    phone or calling app problem

    My 950XL developed a really weird bug. When I tap the phone app icon, instead of opening the phone app, it takes me to the store. Same happens if I tap the phone app in the menu. So basically I cannot call anyone that is not in my phonebook. I also cannot see missed calls, call history etc...

    DPI scalling still crap in FALL CREATORS UPDATE

    I read that MS will address the blurry fonts issue in Fall creators update, so we wouldn't have to log-out and log-in in order to get rid of blurry fonts when docking or undocking hi-res devices like surface. Only a restart of the app would be required. But guess what? It doesn't work, at least...

    Continuum vs. Dex

    I tried samsung's DEX yesterday on galaxy S8. First impression: this is how continuum should feel like. It is fast, snappy and working. I was toying with it for 15 minutes and it felt like a natural desktop experience, even if it is running on android. I tried some keyboard shortcuts and they...

    Creators update rant

    I mean, really? What is so significant, that MS had to call it "something" update?? It is so minor, it could easily be launched as normal patch tuesday update. We got nicer "settings". Wow, really. They are just repairing the damage they've done from 8.1 to 10. For example: VPN connection. They...

    Auto-rotate stops working

    Since two or three weeks I am experiencing following problem: Auto-rotate function just randomly stops working. Every day or maybe every other day. When I restart the phone, everything is ok again. I am on public release, not on developer preview. Is anyone else having similar issues?

    Does anyone use slow-motion video recording?

    The video quality is ridiculously low and there is no audio. And this is a big shame, because HW should definitely be capable to do it much better. It is so crappy I wonder if anyone actually uses it?

    The strangest thing happened: 950XL SW totally messed up/crashed

    This morning I suddenly noticed an interesting bug in notification center: there were strange names instead of apps, but everything seemed to be working fine. Then I decided to reboot and *poof*, my start menu was gone, instead there was only list of apps. I could open notification center...

    can anybody send SMS from a PC?

    I have SP4 with anniversary and 950XL with 10.0.14393.5. When I get a SMS to my phone, I can see it in notification centre on the PC. But, when I want to reply, the messaging app does not work (it does open, but messages cannot be sent, option is greyed out) and skype + messaging app cannot be...

    Youtube videos problem

    Whenever I open a youtube video in edge and tap play, it won't start. It starts playing only after I manually fast forward it a bit, then it's ok. Is it like this for everyone or is it just my phone? Currently running .107, but it was like this since first day (.29).

    Bluetooth issue - randomly disconnecting from headset - driving me crazy

    I have this problem since day one. Build .29, then came the FW update, then build .63, always the same. I did a hard reset three times since I have the phone but the problem is still here. And now to the actual problem: I have a plantronics voyager legend headset and sometimes during a call...

    Action shot, delete object etc. missing?

    I found out yesterday that these functions that I had on 930 are missing from my 950XL. I wanted to make an action shot, but all I could to is extract frames from the 4k video that I took. Is this really missing? Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

    Today I got several complains from people I was talking to over the phone, that it's extremely noisy and that they can hear echo of themselves. I then called my phone from other phone and it was like the noise cancelling wasn't working, it was awful. After a restart it was the same. I solved it...

    Is there an app capable of opening large PDF files?

    I have a problem, none of the following apps are capable of opening large (200MB+) PDFs: - adobe reader - MS PDF reader - PDF reader (PompolutZ) They all display the same error: iPad 1 and ipod touch 4.gen open these files without any problems, so the files are OK.
