Re: The Windows Phone Thread

even i used to have problem to reach in the midst of a word. but ,now i am ok and it is fine to move between characters easily. it is just that you need to get used to it.

Have you used the WP8.0 version a lot (long press and wait for hovering caret) ?
Because this is a definite downgrade. I can get used to it, but that is not how I am going to like it :>

yups. in windows phone 8.1, you can reach wherever you want even without wasting time for long press. I dont know about when it exceeds character limit as you have mentioned since i haven't come across it. but i felt it is better than previous versions.

I wonder why Windows Phone 8.1’s Cortana not coming to India until 2015 ? Why India has this particular restriction ? Any reason ?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Cortona is beta, as of now and she's work fine with US accent.
For Indian accent, she has to grow atleast for an year

I prefer the 8.1 caret to 8's . Different strokes for different folks. I guess.

Speech recognition is signal processing. Accent matters a lot to the final accuracy. Thats why the delay.

Depends on the phone. I'd think the L520 will have to wait atleast a few months - say November or so.

I played it, boring to some extent. I like Asphalt 8: Airborne.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I'm glad to say that ALL of the issues I posted earlier are now non existent and the phone is smoother and faster now. I hope the Nokia-OEM gets an early release!

Same with me , initially I had a whole load of issues but within a week they disappeared for some reason
Any idea when the "bugfix release" will be? It should have come out this week I heard

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

I've faced only battery draining issue which lasted for only 3-4 days. Now everything is butter smooth on my Lumia 520.

Now only 3 things are in my wishlist for Window Phone :
1. File manager (file browser with ability to move, copy, delete files)
2. Reply mail with document (Word, excel, ppt and non recognized file format also) attachment.
3. Share Videos to another mobile (Android, Window phone) through Wifi or Bluetooth

What's your wishlist for next version of Windows Phone (GDR4 or 8.2 or 8.5 whatever they will call) ?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

^ As of now, you can use third party apps to do that. Coz, with 8.1 Microsoft opened up API's to access the SD card contents for devs.
You can try

1. Aerize explorer or
2. Pocket explorer from the store.

you can share videos if they are saved on 'saved pictures' folder and not on videos folder.

Only if the video is within 50MB, i guess..

i did not know that. anyway sharing higher sized videos over bluetooth can be troublesome because of the lower speeds.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

We are getting an official file manager from msoft according to joe belfiore on his AMA. Nice!
It will be available by end of this month. Most probably an update to OneDrive to handle phone memory.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

^ That's a good news; WP8.1 is going to be the worthy rival of Android & iOS.
It's time for a change

Belfiore provided an early look at Microsoft's upcoming file manager app. This is how it will look like....
i hope the smiley on the top-corner refers to Cortona or simply the option to "Customize folder" with custom icon.
