Lumia 735 with Win 10 I use Edge most of the time for Facebook and occasionally Instagram (it's actually very usable, more than the official app that takes two tries to startup). I use Whatsapp, Chronos Calendar, myTube, Maps, banking app, Nextgen Reader for feedly, Sportstracker, Sensie (to...

Hi guys, Lumia 735 on CU. Today evening out of the blue my Lumia decided to throw another wrench. It froze and after restart when in start menu or any app I can't pull down action center. I can pull it down while on lock screen though. Happened to me once before but restart helped. Today I...

Hi guys I have a Lumia 735 on W10M CU (1703, build 15063.297). I had 3 email/calendar accounts setup - two gmail accounts and a MS account (called Hotmail) and of course the MS account. Now out of the blue a couple of mornings ago the Hotmail account went into bork mode. Calendars are gone...

Yes, probably. I never actually dug deep into into since I no longer use that app (can't even remember which one was it) and all the others behave pretty much correctly. Also I did a quick test with USA today web and it seems the design is not responsive to screen size but rather to something...

Devices using onscreen buttons report two different resolutions to applications. I don't really know much about it I just know I had scaling issues with some apps and when I contacted the devs they told me the phone is reporting a different resolution than it actually has.

Confirmed over a couple of days of testing, the above will fix the issue.

Worked for me. The nitpick is that the LED won't stop blinking until you actually clear the notification. I'd probably want the LED to stop flashing when I see the notification (that is copy the notification indicator state from the status bar). Also on 735 the LED is really bright, I mean its...

I just opened my long forgotten tab with this contest and found out no news here ... anyone knows anything?

Hi guys. Seems like increasing the page file size can fix this problem (or at least it will occur with more open tabs). See this thread on how to do it. https://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-10-mobile-how-guides/452772-speed-up-your-windows-phone-10-works-100-tested-new-post.html

Hi I searched for a help on getting my background tasks stuck (Lumia 735) after a couple of days (was 7 days before I moved from Non-insider to Slow Ring, now it's 2-3 days). Stuck background tasks means any app that did something on the background (e.g. read data from Sensorcore and display a...

Yes, for me it is also called joyn. According to mighty Wikipeadia, this is a notification about RCS that should be present in the messaging app and it's pretty much just a cellular network standard for something like WhatsApp. It's silly that the notification sender is broken like this. I...

Hi all. I have a Lumia 735 with CU from slow ring. The OS isn't very stable but that's another thing. Calendar stopped showing detailed status on lock screen with some update (don't know which one). When I pin the live tile the detailed status comes back. But I don't want Outlook live tile...

I'm not sure if I would really go the "two OSes in one" route with an average consumer. Such a person doesn't even know what exactly an OS is and what it does and what it doesn't - I've experienced people equaling applications with OS such as "my Windows doesn't work - how so? - It won't load...

Well, no, I actually did mean what you suggested. I do have some basic education in operating systems :) Well not really, I actually meant the exact opposite. My wording was probably bad, sorry for that, English is not my native language. What I meant is that kernel (and pretty much everything...

Yes and no. The base of the OS is the kernel which is only one. Kernel runs everything else including system processes like shell, HAL, API libraries, drivers, user processes etc. (okay, that is not completely precisely true but is a good enough abstraction for the purpose I try to make). In...
