Ah figured out what I was doing wrong. Because I'm at work I'm using text input, but the first query brought me to Bing so the following questions were also just Bing searches.

Quick question concerning WP/W8 universal app development, can't for the life of me find an answer anywhere: how do I reference a shared asset?
None of these work
edit: so,
is the proper way to do it, but of course I can't use a XAML file as the Source of my Image... why do I need to jump through so many hoops
Code:
new Uri("Assets/heart-medium-blue.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
new Uri("/Assets/heart-medium-blue.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
new Uri("Shared/Assets/heart-medium-blue.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
new Uri("/Shared/Assets/heart-medium-blue.xaml", UriKind.Relative);None of these work
edit: so,
Code:
new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/heart-medium-blue.xaml", UriKind.Absolute);is the proper way to do it, but of course I can't use a XAML file as the Source of my Image... why do I need to jump through so many hoops
Santander are still missing, no? So is HSBC and Nationwide.
I have far more confidence that utilizing the 3D space for user interface (3d touch) can be something actually very useful compared to 3D displays like Fire Phone has shown. 3D sensing that Google is working could be cool but it seems more like an engineering tool at this moment and consumer impact will be limited for now. There is still a fundamental issue with touch-based mobile devices being unable to utilize hover menus on websites (you can't). And who hasn't had problems trying to put the text pointer exactly where we want on the text?
Of course, as with all new technologies, bad implementation will actually kill it. And if it's actually useful, why hasn't other companies tried the same thing? What technology did they lack?

Why not? Even for hover menus and increasing precision, which what our thumbs inherently can't do well, it's already useful enough. You don't need to do fancy gimmicks with it. As long you can make it something that most users can trigger at will and not make it more frustrating, it can only add to the interface.

This sounds less like Metro dying and more like Windows defaulting to whatever makes the most sense for the form factor. As long as you can still enable the RT side of things on the desktop, I'm fine with it.
I'm more interested in the Phone/RT merge and what it means for existing hardware. Another 7.5 > 8 scenario would be terrible.
Off by default. I can see the articles already:

Metro never lived. It was always dead.

God bless. Its about time. Im going to buy Win9 so hard.
The lack of tiles on the desktop is likely to have that effect, yes. Win 8 got clobbered because to many people didn't like that UI and the changes to the desktop. They are going back on those changes, so yeah, people will be happy.

It voids it until the official release by your carrier. Though if anything does go wrong you can always downgrade using the the Nokia Software Recovery Tool and nobody would be able to tell the difference
Yup
I really hope the official release is soon. I'm still experiencing issues with my phone. Just a few minutes ago my phone got super hot, when I tried to unlock my phone, I would just see a black screen with "loading..." scrolling across the screen. This forced me to restart my phone to see my battery went from ~86% to 36% from just sitting idle for 45 minutes. This is on top of the other issues that still linger like WiFi not connecting and stuttering performance. I used to think solid, stable performance was one of the key strengths of WP, unfortunately that's no longer the case.
As for voiding the warranty, everything I've read or heard from MS is it "may" void the warranty. I'm not entirely convinced it actually voids the warranty. It always seemed like it's just something they say to cover their asses in case a carrier takes issue with it.

T-mo USA announced a release date of July 5 online and July 16 at retail stores for the 635.
Good to know it's not just me so hopefully gets fixed soon

I'm able to add via Cortana. Editing my appointments? Nope.

Yeah, I can confirm that I get the same behavior. Seems like a glaring bug that shouldn't have gotten out.
Is there anyone where this is working for them? I use Google Calendar where it doesn't work. I wonder if it works ok if you only use Outlook calendar?
Fortunately, I don't do much calendar editing on my phone.
Yes I can add via Cortana but can also not edit nor add through app... I use multiple outlook calendars

Thankfully they just released an update for Calendar which fixes it.

Didn't the 630 launch at a cheaper price than the 520 did? So why not go for that one?

If I buy and import a 930 from England, will it work on AT&T.
I want my green phone.

It runs on the following networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 / HSPA 850/900/1900/2100
And LTE 800, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600
Check if AT&T supports that.
The phone also needs to be unlocked, but I expect you now that.

No Glance screen.

No Android L either.
Base on what you posted, AT&T will work but no LTE. It does have the AT&T bands for voice and HSPA data.

has calmed down a bit.
I thought mango was a dumb name for an update, but as usual Google beats Microsoft at everything.
For what?

For not posting in the Android thread.
Why Windows Phone cannot rebound
"This may seem like just another spring, a season among others. But look closer we are in fact witnessing the final hope for any meaningful future for Windows Phone being snuffed out."
"All of that helped give Windows Phone 3% to 5% slice of the smartphone market. And now that pitiful toehold is already eroding, washed away by the flood of $100 Android smartphones. There is no coming back from this debacle."
"It is the death knell for the entire Windows Phone project."

I have no clue, I just got an email saying that I was selected and the voucher code.
The other day I got 5 pounds too, it's all very strange.
MS love me, it seems. They should give me a job, I even believe in the cloud.
