    New Surface today or Andromeda tomorrow...

    I too own a SP3. But I am waiting for a couple of things: For intel to release its next gen 10nm CPUs. This will be exponentially better on power consumption, efficiency all around. Second, I am not waiting for Andromeda, but for Polaris. In a Surface device where win32 app (still necessary)...

    Fall Creators Update screwed up my system.

    FYI, my install dates seem ok AFAIK.

    Fall Creators Update screwed up my system.

    So far, my only issue has been with Panda Free antivirus in two machines running Win10. After fall update, Windows Defender alerted me that Firewall was handled by Panda and it was off. Of course, the free Panda antivirus doesn't have a firewall feature and it was previously handled by Windows...

    I'm standing my ground, and sticking with Windows Mobile.

    I guess the only hook to use W10m to stay in a MS Ecosystem, is the pay once use everywhere. Other than that, most MS software can be used on Android and iOS, so with the lack of apps, there is little incentive to stay in W10m. Most data can be synced via one drive, so I doubt I will feel any...

    Is this an original or a fake Lumia 950 battery? (with pics)

    I got an "OEM" from ebay (seller: w_trade), with a date of 2016. I have had it for 3 days, replacement battery works better than what I remember when the phone was new, and definitely a lot better than how the original battery was working now, where I only got about 60% of the charge available...

    L950 with build 15063.483 battery drain when powered off

    I got to say I think my problems got solved (cross fingers). I bought via Ebay (seller w_trade) a supposedly OEM battery. It cost me $16 and change, incl shipping. When I received it, it really looked like the original battery that came with my phone. The only difference was that some of the...

    Why do people think that Windows 10 on ARM can save Surface Phone?

    I don't know if this has been addressed because I only read a handful of replies, but to me WoA strategy is very simple. For desktop, it is hard to justify Windows S, because while security and performance endurance through the life of the device is important, a lot of desktop users were quite...

    L950 with build 15063.483 battery drain when powered off

    Also, when my phone reads 20%, battery saver or not, it shutdowns. It would try to restart, but it would shut down again. One time I tried many times until it actually read I only have 5% battery and not 20%, which seems about right for not wanting to stay on. It only happened after Creators...

    L950 with build 15063.483 battery drain when powered off

    I'm having a similar issue with creators update. I don't think it is draining while off. I think it is not charging well and giving you a false charge reading. I charge my phone overnight, I wake up, the phone says 100%. I disconnect it, restart the phone right away (meaning, no usage, not time...

    Q: How to consolidate Sim 1 and 2 so only the active Sim shows on screen

    AFAIK, there is no way to consolidate. In 24 hours of testing, .318 is to me the best build of W10m yet. Music search on Cortana seems to be missing.

    Very disappointed in the 950

    I think you should have waited at least a week before judging whether you like the phone or not, but to each its own. Battery life seems to settle and improve slowly over a week of use after a hard reset. It may be too premature (it is barely over 24 hours since), but build .318 seems to help...

    W10M Official Release Build 10586.318 Issues

    It may be too premature, but the 3 problems I was having since .218, seems to have been fixed. I have a L950. 1- Cortana hasn't crash on me yet (fingers crossed). 2- Upon hard reset, all my text messages were restored. With .218, I had to wait like 3 weeks. 3- Battery drain seems to be at least...

    Talk me in to a 950!

    The phone itself is great, and the black version looks pretty good. I was thinking of getting the Mozo leather cover, but now i don't think it is necessary. I already got many compliments from iphone users that like the look of the phone, despite its "cheap" plastic cover. That was the biggest...

    Battery Improvement .218 ?

    I can report that after several fresh install resets, a letting it set for a few days, battery seems worse, sometimes really really bad. I was happy with .164 battery, lasting over a day with moderate usage. But after .218 it is getting frustrating, it drains like crazy. I suspect it has to do...

    New Lumia 950 Dual SIM - How to restore text messages?

    I have done a hard reset on my phone after each of the last 3 OS/Firmware updates before .164 update. I decided not to do it for that one, however, cortana had some issues, so I said, let's do a phone reset once again. I didn't have a problem with text syncing up until this last hard reset. I...

    Can One Own a 950 Without Constant Updating?

    Yes, you can buy a 950 without constant updating.....just like any other Windows 10m device. Since I bought the phone back in February, there have been 2 updates to the OS and one Firmware update. All of them improved the OS/phone, none of those broke anything to my knowledge. These updates for...

    Lumia 950 Dual Sim Primer (AT&T)

    Ok, i can answer my own question, yes it works, AT&T does accept L950 dual sim unlocked IMEI. Now, to answer jbowyer1, I guess the reason I have to provide a new IMEI, is because I can't use my sim card in the L920, which is a microSim, and bigger than the nanoSim for the L950, so I am forced...

    Polar HR7 connection

    Has anyone made possible to connect your lumia 950 to a heart rate monitor, specifically the Polar H7? My phone is not recognizing it. Lumia 950 dual sim, only first firmware installed, build 0.107

    Time to swap out for a new 950?

    Easy, return your ATT 950, buy Dual Sim 950 through Microsoft stores or online. I am assuming you are within the return window.

    Restore Text Messages

    I went from Lumia 920 Win8.1 to Lumia 950 Win10m and after upgrading to non-insider .107 (no sim ) upon recent purchase, hard reset, and did fresh install, no text messages there. Then I did another hard reset after installing the sim, and chose to back up (from my previous L920 Win8.1). Only...
