    So, who is ditching Microsoft and moving with Nokia to Android??

    After running with Microsoft on mobile since MotoQ I'm getting ready to jump from Lumia 950 to Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Just learned in chat with AT&T they will be carrying this phone. I'll load it with Microsoft apps and will miss live tiles a lot.

    My windows vs Android experience

    I'm >this< close to buying Sony Xperia ZX Premium in June. I've loved WP and MS (still have my DOS 1.01 diskette) but some of the newer hardware, and some apps in the gap, are calling. Meanwhile waiting for word of Surface Phone. Love my 950, miss my 8X and 1520. And my Moto Q.

    Share your Windows Phone History!

    Hmm . . . HP Jornada 568. Not a phone, but Windows in my hand. Moto Q HTC HD2 HTC Radar HTC 8X (sexiest) Lumia 925 Lumia 1520 (most useful, but damn screen) Lumia 950 (leather back almost sexiest) Without a Surface Phone my next phone will be Sony Xperia XZ Premium (sigh).

    [Quick Impressions] Who Has Gotten an HP Spectre x360?

    I had the first generation (2015) Spectre x360 13 until October 2016, i7 16gb RAM, 512gb SSD, used it with HP Active Pen and very pleased. Suffered water damage and, under the HP Care Pack I had bought, HP gave me a full credit for my purchase price (an option they gave me, as components for...

    Band 2 remaining stock for service centre replacements

    MS Band Support told me this week that, under warranty, I'm receiving a new (refurb?) Band 2 in a few weeks.

    Where to go after Band 2

    Thank you! That works (after manually clicking sync several times) for activity; sleep data has not successfully synced yet; perhaps not implemented in the MS Health > Fitbit conversion.

    Where to go after Band 2

    Nice! Where may I find this sync app?

    Where to go after Band 2

    My Band 2 developed the dreaded split. Getting a Fitbit Blaze (yes, notifications coming with the next W10 generation). Question: After deactivating my Band, does the data already synced to the cloud (accessible via dashboard on Web) live on?

    What do you think about Apples' new Frankenstein commercial?

    I saw it today, liked it but it appeared a bit kneejerk reaction to the social fissures illuminated by the recent election. This commercial was probably on the cutting room floor prior to the election, then was rushed to life afterwards.

    WhatsApp Audio call bug causing black screen/dim screen

    Same here, on my 950. Another bug I noticed with latest production WhatsApp is long delay after navigating back to the app (from Translator or another app). Screen is black for a few seconds, an eternity in 2016.

    Which Windows Phone gave you best experience?

    I'm still fond of my Moto Q . . . there are Contact entries that survive to this day first entered on that little keyboard.

    Two phones, one Microsoft account-safe?

    My daily driver is a Lumia 950. I've picked up my wife's old Lumia 640, which I'd like to treat as a backup (and Wi-Fi only). Any issues to keeping my Microsoft login on two phones? I'm wondering if there are synchronization problems. Like cats and dogs living together.

    Disappearing keyboard

    I was thinking about slow ring for her 640.

    Disappearing keyboard

    This is very annoying problem, because there is a fix, as I don't have this on my 950. I use a Band 2. My wife has a 640, and I just bought her a Band 2. Apparently her phone (either the hardware, firmware or OS (current "Outsider")) sees the Band 2 as a keyboard-able device which is technically...

    Issues with groups

    Same here. Based on comments here it appears if I rebuild my groups they will only go to zero again. I do hope this gets fixed faster than last year's OneDrive meltdown. Btw, Lumia 950 from AT&T, up to date software.
