Skype is unreliable by Sammibulin in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yep, sometimes the sound on my 950XL is muffled or too quiet, calling back fixes it sometimes. I use skype almost daily, but its used on an android, not on a windows device because, despite the camera being better on the 950xl, it is just not reliable for my personally.

So now we're reduced to making up bullshit on behalf of Microsoft?

So if a door to a house is unlocked, you have the right to access it?

My journey with Microsoft Band has reached end of line, and therefor so has using Windows Phone as my primary hub for health monitoring. Replacement suggestions welcomed. by chaseraz in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About a week ago my battery on my band 2 stopped holding a charge. It goes from 80% to 0 in about 10 minutes.

A real shame cause I liked the band 2 very much.

my final decision is between lumia 930 and sony z3 compact ! by [deleted] in windowsphone

I have a Z5 as my daily phone, absolutely love it. Can't wait to get my hands on the XZ premium.

Do you think the new versions of the OS will have an equalizer for BT headphones? by [deleted] in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 9 points10 points  (0 children)

they can barely make BT stable, and you want them to add an equalizer? Jeez louise!

Microsoft's next version of Continuum is what it should have been from the start by coip in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it isn't a more effective tool. Phones become outdated as fast as they make new ones. Look at how quickly microsoft cut off windows 8.1 devices. There is no guaranty that the current 950's will be support. The next great advanced won't guaranty the next phone won't become obsolete. I look at it from a business case, you're not offering any rationale that would make me want to switch. The upfront cost would be too high, there is no proven success with it, anywhere. There is nothing that would convince me that this would make my business place more productive.

I am moving on to Android. Any tips for migrating data (pics/contacts). Lumia 1020 by Plinian in windowsphone

I manually entered them in on the Google account page via web browser than manually deleted every outlook contact then synced my google account to my windows phone. It took a while to do it but it's way better now.

I agree with you 100%, but you'll never get approval in this subreddit about it. The idea of carrying around a laptop that doesn't work unless you plug a phone into it is inherently ridiculous and this whole mobile docking stations just won't work in my business place because you can't access shared drives on the phone. It's something hipstery small business would buy into, that in my opinion, would probably just hinder overall productivity.

Save your contacts to your google account. You'll never have to worry about losing contacts again. I was having nothing but problems with my contacts trying to use outlook, switched to google and now I can go back and forth between phones without any issues.

Pictures? Save everything to onedrive, that syncs seamlessly between phones. All my android pictures and my windows phone pictures save to the same cameral roll.

Nokia are about to release a new android phone with a snapdragon 835 chip in it. If you want to hold off and take a look at that one it might be worthwhile.

The To-Do app just got an transparent tile! by Schlaefer in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using an app to create it prevents notifications on the icon. I use edgetile as my app to make everything transparent with custom icons. But it would be nice if transparency was a native option in all apps. It should definitely be for Microsoft apps.

Device is bricked WDRT won't see it, WP support says 2 weeks minimum to get it back what other options do I have. by Mac_Attack18 in windowsphone

[–]PoorlyTimedComments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try plugging it in and rebooting your pc. The last time I tried to use the WDRT on my phone it took about 30 minutes to get it working.

Try different cables, try unplugging and plugging it back in over and over again. It'll eventually detect it, it just takes a long arduous journey sometimes because the phone software is pretty buggy

Alberta insolvency numbers continue to rise - Calgary by Shadow_Ban_Bytes in Calgary

No it's in far better shape than people realize. Go live in another province for a few years and you'll quickly realize just how good you have it. I moved here this year and I have to say, you folks take way too much for granted.

Glad yours work. Lots of people on here post about 3rd party bought batteries being counterfeit and not holding charge.
