It gets a nice tile when you pin it, so I'm not as fussed about that loss as I thought I'd be.

Edit: Is there any way to delete words that you've added to auto-complete? I've managed to add a couple of odd words by accident and really want to be shot of them.

That being said, can I reinstall the default camera app? I think something got messed up. Some of the buttons randomly switched around and I got an error just now.

Did you uninstall it? If so and if you can't reinstall it from the app store, you may need to factort reset your phone.

No, there is no option to uninstall it I could find. I want to reset it.

Well this is horribly interesting, I've got two new Lumia 650's and I'm stumped about getting app store accounts for them.

We don't have any MDM so I got by through setting up individual Microsoft accounts to use for downloading apps on the store before, now however that plan is hosed because I get the following "You can’t sign up here with a work or school email address."

Happy loving days Microsoft no longer let's you use business addresses, probably because our domain is registered to our 365 tenant. What the dick am I meant to do? I'd rather not have to mess around making regular ol' Outlook.com addresses and using personal accounts is going to be out of the question.

EDIT: Angry outbursts always help the thinking process, I've actually discovered the Windows Mobile Business store which appears to hook into 365 logins so I can deploy apps that way.

Woo!

This was posted in the Windows 10 thread, and, well, :stare:

No mention of how it could apply to phones, but possibly something to keep an eye on?

Windows is platform agnostic, it will run on arm, or x86 without any code changes.
In fact, WP IS windows. Just with a different GUI on top of it.

Edit*

The emulation stuff is awesome though! I knew there were rumors but I am glad to see it in action.

Am I mental, or is there no way to clip from Edge to OneNote on mobile? Would that not have been better than a 'reading list'? Man, they really wasted a lot of effort on that third-rate mess of a browser.

I picked up a 950 on Swappa for 200$ I miss WP, and at 200$ I can't complain. Hopefully it's nice enough to keep using!

I'm afraid I betrayed the cause, and picked up a Oneplus 3T. I hope Windows Mobile actually has some developments soon though, it was nice while it lasted.

i only just discovered that the fm radio tuner app disappeared from my 930 when i upgraded to w10. which is unhelpful and annoying. any recommendations for a decent 3rd party substitute? while i clearly didn't use it all that often, having a tuner on me has come in useful a fair few times, and was one of the reasons i opted for a 930 in the first place.

I'm due for an upgrade on my contract in a couple of days. Had my Lumia 930 for 2 years, gonna get me a 950 and leave the 930 in the car as a GPS.

So far I am loving the 950.

Removable battery? Check
Expandable Storage? Check
Windows hello is pretty neat.
The Snapdragon 808 is still plenty fast.
3 gigs of ram.
Not huge like my Note5.
Still actively updated.


I really dig it.

My switch away from WP/WM was completely conditional, I still don't like Samsung or Apple and have very few other options on AT&T, and on the off-chance anything noteworthy actually happens I want to know about it

All the ones I looked at were terrible in comparison. I settled with 'Radio FM Phone', which has an atrocious interface but is tolerable since I only care about a few stations and I'm not going to pay for an FM radio app.

Before I finally gave up and went back to Fitbit I had to do the same, it was a smooth experience at least. Still miss the Band 2 though :(

It seems my 950 is running insider builds because I have a windows tablet that is in the slow ring and that apparently means my account always is running insider builds. How do I make it go back to normal release builds?

Edit: I tried a factory reset and it just resets the current OS version. I figured that would be the case, but I wanted to give it a shot anyway.

You can change that in Settings - Update & Security - Windows Insider Program. Just click Stop Insider Preview builds and you should be all set. No idea if this affects the tablet as well though, as far as I've noticed it's a per-device setting rather than an account setting.

Yes they are, same as my 640XL. You can choose between both for LTE/4G and both have working calls/sms.

Podcasts has a Windows 10 version now that syncs your library and timestamp between devices, so it's great if you have Windows 10 on desktop as well - only issue right now is that episodes are registered as songs rather than podcasts so you need to use the in-app forward/back controls rather than on the lock screen, but I'm sure that'll get patched.

Otherwise, Podcast+ Pro remains a favourite.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
I had my first encounter with a Windows phone out in the wild.

I was on a date with a girl and she went to show me something on her phone and to my surprise it's a Windows phone.

I asked her what she liked about it and where she brought it. She said her lovely ex gave it to her, but that she liked it well enough.
