    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I have been using WP since 2010 and my Samsung Focus. I've been a WP fan until I got a 950. I'm sure if I were to compare Windows 10 Mobile to the original WP7 OS, Windows 10 would be light years ahead in every category. But you know what, for some reason it doesn't feel that way. Maybe the tech...

    Lumia 950 problems seem to go on forever

    I just got my Nexus 6p yesterday...a lot to do to setup to do still. It's too early for me to post a comparison to the 950 - heck I used that phone for over 6 months before I threw in the towel. I do miss the live tiles already, and I think Android's UX is all over the map, but this OS is so...

    How do I make an Android phone Microsoft oriented and minimize Google services?

    I just moved from a L950 to a Nexus6P. Still trying to "move in". The biggest issue I see so far is with the Outlook app for Android. I like to keep my work and private lives separate. I have my personal mail flowing into my Outlook.com account, along with my personal calendar items. I have my...

    Lumia 950 problems seem to go on forever

    Well I did the hard reset this weekend. So far, I found that my phone still disconnects from cellular network. Yesterday, my girlfriend emailed me to tell me to call her since my phone was apparently not working again! All her calls were rolling into voice mail. All while I'm sitting at my desk...

    Cortana button now works on Android ? Really Microsoft ?

    I think this is good news. @xandros9 said it best, "an escape route." My Band 2 worked great with my 1020. When I got my 950 I couldn't believe how Cortana (and the keyboard) didn't work between the WM10 and Band2. As I'll probably be jumping ship soon, I'm glad to hear that the user...

    ATT 950 dropping data connection

    After a factory reset this weekend, I'm afraid to say I'm still having this issue. Today my GF EMAILED me to tell me to call her! She said "your phone is probably doing that disconnect "thing" again, so call me when you see this." Yup, that's what I'm reduced to. I can only guess how many other...

    Do you regret getting a 950?

    I regret getting this phone. The interesting thing is that this is hands down the WORST phone I've ever owned. I've had so many problems (I posted a big list in another thread about 950 problems) and they just don't go away. I did a factory reset this weekend to see if it would clear up some of...

    Lumia 950 Issues

    Try hitting the mute/un-mute button when people can't hear you. It seems to work for me when my call starts to drop in/out. It also works if you get the caller echo problem...that and turning off "hey cortana" if you have it on. Turning it off improved the echo problem, but it never fully went...

    Lumia 950 problems seem to go on forever

    Re: Lumia 950 never ending problems - Anybody care to add to this? LOL, I should probably do this before I throw this phone against the wall. I saw the procedure to do the hard reset. Does anyone know if the phone will go out and pickup all the OTA updates that have come out since launch...

    ATT 950 dropping data connection

    Just wondering if we're all seeing the same thing. When my phone drops off my carrier's network, I don't get calls or text messages. If I'm someplace where I'm on Wifi, everything else works; emails, apps and games, and other notifications etc...I just have to notice that the signal indicator...

    ATT 950 dropping data connection

    I have an ATT 950 that does this as well. I'm not on the insider program. I toggle airplane mode switch as well. I started taking screen shots of my phone every time this happens so I can document how often this happens and the hopes of maybe finding some pattern. In the month of May, it...

    Lumia 950 problems seem to go on forever

    Lumia 950 never ending problems - Anybody care to add to this? Here's my quick list of issues: 1) Random restarts - the phone will sometimes reboot for no apparent reason. It used to happen frequently when going from the camera to the camera roll, but this seems to have stopped after some of...

    Can't Stop Windows 10 upgrade!

    Help, I have a Windows 7 Pro machine that is used for very specific tasks within my small business. Today I'm getting a Windows 10 nag screen that I just can't stop. Of all my other PCs in the office, I've never seen a nag screen that has no visible way to opt out. I'm slowing upgrading most of...

    Lumia 520, 720, 820, 920, 1020, 1320 (x20 series) Owners

    Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners I'm running W10M on a 950. My last phone was a 1020. IMHO while it's always nice to have the latest and greatest, you guys on 8.1 are not missing too much at this point. Unless you want to install buggy, crash prone experience on your old, but...

    ATT Lumia 950 & Ford Sync, how can I get it working together?

    Re: ATT Lumia 950 & Ford Sync, how can I get it working together? UPDATE: So I finally had a chance to update my car, Sync with My Ford Touch, to the latest version. Thanks @anachrotech for the notice about the new software. It took a little while, but it was pretty easy to do. I'm happy to...
