Support NeoGAF

Android emulation seemed like a more realistic proposition than hoping that ios devs would recompile their apps and do work on them to get them up and running. Anything that requires work from devs is not going to fly.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I'm hoping the project hasn't gotten the axe entirely, just pushed back a ways to work out the kinks.

 

[giga]

Y'all should be happy about that. Those projects would single handedly kill whatever developer interest is left for true WP apps. Who the fuck wants ports?

I hate to tell you this but I think developer interest is already gone. And yes, at this point I'll take ports.

I've been a WP fan since day 1 but I think I'm bailing soon.

When people question whether devs will even have the interest to bother doing ports using tools that make that process much, much easier; people will will take what they can get.

Right now, the alternative is: nothing.

I bailed a month ago. Running a xiaomi mi4 (also for pissible wm10 port), but it's so much better than wm10 it's nuts. And the price? 220 dollar.

I don't miss wm10.

free continuum dock with purchase of the 950XL

That offer is for both phones, at least in Sweden, no matter where you buy it, just as long as it's before end of January.

Bit off-topic...

This GroupMe app sounded neat as a family chat thing. So I installed it, set it up. confirmed my phone number and a couple old chats from some girls popped up... Pics and all.. Definitely not mine.

Who should I contact/tweet at about this? Totally appalling and not okay.

It's been deleted now, and I will not ever use the service obviously.

How long have you had that phone number?

 

[joshschw]

How long have you had that phone number?

Couple years now. Rather irrelevant in any case.

So if I ever change numbers, whoever gets my old one should get all my chats as well?

It actually overlayed my name with her old profile picture.

I tweeted at them.

 

[juliushandle]

So who's buying a 950/XL this Friday? I took the day off for the LA Auto Show, I may swing by a Microsoft Store that day.

Getting a 950

Spoiler

for someone else to replace their 920.

 

[VanMardigan]

Is it going to be at at&t Friday? My mom needs a new phone.

Apparently so

 

[Heretic]

FRIDAY!?

Can't wait!

 

[joshschw]

Me too!

Come Friday we can complain full force about the bad apps because it will not be a 'preview' any more!

 

[Doffen]

I miss 6tag.

 

[joshschw]

I miss a functional Photos app

 

[hankster]

Can't they make it so we can turn off / block these effing app banners??? Damn it.

 

[Poindexter]

Any source on that Friday date? I need to get rid of my phone. I hate it!

Windows Central and The Verge

 

[juliushandle]

Black Friday is right around the corner though. I'd probably hold off until then. I'd hate to buy the new phone this week to find out a week after there's some kind of bundle promo with the Band 2 or something.

 

[Nero3000]

950/XL available for preorder at the carphone warehouse for some decent sim-free prices (no offers though).

Also mail app has been updated bringing back linked inboxes.

So I see. A tenner cheaper than Amazon. Price keeps on dropping.

Just looked on Vodaphone, EE and o2 and still no pre-order.

EE have no information at all!

edit: not a random moan, I smashed the screen on my Lumia 920 3 weeks ago and still using it. Is it worth getting it fixed or waiting? something similar with the wife only a 925. Its getting cold, we were wearing gloves! lol

Probably best to wait it out.

 

[Suerte]

Looks like Amazon UK has now dropped the prices by £10 to match CPW.

 

[megarockexe]

So, I shouldn't impulse-buy the 950 from AT&T this week, right? Maybe wait a week or two to see if no big apps are removed from the store?

Tomorrow

 

[hwalker84]

I'm waiting till February for the 950XL. They should be giving them away by then.

 

[PG2G]

Anyone else have the issue where the alarm..
doesn't make any noise?

That's what I'm wondering for the ones that are going to upgrade.

 

[megarockexe]

On 8.1? That was happening to me.

 

[Klocker]

On 8.1? That was happening to me.

Yea seems it needs a restart every dew days to keep it from happening

 

[Paganmoon]

Do you get other notification sounds? Have you forced updated to latest with the preview program?

 

[juliushandle]

Yup, on 8.1 individual days don't work but settings "weekdays" seem to be fine.

 

[PG2G]

On W10. Just created a new alarm and it worked. I'll just try recreating it (with default sound instead of custom)

 

[NeOak]

Microsoft Store says the XL is coming 11/25.

Contiuum dock offer seems to be tied to Lumia Offers app, a preinstalled app on the phone, that gives a code, with which you can order a Display Dock from Microsoft Store, for free.

At least, that's the offer for Europe, for Both the 950, and the 950 XL, offer supposedly stands until end of January.

[Steelyuhas]

Can we get 10586 please? And can my phone upgrade to it, not looking to reset again if I can help it.

 

[Poindexter]

Oh man. So the verge link says the surface 3 will also be $100 off. I might just do that. Oh god.

 

[Paganmoon]

Crossposting here so no one misses it:

Microsoft Sweden has this on their homepage:

http://www.microsoft.com/sv-se/mobile/microsoft-display-dock-offer/ claiming 950, 950 XL and 950 Dual-sim

Further more, the offer on the SE site states that this is no matter where you purchase it (not only from the MS store). Or at least, it's got 7 retailers listed on their site.

Though Microsoft UK has the following:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/mobile/microsoft-display-dock-offer/ Stating only the 950 XL


Would be strange if only Sweden got the offer for 950, but who knows, maybe we're no longer Tier 3!

Edit: after trying a few different locales:
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland all seem to state 950, 950 XL and 950 Dual-sim,

Germany, UK, Poland sites states only 950XL

Italy, Spain, Netherlands, France, Austria, Ireland - Page cannot be found (maybe different link there, or offer not available at all?)

Which version are you currently on? I was on the one from June and I had to reset to 8.1 to get it. It wasn't too bad of a process.

 

[juliushandle]

Oh man. So the verge link says the surface 3 will also be $100 off. I might just do that. Oh god.

Pretty good deal if it's the LTE version.

 

[NeOak]

Should be $200 off, that's the model with LTE.

What do you do if you want to get one from a store? I have some gift cards that I need to use.

 

[Steelyuhas]

The one before the current insider build, which we should be able to upgrade to, but my phone fails the upgrade.

I went from 8.1 to the build I'm one and it involved 2 resets and thinking I'd totally wrecked my phone at one point, so I'd like to avoid that process again if possible.

 

[maximum360]

Now the hard question. Black or white?
