When I ask anyone/anything a fact-based question, I expect an answer that isn't embellished or followed by a question that solicits information from me. Here's a great example: I asked "What's the tallest tree in America?" Bing: "Hyperperion, according to two sources." It then showed the...

Mostly as a laptop, but not on my lap. While the SP may have a somewhat compromised lapability, it has fantastic touch stability. This is thanks to its screen being supported at two points: at the bottom, where the keyboard connects, and half-way up the screen, where the hinge connects...

I have the SMS send problem, too. It started right after the current fast ring build. I'm eagerly awaiting the next update.

I believe that all MMS uses the data network while all SMS uses the voice network. Let's assume that Sim1 is your data SIM. When you send an MMS from line 2, the data packets go out on thee only network available (i.e., from Sim1) to the MMS servers on the network run by the carrier for Sim2...

Well, it has a consistency with non-Mobile Windows. The mobile status bar has a lot more icons than you show. The design would either need lots more room at the right or would need to use the Windows tray convention of an arrow to access the other icons. In a weird way, it this is a bit more...

The SP4 uses facial recognition rather than iris recognition. They are totally different technologies.

This works for Windows 10 apps, but not for older WP7/WP8 Silverlight apps.

I'm pretty sure that there was an early rumor that they would be QC2, but that in truth they are not. They do charge faster than older Lumias, but that's because of USB-C charging. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power The Microsoft power adapter is 5V 3A only. The Quick Charge adapters...

I don't want this to turn into a fight, but I do want to push back a bit more on what we each wrote. I think that the number of folks with multiple lines is far higher than that and that the idea of consolidating two lines in one device is something that the vast majority of people have never...

Well then, it's good that Microsoft didn't ask just one person what to do. :wink: I need two phone numbers and I don't want to carry two phones all of the time. I seldom get voicemail because my phones are with my pretty much always. So, in weighing the convenience of carrying only one phone...

I believe that USB-A-to-C cables max out at 2.4 amps (according to the specs). A USB-C-to-C cable, with the appropriate charger, can give 3.0 amps. That's 25% more power in the same time. 3.0 amps is also what Microsoft's included wall charger provides to the phones.

I didn't have time to make it shorter!

It's there for Outlook Mail, but it's a bit tougher to activate because the left margin if tighter. It does not appear to be in the Messaging apps.

Yep. :)

For what it's worth, I think that it's coincidence combined with the placebo effect. Warning: essay answer below. ;) The main thing that you hear Android users (and some developers) complain about is the limitations in how apps work in WP 7+8 and Windows 8+10. What's really bugging them is...
