Is it that time of the month again? Screw North America, just focus on gains overseas. Sure it lost market share in 3 markets, but they are also ignoring the markets which grew.

I don't see Microsoft competing against the Android One initiative. They're getting fucked in all directions.

Wpblue already does compete with this....akaik about the one initiative. Theoretically anyone in this thread can become a WP OEM with a small chunk of money.

Thurrot on MS wearables
Sounds kinda pointless.
Also sounds like it won't advance WP in any way considering it all works with other platforms too.

Anyone have any airplane mode experience on 8.1? Just got off a flight and couldn't play any of my local media in airplane mode. (music and podcasts)
My 620 is almost exclusively in airplane mode and my mp3's play fine. Are your songs downloaded from XBox Music or anything? Might be DRM related.

Nope, don't think I've ever DL'd something from Xbox music. Pretty sure I don't have any DRM tracks.
Weird. No idea what the problem would be :/
I use OneMusic instead of the built in 8.1 music app but I can't see that being the issue.

has calmed down a bit.
That's great for people like me though. I'm contemplating buying a android wear watch but then I'd have to sell it if I switched platforms again, which is very likely this year.

did you try a reboot? Usually if something like that happens a reboot fixes the issue. Stupid that it happens in the first place.
This thing sounds like a fail already if it's not a real watch.
Wearables all sound like a fail. It is some sort of industry wide push towards something nobody wants. Like motion controls with consoles.

How long until Microsoft backs the Brinks Truck up to Pebble's HQ? The SDK more than supports it now.
I can't see myself wearing a smart-sports band. I like the aesthetics of a watch.

Wait until the dick-bands are announced -.-
I need to read texts while pissing.
How do you link contacts texts back to the correct person? For example your texts at least mine seem to link to Facebook profiles. For some reason my phone automatically linked the wrong Facebook account to one of my best friends. When I removed it all communication from him is now linked to the wrong person. wtf !!
Ex:
Friend 1: Have texts dating back a long time
Friend 2: Just a Facebook friend that I don't even have his number aka no history of communication
Phone for some reason recently linked friend 1 and 2
After I notice this I unlink friend 2 from 1
Now all past texts from friend 1 are now linked to friend 2 instead of friend 1

I can only see smart devices going as far as Wrist (And Eyes by the end of the decade once the tech catches up). Beyond that it will mostly be impractical.
Don't you just go into the People hub, select the person, select Link then tap the links you want to remove?
Please read the example.

Xbox music updated. Still shit.
Scrolling is choppy as hell on my HTC 8X for the updated music app.
Maybe, but the chances to succeed are higher if the wearable looks like a watch than a wristband IMO.

Shuffle bug hasn't been fixed. It's still shit. When I shuffle it stays in the same letter.

Yeah that actually fixed it. When I was at the airport waiting for my second flight, I tried to play a podcast and got the same error, restarted and we were good to go.

DL'd Xbox Music update, still truly baffled by how bad the performance is.
Supposed mid level Lumia.
Runs windows phone? DOA.
/jk
Also no contact pins on the back so wireless charging built in?
Guess: 720p screen (OLED true black), snapdragon 400, 8mp non pureview, NFC, Wireless charging, Miracast ?
Pretty much 920 era hardware at a lower price point.
Supposed mid level Lumia.
Very small bezel, nice.
So is the 930 supposedly the new "flagship" for now, or can we expect a new phone in the fall? My contract ends in the fall, and looking forward to switching the 1020 for some better hardware. 930 doesn't make the cut due to no Glance. If no other phones, damn, I might have to look at an android....

I think McLaren will be the last chance I'll give to WP. I absolutely love the Lumia 1020 and I want a similarly ballsy phone with all of WP's goodness, but the OS is just fucking stagnant in terms of functions and apps.
Right now I'm testing a LG G3 and it's fucking ba-na-nas, not to mention that a more powerful Galaxy S5 is on its way. I just cannot justify brand loyalty anymore.

Ooo oh, no, baby please don't go!
bububu folders!
Anyway, I will definitely get the 1030, I just can't go back to a phone with a regular camera.
Personally, I couldn't give a fuck about whether the processor is numberd 800, 801 or whatever. A good, 1080p screen (with glance), a good, fast processor (800 will do me) and an updated and improved camera that is a lot faster, better microphone array, built in wireless charging etc. is what I want. Preferably in a slightly lighter and thinner package than the 1020, but really, I don't give too much of a shit about that either.
Feature and app wise WP has me covered at the moment.
3D touch! Finally a feature that makes the OS interesting to all the Android lovers because you will not use it more than two times.
e: 830 looks nice.
Many frame drops with the G3? The videos I saw of it made it seem to stutter a lot more than the M8, and things just weren't as instantaneous. Linus of Linus Tech Tips fame did a comparison between the two and there was a noticeable delay for the G3 bringing up multitasking for example versus the M8.
