    Why does my Lumia 950 XL suddenly restarts so often nowadays?

    Hello again! Gonna revive this thread because I just received my phone back from the service center. Apparently, they had to factory reset it along with replacing the bloated battery. Anyways, would it be okay to install the double-tap-to-wake firmware update on my handset? I've read from...

    Is there any confirmed plans for any new Windows Phones?

    At least it's still within 2017 but damn... I hope they won't take THAT long (although I have no plans of replacing my Lumia 950 XL anytime soon, it's still a nice thing to see the W10M community reinvigorated)

    Seriously considering jumping ship.......HELP?!

    I guess what MS needs to do is to push the devs of "famous" or "mainstream" harder into embracing the platform (although I don't really know how). Yes, most of us would be contented with the current selection in the Store (mostly I use my phone for music, camera, FB'ing only) and would not mind...

    Seriously considering jumping ship.......HELP?!

    I agree. I was considering trying Android again. However, when I asked myself the reason I want to try that ecosystem, I only had one answer: Pokemon Go. And yeah, that's a very ****ty reason so still sticking to W10M. And I'm really hoping Ms would revive the W10M hype (with new hardware and...

    Multitasking in windows 10 mobile

    I am also deeply bothered about this. Since my phone is on fast ring, this occurs more frequently which is kind of irritating when you have to do something quickly.

    Your Windows 10 Anniversary Review

    Anniversary update is great on my laptop. Runs smoothly and apps launch a bit faster now. Minor glitches like on the Settings app, whenever I try to open the Systems menu, the app crashes. However, the AU broke my 950 XL. I don't know if it was cumulative update on the Insider Fast Ring (the .5...

    After a year with Android, coming back to Windows! Excited! Any recommendations?

    Welcome back to the platform! Having a low-end Android phone for me kind of sucks (slow, cannot uninstall most of the Google apps that I don't need) and I'm very much happy with my Lumia 950 XL (but it's on repair right now). I recommend using the Groove music app. Though I know some may not...
