    Redstone Build supporting Touchscreen on Continuum wireless display!

    How did this sneak up on me? I do remember reading that touchscreen support was "coming soon" to Continuum, but I use Continuum everyday in all kinds of scenarios and have not actually witnessed this feature yet.........until a minute ago. I was experimenting with using the Surface Pro 4 as the...

    Surface arc mouse problems

    The arc mouse IS my go-to for many devices. It is currently working properly with my: Lumia 950 running 10586.318 Lumia 950XL running Redstone 14342.1003 Surface Pro 2 running 10586.??? Surface Pro 4 running Redstone 14342.1001 Having said all that, I do have to sometimes put it back into...

    Surface Pro 4 won't boot on New INsider BUild 14342

    Eagle-bro, You da man! Thanks. I love the feature set of Redstone, but the shutdown issues and hot-in-the-travel-bag situation had me baffled. I do think it is funny that I get a faster boot up by defeating "Fast-Boot" feature. :)

    What has happened to Windows 10m?

    It's true that upgrading the desktop does not "require" a hard reset.....but just like with these mobile devices, there is a performance advantage for doing so. With ANY OS on ANY device, it is just logical that a clean install gets better results than an upgrade. It's the nature of the...

    Windows Phone Messages Backup pc app

    Same result here. I downloaded several years worth of SMS messages, but it stops at 10/30/2015 There is an obvious change that took place at that time. I suspect it was a server-side(cloud) change? Perhaps this app can't access the messages after the hypothetical change? Is it because of a...

    Why join Insider Preview... To Complain?

    Just my opinion: The Insider Program is a huge success And it continues to be so, regardless of how it might be experienced by the participants. Or put another way, it is serving its purpose. It is driving the development and providing RICH data for the developers. (Whether the participants...

    Windows Phone Messages Backup pc app

    I'll take what I can get. Thank you developer! I can live without reliable sms syncing while running preview builds and such. But eventually, I want ALL my historical sms messages to be back on ALL my devices. This app gave me peace of mind by verifying that all those missing text messages...

    Adding Gmail account: "Your browser is not supported anymore"

    I gave in and added my gmail account to the Outlook app. I WAS rather enjoying the sweet web-based render in Edge Mobile, and the features that were very slick. But alas, the temporary harmony has apparently ended.

    Re: W10M Insider Preview 14295 Issues (Redstone branch) Yea, it is not uncommon during development (on both ends these days...OS and Apps) that uninstalling, reinstalling, moving to SD card, moving to local storage...................ALL of these techniques become necessary as first steps in...

    W10M Insider Preview 14295 Discussion (Redstone Branch, inactive)

    Re: W10M Insider Preview 14295 Issues (Redstone branch) All devices (L640's, L640XL's, L1520's, L950's and 950XL's) running the Redstone branch are no longer compatible with our main corporate W10M universal app. The same devices running 10586 branch, and all W10 desktops are ok. Not sure what...

    Lumia 520, 720, 820, 920, 1020, 1320 (x20 series) Owners

    Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners I'm staring "senior citizenship" right in its face. �� Yea, I can hold a new Walmart Lumia 640 in my hands, loaded with 10586.164 loaded on it, and simply marvel at what we can accomplish with $40 bucks. I can walk an "W10M unaware" coworker or...

    Things missing vs other platforms that keeps me from coming back

    The app-gap IS an issue for many. Not an issue for some. (I'm a "some") But needing the best "Work Phone" driving someone to leave Microsoft platform? Wow, must be something very specific. Because "work" is what KEEPS me on Microsoft. In fact, it's the one environment I can continuously cause...

    Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners For the last few months, at least 6, I've heard every ridicule imaginable about the "feedback" program. Every insult under the sun hurled at Microsoft. So now we find out that they WERE listening to us. And while we may not like the result, if it...

    Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10586.107 available now

    Setting up a brand new out of the box AT&T branded 950. (As many phones as I have setup for others, this is the first AT&T 950) Came it 10.586.0 lol And older firmware too. So first thing is to let her catch up to APPS and FW. Then I have to decide whether to load .107 and hard reset. Or...
