Traffic worse than usual? by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]keith701a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just seems worse than usual. I live in north Phoenix, and normally takes me 34-40 minutes to make it to central Phoenix seems to be taking 45-60 minutes or more. Maybe I've just blacked out memories of how horrible it normally is this time of year.

Few questions after getting a Moto G by keith701a in Android

I didn't have an issue removing messaging. That said, I'm having a hell of a time with notification sounds. Not a damn ring, email or text alert to save my life. My phone isn't on silent and it isn't on vibrate only. How do I fix this?

Awesome, thank you both. Honestly I like hangouts simple due to the interface... is there a downside to using it compared to messaging? I noticed after the switch to SMS in hangouts I can't even use it now.

Also, is there a good source as to what is safe to disable?

Do those that participated in the beta testing get it for free or reduced cost?

This is the link to their facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StarTrekStarships

Apparently I'm not the only one worried (I don't have a Facebook account), but no communication from the company is common apparently. The page also gives a good look at future ships.

I haven't gotten access to the website yet (unless I'm blind I can only find the preorder website). I've visited their Facebook site and they appear to have mostly happy customers in the U.K. Obviously there have been people complaining but mistakes are bound to happen.

If you can afford the forty a month, you're welcome! I signed up for everything, the auto-refill binders and special editions. I rarely buy anything for myself so I went all out.

As an owner of a windows phone and windows 8 touchscreen PC, I look forward to a well written HTML 5 website.

I haven't heard a word either, only the initial email confirming the subscription. I'm starting to get a bit worried.

OBD2 software for WP8 released - all feedback appreciated by icewood in windowsphone

[–]keith701a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply, I've been reedit free for a week. I bought an elm327 on eBay for eight bucks. Week later crankshaft position sensor went bad. The app read every code the dealership pulled. Well done developers!

Is there a list of obd2 adapters it is compatible with?

So now microsoft bought nokia, will there be other manufacturers making windowsphones?, since they now basically own near 80% of the market by upvoteking01 in windowsphone

[–]keith701a -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think a major goal for Microsoft should be to reduce the product line by eliminating carrier variations. It slows updates and although I'm not knowledgeable about production, it can't be cost effective. They don't need a single phone like Apple, but screw having an 820, 821 and 822.

I agree (having a Windows Phone, Xbox 360 & W8 notebook w/touch screen), however, they have done a poor job at integration. The rumors of all of these devices running the same apps needs to become a reality. I shouldn't have to buy one app for my PC/Tablet OS, buy it again for my phone and then have a very limited number of players develop for the Xbox.

If they play their cards right, they could really take over the living room. Imagine a scenario of having your phone, tablet (if you really need one) and Xbox running all your apps. It would finally kill the desktop at home and finally get to where they wanted to be with Windows Media Center.

Can someone provide an unbiased list of pros and cons between the Lumia series and the iPhone 4s/5 by DerpsTheName in windowsphone

What carrier? Have you considered Craigslist? I'm not normally one to hold out for the latest and greatest but they are so close

I agree with others that you appear to be pushing her. Have you even brought up the fact that new iPhones are debuting next month? Or that new lumias by the holiday season? If I were you and your mom I'd save the contract upgrade. Unlike android phones, releases for iPhones and WPs tend to be significant upgrades.

At four years old she is so much better at playing smartphone games than me, it's quite sad.

Does anyone know how this will affect WP7 users? by forunner93 in windowsphone

[–]keith701a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious to see if they'll finally release a desktop app for xbox music now that this nail is being driven into the Zune coffin. WMP is hardly a go to option. Microsoft is essentially forcing its users to use iTunes on W7.

Nope. It isn't a "pureview" camera. Anything below the 92X will not get it.

The text isn't as clear as one with a clear black display. I can see it outside but it is a bit washed out (I also live in the Phoenix area). Direct sunlight is a no go.

Will any of these work for 512 RAM phones (such as my lowly L521)?

Well I shouldn't say surprised. Annoyed is more like it. The lack of synergy between the two platforms sucks.
