    Hey Cortona/Search Button Not Responding under Lockscreen (Non-Trivial, SOLVED)

    Re: Hey Cortona/Search Button Not Responding under Lockscreen (Non-Trivial) Wow. Despite hitting don't backup my phone for the clean slate. It erased my backup copy of the previous state. Woe is me.

    Hey Cortona/Search Button Not Responding under Lockscreen (Non-Trivial, SOLVED)

    Re: Hey Cortona/Search Button Not Responding under Lockscreen (Non-Trivial) Used the Windows Device Recovery Tool again. Tried to see what happens if I choose clean slate, and had same issue. This seems undoubtedly a software issue, but I can't find the trigger which causes this issue...

    Hey Cortona/Search Button Not Responding under Lockscreen (Non-Trivial, SOLVED)

    Note: Before someone mentions the check box under the speech settings, trust me I've tried many combinations with it on and off. Just got a Lumia Icon off eBay, and everything seemed to be working appropriately except for Cortona/Search under lockscreen. Neither 'Hey Cortona' or holding the...

    Purchasing a Lumia Icon from Ebay

    I guess my biggest worry is purchasing an item with a faulty battery and not finding out within a reasonable time frame. Thanks for all the info!! :)

    Purchasing a Lumia Icon from Ebay

    After a long, drawn out fiasco with Amazon in which I purchased a Lumia Icon and now are telling me are out of stock for the indefinite future, I am turning towards eBay for my purchase. I have looked at multiple sellers, but I was wondering if anyone has already purchased a device through eBay...

    Onedrive storage down to 5GB from 15 + 15GB

    I can certainly understand why many are frustrated, but I'm okay with this decision if I can keep getting an extra 100GB through bing rewards. :) Here's to hoping!

    Internet Explorer Speedup

    I'm still on windows 8.1 for a number of reasons, but for the longest time I was experiencing numerous issues with IE11 crashing, etc. Recently, I got to the point where I was going to refresh the PC, but instead opted to "reinstall" IE11 and now it is like I have a brand new browser. Here were...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    My understandings of their VoLTE is such. If you are a Verizon customer, you can only make VoLTE calls to other customers on Verizon who have VoLTE enabled or AT&T customers as of recently. The reason you can make calls to others is not because of VoLTE, but because you have CDMA as well. VoLTE...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    You are assuming that the phones have access to the CDMA firmware. This has not been confirmed, and so far has been pointing to not having access (webcasts/news articles/Microsoft tech specs). I should also add, while I hope that VoLTE will be its savior, so far only Verizon and AT&T can talk...

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    That statement likely comes from their announcement in 2014 and was not a recent statement in regards to the 950 or 950XL

    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    Ya, but some still think msft at fault as well, and I kind of agree http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-shares-blame-for-the-lumia-950-verizon-issue/
