    Lumia 650 sound works only when bending with force

Obvious broken connection to the speaker but what happens when I unscrew the dozen...

    What if Windows Mobile does end?

    I do not want any other phone but a Windows phone. What may happen if Microsoft ends support for mobile? Reminds me when my Motorola StarTac {brick} phone changed from analog signal to digital signal. One morning I woke up and the switch to digital had happened. My StarTac phone was useless...

    Thanks, doubt means hope still. Will keep watching for it, like I do for the death of Skype relay and the return of Messaging Everywhere.

    Why does my phone keep restarting?

    Sitting at the airport. Promised mother in law I would wait for her call. My Lumia 650 is stuck on reboot mode. Dang you Microsoft! Its going to be a bad scene if and when I catch up to my much feared mother in law!?
