[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I can't speak to MetroPCS as a carrier, but the 640 is a great phone for its price. The biggest problem with it is the same problem every WP device will have - there aren't as many apps available for the platform as there are for Android and iOS (although there are a bunch nonetheless, and more every day) - but the phone itself is quite good unless you need high-end specs for some reason. The OS runs very smoothly on it. Also, it's upgradable to Windows 10 Mobile (yes, Microsoft changed the branding on their phone OS *again*...), so you've got a reasonably future-proof design and it'll even be able to run at least some Android apps in the future.

Play Apps?

Where are these claims about Android apps to WP coming from? Isn't it still a rumour?

I can't seem to find any official substanciated news about this...

As I understand it MS currently have two problems regarding the app-gap;

1) if they open WP to Play-apps, then they risk losing interest from dev's to continue making apps specifically to WP, making WP more or less another version of Android.

2) making dev's keen on making apps for a third platform, which isn't futureproof yet (even tho it's been around for long enough). This "solution" will make WP it's own and keep MS in the mobilemarket as an real and actual alternative to the established platforms.

What is sure and what are rumours?

They will not enable android apps to run directly on the phone like in an emulator, they developed a tool so android developers can recompile their existing app code so it can be used in windows, see the video below.

I'm really looking forward to making the switch from Android. I've always been a Windows PC enthusiast, and Windows 10 is shaping up nicely.

So, a phone to match will be nice. As for apps for phones, I hardly use any nowadays.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorldGamer:
The biggest disadvantage of WP is the low market share of under 10% .

This means that most of the useful apps or games will not be available to WP.

But if as you say you dont use apps and you like the windows style you should go for it!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=2814006]fencepost[/MENTION]: Good list of stuff, there. I don't really have a good solution to much of it - I mean, Microsoft has alternatives to a lot of Google's stuff, but they are mutually incompatible so everybody you hang out with would need to switch too - but those are some good problems to list. The problem with WiFi calling is probably a T-Mobile bug, sadly; I don't have it myself but WiFi Calling on WP8.x isn't really as good as it could be. My biggest personal complaint with WiFi is that the OS is too damn desperate to stay on (unusably weak) WiFi signals even when it has cellular data; if I'm actively using my phone when I leave the apartment (for example, checking a bus schedule) it's faster to manually disable WiFi than to rely on the phone to notice that the WiFi signal is much too weak to use and fail over to cellular. Ideally I'd be able to tell the phone to use cellular by *default* and only use WiFi for stuff that it can't get ont he WAN (LAN servers, etc.), but the OS wasn't really designed to provide an optimal experience for people with unlimited data plans.

The custom keyboard thing may be fixable soon - at least, I really hope so - but for now it is indeed a problem. WP8.1 has the best *built-in* keyboard of the three leading mobile OSes, IMO, but it's not better than all the Android options.

As for a text editor, I generally avoid writing anything longer than notes or minor document edits (or emails, but usually only plain text) on the phone, so I haven't really looked. You might be able to use SSH or Remote Desktop, though; there's a number of decent apps for each (including a MS-authored one for RDP) and with unlimited data they should work. You may even find them more useful than a local editor. It might be worth setting up a Remote App server (so you'd *just* get an editor, rather than a whole desktop) for this.

OpenVPN *should* be possible to port, but it needs a driver (TUN/TAP) and MS would need to approve or provide that even more than they would need to approve a new VPN app (which I think requires a capability not normally available to third-party devs). I'm tempted to say that they really *should* allow it, but I'm also painfully aware that OpenVPN on Windows (and, possibly, other platforms) is sort of crap. I can usually beat it into submission on a machine where I have admin, but on a phone it could simply just sit there being unusable until the phone gets rebooted or something.

WP8 in general seems to have a lower risk of scam apps than Android, but it's definitely a good idea to look into any password keeper utility's trustworthiness.

EDIT: As for browsers, as far as I know there's not actually any rule against third-party browsers. Opera Mini does exist for WP8, which is cool, but so far as I know nobody has ported a Gecko or WebKit/Blink-based browser. Ideally, somebody should fix this, although getting them to work within WP8's application model might mean rebuilding a lot of the browser as well as just porting the rendering engine.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
I read an article on Flipboard some while ago that MS had ditched it because of Lack of security in Open-source and it wouldnt work directly from the file system.. only if they sideloaded Android apps. Why do we want android apps anyway.. It removes the love of WP. MS need to invest more money in their WP store to entice new devs.

Let ms make a toolkit for the android devs

A toolkit to one click port it to MS ecosystem

Then the threshold to port it would be lower and a real mony maker for the devs
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalbuddhist:
I don't want Android apps as such, but Android and IOS devs in the wp game.

I've had a lot of Apple and Andy devices the last eight years and have grown to like the variety of developers and want they put out for us.

WP is a good ecosystem, but the app gap is way bigger than I expected. There are just to many everyday apps I had on my other phones, which I cannot get in WP (yet).

I feel like I've walked into a grossery store and most of the shelfes are empty... I have to buy my oj and milk in another store, simply because MS can't get those dev's on board.

...And that's just a crying shame.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p38fln:
The 640 has a baked in WiFi calling feature rather than a separate app like almost every other Lumia device. I think it may be the only Lumia to have Wi-Fi calling baked into the SIM settings rather than running as a separate app.

Be careful if you are using any Google apps with it - Google is scared of Windows phone and they are doing everything they can to prevent app development. Any app they have taken over will never see another Windows phone release, and they are kind of crazy about it. For example Microsoft made their own YouTube app because Google wouldn't ,Google forced them to take it down. Now the YouTube app on the WP is just a link to YouTube - not because no one wants to make one for WP, but because Google won't let anyone make one.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I should add though - I have the 640 and it's awesome, extremely fast, well built, solid screen, expandable SD card slot, decent cameras for a phone and an ok flash. It's also neat the way the apps tie together with your windows 10 computer

First of all, please post stuff like this in the Apps & Games sub-forum (http://xdaforums.com/windows-phone-8/apps-games), not in General; General is for discussing the OS as a whole.

Second, what is the difference between the trial and the paid version of the app? Unless the trial is fully-featured, you're probably breaking the forum rules (you *did* read them before posting, riiiight?) as advertising paid apps is explicitly forbidden.

Hi guys,

I had the idea of a timelaps (with post production) in 4K with stock camera app (of Cyanogen OS) and ColorOS camera app porting (I have to admit that it's fantastic).

So yesterday I started recording for 10 minutes with both apps but both apps stopped recording after 8 minutes (stock app) and 5 minutes (ColorOS app): I checked the files and both are 3,8GB.

So I tried to create a file of 4GB and it's impossibile.

What's the problem?

Was the memory of the One formatted with FAT32 :D ?

Is it possible delete this limit?

Thanks.

Bye!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyGik:
Internal Storage is ext4 with file size limit of ~16TB. The 4GB thing is probably implemented in the software.You can just write a camera app and check it by increasing the file size limit. It is basically a simple intent value which you need to set. MediaStore.EXTRA_SIZE_LIMIT
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupoalberto12:
I found this topic and you're right.

I'll try another camera app.

Thanks.

Unfortunately it's a limit on OS: even with "Cinema FV-5" app the file cannot be more of 3,8GB.

Fortunately "Cinema FV-5" splits the video in more files.

This topic can be closed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] venery:
Simply meaningless!!

Skype is surely aware of the problem. Although they are still using pictures of skype running on TYTN on website, they have the following explanation in knowledge base. I think a guy from samsung did stg bad to someone from skype:) I can't think of a rational explanation for this situation. Supporting a processor in a beta release (which works smoothly) and realizing that it did actually not support that processor in the next release, Bull****.

From Sype:

"If you have a device with ARM 9 v4 Processor for example: 32bit Samsung: S3C2410, SC32442 and S3C2440, or IntelStrong ARM SA-1110, then calling is not supported by Skype for Windows Mobile in the 2.2 Gold Release. However, you will still be able to use chat to keep in touch with your contacts.

Below is a list of devices that only support chat. Note that this list is not complete as new devices are released all the time. All devices identical in construction to the ones below will support chat functionality:

• E-TEN Glofiish X500

• E-TEN InfoTouch M500

• E-TEN InfoTouch M600

• E-TEN M700

• Hewlett-Packard iPAQ rx5900 Series

• Hewlett-Packard rx4000 Series

• Hewlett-Packard iPAQ rx3700 Series

• HTC TyTN

An explanation to why skype does not support V4

Quotation from skype forum from user Touche

"This is my 5 cents: If you look at the About dialog on the Skype for Windows Mobile 2.2, you'll notice that it says that it uses the HelloSoft voice engine. This engine does not seem to support the ARM v4 instruction set, since it crashes on all devices with that CPU. They probably use some of the v5 specific instructions in order to speed up the codec. The older versions of Skype for Windows mobile used the GIPS voice engine (also according the about dialog), which worked on almost all devices, but on the other hand was much slower than the HelloSoft engine.

Now, it seems that Skype for all other platforms has stopped using the GIPS voice engine and migrated to Skype's own one instead. That might be the reason why GIPS is no longer used in the Windows Mobile devices."

Hello everyone. Recently I received an LG Sunrise from Straight Talk. Incidentally, this had to be sent back 3 weeks after purchase because of the home process force closing. Now I have a replacement from Straight Talk and would like to keep the extended warranty included.

However, I'd REALLY REALLY like to disable or delete McAfee. It eats the battery and I use CM Security anyway. So, I need to root, disable or delete the software, and then unroot (for warranty purposes). But so far I haven't found any threads on it, nor am I sure where to start.

Here's the details of the phone:

Model Number: LGL15G

Android Version: 4.4.2 (KitKat)

Baseband Version: M8610B-AAAANAZM-1.0.6060

Kernel Version: 3.4.0+

Build Number: KOT49I.LGL15G10f

Software Version: LGL15G10f

I've got a different issue here. I was running SlimKat 4.4.4 with BMS kernel on my d2att. I was on the CUEMJB Bootloader and Modem, so I thought that I can directly flash the rom. First, what I did was flash UCUEMJB_to_UCUFNE4_Firmware_update.zip. It flashed perfectly till the end. Then I flash the I747UCUFNE4_Stock_Rooted_Deodex_3-31-15.zip, which had an error that I had forgotten. It apparently is caused by my BMS kernel, so I went on and reinstall SlimKat 4.4.4 to remove the kernel. It flashed perfectly, but when I rebooted my phone, it did not power on. I was thinking, what's inside the UCUEMJB_to_UCUFNE4_Firmware_update.zip, are they the bootloaders and modem for CUFNE4 ? If so, is my phone dead like all the others who flashed 4.4.2 modem over 4.3 ? Please, I need my phone bad.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alomia:
Hey yeah. No errors occurred when I flashed it. The only I have gotten was from the OTA update zip itself. I can't remember what it is, but it prevented me from updating my phone to UCUFNE4. So I reinstalled Slimkat and booted properly but at the time I've rebooted, it's all dead. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alomia:
And also, yes. That is the post that I've followed. I checked if my bootloader and modem are CUEMJB, and they are. So I figured that the firmware update should've not ruin it.

I really don't know what happened to cause this problem with your phone. When flashing a phone, there is always an element of risk. I have pooched a few phones in my life too. I even damaged a couple of sim slots by using sim adapters too.

When your phone was able to boot with the debrick image, you could have tried reflashing the mjb bootloader and modem but it's a moot point now.
