    How do I best Microsoftize my new Pixel 2?

    I linked my Outlook account with contacts. It worked fine for me. Google apps are okay. It's just that they ruin the experience because their apps are always listening in on what your doing and saying. For example, I went to Panera bread and ordered a blue berry scone while youtube was playing...

    Google Play Music access via Windows 10 phone

    Re: Google Play access via Windows 10 phone So i gave GPlayer pro a chance and it sucks. It loads the entire play list each time i open it. Groove only loaded the entire music collection when you signed in the first time, and then updated individual albums as it went. This takes minutes to...

    Twitter app that allows 280 characters

    I just use the web app and pin it to my home screen. It works just like the app but better, and will always be updated. The only thing it doesn't have is notifications, which is the only reason i still keep the app.

    I would like to buy a smartphone with Windows 10 Mobile as the OS. What are my options?

    Do. Not. But. A Lumia 650. They aren't durable. I went through 3 of them in no time. Headphone jacks wear out, screen bends, battery life is awful. Do not buy a Lumia 650. It was the worst phone I ever owned. The Lumia 950 was like night and day, it's so much better than the 650.

    Deezer or Tidal Unofficial App? Which is Best for Mobile?

    Title says it all. I don't know which to invest in for mobile. The Spotify app is garbage. MS Groove is on its last leg. Which is better, Tidal or Deezer? I wont be using the high end streaming that tidal offers so that isn't an option. I do like to discover new playlists though. Can anybody...

    What phones are you thinking of switching to?

    I don't know what I want to do. The iPhone 7 has terrible battery life (about 2000) compared to my Lumia950 which stores 3000. Apple is putting form over function with their short battery life here. I'd have to step up to the iPhone 7 plus to get one that had about 2700 in battery power. Or I...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    Goodbye MS. MS it's been interesting. That's the best way I can put it. You didn't allow upgrade from windows phone 7 OS to 8 OS. Most of the 8's couldn't move to 10 either. You killed Zune for some shoddy music service, which you switched to Xbox Music, then to Groove, and then, you killed...

    The Spotify App is Dysfunctional

    MS ****** their mobile uses. I'm going with Apple Music and iTunes. iTunes will soon make a UWP app for windows desktop and Ill use that with my new iPhone whenever I have the money. I'm furious! There is not one credible music app for windows phone now. Music is a core function of any mobile...

    New HP x3? The x4?

    When youre forced out of your groove subscription your Onedrive limit will go back down to 5 gigs, unless you use Office 365. It's over.

    Groove music

    Not to mention you will only have 5 gigs worth of space, instead of 100 gigs, once you can no longer subscribe to Groove. So Microsoft's cloud service is weak because that's not much cloud space it will hold. It's best to have a back up harddrive and put your music on an SD card that you can fit...

    New HP x3? The x4?

    Jesus Christ. Windows 10 is over! Done, finished! A core function of mobile devices is music and windows doesn't have a credible music app anymore. The Spotify mobile app isn't functional so it's over. Move on.

    What's your streaming plan now?

    Davey Carter, Apple Music unlocks streaming in iTunes and from there you can use your local and streaming. So is Google music really better? Maybe there should be a better comparison of the two services. I know I am leaning towards apple because iTunes was the best music software I have ever...
