    Map apps on Lumia 950/950 XL

    Well, I tried Preview build 10586 yet again on my Lumia 930, and immediately went to Store to stop HERE from updating, because once it updates it no longer works. So I have HERE Maps and Transit working side by side with Windows Maps, and I gotta say, HERE makes much more sense, at least here in...

    Map apps on Lumia 950/950 XL

    Yep, this is what I was afraid of. The fact that HERE is not available in the Store, that we see "(tm) HERE maps, Windows Maps" in the About of the new Maps app, that HERE has been saying sinse September "coming soon! We're working on it!"...all those signs lead me to think the new Maps is...

    Map apps on Lumia 950/950 XL

    Thanks everyone, very informative remarks! :amaze:I'm wondering if MS is aware of many urban users they have, and how often we commute by public transit. HERE had it down. Sure, the features could've been implemented into one single map, but at least the features were there. With HERE, when...

    [Quick Impressions] Who Just Got The Lumia 950 XL?

    Does the Maps app have public transit, does it show subway and bus stops, and you can tap to show details of those stops? I'm asking because I take public transit daily, and Here maps and Transit are (were?) fantastic in that regard.

    Map apps on Lumia 950/950 XL

    Hello 950 users, I'm wondering how the Maps apps are on this phone? Is HERE Maps not included? My understanding is W10M has merged the MS and HERE maps into one? If so, does the new Maps have the same great features that the HERE suite had, like transit, voice guided navigation, downloadable...

    Battery Life

    For the past few days I've been leaving it on battery saver once fully charged. At 100% it shows about one day left. A few hours later, after using it a bit for texting, picture taking, sending pics using WhatsApp, web browsing and light GPS use, it normally still shows one day day left. 10...

    This OS is in desperate need of a 2nd home screen.

    New Group is not available on the French Windows MarketPlace :( I went through the same frustrations with iTunes back in the day....

    How Does Live Tile Updates Affect Data Usage and Battery?

    My Lumia 800 was pretty good at first, in terms of battery, then once I started using it and downloading apps, I would be lucky if the battery lasted 7-8 hours. I did all the tricks, namely turning off automatic updates and keeping them off, and now I have around 18-24 hours of battery, with...

    Copy & paste in IE9

    With all due respect to MS, who has done a stand-up job with WP 7.5, Bing Mobile search, at least in France, is dismal. But that's for another post....Although the voice and photo search integration is a good step forward.

    Copy & paste in IE9

    it's in the timing I think I figured it out: it's all in the timing. I got it to work after the copy/paste icon ACCIDENTALLY appeared while I was on Google. It was then that I realized I was used to another kind of UI (android). It takes a kind tactical tap as if you're stealthily swatting a...

    I'm having the same problems as frdnd, on my Lumia 800. There's no way to copy from IE9. It doesn't beep, there's no cursor, nothing....

    Really want to like wp... Please help me transition

    I think when you say "droid" you mean Android? Or the Droid phone? Anyway, I've just made the switch from Android, too, mostly because I :thought: I hated Google. I still do, and I still love the WP7.5 GUI, but I sorely miss Google maps on my old HTC Android. I was able to drop pins, to tap on...

    Battery Life

    I got my Lumia last Friday, and played with it all weekend, but plugged it in regularly to either the charger or my PC. Today was the first day I took it out "in the wild" all day, at work, on my commute, showing it off to friends, etc. Unplugged it from the charger before leaving at 7:30am...
