    Might switch OS, need help.

    Thanks everyone for the help. I have found that when my brother creates events in the Outlook App in our calendar it shows up on my lock screen and notifies me. But it doesn't vice versa. So, on that note I have a different question. My friend is willing to let me borrow his old LG G something...

    Might switch OS, need help.

    Thanks for the responses. Yes HTC M8 is not getting W10, HTC blames MS, MS blames HTC. Thanks PKCable for the link, it actually helped me out. Looks like I will be able to switch over no problem. I just wish I knew someone directly that uses Android the way I need to, so I can mess with their...

    Might switch OS, need help.

    I unfortunately don't have any Android friends to ask, as they are pretty clueless about technology. I figured this is the best place to ask since I haven't used Android since the Galaxy S1. I currently have an HTC M8 For Windows, and it is starting to have issues. I need it to last till...

    Explain Unlocked Phones to me?

    So from a post yesterday about recommendations on a phone for my wife, we came across a ton of unlocked phones she likes. However on Amazon it shows GSM unlocked, working on ATT and T-Mobile services only. I know Verizon is/was CDMA, but didn't they add/get GSM? And isn't the point of an...

    Deciding on a new phone for wife. Any suggestions?

    Deciding on a new phone for wife. My wife's 822 is starting to go to the way of the graveyard, and she has been due for an upgrade for years. I upgraded from the HTC 8x to the HTC M8 for Win. I looked on Verizons web site and they don't have squat for windows phones(lumia 735 and LG Lancet). I...

    Up the creek again

    This really saddens me. Spending the amount I spent on for a flagship phone believing that I would always be kept up to date, and actually not, infuriates me. I have converted so many people at the company I work for from iOS and Android to WP, only for something like this to happen. I can't...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    I would replace my wifes 822 with this, her battery doesn't last very long, and its constantly having issues. She's a new mother and deserves something nice for a phone.

    HTC Dot View broken

    So I accidentally uninstalled Dot View, and when I closed the case it would sit there with Dots and not go to sleep, so it ate up my battery. I couldn't find Dot View in the store, but I found a QR code on these forums to it and I was able to redownload it. Problem now is whenever I receive a...

    Surface 3 and email/wifi issues

    First off I want to start off with the email issues, see if anyone else has a solution or has had this problem before. My wife and I access our email through outlook.com(formerly Hotmail). We don't use the mail app because it is ****, as well as other reasons. Problem is when we go to...
