Windows phone 8 Can not be a lot of features that make all people spend a lot of money to upgrade to new devices and about 20% of the windows phone users do not need to spend a lot of money
Why Microsoft Stopped Skype Services for windows phone 7.8 !! >>> Skype Paid services
I agree, 8 does not offer enough for the money over 7.8 for me to want to upgrade my perfectly working Radar. Well, perfectly until recently when Maps suddenly stopped being able to find any business or POI...
As of september it can't find any business or POI (starbucks, gas station, library, etc.), only cities and street names. I ditched the stock ROM and flashed deepshining WP7.8 so I can use the Nokia Here Maps and Drive.
What's really gets me though is I noticed the business search still works after a factory reset, but only until a few mins in when the phone finishes configuring itself. That is with the sim in, and If i leave the sim out while it configures and put it in afterwards it works for a few hours before it suddenly stops. This means the service is there and perfectly useable by the old app. It's like it must be some configuration finally completing and changing some setting to disable it. This really ticks Me off.
I'm going to try to pull a reg backup right after reset while it's still working and compare it to one from after it dies, not sure where and which hive to start looking in though, so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.
Nevermind They also broke the search button: http://wmpoweruser.com/did-microsoft-break-the-windows-phone-7-8-bing-search-feature/
P.S. I called T-Mobile TS about the issue and they've had other reports, so I'm not the only one. They tried to three-way call HTC about it to ask some qs, but ended up just sending me to them by mistake, anyway HTC pointed the finger at MS and gave Me their number. Good luck with that eh.
UPDATE - FIX FOUND!: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-business-poi-search-disabled-ms-fix-t3229083
in short, it's a business... :silly:
but wait, the Windows Phone 8.1 support will ends on Jul 11, 2017
p.s.: to tell the true, it's just too sad to see how the great idea is buried alive...

network frequency is "900/1800MHZ" which means its GSM, which means you can use it with everyone pretty much except Verizon but they might not be able to activate it since its a foreign model, but i think you are out of luck here anyway since the developers on this site program for windows mobile (which it doesnt run)
p.s.- IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television...not sure what the heck that means in terms of your phone though
yes. It comes up with the windows logo & says "Windows push technology" in the startup screen, other than that I have no idea?
well, "push technolgoy", whether its windows or apple or whoever makes it...just means that your phone has the capability of constantly checking for email, messages, etc....it means that you can set it to check for email (if you have a data plan), ever 5, 10, or 15 minutes, etc...if you wish. data is constantly being 'pushed" to and from your phone, that's all it means, so it looks like you have a limited user interface, not windows by any stretch, but still microsoft based technology, while the base rom is probably made by some 3rd party subsidiary of the company that makes the phone.
so not supported by microsoft, but still usable.
Thank you for your prompt reply on this. It is a good phone but limited on it's PDA side, Music wise is excellent as it has an extremely loud MP3 player and plays videos downloaded from the net or from my own camera....It's just a bit annoying that the PDA section is worse than useless... but your help is appreciated

That happens to me from time to time. Sometimes I'm doing something and it suddenly happens, sometimes it's happened while the screen's been turned off and no programs have been running in background.
So is this a normal TF3D feature, or should I contact warranty services?
The graphics everywhere else are normal, it just seems to affect the TF3D.
Have you tried a hard reset? No that is definitely not normal... try a hard reset. If that doesnt solve it you should probably contact warrenty services.
Mine does it too. It also produces an effect that looks a bit like a 'broken screen', AND sometimes, just for fun, it pretends it's an old analogue TV that someone unplugged the aerial from (ie snow). All have been covered elsewhere on XDA. Mine has been doing it since day one (along with GPS lag about as long as a Nimitz class carrier) and three months later it still keeps on plodding along, annoying the hell out of me, making me wish I haden't wasted £479.99 on it....
On a more practical note, it looks like you have altered your Touch Flo a bit, mine has problems with the bog standard ROM and with customisations to the Manila.
*EDIT* Actually, it looks like your Touch Flo is bog standard so i'll shut up. Ahem.
Hehe yeh, it's the standard TF3D, and yes I've tried hard reset, no help. Sent the phone to the shop I bought it from, let's see if they can do anything about it.
Unfortunately the place I bought mine from doesn't take returns after 28 days. I have funally badgered HTC support into offering a repair, but I have a bad feeling that the will simply send it back and say it's okay (then give me a bill, LOL ; )
I'm actively considering flashing another ROM but can't make up my mind.... Hope the shop you bought it from replaces it : )
Hello,
I currently have a problem with the automatic time synchronization.
When I set a correct time and switch to automatic, it slowly differs to a point where I have to "fix" the time myself (when more than 5 minutes).
I tried setting a completely false time (11am when it's only 8am) and switch automatic sync. It doesn't synchronize at all, it stayed on 11am and I had 3hours difference all day long.
I though it was my provider but a friend with an Iphone and the same provider manage to synchronize. Also, I found on my provider website a tutorial with the nexus S saying it should work (so I guess my provider support NITZ)
Any ideas ?
I currently have a stock nexus S and have SFR (in france) as a provider.
Thanks in advance
if network sync is not working for you
then i'll suggest this nice little app
ClockSync

Aren't there a way to make the android sync working (or making the provider working with it)?
I'm the kind of person who likes having fewer application on his phone.
(but of course if there is no solution, I'll download the app)
just for reference, i'm on stock 2.3.3 and it works pretty much right away after i enabled Network Sync in settings
a couple of weeks back during the NAM time change, i checked the box, and a few sec later it updated the time from my carrier
so, if there is a bug, it would not be from the AOS but rather something else, it could be a some other settings issues, or simply your phone carrier might not talk in the same language for the NTP sync... as in they are only compatible with iphones
or it could be a million of other things
the easiest way to find out is to factory reset the phone
uncheck the sync network time in settings
change the time to something wrong
then go back to settings and enable the sync network time
and if it changes after a couple of minutes, then your phone is fine, and it was probably some other installed apps causing the problem
So, I was over at a friend's dinner party, and a friend of mine was screwing around with my phone. She tried the password a bunch of times, then was at the 2 minute lock timer, and I don't know if the battery came loose or something, but the screen went black and wouldn't turn back on. So she gave me back the phone, I took out the battery and put it back in to reboot.
I get the phone locked wait for x amount of time thing.. for 113 6xx minutes.

Edit: I just looked at the numbers and just realized I'm an edited. It's 2 and a half months. lol.
I do know the PIN, but I don't want to wait that long. And I really don't want to reset it since I got a few things I want to keep on there. Is there any way around this?
Additional info: Samsung Focus, developer unlocked, running latest updates.
Please help me out. Thanks!
Connect to Zune and restore it to previous backup. or better post in MS phone support forums for quick help
n do post the solution here when u get it
I figured my only option would be to restore or hard reset. I restored it to my last point which was about a month ago which isn't too bad, but I wish I had a later restore point.
In addition, I just realized it set the date and time to Oct 18 for some reason, which is exactly 78.xxx days (amount of minutes left) of the timer away from the current date.
So for anybody who can figure it out, the lock timer probably can be changed by learning how to change to date and time through another method. I was thinking Zune could sync up with it somehow, but I didn't feel like trying. Needed my phone.
Thanks
Yeah get that girl to buy you a new phone or rent one for 2 and a half months lol
lol enough with the giggles you're best solution would be to restore from previous versions
an ideas just reply?
Well, I got the developer preview a while ago. It looks almost exactly like Windows 7 mobile. (The live tiles, etc, etc, etc...) The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED. You had to use all these weird hotkeys to get anywhere useful and alot of the windows hotkeys that have been around forever just didn't work. Hopefully the consumer preview will be more KB/M friendly. Having been a geek since the early Windows 3.x days I found that in an attempt to make the new OS less frustrating for computer newbies, they made it more frustrating for us old-timers that are used to the traditional Windows GUI.
I do, however, like the new "Blue Screen Of Death".

You can cut it to a classic theme that works more like win7 if that's what you want... Also, that's windows phone 7.
It'll probably be like Vista ie ignored by business.
10-12 years time you'll probably have companies still trying to work out how to buy computers that can take W7, just as we have companies only buying specific PCs because there are XP drivers still available for them.
It is really
Windows 7 phone OS with a desktop app, it's slow, clunky, has tons of errors, and is only good for tablets(in my opinion) go to dev.windows.com and download and try it yourself
We already know what it'll look like.
Bloody awful!
No need to wonder - here's a screenshot.
no start menu so i'm wondering how much time it will take to get used to that...
The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED.
