    Garbled Audio on Phone Calls?!

    Yes I had just powered the thing off and on before. With a soft reset just now, I get the same results. It is a T-Mobile variant, so the next step is to do a wipe tonight. Thanks!

    Garbled Audio on Phone Calls?!

    Suddenly I see that my IDOL 4S has a problem with the phone call audio. The speaker is fine, but when I listen to the call as a regular phone, the audio is either very low volume or is very garbled. I've power recycled twice and get no resolution. Any pointers appreciated.

    Windows 10 CU for SP4?

    Thanks David, for the link and the info. The other option for those not involved in the various rings would be to just wait, and eventually the upgrade will arrive?

    Windows 10 CU for SP4?

    My SP4 is still awaiting the CU update. A week ago it received an announcement about the CU coming soon, was all that has occurred. Odd, because the IDOL4 phone was upgraded a couple days ago, and the PC was upgraded the first few days of the roll-out.

    Creator Update & The Idol 4S

    My T-mo is getting what I believe is the CU now: 10.0.15063.297. Of course, the real and complete Creator's Update will be later this year in the Redstone3. ;-) Update: Seems faster.

    Creator Update & The Idol 4S

    My T-Mo IDOL 4S is completely surrounded by no update. (Apologies to Onslow from 'Keeping Up Appearances' for borrowing his remark).

    Word 2016, Insert Image, and Creators Update

    Thanks for the tip on change/repair. I chose that option and Word still freezes whenever I engage the Insert/image dialog. I'll need to contact MS to see what gives. Update: I visited office.com's support page and found this article...

    I didn't understand the logic behind Onedrive sync

    It looks like Sync is gone from OneDrive. I have 2 PCs with the same account. Each can access the same folders and files on OneDrive, but anything newly uploaded does not show up on the other's view of OneDrive. This results in me having to email files to myself between PCs, which is pretty sad...

    Word 2016, Insert Image, and Creators Update

    Since upgrading to CU, the Word 2016 is pretty useless. I am unable to insert an image from the PC, as the OS update had changed this insert behavior, and the dialog just freezes. Likewise, when I want to change an existing image (by right-clicking on an image and selecting 'Change Image'), the...

    I didn't understand the logic behind Onedrive sync

    Concerning OneDrive sync, I am frustrated that a newly created folder on OneDrive using the Surface Pro 4 (which is still awaiting the Creators Update) cannot appear on my Desktop PC (which is running the Creators Update). It's been 3 days and the new folder is not showing up. The Windows Mobile...

    Screen protector or not?

    I placed the liquid glass on my IDOL, and then purchased a thin folding case which covers the screen as well. Haven't dared try the hammer test on it, though!

    Biting the bullet and jumping in

    My advice is only to avoid the insider rings if the IDOL is your main phone. I made the mistake of immediately going for the insider fast ring preview, and had to use the WRRT tool to reimage it back. Reimaging the device can also be a great way to have a clean-running mobile, too.

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    Thanks Rum and fat (to use your first 3 letters!) I had the alarms wrong, and yes, the volume does get louder if left alone.

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    Probably not the phone, but the OS itself: Alarms still do not work, as they come in so softly, and there's no way to boost the volume setting of alarms. When you set up an alarm, and pick a ringtone, there's a triangle 'play' icon allowing you to preview it, and the volume previews loudly. But...

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    Mine has been stable, on production OS. I do notice that while playing a song via the hardware aux cable in my car, and when a call comes in via bluetooth, the music will stop as normal, but when the call ends sometimes I have to press the 'play' button on the phone to resume, and sometimes it...

    Current list of Windows 10/Microsoft problems

    One of my gripes about Windows 10 is the riddle of the File Explorer. It used to be pretty straightforward, but the #10 iteration presents "Quick Access/Documents", "This PC/Documents", "[username]/Documents", "Libraries/Documents". When you place a document into the default "This PC/Documents"...

    and just like that my band is dead (not charging)

    Bought the Band 2 on the first day it came out. This week it stopped charging. I had made the mistake of not placing it on its charger one night, and 2 days later there was no way to charge it.

    C# to VB?

    Undoubtedly that is the best advice ever, just to move forward with the evolving standards. If bolFaceReality = True Then Msgbox("Thanks F8R!") End If

    Idol 4S on T-Mobile time skew???

    Looking closer at the time.gov website, it has a label saying "Corrected for network delay". But I would still trust it because the TFA on the IDOL 4S is definitely lagging; in order to use it I have to keep refreshing the TFA key, and when it changes then I know I have a half a minute to enter...
