[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitchcity:
I missed that option before but you are right - it is there under "custom kernel settings". I added Cyandelta to the path (no forward slash) and grabbed the latest kernel nightly and it seemed to download to the right place! Awesome!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitchcity:
Here is another quick (and easy) question: Now that I have CyanDelta all set-up, do I really need to reflash gapps alongside every CM nightly?

Right now, when CyanDelta updates, it flashes: the latest incremental update to CM, then the 12-12-12 gapps, then fracno's kernel. Does that sound right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandalousk:
Sounds good, but you don't necessarily have to re-flash gapps every time. The apps will stay on the phone when you flash a new nightly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitchcity:
Thanks, that is what I thought. Is there any rule of thumb about when gapps does need to be reflashed? Is it only when it gets updated and one would want the latest version?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Reflash gapps if you came from a fresh rom install. Just flash the latest gapps zip available. If the apps are not updated you will just have to update it through playstore same as any other app updates.

Some the basic features missing in windows 8 os for phones which are as follows

1. No option to view your sd card files ( this is a big let back)

2. In dial pad you cant get the number directly by just typing in the name in dial pad itself (though you can download app for this but it is expected to be a default thing)

3. If you are an ebook savvy person then my friend you will have to put your all ebooks to skydrive because none of the apps available will read from your sd card.

4. In wifi settings you dont have the advance settings to have your own static ip.

5. No control over the gps, will keep draining your battery

6. Only one kind of screen lock facility available( password) more options are expected

though the phone I use(LUMIA 820) is great , but these are some basic stuff which sometimes makes me think have I made the right choice about the phone.

NOTE---> I know I am being harsh as w8 is still new and I might not be correct of few of the things which already might have been resolved . Please keep updating this thread If you face any kind of similar problem.
[Windows Phone 8 General] miodrage:
5. No control over the gps, will keep draining your battery Can't u turn Location OFF? I can in my Lumia920...

What I would implement is the ability to change colors of every tile independently of another. Then, there could be an option if there is a missed call, unread message etc. that the tiles change color.

One of the features I miss really badly from my iPhone is the custom notification and messages sounds, and the ability to insert a specific message tone for a specific sender. That way I knew just by the sounds what is happening, and is it something urgent.
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
the message tile wouldnt change colour but it does some behaviour like , if u have a new message your message icon will be a wink..;)....if you have more unread messages then it will be sad:(...

and about "the ability to insert message tone for specific sender" you are talking about message tone only or the ringtone??
[Windows Phone 8 General] miodrage:
I havent seen those faces u r talking about, just the plane number. Pretty satisfied with that too, but I always want more.

I meant a specific message tone for different senders, like I had on the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
yea i checked it out , their is only ringtone option for a specific contact nothing for messages.......
[Windows Phone 8 General] miodrage:
Well, I do know what I am talking about.

And that is one hell of a feature I am missing in WP8.

Now, another thing that annoys me, is there any possible way to turn off Skype? Because, when I am on my computer, and chatting with some1, the phone keeps popping up notifications about new Skype messages. Also, I had a call earlier today thru Skype, and in the middle of the talk, the phone started ringing (that particular Skype call), and the call was already established.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Dr.Paul:
Notification centre like iphone, a do not disturb mode, stopwatch and timer in the clock app, T9 dialling, HDR and panorama modes in camera app, reliable push notifications, option to auto download images in email app (how hard can it be?), DAV support, folder tiles ....
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
yup exactly........bout that wifi settings i think i found out a thing, we can edit options lik ip address only when connected to a specific wifi network, i was able to see the settings but i am not sure if are able to edit it..some problem with my damn router m not able to connect my phone at this tym, You guys try n keep me posted
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
checked it....we are not allowed to edit wifi settings.......::(

WP8 Cannot Play WAV files.

That's a pretty big missing feature, not being able to play WAV files.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Gopena:
My Main gripe? Haptics.

Seriously, I don't know if someone's got the patent on this (google? Motorola?) but my biggest peeve is that the input methods only have audio feedback. Now don't get me wrong, the sfx used for the keyboard does an amazing job of making the keyboard seem physical, but as of now it's really the only thing I want. And how do you turn off sounds for the dialpad?
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
yup exactly mann...dnt know i forgot to mention that one.....seems like microsoft has long way to go , they are not calling the new windows phones as breakthrough phones as android phones were when they were launched and one more thing guys.....if any body has lumia 820 like me then be carefull buddy coz ur phone doesnt has GORILLA SCREEN!!!!!!!!................yep nokia missed that on this one, confirmed it from croning gorilla glass website........
[Windows Phone 8 General] tazfanatic:
You can't customize notifications as well. This missing feature is killing me I have my pager forward to my phone and the stock notifications suck! Yes some people still have pagers.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Thresher:
I guess basic to MS is different than basic to you or me, haha.

I don't understand why you need this with the system so locked down these days...

I used to think this was a huge issue. Pin favorites to your start. Use the people tile and voice dial. While I too expect it to be built in, using a third party app actually is as simple as usin gthe dialpad, it may be one or two touches fewer.

I don't understand this. Maybe I am too into WP7 and forgetful of how I used to use an SD card as easy, multi device storage. If your 820 treats the SD as expanded storage, than the ebook app you use to download the ebook will store it where it wants.

Find out the MAC address of your Windows Phone 8 device and then set up a DHCP reservation at a particular IP for that MAC address in your router.

Turn off location.

I can't comment as the current routine seems to work for me.

I would agree with you from your point of view. From my point of view, you just need to adapt a bit to the new system and you should have bought the 920 because QI charging is the freaking bomb!

Not sure how my tone appears, not trying to be a ****!
[Windows Phone 8 General] parkerneo:
k dude how to setup that reservation thingy and 820 also has QI charging......differences b/w 820/920 are camera, screen resolution/size, internal storage,gorilla screen, rest Is mostly same
[Windows Phone 8 General] yohannrjm:
The only thing I really miss is separate volume controls for media, games etc.
[Windows Phone 8 General] cubitusclaudius:
W8 on Lumia 920 is really great.

There are a couple of features i miss a lot :

- No access to images details (localization, image size, shutter speed etc...)

- On Android I used to set a long duration ring-tone for appointments, otherwise I forget to check my appointments. No access her to those settings.

But I repeat, W8 phones are fantastic. On many points of view much more practical than Android
[Windows Phone 8 General] Thresher:
Google instructions for your specific router. This will get you started: http://lifehacker.com/5822605/how-t...o-you-never-have-to-check-an-ip-address-again

Don't you need a specific case for that?[/QUOTE]
[Windows Phone 8 General] StevieBallz:
As for opening ePub files from the SD card: that is up to the App developers. WP8 does allow Apps to read files from the SD card. It's not allowing them to write there though.

Sound scheduling

Really missing the ability to schedule sounds, i.e. turn off everything (sounds, not the phone) during nighttime. Someone told me that the API's does not support setting audio properties! Is that really possible?
[Windows Phone 8 General] Manni09:
Don't know if its already written.

I'm missing function to take panorama pics. I'm using Photosynth from Microsoft, but its not the best..
[Windows Phone 8 General] cubitusclaudius:
If you want simple panoramic, just use Nokia's apk it's called "Panorama" and works really fine
[Windows Phone 8 General] buffalosolja42:

and all formats of videos cannot be played in WP8

features i lack and issues i have:

- time and date sync correctly using both network and WiFi

- more keyboard settings like haptive feedback

- more good apps (meh)

- can't install some apps from my location like Nokia Audio, app don't show in store and even if it does, there's no install button ... is it my fault to live where Nokia or Microsoft don't like???

- can't control rotation

- random sync failure issues
[Windows Phone 8 General] backlyt:
Just got the HTC 8S, lots of history with iOS and android

What I like is that even though its a low end phone, everything is fast and snappy, unlike my quad core android...

I love tht all my social networks place nice together and are all in one place

Reliable push notifications is a big deal

Syncing music from my Mac to the sd card is a huge miss
[Windows Phone 8 General] Thresher:
Good review!
[Windows Phone 8 General] toza:
Hey, newsflash: MS doesn't adapt the OS to user needs, rather it forces users to adapt to it... That's it... Nothing more, nothing less...

Even WP7 had these "problems/issues", and now WP8 has them too. Really don't know if WP9 will be any different.

To all mobile users: Know what you're buying before you do so, and when you buy it, live with it...

If you can't live with it, then switch, but be familiar with what the other OS brings and takes away! ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] dimdimdimdim:
That's why MS cannot surpass Google and Apple.

People already familiar with those basic features, and it seems a must to have them in WP8.

To get more buyer, we must know exactly what they need, and deliver the best service for customer satisfaction.

That's the way to do a good business.

MS is not trend setter now, it's not a good choice if their design philosophy is force users to adapt to WP8.

I'm using Android, BB, and WP8. They all great. Except some limitations of WP8 which is not smart enough in a smartphone.

Cmiiw
[Windows Phone 8 General] sireangelus:
they are listening. But i think that all the delays in providing the updates are due to the fact that you have to upgrade the os and include new functionality, but they need to keep it small; on 512mb phones they still have to guarantee 180mb for apps, and i think they are putting in a lot of emphasis on keeping the main selling point of wp8 vs android(smooth and fast) even on smaller devices. Not to mention that on windows phone 8.1 there will be massive changes under the hood regarding the whole system(wp8 is a port on NT of the wp7 interface/APIs with some functionality added. The true wp8, will be the wp8.1, in terms of features and everything else. Think how much they must have been constrained in terms of thread management in the old wp7 code and think how much of that code was ported over nt without much changing.)
[Windows Phone 8 General] sinister1:
The link below takes you to a real list of things that real users say are missing and want. From the looks of things it does look like MS is listening to their marketing department rather to the actual people who take the time to go to their stupid suggestion site. Just take a look, the numbers don't lie.:mad:

[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=4409964]sireangelus[/MENTION]: I'm not sure where you got the idea that WP8.0 re-uses the WP7 user-space code, but that's pretty blatantly false in at least several major ways (such as the fact that the core libraries and many of the APIs are different). I'll grant that there was definitely some stuff brought in from the CE core of WP7 and bolted into NT - there's a library for accessing the embedded database file format that recent versions of CE (including WP7) support, for example - but a lot of other stuff was changed dramatically under the covers. I suspect that by far, the biggest hardship in terms of adding new features to WP8 was not the constraints of the WP7 code, but the need to re-write most of it!

With that said, it's true that WP8.1 should be a really big update. It's also arguably overdue, and "should" does not mean "will be"; I expect it to be "big" on the level of Mango (WP7.5) where GDR2 is roughly analogous to NoDo (WP7.1), but really, how much is that actually saying?

Also, what do we know about what WP8.1 will bring? Not much so far. IE11 (a welcome update, although hopefully they don't **** up the UI the way they did going from IE7 to IE9 with Mango) and we'll see how many actual features come along with it. 6-column (small tile columns, that is) on the Start screen, for sufficiently large phones; cool but hardly something that will be seen as a massive OS update. Same for 1080p screens, assuming that one pans out. Beyond that... um. I'm sure there are others. There's been *talk* of a notification center, but nothing I'd call definitive. Support for S/MIME email was talked about, but most people don't even know what that is (as a side note, doing PGP email on the phone, while mostly possible, is a huge pain in the ass right now). VPN support... we'll see how extensive. Erm. I'm sure there's a lot more, but MS has been holding their cards pretty close to their chest here.

Mind you, I'm not asking that they spill the beans on all the changes right now... unless they're about ready to release the update (which, since GDR3 isn't even out yet, they aren't). I would appreciate them getting a move on it, though. Oh, and this time, don't waste a bunch of dev and test time (plus customer goodwill) by implementing the next rendition of interop-lock. The lockdown in this OS is already flat-out costing you customers - see how many people ask for things like a file browser, which could easily exist except for the lockdown - and piling additional restrictions on there isn't going to do anything except piss off even more people while taking time away from making actual improvements to the OS.
[Windows Phone 8 General] sireangelus:
well i said they ported wp7 on nt. Might mean that they kept as much code as possible from the old and rewrote the rest mantaing api compatibility. Even more my case of the effort it took and why there were little to none new features introduced with the kernel change manoeuvre and why wp8.1 will be a host of massive changes. There are already a lot of changes on windows 8.1(with 8gb of ram, apps do not close even with the relative command, for example, they go in a deep sleep mode with no data loaded until the ram is needed)
