Ask Me Anything: HP Elite x3 with Anniversary Update

[Corwin_Amber]

Do not see it here on the Fast Ring. Daniel, can you see it on the insider one?

Hello All. I am a novice. I have an hp elite x3 with probably the original firmware. Every time I go to settings/update/ search for update. All I receive is your phone is up to date. How do I go about getting the newest firmware. Can someone send me a link or step by step directions.

I have no solution but I was having that problem on my Windows 10 desktop (I'm on insider preview). I would do the steps to "fix" it, but every time I restarted my computer it would come back. I finally gave up and I'm now accessing my Yahoo account from a browser. I never set it up on my phone because it's not my primary email. I generally use it for game sites. I guess what I'm saying is that I think it's a problem in Outlook, not the phone.

Did it work at all? Sometimes after OS or app update it starts doing this, it happened to me with office365 and IMAP accounts and the only way to fix it was to remove the account and add it again.

Thanks for the help but it still not working ...so sad

Do you use two step authentication? In that case you may need to generate an app password for Outlook instead of using your standard password if Outlook does not ask for the code.

just ordered my X3, when i get it should i just do release preview or fast ring?

Depends on you.
Are you fault and / or bug tolerant? Do you submit feedback? Fast ring.
Do you use the leather case with the flap (crashes the phone for some on current fast ring release when using auto on and off when opening and closing) or do not like bugs? Release preview.

No offense whatsoever meant, but if you ask this question, maybe RP Ring is the right place

Fast Ring or get out!.

But you have to post a Ninja Cat picture for Dona.

Does the fingerprint reader on the x3 work, or is it something they are working on fixing.

The one I got had a fingerprint reader working out of the box. It got 1 MS cumulative update and 1 HP FW update since. After sorting out an SD problem it works pretty fine now, but I don't use it extensively.

So you have to solve that first, then do the same on the phone.

Looks like the X3 is the last in the line of powerful Windows powered mobiles. Is it worth buying the device when iOS and Android devices have more to offer?

Okay, to address the first claim - there's no evidence that the Elite x3 is 'the last in the line of powerful Windows powered mobiles." In fact, there's evidence that there will be future releases, specifically from Microsoft. It's the most powerful right now, so it'd be a good one to buy. Microsoft has insisted it's committed to supporting

Also, as far as 'more to offer' out of Android and iOS, that's obviously a claim of use. I'm a long time Android user who switched when the Lumia 950 was released, and I haven't been able to switch away, despite trying phones like the iPhone 7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and OnePlus 3. To me, I can't figure out why you'd use an iOS or Android device when Windows Phone has so much to offer. I love Continuum and the Microsoft camera app. I think the Windows UI is definitely the best, and remembering back to the early Windows Phones, it does save me time to look down and immediately see the information I need so I can put my phone away. It's something that drives me nuts about the other mobile OSs.

But, I also subscribe to Office 365. I have my TB of OneDrive space that I use to back up my photos (even on Android) and it's also where I store and edit my documents. I have the Lapdock, a Huawei travel dock, and the HP desk dock, too. And I think snapchat is lame.

But yeah, Microsoft doesn't offer less - it's just offering something different, which you'll find users here appreciate and openly advocate for. It's not without its challenges, but it's a good, growing system that is supported by one of the biggest companies in the world, and they say it's here to stay.

Edit: silly hyperlink to video tool. Totally interrupts the post. I fixed it, but where it says, "remembering back to the early Windows Phone," imagine this video hyperlinked: https://youtu.be/jdpQir1sqiQ

Re: HP Elite X3 Official US Price $699

Anyone know if the elite x3 is able to utilize the full 4gb of RAM on redstone? 1511 is still a 32bit build.

In a comment to an old question that we all know the answer to...why are the Idol 4s and Elite X3 both equipped with 4GB of RAM? Is it because it looks good on paper, is it in preparation for something, is it easier then making a 3.5GB soc? Just curious, if anyone is listening and wants to chime in...
