So after upgrading to Windows 10 on my 640 (I did before a few months ago, but I want to stay on 10 this time), I've come across some issues. I've also listed the things that I see as an improvement over 8.1 so that I can see if the improvements outweigh the issues. I'm figuring that many of the...

Possibly a dumb question, but what is the difference between Preview for Developers and Windows Insider? I couldn't get Windows Insider to work on one phone until I enabled Preview for Developers. On my other phone, Windows Insider just reboots my phone.

I upgraded to W10 on my 640 and the reminders that were on Cortana in 8.1 still show up. In outlook calendar they show up as reminders-remind me and search reminders. When I deleted all of the reminders in Cortana the reminders-remind me still show up in the calendar. When I add a new reminder...

My Lumia 635 has never had issues, and out of nowhere it suddenly started having what I thought were network issues, but narrowed down to issues with any app or site that requires a login. For example, I can go to CBS's site, but Facebook pops up with a certificate error. Any app that requires a...

Is there a higher capacity battery available than what comes in the 635?

I haven't used my tablet for awhile so I caught up on a lot of updates. I'm still on 8.1. Now I've noticed changes, specifically in the keyboard. The full, PC type keyboard is not available, and the split keyboard has options for small, medium, large, but all but small are greyed out. Every time...

I reinstalled the insider app on my 635 but it doesn't recognize my account. Even when I manually sign in it asks me to create an account, and doing so takes me back to the first page. I'm using the same account I always use, and the app works fine on my 640.

Is there any setting on Bing maps that will avoid toll roads? I have Here drive set to avoid them but it only works during an actual navigation. When I look up routes or it automatically shows me my route home, it always takes me down the toll roads.

So I noticed that you can't even open OneNote 2016 without signing in and syncing to the Microsoft cloud. You also can't open local notebooks. The only info I could find on this made it sound like it was only a Mac issue, but these are Windows installations. I expect this is why some people are...

highlighting in onenote app I may just be blind, but I cannot find the highlighting in the OneNote app. I have found strikethrough and font color, but cannot find the highlighting function.

Are there any apps that I could put on one Windows phone to control a different Windows phone? In this case, I am using my 635 as a music player attached to a speaker and would like to be able to control it with my 640 from other rooms (or even the same room. - I'm lazy).

I finally jumped into Windows 10 on all my devices, including my 640, which may not have been a good idea. I really love 10 on the phone, but I've run into some deal breaker issues. Apologies if these have been mentioned, but I didn't find anything when searching. I wanted to see if these have...

I use OneNote on my phone, tablet, and laptop. In the last few days it has begun putting my initials next to every change I make. They all use the same account, and this never happened before. It's pretty annoying. The only thing that has changed in the last few days was that I upgraded my...

help for Lumia 640 on T-Mobile My parents have been using their new 640s for a few days, but my dad discovered today that his office is a dead spot on Tmobile. His phone works outside, but not inside the building like his Sprint phone did. WiFi calling is not an option at his office, so they're...

I convinced my parents to get Windows phones. I showed them my 640 a few weeks ago and that's what won them over. I've sent them tutorials, but they finally got service started today and I got a phone call asking tons of questions. It's going to be an interesting few days while they figure them...

I've noticed on my 640, when I start a call away from Wi-Fi and then move into my Wi-Fi network, the call transitions to Wi-Fi calling, which is great. I don't know about the other direction, or if it matters that my data was on when I started, but I know that on my 635, it didn't transition...

I have a magnet in my phone to use for my car mount and it's throwing off the phone's compass. I had the same magnet in my 635 and never got notices about the compass needing to be calibrated. Are there any fixes for this?

I've recently switched to a 640 as my regular phone, but I will be using my 635 as my music player at home with a speaker. Is there an app that will let me control the 635 using my 640?

When the upgrade showed up in the regular update, I tried updating my HP Stream 7 and it said to attach an external drive. I charged my tablet fully and did this, but the install was very slow, much slower than the times I tried before. So the battery died part way through. Now it won't do...

In Windows 8 I always pinned file shortcuts in the folder: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Then I searched the filename and where it came up in the search results I clicked Pin to Start. On Windows 10, it's not pulling up any of the shortcuts in that folder...
