From low-end to high-end: Customizable Graphics Settings

From low-end to high-end: Customizable Graphics Settings

| November 24, 2014 | 14 Replies

Advertisements   Dear MNB Readers! 512MB RAM!!! That combination of numbers and letters is usually enough to turn away the most die-hard Windows Phone supporter as that is usually the death sentence to any hope of a high quality gaming experience or even 100% app compatibility. The end result of having a 512MB device is that […]

TIP: Slower charger makes the WP red low-battery indicator flash more slowly

TIP: Slower charger makes the WP red low-battery indicator flash more slowly

| November 24, 2014 | 4 Replies

I didn’t know this feature existed. I knew that when the phone was on, I’d get notifications that my Lumia would charge more slowly because of a slightly incompatible microsUSB charger (a non Nokia – usually the Apple/iPhone or Palm charger – yes I said Palm). By using a Nokia charger or the equivalent MicroUSB […]

Where would WindowsPhone be right now if Microsoft-Nokia and/or buyout deal didn’t happen?

Where would WindowsPhone be right now if Microsoft-Nokia and/or buyout deal didn’t happen?

There’s always a lot of talk about what would happen to Nokia if X/Y/Z did or didn’t happen. But what about the other party involved: Microsoft. What would happen to WindowsPhone if: a) The Nokia-Microsoft deal on February 11th DIDN’T happen b) if post Nokia-Microsoft deal, Nokia decided to go it alone and MS didn’t […]

  When the N1 launched, we did a quick specs comparison here. The N1 competes with the iPad Mini in terms of size, very similar design and specs (with the N1 being significantly less expensive). Below are some comparison photos of rendered images (presumably as the brief hands on at launch did not allow enough […]

Microsoft at Barcelona MWC, March 2-5, 2015 – Could we finally see a new Lumia flagship? 1020/1520 successors?

Microsoft at Barcelona MWC, March 2-5, 2015 – Could we finally see a new Lumia flagship? 1020/1520 successors?

Microsoft’s got a presence at MWC 2015. Pin the dates in your diary: March 2-5, 2015. We didn’t get any Lumia flagships this year and it’s unlikely we’ll get any announcements with December looming. However, it could mean that the 1020 successor as well as the 1520 successor will be unveiled, and all with Windows […]

Rolling Out Soon: Lumia Denim!

In reply to Rohith, Lumia replied that they’ll be rolling out Lumia Denim soon following testing testing and operator approval. Lumia Denim brings the always listening Cortana for the Nokia Lumia 1520 and 930. The latter two will also get 4K recording, hopefully faster camera times too as well as Rich Capture (I think that […]

Samsung sells 40% fewer S5’s than predicted – Could a Nokia Android flagship made a dent into Sammy too?

Samsung sells 40% fewer S5’s than predicted – Could a Nokia Android flagship made a dent into Sammy too?

TheVerge report that Samsung’s flagship Galaxy, the S5, didn’t do as well as predicted, shipping 40% less units than predicted with stock piling up in warehouses. Whilst Samsung have a tight hold over Android, it seems that the likes of HTC and LG kicking things into gear made it harder for people to instantly choose […]

Freezing bug that causes WP, forcing a reset in 925 and 1020?

Freezing bug that causes WP, forcing a reset in 925 and 1020?

| November 24, 2014 | 3 Replies

According to UberGizmo, Microsoft has acknowledged a bug that causes WP8.1 to freeze thus forcing users to reset the phone. I’ve experienced this before on the 1520. The bug I have is where after some time after a reset, Calendar or perhaps a different app like weather, will resume, and resume, and resume and then […]

Why is Nokia’s YouTube uploading the Nokia N1 intro video again and again?

Why is Nokia’s YouTube uploading the Nokia N1 intro video again and again?

| November 24, 2014 | 6 Replies

“Nokia Just Uploaded a Video” says the email alert from YouTube. But upon clicking, it’s the same intro video they’ve posted before. Perhaps there’s a minor change? Possibly so minor no one’s noticed it as the only comments there question why they keep posting the same video. Other uploads (last before this was on Friday) […]
