You're using INSIDER builds. These are used by people who sign up to test unreleased software. You will encounter bugs and not everything will work. Some builds will just outright suck and they will all have known and unknown issues. If you want a better experience, try using a production OS.

Have you tried killing apps manually from the background? I find that some of the apps don't like to load again if not killed manually. A couple in particular are games that originally existed on other platforms. I find that if I kill the app instead of leaving them in history, they launch with...

Welcome to 2016. I think you're the last person who misses having all the convenience and user-friendly features of Linux in your phone. Although I'm sure if there's another, they'll find this post and reply to me.

Re: Will the Average Joe be able to buy HP Elite X3? I don't think so The X3 is targeting business users. If you want an idea of what business priorities and costs are, go look at HP, Dell, or Lenovo PCs and compare prices for business versus consumer laptops for the same processor. The price...

The Messaging app is to show Messages. Given that Skype is the closest thing MS has to iMessage, this was MS' solution to allow users an alternative to SMS that they could still see inline with their SMS and MMS messages. It was honestly a great idea and works well. That said, having a separate...

If you like the iPhone better than the 950, all things being equal, buy the iPhone. We have Windows phones because we like them. I didn't buy my 950 because I thought it would eventually be better than the iPhone, I bought it because I like it better now.

I think Microsoft overall is a better company, and does more for its customers. That said, Microsoft is still playing catchup on the mobile front, and on the branding and name recognition. Microsoft has a bad reputation in some regions, and their software is widely considered to be bug-ridden...

While you are correct that Android does have more of the market, in many areas in the US you will run into few Android users. Here in the city where I live, I'd guesstimate that 85% or more of the people I keep close contact with use iPhones. And many of them assume that everyone else does too.

I own the 640 but I haven't been using it in the last few months since I got a Lumia 950. I would suggest the 640 to anyone wanting an affordable windows phone. It always worked great for me. The camera is fairly OK, but if you really want good snaps you'll want to go with the 930. I assume the...

Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners Windows 10 isn't going anywhere. Since Windows 10 on phones is picking up steam, and costs so little for MS to support (since they support Windows 10 for desktop anyway), it will not be going anywhere. It's getting more app support than Windows 8/8.1...

Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners As far as phones from 2012 and 2013 go, the support lifespan does not mean that your phone will get any new software released in that time. If your phone is guaranteed support for 36 months, that means MS will continue to release updates to make sure...

Re: Attention!!!!! I know how to save Windows Phone & Nokia? I don't think a table option would be a bad idea. I'm not sure what I would do with "More than one home screen" but I do wish I could swipe left from start to get to something, like maybe Cortana? I feel like swiping left is a...

Other than overall design and usability, which I think has been improved in 10 from 8.1, the biggest positive change I can think of is multitasking. In the past apps had to load again when you switched between them, which meant "Resuming" or "Loading" screens. Now, for me at least, they pop...

Marko is correct. If you were an enterprise stakeholder and had anything to do with the x3, you would be giving your opinion to HP. Most of the people who use this phone will be using it for business purposes only, if it ever gets to large-scale distribution at all.

It's sad that this is occurring for you all. I haven't experienced these issues myself. However, that may be a matter of use case. This is especially unfortunate given that the Lumia 950 scores extremely highly for it's display color and greyscale accuracy.
