    Microsoft Android Phone?

    There was another thread that was highlighted with basically the same question a month or so ago... Same answer. Frak, no

    Jason Ward uses Windows phone (for now) and asks why do you?

    Still rocking a 950XL. My wife is on her second 950 after the camera focus went haywire on her original. The battery life on my aging XL is not great, but with Qi wireless charging it is acceptable. I am a Lead Systems Engineer for a large Enterprise. I specialize in Microsoft platforms and...

    Miss W10M so much :(

    Can't miss what I never gave up... I have zero reasons to stop using my 950XL. Wife still uses her 950 too.

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    I am hanging on to my 950XL with a death grip until something better from MS comes along or this phone simply will not work. My wife's 950 recently broke, and I bought a new one off eBay rather than switch her. Professionally I am a lead systems engineer for a large enterprise. I specialize in...

    WiFi connections

    This was a problem for me on my Icon since WP8.1 (8.0 never had the issue) and continues though to the latest firmware+insider build combo on my 950XL. I believe that the Cisco APs that my work uses is more the issue than the phone, as I know some Android users with similar issues - but that...

    How is your experience with Hey Cortana?

    Hey Cortana works great for me most of the time when I need it - say - when driving and I want to make a quick call or send a txt. From time to time I need to do a soft reset for it to start listening again. My biggest issue is with the Xbox One - since the change from "Xbox" commands to "Hey...

    VoLTE on Unbranded Lumia 950XL DS

    While I lament the loss of functionality on my own 950XL on AT&T, I do not agree that it is odd or wrong of MS in any way to advertise functionality that the phone is perfectly capable of performing. I do however think that AT&T's policies towards BYOD leans towards the class action lawsuit side...

    950XL brightness stuck and slow wake up problem

    I have had the same set of issues on fast ring 14393.67. It happens to me sometimes twice a day, and then for no reason goes multiple days with no recurrence. One observation when it has happened is that the MSPU app is reported as consuming 24% battery vs its normal 4% battery. I have reported...

    Anyone having SIgnal Strength issues with Lumia 950 XL?

    I have noticed this as well (AT&T, NE Ohio, 950XL NAM Dual SIM). Sometime in the last few OS updates my signal strength is down 1-2 bars consistently. I have also had numerous dropped calls while driving home when I never used to (clear, sunny days so no weather related issues). Yesterday my...

    Wallet App for Loyalty Cards

    I have not converted from the free app "Barcode Wallet" to the new Wallet 2.0 for loyalty cards yet. Barcode Wallet does securely store the data as it is integrated into the MS Wallet and also lets you backup to Onedrive - no separate vendor account required.
