My 950 has been trying to install the 2018-08 update for the last month, and now the 2108-09 update. It always fails with a message about a problem with date/time/timezone all of which are correct. Any idea how to get it to update?

I'll take one!

I would love to get one of these!

I could swear that part of the W10M setup asks if you want to enable Find My Phone...

It won't extend a Office 365 Home subscription. I managed to do it by activating the free O365 Personal on a new account, upgrading it to O365 Home, $10, and then contacting support. The cancelled the 15 months I had on the new account and gave me a code good for 12 months on O365 Home. (So I...

The only Office apps for Windows 10 Mobile are the ones in the app store. You can't install the downloaded O365 that is intended for PCs. As far as saying you can install O365 on 5 smartphones, I think that they are mainly referring to iOS/Android. The only time you need a O365 subscription on...

AVRCP works fine for me with my MS Band 2 and my Fitbit Surge. (Well other than the flickering/re-updating of the track title when you skip forward/backward just like on the volume control panel.) Not to mention about 6 different BT headsets I have tried.

Correct, a hard reset completely removes the phone from the Insider program and returns it to the production path.

Yes.

Actually most Lumias, at least in the US, are controlled by the carriers, so they would have to approve any firmware update.

Re: windows 10 mobile 10586.63 Hard reset via the buttons. Did you update from a really old build? (I ask because this was a known issue if you hard reset on build 10581. At least I think that is what the build was.) BTW: If that is your issue a hard reset gets your phone mostly working, but...

Gabe has said that this time the Insider Hub is not in the builds, but will be put back in the future. He says for now you have to use Insider Hub on a PC.

You could have saved some time by just doing a factory reset, which doesn't restore an old version of the OS, and then got the firmware via WU.

I've finally done more searches, and it seems to show all of the ones I have done, way more than just two. However, it only shows searches on have done on that device, the history doesn't sync across devices at all.
