I've been a strong advocate of the Windows Lumia line, starting with the 900, then the 920, 550, 830 and 950. Maybe another one in there somewhere. No doubt, the 950 has been the best, I got it on its release day in 2015. But it started to go, and had reached a point where it was shutting off...

I would have done exactly what you mentioned, turn something off. When you look under Settings>Battery, what apps are using the majority of your battery?

A little more info on this, if I have my messaging app open, i get the alert tone when a new text arrives. If I've got my phone open on the start screen, I don't get an alert, nor do I see anything on the Messaging icon showing a new text has arrived. When the phone is locked, no notification...

Until a couple of days ago, everything had been working fine on my L950. Suddenly I'm not getting text alerts, I'm not getting the new text icon on the screen, no vibration when a new text arrives, no text sound. Any suggestions on what to check? I've looked at Settings/Notifications, but didn't...

My dream phone: the size of an iPhone 7 (not plus) removable battery runs Windows Mobile expandable memory with a uSD OLED standard 3/8" headphone jack wireless charging, either Qi or A4WP 120G native storage top-end camera with OIS and AF quick charging, either USB-PD or QC freedom from iWorld...

Unfortunately there aren't any MS Bands left, unless MS has started the production back up. It's unfortunate, the features were terrific and it worked very well. When the rubber on my band recently split, I did a little research and bought a Garmin Vivosmart HR. It doesn't have the features that...

It might make sense to wait to purchase a system until after the SP5 is released, it will likely drive the price of the SP4 down a little. I've been thinking about picking up an SP4, but don't need it immediately, so I'm planning to wait until the SP5 is at least announced.

I assume you're running Windows 10? This was an issue discovered a while ago, the fix is to not use the sleep mode. Instead, change your settings so that when the power button is hit, or when the computer is closed, it goes into hibernate. Apparently when the system is in sleep mode, it will...

I followed advice given above to turn off the auto brightness. This solved the problem instantly, and it hasn't returned. Yes, you may end up with a bright screen in the middle of the night if you check your phone, but a small price to pay to have this resolved. I have to give beman39 credit, he...

Unfortunately I don't remember, it's been too long. I wish I would have taken notes.

I know it's only a matter of time until my band splits again, so I've been doing a little looking around. I'll probably go with the Charge 2. It's not as full-featured as the band 2, but it's similar in size, and has some of the features I use. I will miss my Starbucks card.

I tried it last night, it wouldn't load, but I just tried it again and it loaded.

I did receive this from a colleague: Surface Phone Unveiled For Microsoft Keynote 31 - NewsOXY

I remember the day I cut my ties to the other phones, and went all in with the L950. I've so enjoyed this phone, even with the little quirks that have come and gone. Is it my lot to become attached to a product / eco system, only to have to move on? The MS Band, the MS Lumia phones, Starbucks...

Re: Microsotf account settings 'out of date' but will not update I'm not sure about your phone, but you mention one drive, the store etc. I earn MS rewards by using the bing search engine, it quit working over the weekend. I emailed MS support, they responded back saying a number of people are...
