    Turn by Turn Navigation Questions

    All right so I have had my Lumia 950 for about 2 months now, and enjoy it for the most part. Switched from iOS, but one of the biggest things I use my phone for other then music in my car is GPS (turn by turn). The issues is when plotting a route short/long doesn't matter the maps stops working...

    SB i7/256/8 slight bulge on the back of tablet from heat?

    I would get it looked at/swapped. This is more then likely due to a battery bulge in the tablet. Same thing can happen to phones etc... 70-85 is a normal threshold in CPU/GPU intensive task on a thin metal machine. My old Razer Blade would hit the hot 90+ temp but it is all aluminum, and it...

    surface book 2 or new suface book I7

    I agree as well, and some are saying it will be unlikely or not showing up until the RedStone update. I was in the same boat and I am not even worrying about it now as I'm enjoying my SurfaceBook! To add to that if the i7 SkyLake and GPU meet the needs of what all you'll need in your computer...

    Lumia 950 Cortana + Bluetooth Music + Navigation issues

    Yeah I am going to try new hardware it seems my old Blackberry visor mount is a concern as well, I mean heck I got it in 2011. The new Bluetooth visor mounts I tried seem to handle the audio from navigation etc better. I will update if that does help, from early testing seems to be the case.

    Lumia 950 Cortana + Bluetooth Music + Navigation issues

    Hey all new Lumia 950 owner here just wanted to see if anyone has had similar issues. When streaming Music via Bluetooth audio (Car Visor mount) Music works fine. As soon as I have navigation going (Turn by Turn) Cortana is either muffled or quiet or like misses half the direction. For...

    New Surface Book with Performance Base i7/16GB/1TB shutdown overnight while in Sleep Mode

    You are exactly right! I just wanted to clarify it for anyone reading the thread and for the OP. Also I am not on insider either Surface Book is my daily driver and, not enough time to test builds. I can however stress test insider this weekend and see if I stumble upon similar things. Also by...

    Want to buy a new battery but a legit one

    I know they were on eBay for 21-25 dollars brand new and OEM, plus return policy if you have issues.

    Macbook Pro Retina to Surfacebook impressions and thoughts

    That's the first one on my list to work on! As long as Google doesn't pull the APIs or block it looking to essentially make it a browser\app combo to skirt their rules :-)

    New Surface Book with Performance Base i7/16GB/1TB shutdown overnight while in Sleep Mode

    Also to clarify my point on hibernate, some people notice/think there machine was shut down when the press the power button after say 5 hours and see the Surface Logo like it was shutdown. Anyways to test Hibernate just swap your power button to hibernate instead of sleep. Leave open Edge...

    Macbook Pro Retina to Surfacebook impressions and thoughts

    Thanks for the reply on the spacing hopefully that fixed it. Something was off with the website and Edge in developer mode causing spaces to not function correctly which is why I used "/" to represent the breaks lol. Anyways should fix the format for the thread. I actually worked for Apple for...

    New Surface Book with Performance Base i7/16GB/1TB shutdown overnight while in Sleep Mode

    I agree with what others have said, let the system settle in and check store for App updates etc... Also check your hibernate settings on battery etc, and battery saver. It can put the machine into hibernate/deep sleep, which will act like the system is fully off. Most issues I had were within...

    Macbook Pro Retina to Surfacebook impressions and thoughts

    Thank you sir! I tried a 650 and man loved all my old data from 2012 came back sms and pics pretty impressive. I ordered a Lumia 950 now to see how Windows mobile 10 works on faster hardware. I forgot how much I missed it! Mainly checking if it syncs well with Surface Book which seems like it will!

    Walnut Skin

    That is pretty solid, I was tempted to go with one of those. I ended up getting the Skinomi Skin as it has the spine points as well. I am curious does the sides stay together well enough...

    Macbook Pro Retina to Surfacebook impressions and thoughts

    Yeah I completely agree, it could be so easily adopted if carriers and other OEM's adopted/marketed it but sadly that is not the case, maybe innovative software/hardware on a Surface Phone device could swing users and apps to the market share plus UWP. I have always been in the boat with a...

    Macbook Pro Retina to Surfacebook impressions and thoughts

    Hey all, I am still fairly new to the Surface Book, but recently traded my 2015 MacBook Retina for dGPU 256 Surface Book! I am loving it and first switched due to the new MacBook announcements being very underwhelming/more expensive. I have only had it for a month now, but now using Cortana...
