Re: The Windows Phone Thread

And temple run on 520 runs smooth. But misses out on some swipes to jump, causing the runner to die. Which making me angry.

Same to me, maybe because of 512MB RAM?

No. If at all, its not because of low ram.

Maybe the optimization was not good enough! Who knows..

Nope, I've heard from multiple sources, including a developer that the touch API of WP isnt quite the greatest around. I have no idea what it means TBH, but that would be my guess here. Funny that a lot of people claim that there are swipe issues in Temple run, but I havent found them yet. On the other hand I have seen such issues elsewhere and therefore do acknowledge that they might be genuinely seeing it.

Since WhatsApp uses the Music API to stay in the background, one can use Stop the Music app to kill it.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

^ One can also use "Quick settings"/"Insider" app to pin the "Kill the music" option directly to the start screen, thereby saving time.

Hello All,
One quick question.. Does WP8 has full support for USSD codes...???
Any updates whether USSD support comes to WP7.8...

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Dont WP7.8 Lumias have USSD codes?

I can confirm that USSD codes work on WP8. What do you mean by 'full support' ?

 

[pmkarun]

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

For example in WP7.8 i can check only balances... If i enter an USSD code of an interactive menu it will not support..
For example in Vodafone postpaid if i dial *111# it will give
1. Unbilled
2. Latest 3 bills
3. etc
. This support is not there in Wp7.8

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

^ You can ask "sujoyp" or "ssk_the_gr8", they're on WP7.8

Guys, how're you coping with "Other Storage" problem?
- Are you resetting the phone once in a while?
- or not installing much apps/games?

As per my knowledge, there's no tool available for WP to move the apps/games to SD card. Is that right or am i missing something?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

After resetting, do i need to install all the apps again??

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

That's the beauty of it.
But you can backup the app list i guess, so that after reset the apps will come as "Push notifications" and install by itself.

AFAIK, no.
Just see that the backup for app-list is on under settings > backup and do a manual backup to the cloud, just to be sure. Google around a bit just to confirm.

Disabling auto rotation not possible?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

One has to start all over again.
The scores you got in games will be zero'd.

Not sure about XBOX games, as the scores are stored in MSFT's servers i guess.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

If you have the moolah, nothing beats the 920.

But the range of prices that the phones you mentioned cover vary greatly. So TBH, the priciest one is most likely to be best choice for a person without budget restraints and the cheapest for the ones with the tightest budget (Here its the Lumia 620, although you might want to look at the Lumia 520 which is even cheaper at ~9.5k INR)

Also, if you are planning to buy a WP8 device, have a look at them first to see if it satisfies your needs. WP phones are very different from Android phones (The specifications between android phones and WP phones cannot be compared directly, no "free versions of paid games using cracked .apk" or no 'Temple Run 2' or 'Real racing 3')

In short, if you have any doubts, ask us. Don't jump headfirst into WP

Surely will ask you if I face any doubt...

When your screen auto rotates, there's a small lock icon visible on the center of the screen for a small duration. If you press that, screen rotation will be locked.
