Microsoft helps launch the Eurovision Song Contest app on Windows Phone and Windows 8.1

Image
Microsoft has entered into a partnership with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to help develop and launch the official 2015 Eurovision Song Contest mobile apps. Those apps are debuting on Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 before they launch for iOS and Android later this week. The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the longest-running TV shows in the world. It began in 1956 and allows each country that's a member of the EBU to submit a song that's performed on the show.  Each song is then voted on by the public, along with a professional jury from each country, to determine the winning song. 40 countries will take part in Eurovision 2015, with over 200 million people expected to watch the show later in May. Microsoft says: "Based on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, the ultimate Eurovision Song Contest companion app is available in English across all EU countries, as well as in Dutch, Swedish, German, Danish, French and Spanish.  Coming first on Windows P

Is it time for a landscape start screen?

Image
Windows Phone has a poor history of support for landscape handsets, despite some of the first devices released with Windows Phone 7 being landscape sliders. As the picture right demonstrates, the operating system did not make much accommodation for the hardware, resulting in oddities such as a landscape keyboard and portrait start screen. What however if the start screen did rotate? With Windows 10 Mobile to support small tablets, which are much more likely to be used in landscape mode, this seems to be a coming necessity. Ryo Qqo have posted the above concept designs of what a landscape start screen should look like, and importantly rotating the screen would not result in the relative position of the Live Tiles changing at all. The content of square live tiles would simply change orientation, while rectangular live tiles would simply become tall instead of wide, and their content would revert to what would be shown if the live tile was square. This elegant solut

Music for Windows Phone picks up a minor update!

Image
Microsoft today released a new update for the Music app for Windows Phone. The latest update is a minor one and doesn’t really bring a lot of new features. Here’s the changelog: •You can now remove an item from your Recent plays! •Tired of waiting for the app to sync? Now you can manually kick one off whenever you like from Settings. The latest update, version 2.6.677.0 will allow you to remove any music from your Recent Plays. The latest update also adds the ability to manually sync from the Settings page – that’s pretty much it for the latest update. The latest update for Music is now live on the Windows Phone Store and you can grab it from  here .

MKV video support comes to Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2

Image
We all know Windows 10 Mobile will bring support for Matroska Video Stream or .mkv support, which has also been called the pirates format due to its limited use in legitimate channels. Great news for those wearing eye patches however is that even Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 will support the format, with the WC reporting that such videos are now playable in the Xbox Video app. Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 has brought a large number of attractive features, including Reset Protection, support for Bluetooth Keyboards, improved and pinnable settings and much more, but unfortunately except for the lucky few who received it via the Windows Insider program, the new OS is only expected to roll out to new handsets like the Lumia 640 and 640 XL and the new Lumia 540.

Ex-Microsoft Windows Phone designer explains the move to the Hamburger menu in Windows 10 Mobile

Image
The move to the hamburger menu in Windows 10 Mobile has been incredibly controversial, with Windows Phone not just losing one handed usage, but also differentiation from other mobile operating systems. An ex-Microsoft designer has now broken the silence on the move in a reddit AMA, and has revealed that the internal debate has been going on for at least 2 years now inside Microsoft. The short version on why the company eventually settled on the hamburger menu, according to ex-Microsoft Interaction Designer Jon Bell is: Hello! These are all super common questions. But let me unpack some of your statements and dissect them a bit. *.Why not let the user swipe? *.Hamburger – bottom is better if you interact a lot 1) Swiping sucks. It hides content. Let’s say you’re in Format and you want to get to something 5 tabs away. Five swipes is an unacceptable series of interactions. The carousel model has been disproven repeatedly, every single decade, for several decades. We have the data. It’

Rumor: Microsoft Working On Two Mid-Range Lumias In Addition To Two Flagship Devices

Image
When Windows 10 for phones comes out this Summer, Microsoft is expected to reveal new Lumia devices running this major OS update. While most of us are expecting one flagship device from Microsoft, Microsoft is working on number of new devices including two upper mid-range devices that will be released in the Q3-Q4 time period. NokiaPowerUser today posted some info about the new devices Microsoft is working on. Read about them below. *.Lumia 940 may sport a 5-inch while Lumia 940 XL may have a 5.7 inch display. The rear camera sensor may be 24-25 MP from current 20 MP on Lumia 930. They will certainly feature a 5 MP or even higher MP FFC. It is also expected to include 3D-interaction, Iris scanner and native Pen support as part of the package. *.One mid-range device may pack 13-14 MP rear camera (PureView), 5 MP FFC, better processor and may sport similar or slightly modified design to Lumia 830. This device may have a screen size around 5-inch. It may be the Lumia 840. *.One more mid-r

Here are our impressions of the BLU Win HD with Dual SIM LTE

Image
  The BLU Win HD Windows Phone with Dual SIM LTE may be the best contract bargain yet Back in 2014, BLU became one of a handful of new white-label manufacturers to add their services to the Windows Phone ecosystem. Offering low cost but eye-catching phones to consumers, companies like BLU brought something other than Lumias to those in the US. Perhaps more importantly, they finally offered a vision of unlocked, carrier free devices, giving consumers the ultimate choice. The BLU Win HD was a  strong first effort. With its bright colors and bold design, the Win HD had a lot of potential. However, lacking 4G LTE data is a major setback for devices in the US, where the speedy standard is found on the most basic phones. Due in part to the chipset used at the time, this was one of the roadblocks keeping the otherwise stellar Win HD out of some people's hands. Now, in April 2015, we have a sequel: the BLU Win HDLTE. Nonetheless, this phone is much more than just faster data. New, mu

Warning: On Windows 10 Mobile TP, don’t uninstall Outlook Mail and Calendar

Image
 With Windows 10 Mobile Microsoft seems to have taken an attitude of little handholding and letting users make mistakes if they want.  While we appreciate this less paternalistic attitude, it does mean the need for a lot of warnings.  The latest is that Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview users should not try and uninstall the Outlook Calendar and Outlook Mail apps, no matter how much you hate the hamburger menus.  For one, it will not bring back the old mail and calendar apps, and secondly, you will end up being stuck without any mail or calendar apps, as there does not seem to be any way to re-install them without hard resetting your phone.  So, dear Technical Preview users, walk carefully around those landmines!

Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL to hit retail in Australia this May, pricing revealed

Image
Several Australian carriers are set to launch the latest mid-range offering from Microsoft in early May. Optus and Telstra will stock the Lumia 640 while Vodafone will sell the bigger Lumia 640 XL. Furthermore, the local retailer Harvey Norman will also sell both handsets in the country. As far as the pricing is concerned, the Lumia 640 will carry a A$299, while its bigger sibling will cost A$399. This is a competitive price for both handsets if you consider the specifications both handsets bring to the table. As for the Lumia 640, the handset features a 5-inch display boasting a resolution of 1,280 by 720 pixels, a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage, 8MP camera for photos and videos, 1MP front-facing camera, LTE connectivity, a 2,500 mAh battery and ships with Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim as its operating system.

Here are some Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview tweaks you may have missed Small tweaks for a better experience

Image
Windows 10 Mobile TP2 is out, and while there are many large changes for people to fawn over – there is also a collection of smaller changes as well. We have noticed this list of minor changes, illustrated in the screen shot gallery below: *.All settings can now be pinned to the start screen, like in 8.1 GDR2 with a small pin indicating pin ability –just like in Windows 10 for desktop. *.The Multitasking UI has changed, now it moves from left to right like iOS, rather than from right to left like the current implementation. *.Users of the current TP may also notice improved app backgrounding for apps. An example would be the stopwatch app which always remembers stays up to date even if it crashes. Other apps like Maps, Camera and Photos – despite being crash prone, almost always managed to restart right where I left them from the multitasking pane. *.The messaging app no longer spawns multiple cards in the task manager, and you’ll no longer be able to leave different pages open for d

The Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview Bug and Issues thread

Image
 Running the new Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview on your handset is somewhat of an experience, with elements which are pretty great, like voice typing, and parts which are pretty rough, like Project Spartan.  If you have an issue, and wish to share it, let us and everyone else know in the comments below.  Below are some known issues to get you started, and we will look to add your comments to the list: •There might be situations in which auto-upload of your Camera Roll to OneDrive may not be working. Please be sure to back up your photos especially if you need to use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1. •The Office Hub has been removed from this build. You won’t be able to open Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote files in this build. Preview versions of the universal Office apps will be available in the coming weeks. •We are redoing how text messages are handled and processed by Cortana so in this build text messages cannot be read out over Bluetoot

Updated: Database error delays Windows 10 for new Insiders by 2 more hours.

Image
Microsoft has just informed that,  We discovered this morning that there was an error in the database for provisioning record data, which is required for new phones to join the Fast Ring through the Windows Insider app. The team has been working to correct it but the load on the provisioning data servers has made all operations extremely slow. To fix the issue, we are taking the service offline and updating the provisioning record data for all 5100 phone POPs. It will take approximately 2 hours for us to make the update, and validate that everything is working. This is a different service from Windows Update, so Insiders who are currently on 9941 should be able to update their phones if they are already in the Fast ring. If they are in the Slow ring they will encounter the same issue with provisioning data. We apologize for the delay on this and are working to ensure it never happens again.  As I update this, I was able to download the Build 10051 update on my Lumia 730 running l

The Windows 10 for Phones technical preview is coming tomorrow to most WP8.1 Lumias except the Lumia 930/Icon. Now many of you may be ready to download and install the preview on your phones as soon as it comes out. That’s admirable, but you may need to slow down and think first. Before reading any further, here are three words. Hard reset. Soft reset. Roll-back. If it took you more then five seconds to remember what those are, don’t bother reading any more. The tech preview is most likely not for you.  Now, many of you may have heard of the Windows Phone dev preview and how you can use it to get early, stable, FINISHED updates to your phone. This is not that program. They only share the words preview in common. The Windows Technical preview is truly offering you a preview release of an unfinished OS on your phone.

New leaked Windows 10 for phones screenshots reveal a new task switcher

Image
   New screenshots of an unreleased Windows 10 for Phones build have leaked online, showing off a new task switcher and other notable improvements.  The images, shared by WindowsMania.pl, show not only the new task switcher, which appears to display active apps in groups of four, but other changes like new streamlined selection menus. By streamlined I mean they no longer take up the entire screen as is the case with Windows Phone 8.1.  An interesting screenshot is of the "Choose an App" selection screen, which shows the OS assigning additional storage a drive letter (as one would expect on their desktop/laptop). This likely could be a pointer to support for external storage.  As well as visual changes in the leaked screenshots, the unreleased build also seems to be taking some of the editing functionality of Word and adding said features to apps like email. From alternating between different headers to implementing a table style, Microsoft is clearly looking to br

Brazil is the second largest Windows Phone market in the world

Image
 At at a recent visit to Brazil to launch the Lumia 640, Microsoft Mobile VP Stephen Elop revealed that Brazil is a very important country for Microsoft.  He noted that Brazil “is among the first two Windows Phone market in terms of units sold.” Stephen Elop noted that Microsoft has once again overtaken Apple in Brazil in terms of market share, noting “Today we compete on equal terms with Apple in Brazil in terms of market share and units sold.” Unfortunately of course both operating systems are distant 2nds and 3rds to Android, with 91% market share.  Stephen Elop attributed Microsoft success in the region to good pricing, noting “we have adopted aggressive price points in Brazil” and, therefore, the business would be doing great.  A recent IDC report showed that more than half of smartphones sold in Brazil in 2014 were mid-range devices. Therefore, Microsoft has focused on this devices category and also low cost, that help “grow the pie”. The Lumia 640 Dual SIM 3g DTV is available

Microsoft registers a new company known as Microsoft Payments, Apple Pay competitor inbound?

Image
Mobile payments are becoming popular with major key players having their own smart payment solutions for their devices. Apple has Apple Play, Google has just updated Wallets, and Samsung introduced Samsung Pay, available in the US and Korea later this summer, followed by more regions later. Now it looks like Microsoft is also working on a smart payment solution, which may see the light of the day in the coming months. A recent report revealed a license filed by the software giant with the regulatory bodies for a mobile payments company known as Microsoft Payments Inc. The State of Idaho (Department of Finance) was among the first ones to issue a money transmitter license to the company, but the report mentions Microsoft has filed the license for all of the 50 states in the US. The company also registered with the FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) in the US Department of Treasury as well. So, there's a possibility that Microsoft may launch a mobile payment solution, bu

All about Windows 10 Phones USB support: What’s in & What’s not?

Image
  We have earlier reported about how Windows 10 for Phones will bring much better USB support via WinHec PPT. Time to go into details and see what all is supported or not supported with Windows 10 for Phones, when it comes to USB. There seems to be a good enough range of USB drivers that are supported. For example: USB mass storage, Serial devices, Bluetooth, Audio in / out and as we already know USB Mice / Keyboard is supported too. But there are some desired features that are not supported, like USB printing and USB video (WebCam). Check the above table. Though all these are supported in Windows 10 for Desktop.
