    Did MS Ruin Skype?

    Yes, the MS organization style broke it. Would they have left Skype separate, it would probably be still a key messenger. I've been involved with Skype since 2004. The sale to eBay, the taking back and then selling to MS. Went through it all. The key market change that broke Skype is the huge...

    Lumia 950 Rebooting...

    Started to have this issue with 15254.248. Bought a new battery, no change. Upgraded to 15254.249 and also no change. Phone reboots several times per day - very annoying.

    Build 15254.249 is available.

    I tried upgrading to this on my 950, but it errors and says the "time and date" settings are incorrect and it can not install. Time/date and time zone are set to automatic and correct.

    Impossible to get into Insider program with Lumia 830

    Make sure you set the option correct in Privacy. On diagnostic you need to select "Full" and the option below you need to set to "Automatic". Then you will be able to get into the insider rings again. I had the same issue with my 950, took me a day to figure this out.

    Lumia 950 Reboots

    Have the reboot issue since I am on 15254.248. I changed the battery, no change. It does not reboot when it is on the charger. This started about a week ago. Till then not a single problem. Reboots randomly about 3-6 times per day. I've not found why.

    Can not disable SD-card Device Encryption - any ideas?

    I noticed that unchecking the option (although it goes to ON right after), eventually disabled the encryption. So I have now been able to deactivate it totally - no change so ordered a new battery :)

    Can not disable SD-card Device Encryption - any ideas?

    My 950 has been rebooting out of the blue recently and I thought I would try to disable the device protection on it to see if that helps. There are two on/off switches. One for the device, one for the SD card. I can tick the option for the SD card but it goes back to on right away. The main...

    Possible retrenchment from MS

    Now with Groove gone, I think MS is slowly pulling out of consumer business.

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15252 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Working really well on my 950. No issues. Does drain a bit, but maybe it needs some time. Updated Skype to 12.4 seems to have improved the battery drain rate. I really hope the heating stops, I use photos app a lot and camera too - perhaps the solved bugs will help resolve some strange...

    Lumia 950 heat and battery drain.

    Have heat issues too, it is related to the hardware I think (2yrs old). But with 15252 and latest Skype it seems to have improved slightly.

    Finally leaving the 950 behind - which Android phone is comparable?

    Huawei P10, iPhone 7, Galaxy S8 These are the only ones with really comparable cameras.

    Die hard windows fans

    I am very happy with my 950 (feature2 FR). I recently manually updated the store and Skype app and now battery drain seems to have resolved itself. Getthing through a day easily. The experience is good and W10M has so many "on board" apps that actually not many are needed (contrary to Android)...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15228 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Very happy with this build. My observations: significantly longer battery life, 950 does not get hot anymore. No crashes till now.

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15226 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Working well. Snappy and stable. Battery usage can be better, but old Silverlight app Whatsapp sux a lot of juice so no wonders to be expected really.

    One heck of a week for W10 Mobile. What's everyone feeling?

    My 930 got Creators as it is an insiders device. The 950 really serves me well and gets nearly daily updates on apps and very frequent OS updates too. Will stay with this device till it breaks down.
