    Does any former Windows Phone user feel like moving to Android was a downgrade?

    My previous Android experiences were mostly rooted custom roms, HP TouchPad, and a Samsung Captivate. Also have LG tablet and Android radio system installed in my pickup truck. None of them are as disapointing as trying to use this Android. The thing that bothers me most is not being able review...

    I cannot disagree. I had expectations of a better Android. My previous Android experiences were mostly rooted custom roms, HP TouchPad, and a Samsung Captivate. Also have LG tablet and Android radio system installed in my pickup truck. None of them are as disapointing as trying to use this...

    Anyone buying a Nokia 9?

    I have the 9, 12MP is 12MP, no matter how many cameras. No optical zoom not enough pixels for crop zoom it does not hold the focus in action video, example aircraft taking off. All I wanted was a faster 1020, it is not.

    Coming from Nokia 1020 and 950XL. Waited for the Nokia 9 Pureview. Installed MS launcher. What I got was: PIE Android mess, simple things made difficult Less camera, no shutter button, no lanyard, Face unlock, fingerprint unlock, smart lock, none of these really work, It is a pretty phone, now...

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    950Xl daily. For me coming from the 1020, it is still about the camera. My 950Xl still out shoots the rest for my applications. I can do without the apps.

    Wish they would change the People app back to squares for the photos. Why not, they are not moving us to a unified look as we are abandoned. From feedback hub."84934+ People still want square pictures back."

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Carry the 950XL. Waiting for phone with a better camera than my old 1020, maybe the Huawei P20. Bought a Sony A6000 camera to hold me over. All I wanted was a faster 1020.

    LinkedIn, do you use it?

    I had an account long before MS bought it. I think it was a waste of money for MS, would have been better spent on WinMobile or making Cortana stronger. I have seen no real change since purchase. At times, it gets a Facebook feel, due to personal posts. I have used it, along with FB to find app...

    Save Windows (Phones)

    All I wanted was a faster 1020. I have yet to find a phone with a camera that meets my needs better than the 1020.

    Did what I could. I voted my shares against him.

    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    Used my stock proxy to vote against Nadella. Doing what I can. On the other hand the stock is up almost $50 since I bought back in.

    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    I use a 950XL everyday, and miss the 1020 when I shoot a photo. Always have to think about what the 950XL cannot do "photo wise" when I shoot. If the 950 died I would probably fire up the old 1020 again.

    Windows Mobile 10 phone stopped auto uploading to OneDrive

    Any idea what you did? Mine is not uploading either. It has been this way for a few months. I have poked and prodded all the setting, I can find. 950XL insider 10.0.15235.

    Lumia 950 XL WiFi issues

    Seeing something similar. Cortana "always" complains that she cannot get to the internet, various errors messages. Onedrive has will not connect to upload photos, even manually, "We couldn't connect to OneDrive. Try again." My Bluetooth setting do not appear to help anything. Wi-Fi works fine...

    Are you going to shell out $500 (or more) for Xbox One X?

    My "S" seems slower than my ONE. Probably all the OS updates, that in my opinion were useless. For me, it is just a game machine, all rest is just wasted cycles. Yes, I will probably buy after the first price drop or knew Halo.
