Just posting/bumping this to maybe help others, fianc? had the same issue, turns out it was the hotel key card tripping the NFC.

Fiance is taking a trip to Spain soon, and we were wondering if there's anything special she'd need to do to use the phone with a pre-paid SIM from Spain... if such a thing exists. My vague understanding is it should pop to life, but I may be mistaken. Our other option is one of AT&T's temp...

Re: High mobile data usage from "System"-950 XL lol, yea, it's MB, whoops. FWIW, we're only about a week into the current billing cycle.

Re: High mobile data usage from "System"-950 XL Oddly enough, I started seeing a similar issue on my fiances phone. Her data is off, and she's used ~500GB already for the billing cycle. (We've had the phones since AT&T launch). This evening I'm going to remove the GMail account from her phone...

Took a quick look and it does appear you're correct. GG 4 is better at preventing shattering when dropped at the expense of some scratch resistance. Larger screen size on the XL would make shatter resistance a bit more important than scratch resistance.

I've had my Lumia 950 for about 2 weeks now, and everything is hunky dory. My fianc? has even told me on a few occasions that she LOVES her phone. The camera is really stunning. It's not leaps and bounds better than other top end cameras, but it's impressive none-the-less. Pictures are sharp...

I once ordered a steak from a restaurant, but they overcooked the hell out of it, so I sent it back. Buyer beware.

Comparing white on AMOLED to white on an LCD isn't really fair. Like comparing idle fuel consumption in a Prius to full throttle on a Ford C-Max Hybrid. LCDs typically "default" to an "open" state, so white uses less power than on the AMOLED. MS used to display a warning about this on phones...

It is strong. My fianc? dropped her phone the other day onto the concrete ground (fell out of her pocket), no damage at all. I was pretty surprised/impressed.

Thanks! It's called Live Tile Clock.

Are you an Insider? Are you comfortable with Windows 10 in its current state? If yes, then you should consider upgrading. Changes are marginal, but not insignificant. If you are not an Insider, or you find yourself switching back to 8.1 on your 930 due to issues with Windows 10, stick with the...

Simple.

Ok, an update... and good news! Working with a rep at AT&T, he noticed a weird provisioning issue on the line. Cleared it out, reset the mailbox, and voila, it works.

Just to make this clear... Switched 2 lines from Verizon (I had the luxury, tired of their BS) Restored backup - Previous backup was from a W10 Lumia Icon Setup VM - no VVM Chatted with AT&T, they provisioned the line, told me to check VM, enter pin in prompt. Checked VM, no prompt. Had fianc...

Thanks for the tip, but still no dice. I spent a bunch of time with AT&T in a chat yesterday, but work meetings called so I had to end the chat. I'll harass them some more and see if they can help.
