    WM10 Camera vs Lumia Camera

    Has anyone compared performance of the default Camera app compared to the Lumia Camera app when running WM10? With both apps, I have noticed that I can't launch the camera when the phone is locked. The phone just displays my lock screen image. I have to swipe up and close the camera app and...

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    When you say reset do you mean factory reset? Because I've considered doing that to see if I get better overall performance. It definitely is not buttery smooth like I am used to with WP8.1. The folders comment is interesting. I have a handful or so of them - I would hate to get rid of them.

    I am having MMS issues too - were you able to resolve it? I would love to get it back since I pic message often.

    Re: My Nokia Lumia 930 has just frozen. Do you have the recovery tool installed on your PC? Also, which OS are you running 8.1 or 10?

    Windows 10 Mobile - MMS Issues on VZW

    I just updated to Window 10 Mobile on my Icon yesterday afternoon. Having some of the standard issues (loading screens, etc) but that was expected. One issue I want to resolve is not being able to receive MMS messages. I see the message come in and am given an option to "Download" but it...

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    I agree; so far my biggest complaint is the loading that seems to happen almost every time go to the start screen. I may do a factory reset and see if that helps. I am also having MMS issues.

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    I appreciate all the feedback - seems like the most recent build is good for most people. I am updating now on the slow ring. I will give it a day or so and consider a hard reset if I notice any issues.

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    I appreciate the feedback. Honestly; my Icon has never gotten great battery life (of maybe I use it too much). On a slow day, I can get through an entire day (6am - 9pm) before I need to charge. But most days, I am under 30% by 3pm and charge it before I head home for the day. Days when I work...

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    Will the recovery tool save me if I have issues? Also, I hear I should do a hard reset, then do the preview update, then do another hard reset. Is that accurate?

    Should I update Icon to W10 Mobile?

    I have an Icon on VZW - it is my daily driver and only phone. I've read that W10 Mobile is good enough for daily use but I am very cautious. I bricked my last phone running 8.1 preview a year ago. Has anyone heard of issues of phones locking up / bricking? If so, will the recovery tool bring it...

    MS Band defects

    Quick background - I purchased my MS Band back in November just a few weeks after it launched. I wear it daily including when I workout (2-3 times per week). I make sure that I am cautious with my Band and always clean it offer after workouts and avoid wearing it in situations that might cause...

    MS Band: why are calories burned inconsistent if Exercise is not activated?

    Re: MS Band: Calories burn inconsistent if Exercise is not "activated" I am surprised it was off by that much. In standard mode, your hear rate is only checked occasionally and that is how it bases the calorie burn. In exercise mode, it is checking it almost constantly to get a better gauge...

    Brand New ICON - Put Windows 10 on it???

    If you had success before then I would go for it. Most people are used to charging their phone mid-day at this point. I have an Icon and am considering going to WM10 Preview now that I hear it is relatively stable. I am hesitant because I bricked my HTC 8X a year ago running the 8.1 preview and...

    Restaurant calorie app

    I use a MS Band and MyFitnessPal but I need an app that can help me plan ahead when eating out. I'm looking for an app that allows me to search for a specific restaurant and then view their menu with calorie and other health stats. Any recommendations?
