    AUSTRALIANS: Lumia 950 XL/ Lumia 950 Waiting Game/ 1st Impression/ Review/ roblems

    So turns out I had a deffective device, got a new one, going good so far, battery life is good (not great, but I imagine it will improve). Having a few random bugs, but I'll forgive Windows 10 for that, it was rushed to market I hear. My main gripe is Cortana not reading text's out in my car...

    Remove email account

    I have the same situation. I have my personal one added and my MS account one which is unused and is showing up as the same but won't let me remove it. Also, can't download any files from emails and sometimes it says not synced yet, but it is, and I just have to restart the app. Beautifully...

    AUSTRALIANS: Lumia 950 XL/ Lumia 950 Waiting Game/ 1st Impression/ Review/ roblems

    I thought all my problems were solved, but extreme drain and heat issues again under little to no use. If I use it whilst on charge it drains quicker then it charges, Going to attempt to remove SD card and see what's the deal there... On a side note, where has "Hey Cortana" gone ? I can't...

    Show Offline Music

    Hi Guys, I am loving that Groove is just like on the desktop, but I want to know is there way to have just show offline music, ie music stored locally on the phone. Because I download my playlists and some other favourites and store them so I don't stream away all my music, but I can't seem to...

    Showstopping Windows 10 Mobile problems absolutely ludicrous. Completely dilapidates Lumia 950 XL.

    I already have, it took a day for the apps to actually work, all WP8.1 app would just hang on the loading screen, now they have none of the date. So basically if I hard reset just log in and start fresh ? What about the update to .29 will I need to do that again? Cheers

    Mine was having issues from when i turned it on, then, after 4 failed attempts and 12 hours it updated and it didn't solve the issue. Cheers

    WOOP, someone who is having the same experience as my, I am rather annoyed I dropped AU$1127 on this phone and it's unusable. It's getting replaced next week. I.E restoring the phone but not brining over a back up, will I not loose all my text messages etc? Like I could probably do with an app...

    How is your 950Xl battery doing?

    So by this do you mean that you had your XL set up, back it up, hard reset it and then used the back up. Or you just hard reset it and started from scratch <-- this what I am thinking of doing but I am worried that I'll loose my text messages. I am draining like 25% in an hour and it's just...

    AUSTRALIANS: Lumia 950 XL/ Lumia 950 Waiting Game/ 1st Impression/ Review/ roblems

    Well, I basically turned everything off and it's no better - I am just assuming now it's faulty. When it's plugged into the charger it just maintains it's level it doesn't actually charge...

    AUSTRALIANS: Lumia 950 XL/ Lumia 950 Waiting Game/ 1st Impression/ Review/ roblems

    That's what I am thinking, Harvey Norman asked me to wait it out a week, prior to them replacing it as they said (and I am hoping it's true) that they chew power for the first few days while they sync everyhing up. However, I am away for work and only sync over WiFi so it shouldn't be doing it...

    How is your 950Xl battery doing?

    I can't get mine to charge fully, I put it on the charger when I went to bed and woke up with 72% (charging for 6 hours) 3 hours later and it's telling me it's at 19% and 41 minutes to go. Running warm when it's in standbye and heats right up as soon as I try to use it. Turning features of and...
