Your opinion is exactly that: your opinion. How is the Android notification shade better than the Windows Notification Center? I have 4 email accounts, 3 of which regularly get numerous emails a day. I can quickly see all of the emails I get with the notification center, while Android's...

I switched to a Moto G5+ back in November. Been using it as my daily driver. While it's nice having all the apps and being able to use Waze on my F-150's Sync3 Screen via Android Auto, Android in general just sucks. There's way too many things I can snipe about here, but all the little things...

When I pull out my Pre 2 and set it next to my 950Xl, it's just hilariously small. The screen on the 950XL is about twice the height of the Pre 2's screen. My Pre 2 also runs the battery down quickly, making it unusable. But, man, does it fit like a nice river stone in the hand. If I could have...

I work for one of the largest corporations in the world. We will begin migration to Windows 10 in a couple of months. One of the biggest reasons holding a number of companies back had been some key applications that most companies have to use for security and/or compliance. A couple of real big...

What build are you on? Also, what brightness level do you have your display set to? I keep mine between 10-15% with Auto-brightness enabled. Usually more than enough brightness for most situations (quick to bump up if not). The display is one of the main power drivers on the phone. If you have...

I don't use that app, but here's a couple of screenshots of my use that I posted a couple days back in another thread. The most drop I ever see is around 8-12% per hour for certain games. About half that for browsing. Overall, the battery life is great now. Oh, and for others, if the Galaxy...

On the Preview Build, my battery easily lasts all day without charging. See my attachments. You can see two large drops today, and both were for extended playing time on Crossy Road. The rest of the time is either idle or some quick use or browsing. Overall, I'm very happy with the battery life...

I'm on the Preview Build, and the 950XL is outstanding. I got mine a couple of months ago for $477 from Amazon (Single SIM international version). Best phone, by far, that I've ever had. There's still the occasional W10 bugs, but they are few and far between now.

The signal on my 950XL is about the same on AT&T as my Icon was on Verizon. The VZW signal is better in certain spots of the facility I work at, but, throughout the Tampa Bay Area, I've gotten similar signal strength. Mostly LTE, with it occasionally going to 4G. I live in NW Hillsborough in a...

Well, I've now had my 950XL for about 2 months now. I love this phone. While the metal ring on the Icon was nice, it also dented fairly easily and the black model's black coating (I originally wanted the white Icon, but they were rare at the time, like Unicorns and honest politicians) slowly...

I'm on the preview build (relatively safe) and it's working with very few bugs. The last production build seems to have a number of random weird stuff happen, which is one of the reasons I switched to it. Most importantly, the Mobile Hotspot seems to correctly turn off and on properly, or at...

I was beginning to think these things were like unicorns. Would be nice if they were a little more readily available, like, I don't know, say in the Microsoft store (looking at you MS). Hopefully, these will start hitting sites in the States like Amazon.

That's where I started. But it just says Camera Shutter. I turned that off and, lo and behold, the video start/stop sound is turned off by this setting as well. They should either better label that setting, or have separate ones for shutter and video. Thanks.

Anyone know how to turn off the sound that triggers when you start doing video recordings? On my 950XL, even with the ringer at 5, it's quite loud and annoying, especially when I'm trying to record something like a bird or squirrel at my bird feeder without them freaking out and scattering. It's...

I know a couple of people who used rice to fix a phone that was dunked in water. The key to prevent any damage is to immediately remove the battery. Then place a bunch of uncooked rice in a bag, the phone with it, seal it up, and leave it in a warm place for a day or two. If you wait too long to...
