Groove was the one thing keeping me on Windows 10 Mobile - I love it and use it for hours every day. I recently purchased a Galaxy S8+, thinking it was finally time to switch, but the Android Groove app was so poor that I switched back (the main issue being that Groove on Android doesn't support...

Just received Panorama update on non-insider build. I'm on an unlocked Lumia 950XL in the U.S.

Adding to this thread to note that I too have experienced numerous reboots since purchasing the 950 XL a few weeks ago. I see numerous reports attributing the reboots to issues with apps being installed on the Micro SD card, but I don't believe that's the case universally. While I do have a...

I've been struggling a bit with my Qi charger myself. I purchased the fairly cheap Anker PowerPort charger, which was suggested in the "Prep for Lumia 950" article here on WC: Prep for Lumia 950 & 950 XL: Wireless charging & what charger to get | Windows Central Unfortunately my experience...

Re: Issues Transferring Photos To Lumia 950 XL I do actually use OneDrive extensively - all my photos and files are stored there. However, given the phone's large quantity of internal storage, I prefer to keep my photo albums and other content stored locally on the device, so I am not at the...

Re: Issues Transferring Photos To Lumia 950 XL Hmm - an interesting thought and appreciate the response, but no I don't have the pin enabled (either in general or to kick in upon entering standby). I've received these issues with the phone locked, unlocked and on the home screen, and even...

Issues Transferring Photos To Lumia 950 XL I recently purchased the Lumia 950 XL and have had a pretty terrible experience transferring photos from my Windows 10 PC to the device. I'm unsure if this post would be most appropriate in this forum, or in general Windows 10 Mobile - but thought it...

For those in New York City, I can confirm that both the Flagship Store on 5th Ave and the kiosk at the Time Warner Center are not releasing them today, according to the representative I spoke to on the phone. He knew already that the flagship store would not be releasing them until tomorrow, but...

Great updates, both - thank you guys!

Update: I decided to give my local store (the flagship 5th avenue store in NYC) a call to see if they had any new news since my visit on Tuesday. I told the sales associate that I had been in the store earlier this week and was told the XL might be this Friday - her response was that that was...

This is very much in line with the info Musicman originally provided. It may be that the date was originally tentatively going to be the 20th, but there have since been internal communications pushing it back to next week - some stores may not have received that information yet, hence the number...

I was wondering about Micro SD's myself ever since I read WC's article on the subject yesterday - glad I found this thread, and thanks for posting. In my case I'm looking to upgrade from the 64GB SanDisk Extreme Plus I use in my Lumia 1520 to something with at least 128GB+ of storage (I have a...

No worries, and neither was I trying to discount yours. Lots of room for errors and different stories from different stores or even different employees, as you pointed out. Just wanted to share my experience as well, as food for thought. Since the business card of the person you spoke to...

I just returned from the Microsoft Flagship Store on 5th Ave in NYC. I spoke with a sales rep and, keeping in mind the info posted about a Thanksgiving release, asked him if they had an in-store date yet - I said I was hearing it would likely be Thanksgiving. He responded that they still didn't...

Right - that is exactly how I had thought it worked. Until I realized that you can't do any of that if you already use the Xbox in conjunction with your cable box, which was one of the big advertised features they pushed at launch. Not sure about your last comment - hope you're being...
