Hi all... Have a quick update. I reached out to the T-Mobile Twitter support team and they have escalated the issue to the Engineering team. I did let them know that other folks seem to be having the same issue as I just not as extreme of a skew. I would say, that if any of you feels up to it...

Sorry for the delay, didn't get notified that there was a response. I had not checked using external recovery tools. Nope, haven't checked XDA yet. That's a good idea. Any particular tools I should use besides the Windows Device Recovery Tool? Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you so very much for the information. Really appreciate it! I'll download the Mobile Nations one then, since the old one won't be receiving updates anymore. :-)

TFA = Two Factor Authentication apps. Like Microsoft Authenticator and LastPass Authenticator. I'm Pacific Time and by a bit, actually. I just checked using time.gov. My phone changed from 3:58 PM to 3:59 PM, when time.gov read 3:59:51 PM.

Hi all! Hopefully someone will have an idea about this out there. I was setting up my TFA app on the phone (tried both Microsoft and LastPass) and I was noticing that the codes were always failing. I started up my old Sprint Arrive and did the same and codes were working fine. Odd thing is...

Thanks! I really appreciate the responses! I'll read the Liquid Glass review and take a look at the Mr. Shield link. A fried also said to go to a T-Mobile store and have them do it for me, that the one they use is pretty good. But honestly, I haven't had time to check it out.

I recently upgraded my old phone to a WM10 phone and as I was going abouts updating my apps I found two Windows Central apps. The first is the Jay Bennet one that we've had for a while, the other is from Mobile Nations. The link here says is the Jay one, but that is still a WP8 one and the...

Hi all! Just upgraded to the Idol 4S and up to now I'm REALLY enjoying it. I did want the thoughts of the owners out there. As the title says, should I get glass/screen protector or not? The main reason for the question is that I had to get a screen protector for my Band 2 after the first...

Hi all! So my Ativ S Neo bit the big one some weeks ago. I actually upgraded to an Idol 4S since I want to stay in the ecosystem, and heck I really like the WinPhone (yes, I know it's not called that anymore) more than the other OSes out there. In any case, and the reason for the post, I...

Thanks to all, late last week I ordered my Idol. Came in and I've been playing around with it. Up to now I'm REALLY happy with it. Although there are some odd things that I wasn't expecting when moving from WP8 to 10. For example, there is no easy way to tell what apps have Win10 flavors...

You are correct sir! Actually, all of your compromises would still apply to me coming from the Ativ: - Never had Wireless Charging - Didn't have NFC - Camera on Ativ is 8MP Rear / 1.5 MP Front. So I've never know the wonders of PureView/Zeiss. So it'll still be a step-up for me. - No Glance...

Whelp... My Ativ S just died on Friday :cry: and I just realized that I never got back to this thread. So it's time to really upgrade. I was hoping that MWC '17 would have some sweet "Surface Phone" news, but yup, nothing there. Since I really need a new phone now, looks like I only have...

OK... I'm going to wait a bit more for the Idol4S Reviews to start coming in as someo of you suggested. I did read Danie's posts and finally got a chance to see the specs. It looks like most of the specs are in line with the Elite X3, except the screen resolution. Looks like doesn't have...

Thanks for the input... I was referring to this Forum Post: http://forums.windowscentral.com/general-windows-phone-discussion-lounge/443355-microsoft-device-support-message.html#post3581986

Yup... It's another one of those threads, but after reading and reading and reading, I'm just ending up more confused. :eck: I've had my trusty Ativ S since launch and have been holding out to replace it in hopes for the fabled "Surface Phone" that I've just accepted will not come any time...
