With the Groove app going away soon, I was wondering what other Windows phone fanatics are using to play music on their Android phones? I'm illogically Google-averse, so I don't particularly want to use the Google player (whatever that is). Spotify had its opportunity. I liked Groove in its...

I should have updated this thread. I went with the LG also, for many of the same reasons you cited. It's funny you mentioned wireless charging - it's not as big of a deal for me as I thought. I routinely hit bedtime at 11 pm with 20% or more battery remaining, after unplugging when I wake up at...

I dumped all the Android/Google apps, and installed Outlook, Office, Edge, Cortana, etc... Having trouble getting all my notifications to make sense. Have had NO luck figuring out how to do voice-to-text. I can get my texts read to me in my truck, but only by clicking the on-screen "read...

Re: An honest Lumia 920 review: Why I'm returning to an iPhone 5 Made the Android jump last night. After being a Windows Phone user since the days of Windows Mobile 2003, I previously tried iPhone, and it didn't work for me. I found it frustratingly inefficient compared to W10M. I got a...

Still daily drive my 950. Always been on Windows phones- and PDAs before smartphone was a thing. Really don't want to change. Test drove iPhone for a week, and pulled the 950 back out. Wish I had another option, but starting to see signs of end of life. Looking at V30 as an option until MS pulls...

No. My SB Performance Base still is more computer than I need--and works fantastic. I'm running this one into the ground!

My SB Performance Base runs two externals, plus the laptop monitor if I set it that way. It's safe to assume the SB2 will as well. I'm running an aftermarket dock, not the Surface Connect Dock.

Here in the PNW, everybody uses lots of phone functions while driving, as is apparent on I5 in/around Seattle. It's easy to spot the Android users, they're the ones who don't go when the light turns green, or continue driving 40 in the interstate even when the traffic in front of them...

I'm on this site more in the past 2 weeks than I have been in the previous 2 years, but I'm in the middle of making this transition. I would love to gut out WP if I knew that the Surface unicorn existed, but I've been waiting for it (or the almost real cousin, McLaren) since my 930 battery...

I'm a total newb at anything other than Windows-based phones, but I'm probably going to make the switch to Android soon. I tried iPhone, that lasted < 1 week. I will continue to live in the Windows ecosystem to the max extent I can, and iPhone doesn't seem to want to help me there. I'm also...

I should probably note that I have an irrational disdain for all things Google that goes back a decade or so. I don't have a Gmail account, don't use a Google search, etch, because I haven't wanted to give them free license to my data. I know I do that with Microsoft, but I trust them more. Told...

One of the things I appreciate about W10 is the integration between Outlook, People, Text, and Phone. To me it's all "Outlook." When i tried iOS, I was frustrated that those things didn't work as seamlessly. I got it to work, but it was not easy. In my perfect android phone, outlook would be my...

I'm starting to prepare for plan B. Moving from my 950 to another platform. iOS is not the answer. I've been researching Android phones, and for now have narrowed it to the Samsung S8+ or the LG V30. I'm not ready to give up my headphone jack, so Pixel2 isn't in the game. Essential might...

Jf.Vigor, Any updates to this thread 6 months later? I'm preparing to make my switch from my 950. I've been test-driving a iPhone 6+, and 2 days in, I'm underwhelmed. I see a lot of folks leaning Adroid, and looked at the S8 last night. I'm kinda in mourning. I see folks talking about...

Thanks for the suggestions, Deepak. I had already revoked access to ALL apps from Twitter.com. That didn't help any. I tried using the RESET button as you described, and still get the same result. It seems to me that the "user data" is some sort of password vault or similar that has my...

I updated my password on Twitter.com. When I tried to access my account using Windows 10 app on my laptop and on my phone, I get a message: "We're sorry, there was a problem completing the request. Please check your network connectivity and try again." When I try to update my password in the...

I'm "on" number 4. I say "on", because it's technically still the one I have, but it's in my "old electronics" cabinet, since I don't wear it anymore. First one GPS quit working when we got a firmware update. Second one, can't remember the fault. Third one, strap split. #4 was not very old...

Just spent about an hour chatting with MS Store. Was told TODAY that I could have received the $150 trade in discount with the BOGO. The day AFTER I placed my order. She also confirmed that I could NOT receive the 10% .EDU discount, despite being shown where multiple people on here DID get...

You shouldn't have any trouble. MS has done a great job of turning their support /customer service around. After I mine back, I got a "cancelled" status online. I was really ticked! I chatted with customer service. It turns out at the serial # was incorrect... They had to cancel to back the...

My new one is in the mail. I've had it since Feb. No signs of cracking (I was watching for it), then got back from my run last Monday, and cracked from one side to the other. I wear mine 24/7 except for charging. I wear a large, fit snug to my arm. Not too big for me. I really wish I knew...
