    Lumia 950/XL still the best Camera in 2018?

    OFF-TOPIC: Wow, it's been so long since I last answered a question or participated in this forums. ON-TOPIC: TL;DR: NO. The 950/XL phone no longer has the best camera in the smartphone world. The article from AAWP should be taken with a grain of salt since the author is very biased towards...

    How do I transfer a playlist from my phone (Lumia 950) to my PC?

    Thanks for the replies! Much appreciated. I guess I've no luck then, have to manually redo the whole playlist. Bummer :(

    How do I transfer a playlist from my phone (Lumia 950) to my PC?

    I have a playlist that I made while I was bored on my phone and I'm wondering if I can transfer that playlist into my PC. Both my phone and my PC have the same music files (locally stored, not streamed from OneDrive), so I think the playlist from my phone would work as expected on my PC as well...

    How and When to switch from my Lumia 830?

    I feel you bruh. I'm currently using a Lumia 950 that I won from a giveaway in this very site, but I still do miss my 830. Having said that, I do have to advise you to get yourself an Android phone, basing from what I read from you above. I recommend checking out XiaoMi phones since those are...

    Lumia 950 Camera Processing Skin Tone Issues

    The Lumia 950/XL are known for oversaturating colors of the photos taken with them. Some may like it, some may not. Alas, there is no known way to disable the 'applying finishing touches'. You may have known this, but I'm going to say it anyway (and I might be wrong about this as well)...

    The dealbreaker: soldered SSD

    I think there might be a few reasons why this would've been a good move by MS. 1) Standardizing the SSD means that the hardware will work for users as expected by MS, much like how video game companies expect the game they develop to perform well on a console that's meant to play that game...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome to the community! I would suggest to go with the last of the Lumias (950/XL) since they're still being supported, and can be found for cheap nowadays from what I'm reading around here, or maybe an Alcatel Idol 4S. I personally wouldn't recommend getting a 650 unless you're very tight...

    Surface Pro machines in the wild

    In the university I'm attending in, most people still use Macbooks. But over time, I could see more and more people using Surfaces (even one of my closest friend in uni just bought it a few weeks ago!). So I believe, in due time and hopefully with price drops, more people would ditch the Macs...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15205 Discussion (Redstone 3; Fast Ring)

    Just installed today on my Lumia 950DS, and everything seemed good. It's only been about 10 hours, but so far performance has been as brilliant as 15204 or whatever the previous FR version is. Hopefully it'll maintain the same performance level, or better. EDIT: Outlook e-mail notifications in...

    Terrible Battery Issues

    The Mugen will make your phone much more bulkier, and renders other 950 casings useless. It's up to you, though. Better and longer battery life, or safety of your phone? Your choice.

    WDRT and Insider builds

    What libra89 said. If you perform WDRT, your phone would reset completely to the WDRT builds (pre-AU, if I'm not mistaken) and you would have to set up your phone as if it was the first time you took it out from the box. After finishing the OBBE procedure, your phone would update to the latest...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15204 Discussion (Redstone 3; Fast Ring)

    I'm not sure why, but I'm getting an error that says: Some update files aren't signed correctly. The error code given is 0x800b0109. Anyone facing this issue as well? I did read that this affected some 0.1% of users but IIRC it was only happening to the Idol 4S users.

    why is it that WhatsApp doesn't work on my windows 10 phone anymore? I am using Microsoft 535.

    Re: why is it that WhatsApp doesn't work on my windows phone anymore? it would be helpful if you could include what phone model you have.

    slow motion video & living image problem

    1) The slow motion on your Lumia 640XL will never be as good as the ones in iPhones or other Android phones. This is because the 640XL can't capture 120FPS videos (the minimum FPS to make the slowmotion effect look smooth), similar to how my previous Lumia 830 works. Max it record is at 60FPS...

    Viewing old pictures on new phone

    Urm, I basically just copy and pasted. Moved from a Lumia 830 to a 950 last year, and I did this, and it simply works.
