    What phones are you thinking of switching to?

    I switched to Sony Xperia XZ. I just switched 2 days ago after the Groove debacle, which totally pissed me off. So bought the XZ and then heard the news from Belfiore and was glad that I moved when I did.

    For Windows 10 Mobile users (What are you doing with your current device?)

    Just thought I'd mention you can use Interop Tools to enable a few extra options under Screen Timeout. One of these being "Never". That would solve keeping your screen on.

    For Windows 10 Mobile users (What are you doing with your current device?)

    How well do you like the LG G6? That is my backup option and curious what opinions there are of it.

    Ally supports Microsoft Wallet?

    Fyi, it does indeed work. It must be a chip card and part of their new BIN number. I got mine added :)

    Ally supports Microsoft Wallet?

    Just as a quick update on this. Called Ally, they actually knew what I was talking about (whoa!!!), and they even verified that they are receiving the message to activate it. But it is getting rejected because it is attempting to activate them as a credit instead of debit card. They claim that...

    Ally supports Microsoft Wallet?

    Has anyone noticed that Ally Bank supports Microsoft Wallet? Found the attached image on their site, it shows the Microsoft Wallet icon. But it is not listed on Microsoft's site of available banks. Is Ally just preparing to have everything setup for it? I have tried to add my card and it has...

    Will Windows Central survive the death of Windows Mobile?

    Well judging by the response to your post, I think WC will be just fine :) But I came because of Windows Phone articles. If those articles stop I will probably leave the site.

    Have you ever wished you could go back to using a dumbphone?

    Does it count if I still pick up a Rand McNally Road Atlas before traveling anywhere? Even though I have my 950XL with me at all times

    Have you ever wished you could go back to using a dumbphone?

    Okay, I replied to someone else about this, but I will go ahead and give you the same info. You can do group texting over SMS only with a dumb phone. GroupMe supports it. You do not need an app or anything. Everything is done through SMS commands. Look up GroupMe over SMS.

    Have you ever wished you could go back to using a dumbphone?

    Wait, I thought GroupMe has support for dumb phones? I think it just assigns a single phone number for you to text to and everyone else that is on a smartphone it looks like normal. And you get texts because your number is included in the GroupMe. You do not have to have the app and everything...

    Have you ever wished you could go back to using a dumbphone?

    This exactly! I have already removed myself from all social networks - no facebook, twitter, linkedin, myspace (is that still a thing?), etc. I'm back to using AOL Instant Messenger (jk!) Seriously, I stopped social networking sites when all of my parents and grandparents got on there and...

    Using lumia as my daily driver from blackberry priv

    Now I'm curious, what are you searching for that does not bring up a map in Bing but does in Google? The Bing searches I do does bring up the maps suggestion, but perhaps it's something specific that it does not recognize as a location?

    How's the battery life on your lumia 950 xl?

    It varies widely and depends on build/usage. If I'm streaming music constantly maybe 5-6 hours. If it's a video I've seen it drain in 4 hours (but not always). If I hardly use it then usually something like 16 hours. I've had it last as little as 3 hours (don't get me started on that lol) and...

    Am I missing phone calls because I am on band 12 on T-Mobile?

    How do you know you are on Band 12? I'm not sure that would be the reason you are missing phone calls. I suspect it has more to do with Windows 10 Mobile. For some reason notifications are iffy. How do you know you missed a call? For me I know I miss calls but not because my phone shows...

    What are these networks? H H+

    FYI, these connection strings that get displayed are mapped in the registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\OEM\DataConnectionStrings So for example if the radio is connected to UMTS_HSDPA it is set to display 4G (which is incorrect it should be 3.5G) In fact all of the WCDMA frequencies are...

    This Might Just Be The Final Straw

    Am I the only one having issue to install Feedback Hub & Skype Preview updates in the last 4 builds?

    Re: Am I the only one having issue to install Feedback Hub & Skype Preview updates in the last 4 bui I had an issue this morning with Skype Preview failing to update. I uninstalled Sype and then went back to the store and pressed retry and it installed fine after that. I have not had an issue...

    SD Card

    Depends on how you reset your phone. If you restore from backup then your apps get installed just as before you reset. The point of the SD is to just expand storage, I don't think it really matters how you use that storage. Especially if you watch what you are buying and research before making a...

    SD Card

    Lol, this is perfect :) I would try another SD card first and see if you get the same issue. Also what OS version do you have?
