I too wanted to upgrade from Surface Pro 4 but was leery of Surface Pro X after watching reviews and was going to buy Surface Pro 7. A friend generously let me borrow his Surface Pro X to make sure it could run all the programs I need, in particular it had to run Citrix for Epic medical records...

I've owned Surface 1-4 but I am holding off on Surface 2017. The reason is the terrible experience I had with Surface Pro 4 when it was first released: continuous display crashes, screen color issues, wake problems, rear camera didn't work, battery drains, keyboard recognition issues. My Surface...

I'm on my third Band 2 and the rubber strap has split again. It hasn't quit yet. I love Band 2 but I don't want to pay for another replacement. I may go for Fitbit Blaze.

I went to the Microsoft Store today and the manager replaced the Band 2 under warranty. Initially the salesperson wanted to use MS Complete but after they had difficulty looking up my information the manager told him to just use the warranty. The salesperson said he hadn't seen that type of...

This is obviously a design flaw. The rubber material is wearing and eventually failing at the contact point of the edge of the display housing. I don't expect a device like this to last indefinitely but I think it is reasonable to expect a year with normal use.

Here is mine. It is size medium and was purchased the week it was released in the US. I wear it all the time and it split about a week ago. It still works but I anticipate it will eventually fail as the mechanism continues to be exposed. I am going to take it to the Microsoft store next weekand...

What I don't get is Runkeeper synchs with Microsoft Band but there is no Windows Phone app and Runtastic has a Windows Phone app but doesn't synch with Microsoft Band.

Oops! Thanks.

I'm on AT&T in the US and I am still on .29.

Windows Hello on the Surface seems to recognize from a wider range of distance from the camera. On the 950 XL Hello works well as long as the phone is held close to the face, directly in front of the eyes without a lot of body motion. Does anyone know if Hello on the phone is exactly like on...

1. Lasts all day with medium use. I've yet to end the day with less than 20% but I am not constantly on my phone. 2. General smooth, no lag but some apps, like Spotify, are slow to load. Spotify was slow to load on the 1520 too. 3. Honestly I haven't had a single freeze or spontaneous reboot...

You might want to look into switching to Sprint and trading your 950 towards an iPhone.

I have been using the Lumia 950 XL for one month now and have not had any major problems: no restarts, no camera issues, no video issues, no heat problems, no email problems, no Bluetooth issues. I haven't used Continuum yet. When I read about some other people's experiences I worry the phone...

I'm very happy with the camera. All I did was push the camera button and crop.

I have the dual sim Lumia 950 XL with AT&T and I am typing this on a Nook tablet connected to my phone. Bluetooth is on on both the phone and the tablet but they are connected with WiFi. I've used the Hotspot about four times and have have not had any issues.
