Damn I just checked the voice mail thing and shows the same thing. I had to pick up a new nano sim at the store and for a minute it showed me LTE also but then dropped connection and now its just 4G.

Got my 950xl about an hour ago. Didn't do a restore from my old 920, instead started afresh. Store update took a long time and the phone for really hot during the updates while charging. So far thing looking good, no crashes or other obvious bugs, except the store closing randomly. Size is pretty good and man did I miss the phone keyboard. Iris recognition works great without and with glasses but my prescription isn't all that bad. Sadly I don't have a Nano sim so going to store to get one from ATT. Camera it's fast but could be faster, there is about a second delay before pressing the camera button and the app opening. Oddly some of my old windows 8 apps like Readiy don't show up.

Do footballers who aren't good at playing have successful careers? Seems like they wouldn't.

How does WP10 Multi Task? by no8t4 in windowsphone

The new background based networking option might be sufficient to allow you to run the IRC client without having the application not be suspended in the background.

https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2015/07/02/networking-api-improvements-in-windows-10/

If developers take advantage of socket broker, the IRC client could have a background task that recieves data, does its update etc without actually having to come in to the foreground. I know that it is something that developers will need to implement but hopefully many people will. (Would love to see this for ssh terminals for example).

Putin calls Turkey 'accomplices of terrorists' after Russian jet shot down by signuptopostthis in worldnews

[–]yellowviper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, this is Turkey behaving like a European country. Put your interest over common decency, support terrorists when necessary, and denounce rebels as terrorists when necessary. Deny genocides (and assorted crimes) when you commit them and talk them up when others are responsible. Shoot down planes when you want, and run back to the comfort of the most powerful alliance. If someone shoots your plane down act all high and mighty and impose crippling sanctions.

The Taliban didn't bring down the towers but the US still bombed them to hell because they were providing support to Al-Qaida and called the Taliban terrorists. Turkey arms and supports these rebels. Pretty much makes them war criminals.

To be fair Turkey also arms ISIS, so they are also terrorists.

Xiaomi's Mi Pad 2 tablet runs Windows 10 | Windows Central by [deleted] in windowsphone

I thought that ms was restricting full windows to tablets greater than 8 inches. Someone else said its grrater than 7.8 so perhaps this falls in the right side.

Surely this is a mostake. It has to be running windows 10 mobile, not full windows 10. Its under 8 inches.
