    ARM-powered Surface 4

    Yes, and Microsoft really cannot afford to lose partners as entrenched and big as Intel at this point.

    ARM-powered Surface 4

    So long as it will perform at-least as good as a mid-range x64 pc/laptop, I don't see why not. I would, in-fact, go so far as to recommend they even use a custom SOC from qualcomm if needed to meet that performance requirement.

    How many good apps are needed to fill the app gap ? What do you think?

    1000 good well maintained apps focusing on the most downloaded/used apps on IOS for only ONE large market like the US/EU/China. Focusing the efforts one one region will help market share improve while working on the next market region.

    What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

    HDMI-CEC. cannot believe they rely on the Kinect for IR signaling while better options exist and are possible.

    Warranty Blues.

    So after owning my 950XL for 16 months, my front camera stopped working and since I was out of warranty, my credit card company picked up the slack and paid for a new 950XL this April. I picked it up from the Microsoft store in Durham, NC, same store I bought the original one at. However, after...

    What would it take for you to come back to Windows Mobile?

    Given that they have pretty much tried everything else in the book, I would only come back if the following is done: 1) Most used 1000 Apps from ios, including Google services. 2) Marketing the bejeezus out of Windows Mobile. If #1 happens, everything else will simply follow.

    Predictive text

    Any word more than 5~6 letters long will simply not be recognized by swype in win 10 mobile keyboard for me anymore. 8.1 on my 1020 was fine with this sort of thing. Even with logic for prediction, I don't understand why it has to be so extremely horrible. I mean, its almost as if whatever I...

    Front-facing camera stopped working

    Tried a brand new front camera module today, still the same error. This is now confirmed to be a main logic board problem.

    Lumia 950 XL - Front Facing Camera not working - 14376

    FWIW, I have had this problem on last several builds on my 950XL. I installed a brand new replacement front camera module including IRIS scanner and still the same error. So it looks like for people facing this issue, the problem is in the main logic board and not the camera module itself. So if...

    List of Lumia 950 XL replacement parts and part numbers

    I did what shawnmos did. However, be careful with the mid-frame as it cracks too easily when applying pressure. You may have to apply heat a couple of times and push out the glass slowly...be patient. I cracked the new frame which I wasn't going to use anyway, but I managed to get it out of my...

    List of Lumia 950 XL replacement parts and part numbers

    Did you try making a cut out on your own for the second sim slot or are there other fitment issues too? I'm debating buying the 11$ one and cutting it out vs spending $50 on an exact fitment. Considering its hidden under the back cover, I don't really care how it looks. EDIT: Another thought...

    Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview 14322 Issues (Redstone Branch)

    Re: Overall of Build 14322 Code branching at the OS level can be pretty bewildering. It is to be expected. Eventually, fixes from other branches will be merged to this branch.
