Shame, can't fool you
Yeah, I've set the search to US, don't need to set the region to it for it to work. Nothing else is affected by this as far as I can tell.
Oh I thought you had to change region too. Might swap back then to it.

I was giving out about this yesterday. Apparently it doesn't happen on the US keyboard.

I really hate being told I don't have enough space to install an 820MB when I have 2.7GB free.
Happens sometimes. I don't like that it doesn't change 'Im' to 'I'm' at the beginning of a sentence.
Edit:
OMG! Hill Climb Racing is on the Store! I was addicted to this game when I had an android phone and was bummed that isn't on Windows Phone BUT NOW IT IS! LASTFLOWERS REDEEMED!

yo bros, message Coin and ask them for WP support. their site https://onlycoin.com/ says they'll support WP with enough requests.
don't know if I'd buy one as they haven't explained if the coin card itself will have your name imprinted on. it'd be a damn hassle explaining how that card works to retailers.

Guy's you gotta help me troubleshoot this 520 music issue
Using Windows Media Player to sync to SD Card
Music sync's perfectly and all the album art and expected tags come down to the phone
If the phone is rebooted I lose the tags
Meaning the "Artists" and "Albums" tab's are empty after reboot
The only place to find music is in "Songs" which is unacceptable when you're dealing with 6GB's of music
Xbox music sync is turned off. Hell every setting is turned off even WIFI
I've wiped the phone to factory
I updated to black
Nothing works. I bought this damn thing as a music phone to just sit in my bag and be charged once in a blue moon but it's useless since I can't let it lose power.

Or the desktop app for Win7 or 8.
Good article on Android forking: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/02/neither-microsoft-nokia-nor-anyone-else-should-fork-android-its-unforkable/
I'm looking forward to the day Google faces some real, substantial anti-trust issues and hope the EU won't be as lenient as they were in their handling of search.
For that to happen, Windows might have to die first, though. Not expecting anything any time soon.
If Google continue to increase their dominance in computing (from search, to youtube, to mobile, to web browsers, ...) maybe the company could be split at some point (as Microsoft was threatened to be split up in the early 2000s).

Good thing we have the bootleg lol, Windows Phone will be the exclusive platform of Fappy Birds in 20 hours.
I would have just go away from the internet for what? A month? Or maybe less even, just enjoying the buckets of money people keep giving me for free, is not like Flappy Bird has the content to keep going for months and months like other games, the stress was a problem that would have solve itself

Windows Phone 8.1 Action Center?
http://wmpoweruser.com/new-screenshot-leak-shows-windows-phone-8-1-action-center/

"The action center is activated by swiping from the top of the screen, like on other platforms."
:/ it probably is for the better, is accessible and people are familiar with it, but I hoped the WP team would have find another way to activate it, one thing I'd like is if you could select various items at once (the option is down there in one of the screenshots) and do a single action for all of them, like send a group message, or give several likes for facebook, etc.

That's what I have Neogaf and this thread for, no need for Flappy Bird.
I like on my Xperia if you want to access google now you hold home and swipe up. That'd be a good option for this.

I can't wait for better setting and notification center. I spend 10 mins helping my co-workers navigating through the setting the other day just to find her phone number.

Looks good! Flashlight feature would be nice. I appreciate the battery percentage, too. Swipe down makes sense, and will let you access the system bar when in an app like IE without having to hold the back button.

Currently, if you're in an app that doesn't support the status bar pulldown such as IE, you can pull the app bar up from the bottom and it will display the status bar on the top.
Notification center/quick settings looks good to me assuming that screen is real.

The notification center looks like an Android skin. I hope it looks better with the light theme.
Arrrrggghhh! Seriously does no one at Microsoft like a scrubber in their music apps?
Just been playing with the xbox music for ios, the lack of scrubber (or in ios'a case: anyway to fast forward through tracks) is frustrating.
Please give me a scrubber. Everywhere! All snap states in win 8 especially (it was there before).
Bonus points for a scrubber in the wp8.1/win8/9 volume overlay.

The lack of a scrubber was actually one of the key reasons why an iOS fanboy/audio-book loving friend of mine returned back to his iPhone from the 920 after a week or so.
Really stupid omission.

small hands?
According to the Verge article, it's customizable.
How do you like your 625?
Looks like I lost another one. My sisters boyfriend, who has actually been pretty happy with the HTC 8X I recommended to him when the phone came out, is about to switch to Android (some new Xperia).
For some reason he had some issues when texting with my sister (probably via WhatsApp). Apparently he didn't get all texts or maybe didn't get them in time or something. Annoyed the two of them so much that he just ordered another phone. Idiot should have asked me about the issues first. I don't think WhatsApp has any major issues on Windows Phone, does it? At least my mother has no issues on the 920. I'm curious if he always installed the newest WhatsApp updates.

I've had zero problems with WhatsApp on WP8.
It's kinda ugly, but they're supporting it well.
