Any idea how to turn off wifi imn 2 steps on windows 8.1 phones? ( can turn wifi on in 2 steps but cant turn it off by just clicking on the shortcut)

 

Also how to get rid of bing search engine on the windows search key? Or being able to use windows search key for any other functions,if somehow permitted to do so.

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.

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)

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.

I don't know about battery efficient browser but UC browser is good and I find it better than IE

ya mid range device from sharp and is alerady released. But look at those bezels :O

Just read they are using the technology which turns the entire phone into the speaker :O

 

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.
