    Another dumb question - keyboard

    The thing I missed the most was cursor control, but using IOS keyboard you can use a 'deep press' (3d touch or force touch or whatever they are calling it these days) for cursor control - which is actually better IMHO that the original W10M keyboard. I actually use GBoard both on Android and...

    Windows Phones missing from Canadian Microsoft Store

    Word of caution if you are considering buying Idol 4S from Canadian Microsoft store. Mine needs warranty repair, but Alcatel repair center claims the phones are from US and won't honor the Canadian Warranty - Microsoft store no help either. Trying to get this resolved is painful ! [sigh]

    Charging Issues

    It's a warranty issue, the problem has gotten worse and worse and now the device won't connect or charge at all. I'm currently fighting with Alcatel to get the thing fixed.

    Charging Issues

    Yes I swapped out the cables, I AM using the original wall charger. I also attempted to clean out the port and have not found any lint.

    Charging Issues

    Anyone else experiencing issues with the USB C port? When I plug into charge it's getting more and more sensitive to the cable placement and regularly disconnects if the cable isn't perfectly lined up?

    HDR Photos crazy slow on 15063

    I bought pro-shot, it isn't any faster but the screen stays on as it processes the shot which gives the illusion that it's faster. Proshot also takes some pretty darn good pictures.

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    I've just noticed that mine isn't charging fully when plugged into the Microsoft Continuum Dock or via cable attached to a PC. I've tried different cables but get the same result. It gets to 90% and disconnects. No charging LED or icon. If I unplug and then plug in again it'll start charging...

    How Does The Idol 4s Speakers Compare to The HP Elite X3?

    The 4S speakers are awesome ! I was very disappointed with the B&O speaker on the X3, the 4S are soo good they have changed the way I listen to music and podcasts. I never bother using an external speaker now.

    HDR Photos crazy slow on 15063

    Is anyone else on the fast insider ring on their 4S? Have you noticed that HDR photos have gotten dramatically slower (around 7 seconds per image)? Do 3rd party camera apps help? ProShot for example?

    What issues have you run into with this phone so far?

    I'm running on fast insider ring and that has dramatically reduced the number of false cortana launches - but HDR photos now take around 7 seconds ! Anyone else noticed that ?
