wookieepelt posted:Something new is happening to my 1520. Randomly, my home screen will start scrolling around on its own, sometimes it launches an app, the screen becomes unresponsive, and the only way to stop it is to restart the phone. Good news is that the camera stop randomly launching. Is my phone broken? Do you have double tap to wake turned on? If I have it on my pin unlock registers multiple presses when I only press one. But I turn it off and it works just fine. Before that though I was having all of the issues you had and had to just get my phone replaced. But turning off double tap to see how that works plus the link someone posted above is worth a shot first.

Wiseblood posted:There's a rumor going around that they skipped calling it Windows 9 because there's a lot of bad code out there testing for an OS name starting with "Windows 9" and assuming 95/98. It's kind of weird they went with the name but really I don't think it matters. They can call it Windows 69 if they want. Who cares as long as it's good? It's just a name. Like the weird rear end people that lost their poo poo over XBMC changing the name to Kodi despite nothing else changing people literally were saying they're uninstalling it and never using it again or finding something else.

I hate having to fight to resume playing half the time after I pause it. I'm guess it's related to them not updating the app for the current resume function or whatever it's called.

loquacius posted:This works out well for enthusiasts ( In theory enthusiasts load it on their phones, love it, maybe help a few friends/family do the same. That becomes a big enough group that the OEM(s) ship a phone with it and people actually buy it. Long shot but it could work. I guess in a year we'll see if this is a "nice try" move or a genius move. This is very first world problem but I bought a 1520 at launch and haven't had a phone for more than a year since the HTC Touch Pro 2 whenever that was. Haven't used a non-Windows Phone since the Droid X I used for a few months before Windows Phone was released. I'm seriously considering grabbing a Note 4 to play with for a few months until (hopefully) they put out a 1520 replacement when Windows 10 is released. Or I could just not be an impatient rear end in a top hat.

RVProfootballer posted:Nah, it really won't work like that. Cyanogenmod is already in this position and is not a mainstream, non-nerd option, despite being available for tons and tons of phones. Adding in "you don't get Snapchat or Instagram videos (?) or the Google stuff you've been using for years" isn't going to make it any easier for MS. Chicken/egg situation. But at least they're trying something. I really don't know if anything other than extremely good luck can turn the app situation around. I hope I'm wrong though.

I like the direction it's going. The adjustable and moveable keyboard is cool but is unusable for me on the 1520. The gaps on the side keep accidentally getting hit and minimizing the keyboard. Cortana search is ugly as gently caress too. Other than that from what I saw it's mostly just finishing the job. A close all in multitasking would be nice though.

You guys, there are so many apps over here! Using a Note 4 for a bit now and love it but I do miss the gently caress out of my 1520. I just got tired of warranty replacements for the screen/random cortana/back button bullshit. But if they drop a solid phone around that size with Windows 10 I'll get it. There isn't really an app on here I couldn't live without. But I'm still holding out hope for a miracle and that Windows 10/Universal Apps take off. Long shot but I can dream.

I had to put it in the refrigerator for it to finish. Yeah I had to put my 1520 on a bag of frozen vegetables for it to finish the update. Otherwise it'd get stuck in the gear loop.

Pretty happy with Windows 10 on my 640. Only issues I've had is pinning the people tile makes the start screen take 20-30 minutes to load randomly and every time after a restart. Plus Groove won't download anything. But no deal breakers.

I'm definitely getting this unless Microsoft somehow fucks this up but I want the 950XL based on what we know and if that holds up I'm in. But I'm like you with Android. I didn't enjoy my Note 4 very much (since my 1520 died I couldn't go back so I bought a 640, that's how much I wanted to get away from Android) and if I have to leave Windows Phone as much as I hate to say this I'd have to go the iPhone route as well.

Combat Pretzel posted:Apparently W10M rolls out in December only. The usual premature load shooting as usual. The issues I have on my 640 are pretty minor bugs and I'd assume pretty easily fixed. 1) Couple times a week the tiles get stuck on "loading" and restarting brings them back. Some live tile notifications don't go away for a few hours and groove won't let me download music, only stream. Otherwise the performance is great and that's on a 640 and I've had very very few app crashes/lock ups. Probably less than I did on 8.x. So I can see this being ready by then.

sleepwalkers posted:So... The 950 and XL have CDMA radios for voice? AFAIK, WCDMA is not the same thing, so maybe I'm way off base, but I don't see anything in those tech specs that suggest those phones will work on anything other than LTE on Verizon. I'm seeing conflicting information which is loving stupid. I don't know why you wouldn't just have every radio in there, just say at the event "works on every carrier" and move on. Everyone is happy.

Interestingly, the "processing" delays seem all but gone in the latest versions of the Camera app. This is in contrast to some of the demos on the floor, which had older builds on them still. At least from what I saw, when this phone and the final release of the Camera app come out, the experience should be much better than it is now in the Insider preview. What I saw was very inspiring and gave me confidence that these will be great cameras.
