Microsoft to patch Windows Phone 8 rebooting issue

Blair McClelland November 29, 2012 Mobile, Smartphone

Some early adopters of Windows Phone 8 devices such as the Nokia Lumia 920 and Windows Phone 8X by HTC have discovered that their new devices are prone to randomly rebooting, presumably due to stability issues.

The latest reports are suggesting that Microsoft believes that they have identified the issue and plan to issue an over the air update sometime in December.

There have been no suggestions as to what has been causing some users' phones to randomly reboot but WPCentral believe it could be due to memory allocation or incompatibility issues with legacy Windows Phone 7.x applications.

KitGuru says: Outside of minor problems such as this, the launch of Windows Phone 8 has been rather smooth for Microsoft.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
