I noticed that my Samsung phone isn't uploading my photos to one drive since I did a factory reset on it. When I go to the Sync with OneDrive settings it's showing my @gmail account it should be my @live.com account. If I go to settings on my phone it's showing my @gmail.com email address. My...

Soft reset didn't help.

Hi, I did a reset your phone a few days ago because using the camera was causing my 950 to crash. Everything was okay for a couple days but then Cortana voice recognition stopped working (and Cortana seems to crash a lot too). In addition if I click the little microphone icon for speech to...

Hi, I've done a couple resets and am having some problems with Cortana on my 950. It still says that I'm in the insider preview. I ran the Windows Device Recovery Tool and it finds my 950 but it just says Package not available for this device. I have been able to use the Windows Device...

I had to reset my 950 and was dreading getting MMS working again as I'd forgotten to save my APN settings until i came across...

Hi, Twelve years ago I was able to connect my Motorola flip phone as a fax modem to my PC. This doesn't seem to be possible natively on my Lumia 950. Is there an app that will allow me to do this? I'd like to send a fax. Windows Fax and Scan on my Windows 10 PC would appear to allow me to...

Hi, The Edge browser on my 950 lost all it's favorites a few weeks ago, I think after an update. It's like the favorites it would have had as a brand new phone. I've rebooted several times. I've checked on Edge on my Windows 10 laptop and all my favorites are still there. I have synching...

I did this. It seems to have helped. Several four inch drops and it didn't reboot. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done that before.

Hi, My 950 reboots when it gets pretty small bumps. I replaced the headphone jack a month ago, it might have started then. I'm thinking it's a bad connection, any idea which one to check? -Eric

I ordered a spare battery and charger but I was dead in the water so I improvised a charger. I took a spare micro USB cable and cut off the micro end. I then stripped the wires and figured which was positive and negative. I then connected the wires to my 950 battery and plugged it into a...

Hi, The battery in my 950 died and now when I try to charge it I don't get the "dead battery" icon message or anything on the screen. I feel it vibrate like it's trying to restart every few seconds. I'm wondering if buying and inserting a new battery will fix it. I've tried plugging it in...

I've been getting problems with connecting to my Roku 3 wirelessly from my laptop and my 950 since last weekend. I'd never tried before with my laptop but my 950 used to work fine. With both the display is okay but the sound is basically white noise. I see my Roku 3 had an upgrade about a...

Hi, I'm going to be visiting the Yucatan area of Mexico in a few weeks and was thinking of buying a Telcel Mexico card. Do you know if it's compatible with my 950? I'm currently using MintSim.

The "stock" MMS settings didn't work for me either. In order to get the MMS to work I had to change the IP from IP4 to IPv4v6.

I didn't see a way to specify anything other than just Microsoft Lumia 950 in WillMyPhoneWork.net. I went in to the SIM settings and chose search for network and chose Mint LTE, 3G, 2G and then changed my Cellular Connection profile from T-Mobile to Ultra Mobile and my device has stopped...
