    Mobile Nations forums are suddenly only presenting Mobile view on WinMo 10 Edge in desktop/continuum

    The forums pages are ignoring the user agent request for desktop from Edge, even in Continuum mode. This removes the ability to embed images and do more than basic posting. The app still isn't there for posting images and multimedia in the forums. Please respect the Edge choice made by the...

    Let my shame be your warning...don't delete Unknown from the Storage Manager

    Yesterday I was cleaning up some internal storage on my 950 XL. I am on the public release and have just joined a new company who is 100% Microsoft technologies.

    A 4K HEVC (H.265) file to test your 950XL's 4K playback

    I got approval to release a new native HEVC encode of the pilot episode of Humans and Households, a short form webseries we produced two years ago. The footage is a mix of native 4K (RED Epic) and 2.5K upscaled (Blackmagic Cinema). I tested it on my 950 XL and it looked great! Humans and...

    Cortana "Hidden Gems" - has anyone used these?

    Finding Cortana settings is a pain - there's no settings blade, just Notes. Notes opens up a tab with settings at the top. Once I found that, I was shocked at how much was available. Uber account linking was especially interesting. Has anyone used that? Does it work well? It doesn't provide any...

    AT&T literally knows nothing about this phone (950 XL)

    I got my phone today and had to go get a nano SIM because my 1020 used a micro. Unfortunately, that started a series of events that have me without any data or voicemail. I walked into the AT&T store in the lower level of Pacific Place in Seattle. This store is literally 2 blocks from a...
