My Nilkin H+ is still stuck perfectly, about a year-on, although I haven't been carrying my phone for a few months now, I'm still using it as a Cortana test device and similar. I believe it's because of the thickness, the Nilkin is just a bit thinner than the others out there, allowing it to...

For me, I experienced this once, before the DTTW firmware/software update. After that, if I had DTTW enabled, it was pretty frequent, if I just put the phone in my pocket, without hitting the power button. Either turning off DTTW or remembering to hit the power button to sleep before pocketing...

Has anyone tried disabling DTTW? This completely fixed this for me, at the time. I turned it back on, because I used the feature so much, but at least I understood a bit more about what was happening. For me, it seemed to be related to some of the light-sensor features, such as turning off and...

Even if MS fixes this, in the firmware (and any corresponding OS change), you need a carrier that supports it. To-date, no carriers support VoLTE on non-branded Win Phones, in the US, that I'm aware of anyway. I suppose it's possible there's a sub-carrier that offers support, but certainly none...

Yeah, I was surprised to see this, after all the issues recently with cell batteries. I'm on this thread, from way back; I still have a spare battery which I'll probably put up for sale, that I purchased right after I got my 950XL, almost a year back now, through a UK dealer. I feel a bit...

This was never my experience. I was in a citie(s), had 50mbps of cell signal from multiple towers, plenty of GPS, and my location, if used in Cortana, knew *exactly* where I was, for finding anything near me, down to maybe 1/2 block. If Cortana can tell me where there's a Greek restaurant...

Agreed, I keep backups as well, I like (or at least I used to like) Acronis, since I can do an image restore or a file/folder. The newer versions have gotten pretty ungainly with Win10 though, permissions issues constantly, so I'm looking around. I like Macrium, for what it is, I've used it to...

In place repair might work, it's quite a bit of work though, and you (ideally) need to build a fairly current image. Logging as a different user (I have a backup local Admin, for example) might allow you to change this too, or possibly a remote connection (which typically prevents sleep...

Band 12 worked for me (my 950XL isn't my daily-driver anymore), 100%, in terms of LTE data. Did you try the field-test, and disabling ALL EXCEPT band 12? I did this at some point, with TMo, and got screaming fast data, exclusively on Band12 (in a big city). Yeah, you can't get a call on it...

Has anyone tried disabling DTTW, to see if it helps? When I was using my 950XL as a daily device, that's what I did, when this was happening (relatively) frequently, and it fixed it, completely. It only lasted for one or maybe two RP builds though, and I went back to DTTW, with a...

Yeah, the last update killed it, frustrating. It was working pretty well, for a long time too, kind of got used to being able to use it... I get all notifications (from Android Cortana) except messages, to clarify. The option to sync messages is "greyed out" now on my device too, and if you...

So I experienced a number of scenarios, where almost nothing restored, and others where quite a few settings restored, and almost no apps (as mentioned a lot developers haven't updated to WP10 restore, and probably won't). Once on my wife's 950, I did a reset (it got all kinds of messed-up...

Yeah, I filed a bunch of feedback items on this, never got a single reply. Saying it "needs work" is putting it pretty nicely. The problem is compounded by the lack of any real alternative too, no other way to really back things up. Anytime I was doing a reset or similar, it was agonizing...

Hah, I went the other way, to a 6P, from a 950XL (and a whole series of Win Phones, since Win Phone 7 days...). My Credit Union gave up on WIndows Phone, and that along with the (in)stability of AU builds, right after the AU release, pushed me over the edge. I really, really miss the...

Yep. Scroll down to section 2: http://www.gsma.com/network2020/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FCM.01-v1.1.pdf
