Official .318 uplate breaks Continuum?

[Darkseider]

Updated to latest production .318 on my Lumia 950. Everything works fine except Continuum. MS dock sees phone, white status light and phone drops into continuum mode but no display. Tried multiple displays HDMI, display port and display port to VGA converter. Nothing coming up on screen. Any help appreciated.

Confirmed: Tested with another Lumia 950 running production release .242 and Continuum works just fine on the same dock with all of the displays.

Issue was resolved only after hard reset.

i did a hard reset after upgrading and restored backup (for another reason). had to run through the setup wizard to get continuum to work

it appears to be working fine again!

Why is a hard reset needed even on Production updates?! This is too frustrating.

Is there any other way than a hard reset?

I want to know this as well :/

 

[Darkseider]

Well looks like a hard reset isn't a permanent fix. Continuum has once again stopped working for no reason other than to stop working. It is most definitely an issue with the latest production OS. .242 does NOT have this problem.

hope next build fixes this !

Any fix yet?

Really disappointed in this. I was hoping to leave my laptop at home during or vacation. Come on Microsoft this is one of the reasons I finally upgraded from my L920 to the 950xl. I appreciate you giving me a free 950 but that doesn't make up for a main feature of your phones not functioning. Imagine if I was an enterprise user that had rolled these out to my entire company. I love Windows Phone but come on, get it together, this is not ok!

I assume you guys are using the continuum display dock (HD500), try switching the the usb c to c cable around. Like take the end that normally connects to the phone and put that in the dock, and the end that is plugged into the dock goes into your phone

I have had similar problems with usb a to a controller pcbs, and this how works(Depending on the console in use).

I'm using the wireless display adapter. Any ideas there?

 

[kkaykaykay]

Try a different display actually, or a different usb connector for the display adapter.

Try disconnecting the adapter from the phone (Like delete the adapter in the app) then add it back again

Or it could be firmware problem, I assume you have the latest updates on the thing. So see if its possible to reinstall updates on it. If not, resend to seller for replacement.


Other than that, I got nothing. I don't have the product myself, but that's what I would try

It's the Microsoft wireless display adapter, I'll give some of those ideas a shot and report back.

 

[kkaykaykay]

I was referring to the wireless one when writing haha. But yeah, try the first 2 and other ideas if anyway, then if all else fails send it back

Continuum works fine with my 950 on 318 and a screen beam mini 2.

Finally had some time to mess around with it. Removed it opened continuum repaired and we're all good. Swear I tried that before but always good to try a second time. Thank for the help.

Anyone try Continuum on the Icon yet?

The icon doesn't support continuum. You can try screen mirroring with a higher display scaling with universal apps and you might get something similar but not the true continuum experience.
