I wouldn't change Microsoft for a company that constantly denies successful software and hardware to sell their expensive stuff. I prefer to keep my existing Microsoft phone which after 2 years works perfectly and is better and flawless than ever with the latest version of W10M. Keep in mind...

Edge is my preferred browser. It's reliable now and at last I feel safe to uninstall chrome which always was a backup option. Though I agree with people having syncing issues between desktop and mobile version. I'm sure this is the next thing they're going to fix.

I have a Lumia 640 because I was too stupid not to go for 640XL. The question is what this wonderful phone can NOT do. More than 2 years after it was released, only 1GB of memory and the damn thing runs the latest W10M build more fluently than W8 when it was purchased. Also some problems that...

Wow your reply should be pinned in windows central's first page! I totally agree with your view. Also I believe that what Microsoft is doing right now is the most revolutionary movement of the last 15 years at least. Even if some companies withdraw their apps from Windows store or if people...

Hi! Before the last WC update, one could track the replies to a post after logging in and pressing the upper left button. Do you know if there's a way to do the same on the new layout? (If you don't want to be notified by e-mail)

Unfortunately the problem is still there but not always. I think it depends on how many tasks were running before launching maps. So after restarting the device, audio navigation works as it should. Really annoying though. This feature is so important, every other task should be killed and keep...

OK. Looks like I found the source of the problem. It's the file system. I changed it from exFAT to NTFS and now the tiles are correct.

Thanks for your reply. You're right about slow reading. This is a reasonable explanation. I also suspect a fake or faulty card. I'll try another one and see what happens. (It looks genuine compared with some pictures of fakes I found on the net but who knows)

I have a 2 in 1 Hewlet packard laptop/tablet and now has the latest version of Windows 10. From the beggining every app installed on the SD card always had a blank tile with a random color and in many cases not even a title inside. After some feedback posts and research I realized not many...

At first I thought it was a memory issue for older phones like mine with only 1GB but then your 950XL shouldn't have a problem. So it's clearly a bug. I hope they are going to fix it on the next update.

Used to work OK on lumia 640 before the last update. This is a disaster especially for people that only need audio instructions. Forces us to always keep screen on draining battery. For example when walking and need navigation through headphones, this makes the app completely useless.

I guess it depends on the hardware. It's funny but that's why I left android for W10M. I used to have a Nexus4 which was a beast back then. Really fast and fluid (and it still is) but it was the most unreliable phone I ever had. 3 times sent to service because of unresponsive touch screen...

That's the exact reason why I hesitate with 950. I tried a demo device and it wasn't as snappy as I was expecting to be. Then again, maybe future windows or app updates will eliminate slow loading screens. Assuming of course that besides the slow launching, app performance and multitasking will...

Reading all those things about Windows on ARM, cloud version of W10 and the generic idea of Microsoft replacing Windows 10 mobile for something else I was wondering if it's right to buy Lumia 950XL to change my (beloved) Lumia 640. I know we have to wait for a long time to see new windows phones...

Glad to hear that maps on 950XL at least try to indicate where you're facing at, even if it's not very accurate. I was planning to buy this phone. My 640 also has an arrow supposed to show your direction but it won't refresh unless you walk for 50m
