And I'm willing to make a little compromise as they hash this out. A quick solution could be to bring the OneDrive Store app over to Windows 10 machines until they do this "sync engine merger" or "rebuilding" or whatever. That way, at least browsing, uploading and downloading could be done in a...

I must say, I'm surprised that Windows Central's writers haven't made a bigger stink about this now that Windows 10 is officially out. Hopefully MS hears their end users out and rectifies this. I guess I'm off to find the OneDrive Uservoice website...

I agree with everyone here. This change wasn't totally clear to me because I was running the preview builds in a VM that was light. I wasn't syncing OneDrive or anything because it was just a test machine. Luckily, I upgraded my laptop with a 500GB HDD first by sheer luck. My Surface Pro and...

I'd have to agree with most of your opinions and observations on this phone. BLU seems to be onto something. Competition in the entry level is great for Windows Phone. Some people may not like Nokia/MS phones (not sure why but hey...) so it's nice to see a good alternative out there. EVEN BETTER...

It seems to mostly get 3G or H+. Since this is an unlocked device, the Signal verbiage is a tad different. I'm not sure if "3G" is the 24Mbps HSPA network or the old school 3G (I think it was AWS for T-Mobile). Truth is they're usually home on Wi-Fi, so as long as calling and texts are covered...

Ok. Looks like I've got good news to report. I HAD to call into Metro PCS' Phone Support and luckily, they got it all figured out. I'll try to detail this for any future instances. 1) Call their support number (888-8METRO8). Once the automated system starts blabbing, say "Switching My Phone."...

I wasn't able to call Blu in time, but I was able to call my local T-Mobile store. Of course, they're "an express corporate store" so they don't handle Metro PCS at this location. :asleep: Looks like I'm going to need to call Metro's Phone Support. If that doesn't work, then I'll have to call...

Sure! Care to share what you've tried so far? Might be able to figure it out without their involvement. I'm thinking I might call Blu Support (1 (877) 602 8762) if I get a free moment at work. Trying to make carrier involvement the last step.

Yeah, a Metro PCS store would be the obvious choice (pardon me for leaving this part out) but I have a T-Mobile Store practically in my backyard. The closest Metro store is about a half hour or more away (just moved to a new state, so I lost that convenience) and I can say my experiences at...

You purchased a carrier-branded variant of the Lumia 1320. Whenever you buy a carrier-branded device (hint, that little Cricket emblem on the front), you're getting the device, tailored to their specifications. The Bootup and Shutdown branding, as well as the Cricket pre-loaded apps are all a...

Just grabbed up two Blu Win HDs yesterday and I'm unable to get either phone to connect to the MetroPCS Network. I've swapped the Micro SIMs from the existing Lumia 521s over to the SIM 2 Slot on the Win HDs and they won't get reception (no bars, no calls, and no Internet when I turn the Wi-Fi...

Greatly appreciate the feedback. If T-Mobile or some retailer was running that $39 deal for Lumia 635, it would be an absolute no-brainer. I'd buy one for a neighbor even, at that price. I'm thinking that I might just take a trip to MS Store and have the family pick between the Lumia 635 and...

What's happening guys? I'm a huge tech nerd (work as a SysAdmin by trade) and huge Windows Phone advocate. I know my Windows Phone options very well but I'm stumped on making a shopping decision this Christmas. Right now, I've got the whole family on T-Mobile/MetroPCS on 3 Lumia 521s and I'm...
