- I went thru several 1520s at the end of my WM10 run. I had a white one, red one, yellow one. I loved that phone from the first time I saw it at an AT&T store!!

Yes are great for kids for all those reasons. Plus they still work very well for what Needs to be done on a phone. I know we all have Wants and perceived needs. Althoughfor the vast majority of people a phone is a convience device (facebook etc).
As title of thread says... I am sticking with it until the ship is sunk and buried in the ocean. No Google for me, a dumb phone will return if need be.- Share

- Pretty dumbed-down phones for me too w/o the essential apps I rely on. Never found the web browsing experience close to being acceptable neither and that in itself really cripples these devices as well. Make great conservation pieces though, or paperweights LOL.04-02-2020 08:49 PMLike 0

All our tastes and needs are different, which is how all these devices survive and thrive. I'm less phone-centric than most any WC subscriber, and thankful my 950 has been meeting nearly all of my smartphone needs since 20 Nov 2015. I have had two (actually now 3) angroid devices since last summer -two are loaded and ready to ride when the day comes. I use them occasionally for gasbuddy, and less-so for soundhound. Enjoy whatever devices you're fortunate to own.07-03-2020 08:01 AMLike 0 - I've decided to stand my ground and stick with a 1960s rotary phone. Don't need no fancy schmancy push button toy.

- I recall the day when MS bought Minecraft. Right at that moment... right there... they could have released media EXCLUSIVELY for Windows Mobile. An army of kids would have wanted the platform and, as usual, the adults would have followed as they do like to be 'cool'.
Oh well! It never happened.08-13-2020 04:34 AMLike 0 - I recall the day when MS bought Minecraft. Right at that moment... right there... they could have released media EXCLUSIVELY for Windows Mobile.

- Office is for grownups, I can see his rationale. I frankly have no idea what Minecraft is but if it's popular with the kids, then I would have to agree with @excalibur1814. I had never heard of TikTok until the Orange Cheetoh got his panties all bunched up so I'm not discounting the purchasing power of the youngsters. Well, their parents' power.
Since the change in leadership Microsoft has come roaring back in the enterprises and other industries. Our O365 support is now paying off. This is due to a complete reversal from Microsoft in being client platform agnostic.- Share

- The writing is on the wall. I received message from Cricket that if you swap a sim from a device that they deem does not support HD voice after 1-19-2021 and try to swap back it will not function. Cricket says no supported phones are cut off in February 2022. They say to use IMEI checker to check your phone. Guess what my ATT Lumia 950 comes up does not support HD voice! We all know it does unless ATT has done something different to change that? My mother on T-Mobile with her Alcatel Idol 4s Windows phone made the cut on 1-29-2021 as her phone is still working. I sure hope it continues until she no longer needs a cell phone, as I am not looking forward to getting her up to speed on I phone or android..

- Att website has a page of supported phones after February 2022. The Lumia 950 and 950XL are both on it. Why would Cricket be different? How do you tell if you are on a HD voice call with Cricket or ATT? My wife has a new LG Thin Q and it like our windows phones always show 4G when on a call then go back to LTE once off the call.05-10-2021 03:47 PMLike 0
- Need a little help/advice, please! my 950XL finally is showing its age...last week my start-up screen was lacking MOST of my apps, swipe left and my app list shows the same dwindled list! The MAIN PROBLEM is I can't access my Settings...the only way I can see contacts (or anything else) is to go through the Microsoft Store. Can anyone suggest a fix that will allow me to get back my settings app?
I have been shopping for phones and don't much like what I see...looking at just getting a Pixel 4a (suggestions welcome) and do all my heavy-hitting on the computer, but I really need to have access to my info on the 950xl again...does ANYONE out there have a fix/workaround?????
Thanks!05-12-2021 10:19 AMLike 0 - Sorry, the only help I can provide is that my 950XL is NOT having the problems you describe and functioning properly on TMo network primarily as a iheart radio and podcast player in my Durango via bluetooth. I do check email, navigation, browser, myradar, news and a few other apps that still work well. Logging into my work email via edge is painfully slow but still works in a bind. The large live tiles work great in car.

- Hate to say it, but you may need to do a hard reset. All of your contacts, calendar and outlook email is saved in cloud. They can be accessed through outlook.com. Settings app is part of the rom image and should be restored upon a hard reset. you should be able to restore apps from a backup during the hard reset procedure. If the hard reset does not work something is wrong in the internal image of phone.

- I'll will check, but I haven't installed apps or even bothered to check for updates on my 950xl for at least a year. Not sure the apps I use are still available on store. I should probably create a back-up just in case.

- If you mean a backup via the settings, pretty sure they don't back up apps that came from the store just the fact the app was installed. A restore gets the app from the store. If the app is no longer in the store, it won't be on the phone after the restore. So, anyone should make sure they won't be worse off after a restore than before.
