I've installed Here maps, and also set it as my default map app. Whenever I search for an address and click on it in the search instead of Here maps opening, Google maps opens. Also if I go to the web browser and do a Bing search for an address, and click on the map to enlarge, again I get...

I disocovered the issue. Actually two things were happening. One, my phone was not switching to WiFi automatically for some reason. I finally seem to have gotten that issue situated, but another issue was revealed. While on WiFi the ability to actually use the internet even though it shows...

Lately I've been having a problem with searches on my Android phone using Bing. At first I thought it was just a bad internet connection, but then just for grins I tried going to google.com and it popped up right away with zero lag. So then I tried going to outlook.com, nothing. I tried going...

I found that having to press ok after entering the PIN was a bit annoying also. I suspect they did this perhaps because sometimes if the screen is unlocked in your pocket you can accidently press the screen, inadvertently entering the wrong PIN. This has never happened to me on my WP, so I...

Another feature I neglected to mention that I miss is announcing incoming caller names. Android phone does do this, but only on the very first ring. I like that the Windows phone has the option to have the name announced, and that it keeps announcing. When not near the phone or in an...

I really wish that MS had more support from the companies, and developers that build mobile apps. From the beginning it seemed as tho they just ignored the fact that a Windows Phone even existed. And then when one was made it was like an afterthought. Even when going to the phone store, the...

Little things I miss are, swipe to delete a message or thread. My phone allowing me to listen to, and use my voice to respond to text messages over Bluetooth while driving. Why am I seeing contacts just randomly delete themselves from my phone contact list? Doing a sync puts it back...

I recently had to make the move to Android after my 950, and Elite X3 bit the dust. I really do miss having Cortana alert me while driving about a new text message, and giving me an option to listen to it, and dictate a response all through the Bluetooth integration in the car. I really...

I'm sad to report that my HP Elite X3 has died. :cry: So I of course called my carrier insurance for a replacement. I was wondering what they were going to give me since the HP Elite X3 has some really unique features for hardware. Being able to dock and use as a Windows 10 desktop PC...

Personally I can't stand McAfee. I found it to be very intrusive. I've used Avast free antivirus for years with no problem. Lately I've been using just Windows Defender, along with ad and script blockers in my browser. I have my DNS setup on OpenDNS. So far my system has been working fine...

I'm still rocking my WP10. I use the 950, and HP Elite X3 for my daily. One is for work, and the other personal. I also still have my 1020, and 1520 sitting at home barely used. They do everything I need them to do. Make calls, search the internet, get my emails, check the weather, and I...

Definitely get 8GB RAM. 4GB is ok but the PC will soon get sluggish as you use it and the memory gets used up. If I were to compare this to a car, it's the difference between having a 4 cyl, and same model 6 cyl. They'll both do what you want, but one of them will do it so much better. :-)

I haven't found a one stop shop yet. Also as I've discovered since Groove ended, the music search function of Soundhound is horrible. So now I can't search a song that I'm hearing anymore. I buy CD's or MP3's from Amazon and add to my Zune library. I stream iHeart radio on my HK Invoke...

Is there a maximum # of songs supported by the Windows Phone 10? I've copied my entire collection to the microSD card, (over 11,000 songs) and they are not all showing up in the music apps. I've tried Groove, Quickplay, Pulsesound, and Extreme music. The only way I can see everything is to go...

Still using my 950, and HP Elite phones. I don't see a need to switch. It does everything I want it to do. I can talk, text, browse the web, check the weather, and play Sudoku & 2048. Now if I couldn't play 2048 I might have to start looking. LoL But seriously, I don't have any lack using...
