Something that has been bugging myself, as well as many of you, seems to be the fact that Windows Phone automatically displays US Holidays with no obvious way to change it. Well I have found a way, and will split it up into the PC component and the Phone component. Note: This will require a […]

| January 14, 2013 | 43 Replies

Stephen emailed me his UI concept, which blends elements of Harmattan and Sailfish. It looks nice, and makes me want to see more.

Nokia Conversations put up an exciting post titled “PureView: There’s more still to come”, where they have an interview with Juha Alakarhu, the head of imaging at Nokia. He doesn’t give anything away (they never do!) except that they still have things to bring to the market. What could they bring? A blend of 808 and […]

Nokia is aware of “cog wheel” issue plaguing Lumia 920, PR 1.1 supposed fix? Some updated users still suffer

| January 4, 2013 | 51 Replies

Not too sure if the Lumia 920 “cog wheel” issue has ever been posted here, most likely as I don’t think Ali or Jay have encountered it, and since I have the Lumia 820.  If you are not aware, the “cog wheel” issue is caused by the Lumia 920 freezing, and needing to be “unfrozen” […]
