![]() The Mail and Calendar app is decent enough, albeit lacking in some important features (e.g., creating folders). Productivity apps are covered with Office Mobile, naturally. Of the major social media platforms, in fact, only Snapchat is entirely missing in action (by Snapchat’s choice, of course). Instagram and Pinterest are covered as well, with third-party options of varying quality. Social media is partly covered, for example, with a usable (but not terribly great) Microsoft-written Facebook app and plenty of decent Twitter apps. No matter how good Windows 10 Mobile becomes (it’s still in pretty rough shape at the moment), the platform will suffer until the app gap is closed.Įven so, there are actually only a handful of areas where it’s simply impossible to use a Windows phone. There are simply far more apps available in every category on the other two major platforms, and in many cases the equivalent apps are simply better. Hopefully after I turn off wifi, it will be able to reconnect the next time I turn it on.The so-called “ app gap” that separates Windows-based smartphones from their iOS and Android counterparts is very real. I am NOT going to mess with the wifi connection to my home network now that I finally got it connected. I did try at work yesterday and couldn't get connected, but I wasn't sure how good the wifi was at work so I didn't really worry about that. I'll see if I have problems connecting to wifi elsewhere. ![]() I suppose it is possible that my phone has an faulty Wifi. That's a real dissapointment since the phone has so many great features. The wifi on this phone must be VERY buggy. I tried manually connecting to my home network another 10 times or so, and I finally got it to connect again, and I can now access the internet. I thought you had to do that so that you wouldn't accidentally connect to 3G when there was no WiFi. ![]() I was wondering if it was because I turned off Data Services in my Verizon account. BUT.it wouldn't open any email unless it was text only. When I was connected, I still couldn't open any webpages, but it did download my email. I finally got my phone wifi to connect to my home network once by manually adding my network, but I couldn't seem to get it connected again when I try the same way. I could try one more phone to see if there is a problem with the wifi in my particular phone, but that will be a pain since I have spent quite a lot of time already on my phone manually entering all the contacts and setting up favorite contacts with photos etc. If it doesn't work at her house, I guess I need to return the phone. I'll try the wifi at my friend's house tonight. Built in WiFi with no dataplan was THE reason I wanted this phone. Why does my itouch have no problem connecting to wifi anywhere, but I'm having problems with the Wifi on my new phone? I have yet to find a wifi spot that I couldn't connect to with my Itouch. Sure, maybe I can get it to work if I keep playing with encryption types on my router, BUT what if some wifi hotspots I want to use are set to WEP and my phone can't connect? That's a problem. I'm liking this phone more and more, EXCEPT for the issue with the WiFi. I didn't try plain WPA because I wasn't sure what I needed to put for the IP addresses (am I supposed to use my IP found when I do an IPCONFIG?). I then changed my router back to wep and again, my phone detected my network, but it wouldn't accept my password. I checked my itouch 3G and it connected fine to the new encryption type and I was able to get onto the web fine. It just kept telling me it couldn't find the DNS server. I changed my router last night from wep to wpa-psk and it connected right away BUT I couldn't load any webpages. I enabled the password again, re-entered it on my phone and it won't connect with the password. Or do I have to allow access in my router or something?. I went in and disabled the password on my router and the Kin was able to connect fine. The phone is showing it as WEP, so I thought maybe there's a problem with the phone and WEP and maybe I should try another encryption. ![]() Anyone else have a problem getting WiFi to accept the password? My router is a Dlink. I then went into my router to make sure I didn't go and change the password at some point, but the password is what I've had it set to for years and what I'm trying to get the phone to accept. It's all numeric, and I thought maybe I was using the letter O instead of a zero, but the zero is up in the top row with all the numbers so that's not the problem. ![]() Now it's an easy password for me to remember, but I figured I better double check my password that I have written down and filed away, and I do have the correct password. I turned on Wifi and it's detecting my home network, but it won't recognize my password. 1st Tech Support couldn't get it programmed manually, but Tier II got it programmed. Like someone else said, I had to call Verizon to get it activated. ![]()
