    Lumia 650 VS. Lumia 830 ? Battle of the metal-framed mid-rangers

    It depends where. Here in France it (the single SIM model) only supports the following 4G frequencies : 900 MHz, 800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz, 1 800 MHz. It doesn't even support the 700 MHz frequency even if it's currently being deployed in France. I don't know what Microsoft did because the US...

    Messaging App - is there a way to refresh or reset it?

    Keep in mind that Skype only keep the messages in the cloud for 3 months. So if you unlink your Skype account, you will lose those messages that have been send more than 3 months ago. For the duplicated contacts, you can go in the Contacts applications and link them.

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    Automatic update turned off doesn't mean Windows Update cannot search for new update. And yes, It may be that maybe they check the system build number first, if not compatible, they perform a check on the phone manufacturer and so on.

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    Your problem is that it seems Windows Update has downloaded (or started downloading) the 10586.29 update before you restored your phone registry values. At this point, only a hard reset can save you because there is no simple way to reset Windows Update on Windows Mobile (if there is a way at...

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    If you want to go back to the 10586 build, downgrade to WP8.1.1 using SMD Binary Downloader v3.54 to flash an factory ROM and then, upgrade to W10M (fast ring from WP8.1.1 to get 10586.107 then Release Preview Ring from 10586.107 to get 10586.218).

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    The .218 is indeed running pretty well on the Ativ S. One funny thing about the autofocus with the primary camera is that it works in some applications like the Authenticator but not in the Windows Camera application. How sad... :/ And the front facing camera autofocus is working.

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I'm currently considering leaving Windows Mobile. This is not related to the ecosystem but to Microsoft lack of quality control. I'm the owner of a Samsung Ativ S, great build quality but a lack of support from Samsung. A month ago, I started thinking of switching for a Lumia 950 XL. Yesterday...

    Latest Samsung Ativ S firmware updates

    There is no second wave (source). Just change your PhoneManufacturer to NOKIA, it's enough to chose a ring.

    Lumia 950/XL screen calibration problems, color banding, black clipping

    I have a similar problem. The boxes 5, 6, 7 and 8 are almost blue/purple. Because of this, in low light conditions, when I scroll fast, I have a blue/purple gradient after each black control on my screen. A good example is the comments in the WC application, when I scroll fast, I can see purple...

    Do NOT use SMD 3.47 to downgrade to 8.1.1. Use SMD v3.54 otherwise you're gonna brick your phone.

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    Not for me. I have a GT-I8750, updated it to .107 followed by a hard reset. The only ring available for my device is the Production one.

    Windows 10 for the Ativ S owners?

    I had the same error : you must select the Insider Fast ring and not the Insider Release Preview ring. The .107 build runs pretty well on the Ativ S.
