How does this compare to or interact with the existing Nokia GLANCE screen etc.?  Or is this just meant to replace the existing 'lockscreen' (I have mine set to bing at the moment).

Thanks for any clarification.

It's a separate app so I don't think it interacts at all with it.  This app lets you select multiple wallpapers to change at selected intervals if you want.  It can also pull from Bing images.

I have had an app udate that has borked my ability to add, edit or deletc contacts.

Before when I went to my contacts page I could enter the person's name phone number and other contact details, now I just get option to add or edit accounts of my own,  which is useless to me because I have a list of new contacts I cannot add to my phone.

One explanation I've been offered is the retirement of the old Skype and its useless successor, that it now handles contact details, etc. However, that's not what I signed up for.  I don't want Skype or anything like it handling my contacts list.  I just want to be able to tap my 'People' tile on the front page, get up a page where I can add contact details and simply close it once the relevant details are recorded.

Now what I get is a page offering me options to create Google, Facebook and Twitter type accounts, none of which I want.  Worse still, if the update to Skype is responsible, I cannot uninstall it because I get a warning saying that I may render the phone inoperable should I continue.  Like WTF, I've never used Skype, never wanted it and sure as hell didn't install it of my own volition... and now I have to have it like it or not?

I've searched high and low to find a way to manage my contacts, but alas, it seems to have disappeared with the arrival of this new Skype POS

one of the first things i do is uninstall skype after i do a hard reset. uninstalling it won't hinder the operation of the phone at all. as to the issue with your contacts, i've never heard of that one.

what os are you using, 8.0 or 8.1? i had numerous issues after updating to 8.1. even after doing a hard reset and restoring, i had the issues. only after a hard reset and setting the phone up as a new device, did my 1520 operate correctly. maybe that is your corrective action, starkers. don't call nokia. their tech support is rather worthless, in my opinion.

regarding that lock screen app, ID posted about, it'll be a nice app once the bugs are worked out. with it installed, i kept getting "resume" or "loading" screens after swiping up on the lock screen before the start screen would appear. most imes it was just a few seconds before the start screen would talk to me but every now and then it would take close to two minutes for the "loading" dialog to disappear and then the phone would reboot. i tried the 'kids corner' fix but it didn't help so i removed the app and everything is back top normal.

Has anyone tried the new folders feature?

Neowin has a video demo of it.
