely not implement that for fraud and legal reasons.

I came into the office today and everyone has blackberries. The sign on the building changed from Windows Phone to blackberry. Hrm.

620 looks neat.

Wallet/paypal question. I have added a paypal account to my wallet now, but since I have no CC, I skipped the part to add a CC during the paypal setup via the Wallet app. Now I purchased something in the WP8 store on the Phone, tried PayPal and it worked - but nothing appears on my paypal account and the credit is still the same.

What happened?

MS will collect the money after 3 days if your purchases are under $15.

I have no clue either. IE saves everything else I tell it to unless I explicitly tell it to clear the cache. CIBC just does it automatically for me or something.

A man can dream can't he. Options are amazing

Oh thanks, good to know

Started Skulls of the Shogun, my battery is sitting at 25% now. Phone Is on the charger. I love eating skulls, and the game loves to eat my phone's battery. Sheesh. Love the game though, sucker for turn based strategy. Surprisingly funny too.

 

[Fjolle]

Seems like 7.8 is actually out..

Now to wait a couple of weeks for it to be approved..

 

[VanMardigan]

Any word on 7.8 for the titan 2?

 

[AnkitT]

I just got a nokia update for my lumia 800. Installing right now.

edit: apparently theres a subsequent update. Hoping it is 7.8! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125565

 

[kharma45]

I'll keep checking in vain for my Optimus 7, I really hope MS push it out like they did for Tango.

 

[Steelyuhas]

HTC will not be updating their phones.

Have fun Nokia owners, we'll be over in the corner crying until our crippling AT&T contracts run out.

 

[VanMardigan]

What's clear now, clearer than ever, is that if you want to buy a Windows Phone device....you HAVE to buy a Nokia phone. HTC don't care, even after they pretended to care with the 8x, and Samsung won't even pretend like they care.

 

[PG2G]

WMPowerUser (yeah.. I know) is reporting WP 7.8 is out for all devices? Anyone try it?

HTC won't but Microsoft should.

Nothing for me (Lumia 800 T-mobile branded).

Nice, will it give u Xbox music?

I have my laptop with me, but the cable for my phone is at home. I'll check when I get home, but I'm not holding my breath.

Nope.

 

[kharma45]

Google will extend their support for new Windows Phone connections via Google Sync until July 31, 2013 whilst MS are going to update Windows Phone to support CalDAV and CardDAV

Pretty sure it doesn't.

 

[NeOak]

Nothing from my unbranded DVP

 

[AnkitT]

Yep, after two updates, the 7.8 update shows up. This oughta last me through this year.

 

[ElNino]

Since I haven't used WP8 yet (other than in-store), what does Xbox Music on the phone bring that Zune Music did not? The only thing I know of is cloud playlist support (not sure the details of how it works though) but is there anything else?

 

[NeOak]

Same here, it showed up after it did the last Tango update (hadn't done since i dont use the phone anymore). Ill take a pic of my unicorn phone with 7.8 when it finishes.

 

[Sordid]

Sweet, updating my missus' Lumia 710 just now then I'll do my 800 afterwards. For HTC folks and others not getting 7.8 the update cabs are in this post over at XDA and you can do it manually. I'm not sure how smooth it'll run without official OEM updates to accompany 7.8 though.

 

[NeOak]

Done!

 

[Tantalus]

Has anyone in the UK gotten the update yet? I've been trying on my Lumia 800 (O2) with no luck so far

 

[kharma45]

Done!

Time to check my Optimus 7 again!

 

[Wurst]

At last my 900 is updating! Took them long enough!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Good news about 7.8 and extended google support!

 

[Frost_Ace]

About time

it brings my current subscription

So after having played with it for a couple of mins, nothing has changed except the tiles. And I literally cannot find non MS tiles which will go to double wide sizes. And I dont think most apps will change that in the perceivable future. Apps seem to start a millisecond faster, but im gonna chalk this one up to placebo. The zune tile looks pretty. And yeah... theres bluetooth transfer and ringtone maker which I dont really need, but its there!

 

[kharma45]

I see some Optimus 7 owners have the update now, might try the disconnect trick.

Facebook can do it iirc, up to devs to update to enable it.

just tried it and nope

edit: oh wait it had to restart it lol

 

[Tantalus]

Just got the update working using the disconnect trick. If you aren't being offered the update, try putting your phone in airplane mode and connecting to your computer with USB. Open Zune, go into Phone settings, and whenever you click on the "Update" section in the menu, wait around 4 seconds then unplug your internet cable from your computer.

If it tells you you are already up to date then you unplugged too soon, if it tells you it couldn't check for updates you unplugged too late, but there's a sweet spot in the middle somewhere that tricks it into giving you the update.

Considering they just released the 7.8 SDK last week, it may take a little while for devs to adapt the apps.

Forgot about aeroplane mode, will try that now!

I don't even want 7.8. Can't give up on the gutter.

Gutter is shit Brot.

Sometimes you have to protect your users from their terrible design choices.

Still better, having to go back to 7.5 and the gutter is like a step back in time.

I cant get ringtone maker or Bluetooth transfer to download. There's no option. Also, I thought Nokia was supposed to be releasing the cinemagraph app. Can't find that anywhere. I'm on a lumia 900 and just got 7.8

My screen is almost exactly the same as this. You got me brot.

 

[hankster]

4 small icons across top for quick access to settings > gutter (IMO)
and maybe cinemagraph and lenses and other Nokia lovelies...

oh hai there - long time lurker, FINALLY approved for posting.

[HollovVpo1nt]

Is 7.8 coming to Omnia 7?

 

[kharma45]

Damn can't get the disconnect trick to work.
