I'm still using a Lumia 950 as my primary phone, which means making calls, working with my company's Exchange-based email, calendar and address book, and using the camera for random shoots in my travels. BUT I need an extra device to assist me in covering the app gap and for this I am using a...

1st, because they're not meant to be shut down or rebooted. They're not Androids or iPhones to need their daily reboot to function. :winktongue: 2nd, because they don't take long. Not unless you have any poorly implemented third party apps running in the background, which don't handle...

Well, here's an honest opinion from an old Android + iPhone user: I think I prefer Microsoft's live tiles for all the basic information they can offer at a glance. Widgets on other platforms never ever reached Microsoft's usability and consistent experience. However, when swiping right...

Surface phone in my opinion is the next generation mobile device, coming in 2-3 years when the technology will be mature. With the processing power of today's mid-to-high range laptops it will serve as the main computing and virtual reality device for individuals. It will be around 6 inches but...

Agree! I had this type of drain, without using Skype at all. Just having my skype account logged on with the messaging app which is set to work in the background.

Here's one additional comment after a week's use: Messaging app seemed to be consuming consistently more than 35% of my battery! Note that I barely use it (about 5 SMS per week). I had however logged on to Skype, even though I never use Skype. After logging off from Skype, Messaging app...

Yes, just wait and this problem will resolve by itself. It is a lengthy process that seems to re-download or re-configure some apps. This also seems to take even longer for the apps that are on SD. Wait and you will see this resolved later!

The Health & Fitness up is discontinued by Microsoft, so look for replacement apps, like Health or Fitbit. Second issue, lock screen apps have to be Silverlight, but the new universal apps are not! So you need to find an older Silverlight-enabled lockscreen app. You'll see this issue with other...

A few more observations: Animations are great and there is no performance lag. Apps such as facebook seem more alive. For the first 1-2 days battery life sucked and the phone was somewhat hot, but progressively this stabilized. Now battery discharges faster when the screen is on, but is...

Thank you Remy_S for setting things straight! For a few people the Upgrade Advisor seems to be available and working, and these people assume that the process is working for all. Well, it's not!!! Adding to the confusion, there is no official explanation why my Lumia 830 is not being upgraded...

Nice!

Health App stopped working for me since the upgrade. The message displayed is "We couldn't load the data. Please try again later." I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, disabling/enabling motion settings under My Phone. Nothing...

Yep, I'll second that. SanDisk is failing miserably. Switched to Samsung 64 Evo+ and wow, what a difference. This is not the phone's fault, just needs a quality microsd.

Lumia 950XL because my hands are big :)

In case you have the "windows insider" firmware version 8.10.15116.125 and want to upgrade to 8.10.15148.160, there is currently no such upgrade path. Therefore your device will not update automatically. You should either wait for the upgrade path to become available, or use the Lumia Software...
