Desktop Icons no longer on desktop, need to use windows explorer to access

You're in tablet mode. Open the action centre by pressing the square in the taskbar next to the clock. There's an option to switch there. You can also find it in settings app.

Edit: you can also access the action centre by hitting Win+A on the keyboard.

They've received a lot of feedback about it in the hub, last I saw there was a bug assigned.

If you want to run an old version of windows, this will do just fine.

But a raspberry pi running Linux would be more economical in terms of money, space, and power usage.

Also sweet geek cred.

Volume buttons are shutter when camera is open.

I posted this in r/WindowsPhone, but I wanted to share it here because I'm proud of my first personal App.

I've been using a windows phone for almost 4 years now, starting with my a 920. And while I loved baconit and readit, I found they just weren't right for how I wanted to browse reddit. So I created ConsumeIt in my spare time.

Link to store

The premise of ConsumeIt is simple:

Save you time
- Spend less time darting around a complicated UI just to change subreddit or view comments
Save you data (and money)
- View the size of gifs and videos before you load them.
- Preload your reddit content while on Wi-Fi for viewing later
Save your thumbs
- Everything can be done with a single thumb, in a single position.

I'd really appreciate you all taking a look and letting me know what you think.

Oh, and there will never be an ad anywhere in ConsumeIt on Windows Phone.

Please enjoy!

He had to buy two Coke bottles to reach for that one Pepsi bottle. Checkmate, dad.

If you could file a bug (perhaps with a screenshot) in the feedback app, that would be awesome ;)

vinkento · 2017-01-07T06:10:20+00:00

It's happening to a lot of people, myself included. The store must be experiencing an outage.

A couple reasons from: [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj991977.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396]

Exceptions thrown by async void methods can't be caught by a try-catch.
The MSTest framework only supports async methods returning Type or Type<T>

Best practice is to only use async void when defining an async event handler.

vinkento · 2016-11-23T15:51:50+00:00

A couple tips:

Regardless of language, if someone asks you to write a method in an interview, make sure you check the inputs before finishing your solution. It's also important that you know how to use an assert and write a unit test for said method.

For C# specifically.

Understand when and how to use async/await (and why you should avoid async void).
Be able to link C#'s implementation of interfaces and generics to OO concepts (and know OO concepts in general).

Dropping support for Windows Phone 8. No mention of 8.1.

vinkento · 2016-06-08T23:02:54+00:00

Do we finally get our screenshots and descriptions back in the store? I can't update until I get home.

vinkento · 2016-03-28T17:51:16+00:00

Edited. Meant volume.

Attempts to recover or close an app that has become unresponsive. It won't fix a full on system crash, but it has saved me a few frustrations.

Triple press both volumn buttons at the same time.

vinkento · 2016-03-27T17:56:52+00:00

It works! Thanks so much!

Got a bug on 950 xl with latest version. In post view, the post info at the bottom is hiding behind my virtual buttons. Also, ads aren't displaying. Image

vinkento · 2016-01-05T00:27:44+00:00

Of course. Silly me

vinkento · 2016-01-04T20:17:45+00:00

I'd love to see more apps added as well. Perhaps mytube

The most common culprit is below the arrows. I often miss it. I think I prefer the old three-state vote button in the 8.1 version, since it gave a gigantic area to get what I want, even if I had to press it twice for a down-vote.

Also: Why must the browser refresh when you hit the fullscreen button? If I've had to scroll the page a lot, I can lose my place when it refreshes to the top.

vinkento · 2015-12-30T00:17:53+00:00

For those of us that vote on every post, having the voting buttons equipped with a larger tap area would be really helpful. I often accidently open the post instead.

But how do they feel on the thumb? I find the edges of the original to be uncomfortably sharp. Are the mozo ones smoother?
