100% right. Quick actions in the Windows 8 flavour of the action center that works consistently accross apps is much preferred. For one, I think the Surface pen should deserve its own space in there with the most basic options that would work no matter the app: tip size, color, and a few...

Tidal + Roon

Considering the latest announcement, talk about foretelling...

I switched to Tidal a few days ago and still can't believe the audio quality. For the time I still have my 950 I'll use Tidal unofficial which works a charm AND I can download all the songs at will (roughly 230 GB just for that). On the living PC I use the official Tidal software and set it up...

Wow! Philips CD101 is legendary stuff. Actualy listening to "Warrior on the edge of time" here... :) After having read bits here and there on the Web, seems many people are doing more or less what I've been doing. Keeping their purchased music on a safe drive on the cloud and tagging their...

Since Groove is going away I've been forced lately to look into other music services: iTunes, Google Music Play, Deezer, Spotify, Amazon and Tidal. Formerly a Zune and then a Groove Music Pass customer, I wanted to share my experience. After some installs and a few hours experimenting...

Music player panoramas - rather than the totally unusable one-handed playing with an hamburger menu Music search QR reading People hub LinkedIn integration Consistent metro experience - again, that worked great for one-handed manipulation

Under SIM Parameters I set the maximum speed to 3G. I was given 3 options: 4G, 3G, 2G. I presume this vary from carrier to carrier. An update on my battery usage. I'm now at 64% left. So that's 36% battery consumption in between 5h30 AM and 7h00 PM with a moderate usage as described earlier...

That's fantastic! Inpired by your comments I did the following changes to my Lumia 950 configuration. Only these two changes from an otherwise unmodified Lumia 950. 1 - The maximum network speed has been set to 3G 2 - Email sync setting has been set to "Depending on my phone usage" (emails...

Inspired by the comments from Chintan in this thread : http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-10-mobile/427692-windows-10-mobile-hard-resets.html I did the following changes to my Lumia 950 configuration. 1 - The maximum network speed has been set to 3G 2 - Email sync setting has been set...

Ok, I've found this link here that explains how to clearGroove Player cache : Basically, simply had to create a shortcut on my desktop to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Database then copy this shortcut to the phone (Documents folder) the...

Thanks. Tried what you've been proposing but with no success. While exploring the content of the Music folder on my phone I discovered that all my albums add a cover while exporing them with Windows Explorer but not all of them were showing them in Groove Player. I think I really need a way to...

Hello, The Groove Player on my Lumia 950 is showing a LOT of empty music genres. I just finished transfering about 500 albums from my Media Center collection on my phone. All albums were carefully tagged over the years (artist, genre, year, etc.) and all other music applications (Zune...
