I just got my S8+ today and experienced the same issue. I added my Outlook.com as Exchange Active Sync account to get calendar and contacts synced on the phone too. This results in the "action required to sync email" message in your inbox, which encourages you to download the Outlook app. If...

Of course I tried that, same as before...didn't work for me the second time...

Hmm this was working for me before the firmware update, but now when flash videos play I get the audio but only black screen instead of video. Any ideas?

Not if U use the Surface's own split keyboard ?

If you did that, how would you recover? I mean, its not like WinRT is available as a download. Can you even ghost image?!

Agree its not very good, I hope they release an RT version of Outlook. But you CAN multiselect, kind of swipe an email to the right a bit and a tick pops up in the corner, and then do the same for other. At the moment, Hotmail/Outlook.com is better than the RT mail app...

Just to add from my own experience: I found the <flash> tag and inserted <domain> mydomain.com </domain> immediately above the first entry which is However I couldn't get it to work no matter how many times I followed the instructions. Then I scrolled down to where the list starts without...

Great work Dexter! I just got my Nexus7 yesterday, but felt crippled by the lack of SD slot and 3G...found this ROM and have to say I am impressed. Of course its not quite as snappy (Tegra3 Vs single core snapdragon, to be expected!) but in all other respects its working well for me. 3G...

Realistically, you're better off waiting at this point until proper Win8 tabs are released around Q4 this year. Hardware, specs, battery life etc will all likely be better than any current W7 device. 1) Samsung has their own guide to installing W8CP on their site...

You need to go away and research both WP and the Smoked campaign. If you really want the challenge out of the box, Android is gonna get SMOKED. You draw attention to one of the challenges, in which both parties had made mods to the homescreen. But lets take an Android and WP, straight out of...

I guess an iPhone user making the switch would also complain about losing "apple services". But here's a thing - if you're going with a new phone, why not try new services? Let's face it, Androids have been horribly #smokedbywindowsphone in the real-world tests of simple things like finding a...

Well this pearl of wisdom was the first hit when I Bing'd your query... Should answer your question ;)

Might be worth telling us what your region is ;) I am in Singapore, although I have a UK based Live account (with UK credit card). I get the same error message...for instance on the Videos page, I guess because the videos for sale/download are simply not available in my region (guess it does...

Very excited for whatever Nokia may come up with. If the aesthetic is anywhere close to the Lumia800 with decent battery life, this could be a killer Win8 tab. Now its hard to decide if I save pennies for this or the Asus Transformer Win8 tab, which they will surely do...

Another Acer W500 user here, went from Dev preview to clean install of Consumer Preview. Made a bootable USB key and randomly mashed the DEL key on startup to convince it to boot from USB. Screen rotation doesn't work on install (Is that the g-sensor?!), nor bluetooth. But WOW, what a...
