    Any Windows Phones Still Functioning?

    Surprised, but happy for you. My non-VoLTE 950 is now relegated to wi-fi duty. As for browsing, I've been running Edge for years on it. And for .pdfs, I have PDF Viewer Plus installed. Enjoy and Go 640!

    Mapping alternative?

    Now finally full-time on android, I've also settled on HERE WeGo.

    Square Home, angroid questions

    LG has a Glance screen, including a nice bird image and tweet that I flushed out yesterday. So, pretty set on these matters. I'd delete thread if I could/new how. As if it mattered...

    New Lumia 1020 in 2022 - HELP!

    T-M has dropped coverage for plain LTE along with 3G: it requires VoLTE capacity specifically -at least here it does.

    New Lumia 1020 in 2022 - HELP!

    I can only tell you that the first three are still working fine on my 950; Maps with voice assistance as always. I don't know the game, and Instagram not for a long time. Of course, you need to expect that the platform weakens regularly, and you have to have a prepped backup on deck. Besides...

    Square Home, angroid questions

    Very much in a learning mode, and happy to learn today that I can pin a link to a home tile. Big for my needs. Would still welcome hearing about Glance screen experience. Also really need this or need to learn/have much better text notification in particular. I have smartwatch alerts that are...

    New Lumia 1020 in 2022 - HELP!

    I still use an 8.1 1020 for an occasional supplementary photoshoot, but with Win 10 on your old one, I'm sure you are way ahead of me. I've been a Lumia 950 holdout until today because T-Mobile cut non-VoLTE phones off as of yesterday -a month ahead of its announced-to-users July 1 scheduled...

    Square Home, angroid questions

    T-Mobile pulled the plug on my Lumia 950 yesterday -a month ahead of its no-more-non-VoLTE-phones schedule; so, this is my first full day with a nice LG V30. I'm using Square Home and I've gotten to learn and like it pretty well, considering. For SH users, present or past, is there any way to...

    Windows Phones in 2020

    Sadly but surely, I'm seeing the beginning of the Angroid Tunnel now, as t-mobile, along with dropping its 3G service, is dropping non-voLTE phones, and that includes my 4G 950. I can confirm that my 2 on-deck (and T-M-worthy) angroids have all my Outlook contacts without an active gmail account...

    Why wont media player see my music folder

    Still surprises me when these exchanges ignore an OS(s) reference, as if. I rarely use it on my Win 7 setup, but it still launches, displays my ~100GB-collection immediately, and plays it as ever with the play key, etc.. Same for Zune. WMP shows my collection folder (D:\My Music) under Organize...

    Windows Phones in 2020

    I'm still using my 950 daily, but I do have 2 angroids as backup to use ad hoc with a few apps, in case you may still want to consider that OS. I still barely know angroid, and I don't use gmail either, so I can only suggest a lead or a clue. I use a bunch of Microsoft apps on the two phones...

    ATT: Call Dropped

    How long have you owned/used your XL and used it on att? Had you used any other carrier and might that be an option? Or did I miss this? T-Mobile is an option, I'd guess. I'm haaappily and thaaaankfully stilll using my 950 daily on T-Mobile. I had seen the 950 on attt's (good-to-go/continue...

    Customization, yes; PLUS, the availability of many diverse phones.

    Screen Glitching Few Minutes After Unlock

    That's a shame. I don't know much about this, but I'd guess that it's a screen issue, maybe a combination of screen-related ones, and not likely software. I have a 950 and a 1020 and have never experienced this, even temporarily. You were smart to get a returnable device, and I would definitely...

    Get Pro 7+ now or wait for Pro 8?

    I welcome the release of the SP8, so I can find an even better deal on a (probably black) 6 or 7. I don't need the performance and screen improvements of the 8 (or even 7+), nor the new ports, and I still want the USB-A port and especially the SD card slot that are no longer featured on the 8...

    Surface Pro screen / battery bulge

    FWIW, I'm still using a SP2 with its cool, no-longer-available purple keyboard, and that has never had the heat and bulge problems you are reporting for your SPs. The chances of you finding the answer you're seeking here are slim. I'm shopping for a new SP, and I have not heard of your problem...

    Lumia 950 XL goes for a trip!

    Hi there. Maps still works, as it always has, on my 950, thankfully; and in my car, through bluetooth, is the only way I use it. I just ran it yesterday to navigate to a park, precisely for guidance around a neighborhood road-closing that just went up last week. It did it very well, routing me...

    Mapping alternative?

    Thank you for the suggestion: Waze sure is the WC peoples' choice. FWIW, I've installed Waze and HERE WeGo. I like them both, though I rely on the latter mostly because its displays are less busy with every fast food and other advertisers along my routes. On occasions that I need that, I run...

    How do you pocket (carry) your phones?

    Simple: I've been avoiding bigger and newer since the 950XL for this important reason. I use three "normal" phones: a Lumia 950 daily, an LGV30 (because of its DAC), and a Sony XZ1 Compact (because of its compactness, of course, and because even my other "normals" are still big) (the angroids...
