    Played around with this art the ms store today and I had to resist the urge to pull out my credit card on the spot but I'm definitely getting one. The screen is amazing. Maybe as an Xmas gift to myself. Although the store said they wont have them in until January. Ah well my bday is in January...

    Can I bring my MS online purchased Surface Book to my local MS store for warranty replacement?

    My sb has gone bonkers and I figured the turnaround process might be quicker if I just took it to my local store. Perhaps they'd even give it to me the same day once they test it and see how f'd up it is. I have the total care warranty thingamajig they offer with it and it's still under warranty.

    So what killed the Band2?

    Lackluster sales? A different "company vision"? Eternally unsatisfied Windows Central users/trolls? It certainly wasn't lack of a quality product that could've been a slam dunk in the next iteration. I know we don't have any official word (we don't even know that they killed it yet) but am I...

Without stoning me to death can anyone enlighten me on the easiest way to transfer my contacts without having to individually enter each one?

    Latest firmware update broke Windows hello?

    Am I the only one who can no longer use Windows hello since the "sleep mode fixing" firmware update? Since I installed it the lock screen gets stuck on "turning on camera" when I boot up and I have to slide it up and enter my PIN.

    Cortana is interrupting my music

    So when I'm out for a run, Bluetooth headphones in, enjoying life, Cortana tells me I have a text and asks me if I want to read it or ignore it. Fine. Seems like a cool feature and useful in some situations. However when I'm running I don't want to have to reach for my phone to tell her...

    Do I need the Microsoft Display Dock to use Continuum?

    Can I just use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to plug it into the monitor? If I can just use a $10 adapter I'd rather go that route then the $100 display dock (which isn't in stock anyway).

    Not all of my apps are restoring after hard resets

    Am I doing something wrong here? I backed up a few days before a hard reset and there were a significant amount of apps that I had to go back into the store and download again. Is there some setting I'm missing?

    Issues Charging Battery After it Completely Dies?

    I'm well aware that these aren't flip phones and especially with some of the beefier hardware (ie. 950) it takes a while to get the phone to boot if you let it die completely. Until this point that "while" has usually been a few minutes. I let my battery completely die for the first time since...

    How do I get Cortana to Stop Notifying Me of new Texts?

    Cortana tells me when I have a new text and asks if I want to read or ignore it and she'll read it for me in her sweet-sounding voice. Cool feature and I think they should keep it, but at the moment it pauses my music and doesn't resume it regardless of whether I opt to ignore the text, let her...

    WhatsApp still makes noise when I send a message even when I turnoff sound.

    So I disabled sounds for key presses, etc through settings and even went I to "manage app sounds" and disabled sounds for WhatsApp in particular. Still when I send a text it makes this goofy noise. Am I missing something?

    I've been with Verizon since I was on my mom's family plan and eventually got my own so it's all I know. I know Verizon has the backup assistant that stores my contacts in the cloud. How do I go about storing them somewhere that I can them import onto my new phone when I switch to AT&T? Can I...

    Any Confirmation that the Display Dock Will Be in MS stores on the 20th?

    I've seen someone in here mention they saw them in a local store today. When I was ordering the 950 through AT&T they gave me the option to add a screen protector and the Display Dock but I got cold feet on the dock. Went back to the store later and it's nowhere to be found on AT&T's store...

    Is there a way to Suppress the Keyboard In Windows 10 Mobile?

    I started to post feedback via Windows feedback but figured I'd ask in case I'm missing something. Is there a way to manually slide the keyboard back down? Sometimes I accidentally tap some sort of text input area and sometimes the keyboard just decides it wants to be seen. Sometimes when this...
