    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    I would give it to my wife as she is running a 950 At&t and is not happy with the crashes she is getting while my unlocked 950XL dualsim is running like a champ.

    Lumia 950 - Cracked Screen

    So I finally fixed my wife's 950. Using the 1mm 3M tape from amazon was mostly sufficient. However, on the upper part where all the holes for the camera, proximity sensor, etc are its a bit finicky. The problem is that there are gaskets for said sensors, which seem to push the screen up again...

    is the lumia 640 compatible with chromecast?

    Let me rephrase a little and split your question: Will you be able to mirror your screen in all situations to Chromecast? - No Can you use it with 3rd party apps? - Yes I use Tubecast (which is a great app in conjunction with Video 360, same dev) and that will let you cast any video from...

    Lumia 950 - Cracked Screen

    I think it doesn't matter what phone, except maybe that Moto "Unshatterable", if it falls on concrete face down and hits a small raised piece of concrete or stone, its done. Its glass after all and hence its brittle, though very hard its still fragile.

    Lumia 950 - Cracked Screen

    Must have been a bad day as my wife smashed her Lumia 950 screen the same day. Snow everywhere, but it had to fall on the only bit of concrete around :) . So I bought a screen off ebay which arrived a few days ago and despite it not showing the MS logo on the auction picture, it actually is a...

    I was excited when Tiny Troopers 2 was announced. However, I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the store. When I click on windows phone store download links on other websites, it resources to MS but says the page cannot be found. Lumia 830 with W10M 10166 build. Anybody else with the same issue?

    Feature of sharing apps with others is coming to windows 10 mobile???

    Actually, I think what he would like to do, is share a purchased app across other devices (ie in your family). In Windows 8.1 on Windows RT or on PC that is possible, but not on the phone. Apple lets users do this across IOS as well as MACOS devices. Obvioulsy both MS and Apple place...

    So after having a few hours at work to digest MS latest addition......

    My answer and lesson in life is, "Never judge a thing before you tried it!" I just went to the MS store as I was looking for the kitchen sink device, the Fitbit Surge comes darn close but the Band, being an MS device and supporting any platform I might ever choose, just nailed it. I have been...

    Thank you Nokia Support!

    I have to agree with Nokia support, I have a CR 200 Qi car charger and the clamping mechanism broke 1 week after the 12 months accessory warranty ran out. They however sent me a new one after they registered that the FEDEX shipping number showed movement (I could have put a big Thank You sticker...

    Lumia 625 strange issue

    When you check for updates, it will only check for system updates, but not App updates. If you download SysAppPusher, that will check for Nokia Apps like Here Maps and Drive and also Extras and Info, etc and you can then click on for example Here Maps in the app and it will guide you to the...

    Nokia apps?

    I will try the Proxy method that is there on Windows Phone where you can trick it into installing all Windows Phone apps that are not meant for your region or phone.

    an observation, inverteted graphics when turning off

    I am seeing the same thing, other than that it is working ok (apart from the bitlocker - lockout after running some update).

    Anyone else just have an update needing a Bitlocker Recovery Key?

    My wife had the same issue and was NOT impressed! Going to the website windows.microsoft.com/recoverykey I was able to retrieve the key but not being able to tell my wife why this had happened left her with a sour feeling - Happy wife, happy life! (You know what I am saying ;) )

    Hello Guys, I have a Surface Pro 2 128GB and since the beginning I had issues with the buttons in IE11 and Skype being scrambled - i.e. appeared crossed out, not legible. When I changed the scaling of apps it improved somewhat but as you can see in the attached pictures it is still a major...

    I had tethering not working on my Lumia 920 with GDR2 + Amber on the ATT DEV ROM, it was working briefly after the Spanish keyboard install but stopped shortly thereafter. I tried going back to the Stock ATT Rom which of course did not work, regardless of how far you flashed back. Now after...
