Yeah I've been really happy with the camera on the Icon. My only complaint with the Icon has been the low light photos. My 928 took amazing low light photos and the Icon didn't measure up as well. Guessing the larger aperture on the 928 is the reason for that.

Uh oh. My phone has rebooted at least four times today. Now, none of those times have been while I've actually been using it and everything comes back fine and it reboots quickly.......but wtf, did I get a dud? These updates were supposed to be monthly, I need it asap.

Back on my 830 as my daily driver. It's so much quicker getting in and out of text and whatapp compared to Android.

Another reboot. Hold Me.

And people wonder why there's no W10 thread. It will be created with the Surface Phone me thinks.
So supposedly the 650 was delayed further because of bugs. Also W10's release was delayed for older hardware because MS told OEM's "it's not ready" LOL yet you released it on the 950 and XL.

What the hell. Must be some app or something??
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
It stinks, but it's not catastrophic. Most of the time, I know it rebooted only because the lock screen asks for the pin after a reboot rather than Hello. I'm just worried that there is something wrong with my unit.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Nope. I'm thinking maybe I should be.
W10 is smooth as silk on my M8 with no issues. Which is strange.

It's pretty smooth on my 830 too but when I first installed it I did get the multiple random reset issue.
Surface Phone better be god tier.
It'll at least be god tier hardware wise. The OS... Who knows where it'll be by then.

I just posted and shit on the live tiles for Cortana and Calendar but now have to praise the updated live tile for Maps.
I'm close to getting off work and the tile changed and is mentioning traffic and alternate routes. Hmmm, I don't think it's dynamic like that but that tile did not look like that all day.

Anybody got an opinion on W10 on a 1520....I've been really hesitant about testing it out.

Phone randomly rebooting is not catastrophic for you? That would drive my day insane every time that I need to take a picture or text someone and it's rebooting.
NeOak

Nope. That is firmware. So you better get whatever W10 they get if you want that.
Battery life is shit. Think Android level.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
It has never rebooted in the middle of taking a picture or texting. Most of the time, the only reason I know it rebooted is because the lock screen tells me. The phone boots pretty quickly. Of course, now that I've said that, it'll probably reboot in the middle of something important.

Fine for me, everything's been working as you'd expect. UAP's that actually scale UI for that thing is nice.
Battery life is fine on mine, still some random bugs in apps (camera, Bluetooth sync) that causes a once in a while reboot. I get some touch screen issues every once and a while.
Used to happen to me with Lumia 920.
Try these steps:
reinsert the sim card.
Make sure your sim card is not using an adapter or trimmed.
replace your sim card.
check if it's rebooting when the cell signal is weak. if it is, then that's the culprit.
maybe the sd card is faulty?
Will it?
Will the screen go to shit? Twice?
Will the battery die after a week?
Will the speakers die?
All things I experienced with Surface hardware.
Pumped.

920 is known to have a weak sim tray that degrades after time.
Oh, Uber finally loaded up after numerous uninstalls and downloads.

Uber still won't load for me.
Also, gotta love companies that actually have a WP app and can't be bothered to put the logo next to the app store and google play logos.

Geez, the Band 2 thread has a 950 XL user who can't sync his Band 2. He went to an MS store to replace both and still got the same error. Geez, how embarrassing. This isn't Uber or Dominos Pizza, this is the Microsoft Health App, the Band 2, and a 950 XL.
On reddit, I found that 5ghz WiFi could also be the culprit.
In any case, hope you get it sorted.

Are they ever going to fix the "pin page to start" on edge so it shows a proper img from the page?
BeforeU
Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Is this a common issue? Really embarrassing nonetheless
He can't open the app which is really odd. Do not have that problem on my XL.

It's a sad place being in 3rd we're lucky to get any apps let alone any from Google as the Microsoft hate is strong over there

Any time I get the option to send a survey about battery life, I send 1 star and write "This is worse than 5.0 Lollipop"

Good times, remember when it got pulled and people believed it meant google was going to put a real app on the store?
And yet, the YouTube apps we have are better than anything Google has an any other platform.
antiquegamer

Well, couple months from now when they pull the app for whatever reasons, they would have to remove the logo so it's better just not to put Windows Store logo up.
In the meantime, they figure Windows Phone user will find them and Microsoft will do most of the advertising on Windows Phone page. Win-Win.
That's not new.
