    Windows Mobile should not die.

    Windows mobile can die as far as I'm concerned. I switched from the Lumia 950 to the Pixel 2 a few days ago and I'm very happy with it. Just moved my photos from one drive to google photos even though I think one drive is far better. I would rather have the built in support and compatibility...

    Camera hangs on Saving after taking a picture, how can I fix this?

    I have the same problem on a production build Lumia 950 and my wifes insider builds Lumia 830. Its been going on for almost a year for both of us. It doesn't matter if HDR is on or off, SD card or local, I have tried it all. Its sad that Microsoft cant make anything work well, even its own...

    Problems with Messaging

    AT&T informed my wife that its an issue with the Samsung owners account and the Samsung owner would have to call AT&T to correct the problem. I have tried switching from 4G enhanced to 4G but no luck.

    Incomplete Group Texts - AT&T Lumia 950

    AT&T actually called my wife back and informed her that it was a problem that would need to be addressed on the Samsung owners account. Im not sure if that's true but I certainly cant ask all Samsung owners to call AT&T when they don't even realize they have a problem.

    SMS MMS Text Messaging Issue in Group Texts

    AT&T said the APN is configured properly since text messages are coming through including media. Pictures come through but text does not.

    Incomplete Group Texts - AT&T Lumia 950

    I have an AT&T 950 with the same problem. I had the preview build for fast ring and recently restored to a production ring but the problem persists. I have been having this issue for about 2 weeks. I receive only the first letter of the text message from a person in my group text that has a...

    Camera Comparison - Lumia 950, 830 & 925

    The firmware update on the 950 was supposed to improve the camera focusing issues and it did. Sadly it took almost a year which is one of the many reasons the 950 will be my last Windows phone. Now I have a slue of other problems, skype, messaging, contact photos, absence of photo syncing and...

    SMS MMS Text Messaging Issue in Group Texts

    I have an AT&T Lumia 950 that I just restored back to production build 14393.189. I thought the preview build or Skype preview was screwing it up but I still have a problem receiving text messages from Samsung devices in group texts, I receive only the first letter in the text message. This...

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

    Use the Windows Phone recovery to reset your phone and then enroll in the fast ring and update. My AT&T 950 was stuck as well until I used the recovery tool to go back, currently on .71 with firmware 29031. I think 71 is OK, still get some random crashes in messaging and stuck on the loading...

    Windows10 Phone Companion Shortcomings

    I have Windows 10 on my laptop and on my phone(950). With W8 I would use Windows Phone App for Desktop. It had a few good features like SYNC-ing photos, music or videos from your PC to your phone and resizing them. The new Windows 10 Phone Companion App has an import from phone to PC option...

    Camera Comparison - Lumia 950, 830 & 925

    I just reviewed the 10 videos o took during Xmas eve and Xmas day, none of them came out well. Since this is my second 950 with the same problem I am going to bring it to MS store and then probably throw it out the window

    This guy hits the nail on the head with Windows 10 Mobile

    Spot on indeed. My only disagreement is he camera review. I know half of the users seem to love it, he had nothing but good things to say about it but many of us like myself have an awful experience with photos and video, poor quality. Otherwise i cant find a single thing wrong with his...

    Pictures taken with the 950 are disappointing :(

    Very inconsistent experiences with the camera on the 950 as far as i can tell. I am on my second 950 since the day it launched and both take terrible pictures and video. Its very frustrating for a loyal windows customer. I posted a comparison a few weeks ago...
