    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Still using Lumia 950 with a cracked screen. It works and I have had it since it was released. Before that, the lumia 920 and had that since it was release. Two phones - 5+ years. I have looked at the other phones but just can't pull the trigger on them...too much money for marginal gain. I...

    What Resolution Are You Gaming With On PC?

    3440x1440 on a LG 34UM95 34" monitor. Pretty nice but refresh rate is a bit low. Mostly BF4 and likely need to upgrade my video card as the GTX 780Ti is getting a bit old.

    Current list of Windows 10/Microsoft problems

    My biggest complaints revolve around the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It is unreliable, glitchy, and frustrating. On mobile L950, the wi-fi drops continuously. What is worse, the Mobile OS can't even switch between Wi-FI and cell service so most of the time I can't use any apps until I...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15063 Discussion (Redstone 2; Fast Ring)

    Either this build or my Hard reset and restore has made a huge difference in my Lumia 950. I was having non-stop issues with apps not working, wi-fi failure, etc. Now it is much faster and is seemingly working much better than ever. Even my lock screen is actually working now. Fixed a couple...

    Brand New Surface Pro 4 (Stuck on repeating Surface logo loop)

    I am going on my 4th SP4 - two had issues of phantom touches on the screen opening apps and moving the cursor and one where it would just lock up completely requiring a reboot. Their quality control for SP4 is terrible. I have a SP3 which is great and runs like a champ. I would send it back...

    New Surface Pro 4 with ghost touch input issue

    I had the same issue with my brand new SP4. Had to send back. Got a new one and now have issues with screen freezing up. My SP3 keeps working just fine.

    Windows 10 update on pc/Mobile with 14393.576( RS1 , Non-Insiders )

    Re: Windows 10 Mobile 144393.576 ( non insiders discussions) Surface Pro 4 locks up solid when trying to enter sleep mode. I had to set it to never sleep so it will still work. Sleep has never worked well in the history of Microsoft so I guess they just wanted to continue their record.

    The elephant in the room.

    I was just talking about this the other day...Microsoft has some kind of issue with their connectivity on all their platforms, not just mobile. Laptops, Surface and phones have a lot of trouble all the time with wifi, bluetooth, and cell services. Whatever team is responsible for connectivity...

    Build 14951 Start Menu Freezes Grey

    Mine does that too. Just noticed it today. Can't drag anything or it closes and shuts down. Can't get into my mail either

    Don't forget to reset your Insider settigs

    I am staying. I have been using Windows 10 Mobile since its release and on the Fast Ring for my daily driver and have had only minor irritations with the builds. Most of the time, the updates fix the minor issues. The only one that has persistently come back over and over is the Glance feature...

    14322 is a nightmare|Worst fast Ring build!

    This build is the first I have had major issues since starting on Insider with my 950: I have had lots of issues with lockups/reboots and apps not wanting to launch. That and my battery usage for messaging/skype is skyrocketing for some reason but not sure it is related. Hope they get this...

    Why Windows Phone

    I haven't looked at Ally as an option but I haven't found as much need since I just work around it. Truthfully, I either use the Ipad at home or make my wife do the deposits. Not really a showstopper. I may at some point switch and glad to hear they are good to go.

    Why Windows Phone

    I chose for a couple of reasons: 1. Windows - the ecosystem and integration was very compelling and still is since all my work is Microsoft based technologies 2. Live Tiles - Love these and still do I tried it for those reasons and to try something interesting and now I am hooked. Still very...

    So what apps are desperately needed in your Windows Phone?

    I have almost everything I need for travel, business, data, games, maps, etc. The one thing that ticks me off is 2 of my 3 banks have disappeared. I used them when I get checks and it was very handy. Now I have to use my wife's android phone for that. Just a minor inconvenience though. I...

    Data transfer from laptop to Surface Pro 3?

    I just had the laptop and the SP3 on my network and shared the c: and D: drives, then copied all files via file explorer. Any programs I just reinstalled but the settings were hit or miss on whether they stayed - 8.1 to 8.1. Pretty painless but if you want an exact match, might be worth...
