    error 8500201d contacts synchr

    Looks like its due to the Outlook.com migration. I was reading that the Windows Phone users were the last ones to be migrated because they required further handling as to not break anything, turned out well! Good job Microsoft. I've now got this error code on my Lumia 950 XL, all my contact...

    Lumia 950 XL Random Reboots

    This sounds like exactly like the issue I have. I thought it was coincidence at first but my phone literally reboots at least 4 or 5 times when its sits on my desk at home in the evenings. Just randomly reboots without warning. Sometimes after rebooting a "Network settings update" prompt appears...

    .71 Build on Lumia 950 Still Bad, hows your experience?

    Soooooo many random reboots with my 950 XL on 10586.71. Some several times an hour. Its getting silly. It will be the last insider build I do for this phone, it was arguably a risk doing it in the first place, but things weren't great on .29 either. I seriously hope the recent firmware update...

    Lumia 950 XL Random Reboots

    I got the new firmware update and had my first reboot when I was actually using my 950 XL, mid way through writing a SMS. Upon reboot the SD card was corrupted and SD card apps were all "unavailable", a pop up did appear to say it was corrupt and attempt to fix it but it didn't do anything. I...

    Skype Setup: Error code 0xA1080001 (Skype unavailable), how can I fix it?

    Indeed. I upgraded my Dell XPS 9530 laptop to Windows 10 recently and this error is also apparent on the desktop! Yay. I leads me to think that its somehow related to my MSA (Microsoft Account), as this error is occurring on multiple Windows 10 devices that are all uniquely different in terms...

    Just received an update

    Fair enough. An exception to the rule in this case, but as Microsoft themselves stated, this is a staggered roll out, so the fact its not appearing on CV UK devices, doesn't surprise me.

    Just received an update

    Lumia 950 XL Unlocked Variant UK, non insider running 10586.29. The firmware update package doesn't appear to be available yet. Using WDRT, it shows the available firmware version is the same as what's installed on my device currently, even the software (OS) version available is a couple of...

    HTML Emails. Why is the layout messed up in outlook.

    That is likely because the "Support Engineer" is not understanding the problem. The actual reason behind all of this is rather technical and would require developers and people involved with the design of the Microsoft Word engine to resolve. As this is integrated with A LOT of Outlook...

    Disable WiFi calling on W10M

    Ah if you've been on technical preview builds, then stuff like this is all too common and a hard reset might be the only way to fix the WiFi calling settings along with the other issues you mentioned.

    Is it possible to prevent burn in?

    I think its mostly inevitable at some point, even my Dell XPS 9530 has the Windows taskbar burnt in slightly, but I would do the following to mitigate it. Enable Glance Screen with a fairly detailed background or solid colour, but don't set it to appear all the time, the 15 minutes setting...

    Disable WiFi calling on W10M

    Have you tried syncing the latest mobile operator settings or doing a soft reset? Is your Lumia 635 unlocked or locked to a specific carrier? Have you been able to modify the WiFI calling settings before?

    Navigation bar burn-in?

    Surely having Glance Screen (with a photo background) and Lock Screen set to a quick time like one minute would help with this. Having Glance on a setting like 15 minutes which would then just turn off the display, preventing burn in.

    Navigation bar burn-in?

    I had this same problem on a Lumia 925 as well! As I mostly used dark mode for everything I only noticed it on lighter backgrounds.

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    As I bought a Lumia 950 XL recently, another one wouldn't be such a bad thing either! Good luck to everyone!
