Living images on the lumia 950 worked absolutely amazing, especially how you could view them on your windows 10 pc without any effort.

Then it's probably the sensor that's not working because it's not used while on speaker phone. Make sure it's not dirty or covered by a case. You may need to contact HP.

At the top of the phone, you can probably see a cut out for it. I don't have one to look at at. You could test speaker phone, to see if the screen stays on.

All phones have one, it's what turns off the screen when you put it up to your ear.

The proximity sensor could be broken or blocke. The only time that I've seen that happen is when someone had a sticker over the front camera blocking the sensor.

I haven't owned either phone but I've held the Elite X3 at a Microsoft store and I tested the idol 4s for a couple days at work. If I were choosing, Id go for the elite x3 even though I prefer the smaller size of the idol. Someone at work did actually drop the idol 4s and the back of it...

Do they say PC and Mobile? I found PGA tour but my 950 says the same thing and the app shows that it's only available on PC.

If you scroll down, it should show the reason it's not compatible. What does it say?

I haven't used dual sim yet but I believe you'll get two phone tiles and two sms tiles. In settings you'll be able to choose which card to use for data. There's also a setting to combine the tiles. Might be a video on this somewhere.

That's what I always do when setting up a new device so that your starting with a fresh device at the latest version.

Wow, 288 is a great deal for a phone with such good specs.

I usually don't use cases but phones with glass backs crack easy so it's probably a good idea to have a case with this phone.

I believe they are all dual sim and that's why you can't find any differentiation or model numbers etc.

re: It doesn't seem possible to remove the apps at this point. Not sure why Microsoft let them get away with that as the ability to remove the bloatware preinstalled apps was an advantage over android. Not with this model.

I don't think cases will be an issue. I've used the lumia icon with the otterbox case and old Nokia wireless charger and it works perfect. I'd probably go with the HP branded wireless charger for best compatibility but others should work too.
