Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Windows Phone 8 GDR3 8.0.10512, expected to begin delivery to current devices in the coming weeks, will bring many new features to current and future Windows Phones, including:

  • Support for 1080p display for new devices like the Lumia 1520
  • Support for new processors including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon MSM8974 quad-core CPU
  • Close apps by tapping on the X on top right in multitasking view. The icon of the app appears below.
  • Custom tones for text or IM, voicemail, email and reminders
  • Better storage management: New storage settings make it easier to free up space on your phone and manage temporary files. A new category view shows what's taking up space at a glance.
  • Screen Rotation lock: When auto-rotate screen is off, your screen will stay in the current orientation when you rotate your phone.
  • Driving Mode: Turns of all notifications except texts and phone calls when you're driving. You can also turn calls and texts off completely or set Driving Mode to text and automatic reply like "Hey, I am driving right now. I'll reply you later." Driving Mode can start automatically when your phone connects to a Bluetooth device.
  • Connect to Wi-Fi in OOBE when switching on your new phone for the first time or after you your reset your phone, so you can restore your data even before connecting to a cellular network.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

ok, let's try this tomorrow, see how it works out

UPDATE
So it's charging at 28% an hour from my office plugpoint. At this rate it will take around 3:35 to charge it.
Is this ok?

btw, I have glance on and data off. And I was not using the phone while it was charging.
If I have data on, then it will take more than 4 hours then :-(

No I don't think so. Generally I charge at night. But sometimes due to heavy usage when my battery gets real low, and I charge it, I noticed it charges to 60 - 75% in an hour.

Even once I forgot to turn the switch on after plugging it at night, and when I came in morning I noticed my mistake :p Then I put it on and within 45 mins it was around 60%.

I am not sure about why you want to go for a windows I have 3 variant for windows no offense but they are damn slow and pretty useless.
i have 6.5 and an older version and also the new Lumia range but the thing is Lumia is still better you don't kill yourself with it.
You don't have blink like the Android phone has you many times miss it in windows but you get a notification if your screen is locked and you miss it once you can't see it unless you check the notification.

The live tiles help to show them. I had a lot of apps, never missed anything because of this notification centre missing. You can set upto 5 apps to show the notification numbers directly on the lock screen. And atleast 24 more on the homescreen. Does anyone realistically expect to use more apps than 29 whose notifications they absolutely cant miss ?

Btw, WP8 is a long way away from 6.5, one cant simply judge using the past. Damn slow and useless ? No way. I'd genuinely want to hear you out, not trolling or anything :)

For a few people android isnt necessary because we never connect a usb keyboard or try to change the core features by using custom ROMs or stuff. I can only speak for myself and I can perfectly understand why somebody else might want an android phone, but WP is special in a few different ways and to some it matters :)

Correctamundo. WP is simple, fluid and does everything a person might ask from a phone. The integration between various services is also amazing. Add your Microsoft account to a PC running Windows 8 and you'll be astounded by the ease with which you can alternate between mobile and desktop.
