For those who have been patiently waiting for the release of Mehdoh 2.0, it has passed Marketplace certification, so the wait is almost over. Just tried a forced up and it’s a no go, but maybe a little later today. Can’t blame me for trying. Not that I am disappointed with the current version. Actually … Read more
I have read a number of posts from bloggers explaining about how their WP battery life was vastly improved when they disabled “push” or “as items arrive” email. This appeared strange and contradictory to me, as from what I understand, Microsoft maintains a constant low power connection to every Windows Phone, provided a data connection … Read more
Was checking my data usage so far this month and noticed that AT&T appears to have some really high expectations for users on their grandfathered LTE Unlimited Data Plan. So how exactly do you say 10,238,976 MBs. Oh wait, I looked it up. That would be 10.239 Terabytes. Looks like I have a way to … Read more
Windows Phone Live Tiles are undisputedly one of the most recognized features of this young OS. When WP first launched, the first few apps that added Live Tile support were the rage. Everybody wanted them. There were comments that the (then) 15 Live Tile limit was not nearly enough for all the apps that were … Read more
I added an AT&T/Nokia branded black gel case to my black Lumia 900 the day I picked it up. It’s thin and semi-stiff, but pliable enough to stretch over the L900. It protects the edges of the phone and makes it easier to grip. At $20 it’s no bargain, but what is when you go … Read more
It has been no easy task finding a belt case for my L900. The day I picked up my phone at the local AT&T Store, I tried five different retailers and two phone stores, settling for a single horizontal belt case. And I really dislike horizontal cases. My Internet search has not been much better, … Read more
Sure, all of our WPs come with a built-in calculator. But what if you are trying to figure out mortgage payments, or comparing an auto loan vs. auto lease. Not all of us are blessed with a mathematical brain equal to Rainman, so it’s nice to know that Calculator Toolbox has you covered. The app … Read more
For those of us fortunate enough to have access to an LTE market area, we know how exciting it is to finally be able to download/upload data with ease. The Carriers love it as they can quell the complaints about their slow networks (at least for a while anyway) and have an opportunity to add … Read more
Browsing the Lumia 900 threads over at XDA-Developers last night I picked up a tip that might be of interest. We already know about ##634# which launches the Diagnostics app on your L900. If you haven’t tried it yet you should do it now. It loads a Nokia tool that you can use to check; … Read more
You can apply these comments to any Smartphone, or electronic device for that matter. But as the Lumia 900 is the talk of the town right now, lets stay with that. I have been reading several different forums the past two weeks, picking up tidbits about the L900 and users experiences. Here is a sampling … Read more
