    Is Waze truly dead?

    Waze continues to work on my Windows 8.1 Lumia. I just moved to a Windows 10 Lumia 950, and it does not work. Going back to the Store and looking at System Requirements, the recommended OS is Windows 8. I was hoping to use this 950, for its bigger screen, quicker camera, and longer battery...

    PowerPoint file won't open: W10M problem or HP Elite X3 problem?

    Hi, I bought an HP Elite X3 because it is marketed as a business phone. But, I find that it cannot open a large, 50 mb Powerpoint file that resides on Onedrive.* An error statement comes up, or it takes forever to open, far, far longer than one can ask others to wait. On the other hand, my...

    Got my X3 Today, shipping back tomorrow - Why YOU should stick to your 950 (XL)

    Wow, the Elite X3, and perhaps any phone running Windows 10, is truly not business-ready. I just tried opening a 50mb .pptx Powerpoint file residing on the now-functioning OneDrive app, thanks to Daniel, and the file will not open. It keeps downloading and downloading and downloading until it...

    Switching to HP Elite X3

    The solution getting back the files on the X3's OneDrive app was kindly provided by Daniel Rubino here. http://forums.windowscentral.com/hp-elite-x3/438802-3.htm#post3580013 Bottom line, the X3 is not business-ready. Consider it if you're looking to use it as a general purpose, consumer phone...

    Yes, thank you, that did it. The folders are now viewable. The pdf file is opened by Edge. Opening with Acrobat Reader, it opens, but "A system error was encountered" statement appears as one pages through each page document. It appears the problem has something to do with Acrobat Reader and...

    Switching to HP Elite X3

    Sorry for a poor example. The point I'm trying to make is that the people we all work and interact with, their time is valuable. Wasting other people's time is not in one's interest. To spend this type of money on an X3, which is supposed to be for business, and for it not to work for the...

    Daniel, regarding signing out, I don't see a way to sign out of the OneDrive app from inside the app. I can't even uninstall it. I can't even see how to sign out of my Microsoft account on the phone. Clicking it in account's just takes me to my account through Edge browser.

    Switching to HP Elite X3

    I'm not important. The folks I am meeting with (team members, customers) are. Not being able to pull up a document is a problem. In the actual case this morning, we're with a $600/hr lawyer and can't pull up a document; plus everyone else's time? Wow...

    Yeah, I know what you mean. But, when you're in a meeting with a lawyer you're paying $600/hr for and can't pull up a document he ought to see, it's an issue.

    You're right. It may not be the hardware. But, to me, what matter if it's the software? I'm just so pleased that the OneDrive files aren't wiped and are accessible from my 1020. I'll go back and try the 950XL. If no problem, I'll settle for that, cuz despite all that I like about the X3, I...

    Switching to HP Elite X3

    Hi. It wasn't my intention to get into a lengthy debate. But, if you were the team manager of an Indy 500 team, would you have your driver drive a prototype car? In business, you have a lot of folks depending on your performance, which is affected by ease of use. Things have to just work.

    Only 2 problems I see [HP Elite x3]

    Hi Daniel How did you enable a lock-screen quick launch? Or do you mean the camera button in the Action Center, accessible by swing down from the top of the lock-screen?
