Yes, in recent versions, you can turn off the phone screen manually using the power button without having it disconnect from the main display. So no need for Blackout for Continuum anymore!

1. Lumia 950 XL 2. Rii Ultra-Thin Bluetooth keyboard and unbranded Bluetooth mouse; or Logitech K380 keyboard and onscreen trackpad. 3. At home, I use a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter on a Samsung TV. At work, the conference rooms TVs are Miracast compatible, so Continuum works great with...

Experiencing this Outlook Mail issue with my Lumia 950XL too. However for me it's not just limited to Miracast. I am also getting it with the HD-500 Microsoft Display Dock (plus Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter v1 and also an LG Miracast-enabled TV). Reported through the Feedback app.

Hey that sounds really neat! So the touch screen works seamlessly with Continuum?

FYI, I bought one of these cables (PrimeCables brand) and it works for me with sound: http://www.primecables.com/p-347340-cab-usbcm-cm-1m-usb-type-c-31-to-usb-c-gen-2-mm-cable-1m33ft-primecables The phone does show the message about using the wrong cable, but it does work as far as I can tell...

I've used Lightworks the most (https://www.lwks.com/). It is a professional non-linear editor (NLE) that was actually used to cut some major, very well known films over the past couple decades from Pulp Fiction to The Wolf on Wall Street...

I recently bought a generic USB Type C dongle that has one HDMI, USB 3.1, and Gigabit Ethernet port. It was marketed as for the new Macbook or the Google Pixel C. Everything on it works, except that when connected with HDMI, it seems to only display at 720p. I have the Microsoft Display Dock...

By the way, I was reading a bit more about USB Type C and noticed that a couple places on Windows Central, people referred to a series of reviews on Amazon by Benson Leung. In response to someone asking about Micro B to Type C adapters for OTG, he indicated that "... OTG adapters like the one...

Yes, I do have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse already, but was using an old USB mouse/keyboard to test the old OTG adapter I had on hand, as I knew that old USB mouse/keyboard pair worked with the Display Dock). I was looking at options to use some of the other USB peripherals I've used with the...

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out! Do you think something like this would work too? http://www.primecables.com/p-354263-cab-c4u01-usb-c-usb-type-c-usb-31-to-4xusb-30-female-type-c-charging-port-15cm-primecables- It is a USB hub with a USB type c connector.

I was trying to use "OTG" on my 950 XL, but it doesn't seem to work the same as older Android phones with OTG via the Micro B USB connector. I bought a USB Type C male to Micro B female adapter and then connected a Micro B female to USB A female adapter, to which I connected a USB thumb drive...

No doubt, you're right. I think for me, the possibly W10M-specific thing about this would be the Continuum experience. At that point, using the RDP connection feels even more natural. Technically, even for that, I could say that you could do the same with Android and iPhone if you hooked up the...

I just realized how seamlessly I can connect to my work VPN and RDP into my work machine. Here is what it looks like directly on the 950 XL, but this easily works just as well with Continuum, which makes it even better.

I just noticed that this feature is back again after I just updated my Lumia 950 XL yesterday (I know it wasn't there when I first took the phone out of the box). It's now under Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Double-tap to wake phone.

I just did.. after my Lumia 830 was stolen last month, I started to look for a replacement. In the mean time I went back to my former Samsung Galaxy S3. I was about to pull the trigger on a Xiaomi Mi5, but then stopped to think a bit more about what features about the Lumia 830 I really liked...
