    High Quality Case?

    I have one that looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lumia-OEAGO-Microsoft-Cover-Accessories/dp/B013MZ948I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470367653&sr=8-1&keywords=950xl+rugged+case&t=wpcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3534051 It's tough and seems to protect the phone well. Only...

    Lumia 950 XL signal strength with T-Mobile

    Verizon generally has better signal inside of buildings due to the frequency they use. T-Mobile is rolling out Band 12 which should also be able to penetrate buildings but most cities won't roll out until the end of the year. I don't think AT&T will have anything similar. I definitely have a...

    Lumia 950 XL signal strength with T-Mobile

    You may have to install redstone.

    Lumia 950 XL signal strength with T-Mobile

    There shouldn't be much difference. Try upgrading to the latest firmware. I seem to get better reception now.

    Microsoft Support and 950xl FW

    Seriously. If it's not on their scripted response they are clueless.

    List of Lumia 950 XL replacement parts and part numbers

    Just thought I'd point out that the back panel of the phone is different depending on whether you have a single sim or dual sim phone. I didn't realize that and got the back panel for the single sim since I had broken camera glass and it was cheaper than buying just the glass (only $11)...

    DTTW not always turning on screen, anyone else?

    No issues, but then I don't use the iris scanner, so maybe it has something to do with that?

    updated firmware and fast rig, now where's panorama?

    The slow ring isn't current. There have already been incremental updates since the build you are on. There was .3 and .5. You might need to be on the fast ring to get it. Also, I have heard that you may have to wait 24-48 hours before you will get the insider version of the apps.

    Is the 950XL the last Windows Phone you buy?

    Re: Is the 950XL the last Windows Phone you buy Not unless MS gives up entirely. I went from a 928 -> Icon ->1520 -> 950 XL. I have loved all of them though the 1520 was my favorite for a while. However, I have been slowly liking the 950 XL more and more. Between the W10 improvements and the...

    My 950XL saved photos very slow

    I had this problem a while back but I think it was fixed with one of the redstone builds. So, should be fixed when anniversary comes out, or just join the fast insider ring and get it now.

    How to get latest W10M 14393.x ?

    Just join the fast ring. 14393.x should be the anniversary build. The x is just minor incremental bug fixes.

    The 950 worked out for me so well, that I upgraded to a 950XL. Now I have a question.

    I dunno, if you are happy with it then keep it. Otherwise return. $300 is a good deal if you don't need both sims.

    Double Tap To Wake now available on WDRT and OTA

    Phone seems faster somehow. Maybe placebo, but it seems the touch screen is more responsive at least.

    Impatient for 950 XL FW update in US

    Same here. Really glad I waited and didn't wipe the phone.

    Worth updating to anniversary already?

    Probably safe to upgrade now. Everything seems to work.
