I'm planning to get a Lumia 720. I have been reading complaints about its screen freezing, phone switching off frequently. Any sugestions?

Any idea on how to remove the other storage?? i have about 1.8 GB under other storage...

I have installed Adobe reader and PDF reader in my L520 but they both are showing that no pdf is available for display even though i have a bunch of pdfs in my SD card.. do i need to store them in the phone memory??

I guess they needs to be placed under Documents. Phone Memory / SD Card doesn't matter.

Apps in WP8 reads file from specific folders. You can't just create folders of your own. And can't browse as it lacks File Manager.

So creating a "Documents" folder in the SD card and then storing the pdf would suffice the purpose.. thanks..

Other Storage??

Still showing that no files are available even after placing it under "Documents"..

I've tried already, it wont work..

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Hold on I have some PDF. Let me check the folder

Sorry bro, can't find the PDF's

I have downloaded them and I can read them using Reader, but it's not showing when connected to PC. I guess WP8 stores them on some isolated places

Another fault, if I download something I should get it, storing them on some isolated places is not at all justified.

Downloads should atleast go to a folder called downloads.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I don't like this folder specific idea anyways. WP8 should have a file manager. It's too daunting to maintain everything by apps.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Is that what we call a 'file manager' ?
EDIT: I get it now.

I'd be fine with apps doing all the work as long as they can atleast find the stuff from anywhere on the phone. At the very least, atleast being able to drop files into the appropriate folders should be fine. It currently only works for ringtones.
