    950 Unlocked Not Updating

    I have a 950 unlocked that was bought at a MS store. The carrier is att. The build is 218. It always says it's up to date. I know it isn't because my 950xl ( unlocked ) has a higher build number which is also through att. I tried the insider app with slow ring, still says up to date even after a...

    Screen Rotation Issue

    So my 950xl will not rotate its screen. I downloaded an app to check that everything is working as far as the gyro and acceleromawhatever. All appears to be working except the screen rotation. The setting is not toggled and I did a soft reset as well. I noticed this yesterday after the ms health...

    Favorite console?

    Original Xbox, hands down some of the best exclusives and original gaming experiences for me. I've had systems from an Atari as a kid, Sega master System, Genesis, N64, PS2, PC, etc. Even though I like PC more now, that Og Xbox sucked me in.

    After four long and wonderful years, I may be saying bye to Windows Phone.

    I'm actually excited for WP. I can't wait to see what's next for the platform. The os alone prevents me from switching. It's too unique, clean, and smooth. Them live tiles too. With the purchase of Nokias mobile division there is no turning back for MS. They know they have to compete, big. I...

    Random power down / reboot issues - revisited

    Ok, so what I did was used the Nokia recovery tool. It put me back to 8.0. I turned battery saver off for a couple days and let the battery cycle a few times. I re- installed 8.1. I've been running it this way for weeks and haven't had an issue. So something fixed it...

    Do you still use Windows 7?

    I haven't used 7 since 8 came out. I don't want to go back to it either, it just seems so outdated to me. Just from a design perspective 7 is too ugly.

    920 goes into airplane mode and black screen after unlock?

    Maybe not in your case. For me ppersonally I have seen better battery performance on top of over all improvements. I've been having issues with my phone as well. So after using the recovery tool and switching the battery toggle, its been great.

    920 goes into airplane mode and black screen after unlock?

    Nice, I'm glad it worked. Try keeping battery saver off and deplete the battery. Do a full charge and keep battery saver off afterwards. See how that works for awhile.

    Microsoft owns Skype... and GroupMe, why are they not owning messaging?

    I don't think he lives under a rock. Its just that him and his circle do what I do. We all have friends/family that have plans that allow us to message through sms/mms. Which eliminates any need for a messaging app between ourselves and our contacts. Theyre useless for people like us, and...

    920 goes into airplane mode and black screen after unlock?

    Ahh yeah, sorry. I read your post and somehow disregarded the title. If you have access to a PC, download and install Nokia Recovery tool. There will be an option for unresponsive phone. It will wipe your phone and restore it. If that's not an option or doesn't work then you'll have to replace...

    Microsoft owns Skype... and GroupMe, why are they not owning messaging?

    I'm surprised many people use messaging apps in general. In my case I just us the native messaging app on my phone with contacts that matter, and vice versa. Anybody else is usually Facebook. Facebook, because that's pretty much the internet social standard for the occasional check in. Skype as...

    920 goes into airplane mode and black screen after unlock?

    Toggle air plane mode on and off, toggle battery saver off if its on, let the battery drain completely, check to see if your region has been changed, and if nothing else do a reset.
