Welp. right after I took a screenshot of my missing "auto rotate" setting, my Surface updated and it's back. So never mind. Also, I don't see an option to delete my original post.

As of this morning, my Surface 7 Pro won't rotate the screen. When I tried to find the auto-rotate setting, it's not even there anymore. I need to use it for my chord charts at a gig tomorrow, and the only thing I can do at this point is switch from landscape to portrait and back. No auto...

I just noticed that none of my PC Edge favorites have synced with Edge on my new (borrowed) iPhone XR. Searching the web verified that this is common, but I haven't seen anybody address the issue within the last year or so. I assume this is just a bug that MS has decided not to deal with. Or has...

So it's the Rust-Oleum of the mobile phone world!

Apparently after a recent update, I don't seem to be able to keep separate profiles for mouse and trackpad on my HP Spectre 360. Even though I'm a lefty, I've always scrolled the trackpad with my right hand and used my left on the button. This is opposite of how I use the mouse (right button...

So it finally dawned on me to check my notification settings. Sure enough, messaging was turned off. Turned it back on, got notifications for a day. 24 hours later it had switched back to off. So now I guess each morning I'll have to double check that setting just so I can hear a text message...

Well, there's a 50/50 chance that that's the team I will be joining!

As the Windows mobile infrastructure continues to crumble, the latest issue I've had is that whenever I receive a text, my phone doesn't even seem to notice. No sound, no visible notification, no screen lighting up. Oddly, the quick glance icon does show up at the bottom of the screen when I've...

I've never thought about using a mobile phone for public displays of affection. Maybe I'm missing out!

I started experiencing this almost a year ago. I have to use Edge for image searches.

So I've been waiting for my Lumia 830 to die so I can finally make the switch to Android (maybe I should remove the case - four years and going strong!). Every time I find "the one" I find something that's a deal breaker. I thought the new OnePlus announced today might be it. But no wireless...

On both my Lumia 830 and my 640XL, when I click on "image" after doing a search in Cortana, I just get a blank screen. I have to use my browser and do an image search if I want to see images. Has anybody else experience this?

Yeah, I didn't even mention that every time I rebooted the 640 I got a SD Card error (which it was always able to "repair"). I ended up going back to my Lumia 830, which was a better phone to begin with, but harder for me to type on. I haven't had the issues on it I was having on the 640XL...

Today, my Edge app is completely wonky on my 640XL, Windows Central app keeps giving me an error message, app store won't let me download anything (including the recently uninstalled Windows Central app for example). I guess it's time to get serious about deciding on a replacement. Like the...

Today when I fired up Edge on my 640XL, it gave me a "welcome to Edge" splash screen. Now it doesn't seem to remember any of my passwords. I have to log into FB each time, be it with Edge or with the SlimSocial interface The next screen is always the "next time, log in more easily" prompt. I...
