    After four years I just left Windows Phone, here's why (mature discussion only please)

    LOL yes, and I would say appropriate here with the humour you used. Made me laugh (and I agree).

    After four years I just left Windows Phone, here's why (mature discussion only please)

    Hi all, I'm mostly writing this as I know Microsoft employees peruse these forums, this is to serve as feedback for them. Of course the community discussion is also enjoyable. Mature discussion only, if you are thinking of commenting "bye then, get lost" or something to that effect. Close your...

    Phone app battery drain

    Last few days my battery life has been worse than usual. Taking a look, my phone app is apparently taking up 35%. Despite the fact that I barely use the phone. I call my wife when I leave work, we chat for about 2-3 mins. And I haven't used the phone all weekend (its now Sunday afternoon)...

    Windows Media Center to make a return on Windows 10 ? Any updates ?

    Media center was an awful, unworkable mess. I hope it gets buried forever. How would it be remotely more convenient than DLNA?

    For the first time in WP history, I'm not wanting the update

    I've been with WP since 2011, and am jumping ship to an iphone this spring, but wow, you couldn't be more way off if you tried. The UI is what drew me (and pretty much everyone else) to it. It was fluid, clean, simple yet functional. No one expects commands at the bottom? Why? I had wm and...

    Who's excited about the Windows 10 ( phone)?

    ....yes I know that. The question was "would they", not "why did they". And yes, yes they will abandon devices soon after launch.

    Who's excited about the Windows 10 ( phone)?

    You must be forgetting about the 900 fun. People upgrading to 3 yr plans just to see Microsoft dump the platform and the phones just a couple months after. NNot saying they wont get it, just saying that of course they'd abandon them.

    Xbox Live down - Gold status not being recognized

    Just giving a heads up to anyone interested. Wasn't looking for answers about Xbox live on wpcentral, that wouldn't make too much sense. -edit- Oh and btw nice backhanded taunting there, missed that the first time. Like I said, what a lovely community here.

    Who's excited about the Windows 10 ( phone)?

    Re: windows 10 ( phone) : Waiting Room There isn't much to look forward to. We have all the functionality of a mature OS. There isn't much left that I can think of. What they need to do is introduce newer hardware, and somehow attract more apps. That should be the next focus. Not "same os...

    Xbox Live down - Gold status not being recognized

    Gold status of my account is not being recognized. Website says core services are down. 30+ min wait to talk to customer service, and 18min wait to chat with a rep online.

    Getting replacement phone with 8.0

    Ok thanks for all the responses. Just in case anyone is wondering; the phone is smart enough to know which backup to do. Upon signing in to the stock 8.0, it asked if I wanted to do a backup from April (which would've been before I installed 8.1). However upon downloading dev preview and then...

    Getting replacement phone with 8.0

    But if I sign in without restoring, will it erase my restored point? After all, the new signing in would be my home screen right? -edit- Or are you saying sign in with some other email address?

    Getting replacement phone with 8.0

    My screen cracked today and I'm getting a replacement ATIV S. This new one will not have 8.1 on it as I'm part of the dev preview program. It will be stock 8.0 Does anyone know how the device will handle it when I log in? It won't be able to configure the start screen, some apps won't work...
