    Pictures + Videos Taken With My HP Elite X3

    Pic I took this morning around sunrise of my girlfriend's cactus plants. Surprised it turned it pretty well, considering the low light. Also should I save photos to local or SD? Taking HDR photos take about 1-2 seconds to capture and process. Just got the phone, loving it so far.

    Bought the X3 this week, replacing 950XL, and I love it!

    Hey same here! I was tired of carrying around 2-3 spare batteries with me every day with my Lumia 950XL. Loved it in every other way though, so this was a tough change for me. I originally switched to windows phone because of the amazing camera's, and I agree with you that the x3 is many steps...

    Lumia 950, Alcatel 4s and HP Elite X3, how's the Creators Update treating you?

    I worshiped my 950 since I got it couple years ago, ended up buying 2 extra models, one DS and one unbranded. It was great on creators update. But the 808 chip simply got the best of me. I've been using a 950XL daily for the past few weeks and the experience is so much better, believe it or not...

    New Surface pen worth it?

    Lost the pen to my two week old Surface Book Performance base.. I write a lot in my classes in OneNote, the latency was a major issue when I had my SP4, same with the SB. But the lack of a clip was the deal breaker. I went on eBay and got a new in box black SP4 pen for $45. Why Microsoft... I...

    My GOD! Has anyone ever successfully unlocked this phone?!

    Nope. I got one from T-Mobile when they went down to $288. I told them I intended to unlock to use on AT&T, they said it needed to be active on their network for 45 consecutive days. NONE of the paid unlocking sites I used to use on iPhones/Lumias/Androids work for this phone. Then AT&T decided...

    Qmadix Liquid Glass - Get Naked

    I highly recommend against any sort of "liquid screen protector". They do not protect anything, besides being an anti-fingerprint coating. Watch some of JerryRigEverything's videos on YouTube for the proper testing methodology. I have the same kit and my old Lumia 925 scratched at a level 5...

    Screen protector or not?

    Well I was going to post this on RumoredNow's review thread, but this thread is more recent. View album below. Fail "Glass" Screen Protector - Album on Imgur So I'm gonna have to call BS on the Qmadix and all other "liquid screen protectors." They do not protect the screen whatsoever. It...

    How's the Camera app?

    Like a legitimate five-second lag. The camera is straight up unusable, unless you miss the Sony Ericsson S710 days. Proshot helps, but is just too slow and quality doesn't improve much at all. Has anyone tried an iPhone camera, or Galaxy/OnePlus/LG/Any Higher-end android camera? Even my iPhone...

    Screen protector or not?

    Also to note, most Idol 4S glass protectors are designed for the android version which has a flatter screen. I own both variants and the dimensions and weight differ ever so slightly. The sides will not adhere. A razor wouldn't damage most unprotected phone screens anyways. Check out...

    Microsoft Wallet Tap to Pay?

    I actually went and got a BofA credit card just for use with Windows wallet. Like i don't have enough student debt already heh. I use tap to pay everytime if the merchant supports it, which is getting more prevalent everywhere. Works like a charm. I like the UI better than Apple Pay...

    Am I wasting my time?

    Fully agreed. I can't in good conscience recommend WP to most anymore, only to those who knows what they're getting into. Was an iPhone user from the 3G to my 6. Got an android to try out the OS and really couldn't get myself to like it. When the inevitable comes, back to iPhone it is for me...

    Screen protector or not?

    Been about a month since I applied it to my surface pro 4 and idol 4s. So yeah, I am starting to believe this is the real deal. Not a single scratch on my alcatel front or back, no fingerprints, but a whole lot more slippery especially on fabric. Probably won't survive a drop onto hard ground...

    Upgrading from Lumia 930 to Lumia 950: Is it worth it ?!

    Personally I love my 950, more so than my 950XL and Idol 4S. Perfect size, fast enough, replicable battery, and one of the best cameras I've used on a phone. I would get one, only if you are aware of the shortcomings of this OS :( Sent from mTalk

    Positive Windows phone news thread

    Just switched from att to t-mobile and used an iPhone 7 to activate. Even though the cellular speeds are so much faster, and i get features like VoLTE and wifi calling, I gave up after a few days. SIM right back into my 950. I just miss the start screen so much, more than I realized. Also the...

    What was the best Lumia of all time?

    925 because it was my first WP after years of iPhones. The design is still one of the best imo.
