    Windows 10 stylus

    This is ..... actually a good question, I haven't used my pen since I've upgraded and it's been rolling around in my bag. It's entirely possible that the battery is dead on mine, so I'll order one and try again. The instructions on Dell, at least for Windows 8 is basically as follows "install...

    Does anyone's wifi work?

    So since moving to Windows 10 starting from the beta, I've always randomly had some wifi issues, there was one that would not reconnect after sleep, which was fixed at some point. That said, the only thing I still occasionally have is that while the toggle switch shows "on" there are no wifi...

    Windows 10 Preview update prompt .... that actaully worked?

    Notes so far for the day. 1) Open up your messages, it will prompt you to walk through the new skype integration, you don't have to accept it, but if you don't do it, even though it will receive and store your messages, it won't notify you that you have any text messages until you do. 2) Has...

    Windows 10 Preview update prompt .... that actaully worked?

    So now that the phone is actually supported by the Windows Recovery Tool, I decided to reinstall the Windows Insider App on the off chance that they might, eventually, add the Lancet. So I got the pop-up this morning and figured, what the hell, at least if I brick it I have a way to fix it this...

    I screwed up...kind of...

    I did have to use flash mode, but it came up right away. You might need to either check for updates (as that's what the program use to do before the last update recognized the Lancet) or check to see if you have a bad usb cable, that's happened to me before.

    2nd slot RAM

    Yeah, the most I've ever seen someone do is hard wire a small usb thumbdrive inside the case. But that's just soldering 5 pinouts. Honestly, I don't even think they left room on the board for a second ram slot and trying to solder it would be impossible outside of a production environment. The...

    Install apps to SD card

    I have, but not from a clean install, and haven't installed any new apps yet, but I have app / documents / pictures defaulted to save to my SD. It's a really nice option specially on the 32 gig model.

    Help with my DV8P!

    Are you downloading Windows 10 or the insider preview versions? If the later, then you need to stop the update, there's a bug in the last update and has been reported but not fixed. If you're just downloading the standard Windows 10 update, you might need to turn off Secure Boot from the Boot...

    I screwed up...kind of...

    I screwed up...kind of...

    That's .... going to be interesting, as the windows phone recovery tool only works for Lumia's and I'm pretty sure the only other supported device is the HTC. I got a feeling you're device is bricked and there isn't much they can do because I doubt they have an update for the lancet to being...

    Why isn't fast ring getting newer builds?

    Re: fast ring not getting newer builds I'm pretty sure after you update to the official release, you have to re-subscribe to insider fast ring under advanced settings. If you are already then there might be something wrong with your current build and need to do a refresh. The last build that...

    LG Lancet Bugs + Defects Thread

    So ... 2 things: 1) Advanced Calling doesn't seem to exist on this phone. 2) I know it's boiler plate, but your refrence to "Windows Phone Recovery Tool" is inaccurate as it currently only supports Nokia and HTC phones. And while we're at it, there's absolutely no mention of this thing...

    Advanced Calling 1.0 feature through Verizon

    2.Tap Settings Settings icon. 3.Tap cellular+SIM. 4.Tap SIM settings. 5.Tap the Advanced Calling switch. Is what is says for the Nokia 735, however, that doesn't exist. It does say for the Lancet that all that is required is to enable the feature on the account and reboot for the phone to...

    No Internet while making calls with Verizon

    2.Tap Settings Settings icon. 3.Tap cellular+SIM. 4.Tap SIM settings. 5.Tap the Advanced Calling switch. So this option literally doesn't exist in any of the settings on the LG Lancet. According to Verizon, as long as you subscribed to the Advance Calling Feature, all that's needed is a...

    Trying out Win10 Build 10162

    Be aware in this latest build there is a screen lock rotation option that is enabled by default, you can swipe in from the right and turn if off. Also, yes, they'd like you to have a "stable" system before doing a bios update that might fail in the middle of an update due to a bad driver.
