    whats new in people hub

    I know the issue with facebook connect has been discussed for a long time now, but this JUST showed up for me within the last couple of weeks. My people app used to show the facebook profile pictures just a short time ago and no longer does. I'm wondering why it changed so recently?

    Win a $50 Microsoft Store Gift Card (plus get 10% off Lara Croft: Rise of the Tomb Raider)

    mmm... interesting dilemma. It's not enough to be a really significant advance towards a Band II, but it would be helpful. Or, for random stuff from the store... Band II

    Should I buy a 950XL or wait for the "Surface Phone"??

    Y'all are funny. Rip snorting ready to buy a phone that we have only marginal information on, no true specs for, no release date, and no pricing information. That is too much speculation for me. I have a AT&T 950 and am happy with it. I've got Black Leather Mozo Back Plate on order which...

    Why *haven't* you bought a Lumia 950?

    What nonsense!! I have the AT&T 950. A. WM10 is properly released for the 950 and stability is not an issue. Bringing forward features that were in 8.1 like geofenced Wi-Fi and the ability to rotate your Glance screen background would be nice. MS also needs to address how the camera...

    Alarm and Headset not working anymore since I upgraded to Win10Mobile, what can I do?

    I have a AT&T 950 and my alarm is very inconsistent. It by-in-large does not work. I'm debating whether or not I want to do a hard reset, but I've spend HOURS configuring the phone the way I want it and I am concerned it just likely a software issue with this particular build/app that will be...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    Lumia 950 XL Because it's got a larger screen and is faster with two more cores. Secondarily, because I already have/am buying the 950 via AT&T's Next program. bh

    Showstopping Windows 10 Mobile problems absolutely ludicrous. Completely dilapidates Lumia 950 XL.

    No you will not lose your text messages. I set up my 950 clean without using a back up and there's a setting under Messaging that asks how far back you want to download old messages (and settings include one year and all)

    Lumias in Terminator Genesys

    Re: New Terminator film uses Lumia's? I had exactly the same thought and I note that Microsoft did not get credit for product placement and the film was careful to not show the iconic Windows 8 start screen. Personally I think someone writing the script wanted to associate Skynet with...

    The positivity thread!

    The original poster said that he was tired of posts talking about how let down people were about WP/Microsoft/Noka/the app gap etc. He never specified that one cannot talk about their experience with other OS's. Windows Phone does not exist in a vacuum and is in fact the third smallest OS...

    The positivity thread!

    DOOMED doomed DoOmEd oh, sorry the positivity thread. All joking aside I love Windows Phone and my Red 920 on AT&T. I had a crappy Samsung android phone on Virgin that drove me NUTS, it was crashing and all sorts of sh*t. Then I got a android Motorola on Virgin that was quite a bit better...

    Will there be an updated version of the Nokia Lumia 930 with micro SD????

    I still think it is a horrible idea for MMOy to wait till the launch of Windows 10 to launch a flagship Windows phone. To leave the WP market in the doldrums like that for a couple of years without a suitable flagship is hideous. The 1520 as the OP implies is too large for many, the Icon/930...

    Will there be an updated version of the Nokia Lumia 930 with micro SD????

    No the 830 is not old to where it won't get future updates, however I do believe that it's specifications are such to where it will not get updates like always on Cortana. Will there be an updated 930 category phone with microSD? If MS knows what's best the answer is yes. Many of us are...

    Wi-Fi Geofencing: GREAT idea, problematic implementation

    One of the other posters (Tim G.) discovered that Wi-Fi geofencing does not work if the favorite locations are listed as "other", it will only work for "home" and "work". That's a fairly lame limitation and one would hope that would be fixed.
