Windows phone tips

[nadeem_k]

Hi Guys,

I recently moved from Android to Windows phone and so far its been quite cool.

I have a number of small "issues" that I am trying to resolve to was hoping there are ways around them

• In the dialer, I would like to type in the first few letters of the person's name and the name comes out. This doesn't seem possilbe with the windows phone dialer
• How do I attach a dropbox file in an email response
• How to change the browser settings to default on south african sites first

I was hoping to also create this thread for people to post any cool tips they may have found on windows phone

1. The dialer issue has always been an issue for me with windows phone 8. I think this is fixed with windows phone 10. I use am app called Rapdialer as my default dialing app.

2. No way to do this in replies to emails. You can share a file via email directly from the OneDrive app. Not sure if you can do this from the dropbox app.

3. Not sure. Never needed to do this.

Cant help you with questions 2 and 3 but use the search function i.s.o the dailer to access your contacts.

I think the email app in W10 Mobile will allow you to attach a file direct from within the email. I hope so!
