Unfortunately the above hasn't worked. Deleting all the downloaded maps, changing the download location to internal storage, removing the SD card & rebooting still leave me with an unusable maps app with no way to reset or uninstall it. This is what I'm getting: The option to uninstall is...

As the title says. The maps app simply does not work on my Lumia 950 and hasn't for a year or more. Attempting to go to it causes a crash and dumps me back to the start screen. I can get further if loading the maps app via a cortana/search link, but ultimately the app will still crash every...

This one is easy: Carrier Command Released in 1987. There was a remake a few years back but had nothing on the original. My main copy when I was growing up was a 40-50 min demo that simply locked up when the time limit expired and I played it for years on my old Amiga - I'm lucky that my...

Varies. Looking back I've had an entirely new rig every 4-5 years since 95 so arguably I'm on my 5th different rig. The first 3 were purchased complete, last 2 self build. In terms on how often I make changes, depends on money in the bank and needs - I have replaced the motherboard/cpu every...

Right now, I'm using it. As my phone. Unfortunately, without new hardware, I doubt that will continue much into next year - my 950 will continue as a backup phone but I suspect I'll be moving to android (I have an ipod touch for ios and it's far to limited for my liking - having to add a credit...

Something I found earlier today, might be common knowledge but thought it would be worth sharing: I've found that it's possible to download older and more importantly, delisted apps & install them on my Lumia 950 (running creators update, no insider builds) - there are some exceptions but, for...

Depends - I'll buy digital if the game has crossplay support without hesitation - I got a free physical copy of Forza Horizon 3 with my Xbox One S purchase in October but being a disc, it would only work on the Xbox One and require the disc to be inserted. Sold it and bought the digital version...

...having left everything for a few days, about 25 favourites were left on my phone. Those have synced to my tablet correctly - but I'm missing at least 1,000 favourites that have simply vanished. Is there any way to recover them or can I assume that they were deleted and are permanently lost?

If you can afford it, have to suggest the 950 simply because you'll get support for longer. WP8.1 supports ends on July 11th - just 16 days away - so if you have a problem, you can't phone Microsoft and request assistance, it'll be a job for the forums. You'll also not get any more security...

In the short/medium term, I'm starting to think that realistically I'll have to switch to Android. I'm not a big fan of it but having had an ipod touch for 4 months, I don't think ios is viable - in any case, dual sim iphones don't exist and that's pretty much a mandatory requirement for me...

The only concern I would have with suggesting the 640 is whether it will get any more updates for Win 10 - it's the only pre x50 Lumia to have got the Creator's update - and at it's current age I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get many more software updates

No guarantee that 32bit support will mean cshell is backported to existing phones - might be simply to allow 32bit UWP apps to remain supported. However... With the usual cycle leading to the iPhone 5 not getting ios 11 and being the last iPhone with a 32bit cpu, Apple can shift everything to...

As per the title, I attempted to sync my Edge favourites, the idea being to copy them from my 950 to a spare tablet (with the intention of being able to convert them to IE). For edge, I have not previously used sync at all. I've used favourite sync on IE with WP8.1 on my 830 and W8.1 - wasn't...

Sorry but I do not think the reply from davidhk129 is valid. You say that the licence came with your laptop so it is an OEM licence (in this case provided by Dell) - therefore is it NOT transferable to another PC as it is permanently linked to the motherboard in your Dell laptop. It doesn't...

Not in the slightest and certainly doesn't mean I'll switch to Linux - it's horrific to learn and driver support for anything beyond a mouse and keyboard, to use your words, is a joke. The problem is people not patching their OS and refusing to patch their system when requested. If Linux had...
