  1. Get SnapChat for Windows Phones

    Basically every phone out there other than windows phones have snapchat which leaves these users out of the loop with everyone else.

        • WP8 VPN

          Windows Phone needs VPN connectivity. Need I say more? Android has it. iOS has it. ****, even BB has it. If WP is to succeed in this increasingly "on the go" and mobile market, its users have to have VPN connectivity.

            • Allow installation of apps from Store without setting up "My Family"

              Kindly allow people of age 13 and above to use the phone to it's fullest (by which I mean downloading apps from Windows Phone Store) without requiring parents having to setup "My Family" in cases where the parents have not set Windows Live Family Safety integration. This is perfectly doable (I don't know of any any law that dispermits it), and if I am correct is done by the rivalling mobile platforms.

              • Please update the fonts for Myanmar/Burmese fonts

                Dear Microsoft,

                I would like you to give advise to update the fonts for Myanmar/Burmese Fonts. Nowadays Myanmar is start developing in Mobile market. All the Andriod and other phone can use with Myanmar Fonts but your Windows 8 phone can't use. I'm also a Windows phone customer since WP 6.5 that can install fonts easily because we can see windows files system. So we can install with our ways. Please try to update it as soon as possible.

                Thanks,
                Myo Han

                      • Install XAP-Files without SD-Card

                        The new function for WP8 to install Apps using an SD-Card and the XAP-File that can be downloaded from the Online Store (PC) is NOT working for some WP8 devices! For example the Lumia 920 DOES NOT have a SD-Card Slot. Installing via SkyDrive and Email didn't work either. Please add a function to install these Apps via the internal memory for these devices.

                        • n'ko

                          Mes vœux aujourd'hui c'est de voire ma langue n'ko incorporé dans les appareils surtout les phones qui sont accessibles à bon marché par les africains sur tous les parleur de cette langue n'ko qui font plus de 300000 dans l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
                          Cela pourra augmenté l'achat des ces outils par la plupart de la population qui ne savent que ce langue et leur facilitera de bien comprendre le monde extérieur et de facilite l'apprentissages des autres langues comme l'anglais, le chinois, l'arabe et le français.
                          Merci

                              • Lithuanian keyboard

                                Add a small function for lithuanian keyboard managing. The function should let user to hide unwanted symbols in lithuanian keyboard such as "ė". (On the right side of keyboard) It is very annoying to type a message, when all important symbols are pushed to the left edge. Also, because of those extra characters the keyboard becomes narrower. It is hard to type with big fingers and even then you are using a small device like Nokia Lumia 620. Thank you, and apologies for my english.

                                    • Option to auto silent notifications at night

                                      I think there should be an option in the settings to auto silent notifications at night if the phone would be with the screen facing down. This way you wouldn't have to silent your phone before you go to sleep, the e-mail or sms notifications wouldn't disturb you while sleeping and in case of an emergency you could still receive urgent phone calls.

                                      • nko est demendez sur Windows phone

                                        Mes vœux aujourd'hui c'est de voire ma langue n'ko incorporé dans les appareils surtout les Windows phones qui sont accessibles à bon marché par les africains sur tous les parleurs de cette langue n'ko qui font plus de 40millions dans l'Afrique de l'Ouest.
                                        Cela pourra augmenter l'achat des ces outils par la plupart de la population qui ne savent que ce langue et leur facilitera de bien comprendre le monde extérieur et de facilite l’apprentissage des autres langues comme l'anglais, le chinois, l'arabe et le français.
                                        Merci

                                          Having gone through a lot of the existing entires in here, I realise that this request is the same as some others, however, they are either old, referring to the 20mb limit, or closed incorrectly by Mobile Guru (http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/2138709-allow-download-of-podcasts-and-apps-over-20mb-on-c)

                                          At present, on WP8, it is not possible to disable the restriction for application and game downloads. It is set to something around 50mb. I really do not think this is acceptable to not be able to be disabled by the user. I get unlimited data, and I want to use it.

                                          Please add an option to bypass the…
