Can someone please upload the lockscreen wallpapers that came in your Lumia by default?
Thanks,
The loser who couldn't wait for Lumia and invested in Titan.
They should be available via Settings -> Lockscreen -> Background

Read the post he hasn't got a Lumia, so he cannot get them there. I have them, but how do I sync them to my PC. Zune doesn't show them.

Some people don't know about this option thus missing a few stock backgrounds. I thought it was worth mentioning.

Yeah you are right, I don't own a Lumia
But I've heard Lumia has got some awesome wallpapers (as if the phone itself wasn't enough) to make me want it!
I think they are meant to be extracted somehow. Could you upload them to Skydrive from your phone?

Yes, there are some pretty nice photos in there But I don't see any way to upload/share them. If you know of any other way, let me know
I don't think you can extract those photos in any way. They are probably "baked" into the system. There are no options at all when longpressing those photos or the album. It can't even be browsed/seen other than when changing the lockscreen wallpaper.

Hi !
I was wondering if there is any chance of having a file explorer in the near future .
Any thoughts?
For what purpose? Browsing pictures and wideos?

No
For what purpose?
Why the question about purpose? A file explorer is generally a pretty useful thing to have. Re-opening downloaded files is a good example.
It looks like somebody have not understood the logic of windows phone.

And maybe you didn't understand the logic of the question...
A file Explorer will be nice so that you can decide for your self where to store files like e-mail attachments. I'm still recieving Zip file attachments.
For the amount of time windows phone has been available and still no file explorer...i wouldn't expect one anytime soon. If i recall correctly, its not even possible right now.

It looks like somebody has understood the logic of windows phone but has not yet understood the logic of windows file explorer.
Weird contradiction of logics on the same topic.
At least give us your logic of the one you understand and someone else will give you in more detail the logic of what you do not understand.

Though you had a valid point that honestly made me laugh, I find that a file explorer would help in some ways: Renaming files, changing locations, finding email/messaging attachments easier. Renaming files has been a huge issue for me, but I can just do that from my computer at home.
Some people think they should have those features built right into the phone, so you have to understand that they want a file manager.

Hopefully you are just toying with him , with your response. The intent of his response was to indicate that the Windows Phone system has integral plan and purpose in restricting where files, pictures, downloads, etc are stored. This is most likely to insure the integration with Skydrive and its Office apps, etc. This has been in play since the release of Windows Phone 7 2 years ago. Microsoft has not deviated from this. Anyone doing any research about Windows Phone would know this. The response just highlighted that a potential new WP user was asking a question.
A quick look around Windows Phone.com and/or several wiki type sites on the web will help fill in the blanks, and will help you understand what Microsoft will and won't allow access to. Hence, the lack of a file Manager.
If you own Windows 8, you can get a little access into the folder system by connecting your device and using the Windows Explorer to see what is accessible. But you will find access limited to Storage areas and a few other spots like Documents, music, Pictures, videos and Ringtones.
As a reminder, you as an OP should have done a quick search of the forum to bring up this already known situation. Your responder should have reminded you of that, and posted a non sarcastic response..again, as per forum guidelines. Isn't life hard enough without getting into pissing contests over a mobile device app?
Well I'm working with Windows since 1988... There was GEM before then long after got ipad1 android and now wp8. All previous had a file manager...
Now as an example I was downloading a FLAC file via bluetooth
The system just was happy to download the file on the phone...
Now as we know no flac player the file got on the file system somewhere
but I was unable to locate it for deleting it as is is 15 mb of useless data
Now what?
So looked at for a file explorer but nada...
Connecting the phone to the PC only showed the basic stuff
So where did that file ended up?
Surely wp8 is nice fresh what ever you want but common that stuff is sooooo locked up worth than apple.. Surely good for security as praised by some but personally I start to hate this paranoia and philosophy that what you bought is actuality not yours..
Please someone teach me where that file ended up maybe I missed something?

This may be of some help. It's not a file manager like on Windows, but you can manage downloads and there is a file manager section. I would post the link, but I'm new. The application is called "getthemall".
Hi, a vendor told me I couldn't send a picture directly from gallery (without opening Whatsapp apk). I can't believe it. Can somebody tell me if it's possible?

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can send pictures from any accessible place but not screenshots. Screenshots are of png format and most apps (like whatsapp) dont recognize it.
First time when I wanted to share my homescreen with a friend, I couldnt. Later I realized it is not a phone issue but with app and supported extensions.
If you want to send a screenshot to someone, upload it to skydrive first. Once upload go back into whatsapp, then attach the photo from the skydrive folder

Thanks, but I really think that this is something that the operating system should fix. I just put a suggestion in the wp8 official suggestions app...

its not an extension issue, its a whatsapp/wp8 issue because for some odd reason it wont allow you to attach from the screenshot from that specific folder, it could be that microsoft doens't allow access for 3rd party apps to this specific folder or most likely a problem with whatsapp it self.

There is nothing to be fixed in the operating system with this matter...
Whatsapp has to implement png support...
Also png is a much better format for screen shots than jpg...
on jpg you will get fragmentation from the compression...
png is pixelperfect!
Whatsapp Update
Hi folks,
If you don't know, whatsapp has a new version for Windows Phone with support to send screenshoot.
I just updated mine a few days ago, and it's working perfectly.
I know but didn't had time to post..
But anyway Whatsapp and WP support is improving! Goog news :victory:

Is there a way to make WP8 automatically load pictures/graphics in emails? It's a PITA to click on each one. Hoping I've overlooked a setting somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

same problem with my Dad's lumia 620, did you solve this?
I read that you could change the search from bing to google? However I can't find it anywhere?
It's the only thing not making this update perfect. By the way I'm in uk and used the disconnect trick to update but only had 3 updates the last being 7.8 am I missing something?
In Internet Explorer you can change it in browser settings. To change the physical "searchbutton" to search Google instead of Bing you need to hack your phone.
How do u do it in ie there is no setting in settings?
Open IE... press the three dots on the right to the adressfield and choose "settings". At the bottom of the settingspage you have the ability to change searchengine from Bing to Google

I believe that is only on WP8 devices.
No it´s not... I´m having it on my Lumia 800 7.8 as we speak. No mods, no extra cabs... just updated via Zune

My Telus [Canada] 800 is 7.8 updated via Zune and it does not have this option. It may be because you are in Sweden... The E version of Windows 7 was required by the EU to give you the choice of web browser and this may be a similar situation.
I have the HTC Titan and live in netherlands....I dont have this option either. So frankly I think that it has to do with the phone.
Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum and that is why i am posting it here. I am going to buy a new phone. The one i have stinks, however that is not the issue i want to address. I am stuck between samsung galaxy s3 and the windows 8x by HTC. The thing is that i use it for school and need to address some things about it
1) i download files a lot from my schools site, powerpoints, .rtf files, word documents, etc. So i need to know if i can download and view them right on my phone.
2) is the office application to view these files good? can i edit files if i want? SOLVED
3) i frequently use dropbox. is it supported? SOLVED
4) does it support mobile hotspot? i don't use it frequently but i have a tablet that on small occasion i have to use the hotspot.SOLVED
5) is the battery life ok on the 8x? SOLVED
6) is back up assistant on the 8x? i have verizon. if not how can i save my contacts if i go with this phone?
7) is IE 10 a good browser? i have never tried it.SOLVED
8) how is the app store? good or bad? does it have a navigation app? SOLVED
sorry for all the questions. i dont have an upgrade and want to make sure i get the right phone for the money.
i don't need to ask any questions about the s3 because i know android and that it works for all the above mentioned.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some guidance here.
S3. Why would anyone want a widows phone?

Not helpful
I think (but i'm really subjective) that WP8 is better than android for "working": Office is really helpful and you can read .ppt and .doc documents. Dropbox is supported and you can create an mobile hotspot easily. IE10 metro is really better than its predecessors (in desktop i still use chrome ). The app store is...mh...is better the android one i think, but compared to the wp7's store, the wp8 one is good

MS Office Mobile opens all files shown below:
Office Mobile app: Supported file types
Word Mobile: .doc, .docx, .dot, .dotx, .dotm, .docm, .txt, .rtf
Excel Mobile: .xls, .xlsx, .xlt, .xltx, .xlsm, .xltm

You should start using SkyDrive if you are going to get windows phone
I use android, and I use most of these services...
Dropbox for auto upload full size images to web instantly then download to pc.
GoogleDrive for backing up unlimited amount of photos on web (size decreases to 1024px width/height max )
SkyDrive for taking notes on the go and office files.
WP8 does support DropBox...
search for more apps here...

have fun, do let us know what you buy at the end.
Thanks!
