identity49 posted:I updated my Lumia Icon to WP10, seems pretty alright except now I can't browse my music files through my car's (Mazda) infotainment system. There has to be a way to fix this, right? My googling hasn't turned up anything yet. That's a Bluetooth profile thing I think . Did you re-pair it to the car or is it still using the old pairing? You might also try re-pairing it with the Bluetooth advanced checkbox toggled to see if that helps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles#Audio.2FVideo_Remote_Control_Profile_.28AVRCP.29 this might be the one. Perhaps in upgrading they took a step back in terms of profiles, but I'm told the last few builds that are supposed to be released soon are supposed to have more Bluetooth profile support. http://mspoweruser.com/windows-10-mobile-anniversary-update-will-upgrade-bluetooth-stack/ OldPueblo fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jul 22, 2016 |

I just updated my 1520 to WP10. A lot of my pins are now busted so fixing those. I used to pin webpages to my start screen and it would show a little thumbnail of the webpage. Has that thumbnail rendering been done away with?

What's the current favoured podcasting app for WP10? I've been using Podcast Lounge, but that doesn't synch reliably or download files for offline play without being prompted and babysat. Just bought Podcast+ Pro off the store, but that seemingly won't even install - not sure if that's the app or the shittiness of the Windows app store. Any good alternatives?

Podcast+ Pro is great, but I'm not sure why it isn't installing for you. Amazon still creates a proper website tile and Steam still creates a live tile, some seem to be broken though and I'm not sure why.

I'm guessing it's a store issue on the grounds that a) other people seem to be able to use the app, and b) the store is just catastrophically loving awful in every imaginable respect. I'll keep trying with it.

I tried a bunch of them but ultimately settled on the built-in Podcasts app. It worked for a bunch of podcasts the others didn't, and had the least cluttered UI.

I also second the in-built Podcasts app, I've never had a problem with it, even with some obscure podcasts.

I'm having trouble with Cortana not working with Groove very well on WP10. With my old WP8 phone I used to be able to say "play [artist]/[album]/[song]" and it would start playing that, now it just does a search for whatever I ask for. I've seen a few other people get this but I can't seem to find a fix. Anyone else have this problem?

Random update: Messenger is slow as poo poo on stock W10M (640), can't pin Twitter or Messenger to my lock screen. I'm basically waiting to jump ship to an iPhone as soon as I can convince myself that paying that much for a phone is okay. My last three phones were: Focus, 920, and 640. All but the 640 were paid for by someone else, and that only cost $80. W10M has just been one frustrating thing after another, and now that I don't even own an MS Band, I have zero reason to stick with this ecosystem

Current fast ring builds run as smooth as butter on the 640, so you might want to give them a go if you're sick of the current release.

Facebook Messenger is built using some Facebook-internal cross-platform layer though, derived from the iOS version of the app. It is not smooth even on the 950 so I doubt it'll ever get really pleasing on a 640. Sad times, but oh well.

Have you thought about trying an entry level or midrange Android phone? iPhones are nice devices but very expensive; some affordable Android devices are surprisingly decent and the app ecosystem is tremendous, especially coming from Windows Phone/10 Mobile. I used Windows Phone for 2.5 years, from January 2012 to July 2014. I had WP 7.5 on the Nokia Lumia 800, and 8/8.1 on an HTC 8X. Though I loved the OS itself to begin with, I gradually because more frustrated with the app ecosystem debacle and the glacial pace of the OS development. Seeing others using Google Now or knowing how easily they expected most apps to be available wore me down. I eventually got a Moto G 1st gen for about £100 and never looked back. A lot of people rave about live tiles but they pale in comparison to widgets. The performance was far and above the price point had any right to provide. I stopped wondering when apps would be available or what third party apps were reasonable substitutes. I was getting feature parity with friends that I hadn't had in years. Since then I've had a Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, and am now on a Samsung Galaxy S7. All these devices have been far superior to the Windows devices. I find iOS quite boring and Apple's hardware much too expensive, but if you want to leave Windows Mobile behind, there are a lot of options that won't cost you two mortgage payments.

New W10M funtimes: I got an notification from my phone that I was near my monthly data limit. Which considering it's 23 GB, is amazing since it's only just halfway through the billing cycle. W10M thought I'd managed to use 20 GB of data in about 17 days, give or take. Took it into an ATT store and was told I'd actually used about 7 GB. Good job, data sense!

I had the same problem on 8.1, my phone used to think I'd gone through my limit when I know I hadn't as I had no warning texts and I double-checked in the store. Turned it off after that.

Clears up the sticky lag you get from pulling down the notifications/quick actions area and makes everything snappier. Probably helps with battery life too. It made W10 Mobile feel like 8.1; the difference was night and day after living with the update for two weeks.

So for anyone that desperately wants to play Pokemon Go on Windows 10 Mobile, here's a really complicated way (more so if you don't have an iOS or Android device to initially set up the game) to get a third-party, open-source app installed and running. http://www.windowscentral.com/pokemon-go-windows-10-mobile-right-now Obviously it's rough around the edges as it's a beta but this is actually pretty cool. I wonder how long it'll last before Niantic tries to shut it down. EDIT: Well that sadly lasted about as long as I expected. http://www.windowscentral.com/pogo-uwp-beta-does-not-currently-work-due-api-changes-niantic Edward IV fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Aug 6, 2016 |

It's basically down to WP or iOS for me. Android wouldn't be too bad in that respect if you confined yourself to nexus phones. The store still has huge issues with malware/shitware though, since they don't have actual people reviewing each app before it goes up. Apple also enforces quality standards in its apps.

So I'm going ahead and switching from the TMob Goon Plan for something with more minutes. There is a complication. Dual SIM 950: SUMMARY: Work SIM: TMob business, set as my data SIM, plenty data; Personal SIM: currently on Goon Plan, completely broken for MMSes despite the usual fast.t-mobile settings, switching to unlimited talk/txt only as I don't use it for data and could do with more than 100 minutes. QUESTIONS: 1. if I select a no-data plan for my personal ($25 unlimited talk/txt w/ TMob), will I still get MMSes on my personal SIM? 2. I'm on a Dual SIM 950 which is inconsistent with MMSes on my personal line at the best of times despite messing around with APN settings. (My previous 640 was better but needed active clicking on "Download Message" to get MMSes, including images and groups. The 950 does nothing on clicking "Download Message"). Is anyone else on a dual SIM 950 with MMS issues on the non-data SIM?

Right now I have a Lumia 635 (512 mb ram) and have been considering about upgrading to a Lumia 640 - or any phone that will support Windows 10, really. But I'm not really getting the impression that Windows mobile is going to survive the next year. Am I wrong, or should I just throw my hands up and go to Android/iPhone? If I do stick with Windows phone, is the 640 a good choice or should is there another phone out there that's as good/better?

Windows 10 Mobile isn't going to die in the next year, so I wouldn't worry there. The 640 is your best bet if you're in the US, but if you're in the UK then the 650 is now £10 cheaper than the 640, and will probably be my next phone if no better option in that price range presents itself.

Mr Funkface posted:So I'm going ahead and switching from the TMob Goon Plan for something with more minutes. There is a complication. Dual SIM 950: I had MMS problems on my 950 on Tmo. I restored a win8 backup to it. When I added the APN settings, I was able to get MMS to work, but only on 4g, not on LTE. The good news is that if I then deleted the MMS APN settings that I added, that seemed to clear out whatever garbage got restored from win8 and everything works fine now. The main things that still bug me right now are 1. You can't pin multiple locations from the weather app to the home screen 2. When I get a calendar invitation in my email (happens all the time), it doesn't show my calendar and any conflicts inline in the message. I have to click "view calendar" and it switches apps. MS is sure great about taking dumb steps back with every new OS revision.

Okay, good to know that Windows mobile is not currently on its deathbed. I think I'll get the 640 - but where should I buy it? All the microsoft store seems to have is the XL version. Amazon has an unlocked 640 for ~$84, is that a good price?

My mom has a 950 and is sick of the poor quality apps. She's thinking about switching to ios because my sister, her husband and my wife all have and love the iPhone. At one point my whole family was using Windows 8.1 devices. It's really hard to feel like the platform isn't on its deathbed. I get that Microsoft is playing the long game by focusing on enterprise, but they need to figure this poo poo out because I'm not looking forward to using an Android or iPhone.

Well, upgrading my Lumia Icon to WP10 has killed any love I had for Windows Phone. I can no longer: A) conveniently listen to music in my car via Bluetooth B) scan QR codes (without downloading garbage/paid third party apps) C) send/receive picture messages D) send/receive group texts E) take photos without a 5+ second delay from pressing the button F) pin photos app to start screen G) stay under 3gb/mo with same usage habits that incurred <2gb/mo using WP 8.1 H) go more than 6 hours without having to charge the phone's battery I) differentiate between notification types when in vibrate mode I'm sure the list would just get longer with time, were I willing to keep using the phone. It was a good run.
