[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] suicidal.banana:
I too, grew up using WM 2003 till 6.5.5, and eventually switched over too Android because that was the only acceptable option for me, ive been a avid HTC user since my very first smartphone, up untill now. Just now, i called my provider, and ordered a Lumia 950, it looks nice, software and hardware wise, and the software is getting up to par with what WM once was, and im really quite over Android, Android still has several things over W(P)10, but (in my opinion) Android has also somehow become synonym for mediocre, and HTC has really lost their edge, they used to release awesome devices that where 9 out of 10 times unique when compared to the competition and predecessor, but ever since the HTC One series started, it all looks the same, ive reached out to HTC serveral times about this in the past years (M7 beeing my last HTC, didnt really want that to begin with, and all after seem the same/boring) trying to get them to 'do a HD3', but they didn't change their ways, and eventually made a phone thats such a obvious iPhone ripoff im a bit ashamed to be sporting HTC these days, so ye, time for change.

What im most interested in (while fully aware of reviews that say its not working flawlessly/theres still loads of apps to be ported) is the continuum functionality, ever since using WM i felt like Microsoft wanted to make it all 1 ecosystem, and now, years later, they're actually going for that goal, even if it may not work out to be the next best thing, i still want to experience it first hand. Im not even sure i will keep using the 950, i may just want to go back to Android too badly, but the only way to know that properly is by walking around with a Windows Phone for at least a few weeks.

What im also interested in is Cortana, having tried Siri (horrible) and Google speech (not too shabby) im interested to see how Cortana holds up in daily use.

Finally, what seems to be the biggest hurdle for most people to switch to W(P)10 doesnt apply to me, i dont whatsapp, facebook, twitter, bank, order coffee, or any of those silly things, i use the phone primarily for calling texting and emailing, and secondarily for the occasional gaming when im on the go, all of which seems very possible on W(P)10.

I just hope it comes with bubble breaker :laugh: ;)

So I have the 950 xl and been a Windows phone and mobile user for years.

Unfortunately Chase bank decided to pull their app from the store earlier this year.

This sucks since I now am using more and more my bank account and to deposit checks from the phone rather than going in branch (especially since I don't reside in the US as much)

I am just wondering if anyone knows a way of porting over the app from droid to windows phone 10?

I am a developer but not done anything like this before nor dabbled much in UWP.

Thanks for any insight!!

Hi Guys,

Just got my Lumia 950XL after a LOOOOOOONG Android History since 2008 and HTC TYTN Pro was my last windows phone.

Phone is very responsive, looks sterdy and has a lot of juice, coming from Android (Samsung Note Series 1-5), certainly the hardware is nice but the software is WAAAAAAYYYYY BEHIND (either in OS or in applications on store)

It seems that Windows 10 is now the same as Android was back in 2010 when it was new and still no apps to run.

I hope third parties now invest in new software and major companies developmore apps to use.

after 12 hours of fidling, I am still not sure if I can rely on the 950XL as my main phone or remain with Note

Let me know your thoughts about software and how to get to test new ones.

Thanks for your support

Hi there,

Seems like we all have the same experience with Windows phones, we all quit a while back as windows was unable to cope with the development of Android.

I got my 950XL, after my current NOTE 3.

I use my note for almost everything in life: banking, movies, music, browsing, remote desktop, excel, travel, navigation, online orders, password keeping, messaging, facebook, readingm games, camera (especially spherical one), magnifying lens and much more.

I am eager to depend on my 950XL but after a quick fiddle, I still lack a lot of software to even match what I can do with the Android 5 on Note 3.

I will try my best to be active in here and report on my experience and findings.

Thanks and Best of luck

So coming from 6 years of Android, I'm finding it hard to switch to my new 950. I purchased it to test for work with Maas360. I'd really like to make this my daily driver but I'm in the same boat as others. For me, I would say about 75% of my apps work. However, without Google Hangouts, Google Photos, and GMail, its hard. I've tried adding my Gmail to Outlook, and it works, but I've gotten used to how GMail labels my emails (inbox, social, etc). I've tried using IM+ instead of Hangouts with some success. My complaint here is that the UI is horrible. With a windows OS, why can't it be damn good looking interface in the apps? I can manage with G-photos.

Maps....just suck. I can't see how when I run with the MS Maps and plot a destination, it doesn't "remind" me to turn when I get close to my turn.

Google really did a good job with Hangouts in my opinion. IM + SMS + Voicemail. Would like to see it on MS soon!

Welcome to the Windows Phone world...

Most of the issues you listed are what we've had to deal with for the last few years on both desktops and phones. And they all pretty much stem from Google refusing to release apps for the Windows Ecosystem. :(

Other wearables with notifications

Microsoft Band and Band 2 both receive notifications, calls alerts, email alerts with header info and allow SMS from the device. Works well with all phones, be it Android, Windows Phone/mobile or dare I say it, iOS.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] revision78:
The only thing I miss about Android is Hangouts for family. I switched to a Lumia 950 in December after being Android since early 2008. Now with a new vehicle that works with Android Auto and Apple Auto, kind of wish i was still Android, but it still works for everything I need. I prefer the tiles to a launcher personally but they need to get something done about bringing more apps in. The camera is fantastic, but AT&T holding back on firmwares has been frustrating to say the least. I'm going to continue pushing on with it, I just hope some more development swings this way.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] snatch_this:
After 4 months with Lumia 950 I am back to LG G4. I loved the Windows 10 phone experience. But simply the Google ecosystem is far superior to MS. The lack of apps kills it. And what is worse the ones that exist are neglected by the vendors and thus mostly of poor quality.

Hello! I`ve switched from android and now i use a new 950 for about 24 hours and, beeing noob, i have a few stupid questions... How do i save my new contacts on sim? Should i Interop unlock....? A valid solution to block ads without vpn...?

Most things seems easier on Android because the bigger community and "millions" of apps, some "hundreds of thousands" you would never need. Now 10 month on 950 xl still struggle with some functions but we come together me and my phone. ;) Since the last update or second last, waking up by tapping on screen are available now. Missed out this function when I switched over from HTC. Even so my Phone are now detected by USB on my Windows 10 PC.

I bought it together with the Band 2, it was a good decision. Have had some trouble with my Band but the MS Service are great for me.

It needs bit time but I think it's worth. :fingers-crossed:

Hi guys,

I saw a second-hand Lumia 950xl with the dock + mozo case + wireless charger for 230 euros.

The catch here is that there is a small crack on the screen.

Is that a good deal? The seller says that the phone's touch screen still works, but that I can't verify.

What do you think exchanging my own Nexus 5x 32gb with a Lumia 950 XL with all accessories(Continuum, wireless charge, mozo ecc)? I use Drive and Google photo, will WP destroy my daily use?

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] petvas:
It will not destroy it, but it will make some things more difficult. If you want to continue using Google Photos, then you would have to upload your pictures from a computer (AFAIK).

UPDATE: 20151015 testing package is out! Check it out for details.

Hello, I've updated the CM12.1 testing package and translated the release notes at my blog. Also took the time to support Disqus for the English blog posts... the release can be found here.

Also that I will stop regularly updating the port at October 20th, having to allocate much of my time to academic work. Security updates and minor bugfixes (as in not requiring massive porting) will continue as usual, however. Feel free to make ssuggestions!

(Note: I don't know how to patchrom so I can't do the Flyme camera app porting, or anything but the easiest features requiring porting of closed-source components, sorry about that but I'm primarily a Web/Android developer and as such don't have much time to learn about smali and the likes.)

[Meizu MX] artlov:
I'm not sure is it concern to this ROM, but I have strange issue.

Paired Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 with Meizu and battery of band drying within one day. When switch bluetooth on the phone off, then drying stops. Previously I have used the same band with Sony Xperia Z3 and battery lasts 4-5 days.

I can't imagine what wrong with Meizu and CM12. Factory reset of the band did not help. Bluetooth stack incompatibility? Wakelock detector shows big activity of com.android.bluetooth process.
[Meizu MX] 4ernyakov:
I have the same device and test it on CM12.1 No problem! 5-10 percent by day in paired mode. Do you use aditional widgets for SWR30 like Clocki?
[Meizu MX] artlov:
No, currently only default settings - default digital clock (with date) and activity monitor are in the use.

After full reinstall yesterday and freezing Lifelog, today battery is much better - from 7am to the 5pm battery have 80% juice remaining, but it still worse that was with Z3.

Hi xxxxen0n

I have a suggestion why some SIM Card not detected.

My Sim Serial number (IICID) = null, recognize a SIM card from IICID = 18 characters

I remember reading somewhere that google disabled some of the sim reading fuctions because of security issues.

And more likely to need to edit : android.telephony.TelephonyManager

My data worked on first boot (even 4G LTE!) but after a reboot it won't work again. :( And no amount of toggling Flight mode does the trick.

Nope on flame is 38,000 like this cyanogen rom. If you need more power, can go back to the Flyme.

Have you supported the developer? Or just pretend?

Supporting

I do Android porting mainly for personal use and fun, but as a matter of fact I sometimes find myself struggling to achieve the standards I strive for, as a graduate student still learning his way into the industry and having things to take care of besides coding.

Shut up you. The cyanogen have the same score of 4.2.8.2 a/i. The 4.1 take high score but talk about battery life? Brainwashed kiddo. Cry for an score, when this guy develop the best ROM for this smartphone (an dream for more people!). Pathetic. Return to flyme 4.1 if you want 50000 on Antutu. :good:

[Meizu MX] ouigo:
I agree on many points with you. But there is a problem out activation of the processor cores with some versions of Flyme and the CyanogenMod release. This is not necessarily a handicap because few applications are really using as many cores simultaneously. But it is a fact, and your video had to be recorded with early versions of Flyme 4.5.
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
It's a fact, absolutly. But this is a plus, he (if he want...) can investigate on activation in another moment.
[Meizu MX] ouigo:
Totally agree it's not a priority. Autonomy is also improved.

I do wonder why kingroot needs so many permissions though.

If you have recovery still ( I dount it) you can flash supersu zip.

No I haven't but thank you, how would I check if I have recovery still?

Thanks for the reply matt.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
So custom recovery I meant (like cmw, TWRP or philz) When your phone boots the led will light up a colour (green or purple or blue) before the boot animation (the waves). Then you can present a volume key or power key to boot into recovery. A little something something like https://youtu.be/0LIwOdd4Uck
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphempire:
Ok cool cheers Matt, do you have to install recovery separately from rooting it or does it automatically install once rooting your phone?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
Rooting usually only gives root but recovery is something that people usually install first to take nandroid backups and flash zips.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphempire:
Ok matt I'll give that down button a go but iam sure I didn't install it first time around. If I do have it I just use supersu from kingroot method?

Thanks for all your help and quick replies. Much appreciated ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0 Matt 0o:
Ok. Yea have a look at that thread that I linked. I've never used that method so I'm not sure if it'll work on you build but it's you best shot. It also installs kingroot i think instead of superuser or supersu so you might want to look at changing that after you have root, I'm sure someone would have said how to do it in the thread.

Also as an FYI there is a thanks button for people that helped you and don't forget to search there's a wealth of knowledge on xda.

Hi all,

I have just taken delivery of my X98 air 3g tablet and have setup the android side with my gmail account details, but there appears to be no way to enable syncing with my gmail contacts. In the account options it doesn't list contacts, and in the contact app I can only add two types of account, corporate or game centre account.

Can anybody please advise me if there is any way to access my gmail contacts on this tablet in android mode (I haven't even thought about syncing the windows 10 side yet :( ).

Many thanks for any advise

Google contacts sync works on Win 10

Hi Keith,

I also got my X98 air 3G this weekend and have the same problem on android. It was delivered with Android 5.0 Stock ROM (Build V2.01_20150720) and Win 10. But surprisingly on Win 10 I can have my Google contacts and calendar out of the box just by configuring my google account.

To solve the problem on Android my next approach would be to Flash Mirek ROM. Can anybody confirm, that it is possible to sync Google account with Mirek's ROM?

Thanks,

Extract your contacts from your Gmail in an .VCF format and send it with an email to your Tpad.

as soon as you get the email, double click the file and all your contacts will be downloaded to your Tpad.

you have to do this every time you make changes on your contact list on your phone for example and then to send them to your Tpad.
