I spent over 45 min on the phone with OJ, a Cricket Customer Support Supervisor, yesterday and here are my findings. On July 15, 2017, Cricket migrated their voicemail servers and in the process caused visual voicemail problems for "non-Cricket" phones. Only Cricket phones are compatible and...

I've been getting multiple //VVM:STATUS:st=U;rc=1 txt messages each day for a few weeks. 3 or 4 times when I start charging. 3 or 4 times when I stop charging. It gets a bit bothersome as I'm used to placing my Lumia 950XL on the wireless charger multiple times each day. After a hard-reset I...

Still on the 1020 full time on WP8.1 and quite happy with what it provides. Not really tempted by the 950. I wish we had Edge though.

In a post on the Microsoft Community site, Microsoft has indicated that the "Anniversary Update" of Windows 10 will include changes to Family Safety including reinstatement of one of the most vehemently requested features, the ability to extend time to child accounts locally. Family Safety in...

As a Lumia 1020 owner, one of the trickle-down effects of last week's announcement to exclude several handsets is that Windows Central (and other sites I visit regularly) are no longer useful to me. All the new news stories are focused on Windows 10. All the new app announcements are Windows 10...

Me after upgrading 4 machines from three different OS versions and seeing the same product key in every one Me after reading @PepperdotNet's explanation above. Honestly, Windows Central should write an article about this new key situation.

Re: Unable to install W10TP Hmmmm. This just in: Windows 10 for phones preview pulled for Lumia 520, 525 and 526 | Windows Central

Re: Unable to install W10TP Could you describe "the steps" because I'm only seeing these steps 1. Choose Fast Ring 2. Click Accept 3. Reboot screen. I do not see "the steps." I see "the accept button" and that's it. Are there more steps?

Re: Unable to install W10TP Thanks I appreciate the assistance. You see, that is the problem I am reporting: what should be happening is not happening. I've selected Fast Ring and rebooted (then waited) several times and the W10TP is still not installing. So I was wondering if anyone else...

Re: Unable to install W10TP Thank you. I waited several hours then rebooted this morning without luck. 1. The instructions on WC state to click the checkmark then proceed to Settings | Phone Update | Check for Updates with no mention of a reboot. Did you experience a forced reboot? 2. Thank...

Unable to install W10TP After multiple hard and soft resets and phone updates, my Lumia 520 has installed every update that it says it can get. I am sitting at this OS version: Model: Nokia Lumia 520 Carrier: AT&T Sofware: Windows Phone 8.1 Update OS version: 8.10.14219.341 I have registered...

Same concerns here. The "get a phone for free and extend your contract 2 years" is not cost effective on AT&T. If you are off-contract on a family or individual plan (as I understand this - I am no expert) your monthly charge is $15/month. If you get a new phone -- any new phone -- and...

My favorites as a Windows Phone User: Action Center, Slow Motion Video My favorites as a Windows Phone Fan: ALL the enterprise features!! Features such as EAP-TLS and remote-wipe and certificate management are not sexy but will drive sales into businesses who offer company phones to employees.

There is indeed demand for this: Variable Speed Playback – Feature Suggestions for Windows Phone and I'll say that once I got used to 2x or 2.5x playback, 1x seems SO SLOW.
