How do I delete a Windows 8/RT user account?

Posted by Unknown 1 comment

As you might have noticed, all settings and PC related functions are not available in the PC Settings of the metro interface in Windows 8/RT.

 If you want to remove a user account, manually set the time, change the power options, etc, you still need to visit the good old Control Panel.

 There are two ways of getting to the Control Panel from the start screen:

  1. Simply type ‘Control Panel’ (or the first few characters of it) on your keyboard. Then tap the Control Panel icon.
  2. Swipe up from the bottom to show the application menu. Tap ‘All apps’ and then tap the Control Panel icon.

I’ve seen a number of questions related to this in the Microsoft Community so hopefully this tip will be of use to someone.

How to reset Nokia Lumia 920

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

Nokia Lumia 920 one of the best phones ever made (if not the best) has no removable battery. So, how can a soft reset be performed? Here is an trick to do that:

Lumia 920 Soft Reset:
Press and hold the power- and volume-down buttons pressed simultaneously for ten seconds. The phone should then vibrate and reboot.

Lumia 920 Hard Reset:
If a soft reset does not solve your problem, a hard reset (back to factory settings) might be your only option. To perform a hard reset press and hold the power-, volume-down- and camera buttons until the phone vibrates. Then release the power-button and keep the other two buttons pressed for another five seconds. The phone should reset to factory settings.

Gaming on Windows and Windows Phone provides a nice, integrated experience

Posted by Unknown 0 comments


One of the things I like about Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 is how integrated the gaming experience is. Both platforms are powered by Microsoft’s extremely popular Xbox LIVE service, so they include the usual achievements, leaderboards, friends lists, Avatars, etc. But they also include support for asynchronous game notifications, Beacons, and SmartGlass. The end result is an experience that is consistent across platforms, despite the obvious differences in hardware and software.

The best examples of this are turn notifications and SmartGlass. I recently downloaded the new Xbox LIVE-enabled version of AlphaJax (a game I highly recommend, by the way), started a few games, and then sat down in front of my Windows 8 PC to get some work done. A few minutes later, a push notification appeared on Windows 8 letting me know that I had a new AlphaJax game invite. While I couldn’t continue the game on my PC – AlphaJax isn’t available on Windows 8 - the notification was a handy reminder that someone was waiting for me to take my turn. Many games support these notifications, and they also appear on Windows Phone.

SmartGlass works similarly, instantly sending a notification to my devices when I turn on my Xbox 360. This allows me to sit down in the living room, turn on my game console, and tap the notification on my Microsoft Surface with Windows RT tablet to start controlling the Xbox and using second-screen experiences. The SmartGlass Live Tile also shows whatever game you’re currently playing or recently finished.

Beacons are the only aspect of this that doesn’t work as well as I’d like. While notifications appear in the Games Hub’s notification center on Windows Phone whenever a friend starts playing a game I’ve set a Beacon for, they stay around way too long. More often than not, the friend has long since finished by the time I notice the Beacon, yet it still shows up under notifications. As a result, Beacons haven’t been all that useful on mobile devices as opposed to the actual Xbox 360 console.

Of course, these are just a few of the many gaming features. Beacons and notifications aren’t new on Windows Phone, but with Windows 8 devices now on store shelves, the experience has become better than ever before. Game notifications are no longer limited to just my phone; they’re on PCs and tablets as well.

Nokia Lumia 620 Windows Phone 8 powered officialy announced

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
Nokia has just confirmed the Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 620 – a mid-range device that sits just below its flagship Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 devices 
The Nokia Lumia 620 is officially here, joining the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 as the company’s third Windows Phone 8-powered device. 

Featuring a 3.8-inch WVGA 800x480 pixel display, the Lumia 620 is a much more pocketable handset than its larger-screened brethren. It does feature Nokia’s ClearBlack display technology, however, and two cameras: a 5-megapixel rear and VGA front-facing setup for Skype. 

The Nokia Lumia 620 uses a new dual-shot colour technique to deliver a variety of striking colour and texture effects, says Nokia.  

Dual-shot adds a second layer of coloured, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary colour blends and depth effects. The Lumia 620 will support seven exchangeable shells of varying colour.  

‘With seven different exchangeable shells to choose from, people can adapt the look of their Nokia Lumia 620 to their own personal taste and style,’ added Nokia. 

Powered by a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB of RAM, and shipping with 8GB of mass memory, the Lumia 620 also supports SD cards up to 64GB – a first for Nokia’s Lumia range. 

Users opting for the Lumia 620 will also get 7GB of free SkyDrive storage. 
The Nokia Lumia 620 will be in January 2013, with prices starting at $249, according to Nokia. At current exchange rates the Nokia Lumia 620 would retail for around £154 in the UK, making it the cheapest Windows Phone 8 handset on the market by a country mile. 

DropBox Coming on Windows 8 Very soon

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

DropBox has revealed its Windows 8 app is being submitted today and could arrive by the end of the week

Popular cloud storage service DropBox will have an app available for Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets very soon, the company has revealed.

On stage at the LeWeb 2012 event in Paris, the DropBox team revealed it is submitting the final build of its new app designed for the Windows 8 ‘Modern UI’ on the evening of December 5 (tonight), meaning Microsoft will be able to approve it and stick it on the Windows Store imminently.

The company previously revealed it was working on a Windows 8-facing version of its widely-used app in October.

The plan is for it to hit the Windows Store as soon as Microsoft gives its seal of approval, which means it could be available before the week is out.

But, according to TheNextWeb, DropBox said the app would ‘almost certainly be available next week’ (10-16 December).

Allegedly the app will work on both Windows 8 and Windows RT and will support both the desktop screen and Live Tile-based Modern UI.

When you sign up for a DropBox account you get 2GB of free storage straight away and it's accessible from a range of devices. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s own SkyDrive platform, which comes pre-installed with Windows 8/Windows RT, gives you 7GB free, so between the two services there’s plenty of space to play with.

Owning and registering certain phones which come with DropBox pre-installed also opens up additional free storage space, so you can accumulate quite a bit depending on what hardware you have.
