Omg, this feel. I gave up and moved onto Android. Actually a big part of the move was utter frustration with the new word flow keyboard. It was so, so much better in WM8.1, and it's something you use so often that this one feature pushed me over the edge. Swype for Android is pretty solid by...

Howdy y'all. I'm a bit surprised to see how little excitement there was about the LG Gram series out there, as well as some of the reviews panning it. Having bit the bullet on one, I though I'd share my impressions after my first week toting it around. Pros: Impossibly light and looks/feels...

You were in a hurry and it's been a couple of months. But I picked up the silver LG Gram 13 (touchscreen and fingerprint scanner). I also considered the ones you mentioned. Few things going for it: 1) Price point. Get a touch screen and finger print scanner to boot at a price that still beats...

For me it would be them not getting the keyboard back up to the standards set by the WP8.1 keyboard. Which they haven't done. And frankly, I'm so &@^$ing tired of the W10M keyboard and a few other annoyances that I'm now awaiting delivery of a Sony Xperia X Compact. :-( I don't even know if any...

"Me too!" post. For years I swore I hated phones without physical keyboards. Then I picked up a Lumia 720 just for kicks. OMG. WP8.1 Word Flow was absolutely amazing. I was completely sold that I'd never need buttons again (except camera, plzkthx). Even extremely complicated words or those with...

We say that now. But in the future when we look at a billboard and get hit by targeted advertising, we'll see how the story goes. ;-) (No one needs to know I bought that one thing...)

Advert for the culprit service...

"SMS message delivery not guaranteed" is a pretty remarkable cop out! I was surprised how hard it was to find any other mention of it. Mostly recent Samsung devices are the source of the problem, and one thread noted many other receiving phones besides Windows Phones not getting it, as I see...

I only trained mine a couple times, with and without glasses inside. Re: Framing, it seems to me that when I look at the little moving smiley face, it unlocks almost instantly, though angle to the phone also seems a factor. That said, half the time it's still faster to bang in my pin number...

Based on other searches, the "Enhanced 4G LTE" feature for MMS on Samsung devices could be a problem. Mentioned that to one cousin. She turned off the feature (without telling me). That fixed the problem and I got all of her group messages for a couple days! On Christmas the three of us talked...

Just left my 735 for something with more RAM/ROM. It was an absolute delight on 8.1. I'd be wary and check the forums about its performance on W10M, though... And IIRC, a Qi backplate had to be bought separately. Never had one myself but did see contacts for it "behind the curtain." Love the...

On my 950 the FB app takes about 7 seconds to load. However, sometimes it does take longer and about 1/3 of the time the first attempt to launch it fails after grinding away for 10 seconds. It also sometimes randomly dies, but not very often. Other annoying things: Scrolling feels... sticky? It...

I'm on board with this. Just came from an L735 still running WP8.1 after trying an L650 for a week. The 735 was able to knock WP8.1 around easily enough except when pulling heavy websites. Then I'd get "reloading" a lot, but it was quick to do so.The 650 proved worse at running W10M. I got...

Just switched to a Lumia 950 from an 8.1 L735. Started having this problem on a thread with the family. Texted one cousin directly and she says, yes, her and her sister have both been having group text problems the last couple months. Both are Samsung devices (I think both ATT). Will try this at...

Re: [Real Users] My Lumia 950 Detailed Review Stumbled across this page because of mattiasnyc's post above while looking for a support group. I'm on day one with my Lumia 950 to try something shiny after two years on a Lumia 735, WP8.1. I agree with everything he said... Especially the...
