To be up front, I don't know for certain if this is a Microsoft Launcher issue, but since I'm on the beta and the app updates (what feels like) 3 times a week, it seemed a likely candidate to blame. I have an Essential PH-1 with Android 8.1 using Microsoft Launcher. Beginning this past...

I've had mine for a couple months now and I am very pleased. I'm looking forward to the Anniversary Update. My biggest gripe at the moment is the battery life and the jumps in UI between different apps and settings. Both gripes are minor.

Not sure if this affected anyone else, but I had data sense enabled and didn't have any issues with it-- until I took a cross-country flight. Out of nowhere it was sending toast after toast telling me I was over the data limit. I checked my carrier-- wasn't even close. So I turned it off...

That's not doing anything.

You might be in the 8.1 app. The Win10 version has the hamburger.

I'm sure it's staring at me in the face, so pardon the dumb question.

Following up on my own issue... there isn't a way to force the download. So I got the contacts+message backup app on both my Lumia 950 and Samsung Ativ S Neo. I backed up the neo to my micro sd, and popped it into the Lumia 950. Ran the app and it restored my messages.

I've found that if I manually search for the delta flight number, Cortana brings up the status info with a ":Track this Flight" option underneath. Not ideal of course. I also think the flight needs to be withing 28-30 days. I just tried to add some future flights occurring in late April. I...

I owned a Samsung Ativ S Neo on Sprint. Switched to AT&T and snagged the 950. I didn't restore my phone from back-up. Started fresh. My phone pulled down only a handful of messages. A few from 2013. Two from New Year's Eve 2015. That's it. It's been 36 hours. I had hoped it would restore the...

Thanks folks!

What's the story with the headsets on Xbox One? I've been Bing-ing a big and I feel like I can't get a straight answer. 1. Does my 360 headset work with it? 2. Can I get game audio if I plug in basic headphones into the controller? 3. Do I need to buy that adapter thingie? 4. What about voice...

I'm in the exact same spot, except with Sprint.

Any news on this? I doubt Sprint will ever push the update, and playing with 10586 on my 635, I really want it as a daily driver.

I think the answer is, "no," but it's frustrating. I've asked Microsoft support if the unlocked 950's can be used on Sprint and they never give a definitive answer. So I've been watching a twitter search for "@sprintcare lumia" and I think I found the answer. Search URL...

Is it the phone or is it Windows 10? If it's Windows 10, and yes I know it's not finished, I'm a lot less enthusiastic about the new phones.
