    Has tap to pay on NFC always been in windows 10 mobile

    I hope not :-) because the other day I set my Nokia Lumia 920 on top of my wallet to recharge and it started making funny noices. It turned out the phone started to talk to my credit cards in my wallet. I wonder what it bought...

    Things missing vs other platforms that keeps me from coming back

    Might be, but when it is time to choose a phone, people are not gonna choose 75% when they can get 100% of the apps available on iOS or Android. and that is the point. As long as all the services and apps are leaving instead of coming to WP, it isn't going to grow. It doesn't matter what people...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    Oh, let me back to WindowsPhone. Especially as I have just got a Band 2, and although it works with my iPhone, it's not the same without a Lumia!

    Is the 950/950XL still a good investment given Mr. Nadella's recent statements?

    Yep, no dice. "Backround App update" on iPhone just doesn't work like on a WP. Or OneDrive doesn't work on iPhone like on WP. The photos do get updated on the iCloud, but it's already full :-)

    Bring Me Back

    Because Microsoft, that's why. I think the post was aimed at that direction, not at the messenger ;-)

    Is the 950/950XL still a good investment given Mr. Nadella's recent statements?

    Not really - Onedrive syncs your photos on iPhone only when you open the app. Windows Phone syncs automatically. A huge difference that I miss, now that I have an iStone :-(

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    Oh I need an WP Phone, my Lumia 920 packed up and I am stuck with an iPhone 6+. I like the size, though, so 950 XL, please! I want to come back!

    How many people actually use Apps?

    Don't know about the others, but the live tiles are extremely cool. It's the number one reason I like the apps. With one glance I see what's next on my calendar, the newest topics on Facebook and IRL News... I suppose the fact that they all work similarly is a bonus and the Unix like thinking...

    Lumia 920 microphone issues

    I think we are talking about two different things. The problem was not that the people didn't hear me correctly, the microphone did not engage at all. When it worked (most of the time) I could sit in a car wash and talk, and the other party didn't even know I was in a car wash. My guess, it most...

    What is Microsoft trying to do with Skype?

    Meanwhile, after installing WP 8.1 and after Skype updates, it works! Skype now rings 9 out of 10, which is better than my iPad, that only rings if Skype is open and running. (might be a setting problem, don't know nor care) I might stay with WP a while longer...

    Lumia 920 microphone issues

    Good news! The problem seems to have disappeared with the Cyan/8.1 update. I also noticed on my holiday, that outside Germany the problem did not manifest itself. Good it have to do with the Vodafone net in Germany and the phones software not liking each other? I have also had other problems...

    Lumia 920 microphone issues

    Lumia 920 microphone issues

    Hi Paul, I seem to have developed the same issue. I had a problem with a weekly reboot, usually at nights, so I carried out a factory reset. Now, the occational rebooting seemes to be ok, but every now and then the microphone doesn't seem to work at all. After a normal reboot it is all ok...

    What is Microsoft trying to do with Skype?

    I'm not too bothered about the files and messages and so on, but I want to use Skype for video calls. But the damn thing on Lumia 920 rarely rings! How can I convince my friends with iStones to use Skype if I can't even answer them myself? This is one of the biggest reasons I am toying with the...
