    If MS abandons us Band users, what will you get next?

    I looked at alternatives and it's ugly out there. Wife got a FitBit Charge 2, good for her I guess but I could never use that. Not a Band replacement at all. I bought Garmin Forerunner 235. Expensive, should be good, but wow, it's terrible. Can't believe it gets good reviews. Returning...

    Why aren't my updates installing?

    Bought a 640, used my account, signed up for Insider and installed W10. Now I wanted to give this to my mom for Christmas so I did a hard reset. It didn't go back to 8.1, stayed on 10. Now using her Hotmail account on the phone with no Insider and it's trying to install an update for 10 but...

    Need audio player for wp8.1

    I'm looking for the same thing as you. Best I found so far is CorePlayer. Groove Music works fine too. Both of those will play whatever you have in your Music folder.

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    950 for me. Perfect size IMO, all the storage I could want, wireless charging plus fast charge plus USB C 3.1 Didn't skimp on anything, it's quite future-proofed.

    Looking for a tablet! Which should I get?

    Re: Looking for a tablet! I'm seriously considering the Mi Pad 2. I also mostly read and browse on my tablet and 4:3 is the best for that IMO. Everyone has their preference in regards to size and aspect ratio and a 8" 4:3 is my favorite. And that tablet looks like the first Windows one I...

    What do you think about my new app?

    Is this just to make it look like you have another device than you actually have?

    Anyway to back up texts and application data?

    And not the system/OneDrive way. That doesn't work for me. Are there any applications that will back these up for you?

    Why are uninstalled apps showing in the 'my apps' instead of installed apps in the store?

    Re: why uninstalled apps are showing in the 'my apps' instead of installed apps in the store.?? You can't as far as I know. The Windows Store is a mess. Would be nice to NOT have a list of everything you've ever downloaded from the Store.

    How do I back up my phone?

    To follow up if anyone else has this problem. I tried the Contact Support app that Microsoft won't let you delete from your phone. And they just blew me off. Told me to go to the support forums for help. So frustrating. Guess I have to suck it up and do a hard reset and lose everything.

    How do I back up my phone?

    App setting backup isn't even showing up for me. And I checked there are no backups on OneDrive. Maybe something to do with OneDrive? My Edge favorites are syncing. My texts aren't saving or syncing. I'm going to try to see if Microsoft support chat can help me. I'll try that tomorrow.

    How do I back up my phone?

    I already did that. Didn't work. Something is really messed up. Edge won't sync favorites, messages won't sync or backup. Camera Roll works. Don't know what's going on.

    Switching to Windows Phone. Anyone else?

    Try ShareFolder Explorer. Not as good as ES, but it works. I'm another convert. Ditched my Galaxy S5 for a Lumia 930. It is tough transition, but I think I'll make it work.
