WP 3 column for 4.5″ screens and over; WP8.1 app install to card requires class 6 and above

| March 31, 2014 | 7 Replies

Advertisements There’s a bit more info on the SD card app installation front for WP8.1. A minimum of Class 6 SDHC is now required. If it isn’t supported, the phone stores apps to the on board phone memory. There’s no max/upper speed limit, which at least in my experience was needed for Nokia Camera recorded […]

Nokia Refocus vs Duo Camera – Nokia Lumia 925 vs HTC One M8

| March 29, 2014 | 7 Replies

Since Nokia has been showing off Nokia Refocus on its Lumia series, we’ve seen others attempt to do the same. HTC has gone the route that Nokia would eventually come to when their 16 piece camera system is ready, but with their Duo camera system.

| March 28, 2014 | 6 Replies

  When we first saw that WP8.1 was potentially bringing tiled images, I thought it was a nice option to have but was not that interested. I mean, I thought it would be just like the apps on WP that changes the tiles in such a way already. What happens when you move or resize […]

    Amber, Lumia black and now the next Nokia firmware maybe called Lumia Cherry Pink Blossom. http://blog.sina.cn/dpool/blog/s/blog_4f9fc6740101una3.html There are some screenshots available though it’s difficult to ascertain the changes specific to Nokia’s firmware (moreover as it’s not in English so I can’t read that).
