    Lumia 640 just updated, weird.

    I still use my 640 for little PDA-like tasks and just tonight it started updating, went through the whole shebang of gears spinning and transferring files. As far as I can tell it's still the same, Version 1703 Build 10.0.15063.1631 Anyone have something similar happen?

    Surface Go Kickstand Misalignment

    Hello, I got a Surface Go today and have been enjoying it immensely. I noticed a few hours in that the hinges on both sides of the device had become misaligned, sticking up and catching my hand while holding it. I'm going to exchange it at Best Buy tomorrow. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Any use for light gaming?

    I’m curious how it does with pre-2005 titles. Old games like Half-Life, Starcraft, Doom, dosbox, etc...

    iOS. My move experience

    I miss WP 8.1, W10M was never really super awesome except for a few notification conveniences. On iOS I have an app and game ecosystem (and the hardware to match, W10 was really hard on my lumia 640 and never played games well.), clearing notifications I iOS is annoying, I don't understand the...

    The New "Fluent Design System" Reminds Me of the Zune HD's UI

    Most specifically in the way that apps will animate with the new Fluent UI. The Northwinds Sprinkler System demo reminded me a lot of the old proto-Modern design paradigm. https://youtu.be/7IHPeahhfjI?t=38:21 (Will update to a video that works better later, the timecode url isn't working. Go...

    Win a Lumia 950 XL from Windows Central!

    This would be quite an upgrade from a Lumia 640.

    Windows 10 Mobile Discussion and Problem Solving Thread

    Installed Win 10 build 10586.11 on a T-Mobile Lumia 925, Cortana was missing and everything was unstable so I did a master reset. Everything seemed good until I started getting an access point error. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

    How Should I Ask Cortana to Open the Xbox App?

    I'm having great success opening apps with Cortana, though, like with the Xbox One, you have to specifically say the correct name. Anyway, it seems that a simple, "Cortana, open the Xbox app" does not work. When I state the command, she then asks me whether I'm trying to open the Xbox One or...

    What Exactly Will I Lose When I Factory Reset My Phone?

    My Lumia 925 feels like it has begun to slow down and encounter more bugs as it ages. In order to hopefully refresh the phone I am going to factory reset it. I know I need to back up pictures and everything else in storage. My main question is, how much app data will I lose? I.E. how much if...

    Surface 2 Battery Life

    Now that the Surface 2 has been out for a while I was wondering how battery life has been for its owners. After the initial reviews I haven't seen anyone talking about their battery life. Also if you could, what are your usage patterns(apps, games, wi-fi) in relation to your battery life...

    Scratched Up Screen After One Week

    Sorry for sounding like a broken record, I really do love and am sticking with my 925 but I carried my iPhone 5 in my pocket with all sorts of random things, including everything you just described. No scratches. And thank you Hamberthm, I thought it was probably the coating over the glass. I...

    Scratched Up Screen After One Week

    I don't believe I've carried it with anything else in my pocket. Perhaps once with a jacket pocket with some keys. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be so fragile given everyone claims Nokia makes indestructible phones.

    Scratched Up Screen After One Week

    No screen protector. I think I had one on an Android phone from a few years ago. I don't think I noticed scratches before on my older phones because I normally never got any.

    Scratched Up Screen After One Week

    I've had my new Lumia 925 for a week and I'm so happy to be away from iTunes on Windows. I've used it the same as my caseless iPhone 5. In and out of pockets and very rare drops on the carpet. The thing is, little scratches have started to form on either side of the screen and I think they're...

    BF4 Beta textures?

    If you'll recall there are HD textures that I believe are downloaded for BF3. With BF4 being a beta it would just be excess data for what is a beta. I think the final game will look better but I don't know what the final textureset will look like versus BF3 given how much more other stuff is...
