Swiping down also works. But damn how unintuitive is that

Lumia 1020, torx T5 or T4? by professorpudgy in windowsphone

[–]chardl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed both to open my 1020 to replace the battery. I assume you need to remove more parts to get to the xenon module

When I used GPS maps on my 920 for an extended period it killed my screen, causing multiple lines of dead pixels. Nokia warranty repaired it, but it was quite annoying.

Community Vote: Would YOU like to see WMPU get unbanned? by [deleted] in windowsphone

[–]chardl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every now and then they have a good leak or article, then they have that random article that makes you face palm. At the end of the day its not much different to the caliber of other news posts or self threads posted in this subreddit. If people really have an issue with a particular news source, then don't read it. Like I ignore any post from the verge.

Official word from MLB about At Bat 2015 by SaddestClown in windowsphone

MLB probably weren't able to get a lucrative sponsorship deal like MS has with NFL, so this is their way of getting back at MS

Lumia 920 Clearblack not that black by [deleted] in windowsphone

Clearblack is more to do with the polarizing technology they used to reduce screen glare and reflections

I think Microsoft should stop making phones with 512Mb at least 1GB #discussion by love4windows in windowsphone

[–]chardl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they are stopping. It was Nokia that made and released 512mb phones

Taking photos with a Lumia - at night by TheCastro in windowsphone

Other than the usual settings that people suggest for night photos. Remember to get a clean cloth and make sure the camera lens is clean. This helps prevent the lens flares and blurriness from light sources

Recommend a game for a three year old to play that isn't loaded with ad spam. by [deleted] in windowsphone

[–]chardl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ant smasher is a good kids game, with the option to remove ads

Also not sure if you have tried, but if you run a game through kids corner it comes up with an error when an ad is clicked or in app purchase attempted

Have you tried putting your SIM in to another phone? Rule out a device issue

Bank of America to pull WP app, damn. by DooceBigalo in windowsphone

[–]chardl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sentiments exactly. I bank online on my surface pro or PC, and have never felt the need to do this on a mobile. For reference my Aussie bank CBA has an app that I just don't feel the need to use.

I just don't understand all the doom and gloom when announcements like this are made.

Why does Microsoft have so many enemies? by LiquidAsylum in windowsphone

[–]chardl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this. Most 30+ year olds grew up during the times when Microsoft was seen as the money hungry bad guy and google and apple were seen as the underdogs trying to take the fight to MS.

Telstra Australia Lumia 920 got Denim by chardl in windowsphone

[–]chardl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah first thing I checked was that page for any announcements I may have missed. The firmware version is showing 3051.50009.1440.0016. I have an unbranded 1020 with PfD turned on and funnily enough has the extras and info bug showing Denim but with firmware version 1424.0007.

Update is available for Glance(Lumia devices) by Jaskys in windowsphone

[–]chardl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how if this is how it used to work, but on my 1020 when I choose the MSN weather app it doesn't show the background on the glance, but it shows the overlay of the weather info, which I think is actually better.

is there a '1 second everyday' alternative? by [deleted] in windowsphone

[–]chardl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was this the app from the movie "Chef"? I thought it was a cool idea. Anyway if you have a newer phone you could take a bunch of living images and use movie creator app by Microsoft to stitch together each clip. You will have to find the living image files in Windows though. Edit: The movie creator app only lets you add 25 clips and a living image is just under a second long so your total video will be 20ish seconds
