    Listening to and responding to texts whilst driving via Bluetooth

    I've read some articles on tech sites that Microsoft started a beta test in April 2018 for Cortana on Android to enable text over Bluetooth as it is on Windows Phone. Whatever happened to that? I cant find any follow up articles. I just switched to an S9 and am having withdrawals.

    HP repair on Verizon HP X3......

    Nothing personal but you sound wishy-washy and I'm sure the HP people picked up on it. If you want a refund, ask for a refund and stick to it. You keep giving them too many options and they keep dragging you along. Take the money and buy your own tablet or laptop if that's what you want...

    Andromeda Question

    Live tiles and customability are a big reason I love the W10M interface. Although I wouldn't mind something a bit different and more modern on an Andromeda device, but can't imagine it would be that much different.

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

    I'm still using my Elite X3. I don't use or need a bunch of apps, so for now it does what I need it to do. As long as Fitbit, Enpass and Untappd are available, I'm good to go. I just love the look and feel of the OS. Using and management is simple and I love the customization. I plan on keep...

    Cortana Selfies

    Watching TV the other night I saw an Android phone commercial (don't remember which one as I wasn't really paying too much attention at the time). In the commercial a person says, "hey Google, take a selfie". Another person says "Can it do that?". Then the phone assistant takes a selfie...

    New Forum Design: Official Feedback Thread

    I hate the article scrolling. I don't read every article so I don't need to see all articles at once. It makes it hard to determine when an article actually ends. If you happen to continue to scroll down to more articles it makes returning to the original a huge scrolling challenge. It requires...

    Did an update break my XBOX ONE?

    Well never mind. I figured it out. Apparently it helps to turn the console on and off by the console button once in awhile. That's all I had to do.

    Did an update break my XBOX ONE?

    I'm wondering if others are having the same issue as I am. When I'm playing a game and ready to quit and go back to the XBOX home screen, normally I would press the XBOX button and then A to get back. Recently though it no longer works and I am stuck in the game. The only way out is to long...

    Windows Tablet for Non-Techie

    Looks like it's too late for any advice in this thread for the OP but my Surface 3 is a great casual tablet, but with the added ability to get things done when needed.

    HP X3 Verizon issues

    My x3 for Verizon also has the HP start screen which is normal for an unlocked phone not bought through a carrier. That's a non-issue. My MMS APN was empty as well but still was able to send and receive texts. I filled in the info (APN = vzwinternet, IP Type = IPv4v6, MMSC URL =...

    MMS Image Compression Problem - Need Help

    Been using my new Verizon enabled HP Elite X3 for about two weeks now and am loving it. However, recently I received an image of a form with text on it via MMS and I can't read it at all. Zooming in doesn't help. Image was fine on my wife's phone so I know it's my phone with the issue. Didn't...

    HP Elite - Verizon - MS store

    Bought an Elite X3 last week and am excitedly waiting for it to arrive. Admittedly, I went back and forth about spending $599 for year-old hardware. But I'm sorta stuck on Verizon for now and I literally hate Google. I'm currently still using my 5 year old Nokia Lumia 822 that I basically got...

    Die hard windows fans

    Still happily using my L822 and will be until it dies or until Microsoft gets around to reinventing what a mobile device is. Had a good chuckle this morning with the iPhone X announcement. The newly touted features are basically from 2 year old Windows Phones.

    What is your 'other' browser?

    At home, Edge is my primary and Firefox is my backup. At work I still use Firefox as a backup but am still currently stuck with Windows 7, so IE 11 is my primary there.
