Just started messing with WP8.1 on my Lumia 625

 

Must get a phone with a higher res screen :cry:

 

Edit: changed start screen background to match the lock screen, looks much better.

 

Something needs to be done about those skype and onenote icons though :/

 

I use Hot Tiles! to make them transparent  ;) .

My ATIV S running WP8.1 GDR1, living in the UK and finally being able to use Cortana is awesome.

I went back to Windows Phone for a time. It's way better than when I last left it at Windows Phone 7.8.

 

I got the Lumia 1520 (Hulk Green) and I love it. A bit too big, but with my eyes starting to age, the bigger screen helps. One of the things that bothered me about this upgrade experience is that, like, I understand that a lot of people don't want a Windows Phone, so that's why the stores don't carry any, well the 1520 that I know of, in stock (even though it's featured on a large display near the front door). But if you do want a Windows Phone, they asked if you've even had one, and if you say no, they try to sell you on something else. If you go through with the deal, it's "Oh, we don't have it in stock. We'll mail it to you!"

 

But I want it nowwwww.

Design wise, I'm really not happy with Windows Phones new folders.

While they add much needed functionality, they make the start screen much more cluttered.

If we could designate one icon, or the live tile from one app, to be the main/only thing shown for each folder, it could be a lot cleaner, and less resource intensive.

I don't even want to post a screenshot, it's a ####### mess :/

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
