    If you have Band 2, what about Explore? Should work nicely :)

    Explore function is terrible?

    I tried the Explore function in Berlin last weekend and it seems ok. After the walk the it said 7.13 km and when I measured distances on Google maps now, I came up with 6.36 - however, I didn't follow my route super closely when measuring on Google maps, so I think the Band's distance is pretty...

    Band 2 Bugs + Defects

    Can you show the graph of the run (e.g. the speed graph) to see where the extra time is coming from? Could it be that you forgot to turn the tracking off after the run and the Strava cut off the idle time, whereas MS Health didn't?

    Band 2 Bugs + Defects

    Elevation tracking issues Hi all! I got my B2 a few days ago, upgrading from a B1. I did my first bike ride yesterday and the elevation tracking was WAY off, showing as much as 108 meters - I live in Amsterdam where the highest point may be like 10-20 meters above sea level. However, the...

    Explore function is terrible?

    Just a thought: could it be that the latter number is in km? It was the first thing that crossed my mind because I had issues with MS Health using miles where I wanted it to show kms when sharing workouts on FB. I guess you would notice that but still wanted to mention it.

    950 vs 950XL

    I think 90% of the difference between the 950 and the 950XL is the screen size. That's why I went with the 950 and I'm loving it! Hope you will, too :)

    Wallet 2.0 with NFC Tap to Pay is now rolling out to Windows 10 Mobile Fast Ring (US only)

    Re: What are the compatible cards for Wallet 2.0 Tap-to-Pay? I understand the purpose of this topic is primarily to get first hand feedback, but I just want to note that microsoft.com/wallet has a list of currently supported banks as well as coming-soon ones.

    W10M Insider Preview 14356 Issues (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    Un- and re-pinning the tile helped for me.

    W10M Insider Preview 14356 Issues (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    Waiting for a while helped. I had the same problem after upgrading yesterday at around 8 PM, the next day at 5 PM all works.

    W10M Insider Preview 14356 Issues (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    I upgraded to this from 14267.1002, so these are my experiences: A Skype conversation I had in the past disappeared from Messaging. Is Skype still a part of the Messaging app? Did they kill Insider hub? Can't open the installed app or find it in Store. EDIT: oh it is merged with the Feedback...

    W10M - New features listed (compared to WP8.1)

    Yes! But the implementation was better in 8.1, where it would only vibrate if the proximity sensor sensed that the device is NOT by your ear, which made more sense. When the dialing phone was in my hand, on the table etc., the vibration was useful to let me know the person answered - when the...

    What ever happened to the color app icons on the taskbar?

    Looks a bit Apple-like, but I like it! But on the other hand the simplicity of the white-only on the tiles in the Start menu is great..and having a different icon for tiles and taskbar seems a bit weird. Maybe that is why they changed it back.

    Where can I find a red Zune HD 64gb?

    Sorry to hear about your Zune being stolen :( Frankly, since they have been out of production for so long, it will probably not be easy to get hold of the red version, which was pretty limited even when it was in stores. eBay is probably still your best bet - good luck!

    How to bypass new Store (non-US) region limitations

    Ok so I found one solution I can confirm is working. You can buy a Store "Gift card" from the US Microsoft Store (you can pay by any card there, even non-US issued) and then add the card's balance to your account. You can then use the balance to make purchases in the US Store without problems...
