    Anyone losing 5G band on wifi constantly?

    I'm not really sure what have fixed mine, but since a soft reset plus system update (14267), 5G has being working perfectly for me. So the bug is definitely not an interference issue, at least not in my case

    Anyone losing 5G band on wifi constantly?

    Nope. I have three routers at my house, all using the same wifi configuration so that my devices can roam when necessary. Nothing else, certainly not from my neighbors. And I don't have this issue with previous builds... thanks for your suggestions though

    Photo App issue: some videos showing as blank in grid view

    All my videos seem to be fine, and I can actually see the thumbnails on the file app, just not in the Photo app... I also compared file info of those with black thumbnail to those normal, and they all are saved to micro sd card with same format (recorded by this phone...), same frame rate, all...

    Photo App issue: some videos showing as blank in grid view

    when browsing for photo/videos in photo app, only about 20% videos are showing up correctly, but others are just showing up blank (as attached). All videos can be played normally, and they are all on the same SD card. There are huge videos files that are showing up correctly, so I don't think it...

    MicroSD Adapter that's Flush with Chassis?

    I used this one: http://www.amazon.com/MiniDrive-microSD-Adaptor-Universal-ports/dp/B00AOTJB5C?t=wpcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3288052 It is much shorter than the slot on the book. Once you push it in (it comes with a tool), you can fold the tab into the slot as well. So...

    For those whose band not getting general notification with 10581

    My band has no problem syncing, is getting email notifications, and works with Cortana but it never gets general notifications. I had the same issue with 10576 as well. It turns out that the reason is Microsoft Health app has no permission to notifications. I guess initially when the health app...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    I'm not quite sure why 950/950XL would have limited band support... according to Qualcomm, 808/810 has built-in support for: Integrated X10 LTE, with Global Mode supporting LTE FDD, LTE TDD, WCDMA (DB-DC-HSDPA, DC-HSUPA), CDMA1x, EV-DO, TD-SCDMA and GSM/EDGE Cat 9 speeds of up to 450 Mbps with...

    Crazy battery drain outta nowhere :(

    Similar things happened to me 3 times. One of them is caused by Skype (When Skype is the problem, your phone will have problem syncing your main email account), the other two are caused by Facebook app (both times I stayed a couple of hours in my doctor's office where no cell signal, no wifi...

(try to press the update button on Mail app). If this is the case, you will need to uninstall skype, then restart. This just...

    Why not Micro-HDMI to HDMI? Cost $1 on ebay and works pretty good ( not that tight connection compared to MS's due to the 22 degree angle)

    Wireless charging destroying battery?

    Sometimes official apps are not that reliable after all. Facebook app and Skype (both by Microsoft) sometimes cause very severe battery drain too, to the extend that the phone feels HOT without doing anything. It turns out that some kind of server sync error will put Facebook app/Skype into an...

After a full day of heavy use (2-3 hours of gaming, 2.5 hours of movie streaming, several hour's web browsing, 100% brightness, turns nothing off), still 20%... p.s there is an update being pushed out today, maybe...
