Thoroughly disappointed with the Lumia 950 on ATT

[Nick Metro]

I've been generally happy with my 950 however the minor quirks have taken their toll. That along with the lack of banking/finance apps is killing me. Probably going to sell it, will keep my 830 though

I won't ever abandon Windows Phone on the strength of one phone not working out for me. But the other thing I don't do too much is early adopt. You hoped enough testing went into this device to make it ready for production. Makes sense that you would. But my question is, did you attempt to get a replacement before you started this post? Maybe you got a bad device.

No a lot of these issues are known to be fixed with newer firmware updates. Except AT&T doesn't seem to be giving those needed firmware updates to its users for some reason. In fact, MS isn't even giving them to unlocked unbranded phones. I still haven't received it in Canada. Although I did receive the first one at least which fixed a lot of issues.

I agree that 107 is an excellent build. I encourage you on AT&T to install the Insider Preview, and choose the Slow ring - get 107 installed. Once 107 is installed, do a hard rest (using the volume and power buttons). Once it's back up, leave the Insider Preview. Now you'll be on a decent build, and don't have to worry about new builds hitting your phone.

Or - you can stay in the Insider Preview, and choose the most safe option - Release Preview. It's the build of Windows that's about to be released to the public, so it's already gone through the Fast ring, and the Slow ring. You likely won't see show-stopping issues on that ring.

Terrible, terrible phone. Really just awful in every way...hardware...software...interface. Most of that is Windows 10 just being a buggy, laggy, mess with a wretched user interface that basically systematically undoes everything that was enjoyable about Windows Phone, but the all-around lousy build quality cannot be ignored, either.

Easily the worst phone I've ever owned. MS should be ashamed of themselves.

I just got the .107 update on ATT. I tweeted at ATT about lacking updates a few days ago, and they said they would 'look into immediately.' So I think my tweet caused them to push it through, of course (post hoc ergo propter hoc)!

Regardless, I have .107 now. Let's see if it improves the phones performance.

I guess the OP is talking about the ATT branded L950. I just received the L950 dual sim unlocked last week and activated it with ATT over the phone. Update .107 was readily available so I updated and hard reset the phone (fresh start). The OS has some quirks here and there, but nothing to be upset about. My only complain is battery life, but i hope that gets better within a week or two.
