    Cortana Woes

    At first I thought there was something wrong with my particular Lumia 950 XL that, in the first month, I basically destroyed by dropping it. I then switched to my free 950 and I have the same problem: Cortana is basically useless. I love the function on my PC whether I click the mic, type...

    Faint melody randomly sounds

    I listen to music on my commute every day while also using a handful of various apps. I notice occasionally I can hear this faint melody like a tone coming from my phone playing under the music.

I did a hard reset again and got some improvement but I noticed even with just moderate browsing IE shows huge consumption in the battery app. Is anyone else having this...

    I really like the transparent tiles and background images in 8.1 but I just think it would look so much sharper if all the apps supported the feature. One thing I particularly noticed was that even Microsoft's own apps do not support it. When I look at my home screen I see Lync, One Drive...
