    Has Windows Hello stopped working for you with the Fall Creators Update?

    Managed to get mine working for Hello after a clean Fall install by installing the Intel SDK and just choosing the items not already installed which seemed to get it recognised as hello; however I'm getting the same issue as others with F200s. It will work briefly, and very well, but then it...

    Die hard windows fans

    No problem with the app gap or battery life on my 950XL and being dual sim it is ideal for me. I briefly switched to my work SIM in an Android phone but now have both work and personal back in the 950XL. I think I'll get another year out of the 950XL assuming it doesn't break which is great by...

    Windows 10 Preview build 14986 Discussion (Redstone 2; Fast Ring)

    I couldn't upgrade to this build for ages, first on fast, then trying on slow. It finally came down randomly, possibly based on the number of house lights switched on at the time and....I really really wish it hadn't. Edge takes 20-22 seconds to open. About 18 seconds to open a new tab...

    Free Display Dock via the Lumia Offers app on 950 XL?

    Re: Free Display Dock via the Lumia Offers app on 950 XL I tweeted @LumiaHelp and they were really quick in helping me. As mine was from Portugal they sent me the Portuguese link so I'm not sure if that will affect downloading (if it does then just tweet them as I did). https://t.co/TnA6Uo00DG...

    Free Display Dock via the Lumia Offers app on 950 XL?

    Re: Free Display Dock via the Lumia Offers app on 950 XL Hi Radovan, yep I ordered mine through FNAC Portugal as wanted dual SIM and I don't have the app installed on mine either. Unless someone can find the non-published download link not sure what can be done though I might try and contact...

    Getting rid of my 950xl, anyone else?

    No, I really like mine. My Mozo leather back had arrived before the phone so I’ve never used the plastic one it ships with so to me it feels very nice in the hand and it looks great with the silver sides. My 930 and 1520 felt very snappy with the latest insider build but the 950XL does feel...

    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    Definitely. Can't believe how good my 1520 still is after more than 20 months. The insider programme whilst still a little rough today is great, especially as it will continue. I have a 930 also which I picked up unlocked in January virtually new for ?200. Just hoping for a dual SIM 950XL as...

    The Times and Sunday Times Newspaper App (UK) Windows 10

    For those in the UK who like to read a newspaper in the morning we are rather short of apps to read them on Windows. Personally I do enjoy the Times on my commute into work and its the only real thing I use on my Shield tablet that I can't get on Windows. Now that there are finally some decent...

    How do I stop Windows 10 from installing?

    Don't suppose anyway to avoid this has come to light yet. Used insider to get update two on my 930 but in the excitement of 10080 accidentally clicked install on it rather than my work 1520 ( d'oh :-p). So its downloaded but not installed and given the experience on my 1520 with the build I...

    How is Mirrorlink on Windows Phone?

    Well, having just taken delivery of a 2015 Polo I have a vested interest in WP supporting Mirrorlink :-). Don't want to go down the route of taking a company Android phone and only have my WP as personal. Anyone with a WP10 preview phone please request Mirrorlink support, even if just in the...

    930 or wait for 1020 successor?

    Just done the same thing, picked up a 930 on ebay new unlocked for about ?220. 1020 has done me proud, especially on an Africa holiday but so used to my work 1520 now that I wanted the extra speed in general and for the camera with upcoming ski season :). Still hoping they make an absolute high...

    What is the best Micro SD card for the Lumia 535? Any recommendations??

    Any class 10 probably OK as you won't need massive speeds. Still no harm in getting a future proofed one, especially if at some point you get a future pureview lumia. I've got a Shield tablet and a SANDisk extreme didn't cut the mustard for gaming. Couldn't justify an Extreme Pro as a 64GB one...

    Blinkbox Enabling Ultraviolet for UK Xbox One and Win8

    Apologies if missed an article on this but todays Blinkbox announcement of UV support has finally given me a way to stream (if not yet download) Ultraviolet movies to Xbox One and Surface 2 (never managed to get the Flixster app that works in the US for UV in the UK). Nice announcement and if...

    Anyone in the preview program?

    Ditto here, can't cope with hearing about all the September etc features when I don't even have the August update yet. Really shouldn't have moved the 3D Blu-ray player 3 weeks ago :-p GT: BatteredPoisson
