I've had to go Android because of this very reason. This is the only app I really need that I cant get on my 950. Shame.

Still on a 950. If the Samsung S9 has an improved camera I might make the move.

You don't have to use Play Store to download apps. I use the Apkpure app. Although whether these are exactly the same as store apps or more or less safe I don't know. What I really want from MSFT, which I doubt will happen, is their own dedicated app ecosystem in Android. So when I turn on my...

I don't think Nadella should go. Even though I'm still rocking my 950 and still refuse to go Google or Apple. We haven't seen his long term vision yet. Sure, some will say he has none and he's all cloud and enterprise. Fair enough. But four years is nothing for a CEO really, especially when he's...

I just upgraded my Nokia 6 to Oreo to play with the configurations. When I first started using Outlook, I was getting a little indicator on the app icon in red with the number of unread emails. Supposedly, there are supposed to be just dots in the app. My friend showed me his Pixel 2. But on the...

Have tried twice now to move to Android and just wasn't ready. Came back to my 950 again. The photos app is super convenient. On Oreo, Outlook unread email notifications on the app icon itself worked for a bit but stopped so I couldn't be bothered trying to work out what was wrong. Email...

I had this problem a few months ago. Couldn't see anything in Groove but could see the files in OneDrive in the correct spot. I found the OneDrive setup file in program files and redid the setup process. Everything synched straight away.

My 950 is my main phone. I tried the new Nokia but the simplicity of the OS, the camera, and the Photos and People apps drew me back. They are just easier to deal with on the phone itself as they're the same as what's on my PC. Funnily enough, I showed one of my work colleagues my spare 950 and...

You must be using a defective 950 because mine works perfectly fine. Have you tried other phones? I would suggest an Android or iPhone would be more suitable for you.

It is strange. I tried everything. The best I could do was enable the recovery drive and reset the PC. But that made it worse. I'm guessing it erased all the drivers completely because the pad function disappeared completely and the touch screen kept thinking it was in landscape when turned to...

My 950 is on the same build and very smooth. A reset should have fixed any problems. (Except upside down Skype).

If you could add an Exchange account on Android phones, there are plenty good enough apps that can be used for Messaging and Dialing and also display all the contact profile pics. I haven't found a way to do this on my Nokia 6 without those dodgy looking third party sync services yet so I'm not...

I think both companies are going to release them towards the end of the year. Samsung has been talking about theirs not being ready possibly until 2019. Only the latter will be a smartphone though.

Note: Not asking about privacy policies of MSFT vs Google. Just about Google. I am experimenting, like a lot of us non-converted I'm guessing, with an Android phone and was wondering how much Google still knows about me despite trying to opt out of using their services. I have switched off all...

If your contacts have photos they should show up on the icon.
