- I was getting tired of being frustrated with the constant fight with W10M. My main W10M phone is a 950. It s a great phone with terrible software. 14393.321. Constant reboots and crashes. Its laggy AF too. I felt the need to change my daily driver. I gave the Nexus 5 a quick couple day run and got bored. I've got my other sim in a iPhone 6 so I didn't feel like carrying 2 iPhone's around, that's douchey. Alas, I whipped out the old 830 and put it back on 8.1 WOW. Does that OS bring back some memories. So smooth and stable. I haven't used 8.1 in a long time. I know its EOL but I have enjoyed the last few days down memory lane. My main 8.1 device was a 920 back in the day and my 830 was always on W10M and worked fine. I wish I hadn't gone past 10586.
Oh Well, I will enjoy the last of good ole days for a while before I put the sim back in the 950. Maybe I'll get the Focus Flash out and try out some WP7 and play some Harvest.

- Absolutely agree. Microsoft is moving away from what attracted me the most to Windows Phone: smooth, polished, fluid interface on any hardware with 8/8.1, and attractive, flashy, unique phones with great cameras.

- Hey, check my site name Aximtreo. That's how far I go back with Windows. Just acquired another 950xl to keep the taste in my mouth. Daily driver is Note 5. After charging, doing the OS updates, I made the mistake of restoring the last 950xl backup. It was only a month old. What a mistake. Now I have to use a sun dial to time the opening and closing of apps ad boots. The rest of my day will be spent resetting and doing a complete new install. Should have done that in the first place but I'm a dumb butt. LOL

It's really made me feel like throwing the phone away, especially with the slowness and stupid glitches that I didn't have on 8.1. I got a 550 to stay in the game from an amazing deal, kind of like how @aximtreo did with the 950xl. Liking it, but every now and then, I wonder how it would be if it had 8.1 on it.
Whoops, I kind of went on a tangent, but I miss only being concerned about apps on 8.1 over being concerned about apps and performance on Windows 10 Mobile.

- Could not agree more. Windows 10 Mobile is a buggy mess, 8.1 was solid as a rock. It was so stable and everything I loved about Windows Phone, stable, fast and dependable (battery was very stable in times as well).
Microsoft screwed up with Windows 10 Mobile. Back in the 8.1 days, I got a lot of people over to Windows Phone (about 50 or so people), as I was a big fan. After Windows 10 hit on Mobile and people were sort of forced to upgrade (or IT'S NEW MUST HAVE type thing) and after that, about 3/4 of them have moved on, Some to Android and some to iPhones... I can see why the numbers are down. It was a waste for me to talk them into the phones.
Besides Windows 10 mobile being a buggy mess, the Tap-to-pay thing for newer phones ONLY was the final nail for me. I am on Verizon, I don't get a big choice of Windows Phones to start with but, even though I had tap to pay on my phone, Microsoft black listed us older users...
So, on a LG G4... I have an iPhone 6 that I use and time to time pop over to they best Verizon Windows Phone, the Nokia ICON (but less and less now)...
Sigh...good job Microsoft, always finding a way to screw up a good thing...- Share
