Any way to view animated GIFs in the phone from the photo hub (except on webpages in IE)? Any app for that?

Can you describe a bit more, like if you see an error message or something ?... Its drag and drop bussiness.. Just copy all the music files to the folder named Music (on the phone or the card)

hey bro, connecting lumia is most easy. Just plug in the usb port and everything will be fine if you are i, win 8. Or if you use win 7 then AFAIK you need to download windows phone app.

No, I am on W7 and I use only drag and drop for anything I need. I believe thats possibly true for vista as well...

Leave it then and enjoy as it is.
I guess, once it's updated it will remove it guess.



Talk.To stopped working from me too :-(. Need to move to other app. WP should have supported chat for other profiles like Gtalk, Yahoo, Skype etc. from their messaging hub itself like Facebook

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I feel bad for Nokia, planning to hold back my purchase now atleast until WP8.1 is released likely by next April. I had my eyes nearly set on the 6inch phablet, but this raises a lot of questions. :|
I'd predict a growing disenchantment with the superior imaging and all-round goals like Nokia did. And not to mention maps and bug fixing.

MS wants 15% marketshare by 2018, that goes well with my view of them as a numbers-oriented company, one that left WP7 users in the lurch because it wasnt 'economical' to backport NT kernel to the older processors. This is the same company that routinely releases and kills its own product lines and has wacky ADs with little sense. I guess its goodbye to some genuinely funny ads, great comeras and above all great reliability and service.

Heh, I am already thinking of getting a N4 as backup, especially with the price drop...

RIP Nokia. Thee shall not be forgotten. :|

Or It could be the next big thing with hardware and software under the same roof,as exactly what redmond intended! Nokias hardware strength and MS software with no evil interest of acquisition in between or those deliberate late software update mess!

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Although I'd hope for that (thats why intend to wait) I get this uneasy feeling that MS is much more likely to behave in a completely irresponsible/idiotic manner with regards to anything as compared to Nokia. Look at the XBONE launch, the WP7 fiasco the scroogled AD campaign to name a few.

If anything, I fear the Nokia's ability to churn out rather special handsets may be devoured in a race to make money byt diluting the investment in imaging/support.

The root of the problem is this *www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/4688962/...-windows-phone-marketshare-by-2018/in/4453001

See whats happening? 'Want to triple the marketshare by 2018' - That precisely is the problem. It speaks nothing about this year-end or next year. By 2018 end - so that they can scramble and release something by 2017 and try and hope to meet the numbers (which are far TOO modest to be a goal). This is precisely why WP8 has a lot of bugs - scramble for a late release then then complain that the numbers werent met while easily forgetting that your OS wasnt exactly a market leader in a lot of areas. Look at what happened to Notification centre or FM radio (I dont use either much, but still) in WP8 or the support for multiple volume profiles or a decent skype app.

The only thing I see getting better is update cycles. But at the loss of the nifty little Nokia add-ons - I wouldnt sign up for that the way things stand now..

I hope this means good things, but I fear the worst from what I know. Thats why I'll wait for WP8.1. And right now I am very happy with my L520.

And look at this fallout-

*www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/4689026/nokians-mourn-the-loss-of-their-company-to-microsoft/in/4453001

These are people who defined a brand identity. I fear MS simply cant buy up talent to contain this fallout.
