I haven't had any issues with my Band 2 other than notifications being silenced, but that's a Microsoft problem across all Windows phones, not just this one.

The fingerprint scanner or Windows hello has caused the phone to lock up and reboot 3 times so far. I'd be willing to bet It's a Windows 10 mobile issues instead of an issues with the phone though. Most of my issues are Windows 10 related actually...
I fixed my Band 2 issues. This phone is terrific. I really love the size, it's a great upgrade over the L640. Again, my only wish is that they made the camera button a double press to engage, that way you aren't accidentally launching the camera when you don't want to.
I hope this phone get's consistent firmware updates like the HP Elite X3. I think the camera in general is the weakest part of the phone-- But I think it's a software issue, similar to what the HP phone had to deal with upon initial release. I see the camera and video adjust brightness even when shooting the same image, causing the screen to go dark, light, dark. Very inconsistent. Hopefully this will get addressed soon.

I'm constantly losing data connection. Need to either have it search networks and then reselect T-Mo or restart the phone every couple of hours. I have figured out that my phone probably has a radio defect.
Other than that... love it. Though I miss wireless charging.

I got the T-Mobile Idol 4S a few days ago and the first couple days had charging issues. Using the OEM cable and wall charger plugged into a power strip the 'slow USB charging' notification appeared and the after a while charging would stop (ie, light goes out, no charging symbol). If I unplugged then replugged the phone in again charging would resume, but stop again later. Other than the notice and interruptions, charging and discharging seemed normal.
Now I have the OEM charger and cable plugged directly into the wall and still occasionally get the slow notice, but so far charging has been continuous. Even with the notice charging seems fast. I've ordered a second wall charger to see if that's the problem.
As an aside, before really setting up the phone I did the latest update (to .448), did a factory reset, then set it up fresh instead of using an existing backup.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I also wonder if it's not the charger, does the phone battery management software learn or fix itself?

Now that I remember mine said the same the day I first got it. But hasn't since then.
Off topic: I regret not getting a case. Worked on my car with this phone, set it down on asphalt, blemishes around the metal corners. :[

Glove mode is very sensitive. You can hover your finger over a tile and it'll launch. I've disabled it because let's face it, I'm not wearing gloves for the 50 degree Miami winters.

Windows 10 doesn't officially support SIM hot swapping. Some features may or may not be enabled when doing so, such as VoLTE.
