    i recently got repaired my lumia 535 and i got it back with windows 8.1. i upgraded it to windows 10 via insider app, to the "production ring". im afraid im used to some small changes present only on redstone builds so i want to change at least to slow ring but i have a problem. before i got my...

    Windows 10 Mobile vs. Windows Phone 8.1

    i love w10m and i cant see myself going back to the boring design language of wp8/8.1. sure, it was nice in the past, but im so bored of it that now i prefer w10m. and btw, i personally think that w10m is the sweet spot between android, wp, and ios. it will only get better, now that they found...

    new navigation pattern - what you think?

    then maybe an option to disable it? for me personally is THE MOST annoying thing on wp, killing multitasking, and i never got used to it, not even now after 2-3 years of WP

    new navigation pattern - what you think?

    you're right about the more actions the easier to mess up. but i think people can handle this. android devices always had more actions inside the navigation bar. and even worse, some are OEM specific, not a standard. and lets not forget about iphone. with one button doing all, which sometims a...

    new navigation pattern - what you think?

    MS changed/iterated the navigation buttons' behavior on windows phone several times...yet i still find them a little bad thought. Currently you have back home search, every one with its behavior on tap and on hold. i believe they should make them more logical since right now they are not so good...

    Will the Windows 10 phone support OTG?

    actually it would be. usb in w10m has otg and even more usb drivers (or what they are called). but if it would be backwards compatible with current handsets i cant tell...

    Which phones have 4 Columns of Medium tiles on Windows 10?

    in windows phone and windows 10 mobile, differences in design and features were made based on screen size AND resolution. sometimes only one, but sometimes both. tiles were usually the things that got influenced by BOTH screen size and resolution, so maybe for the forth column a 5"+ device with...

    Windows 10 settings split screen

    as it turns out, i DID have this feature on build 10136, but now on the build 10149 i dont have it anymore. i hope is a bug. split screen(and other optimizations) really make sense on 5"+ devices.

    Windows 10 settings split screen

    i think is for phones 5"+ and is not restricted by resolution. im having split screen on my 535 with a display not even HD on a 5" device.

    Windows 10 settings split screen

    the only problem is, like on the PC too, the sidebar list of settings is too damn large. i hope it will get the width of the biggest item on the list, in the future updates...

    Build 10136 Lumia 520 Locked to Lock Screen Picture

    i suggest you to either read "whats broken in XXXX build" articles here on Windows Central, either leave the insider program. the "locked" lockscreen is for the migratiing data status which in the latest builds is bugged. you should have let your phone to do its job until the date and time...

    alternative to reset your phone after a new build - 10136+

    some folks, including me, had several problems with some app (settings app the most) on the build 10136. i for example needed like 3 8.1 rollbacks (4 upgrades to 10136) to figure what was causing the problems. im also running on a l535 which has some additional bugs on dialog boxes so a reset...
