    How can a Windows user switch to a Google Phone?

    After posting and reading your replies, further reading through other posts here turned up a variety of discussions on this. Thanks for your actual reply even if you said it elsewhere already. Reading those various threads confirmed the value of the Nine - Email & Calendar app. With a 2...

    How can a Windows user switch to a Google Phone?

    That's what I'm hesitant to do. I'm fairly invested in Windows on PC with Edge, Outlook, Calendar, etc. After posting the comment above, I found some other threads with folks mentioned an app called Nine that supposedly syncs contacts well. I have also read that Edge is coming to Android this...

    How can a Windows user switch to a Google Phone?

    How are all of you getting your Outlook.com contacts into the Contacts App on Android? (Or are you?) I've been on a 950 and am attempting to set up a new Moto G5S Plus. I've installed the Outlook App and within that app, all my emails and contacts and calendar info are there. However...

    I'm standing my ground, and sticking with Windows Mobile.

    Well, good luck with that. I'm moving on. I left iPhone for an 830, picked up a used 1520 because I enjoyed WP so much. Bought a cheap 640 for the house phone and upgraded my 830 for a 950. I was all in for WP. Too bad MS clearly is not. I no longer believe any rewards are ahead. MS is...

    AT&T Lumia 830 Downloading W10

    Well, there definitely seems to be BT problems; although, mine are different. After updating to W10m, my car BT was still paired, but couldn't find any songs/albums/etc. But, if I select music straight from my phone, it plays through the BT connection just fine. Deleted the devices from each...

    AT&T Lumia 830 Downloading W10

    Try: All Settings > Extras > Touch > Vibrate when I tap the navigation keys. (at the bottom). Strange that yours doesn't. Mine turned itself on with the update.

    AT&T Lumia 830 Downloading W10

    That's a good question. My BT in the car doesn't seem to be working right since the update. I haven't taken the time yet to see if re-pairing it solves the problem. Overall, my update seems a bit glitchy on the 830. Even after the initial use of an app when it asks all the intro questions...

    Talk me out of going back to iPhone

    That's easy: iTunes. Running an L830 since release. Not having those problems. The tips already given sound like good advice to try.

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    You forgot to pick me last time, so here's another chance. 😉

    Lumia 950 XL for $499 + $5 shipping from Expansys USA

    It still depends on where you live. If you are in a state with a state income tax, you may be legally required to pay taxes on it. I don't know about all states, but the ones I've lived in that have a state income tax also have had laws requiring that you pay taxes on all products bought online...

    Orders the 830

    Being relatively new to WP, I can't comment much on other models. I briefly picked up a used 1520 as I wanted the large screen size to do double duty as phone and tablet. I enjoyed it very much until the screen cracked and I decided to sell rather than repair. (Note to self: large screen...

    Orders the 830

    A year ago, I switched from iOS to an 830. Very happy with the new OS and the phone. For my music, I just went into the music file folder for iTunes and copy and pasted into the WP music folder. There may have been some mild tinkering, but nothing major. I've considered upgrading early to a...

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

    I'll take the 950xl for the screen size. Not sure it's worth the extra if buying outright and it isn't an option for an AT&T upgrade, but I'd be glad to have one if you're giving them away!

    Help diagnose this 1520 screen issue, please!!

    Thanks, guys, for your replies. I appreciate it! Even if I don't like it. 😡 There does appear to be a very sharp crack-like line along the color change in the lower right corner, but underneath the smooth glass. Scrubby, thanks for the link and the offer. I'll have to give it some thought...

    Help diagnose this 1520 screen issue, please!!

    Forgot to mention: I bought it used and it isn't under warranty.
