    Surface Pen Eraser Not Working Properly

    I have been using the Surface Pro (2017) for a few months, using it with the Pen that came along with my previous Surface Pro 4. Recently, I found that the eraser on the Surface Pen has not been working properly. When the Pen eraser is near the screen, a pointer will appear on the screen...

    Display issues when docked to Surface Dock

    I just upgraded from SP3 to the new Surface Pro. When docking to Surface Dock, I would usually close the Surface lid, and solely use the external display (i.e. only using Display 2). With the SP3, this setup is persistent. But with the new Surface Pro, after a few minutes, the SP display will...

    Best Cell Phone Camera?

    The 950 is actually pretty good at lowlight due to the Pureview sampling. The only shortcoming is the poor autofocus in lowlight. I'd guess that the poor results that you have gotten is probably due to incorrect focusing that makes the image come out looking soft. But focused correctly the...

    Best Cell Phone Camera?

    Coming from a 950XL, I have just gotten a Samsung Galaxy Note 8. While it's still too early to tell, so far I haven't been too impressed with the camera. The 950XL continues to amaze me even though it's already 2 years old. The only shortcomings are the lowlight focusing and lack of optical...

    Predictive Keyboard / Word Flow is a joke

    Yes, Word Flow is the best mobile keyboard.... in Windows Phone 8.1. The one in Windows Mobile 10 gives the impression of being completely broken and barely usable. Both swiping and tapping are problematic but swiping is probably worse, since in addition to the poor predictive text, there is...

    Predictive Keyboard / Word Flow is a joke

    Exactly! Word Flow in WP 8.1 was amazing, and I agree with you it is as though the phone could "read your inner voice and pasting the words on the screen". You don't even need a very high level of precision when swiping. Which is why it is so mind-boggling that the keyboard could have regressed...

    Predictive Keyboard / Word Flow is a joke

    Do you guys agree that Predictive Keyboard and Word Flow on Windows Mobile 10 are just horrible? You swipe a normal word, and it doesn't even show up anywhere in the word carousel. Instead, it comes up with some choices that are totally off. I have made a complaint on Feedback Hub but no action...

    Emergency contact - how to set this?

    I would like to set an emergency contact on my phone that would be accessible in the event of an emergency and my phone is locked. How can this be done? Currently it allows emergency calls from a locked phone, but what qualifies as an emergency call? Would it be numbers designated by the telco...

    Outlook Mail (through the web) - different UI for different accounts?

    I have 2 different outlook accounts, and I just realized when trying to access it online, through 2 different browsers (one is with MS Edge, the other through Chrome) that the Outlook landing page is quite different. The Edge one brings me to mail.live.com, while the Chrome one brings me to...

    Lumia 950XL display became very dim (not related to brightness setting)

    Yes, I have tried soft reset, and I'm not using any insider version (just normal AU), and I've not dropped the device. Just wondering if anyone else had the same issue, am considering whether a hard reset or signing up for insider release might help resolve this.

    Lumia 950XL display became very dim (not related to brightness setting)

    My phone display will randomly start dimming (very dim such that everything is barely readable). I tried to lock/unlock, or change the brightness setting (I disabled auto brightness) and changing the brightness to high, but that didn't do anything. The only thing is to reboot the phone. Lately...

    Surfac Pro 3 keyboard - special keys not working

    What options are you referring to? I was referring to my SP3 Touch Keyboard.

    Surfac Pro 3 keyboard - special keys not working

    I just realized that the top row of my SP3 keyboard (i.e. where the Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, Del buttons are) have been remapped to do something else. It probably happened after I have installed the anniversary update (I'm not on the insider program). Any way that I can remap the keys back to the...
