    Die hard windows fans

    I agree, I have my 950XL and have tried out both IOS with my wife's old Fruit 6 and a One Plus phone, currently on the fruit 6 to see if i can adjust to it. I still think that the WM10 is far better and way smoother to use, except that the apps were not updated regularly and important apps like...

    how to remove contacts from the speed dial page of the dialer?

    Thanks, it worked for me too. I guess i was long pressing and then not letting go waiting for the context menu. I use a 950XL with the latest 14393.321 release version.

    how to remove contacts from the speed dial page of the dialer?

    I was trying to remove a contact that I had added by mistake to the speed dial (star) tab of the phone dialer app. However, I am not able to find any way to do that.

    Any Android flagship to 950XL converts

    I have been using a windows phone from 7 onwards, I had a HTC Titan then moved to a 920 and then finally to a 950XL.

    950XL brightness stuck and slow wake up problem

    Interesting that several people seem to have the same issue. I also do not have any app to control the wall paper or lock screen, i use the standard "use a picture" option and nothing special.

    950XL brightness stuck and slow wake up problem

    looks like the .420 release only happened on the 15th of June, and i probably got it as an automatic update in the next week. And i remember seeing this issue only in the last few weeks. So its possible that the bug was introduced in the .420 release. The next release is already in preview and i...
