Hey all. I switched from my 950XL this week to a (shudder) Note 9 - got it on a good deal. After loading SquareHome and as many MS apps that I can find, it's feeling more and more like something I can live with. I needed the expandable memory, so Samsung was the easy way to go. I've been...

I hear ya. I have done SO MUCH research to find a shooter that's as good as my 950XL - I even found a professional photographer that uses one as his daily shooter! Right now, my replacement phone is going to be the Note 9. I'd go with a Pixel 3 or the 6T, but the memory isn't expandable, and I...

I'm still on my 950xl (I'm writing this post on it!) - it does everything I need it to do, and those things it won't do, I'll do on my laptop. Sometimes it's a pain, but it gets the job done. I was afraid I would be switching soon (and probably to a Note 8) when Facebook/Messenger died, but...

I'm now using LikeBook - it's WAY faster than the regular FB and Messenger apps (which I haven't touched in weeks), and it works.

I'm still here as well, although I am planning a move to a Note 8 when things start getting [B]really[B] wonky. So far, my 950 XL is still working. Every now and then (becoming more and more frequent) I have to soft reboot, take out the battery, resend texts, but as long as I can keep working...

I'm still using my 950XL. A lot of resets and pulling the battery, so I'm thinking things are not looking good to be able to get through the summer. Currently, the Note 8 is looking like a good replacement.

Same here concerning Andromeda.

Hey all. So Ward and Rubino have gone the route of embracing Android (with MS tweaking), and they're imploring all of us holdouts to move over before December when MS cuts the thread. Sounds like a great idea, but what if you CAN'T do it? My 950XL is cranky. I have to reboot (or take the...

My best comment on this: At a high school reunion, a friend of mine who has a vlog on how to make the best of smartphone cameras (and used to appear on TV for this reason), took a picture for me with my 950XL. She started setting up the shot, then said, "wow...great camera!" She then played...

Do you ever feel that AI is secretly following your every move, ready to take over at a moment's notice when the time arrives? I'm beginning to wonder... For the last 3-4 months, Cortana will come on without anyone ever saying the magical words, "Hey Cortana." I can be in the middle of a...

Hey all. First the basics - HP Envy 360, Windows 10 Home 64-bit, Windows Insider Program, Slow Ring (just moved there recently). I've got an update (10.0.117738.1000 (RS5_RELEASE) that has been downloaded and is awaiting install, but it won't update. Every time I boot up, Windows Update says...

Hey all. My 950XL has stopped loading a number of apps, but not all of them. Any idea why, and how can I remedy this? I've tried soft reset, taking the battery out, and uninstall/install. No soap. Thanks!

I don't know if MS can make live tiles work in an Android world...

Nate: did you have the same error code, and did that fix the issue? I want to know if this is a camera hardware issue or something with the main board (which would be more of a PITA to replace). Thanks!

I agree with the above. That's part of the reason why I'll be opening up my 950XL to fix the front camera. It will take a while for Andromeda to get the bugs worked out, although it could be in heavy beta testing right now (rumors apparently to that). Also, this is a new version of the W10 OS...
