It feels like this article is kind of burying the lead: it doesn't mention PSNow once (then again, maybe the answer is to pretend it never happened, like that console that came out between the Wii and the Switch, the Something-U? What was it?), and mentions about Gaikai for one sentence. Sony...

...I feel like this would be a more compelling statement if it wasn't so easy to point out to Microsoft the many times it was bad to be first. :sweaty:

A week ago, Cortana's text/app notification syncing with my PC started to slow down (so if I typed a text on Windows 10, it would go through an hour or more later). Then it completely stopped. Since then, I've reinstalled Cortana and the Microsoft Launcher (which shouldn't be necessary for this...

This is exactly the issue I'm encountering....do you know if it's local to a specific version of Groove, or to WM10? It's irritating enough that I wouldn't mind going back to an earlier version of WM10 (or even earlier) to fix it.

Hey if you're still having this issue, try updating (either normally or via Windows Insider). After one update I was able to install (once all the other apps had finished updating of course).

I'm running into the same issue after upgrading my Lumia 830 to WM10--no idea, every single other app seemed to install successfully, including a number of obsolete ones.

I'm going to be on WM10 very shortly because I couldn't install GDR2 by itself after wiping my phone trying to fix a problem that came from Windows update. I really hope the fix the photo quality, or there's better apps available, because my old 830 takes photos as good or better than a lot of...

That was exactly it, thank you--I wish I'd figured that out before I wiped out my phone (and GDR2 update--now I have to update to WM10 apparently, which I'm a little wary of). Not to mention wasted an entire morning trying to fix the issue. Well, if WM10 turns out to be a bust (reviews have...

Just what the title says: I use the Windows Phone App for Desktop program to sync music between Windows 10 and my Lumia 830. It was working fine earlier this week. This morning, I tried to sync up--the program couldn't detect it. Tried restarting my PC and my phone multiple times. Then I...

So last month, the Music Search function on my Lumia 830 just flat out stopped working for picking up music for the radio (despite doing the job just fine in the past). I did some test, and it doesn't seem to matter whether or not it's wifi or 4G. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Thinking about on-screen buttons, and having used my mom's Lumia 630, I've realized that I could get behind on-screen buttons with one condition: integration with apps. In other words, say I'm using FB Messenger (since Facebook removed any phone OS' ability to use its own messenger client to use...

I think you may have misunderstood me (my fault, in that case)--I meant that WP10 has not fixed the music cracking during playback issue (that's been the overwhelming report on this forum). In fact, you're the first person to tell me the music cracking was fixed "in some cases" with an 8.1...

Interesting opinion, Motor_mouth--like a few others, I went from the Lumia 925 to the Lumia 830. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the 8.1 update breaking internet sharing and music playback (the "cracking" issue) on unlocked 925s, I probably would have stayed with the 925--I don't think can...

Went from a Lumia 925 to a Lumia 830. I miss the 925's slightly sharper, more vivid screen, but the 830's ergonomics are, in my mind, superior (as is its wireless charging built-in and MicroSD slot). Putting those aside, there's a crucial difference: if you own a 920 or a 925, and update it to...

I love my Lumia 830, especially compared to the P.I.T.A. that was my Lumia 925--funny, as I bought both phones unlocked. It's not perfect, but the screen looks excellent, the construction and feel is great, the touch sensitivity works great, and the MicroSD slot is something that literally...
