arv95 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 You can't get rid of Bing search but now you can use the search button to search files on the phone. And you cant turn wifi off just clicking on shortcut. It takes an extra step. But there are some apps that make these shortcuts appear as tiles. Maybe you can try that and check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. I prefer not to use third party apps that might conflict with system upgrades in the future :-) Also can you tell me which is the most battery efficient browser on windows 8.1 phones? (Something similar to opera on android which consumes battery lot less than stock browser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change speech(It will download and restart), language(It will download and restart) and keyboard to United States. Now finally change the region to United States and restart. You'll now get the "Cortana" instead of bing. Its way better than bing and pretty fun to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Something similar to opera on android which consumes battery lot less than stock browser) I don't know about battery efficient browser but UC browser is good and I find it better than IE Change speech(It will download and restart), language(It will download and restart) and keyboard to United States.

realsoccerdude111 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Can anyone confirm which is the most battery efficient browser on windows 8.1?

The Wolfy among us Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Some phone size comparisons where the screen sizes are the same. Moto X 2013 vs iphone 6 both with a 4.7 inch screen LG G3 vs Iphone 6 plus, both with a 5,5 inch screen Galaxy Note 4 (5.7 inch) vs iphone 6 plus (5.5 inch) Nexus 6 (6 inch screen) vs iphone 6 plus (5,5 inch screen) Simply put, the iphone better start shedding it's bulk.

dante77 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 yup, its their trademark and has fingerprint scanner. Physical button will definitely take space. Android have the no-button advantage for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 ya mid range device from sharp and is alerady released. But look at those bezels Just read they are using the technology which turns the entire phone into the speaker Read This! Instead Sharp uses a technology called direct wave that turns the entire phone into a speaker. The body of the phone is actually conducting the sound. You can put your ear anywhere on the front (or back) of the Crystal and hear the calls. It’s a bit strange at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
