    *Sigh* ...unfortunately, I think my perfect Surface Phone will be a Galaxy Note.

    I have thought about the Galaxy Note series also. As a former HTC TTyn and Tilt2 user, I miss a phone with a stylus. I've also considered the LG G4, Stylus 2 and 3. Did some digging on gsmarena and found there is a Galaxy Note FE (Fan Edition). Looks like a Note 7, which I had seriously...

    Windows 10 Mobile Problems....

    To the OP, I ended up doing a "reset my phone" the other day because the screen rotation and bluetooth issues got the best of me. That seemed to remedy my issues. I just have to reload apps and do some login stuff. I do not use Outlook.com; I use Yahoo and Gmail. Maybe those will work better...

    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    I bought a bluetooth slider keyboard for a Galaxy S4, as it and the HTC One M8 are very close in size. Had to trim the plastic tray a little around the volume buttons, the 3.5mm jack, and around the camera and flash LEDs. Works pretty good, just not as good as an integrated keyboard... I...

    How to install Redstone 14356

    Just FYI for those who might be experiencing the same issues I was. Screen rotation was becoming a royal pain; the phone wouldn't consistently rotate correctly more than a day. Bluetooth really started dorking up, such that the phone dropped a couple phone calls. So, I decided I'd go into...

    I have to join the team. I do like a cup of coffee. I've also learned not all brands are created equal...

    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    - My AT&T Tilt 2 is my backup phone still. - My AT&T Titan needs an LCD. Might make it an electronic photo frame. - HTC has a trade-in program, but I stopped looking when I got to $35 per phone and my M8 for Windows didn't appear on the list yet. - GPS. Maps are probably not going to update...

    How to install Redstone 14356

    My front camera seems to work fine on 15254. But, I also changed my camera quick button to use HTC Camera quite some time ago, as the Windows camera app gave me fits. Had a random reboot yesterday. Phone seems to be a little slow to hang up, but haven't seen it hang yet.

    How to install Redstone 14356

    Build 15254.1 installed here as well. Do not see any dramatic differences; must have been a bunch of nit-noid items in this one. Already saw the rotation issue, and a delayed hangup on the phone, so those are still like the previous builds. That said, still a great phone that I'll keep using...

    How to install Redstone 14356

    Build 15252 still doing pretty good. Had a random reboot late last week, but none since then. There is a bit of a screen rotation bug that showed up today, but nothing worrisome. I just rebooted the phone, and rotation went back to normal. Runmaster Pro works correctly again! And, I don't...

    Die hard windows fans

    It seems Apple may have laid an egg this week with the iPhone 8 release. I hope the coming Surface phone is ready shortly...maybe they could release a teaser?

    How to install Redstone 14356

    15250 was better than 245. I'd leave a longer list of eval, but it wasn't a couple days after 250 got installed that 252 arrived. The annoying text overlay issue got resolved with 252. In 250, occasionally I'd see one text message listed directly on top of another one. Had to leave messages and...

    Thanks for the advice. The good news about build 15245 is it looks like the store got fixed. And my camera rotation was normal. Build 15250 installed overnight...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15245 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    To answer Ryujingt3's question... build 15245 is even worse. The screen rotation seems to be better, but I've had 3 random phone reboots that I'm aware of, the same number of phone lockups. Build 15063 was better, if I recall correctly. Sigh. I just about did a full reset back to Windows Phone...

    How to install Redstone 14356

    In my experience, build 15245 is even worse. The screen rotation seems to be better, but I've had 3 random phone reboots that I'm aware of, the same number of phone lockups. Way back at 15063 was better, if I recall correctly. Sigh. I just about did a full reset back to Windows Phone 8.1 over...

    How to install Redstone 14356

    Anybody try 15245 yet? After loading 15240, I put my phone on the slow ring. I have some rotation issues, and still can't get some apps to update, but that's about it.
