    Upgrading to W10 Mobile .420 space issues

    My daughter's 640 has the same issue, the system takes almost 6GB of space, email and the few apps that won't move leave it with like 600MB free. Windows update claims it needs more space. There is nothing else I can delete using the storage app. Been considering a hard-reset to see if there...

    No Free Space for Upgrades

    My daughter has a Lumia 640, running windows 10. However, it doesn't have enough free space to install any newer builds I have a 32GB SD card, and everything is stored on it(app, pictures, etc...). The main storage is 8GB, but <6GB is used by the OS. A few apps that can't be moved to SD take...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    I want a shiny new 950XL because I am greedy, but yet cheap. I want it, but won't pay for it. I am willing to wait a while for a "Surface Phone", rather than buy this and get tied up in another 2 year agreement, and miss out on the Surface Phone. If you give me this one for free, the problem...

    After connecting UHD monitor File Explorer stopped working

    I had the exact same problem, I ended up re-installing Win10 from scratch. I am not sure if I was using 175% or not, but it is possible.

    Very Happy With my Lumia 950

    Split personalities? Android has only been out since 2008, so not sure how you get 12 years unless you are leading a double life. :)

    Can the band show more of my emails?

    when i read an email on my band 2, it only shows a tiny portion of it, like maybe 100 characters. Is there a way to get it to show more? As it is, it is useless to me for that.

    No, she was happy because Hello worked, and when she walked up to it, it automatically logged her in. No password required.

    Sorry, only new phones with new chipsets support the full continuum and the dock.

    Should New Lumia Devices be sold at a loss ?

    I am wondering if i could travel with just an 950XL, dock and keyboard/mouse. Then connect to the clients monitor. Would make traveling a whole lot easier. Could even connect to the TV in the hotel room, and watch Netflix without having to rely on the crappy wifi at most hotels. Then again...

    Should New Lumia Devices be sold at a loss ?

    So, now that we know the pricing, $649 for the 950XL, what do you think? The iPhone 6s Plus is $749. The Galaxy 6S Edge+ is $815. Probably not a loss leader for Microsoft, but definitely cheaper than the competition.

    Lumia 1520 battery drain on w10 tp

    I run between 3.5% to 4% per hour with my 1520, getting me anywhere from 25 to 30+ hours life on a single charge. On win8 I got closer to 3%, and on prior builds of win10 it has ranged from 3.2% to 4%

    Should New Lumia Devices be sold at a loss ?

    So, we all know that Microsoft is coming out with new Lumia phones soon, the 950 and 950XL. Considering everything we know about these, from a hardware perspective they are great, but not really anything above what competitors have, or will have in a couple months. So that leaves the OS...

    No internet access after installing Windows 10 on laptop

    If you are using a Cisco VPN, that is the source of your problem. It is a DNS binding problem - you could access sites over the VPN via IP address (or add some entries to your hosts file, which is what I did). It looks like the latest insider build has solved this problem. After upgrading...

    How can I Track My Kids activity on the phone ?

    HI all, I am wondering if there are apps that will allow me to track my child's activity on her windows phone? I'd love to get copies of all the text messages she sends and receives, and maybe even throw in instagram to boot ? I saw TeenSafe for iOS and Android, but haven't found something...
