    Will Microsoft sell the Samsung Galaxy S9

    Not sure. I think they botched the messaging last year with the Microsoft Edition S8, which Samsung denied. That being said, the will want to store to be as profitable as possible. Messaging is the key and the base has been alienated before, so as long they have to make the messaging clear and...

    Microsoft: Windows Phone isn't our focus this year!

    Communication has never been Microsoft's strong point. There are better ways to speak to your base. I'm starting to think that the strategy is to let it burn to the ground, and then slowly build up in a year or two. Only at that point will put more resources into it. In the meantime, the...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I made the switch last Friday to the iPhone 6s Plus. So far so good. I didn't like how the 950 XL was handled last year and found it a bit insulting to charge for a device with an unfinished OS and little carrier support. It seems like it would not behoove a developer to make apps if the phone...

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

    I would choose the Lumia 950XL if I win this contest. It will allow me to get an updated mobile experience, and give my Lumia 1020 to my sister to replace her broken cell phone.

    Why am i having typing problems on my Windows phone?

    Those same scenarios happen to on my 1020, except for the shutdown. I read somewhere before that it was a bug with 8.1. MSFT acknowledged the problem, but it still exists. I even installed 8.1.2 via the insiders program and it's just as buggy. It's highly annoying, but I do not think they will...

    Scrolling not smooth in some apps on the Lumia 1020 as compared to Lumia 720

    I have the same problem with my 1020 and WP8.0. The WP Central app scrolling is choppy and glitchy. The games hub also has issues. I keep wondering why this is the case. It gives me negative feelings about the phone.

    Is there any app can help me hide the photos?

    Just use Photolock or a similar app. Transfer the images there,and then delete from the photo library. They will not show up. Uploading to one drive is effectively like moving the photos from one folder to another.

    Is there any app can help me hide the photos?

    I've been using photolock for 3 years. You can make folders, etc. Copy the photos to there and delete them from the phone's photo library. Just remember to export them if you reset your phone or delete the app.

    With WP8 Internet Explorer, Vine and Instagram Videos don't work at all and neither do Twitter Pics

    I have the same issues on my 1020 with Vine videos. There's the user voice site, but I doubt its effectiveness. Maybe contact Microsoft since it appears to be a software issue.

    1020 now or wait for flagship 8.1 devices

    I would wait if you can. I have had a lot of issues with the 1020, which may stem from its early release of gdr2. I'm writing this from my 3rd 1020 in 5 weeks. Hopefully, gdr3 will resolve my device's issues.

    HTC 8X- Microsoft Account Sync- Similar Issue- But Diffierent

    Unfortunately, changing to the URL didn't work. I deleted everything, made a minimal backup and didn't restore anything after a hard reset. Over the next few days all of my old texts re-appeared. Bizarre.
