    Will the Lumias 950 (XL) fit the car mount cr-200 (-201)?

    It seems that the Qi charging coils of the 950XL and the CR-200/201 car charger don't align properly. It's a little higher up on the phone and a little lower on the charger than what we need for them to work together.

    Lumia 950XL Bugs + Defects

    Nothing comes to mind with this post except these two items above, which I want to respond: "4." It's looking in the entire field of vision of the Front Facing Camera and Infrared Iris Scanner to "see" you. Many things can impact this though depending on glare with your glasses from lighting...

    One dock for the Surface/Surface Book/Windows phone

    Yeah, there's really no technical reason why they can't do a unified dock in the future, but for now there's a few core differences: 1) Surface Dock has MANY more port options including audio out and Ethernet, additional USB, and can power 2 4K monitors. It is both sized and weighted to suit a...

    950/950XL have super sensitive touch?

    I know that the specs indicate they are SUPPOSED to support it, but I believe the feature is missing from the current W10M version of the Touch settings UI. That suggests it's not fully implemented for W10M at this point, so they probably hid it until they update and validate it,

    PSA: Regarding (restoring) setting up your new 950XL

    While I'm not normally a fan of restoring backups across device models, I had a fairly bare bones 640 setup with latest W10M Insider Build and opted to take a chance. I had zero issues with the process, and my device is running GREAT with only a handful of build-specific known issues (like the...

    Lumia 950XL Bugs + Defects

    If your phone is rebooting itself randomly, my advice is attempt a hard/software reset and do NOT restore it from backup. Failing that, it's possibly a hardware defect and should be replaced. At least one person I know had this issue and is replacing hers. All of the other issues I've seen...

    Lumia 830 capacitive button issues

    This is probably because you have a screen protector on it. It's a "known issue" with the sensitivity of the buttons on this device, unfortunately. Everyone is hoping proper Denim firmware will correct it.

    Look how the Android community is embracing Windows 10!

    Haven't read all the responses yet, but on the contrary... I would gladly welcome banking apps on desktop rather than web sites! Why? Same reason I like the mobile app for Chase-- remote deposit. If I can do that by app, I'd go for this in a heartbeat. That said the reality is that with the new...

    Is the battery life on the 830 better than the 930?

    The 830 battery is dramatically better than the 930, at least if you're in the US. The display and full cellular band support drain it less.

    Did Windows 10 Fix This Bug?

    If it's a home computer, you should still be using a password on all accounts. But more importantly, why aren't you signing in with Microsoft ID?

    Lumia Cinemagraph

    Because the point of a Cinemagraph is to share it online, and the web does support GIF. If you just wanted to look at it on the phone, open Cinemagraph and watch it.

    Why all of a sudden is Windows Central filled with ads?

    Re: why all of a sudden windows central is filled with ads I prefer using tracking protection lists in IE, particularly the Easy Lists and Privacy Choice ones.

    Yes, you'll definitely want to make a backup.

    Lumia Denim for unlocked 930s?

    There's no difference other than camera and Hey Cortana. Both are genuinely awesome, but that's about it for meaningful improvements.
