cortana doesnt understand nigerian english yet so change ur region and language to usa. you may have to download the usa english language if its not already there. then restart ur phone. cortana will rise like the phoenix.
the app u r talking about is nokia city lens...not too sure if microsoft have changed the name yet but check d lumia line of apps. all u do is open it and place it up. the sites around u will show up on the screen by itself
thanks I tried to download the city lens app. But it says features on my phone is too much. It seems the resolution of my phone is higher than what it can handle. Weird.

DONT ARGUE... There are more than one files to use.

DOWNLOAD FILES and EXPLORER. Anyone u like but FILES is the best.
Bro, i heard that the limit for downloading apps from the windows store is 20mb when using mobile network and it is not optional to bypass the limit when using mobile network. Does that mean you need wifi connectivity to download games like MC4?

I downloaded a zip file with internet explorer. How will I locate It in "Files"
I'll suggest you download "Pocket File Manager". The free version is a lot more flexible than microsoft's "Files"m

Thank God is not that guy that posted this, i would have bash him.

Now you have seen for yourself another area window phone is lacking behind. Is app creation meant for a particular mobile device or current OS running on a particular device?

Some app will tell you, this is not meant for lumia 610 though the app says phone runing 8.1 and if lumia 610 is running 8.1 and also lumia 520 running 8.1, why cant app running on lumia 1020 using 8.1 run on both 619 and 520? Another flaws

If samsung galaxy 5 and techno phantom runs same OS kitkat... They can run same app despite the cost and spec.

Hope you get me right coz i have saw many app review on window app store complaining of this jargons.


I was even the first person that posted the New BBM update here weeks ago. I dont complain of lagging after i upgrade my BBM using OS 8.1 but i saw so many ppl complaining here even on window store. So dont tell me crap or lecture me when it comes to window 8 OS
I think it might be a ram problem. Most apps have to be optimized to accommodate Lumia phones with 512ram (and there are a lot of them).

BBM sucks on my phone though, so I just deleted the rubbish. And most developers are yet to build their applications to run well on W8 devices. That should be the developer's problem and not the OS itself, because i have a number of apps that run well on my device.

abegi, what are you saying ke? Don't ever compare windows with Android ,ever again! A phone that if you download say a PDF file, you don't know where it is. You can only view it with Adobe(or any other PDF reader). You don't know where downloaded files go. I downloaded a zip file with uc browser, with the hope of sending it to the system. Till today, I don't know where it is. I can only check what's inside the zip from the download history of UC. You have to developer unlock the phone before you can install apps not from the store and so on. Windows is better than Android Not even close!
You are obviously a noob bro grin #no offence.
While Android is way more powerful than windows phone, this issues you listed don't exist.
Hold down the PDF in uc download list and click export. You will then find this in pictures/ucdownload.
Download pocket file manager to gain better control over unzipping files.

I can perform almost all file operations on WP.

The biggest problem WP has is apps.

My brother don't mind these peeps here, they taught im novice when it comes to using smartphone.... I have used virtually all OS even the almighty iOS and i can tell you the difference.

They are making people looks like window phone is the classic fone in town now.

For you info, I sell mobile gadget and I can tell you hundreds of areas where window 8 phone is lacking behind.... Now look at the much hype delim update... Noting is changing like what people are anticipating.

Do you the latest trend in town now about window 8 phone.... It is the speakers and headphone issue. You will plug in your headphone and when you remove it. The outside speakers stops working... I search google yesterday and come and see thousands of people having this problem from different device. Well Microsoft claim it is software issue that next update will fix it.

It was yesterday that I discovered the soft solution to it... I almost look like a lier yesterday when I wanted to sell Lumia 1020 to someone and the speaker stop working but thank God I was able to explain to the guy on how to manually do because it is just a software issue and not hardware.

If I'm lying just search google"Nokia Lumia speakers not working after using Headphones" and see comments.

If it comes to Os rating.

iOs no one

Android second

Blackberry 10.1 third

Windows follows.

You can still quote and attack me with your lectures.
Rating iOS above Android made your post invalid.
You honestly have to use the phone for a while before you get a grip of it.
This OS lacks apps though.
Re: Windows Mobile Naija Forum by Elxandre(m): 2:56pm On Nov 13, 2014
How can anyone who has used IOS talk ill of windows phone?
WP is far more open than an unjailbroken iPhone.
Can you copy files from your PC to your iPhone with a simple USB transfer?
Do you have an official file manager yet?
Is your multitasking not the same pause and resume like windows phone?
Which has the better start screen between both?

The only major thing an unjailbroken iPhone has over WP is apps.

And someone even compared BB10 without its own apps to windows phone? grin

There is no application to view downloaded files on the internal memory(except you download with UC and then export it) But viewing it where it was downloaded? No no no! No dey try to claim expert here(cos I goggled t the problem and found out it's universal)

It shows clearly that u're a smartphone freak & not about Operating system cos every operating system has it own lacking point and that while each OS still runs updates

But if u say Blackberry 10 is much better than Windows, I guess u don't really understand those 4 OS clearly.

Blackberry is no 1 when it come to maximum Security.

Iphone is no 1 when it come to the Best applications and a wonderful O.S

Windows is no 1 when it comes Simple and Classic O.S

While Android is no 1 when it comes to you customizing ur device.

So pls know what you want, then select the best O.S that fit you and stop all this ur criticizing cos I know want I wanted from a device and windows get me 82% of that and I'm ok.
If windows does not meet urs or U don't really understand the O.S, pls switch to what suit you cos as for me I really cherish what windows as a new operating system is capable of doing within few years.

Bro, you may rate android because of its popularity and number of users but when it comes to apps and smooth Os like highziq mentioned then android is nowhere near iOs... Bro, try and use iOs for 6months and you'll surely know the different.

btw, iPhone can also be jailbroken like rooting of android so how is android number one?

all u guys here bashing windows phone are funny. where were u when android and ios first came out? nowhere. i technically have used all oses to the max and i know where windows phone flaws others to a pulp. android has an advantage over every other os because of its customizability, yet it's super vulnerable. i can categorically tell u not even android, or ios were on the level windows phone is on now at the time they just came out. this is a thread for windows phone users i must say. respect the fact that we have a thread and move over silently.


thanks for understanding


Exactly.... within few years windows can also stand among other competing O.S. now windows store has over 500,000 application.

Google cant compete with apple and microsoft.android have gotten to its peak in 2014,just as samsumg peaked in 2013 and nokia in 2008.....android ll fall from d launch of win 10.

Re: Windows Mobile Naija Forum by martineverest(m): 2:55pm On Nov 16, 2014
No,it means window phone,ios,android and bb os re weak and light.they re meant for consumer,media and household devices like phones and tablet.computer os like mac,windows and linux are heavy os for enterprise,industrial and professional purposes....the weakness of android,ios etc limits their usage in other areas.dat microsoft promptly launched surface tablets(laplets) to monopolise professional tablets.lenovo also joined with yoga pro...these new devices are gradually making proffesional ditch android tablet and ipad for windows tablet..with the launch of windows 10 with a unified operating syste;,more apps,more oem will join windows device production.this ll tempt microsoft to start producing phones with windows os(phones with up to 8gb ram with intel core processors),resulting to pocket pc......dats y there have been rumours of 'surface phone'

Guys? I'm wondering if it's advisable to buy Nokia Lumia phones currently, since Microsoft have decided to shut down the company and rename their phones Microsoft Lumia. My current fear is that soon they'll look for a way to phase out the Nokia models and promote their MSLumias instead, and if I'm not being paranoid they just might decide to stop releasing OS updates like they did with the Symbian model.

Just wondering if I should buy this phone i want now, or wait till MS start releasing their Lumias next year undecided
