    Anyone tried putting the Creators update on yet?

    A month plus on and no one? Mine has been trying and trying to update, and hits the dreaded "not enough room for ramdisk" error. I've deleted everything I think I can off of C: and still no go - grrr. Hoping someone has a suggestion for a fix.

    W10M is dying right in front of my eyes :-(

    Its the hit and miss aspects of the browser part of W10m that frustrate me the most. IN THEORY if you live where you can be 100% connected to the web all of the time, the browser stuff seems great - but if you travel out in the country where you can't get a signal at all - a lot of stuff dies...

    Windows 10 Mobile Official/Production: Anniversary Update 14393.1066 (Redstone 1, non-Insider)

    Re: Windows 10 Mobile Official/Production: Anniversary Update 14393.448 (Redstone 1, non-Insider) If this was the same experience on every build, then I'd give it a little more credence - but this is the 2nd build in a year of being on Insider (so, many updates) that has had this kind of...

    Re: Windows 10 Mobile Official/Production: Anniversary Update 14393.448 (Redstone 1, non-Insider) 5 days of this - battery life is horrible... if this keeps up, I'll go back to my Blackberry Z10... yeah, that bad...

    Cumulative Update: build 14393.221 Discussion (Redstone 1; Release and Slow Rings)

    640. Mine updated overnight last night. Seemed fine all day today - I am resetting again tonight just to make sure if it didn't by itself... honestly, I didn't notice any difference today at all and not until I saw this and then checked my phone that I had updated already. The best kind of...

    14342 Battery usage

    Looks like I'm not the only one - this thing (Lumia 640) is hot and eating up battery faster than my old Blackberry Z10 on 10.1.1... (EEK!) Looks like I need to back it up a step and sit tight until they get it cured.

    gasbuddy app crash on data

    Good for you. Mine is still stuck to wifi only - They initially contacted me back and suggested reinstall (well, duh! But I did it, AGAIN, same results) and then to verify my cell data approvals (it is allowed) They then wrote me saying no one else (really?) has this issue... it's just little...

    Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586.107 available now

    My .107 update fixed my mmc problem... I wasn't getting photo messaging either in or out... on .71 this seems to be fixed. Some apps are still having problems connecting to phone data though... I'm looking squarely at you, GasBuddy...

    There is no app gap

    How observant... my very point, in point of fact. That there are a "million" apps on some other phone OS's... but that a lot of them are headless or fake... So claiming x OS is "better" because it has "more apps" is like saying a phone book for Manhattan is better than a dictionary because it...

    .71 build and using mobile data

    Hi everyone, My 640 upgraded a few days ago through the insider program to .71. Since then, I've had several mobile apps that no longer want to transmit any data down the phone side - only want to use wi-fi to work... I have attempted to make sure that the permissions are set to allow for cell...

    There is no app gap

    Every time I hear the phrase "app gap" - I point the person who says it to this (now old) article. Almost a million fake apps are targeting your phone | Computerworld This is the reality of the "app gap" - are there apps from some companies not available on some phones? Sure. That said...

    Pentium dual core 2.8ghz is right for Windows 10?

    No. but you will still want to have the drivers for Win 8 ready for it as needed. On my laptop, I went from Win 7 to Win 10.

    Pentium dual core 2.8ghz is right for Windows 10?

    processor alone isn't the issue. It's all the related pieces that may cause issues. Driver issues are the biggie. You need to make sure that you have good working Win8 drivers for everything your computer has - THAT will determine it. But that processor will do it (if everything else does).

    Hi! Been here a while but forgot to intro...

    Giving that new setting a try. Most of my correspondence is emails - so it doesn't look like it'll help there.... but all the back and forth with the wife and kid... yes indeed. Thanks for all greetings!

    gasbuddy app crash on data

    Did anyone get this figured out? My phone is doing it also.
