    lumia 650 can't connect to 4G anymore and more

    I think there was only 1 flip phone on display at TMobile. I believe it was an Alcatel. I have several phones that I juggle around with. I sometimes like to use my Nokia 3310 for the battery longevity and the nostalgic factor it has when I had the original. Just got my pixel unlocked from...

    lumia 650 can't connect to 4G anymore and more

    I found out it was TMobile. They upgraded their service a year or so ago and that made some older models not compatible anymore. After 19 years with them I had had enough and moved over to at&t this past Monday. Now both my new Nokia 3310 and the Lumia 650 work great.

    lumia 650 can't connect to 4G anymore and more

    I just got my 650 today and I am having problems connecting to 4G also on T-Mobile. I have been with them since 2000 and bought the 650 when it originally came out in 2016, it worked fine then. Now a couple of years later and this thing is not even a good feature phone. T-Mobile said...

    Thanks. Good to know. Google and their barrage of advertising is annoying to say the least.

    lumia 650 can't connect to 4G anymore and more

    I'm currently using a Pixel 3a with Microsoft launcher installed. It's not bad. I've tried some of the other launchers like 10 but it wasn't a great experience. So I guess the Lumia 650 was a bad idea then? I don't use my phone for work or business so I should be able to get by. I really...

    Best android phone for windows phone users

    My needs are modest and I don't demand much from my phones other than that they run smoothly and the overall experience doesn't leave me feeling like I want to throw the phone down and run over it several times.

    I know this old but what did you replace the 650 with ? I'm going back to a 650 to try out again in 2019. Was a good phone when I owned one.

    Best android phone for windows phone users

    If anyone is switching to Android I would recommend the Pixel 3A or 3A XL. Excellent upper mid-range with best in class camera like it's more expensive siblings. No other phone for $399 has a camera that comes close . Dual speakers, stock Android , guaranteed updates and a great overall...

    Best Android Camera Phone ?

    Just picked up the Pixel 3A for $399 at T-Mobile a few weeks ago and it has been excellent. The Pixel 3A has most of the features of the flagship except for metal and glass body. The 3A uses polycarbonate just like the old Nokia Lumias and is solid and well made. The camera is the same that...

    So, what do we do now?

    I have been bouncing back and forth between android and windows now for the last 2 years when I got my Nokia 6 in 2017 .I just can't fully abandon the windows platform. For one the typing on my Alcatel is night and day better than android...even with SwiftKey installed, but nowhere near as...

    Which new Nokia similar to Lumia?

    Also make sure you have the 6.1 2018 and not the original 6. Had the original 6. It was ok but the 6.1 is better . Faster and smoother scrolling and is capable of taking "bothies" pictures

    Which new Nokia similar to Lumia?

    If you go with android I would recommend the Nokia 6.1. It is a very good mid range phone with an all metal design that has flat edges along the sides like your 830 but with a metal back also. The camera takes very good pictures with Zeiss lens but you might be disappointed with dark shots...

    Anyone been able to get Live Tiles on Square Home Working with MS Apps

    I switched to android by and large but keep my Alcatel idol 4S to use every now and again mainly for the beautiful screen and live tiles. Windows is buttery smooth compared to the best androids. I switched to a Nokia 6 also last year and tried square home. Just didn't work well for me. Now i...

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    Good to know. That is another reason I stuck with Nokia on android . Will get the next few years of updates. I don't want to replace my phone every year. Vanilla android is fine enough with me. Speaking of keyboards on android. I was using swift key and it didn't really make any difference...

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    When I decided to get my first "internet phone" in 2012 I had no idea about the different OS's on phones. The only reason I came to Microsoft was because of Nokia. I had a PC at home but was totally ignorant of the the three OS's on mobile....like I said i wanted one of those "internet phones"...

    Should I return to Windows Phone?

    The points dwarf king made were valid. I have an android phone because of an app windows didn't have. Well i tried just using the web browser and pinning the site to my start screen on my Alcatel 4S . Instant app ! Works just as well as the official app. Android has the apps, but even in...
