Hello all, I've recently switched to a 950xl from a 920, so now I have the new authentication app, MS Authenticator... But the thing is, it asked me to add my MS account and gives me for it an 8-digit code and at the same time, I also have the regular 6-digit one for the MS account, like for...

I had this happen to me because of dust accumulating in the proximity sensor's chamber. Blowing some air into it fixed it for me.

My worry is that tricking the OS into thinking it's a different phone through the registry, is later gonna cause problems when the OS runs the phone (ie like driving an old car thinking it's a ferrari).

Well, if it was just tricking MS into installing the version, that would be one thing... but I worry about how the phone will work if the OS manages it as different device.

I wish I could bring redstone to my 920 (without registry hacks), but I guess I should be happy it managed to get w10 with threshold 2. At this point I'm gonna continue holding out for that mythical surface phone.

I only had that problem once or twice in the past, but it was with wp8.1. At those times, I fixed it by selecting 3g as max, wait a few seconds, then switch back to 4g and it would successfully connect to 4g.

Search for "cellular & sim" in the settings, there you will see "sim settings" at the bottom, where you can choose your max connection. (and toggle that 3g option back on)

For Bing picture of the day to apply to the start screen!

Finally made the jump yesterday, with the newly announced third ring. I was worried my trusty old 920 was gonna have a hard time, but other than a longer boot time, it doesn't feel less responsive than 8.1. Also, it's only been one day, but battery is kinda ok. Maybe it's because I simply...

While waiting for that mythical surface phone, I would not mind this one :D

The 950XL, since I've never had a phone that big, so I want to give it a try :excited:

Those are the prices from the French press release, so it applies only to France.

Expensive here in France: 599€ for the 950, 699€ for the 950 XL

Bought it yesterday and it's so far the calendar app I've liked the most, so keep up the good work! That said, I would like to ask for a small cosmetic feature: would it be possible on the live tile, when you choose to use custom colors that only the small bar on the left uses the color and the...

You just made me check and yes, an update was available. I've just started to browse around for the changes (the delete unread news is awesome) but I can already say I love the new look. Thanks for the update and keep up the great work!
