My father got a new phone and he decided it would be a bright idea to set up the phone using the a different MS account than his old phone, not realizing that everything was tied to the other MS account. What's the best way for him to proceed, just reset the phone I assume?

Can't wait to run the same non-optimized Win32 apps, that get my Surface Pro 4 3 hours of battery life, on my phoooone! Wooo!

has calmed down a bit.
The way I understand it, they wouldn't run on the phone directly, they would run on continuum. So you're either plugged in or using a laptop-like device similar to the X3.
Yeah, this.
The rumours are that the Surface Phone will probably not arrive before spring 2018.
The 830 chipset that will be required will come out late next year and so should Redstone 3, so I don't quite understand why. Unless they want to give HP a bit of a free run with their phone since they're rumoured to be heavily involved in the project.

The 830 is the 835 now and is coming in H1 2017. The Galaxy S8 is supposed to launch with it.

Yeah, most likely hardware virtualization enabled in the Core. I don't know if the Kyro core has it.
ARM v7 and v8 have extensions for it https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions

On mobile, Android app emulation is more important than x86 emulation on Continuum.

I don't see how x86 emulation has any real impact in the near future.

Not for enterprise, which is all MS seems to care about nowadays.
I need that netflix airplane mode update
I can't get it to work on my iPad. Keeps throwing errors offline.

Damn, this is the most activity Windows Phone GAF has had in a week.
On a side note I was recently thinking about the Surface Phone which led to me thinking about the future of smartphones. It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Surface Phone, but I just was reflecting how cool it'd be to have a phone you could use like a regular smartphone and then pick it up and take it to work/school and "Continuum" it through a display and run legacy programs. It also led to me thinking about the future of technology and how it will be cool when we reach that point where I could take my phone on the go and play "hardcore" PC games through it by hooking it up to a TV or monitor.

Heya.
I'm thinking about going back to windows phone.
Went from a 920 to an iPhone 6 two years ago, and with the battery dying and shit all the time on it, and never using itunes, I think I"m just going to go back.
I want to buy another 920 again, I don't use any apple apps except like, instagram and tinder. Do those still have windows 10/WP equivalents. Does the 920 even get win10 or is it stuck on 8.1?
I'm hoping to stay on T-Mo.

Dang, people are saying you can't wifi call via T-mo on it though. Maybe I should just go back to AT&T.
He's right though about Wi-Fi Calling not working on W10M (for Lumia 640).

Windows 10 on ARM. x86 emulation means all Win32 software eligible to use. Biggest question is performance.

You mean the smaller Surface 3?
No, that was because Intel canceled the successor to the Atom chip it uses.
