I’m trying out Android on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4; what I’ll miss from Nokia Lumia 1520

Advertisements A couple of weeks ago we had a discussion about people’s contract renewal plans (autumn seems to be a popular time due to product cycles) and I discussed some of the reasons why I was considering Android. It isn’t a clear cut “I’m leaving Windows Phone or switching”. mynokiablog.com/2014/11/12/contract-renewal-time-are-you-sticking-with-windowsphone/ Here’s why: 1) My contract […]

GTA NOKIA HERE Maps: VideoGame designer brings immersive real 3D environments to HERE Maps

A cool article over at Nokia’s HERE 360 blogs talks about the construction of 3D maps through the eyes of a video game designer. When we talk about a 3D open world game set in real cities, the first thing that came to my mind was Grand Theft Auto. As it turns out, Michael Limberat […]

Ali, Michael and I have had the pleasure of discussing Nokia’s Meltemi plans with a once Nokia employee on the Meltemi team. They’ve shared a wealth of information with us which we’ll be publishing over a series of posts so the amount of text won’t be too overwhelming. Thank you very much again for taking […]

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

  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 you […]

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

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?

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 […]

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 […]
