    Win 10 Mobile - april 2018 update

    It means that these phones won't get another update, ever: Lumia 635 (1GB RAM), 735, 830, 930, 1520 and Icon. No upgrade to new version or even security updates. And older phones like the Lumia 1020 that were manually updated to W10M runs better on the Anniversary update than the following...

    Win 10 Mobile - april 2018 update

    It's too bad that this is the last update for the W10M Anniversary Update (14393 builds) since I think it's the version that works best on the older devices.

    Before I unload this thing...

    Yeah, I wasn't really serious, of course it's not always new=good and old=bad. Especially when it comes to cars. :cool: It was just funny how he was offended by the fact that most people are disappointed with MS and leaving for better phones and then realizing what they have been missing out on.

    Before I unload this thing...

    Well, I think the negative ones are people who are conservative and holding on to an old, abandoned system and are trying to convince others and them self that's better than enjoying new devices with more features and apps.

    app gap?

    First, every app you mention in your list sucks compared to the Android or iOS version. Especially Microsofts own first party apps. And when I say they sucks I don't just mean they are missing a lot of features, most apps are awfully slow to load and to use, badly designed and never updated...

    HP speaks out about Microsoft

    "Nick Lazaridis, HP’s EMEA President, explained that the company was actually working on several new products running Windows 10 Mobile, but they’re all being abandoned now because of Microsoft’s decision to abandon the operating system." This was what Microsoft wanted, OEMs launching devices...

    Battery life with GPS power saving mode on?

    When Microsoft announced the update with the GPS power saving feature, they had someone doing the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic with a Band 2 and they claimed the battery lasted for a whole day. I tried turning the GPS power saving mode on today and went for a bicycle ride. After about 4...

    Synchronising Band2 Fails

    I have the same problem with my Band 2, I'm also using an Android phone. So I tried to use it with my Lumia 950 XL instead. The Lumia does not show the "server sync-icon" at all, probably because it has never been able to sync since it was installed. So the conclusion will be that this is a...

    For how long will Microsoft Band / Health be supported?

    I have also been looking at the Garmin Vivoactive 3. I tried the Vivoactive HR for a while but in the end I returned it. It was a little too big to use as a daily watch and I kind of felt there was a successor coming. But it was very nice to be able to track swimming and the battery life was so...

    For how long will Microsoft Band / Health be supported?

    That's when it stopped syncing for me too, or at least the app says it has not synced, but it seems like it transfer most data to the server anyway.

    For how long will Microsoft Band / Health be supported?

    I guess no one knows, but what do you think? Since Microsoft canceled the Band 3 and removed the Band SDK the future doesn't look too bright. The Health dashboard / Band app outage didn't seem to get any priority from MS and some day the services will be permanently shutdown, the question is...

    Using a Lumia 950 XL in a car? Tips and tricks?

    Found my old 950 XL in a drawer and thought I would use it in my car for navigation and music. Updated the OS to the latest version and did a hard reset. Anyone else using their WM10 phone in the car? So far I am disappointed, it's a very bad experience, almost useless. - Windows Maps has no...

    Search on Start Menu does not find any apps! How to fix?

    Thanks, but in my case having a backup image wouldn't have helped, since I got this problem after a clean install. Anyway I ended up installing Stardock Start10 and that start menu has a working search and a lot more customization options.
