    Outlook v17.6868.40732.0

    Seeing some strange functionality and want to confirm if anyone else is seeing it. I'm on 950xl. After latest update (see version in title), I have two strange behaviours: clearing a notification from action center decrements email count on live tile appbar controls are in left-handed/aligned...

    Free Display Dock via the Lumia Offers app on 950 XL?

    Not sure if anyone else is getting this issue, but resets, app updates, and a lot of other tries wouldn't work for me to get the Lumia Offers app working. However, strangely, logging into a MS account (or website that uses one) in the Edge browser DID work. Logging into any apps had no effect...

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    Difficult choice, but I'd likely pick the 950. I have an XL on the way, and having the other for development and comparison purposes wouldn't be a bad thing.

    Volume button positions

    (a) OldPueblo [silly I can't put in a link...] The logic of what you're saying makes sense, I figured something similar. However, this is another case of non-standard design by MS in phones. This has hurt them before, and I think it'll do so again. Doesn't matter if it's "better", because...

    Emoticons are gone after last update

    Anyone find a fix for this? I'm not seeing emojis anywhere. I'm running the current firmware. I rarely get messages with them, but it's annoying to know it's a present feature that's not working.

    BUILD 10166: Changes, Improvements, Bugs

    Okay, I've made a few attempts to get the update (uninstalling for space, checking for app updates, restarts). Still don't have it, and getting the same issue (item #3 above, as the system won't let me post a link) each time after the download (during installing). Gonna flash back to 8.1...

    BUILD 10166: Changes, Improvements, Bugs

    Already stripped the device down. I'm bordering on flashing back to 8 and trying that path. It's a 635, so it may be a hardware thing.

    BUILD 10166: Changes, Improvements, Bugs

    Hitting a bug during install. After a while of waiting, the phone shows the "resuming..." load screen and boots to start menu. Update not completed. Trying to re-access settings results in loading screen, and boot to start. Can't check status or anything. Anyone else getting this?

    Lumia camera crashing: how to fix it?

    Tried the uninstall-reinstall and that didn't fix it. At that point I decided to check for a phone update, and there was one. By the way, Denim is available for Lumia 635 on Koodo Mobile (Telus) in Canada. Tried launching after the update and got a message that it wouldn't launch, but I should...

    Lumia camera crashing: how to fix it?

    My spouse's 635's Lumia camera app is crashing on launch. Restart doesn't fix it. Regular camera works fine. Anyone else hitting this?

    Article layout/design

    Thanks for the reply. Though I assume you have internal tracking to assert that the vast majority enjoyed the re-design, I hope you'll understand the accessibility concerns in your layouts. As a result, feel free to treat this as a biased user acceptability test. With that in mind, here's a few...

    Article layout/design

    Sorry if this is double-posted, as I didn't see anything else about it. Also, sorry as it gets ranty. Back at the end of the year, we saw different article designs for the 12 giveaways. The last day or so we've seen a very similar design used more often. Is this the new default article view...
