Are any YOUTUBE APPS working normally on Windows Phone 8 ?? YOUTUBE, METROTUBE, MYTUBE, SUPERTUBE all seem to have problems.....

In Windows Phone 8 is it possible to disable Toast Notifications for SMS and Instant Messages? It was really annoying that personal messages would pop up on my lock screen in business situations etc ....you can disable this on Android and IOS phones my colleagues use.

Why is there no BBC Iplayer , SKY GO, ITV Player 4 OD, Five On Demand for Windows Phone ? I have read it's a technical issue surely with Windows 8 now so similar to Windows Phone this should be fixed quickly?

If Bluetooth 4 is missing I think its a big mistake... It appears new low powered SMART Bluetooth DEVICES are about to hit the market in the next six months. Smart Watches, Heath/Fitness Monitors, proximity tags, Smart Shoes etc.... NFS is a good addition but why not include Bluetooth 4 also...

I think its been said that all phones will get WP8 but earlier phones will have features disabled just like low end Tango Phones won't have all Mango features. Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I think the Microsoft strategy is starting to show itself and I with with in 18 months there will be more METRO devices than Android and even IOS... I expect Microsoft to virtually give Windows 8 away for Free or at least very cheaply. This is because of the huge potential to make money from...

I think if you are not using your primary windows live account for messaging then the in built messaging system will not see your windows live contacts on any subsequent accounts. So a third party solution is needed... Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Well that's not great !!! and they are trying to block devs making WINDOWS LIVE CHAT apps when their native one will have zero flexibility... Another crazy idea... Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Looks like it is only possible to chat via your main Live Messenger Account in Mango.. I have an older secondary account with about 100 contacts and I see nothing in the messages tile for them even when I know they are online... My primary account I use for Xbox Live and Zune... with no Live...

Can someone confirm that WLM still works in the new version 1.4 is you are already signed up for Windows Live in the APP??

Are the call logs in Mango more extensive than in NODO ?? I would like to see how long a call lasted which I think is basic stuff..

Couple of questions Can Toast Notifications be disabled in the latest Mango Build for SMS and IM especially when the screen is locked?? Has call duration been enabled for the call logs ? Thanks

Company search for Exchange 2007/2010 always worked always worked I think ...but Exchange 2003 company search (GAL) was enabled in NODO Thanks to all for answers and appologies if I have offended anyone I am a bit peeved with Microsoft, Orange and Samsung and this non update on my Omnia 7...

@colossus_r what is your POINT !!!!!!!!!! I`ve had a Samsung Omnia since October and carry it everyday along with my Blackberry for work.... but I dont have time to f%%k about trying to work out things that are not obvious!!! My phone is pre-nodo btw if that makes a difference.. About...

Will Mango fix the basic functions that were missing when released? None of the recent reviews seem to address this.. 1. Can you listen to movie audio via bluetooth headset ? 2. Can you prevent sms notifications appearing - especially on the lock screen ? 3. Is there now a detailed CALL...

I think we will see high end phones support FFC (like they do on android) because MANGO will have the API`s to support video calling etc - I 100% expect the HIGH END NOKIA phones to have FFC and other OEM`s will have to respond. LOW END phones will probably have cheaper camera arrangements.

So does WP7 have the API`s to create any APP currently on IPHONE OR ANDROID?? and are features now on the same level??? If not whats missing?? and in what areas is Windows Phone ahead if any?

I hope this gets fixed in Mango !!! As when I leave the phone charging on my desk at work people can read my text messages when they walk past if I receive an SMS.........

Sorry Guys but I am one of the Guys who complain when I am not happy!!! I and others did so on their Blog recently and you know what ?? They made a statement within a day regarding the status of the Omnia 7. They had known about the issue for weeks but only anwered questions when people...

These are some of the Apps I would like to see in the WP7 marketplace Bump WhatsAPP Fring Layer Paypal Word Lens Lose IT Around ME what would you guys like to see ???

I disagree Nokia has the Brand loyalty not Symbian at least with the average customer... Nokia stands for Reliabilty and Quality in hardware and optics. When Nokia devices arrive with Mango built in there will be no functionality disparity!!! between WP7 and RIM/ANDROID/IOS Just checked...

Apple update the spec of their devices every year and I think Microsoft should look to do this also... In addition to the Gyroscope and new processors metioned at MIX I would like to see the following... Fall 2011 - Windows Phone 7.5 1. Front Facing Camera - Launched with Live Messenger...

The only companies in this market with Brand Loyalty is RIM, APPLE and Nokia.... Thats why Nokia is huge for WP7 especially in the emerging markets where their lead is considerable and economic growth is much higher than the North America and Western Europe..... If Nokia raises the profile of...

Nokia will be using WP7 for the low end after 2012 and WP8 for the high end devices... I think they will introduce new form factors also... Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Much has been made of the Windows Phone slow start with maybe less that 2 million units in the hands of consumers. However I think that the recent predictions by Gartner, IDC etc... of about 20% by 2015 might be a little low. I think by 2015 Android and Windows Phone will have parity in software...

Can I suggest we post here and demand some answers... http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/?PageIndex=2 I know alot of the media read this blog and Microsoft have issued appologies etc... as a result of large numbers of negaive posts to this blog.. Personally I am feeling...

I have this problem to as Orange replaced my phone when trying to resolve an issue with dropping signal..... Now I still have signal issue and old software. Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Could you please let them know alot of my friends and colleagues have been put off by not having the option to switch off the feature where new text messages display their contents in the notification panel. This even happens when the screen is locked and can be embarrassing when its personal or...

Well I am sure many multinational companies still use exchange 2002 and my colleagues Iphone supports it for GAL but wp7 does not slightly embarrassing.

How do you inform Microsoft officially about things that stop you enjoying WP7 ?? Is there are phone number or email address etc ?? The privacy thing really bugs me that you don`t have the option to stop text messages popping up on my locked screen for example. Also I would like them to fix...

No GAL for exchange 2003 unfortunately :-( even Iphone has this!!!!!!!! I hope they fix this soon because I need it..

Is it possible to use my PC for UK Marketplace and my Laptop for USA marketplace? So having access to both? I already use a VPN service to access USA only sites like HULU with no problems..

If the screen is off it wakes up for 5 seconds to display the text message then goes off again ........why they dont allow you to switch this off I dont know!!

It about Microsoft limiting choice to a stupid level or not thinking things through. In this case I don`t want personal or business information that is intended for me to be seen by someone else. I don`t think people are intentionally invading space really because it might be an innocent...

3. First two lines of Text Messages show on notification bar even when screen is locked - BIG PRIVACY ISSUE!!! Every phone I owned showed the last message content shortly after reception. My Sony and Sony Ericsson dumb phones, my iPhone, both my Magic and Nexus. And now my future...

1. Copy and Paste (coming soon) 2. Fast App Switching (probably coming soon) 3. First two lines of Text Messages show on notification bar even when screen is locked - BIG PRIVACY ISSUE!!! 4. Cannot Search Company Directory after setting up an Exchange Account (even Iphone can do this) 5...

While I am enjoying many things about Windows Phone 7 like the look, feel, general speed and the type of APPS that are appearing I am more than a little annoyed at just how dumb they have made it.... The options to tweak things are just so minimal its almost a joke. I am not speaking as a...

I got the Omnia 7 from Orange yesterday build quality is good and the screen is awsome... Free on 18 month contract £35 per month.... So will have the option to upgrade again Jan 2012 (after 15 months)........ Had no crashes so far!!

Just tested it on my Samsung Omnia 7 and it flashes up the first line of the text message at the top of the screen even when the screen is locked. I think this is a basic privacy issue and there should be an option to not display it as there was in windows 6.5 I often walk to a colleagues desk...

Is it possible to stop text messages flashing up at the top of the screen as I would rather not have personal texts read by colleagues etc when I am away from my desk at work. I see nothing in settings to allow you to stop this..

Anyone else having problems viewing available APPS this morning ?? If you search it seems ok but the categories keep disappearing. Its only been open to the public for a day and issues with Marketplace already!! or is it just my connection?

Point taken I was probably not being fair on Android with 90,000 APPS there must be loads of good ones but maybe the percentage of good APPS on Iphone is better because of the control ???

I dont actually see the need for 300,000 APPS but equally 30,000 would probably be about right to cover the needs of all customers with an element of choice. What ever you say about the Iphone its true that whatever you need there appears to be an App for it... Personally I think 5000 APPS...

I called the Orange Store in Croydon they have no idea if WP7 handsets will be there tomorrow....

You are right Quality and the right Apps are important but so is Choice and this is where the number of APPS is important. Also if WP7 has sold millions of units there will be 000`s of APPS if it bombs there will be few APPS I think thats obvious..

This is really annoying actually... Big announcement from Microsoft 21st October lanuch in Europe !!! but no Carriers appear to be launching tomorrow... I called Orange the MAIN LAUNCH PARTNER and they say HTC Mozart next week and Samsung Omnia (Orange name will be Cetus) by the end of...

Ok so there will be about 1000 APPS at Launch but in one years time how many APPS do you guys think the Marketplace will have and which 3 top tier APPS do you think will have been ported to WP7??? I predict 20,000 APPS and SKYPE, TOMTOM and Angry Birds will be in the Market Place.

I am actully quite pleased with the APPS in the Marketplace so far and have identified many APPS I will download both free and paid when I get my new phone. I do think Microsoft should work with the likes SKYPE, TOMTOM, OPERA etc to get their APPS on to WP7 platform asap also...

I think the myphone service should do it... http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en-GB

Will Windows Live Messenger be available at launch on Windows Phone 7 ??? I have yet to see it demoed.... Also are any IM Clients in development from 3rd parties?
