I attempted to use a OnePlus One Android phone for 1 week. It was the 12.1.1 update with Cortana into Android just like Windows Phone. Overall, it was a miserable experience. It really made me appreciate WP. Only real downside is there were a couple more apps I could use, and Outlook on...

Would suggest a Surface 2 instead. Also an ARM processor and around the same price.

Got them yesterday, and put it on today. They work great, fit perfect, and were easy to install. I just have the normal Surface Pen. The pen still works. Its slightly different in that the pen doesn't slide on the screen quite as easily as it did when directly on the glass of the screen. I...

I've always custom ordered my laptops and got a matte screen. It's not about aesthetics...the glossy glare causes me headaches. I put a matte screen protector on almost all devices for that reason.

I'm at the kitchen table, window behind me, low amount of light from the window, yet I see my reflection. PS. I just ordered this anti-glare screen protector. I'll report back how well it works. I buy the same brands for my phone, so I expect it should do well. Amazon.com: iLLumiShield -...

Same problem here. Would love a recommendation on antiglare screen protector.

I updated from 8.1 to the new Win 10 build on my HTC M8. So far so good. Much smoother than last updates (been a few months since I last tried an update).

I watched the new Windows Weekly show last night, and Mary Jo Foley said the phone is built to be universal, and has the technical requirements to run on Verizon. However Verizon must "authenticate the chips" to be allowed on their network, and they won't (or haven't yet) certified the new 950...

Find an Accelerometer app in the store that shows X,Y, and Z coordinates. If you don't see it move then you have faulty hardware. Happened to my HTC M8. Lucky was within 1yr warranty so HTC fixed for free.

My wife and I still have AT&T unlimited. I have done the.math, and we could save 20-50/month based on our usage. However... These grandfathered plans still offer subsidized phones. So an iPhone is $199. When you factor in the phone cost, since the new plans basically finance the full cost of...

Me!

Don't think so, but not sure. In their demo, they showed some code changes required to get an Android app working on Windows. So, even if you could, there is no guarantee that Android APK built for Google Market will work on windows.

Couldn't really get that solved on my Venue. I think I installed a rotation lock app to sort of get it working in an app. It also kills the Venue from going to sleep properly.
