    For all of you hating on the articles about moving to iOS. My experience.

    I originally posted a version of this in the comments to the article about 5 tips for moving to iOS. Windows phone/mobile diehards had plenty negative to say about that article, along with the one yesterday about things converts will love about the iPhone. I don't expect that I'll change...

    Windows 10-Windows Update stuck, how to fix it?

    Re: Windows 10-Windows Update stuck, how to fix it I've a similar question. Got a new desktop for Xmas. HP Envy, with win 10 already loaded. Got it turned on and set up and ran the updates to get latest iteration. I have same exact issue as you, only mine was such at 12%. Like, for a loooong...

    How can I get Amazon Prime streaming music on my Icon?

    Hi. Sorry, not a Groove question, but it is music related and not sure where else to put it. Anyone know if there's a way to listen to songs from my Amazon music library on my Icon? Specifically, would love to be able to download some of my Prime albums to my phone for offline use. Amazon...

    Why isn't my UC Browser working on my ICON? Anyone else?

    UC Browser not working on ICON. Anyone else Hi, just noticed yesterday that I can't bring up UC Browser on my Icon. There is still a tile for it, but it's greyed out and I can't select it. It's also in my apps list, but again, I push it and nothing happens. Anyone know what gives? Was working...

    Why Microsoft is using old Snapdragon processors

    I just looked them up after seeing your post. The Turing isn't necessarily my cup of tea, design wise, but it is a beauty and it's certainly eye-catching. That new android blackberry looks great, too. Hoping for a super sexy MS flagship phone that can sit proudly next to the latest iphones...

    Why Microsoft is using old Snapdragon processors

    Amen to that. The new flagships coming out better be things of beauty with some really amazing things on offer design wise. Look at the latest galaxy (edge in particular) and the lg g4; they're beautiful. If MS releases a plain ol' slabs similar to icon, etc they will be doomed to failure right...

    Where's all the new hardware?

    Seems WC has been very light on new hardware announcements lately. Is it just the time of year? Specifically, I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive tablet among the lines of the hp stream or Asus vivotab. Those have both been out for some time, though, so would prefer something with newer...

    Yahoo and gmail mail app

    I have two Yahoo mail accounts on my Icon and neither will let me send messages out. I can receive no problem, but anytime I try to send it comes back undeliverable and goes to my draft folder. Anyone else with the same experience?

    Nice. Straight out of the cam? Any post processing? What setting settings did you use?

    Bought Surface 3 - Regrettably returned.

    I wonder if your issues with the ASUS were specific to the fact it had a Stylus or not? The one in the MS Store is not the Vivotab Note 8 but rather just the Vivotab 8. It does not include a stylus. Not sure how different it really is, though. Like I said, specs look good for the price, and the...

    Bought Surface 3 - Regrettably returned.

    Hopefully they offer it again. I was a little hasty in my earlier response. I have no illusions that the vivotab's build quality would match the S3. I'm just indecisive between a S3, SP3, maybe seeing what a SP4 brings to the table, or going for some kind of ultrabook. In the meantime, I'm...

    Bought Surface 3 - Regrettably returned.

    Would you steer them to Asus? How is build and durability? I've been seriously considering the Asus vivotab 8 (not the vivotab note), which is $149 in MS store with 2gb ram and office 365 for a year. 8" screen. Debating between it and a surface...
