Anyone else out there still using a WP7 device? I'm still under contract with mine for a few more months.

 

I got my HTC Titan back in Feb. 2012 and back then it was amazing to me, now it feels lonely and forgotten, but still does the job. I know I'm missing out on a lot of apps that have made it to WP8 like Pandora and Mint, which I would really like to have.

 

I've come really close to picking up a 520 just to get me through until I can get a fancy upgrade but I've held off so far with my trusty Titan.

Amazon had the 520 on sale SIM-free a few days ago at a low price.  You should see if it's still available because WP8 is really a great upgrade over WP7.

Still using my Nokia Lumia 800 with 7.8 update and going strong. Though the battery life has started to last only a day. Only thing I am holding on is the announcements of WP9 so I can choose the correct upgrade path and not stuck with a device that can't get WP9.

I've started noticing battery issues, sometimes battery saver won't come on at all.

 

One day last week I set my alarm, but by the time I woke up the phone was completely dead, it hadn't switched battery saver on either.

Still on a Lumia 900. I'm not on a contract but I am waiting to see what the WP8.1 phones are like before I upgrade. I would ideally want something like the 1020, but with SD card slot, quad core, 2gb ram, latest graphics.

Sorry, by why are you fretting over graphics on a phone?

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
