Well, after 2+ years on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 (fast ring), I've decided enough is enough. Too many glitches and strange things with usage. I've moved on to Android...Galaxy S6. I can't believe what I've been missing. So many little things that make using a smartphone so much easier. I really...

my phone just picked up 10586.36 a few minutes ago. Have to see what's under the covers Microsoft releases Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.36 for Insiders ? WinBeta

Like you, I'm not ready to shell out $600 for the latest phone, tempting as it is. With the rumors of a Surface Phone coming out next quarter, I'll wait. That one looks intriguing. The Win10 build for ICON is finally stable in my usage, and I'll continue to use it for quite a while until the...

Last night, a new update to "Hey Cortana" became available. This finally fixed my ICON so I can train cortana. Previously, with other multiple updates to this Settings would allow me to start training Cortana, but the mic just wouldn't hear my voice. Even after multiple resets. This latest...

This is a problem that has plagued me with the ICON since I bought it over a year ago. It refuses to remember known WIFI connections and connect to them. I constantly have to power-off and then power-on between work and home. Whenever I arrive at work or home, it does not even see my known...

no sync issues yet. pictures on my Icon camera roll are synced pretty quickly up to my onedrive account.

Gracias for the sound advice hopmedic. I'm back on the good path

DId anyone else have issues like an endless cycle of downloading and preparing to install 10581, but it won't install? Error code 0x800070538 presented with a Retry button? I've tried soft-reset and hard-reset multiple times, but still stuck in the endless cycle. Currently on build 10572, NOKIA...

Here's some feedback from my Icon so far: Plex; intermittent flashes watching a video, any video like very 1-2 seconds you can see a frame flashed from the video and it appears to be upside-down. Outlook Mail; connecting to Gmail and trying to go into your drafts folder to bring up a draft...

I had similar problems, and after a hard reset most issues self-resolved. Hard-Reset Instructions...google it. I can't post a link due to I have less than 10 posts (newbie) it's a series of button presses that worked the first time I tried it. Battery life seems a bit marginal so far. I...

Figured it out. Factory reset the band, then it paired. Had to "add" a band in the Microsoft Health app But still no success...always get the "Oops...an unknown error occurred with your band."

So what's the trick to get my first generation Microsoft Band to connect with BlueTooth? Pairing always fails. It can see it, but refuses to pair with it.

Thanks! Hard Reset did the trick, and restored my Win10 saved settings. Gonna suck getting that Verizon Bill late next month though. i've used 75% of my 3gb family shared load and my turnover is the 26th each month. rats. oh well, I'm really liking the win10 so far..

I deployed the fast-track W10 on my ICON today. But, no Wi-Fi. Is this normal? I get the message: "Can't do this right now. Try again in a litlle while..." Is there a workaround? I've approached my limit on cell downloads with all the updates that came after the first one.

Confirmed on my Icon as well, an extremely annoying bug. Whenever I arrive at a location that I've previously connected to (i.e. Work, Home, Coffee shop), my wi-fi will not recognize it as a previously authorized connection point. Furthermore, the known wi-fi connections points won't show up in...
