In my particular case, every update(including some app updates) resets my backup settings. I have facebook/Instagram/music/etc turned off. If I don't, it gets stuck trying to back up several GB worth of data. The phone gets hot and the battery drain happens non-stop(as it never finishes the...

I bought a used Surface Pro 3. I was in love with it. A week after I bought it, I made my coffee and took it to read outside on the porch. As I started up a video, I got to watch a crack develop from that stupid microphone hole all the way across the screen. The assumption is from temp...

I picked up an Inspiron 15 7579 for Christmas for myself. I'm saving up for an XPS 15 for my gf purely for that gorgeous screen(she does a lot of photo editing work)

All the apps I use are listed in the data usage. For AT&T, "System" is 1.14GB while the next highest is Facebook with 87MB. For WiFi "System" is 7.51 GB next is "Microsoft Edge" at 3.55 GB, Facebook at 1.24 GB, and Groove at 279 MB, OneDrive 245 MB. "System" is greatly disproportional to any...

I've got a 950(through work) and while talking to someone about Mint, I went to go look at my own data usage. I was shocked to see I'd used 14.3GB in the last 30 days. 1.61GB on AT&T. When looking at details, AT&T shows 1.32GB for "System" and 7.97GB for WiFi. I jumped on AT&T's site to see...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept that the production version would be newer than insider fast. Turned off insider builds and it's pulling down now.

There's very little info on 10.0.15254.12 and I keep checking and my phone still hasn't pulled it down. Am I just being impatient or do I need to switch out of Insider Fast to get the update?

I think it was one of MS's giant missteps. I wanted to jump on the WMR bandwagon but would require a new computer to handle it. Considering the timing, it'd be great if I could replace my XBox One(original) with an X and a WMR headset and kill two birds with one stone. Rather than doing what...

On my 950, it's Settings->Extras->Network services. Then I select my SIM and it has "Call waiting" on or off. I don't know why this isn't in the regular phone section.

FYI, I updated to build 15055 a few minutes ago and when I plugged my phone back in, went back to being "MTP Device" rather than "MTP USB Device". Did the same steps as above and back up and running.

After a little research, in device manager, I right clicked, went to Update Driver, Browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer, and selected one of the two "MTP USB Device" rather than "MTP Device". That got me back up and running. If I...

This morning I got the Microsoft WPD 5.2.5326.4762 update. Thinking nothing of it, I connected my phone to download pictures a few minutes ago(like I do a few times a week for work) and was shocked to see it pop up saying there's a problem with the device. When I get into device manager and...

I used "Reset my Phone" last night because it was so unstable. Doing the restore only restored about half my apps. I had to force install a lot of the built-in apps like Outlook Mail and Calendar. The really goofy thing is after it finished installing, my tile on my home screen for Outlook...

950 here and haven't been able to update any apps since the upgrade. Stuck in the dreaded "Downloading 0.10KB of x KB" and "Pending". Now up to 14 apps it wants to update including the store. Tried all the soft reset, in/out of airplane mode, pause all/resume some, etc. The really odd thing...

I'd give it to my gf. She does a lot of fandom photoshop work. I bought a surface pro 3 off ebay which the screen cracked on less than two weeks later after a tornado came through(apparently the POS can't handle pressure changes and cracked along the hole drilled for the mic). That was two...
