    Cortana meets Alexa

    A workaround for the calendar is to "share" your calendar (in outlook.com settings) with her. Then she will see it and can update it on her devices as well. We did this with our invoke when we had it set up with my wife's MS account, but she just can't get away from a basic hand written calendar...

    Moving from Windows Phone to Android

    FYI I made the switch last week and am up and running just fine with the Nine app. it syncs contacts from both my live.com account and O365 account to the native apps. Also syncs all my calendars.

    Moving from Windows Phone to Android

    Any one use office365 for business with Android? My coworker and I rely heavily on office365 business. I keep my business contacts in my O365 account and my personal contacts in my MS live.com account; am I going to have issues with this using Android... I don't want to move them to google. I...

    HP Elite X2 1012 G2 ( a rookie review)

    Thanks for this... I'm considering this to replace my SP4 for work and am finding zero reviews; even HP's site doesn't have much on the G2. I use my sp4 with an MS dock as my primary machine for work, but then also take it home/to meetings. I really wanted LTE in my next device, so I'm waiting...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    For what its worth to everyone, I miss my Band2, but I'm really loving the Vivoactive HR and glad I picked it over Fitbit. I even downloaded an app for it that allows me to bring up my Starbucks card. The battery life and fitness tracking are excellent, and notifications are really not bad. The...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    I got my HR Saturday... so far have received 0 notifications from my elite x3 besides phone connected/disconnected. Even with the app open. Occasionally the widgets will say "no notifications", or will show upcoming calendar events, but most of the time they all just say "waiting for data". Had...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    How are your notifications? I think I'm leaning toward the vivoactive over the fitbit blaze because I really like the fitness features, especially GPS and waterproof. At the very least though, I want to be able to see notifications and from what I'm reading they are spotty with W10M. I have an...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    I just got back from the store in Tampa. I was able to get full refund of $249 plus my extended service plan that I paid for $49 back on whatever card I wanted. Ended up being $309 refunded. My wife originally bought it in November 2015 as Christmas present for 2015 and they were able to look up...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    At the store I was told $175. He basically said exactly what I'm hearing here.. if you send it in, it takes 6-8 weeks (maybe longer) and you will get a refund check. If you return to a store... you get store credit. Thanks for the video btw, that helps a lot. I still think I'm going to go with...

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    How do you like the Vivoactive HR so far? I'm torn between that and the Fitbit Blaze. The problem with returning the band to the store is that they give you store credit, not a check. and MS doesn't sell the Garmin line.

    Band 2 died (again) - Notified by Support there might not be a replacement

    My Band 2 died Saturday, went to my local MS store and he definitely tried to steer me toward a refund right there. I thought, no way, I'll just wait and ship it back, I want a Band. Now I'm thinking it's going to be a waste of time to try to send it back.. I think they are done. I guess I'm...

    Can I share my USB-C LAN connection via hotspot?

    Just curious if Windows mobile allows sharing a LAN connection, or can hotspot only be used to share the cellular connection? I thought about this while staying in a hotel that charged for wifi, but had an ethernet port.

    Portable Monitor

    Has anyone found a portal l monitor for their x3? There are a ton of USB monitors, but I imagine they need certain drivers to run that W10M does not support. Looking for one with HDMI input and powered by battery or usb.

    Remote Desktop Options for Continuum

    Would putting the computer to sleep after the RD session add some security? Then to access again use WOL? Or would this be just as easy for someone to wake and access?

    Remote Desktop Options for Continuum

    I just opened the port. My problem was I had my pc's local IP in the "pc name" field and our router static IP in the gateway. I put our static IP in the pc name field and selected no gateway, that worked. I since closed the port, bc no vpn, but at least I know how to do it now.

    Remote Desktop Options for Continuum

    I'll check out the cisco vpn. I also dont like that about team viewer; one solution is to just disconnect the monitor on the remote PC. Ours will be in our server room, so not really visible to other employees.
