    W10 Mobile Download Hanging

    For what is worth - I was given a NOS 929 (Icon) free of charge and am trying to get it configed for use. I'm having the same exact problem(s) and had tried the same solution set. Updates wedge between 63 and 87%, and take 10-12 hours, sucks huge wifi bandwidth while doing so. Would love to...

    Lumia 822 on 8.1 vs. Icon on 10

    Again, yes. DT to wake and glance fully supported on both my devices (the prime reason I never migrated to the Icon...) Battery seems just slightly less. However, my best results were from a clean install! You will avoid a load of issues.

    Lumia 822 on 8.1 vs. Icon on 10

    Quick answer - Yes. I have both a 822 and 928 running the latest production version. Both seem to work quite well. Very serviceable as daily drivers...

    I am entering on behalf of Joe Belfiore. If I win, I'll give it to him so he has one for his next vacation...

    Joe Belfiore uses an iPhone

    As stated prior, the over / under on this leans to the side of BS. Whether Joe decides to return from sabbatical or not, whether or not he is "on his own time, whether or not there is a plan of record to deep six Win Mobile - the guy needs to have enough freek'n smarts not to flaunt his iPhone...

    Windows 10 Mobile on Verizon Lumia 928

    Same with me here. I used my wife's old 928 (she now has an Icon) so I could join the insiders program with low risk. Now have .29 running very well on the 928 and have adopted it as my daily driver!

    why is the lumia 822 missing from the list of forums

    A short sighted move by the site gear geeks /mods. because: The 822 is still the "newest" phone dropped in to archive, as previously stated, is now updated to Denim, More Verizion users still forced to use older hardware due to limited upgrade path, still room (empty slots on the sub-page...

    For the first time in WP history, I'm not wanting the update

    Wow! I re-read for context again and you are correct. My apologies to the forum for the confusion. However, I still assert that universal landscape support may give some mitigation to the change. For the record, I am against the change.

    For the first time in WP history, I'm not wanting the update

    I agree with TIZIANO27, but I would contend that "awkward" is a kind way of stating ergonomically backward. xandros9 kindly provided the link to the Pocketnow article (link above) that perfectly illustrates the ergonomic "awkwardness" of these UI decisions (particularly in larger screen...

    Do you agree that Windows phone needs more landscape orientation?

    Re: Mostly ergonomic for me. I much prefer to use my device two handed. In portrait mode, the "reach" is sometimes cumbersome to the top of the screen even with a 4" display. Luckily, most typing apps, browser and some games already support landscape mode. However, I think that a landscape...

    Three-way Calling from Two Inbound Calls?

    Thanks for the note. I did read your noted passage, but it does not address the two inbound issue. I'll attempt to try the merge function you noted if and when I can duplicate two inbound calls again (hard to test....)
