    Trying to Convert a friend from Android to 950xl

    This was one of the major reasons I chose Windows Phone back then, along with no virus/malware and it's very different than the other two. It's now been about 10 days that I reluctantly switched from my Lumia 830 to the Big Brother Google land with a Moto X Play, running Android 6.0.1. I'm a...

    830 in-call mic stopped working.

    Had the same issue as described here. Ordered replacement microphone jacks, assuming mine was defective and the inline microphone detection was stuck "on"... Got the same results after replacing the part : behavior was not fixed, still no voice in calls or Cortana. I even completely removed the...

    Finally on board with W10M, It's truly stable now

    The .242 and previous .213 have been very good and stable on the 830. Very minor niggles here and there but overall very good, won't be going back to 8.1 anymore.

    830 Lumia has lost microphone unless in speaker mode?

    Re: 830 Lumia has lost microphone unless in speaker mode Update : Tapping he phone and cleaning the headphone jack wasn't fixing the problem anymore, so I opened the phone, removed the headphone jack and cleaned it up some more. This worked for a while, but it's busted again now. I have...

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Don't know if at&t rolled out the update, but you can install Windows Insider if you want W10M right now. Just make sure to choose Release or Production ring, not Fast or Slow rings.

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Aye, agreed on mobile sites should be leaner on ads. Seems to me sites should also ensure they work well with their intended audience : if your site is about Windows Mobile, make sure it displays correctly and works correctly for that platform. For the WC app : I was trying out the W10M...

    48h battery life? Color me impressed, I get a days worth at most, even with 8.1. Maybe time for a new battery... I switched data collection to basic, will see if it has any impact.

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    I made the jump two days ago from 8.1 to 10586.218 using Windows Insider release preview ring, and everything has been very smooth since. It first updated to .107 then .218 the next morning. Just to contradict me though, I tried replying to this thread last night from Edge, and that failed, booh...

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    I'm tempted to jump in on the .218 now... From my understanding, the .218 released to carriers and the one available through insider preview "release ring" are exactly the same, right ?

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Aye, I second this motion : when commenting on your W10M experience, please start by stating whether this is on the public release or the insider builds (redstone, etc).

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Is this the release preview or the insider Fast version (RedStone) ? New version 10586.218 out just today, let's see if this one irons out more bugs. Still waiting for my carrier release.

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Good! I had tried W10M some time ago and used the recovery tool to revert back to 8.1, got the firmware update then.

    Is there not also a firmware update, or do you also get that through insider?
