Support NeoGAF

[brotkasten]

Mandatory Kinect.

You mean "internet requirement". God, imagine if your phone was always online ...

The only thing I really wish for is that they stay away from three wide tile layouts.

Whenever I think of the team messing with Metro, something like this comes to mind ...

So if rumours (and some confirmed reports) are true GDR3 will be a pretty good catch-up update: Notification Center, individual volume controls, 1080p, message syncing, rotation lock, etc. But does someone now about unique rumored features?

That'd be awesome if it happened. It's big enough we could even have a thread on it if it happened, would alleviate a lot of issues some have with WP.

Maybe facebook notifications would finally work?

 

[hadareud]

If all that stuff is really in GDR3 it would be a more than decent update and more importantly, it would show that Microsoft are actually making Blue a worthwhile, real update, not just a catch-up thing.

I'm excited now. When is GDR3 supposed to be out? October? After just a short while in waiting for approval we should all be able to enjoy our rotation lock come March.

Maybe facebook notifications would finally work?

Nothing can make Facebook notifications work, don't be silly.

OK. With the latest Xbox Update, I can use MS Points on my Windows Phone:


But I don't see any option to use my MS Account in Windows 8.1 App Store or Surface RT.

thats awesome for my son - bought him a 520 for his birthday but he has no CC (only 12) so this is a good way for him to pay for his own damn games

now just need MS support to unblock his account so he can actually use it. It asks for a parent's permission but then tries to charge me 50c even though I'm in the UK, and then falls over.

 

[derFeef]

Oh shiii Amber here I come.
edit: I have no idea what it did, but I got an update and after the update everything is the same as before, version numbers including.

Oh well...

I can't see it happening, but we can hope.

Still waiting for Amber on my Lumia 920 EE

You changed or installed some languages. It downloaded the language packs for the keyboard.

uggh, same.

 

[hadareud]

It's still not on Navifirm, so I wouldn't hold my breath for it coming out this week.

edit: that said, the Rogers update has apparently rolled out OTA, but it's still not on Navifirm, so who knows.

Antique, my instagram is saulphd. Yes, I own vanmardigan but I realized it too late.

You sure, it usually says what package it installed after its finished.

One can only hope! I go on holiday Sunday and really want it before then

Lastflowers should casually ask Joe where that enthusiast update program went.

while casually cleaning his AK-47.

It's waiting on googles approval.

 

[hadareud]

Good news UK people!

The 920 status has finally changed from waiting for approval to coming soon on a major carrier!

EE?

Nope. O2.

 

[PG2G]

Where the hell is my Local results tab in Bing? :|

 

[Milchjon]

Evernote updated with what sounds like a few cool features.

Obviously too busy sucking off Kevin Bacon. Not that I am bitter or anything.

I've just tweeted them, lets see whether they come back with a non-template reply.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Integrated into the main web search. Think it is better imo since local tab was wasted space a lot of the time.

Also Jokia Lunia should be used for the next Lumia thread.

Am I crazy or can you still not create a new notebook from the app? Ugh.

Not seeing anything, maybe it hasn't been completely rolled out.

AT&T will probably push it to phones next summer. Looking forward to it.

Message syncing hype for reals though.

iOS and Android can.

I meant nothing on WP.

I'll follow you! Eager to see some 1020 goodness.

4 days later.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

:lol I remember feeling like that.

I hope GDR3 or Blue has a Joe Mango-like video.

 

[Milchjon]

Nokia finally figured out how to advertise super sensitive touch in a funny way.

Edit:

925 coming to AT&T Sept. 10th, in black and for $99.99

With the Lumia 920, Lumia 1020, and now the Lumia 925, AT&T has one of the best lineups of Windows Phone in the US, provided you are looking for that sort of thing.

Verged.

 

[hadareud]

If I were you I'd just update it through the care suite Brot, unless you have game saves that you absolutely need.

Other than that everything is set up very quickly again. The only thing that's a bit of a pain is organising your start screen, but even that's done if 10/15 minutes.

Oh, and weave if you use it. There's no way to back up your weave settings, which is a major pain in the arse.

 

[VanMardigan]

Are you aandres? And damn, you guys are putting pressure on me to produce good pics. I thought instagram was about selfies and food pics? Lol.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Weird, no more Rogers splash screen when booting. Good though, boots a bit faster.

 

[lastflowers]

Told JoeB, expect the next update on AT&T phones sometime spring 2016

 

[derFeef]

Hey the HTC 8X bug got fixed, I can throw away my 920 now, lol.

edit: Availability said Amber Update should be go for me now, weird.

 

[kharma45]

Used a Lumia 925 and god damn, that phone is shit hot.

Do you never feel like "God, fuck these NeoNaggers, I wish I could talk about all these cool new things we're working on"?

Used a Lumia 925 and god damn, that phone is shit hot.

It's the screen.

 

[kharma45]

It's the screen.

The aluminium too is real nice.

 

[derFeef]

Yeah I tried the 925 in a shop and it's hot sauce. Too bad it's alsmost double the price what I paid for my 920 now.
I like the white one the best.

 

[Milchjon]

Nah, it's the screen.

Spoiler

It's not as bad in black.

 

[Lucius86]

Must admit I don't have phone envy yet with any device bar the 1020 ever so slightly now. Give it another year into my contract I will likely be saying otherwise.

God, fuck these NeoNaggers.

Man, this post was a one letter mistake away from being a disaster.

I just started drinking my cup of coffee and nearly spat it out on the keyboard and a couple of phones. One of the few times where the above situation has ever occurred. NeoNaggers is going get some good usage in my future before Bish decides to drop the inevitable axe.

Spartan Assault getting new content on the 29th along with 360 controller support on Windows 8. I need to play it more, correction I would play it more if it didn't make my phone melt.

Finally. Been holding off on finishing it till the controller support hit PC.
