I want a toke of whatever the people more than happy with the current 10 mobile build are smoking. I'm not being harsh, it's not good, but at this stage it's not really supposed to be.
Same, a few bugs here and there but definitely worthy as an everyday driver for my uses. I hope the next build doesn't break what's working so far.

Windows 8 releases in the state we all know it was.
Tom Warren at the Verge gives it an 8.8 score.

You can't explain that.

Not sure if the messaging app was updated, but I can now send and receive pics through sms messenger now. That was driving me crazy.

I installed windows 10 on my phone because I'm an idiot. Now the glance screen updated and became incompatible or something? Glance still works but I can't find the settings anywhere. Anyone know what's up? [edit] got to the glance settings menu with the sysapp pusher app

Expecting The Verge review scores to make sense is a futile thing. His video review sounded very positive. The only issue really that he made note of was Edge and the odd bug here and there.
Quoting self hoping for assistance plz?
There's a petition to get Fallout Shelter on WP if anyone cares to sign it.

There is a Lumia recovery tool that should allow you to roll back to 8.1:

At least the app is moderately tolerable now that images and Vines are displayed in the feed. That's about all it has going for it.
Didn't MS tout Twitter as being one of the developers who was getting in to 10 early? If so, ouch.

So much has changed in 3 years. When the Windows 8 review hit the score meant something something to me, in a very small way but still.
not really. Been using it for over two weeks now. I was actually surprised at how usable it is.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I never understood why you need an app for Twitter. Just go to twitter. (if you are on a PC)

new Moto X Style is only $399. 21mp cam and front facing flash. Gets fast updates too. My new car will have Android Play and that feature will heavily influence my decision in the next few months.

That's the Pure Edition in the US. $399, unlocked for all carriers (incl. Verizon and Sprint), stock Android.

Oh right... :/
That one will probably get updates quick if they handle it like a GPE device.
The other Motorola devices apparently have no advantage of being near stock.

Im on T-Mobile and I'm kind of want the 1520......well I actually just want a new phone and I've tried and android and apple. Do yout guys have any recommendations?
Lol didn't even notice that. Seems pointless after seeing that now.
How big is the sensor?

Isn't the issue that Tmobile uses different LTE bands than AT&T so you need to find a phone that supports those bands?
Looking at the Tmobile website, I think the best phone you can get is the 640 which is a pretty good budget phone. If you want a better phone, I think you will have to wait until new phones come out in the fall.

10 isn't ready yet for phone. It's October.

And then you add the Carrier factor. Probably by the end of the year on current phones.
If you want it earlier, you need to buy a new phone.

has calmed down a bit.
Xbox music app got the brand change to groove music on Android. Nothing else seems to have changed, although my music actually loads and plays now, which is always a plus for a music app.

You can download the W10 preview using the windows insider app, which should continue gaining stability through release.
Probably. Who knows though.
Wow, I got so excited when I saw Groove Music on the Play Store. I was like, "hey maybe they actually made it competent since it had to have been a big update:. NOPE. Literally just a color swap from green/white to blue/black and a new logo when it loads up. Is the app this bad on iOS too?
God damn. Why doesn't MS make their android app decent? It is so featureless, you can't fast forward through songs (only skip to the next song), no music exploration beyond a small "recommended artist stations" section (that is literally just a single row with artist names), and worse selection (a bunch of artists aren't there and albums that previously worked via streaming now are unavailable and need to be purchased). Since the move to Android I've merely tolerated it since I have all my collection on it, but damn. Can't wait to move to Google Play Music or Spotify once my yearly pass is up. Tried GPM's free trial a few months back and it blew my mind. Infinitely better than what MS is offering, android wise.

Yup.
But I can dock it as a mini player like the good old Zune and WMP.
Plus lots of albums that I couldn't purchase show up correctly now. I like it but I need sort by folders plus repeat one track only and it will be my choice for offline desktop music.
No. You can use the 1520 from ATT with tmobile and still get LTE. I know because prior to getting my 1520.3, I did just that.

I know, but supposed that not everyone wants to risk their phone to become even a little unstable.
I wouldn't have noticed at first glance, but that's right. It is not centered. I don't know if I should be surprised.
