My main gripe was the production release is causing me way more issues than the damn insider builds! As a cabbie, over the hols I thought it best to go back to the release version, as we are seriously busy, and I needed reliability. D'oh! I dropped so many calls on Bluetooth it was seriously...

Hi all. As you all know, I am a huge supporter of all things MS, BUT my commitment is being tested to the max. For example:- Band/Band 2. Great idea. Insufficient testing. Huge problems with eczema. Unlike Fitbit, this was not mentioned until near the end of the device. 950xl. Ghost key...

Currently available for ?209.99 INCLUDING dock! What a steal!! Very good specs for this sort of money!! Christmas hints dropped ;-)

You are not alone. I rolled back because a couple of apps crashing. Don't know why I did it as I don't use the apps!! Now, like you, I can't get back in. " connect to internet" yet I am on Edge reading stuff about curing it. I don't like Bing either, got Google as the search engine. Before I...

Hi all. I have searched the Interweb, and can't find any results. My phone has a really nasty habit of adding a shed load of characters when typing. It's taken me an age to get this bit done. I hit a key and then the keyboard just swiped random characters. It doesn't do it all the time. It...

Did you use the date workaround for the last preview? If you did then you are stuck until your MSA ticket expires. If you went forward by a week, then you will have to wait a week, by a year then a year, etc.... The cure all for this is to use WDRT and go back to release and work your way...

Hi all, apart from the tumble weeds rattling around, is there anymore news from these guys? Very short on info, and a lack of announcements. Will fall have fallen over before we get any more news? The last we heard was the manufacturing compliances, but little since. My doubts at the start of...

So, iOS is less hungry? Sure I read somewhere on here (could be wrong, usually am), that the Apple chip architecture was pretty much specific to the way in which iOS was set up, and by Apple overseeing the entire process from the chip to the hardware to ensure optimisation gave favourable...

I hazard a guess that now the core is 'better' than it was, and the overall stability of the previews on fast, new things will start to appear. Only snag with that is that it will invariably break something else. The UUP, and the data management settings could be the set up for the next stage to...

I do believe that Apple have full control over their specs, especially their own processors. Everyone else buys stuff in. The latest Apple chips are pretty good performers. My iPad mini 3 absolutely hammers my wife's Samsung Galaxy tab, running Supposed far better specs. Heck, it even gives my...

I'll tell you what I would like to see. Either the ability to run 8.1 on the 9xx series ( dual boot ) or Android ( dual boot ) or even Cyanogen as a dual boot. Maybe if MS gave us a bit more freedom to jump between OS, even if its just 10 and 8.1, we wouldn't feel so miserable. At least we...

I couldn't make that out on iOS 10. Apple are very well known for buttons falling off, especially the home one, and they put the unlock on it!!

I noticed the clock missing a couple of builds ago. Shows on glance though which is weird.

For me it suits the way in which I work. I got a load of them, and 90% of the time, they work, but just lately the issues are starting to raise their heads, and I'm a bit miffed. When there is a CU, I wonder what they have broken this time. The connection issue with the so called 'flagships' was...

Hi all. Those who may had read my ramblings, will know that I have always seen things in a positive light, and have supported MS in their efforts, but my loyalty is being put to the test. I have read all of the news items about the plans, and I am now getting a bit peeved with the perpetual...
