Have you tried a hard reset yet?

Man the Lumia 950 will not go down in price. Been waiting for that price drop since launch and it hasn't happened.
Come on Microsoft, fire sale these babies.

Some pictures of a canceled Lumia (650 or 850 or whatever).
Still looks more premium than the flagships.
Snapdragon 617
2 GB RAM
1080p panel
I guess no one wanted that, so they canceled it.
Better looking than the 950.
That's how lame things are.

It works now. Had to delete the bt profile and start over. Hard reset avoided, lol.
For now.
It's okay. Fitbit has entered month 3 now of not syncing. It's all over their forums and they've done absolutely nothing. Definitely want to get a Band now...
Apparently they've sent out replacement Charge HR's to people (which have in turn also failed to sync).
Mine started working again after a factory reset (and re-setup with my phone), then stopped working 2 days later again, with showing the wrong time and so on. Done another factory reset now, and it's working again, we'll see how long.
Ha! I am on my THIRD Charge HR from them.
My sister and father are pleased with their free Charge HR's, but I'm still really ticked off. These things cost a fortune for what you get and the support is the worst I have even seen from a company.
they don't want the old one back?? How cheap are these things to manufacture?
Nope, they don't want it back. Heck, I could have another one on my way in an hour if I wanted. Think about it like this, you can get the same functionality out of a Chinese tracker, with obviously very lacking software etc... for about $20...
These things cost $150
Man, I thought the HR tracking would've made them more expensive to manufacture, but I guess not. I feel a bit of a fool now for getting it... damn it. Should've just paid double and imported a Band 2 instead.
Have you tried on an iPhone?

I guess now that Microsoft bought SwiftKey, I won't need to wait for the Wordflow keyboard port anymore.
e: Now that I got over it, I have to say that I still want the WP keyboard. The prediction in SwiftKey can be scary-good and the fact that you can use multiple languages at the same time, without switching, is fantastic. But the feeling and feedback (the sound!) of Wordflow has yet to be matched.

It feels like a massive waste of money and I have no idea why they'd pay 250 million dollars when they have their own keyboard that is one of if not the best mobile keyboard around.

Read the article that I didn't link in here, but only in the Android thread for some reason.

They're mostly interested in the prediction A.I., which turns out to be really excellent for me. Now, the prediction on Windows Phone has also been really good, but you can imagine how much better it can get with the enormous user base they have on Android, compared to Windows Phone. Heck, they didn't even port the Windows Phone keyboard to the desktop, for whatever reason.

Stop playing bro, you know you want a 950. And for those waiting for a fire sale, Thurrott predicted that MS would keep the price high so that, even as they lost market share, they wouldn't take a bath on the devices themselves.
Yes, I'm very upset at the purchase...
I don't know if you were referencing it but Fitbit's latest tech support says to try using an iPhone or android phone instead.........!

Open box it is! There must be plenty of those.
In the UK there was open box 950 XLs for £319 last night. Decent price.

I just ordered a Mozo black leather cover for the 950 XL. Can't wait to join the pseudo premium device bandwagon.

All they need to do is adding the prediction and language support in WordFlow. That's all I want.

WordFlow's prediction is crazy good for me, though. It's easy mode typing 99% of the time.

Battery is at 86% after 7 hours with the new fast ring build, I hope it stays this good. Had a few random reboots yesterday tho

On gaf (and some other sites) when typing either via wordflow or by using suggestions it will not auto enter an space. It's very annoying.

Got about a literal 90% worse for me on 10 than on 8.1. But it's entirely stuffed on Edge still - only captures every other word because of no auto-space.
Battery life (on stand by at least) has been really good on the latest build. I did have my first random reboot since owning the phone though today. Hopefully not a pattern.

I still think it's pretty awesome, but somehow I have noticed more mistakes lately. About half of the time I type "is" it gets corrected to "I" which is just bizarre.
usually WhatsApp.
Sounds like I'd need to go back to Production ring to get it. I might do it tonight, but I'm not sure what they fixed.

Downloading firmware now. Seems Europe is getting it first then? Confirmed for Germany on WindowsCentral, and now Sweden.
On Production or Fast ring?
Changed to production, searched for update, found it right away. Though, bloody thing is stuck at 0% downloading for the past hour.
