Hey all, I grabbed the S8 yesterday. I got a good deal at Best Buy-$575 unlocked version. I have to say it's a sweet phone. Beautiful screen. Very responsive. Lightning-fast Iris Scanner and from a further distance than the Lumia 950. I was able to install dark themes (through Substratum) not...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I forgot to add the AMOLED screen as a feature I must have. I am guessing this would reduce the number of options I can go with. This also explains why I need to have a dark mode of some sort.

Hi all, Ah, where do I start? I got my first smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S2 in 2011 and used it for 4 years. I liked it a lot. I'm a power user, so of course I rooted it and installed custom that lengthened its lifetime to up to 4 years. I'm also a Microsoft fan. I've been using Windows...

I am with the others. Don't do it. I used Android for 4 years and in early 2015 switched to Windows phone because they had decent market share and I am a Microsoft fan. Today, I'm actually considering switching out my Lumia 950 for a Samsung Galaxy S8. I am the power user in the house and I'm...

Hi all, 2-3 weeks ago I moved from the Release Preview to the Fast/Slow Ring. I'm on this build right now. When I first switched to Fast Ring I noticed a weird issue where the battery percentage increases/drops rapidly (by 30-40%) in a short period of time. Also saw cases where when charging...

I'm on the Release Preview ring. There are a couple of fixes in the Fast Ring that I'm interested in. Do you guys think the Fast Ring (this latest version) is stable enough for daily driver. The reason I ask is because the momentum is low and MS isn't including a lot of fixes, so I am assuming...

Do you guys think after this week's bug bash another build will be released and hopefully onto the Slow Ring?

I have the same frustration... and this is mobile OS that is supposed to be targeted for business. Pshhh..

If you guys are getting different results using the same browser version, then the test is bogus.

Yesterday I switched from Firefox to Edge as my default full-time browser. The reason for hesitating to switch before are two missing plugins I use very often and they are SpeedDial FVD and Tile Tabs. uBlock Origin and Pocket are both available and are working fine. The reason for changing my...

I know this is almost a 1.5 year old post, but I recently got Frontpoint and I confirm that geofencing is not working for me. Live tile is dead too. I set up two alarm reminder notifications for my wife's Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android) and my Lumia 950 with Anniversary Update. Geofencing...

Tempered Glass Screen Protector - by TruShield

Well maybe if you get out of the water and take off your scuba diving gear and try to take a picture on dry land, maybe it won't wobble anymore.

I think I'll be waiting for Scorpio as well even though I would have liked it before late 2017. By then, hopefully UWP will have matured and we'll have tons of cool and full-featured apps available. I also wish if Dish Network went into agreement with Microsoft to just use the Scorpio or any...

It's not randomly I think... Ever since the AU update I started getting it. To reproduce: 1) Turn on screen. 2) Wait for screen to dim prior to completely turning off. 3) Touch the screen before the screen turns off. It seems like the timer for keeping the screen on resets upon touching but the...
