Well I learn something new every so often :) I didn't know that was a feature of Windows Phone. Really great. I wonder how they got around the phone companies that don't allow call blocking. It sure does work good.

Yesterday I was getting calls soliciting money for police. Never give money to people who call you because you have no idea who they really are. Anyway, after the first call of the day, I touched the phone number on the display of the AT &T phone app and held it and a menu popped up with...

Wirelessly.

Have there been any / many instances of batteries in Lumia phones exploding or burning?

I had tried many times to get my Surface Pro tablet to connect to my Smart TV a 2011 Sony. After some updates I finally got it to partially work but not well. Today I tried with my Lumia 640 Xl and was pleasantly surprised to see it work flawlessly! 😁 It works in both portrait and landscape...

How the hell do you put in a contact in the phone app? I can dial a number but can't figure how to put the name and number in the phone book. Tried their AT&T ADDRESS BOOK app but they are doing away with that and I don't see what they want us to use to replace it. There is an icon of 2 people...

My Lumia 640 XL is trashed. I have been having problems with it since day one but recently it got much worse. For one thing, I have to admit I dropped it and it landed flat on it's back. It has a silicon bump cover but this was more than a bump. But even before that it wouldn't log into kindle /...

I went with a Windows phone because I wanted compatibility to send files back and forth ( if I needed to do that ). But between a lack of apps such as Swipe to Pay and problems with the browsers crashing and Amazon cutting Windows phones out of reading Kindle ebooks I think I made a huge...

I was in the Insider program but dropped out and installed the consumer Windows 10 which has been upgraded to the Anniversary Edition. I have the latest edition of update(s). I had to do that because the Insider Editions conflicted with my Vive. That was a few months ago now. I did a hard reset...

For the last few weeks my Edge browser will just drop out to the Start page all by itself. Will be looking at a web page and BAM it's gone and I'm at the Start page. Have to re-start Edge and go back to where I was and BAM it drops again, perhaps immediately but usually after a minute or so...

Got an update for my 640 XL yesterday and then, all of a sudden, another update comes in this morning. Did they break something with yesterday's update? I wish they would tell us something when they do this.

Actually just a minute ahead 6:29 instead of 6:30 does ok. It gets plenty loud enough although it does gain more volume if I leave it run, but that's good enough. It would be nice, though, if they would give us options and let us bypass the < gradual > " feature " or set a given percentage to...

OK thanks. I was remembering the ' good ol' days ' and there were chargers that didn't like not having a load on them and some even started fires because they would " run away " trying to charge devices that weren't there. It was a long time ago. I know the charger for the phone gets pretty...

I had never heard of that before. In some ways I like it, other ways ... not sure. I usually am awake / half-awake before it goes off anyway. Probably my subconcious worrying about it.

I have frequently complained about the Alarm clock app from Microsoft. Yesterday I learned something. I normally shut the alarm off immediately and most of the time I'm already awake or half-awake when it goes off. Yesterday I didn't shut it off and it kept getting louder and louder and...
