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

    My experience with the 6S+ was short-lived. Camera is a major thing. Thought about the LG, but my friend who has the LG G5 says that while the camera is spectacular, the rest of the phone feels like it has aged 5 years - he's only had it for one year. That didn't sound good, but the camera is a...

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

    Believe it or not, this rant is actually about hardware and I'm surprised to be writing it. Up to now, I have had great photo captures from my L950. However, today I took it too an airshow near San Diego and it almost ruined my day. 30 seconds into hi-res video - camera app would shut down with...

    Such a shame that Nokia hired Balmer and never came out with Android devices. I bet they would be a major player today. Microsoft has also missed a huge opportunity to make their phone OS a competitive and meaningful player. I am getting along with iOS just fine and seems as if people exiting to...

    To me, when Nadella showed off his Iphone running Outlook, that was the beginning of the end. Out of iOS, Android and WM10, I love Windows OS the best. Problem is, they have great devices and an outstanding OS, but without the access to the latest and best formed apps - it's a moot point...

    After 7 Years, Threw in The Towel.. iPhone 6s Plus After seven years - I have finally thrown in the towel and changed to an iPhone 6s Plus. Took awhile, and change surprised me since I am not an Apple lover. I still use my Surface Pro 3 with a vengeance and I love W10 in all formats. Also, in...

    Hey, another benefit of being a 7-Yr loyal WindowsPhone/Windows10Mobile user - getting left out of Pok?mon Go. Well thanks again, Microsoft..

    Why has the self timer stopped working in the WP10 camera app?

    Hey you are a lifesaver!!! I could not make this work to save my life. Reading your post, I noticed that the check and X marks to launch the timer settings are invisible in portrait mode and I have to turn my phone (Lumia 950) 90 degrees to landscape to make them appear. Once I have hit the...

    Why is my Lumia 950 battery draining?

    Re: Lumia 950 Battery Drain question Two days ago, my 950 (US Dual SIM Unlocked) started battery drain and screen kept emitting heat. Battery pull and setting changes not effective. Did hard reset. Firmware update appeared in phone updates. Phone is now operating normally.. No drain.. Screen...

    Lumia 950 Bugs + Defects

    OK, As much as I absolutely love this phone, there is a design defect that I really hate about it. I have noticed that using the screen especially one-handed, sometimes it gets a bit freaky - position jumps or scrolling freezes up. I realized that the cause was my hand hitting or resting...

    Anyone heard from Mozo?

    I got mine and communicated with them twice beforehand. Their answers were a bit curt, but prompt - within 24 hours. The cover does make a huge difference - I got the Cognac Brown version - nice feel - tight stitching - absolutely no corners cut. Outside the MOZO embossing, you'd think this...

    Pictures + Videos Taken With My Lumia 950

    Latest batch.. Night scenes are all PureView; B&W are processed with VSCO - AgfaScala200 Preset and Dog is VSCO FujiVelvia Preset. Note on the night shots, did all of those handheld and only variation was I lowered the brightness 1.7-2.0 as the highlights were blown on the first couple I had tried..

    10.0.10586.29 - here she comes :)

    My only gripe is that as an Xbox Music Pass member, I can only delete one Music Pass device every 30 days. Too many and guess what, I can't download music!

    My Opinion: The Death of Windows Phone: As a Windows Fan I Don't Need One

    Left Android and my Samsung Vibrant 6 years ago for Windows Phone. Guess what? Back then there wasn't a 'gap' it was a frickin ABYSS - but I never looked back. People say - sure WP has a better UI, but... To me UI is EVERYTHING. Someone had actually made a WP7 launcher back then for...

    The GPS on the 950 is AWESOME

    Years ago, on a plane, I was able with some patience to make the Lumia 800 and later 900 lock in while in flight and trace my course on the HERE Map. My 1020 and 930 couldn't lock in at all. This morning, I flew to Denver and with Airplane mode activated, I opened Maps and hit the location -...
