    Can you Hide skype information?

    I installed the new skype and edited his contact. The problem is that his old phone was not there to remove. So I have effectively added his correct number a second time to the contact on my phone. I just removed his contact from Skype and will add it again if I need to later. But it still...

    Can't connect my google account (contacts/gmail/...) to my Lumia 950 anymore.

    I'm having this problem too. This is just another way for Google to f**k with Win phone users. I hope this gets sorted out soon, as my email is completely unusable right now.

    Can you Hide skype information?

    I have a friend that has an old phone number on his Skype account. It just got me in trouble when I accidentally gave it out as a reference for a new job and someone who is not my friend picked up. I could pester him until he actually changes it. But it isn't likely to happen. I'd like to...

    [UP] Kickstand - How is it like?

    Mine moves a lot. I'd say an inch measured at the end of the kickstand. The hinges seem to be wearing out and allowing the slop. I thought they just came lose, but the "base" of the hinge doesn't move. I'm going to use my extended warranty on it when I come to the end of the 2 years.

    Just got quite screwed by the MS extended warranty.

    Sort of my thinking too. Any idea what a New M8 would sell for if I decide to switch to AT&T and buy a 950?

    Just got quite screwed by the MS extended warranty.

    They said there is no stock of Icons anymore so I would have to take a different model. For anyone else that stumbles across this, they replace your phone with the equivalent tier phone. I would have had a choice between the 950 and 950xl if there wasn't the issue with Verizon. This particular...

    Just got quite screwed by the MS extended warranty.

    Hey, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I can't find anywhere better. I purchased an Icon 8/14 when we switched to Verizon. I got the MS store to price match when Verizon was offering the phone for 1 cent. I added the extended warranty, as that was the main reason for the...

    How do I get better battery life ?

    I have been getting about 5-6 hours out of mine. I keep the screen at half brightness and am always running multiple apps and 2 active accounts. I'd rather be able to use it the way I would like for 6 hours than have to constantly be thinking about saving battery for 7.

    To stick or not to stick that is the question...

    I am in the "not stick" camp. I really hate how it looks like an afterthought. I wish they had made a spot under the kickstand on the left/volume side to add a loop for the pen. You could pull it out when it was needed, and push it away when it wasn't. My biggest thing is keeping it in a safe...

    Why can't I see videos embedded in article on my SP3?

    There is a very good chance that you need a new/full version of flash. The version it ships with worked sometimes for me with the built in IE. The quickest way to check, and make sure you get the right browser is to install Firefox and go to a page with flash. It should tell you you need to...

    SP3 pen opening one note in my bag

    This seems to be the only way to prevent it though it is less than ideal. I never know when I am going to get a phone call and need to quickly pull up my calendar, or access parent records to answer a question. I know startup is pretty fast, but not as fast as unlocking it to have everything...

    SP3 pen opening one note in my bag

    So work bought me a SP3 last weekend, after my suggestion of course. I tossed it in my school bag and put the pen my front pocket organizer. 3 hours later I get to work and realize the pen started onenote at some point and the SP2 had been sitting in my bag this whole time running, and blasting...

    Headset for making calls, not listening to music.

    Hi, I've looked through as many headphone related threads as I can stand right now. There are many good suggestions but most seem to focus on how things sound on your end. I'm looking for a set that has a particularly good mic, as I'll be using it a lot in the car for business calls. My main...

    Gestures Beta on 8.1 Developer Preview Icon

    Doesn't work on my Icon with DP. Just tested it after a normal shutdown and a soft reset.

    I really regret getting a windows phone.

    I hope you understand that this has nothing to do with MS or the OS. Google is afraid of WP, and pissed that MS makes more off Android than they do. Google products worked fine on WP7 until Google went out of their way to block them.
