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

    Sorry, I got into a bit of a rant in the last paragraph (it's frustrating to follow Microsoft in their efforts, but as a Brit I do love an underdog)... Yes, certainly: in all fairness I wouldn't take any issue if Microsoft were straight-up and honest - none of us can expect that aged...

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

    Full feature support would be the main benefit. The core kernel/OS would receive frequent updates. Where those features/updates benefit a CShell enabled UI/feature/function then the benefit would be felt on mobile at the same time as the Desktop/Tablet/Xbox/IoT equivalent. There seems to be a...

    "Projecting to this PC" - How to use this..?

    vidhyasome, yes definitely works via "Connect" app, but given the settings in [Build 14342] System > Projecting to this PC > Anytime / Anywhere, then the app is (or will) not (be) needed for this. I'm referring above to my Lumia 735 (latest insider build) being able to connect without any...

    "Projecting to this PC" - How to use this..?

    I'm going to take another look tonight - might be that my phone (735) is on latest build, whilst the 950XL (#LumiaTrial loan) is on release build.

    "Projecting to this PC" - How to use this..?

    I managed to project my L735 screen first time, with no issues. However, since then have been unable to connect at all. Currently using a #LumiaTrial 950XL - so wanted to try exactly this (wireless continuum), but no success even seeing my PC - let alone connecting to it. Anyone had any success?

    One Drive & Groove Music Syncimg/Sharing

    I stumbled on your post looking for resolution to this issue on Mobile, as my wife and I have a shared music library all on our shared Microsoft Account for our HTPC/Media PC at home. Sharing the folder as our "Music" folder into each of our private OneDrive/Microsoft accounts works fine for us...

    Why can't I update apps from the store?

    Saijin_Naib, thank you for your reply... but, can you confirm whether you have Equaliser or Gestures listed - as I can't find these here. Sure I'd tried this before, but with no success (maybe re-introduced with an earlier build?). Anyway - thank you, this has at least cleared some of them off...

    Why can't I update apps from the store?

    Re: I can*t update apps from Store I've had this issue since first joining insider program and find it incredibly irritating - mostly because of the impression it sets for new users/adopters. I cannot believe that issues such as this have not been resolved - even now in 14295 the issue remains...

    Best Browser for Windows 10?

    Re: My New Favourite Browser I've been using Edge as my primary driver for circa six months, with minimal issues. Strangely the issues I have seemingly ALL relate to Microsoft-owned or -related content websites - the most shameful being the Microsoft Store, but special mention is to Windows...

    The Windows Phone App Gap Thread

    I'll just leave this here for you: [Context: My wife, having replaced her Apple iPhone and now using the Lumia 550] "I thought there weren't any apps?!!" ... "There are so many games!!!" (grin grin) I'm so bored of the "app gap" argument: Yes, we clearly lack some (well-known) apps. We all...

    Landscape homescreen for win10mobile .

    There have been a plethora of design concepts on uservoice, here, msdev and neowin forums over the last few years. Some of the best revert somewhat to a combination of the WIn10 and Win8/8.1 desktop models (key point - using groups) in order to make the transition between portrait and landscape...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    950XL for me (pretty please!) - for the added screen real estate and extra mAh to enjoy it longer!!

    No "Hey Cortana" on W10 mobile

    Thanks Andy, just unsure whether to expect it or not. Pretty sure I had it 'at some point', but never since 10 Tech Preview.

    [Quick Impressions] Who Has Gotten The Lumia 950?

    Wow, that was a long read with both very useful and also, let's say, "less useful" comments. Been sitting on my 920 and, unfortunately (due to a drunken drop), 'temporary' 735 for over 2 years now so keen to upgrade... but can't draw any conclusions just yet... maybe a shortfall of MS OS (for...

    AT&T Sales Staff Not Helping

    It's not just AT&T in US - I've always had the same experience for all past Lumia phones. Three were particularly bad - I actually got a credit to my account after raising a formal complaint to their customer services. When upgrading from my Nokia N8 the sales teams tried to block me from...

    Who's got build 10572? How's it working for you?

    Absolutely loving 10572 so far - had a busy fortnight travelling with work - and my L735 is my daily driver so couldn't risk loosing use or the navigation I was reliant upon... so, had to wait until Friday to finally update. Very impressed - from the get-go it's been so much more of a smooth...
