    Idol 4S SD card dismount issues?

    I have had a similar dismounting issue with a SanDisk 128GB card. This same card ran flawlessly in my L640 for years. I don't think I'm seeing it with the same frequency you are, but it is certainly an annoyance. It's pretty random and rebooting my phone solves the issue, so it doesn't seem to...

    WiFi Calling

    Been working great for me too. No issues and great quality. In fact, while on travel an ice storm knocked out cell service where I was, so I was thankful to have it.

    Brand New Surface Pro 4 (Stuck on repeating Surface logo loop)

    I had this same thing happen to me, I was so frustrated. I found a video on YouTube with some recommendations for this behavior. I left it unplugged and in the reboot cycle overnight so that it would discharge the battery. In the morning, I had to press the power button multiple times until the...

    Is it safe to delete the 'windows.old' folder in the local disk after upgrading to Windows 10?

    You should be good to go, so long as you remove it through the disk cleanup utility (search disk cleanup on your computer). You'll need to click the "Remove System Files" button to see the option to remove previous Windows installations and temporary install files. I removed both off my Surface...

    What effect will discontinuing the MSN Health and Fitness app have on the Band?

    The MSN Health & Fitness app is separate from the Microsoft Health app that the Band uses. My guess is that they are eliminating the MSN app to consolidate the features into the Microsoft Health app. This will also help with any confusion between the two.

    Windows Central photo contest: Sunshine

    Taken with my new Lumia 640 using Lumia Camera 5.0 on auto, no post touch-up or editing. Background: I was in Salt Lake City on business and had some time to kill, decided to walk over to Temple Square and captured this while walking through.

    Microsoft Flip case question

    If you're talking about the Microsoft flip covers, they replace the whole back, so no worries there.

    What Windows phone do you have? And which one did you start with?

    I currently have the Lumia 640. My first Windows Phone was the HTC 8XT. Going back to the Windows Mobile days, I started with the Motorola Q and then the HTC Touch Pro2.

    Lumia 640 back covers?

    Yeah, I was having a hard time with the price too. Actually glad I had to order it online, enabled me to use some Bing rewards points to get a $10 off coupon for the online Microsoft store (free shipping is a bonus too). I only wish it had the soft-touch rubberized backing like I had on my HTC 8XT.

    Lumia 640 back covers?

    Yeah, I had tried my local store as well, but they didn't have anything in yet. They told me best bet was online.

    Lumia 640 back covers?

    Your best bet is probably the online Microsoft store. Unfortunately, they only have the backs with the flip cover, but it does come in orange, cyan, and black. Not sure if they're all matte (black is), but the photo suggests they are.

    Screen issue with Waze on 640

    I don't have this app so I can't try it, but is it cut off at the bezel or is the navigation bar covering it up? If it's the navigation bar, you should be able to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to hide it. This should enable you to hit the button.

    Lumia 640 Case & Cover Thread

    re: Lumia 640 Case & Cover Thread I picked up the flip cover case in matte black from Microsoft with some Bing rewards points. Overall, its a nice case, the back replaces the original and fits perfectly. The flip cover itself is really thin and is molded to cover the screen without overhang...

    How do you turn off the wifi-calling on this phone?

    Thought I'd point out that under the SIM settings you can set a calling preference for cellular when connected to Wi-Fi.

    Walmart Lumia 640 Wi-Fi calling?

    I can also confirm that both Wi-Fi calling and a post-paid TMO SIM work fine with the 640. My Wi-FI calling was automatically enabled when I popped my SIM in, but if you need to get to it, it is under "Cellular+SIM" under the SIM settings. You can also set your calling preference there...
