Meh. I bought conductive gloves instead haha.

I love SkyDrive auto-backup! Keeping that on for sure.

Where'd you get the conductive gloves, and which ones did you get?

I left app list + settings and text message backup on - it's just the photos I turned off. I didn't need every photo I take to be automatically uploaded since about 3/4 of them I ended up deleting. The ones I want to keep, I upload to FB or to the skydrive manually.

I got Agloves when there was a Groupon for it a while back.

They're more for autumn weather, but they're awesome inner layer for mitts.

If you guys have an xbox account and have it linked in there, you should disable that. I found that to be the biggest drainer of battery on my Lumia 710, so I would imagine the same on Win8

Hmm battery on my 920 is the best I have ever had. I'm usually 40-50% when I put it on the charger before bed. Thats like 8am to 10pm.

My Xbox account is linked.

I don't know if it's the case I like or if I'm just distracted by the white 920 missed out on that by just a few weeks.

I think I'm finally going to ditch my iPhone 5 for one of these... Just waiting for work to support WP8 with push email/calendar.

For those who were on iOS before, how hard was it to lose iMessage? I feel like I won't be part of my circle of friends any more

Discovered last night I can put songs on my phone simply by cut/pasting into the Music folder. I was so used to using a tool (ie: iTunes or Zune) I never even considered that

Also something I did this morning drained the hell out of my battery. I went down to ~40%. by 11AM. The only thing that happend out of the ordinary was the phone got warm while playing Pandas vs Ninja's 2. However that was only for a few minutes.

Thanks for taking the photos flipstah !

NP. How does it work if I want to do playlists? My WMP is being a bitch and not syncing properly.

I just tried to see if I can edit my playlist and i can't seem to add them to my existing playlist (I can add those songs to a new playlist). I'll check later to see if there's anything I can do.

Got my case in on Monday. Looks really good and fitment is good.

The problem I have now is this: Screen goes black

Tried the above several times and no fix. Apparently this is a fairly widespread issue. Looks like I'll have to take it in and probably be without a phone for a while, which will suck since there are no land-lines at work.

[flipstah]

Can you explain how it happens? Never experienced it *knock on wood*

Hampstor, did you figure out the playlist dilemma by any chance?

Also, BT receivers from Monoprice came in and they're great!

Now I can be a lazy fuck

Got my red Nokia case. Soo good, makes it look like I have red 920.

ZEDGE, how's the grip? Is it smooth or is there texture so it somewhat prevents slippage?

Its not super grippy, but a bit better than the bare phone.

I want a red one so bad!!

As soon as I would make a call, the screen goes black and I couldn't get it back on to terminate a call or press numbers. Pushing the power/lock key would only bring up the call screen for a split second and then go black again. I ended up leaving a long message at home of me taking out my frustration on the phone.

So, I had noticed that this happened only after I had put the case on. So I thought maybe a but was getting depressed. Yet, normal browsing of the phone outside of a call worked normally. I took it out of the case anyway and tried. Screen still went black.

Right after I posted the issue here yesterday, I still thought it must have something to do with the case since that was when it started. The case came with a real crappy screen protector. It would adhere around the edges, especially the bottom. Since I had had enough of it, I thought I may as well take it off since that was the only other thing besides the actual case.

I should have tried calling right away but I first did the procedure in the previous link I posted. Sure enough, it works normally now.

I sure hope that will not be the case will all screen protectors but that one was pretty horrible. I'm hoping Zagg comes out with an HD one and I'll give that a go.

I definitely want this red case...sorry did someone already post where it was from? Nokia directly?

[flipstah]

What a weird issue, duaner!

Mine is just how the Music app automatically softens its' volume. BAH! Fix yo shiet, Microsoft.
