Far to late to save WP8 though. Some of this stuff (I.e. seperate audio and ringer volumes) is utterly basic, base line stuff that should have been in since day 1.

To late? Late yes to late, not a chance. Fastest growing mobile in EU top 5, with over 10% of sales in a fair few EU countries.
With social media comments about wp8 looking up over the last few months

Battery on my Lumia 920 is still going bananas. Not lasting any more than 15 hours compared to 20-24hrs with full BT, Wireless and 3G.

Any previously blocked apps no longer run in background.

Lets hope when firmware and Nokia updates soon helps stop the drain...

Mine is sorted now, emails were set to download dependant of my usage, whatever that means. I've stuck it back to 30 mins, went through the battery saver and disabled a few apps from background running and I'm back to pretty much how I was before.

I can't have glance on tho, that just destroys battery!

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 08:41

My glance is broke.

Inside glance settings there's nothing.

Brenn47 · 25 Apr 2014 at 08:56

Delete the app and reinstall?

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 09:18

Can you even do that with Nokia settings apps.

Brenn47 · 25 Apr 2014 at 09:43

Yeah, just done it.

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 10:35

In that case, how?

Also new update to onedrive, so can now press share on files/photos etc and can upload to one drive.
Must install now as it was taken out of 8.1 so they can update it independtly of the os.

Brenn47 · 25 Apr 2014 at 11:08

Press and hold the app and select uninstall.

Glance isn't an app though, it's just a setting, holding a setting does nothing.

Brenn47 · 25 Apr 2014 at 13:09

The Glance Background app? Yeah it is, it's in the app list.

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 13:25

as in the Nokia glance, that shows time on a locked screen. there is no app for it. It's just found in settings glance

Do you have Cortana?
I've got mine turned on.

godinman · 25 Apr 2014 at 16:56

No Cortana, no.

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 20:08

Odd glance has suddenly started working. However true calendar has died. True calendar updated today, so that explains that one.

Reinstalled true, now both are working, Wahoo another app that has enable translucent. Wonder when Facebook will update, as atm, to have translucent means losing live tile.

Got to say I'm using Cortana to set alarms. As it changes day to day. However I don't like how I have a list of dozens of alarms now. I wish it had one alarm it updated, or be able to name alarms. Find it faster than opening the app and doing it manually.

Lmao, nice screen shot timing on the flip of the tile.

What are people using for music?

All of the apps I've tried are really awful...

Glaucus · 25 Apr 2014 at 22:35

Nokia mixradio. But then Ai don't need anything special. as long as it can randomise the entire collection I'm happy.

Xbox music has an update, incoming "soon"

I think that is where I'm losing most battery, many reported the same thing...

Updated Music, still slow and useless. Changed to Nokia mixradio as it starts up faster and have the exact same interface now. I have over 10 gigs of music and when I add new, now I need to go look for it rather than a 'Recently added' list as before :/
