What? Dude, my sources are super reliable. I nailed the Nokia World announcements.

My update isn't due until May of next year. Delay Apollo to spring 2012, MS! Do it for me! I can't bear to see a windows phone superdevice this fall, it would break my heart

I think the IMDB app did this for me, when it was running as backgrund service. You can try disabling some background apps and see if that helps...

This didn't work

any other suggestions would be handy. Last thing I want to do is walk into Vodafone tomorrow and swap my Lumia for something else.

Same thing happened to me right after updating it to the latest version. And from my findings, 3G seems to be the culprit. I am sticking with 2G till they fix this shite of a firmware.

I wonder if WP8 or sometime beyond will be anything like it.

With projects like WoA and Windows on the go, Microsoft could implement something like that for WP.

That's what I'm expecting from W8 in mobile devices.

Swap it for another Lumia again. Chalk it up to bad luck, since there is absolutely no way that problem is universal for all lumia 800's.

Hmm, interesting. My SIM card is four years one old that I cut myself to micro SIM size, maybe the connection can be faulty at times. But on the other hand, my phone hasn't reseted after Sunday, when I edited IMDB app settings...

Sounds like they all liked it for the most part, lack of apps being the one main problem.

Windows Phone works like a computer. BlackBerry works like a rusty lever-pull apparatus.

I kinda get stuff like Flipboard, Pandora and Instagram. Being upset at the lack of HBO-Go, however, baffles me. But yes, by and large I can't wait for people to stop accepting apps as a good way to do things.

Please reassure me they will eventually realize =(

I'd use HBO go moe than the others. I don't need Pandora as zune pass is superior (although has a monthly cost )

The OS needs more apps , the important ones are getting filled in but people love to download stupid apps and play with them once or twice and never use them again and MS needs that. But that will happen when windows 8 drops

Remember, it is in Barcelona. That's Spain. Some of you need to be ready to be up late/early.

I suggest you start conditioning your sleep patterns now.

Can some tell me what time it will start in toronto. My phone craps out when viewing that web page.

JaggedSac · Feb 23, 2012

Wonder what changes they will make to Wordament, the free version is quite nice already. Would need some good justification to pay for it.

Anybody have any solid news on the neogaf app? I don't have a dev license but I can run homebrew on my phone to do some testing. I'm a bit of a dev myself so if any help is needed I can help out as well.

Could be free as well. I have a few free live games. Biggest bonus would be the social aspect of Xbox Live instead of 'fenemies.'

Here's to hoping it's cross platform with a Windows 8 consumer preview version.

agreed... I would love to have it use my gamertag. Had it on my first phone but after the mango upgrade (and me having to revert to remove the mango beta) I had to get a new tag as there is no way to recover an old one. Achievements will also be nice if it includes those too.

Is there a good news app with a working live tile? The unofficial BBC app is GREAT and the live tile gets me to access the app to read the latest...but I'm American and don't really care for national UK news.

Try unpinning and pinning back. The red dot is either notifications, PM's etc. but sometimes it gets "stuck".

Wait, why could you not recover you gamertag? It's tie to your Live account (or at least on mine) and if you put that in your tag should just show up.

Wordament doesn't use your gamertag. It's not a Live game.
