    W10M Insider Bugs & Defects Thread (pre 10586.164)

    Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread It's been an exercise in frustration getting this version to work properly but seems to me like it's an issue with apps. Did a clean install, do not restore from backup. Delete all of the apps that don't work, even the MS ones. Then add them back...

    The "Windows 10 for phone" UI is so similar to Android - Is Microsoft preparing to move to Android?

    Apple to ban MS Health / MS Band apps from AppStore?

    Pretty misleading. That's not what's going on here. If I create an app and represent it as coming from Pebble then they certainly have the right to complain. That's why we have disclaimers. I don't see anywhere that Apple is banning MS products.

    Now that W10 is a free upgrade for 7/8/8.1 users, will the technical preview have an expiry too?

    The last "tech preview" I participated in was Vista. I did a clean install so not an upgrade from a previous version of Windows. When it became a final release I was able to update my preview version of Vista to final release then afterwards would get the messages that I need to enter a key or...

    How to get Windows 10 tech preview for pc?

    It WAS available via their downloads page but looks like they took it offline to update to the iso's to the lastest versions. I was able to install from usb when they started the program a couple of months ago and it's been very stable for me. Use it on my gaming machine, multiple monitors, runs...

    So Windows 10 cost??

    I don't see how FREE UPGRADE is being so overanalyzed and misunderstood. In the past, all new Windows versions were paid and now if you have Windows 7 or higher you get a free path to Windows 10 which is a good thing because it'll get it on as many systems as possible. Even when MS went from 7...

    Blu Win HD vs HTC one M8

    They're in really two different categories but I will say WP runs great even on lower spec'd devices. I don't really game with the Blu but day-to-day stuff it runs great, SD slot, great battery life and camera isn't terrific but does the job for Facebook or 6tag.

    Battery Life!

    Haven't gotten your results but definitely very, very good battery life. Usually off the charger for 18 or so hours and still 20-30% left with moderate to heavy usage.

    WP8.1 GDR1 - update downloaded couldn't be opened

    Lumia 920 had the same problems as most. Download simply wouldn't install and I was previously on the DP. Used the Nokia repair tool then installed all updates all the way to the latest 8.1 GDR1. Now just need Cyan and I'm all set.

    WP8.1 GDR1 - update downloaded couldn't be opened

    Probably. I'm on a Lumia 920 DP so not the official 8.1 update and no Cyan. Able to download this patch but not install.

    Facebook : features, discussions, rants, issues, solutions

    Just noticed this today after using my Note 3 for a little while. Was wondering why there were so many posts on the Android Facebook app and I didn't see them even when I went to a person's page and refreshed in WP. Ridiculous. I guess we're just supposed to use the browser for everything and...

    WP8.1 and Facebook Messaging Integration

    I believe I read that Facebook was taking over development of the app which would be great. Now if we can just get Zuckerberg to use a WP.
