I was in a Wal-Mart and wanted Cortana to make a reminder / note for me on the price of an item I wanted to compare to Home Depot's price. She wouldn't work because she said ' I'm not connected to the Internet ' !!!!!!! WTF? You have to be on Wi-fi for Cortana to work? Pretty useless it seems.

I'm happy to hear that. Hope 100 million others have the same luck :) Seems there is a possibility my virus program Avast Premier may be responsible. Some say they had to remove AVG / AVAST. There was that problem on an early version but AVAST fixed it. Maybe it's back. Too soon to tell...

I fully understand I signed up for beta testing. I've been beta testing Windows since Windows 95. But this is the WORST update I have ever seen. I got it updated finally yesterday morning and then wished I hadn't. Took several tries to get it to boot and when I got to the Lock Screen I could...

Update 547 will not install. Tried twice yesterday. Gets to 97% and hangs. Let it sit for an hour and NOTHING HAPPENED. Fortunately, it did revert back to 532 with no " apparent " problem. People are screaming about this all over the world where it is going out. Microsoft is silent so far...

Thanks Just went and took care of that.

My bad. The Surface Pro is still running W8.1 and as far as I know Edge is not available for W8.1.

On my Surface Pro 1 ( original Surface tablet ) when in IE videos don't play. On Facebook and other sites videos just leave a blank spot ... no error messages. I have to switch to Firefox to see videos. Everything works fine in Firefox. This is IE 11 I believe. Address bar and tab are on...

I may do a Hard Reset on it tomorrow. Maybe. The phone is a toy so it may aggravate me but I can lay it down and walk away. I don't need it. Some people would have their life turned upside down if their phone was broke but I'm not in that position. And, that's how I learn. I do something...

Yes it is ... maybe. I still can't get Outlook Email to receive :) although it sends -- hmmm -- or did send before the reset --- haven't tested sending since. Reckon I oughta try that. Yeah, just took a quick break and tried it and it sent email just fine although it still doesn't indicate...

I had been very frustrated before because my Surface Pro tablet would not MIRROR to my Sony TV. Last night, while poking into corners in my new phone I saw " connect to a wireless display ". I thought " yeah right ... bet it won't work any better than the Surface did ... they both came from...

I discovered that the Outlook email on the Lumia < is > sending email. It acts and looks like nothing is happening. But when I clicked on the + sign and made up a test message it seemed like it didn't work. But then it showed up in email on the desktop!! Tried a few more and sending a pic and...

Many thanks to those who responded. I'm surprised they didn't tell me this in the Forums for Lumia's and Windows 10 phones etc. etc all the places I've been asking ... no one ever piped up and said it was a known bug. Fortunately, other than sending pictures, I don't need to get e-mail on my...

I've been trying for the last week to set up an email account on my new Lumia 640 XL dumbphone. My email provider is cox.net. It works fine on this desktop and on my Surface Pro Tablet. But on the phone it just keeps telling me my settings are out of date and asking me to input my password...

Thanks, just ordered one of those. Went with the 64 gig ... should be more than enough.

Got the Lumia 640 XL and wondering what is the best expansion card. What class should I use? Higher number = faster right? So a class 10 would be the thing to go for?

Does the Lumia 640 XL need a screen protector? I've been wiping fingerprints off the screen like crazy. Not sure if it has Gorilla Glass or not, probably does.

=========== I'm not using an IPhone ---- I have the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL. Strangely, apps have volume adjustment in 30 steps but Windows functions seem to be limited to 10 / 10 at least in most cases. It's not too bad in a quiet environment ... but out somewhere that it's noisy it would be...

Well, it's my only " cell " phone but I have a land line in front of me all the time except when I'm out. It has already replaced my Surface for bedtime reading. Don't have to hold the Surface up and keep changing hands because my fingers get tired. The phone is much smaller but, thankfully...

This is my first " smart " phone so I have no clue what I am doing. Had to go to AT&T to get this phone .... booo ... but I paid cash and no contracts, just month to month so I can switch anytime I wish -- to T-Mobile the kid in the store said. Doesn't work with Verizon. Dunno if that's true or...

Yes I have Art Rage on both this desktop and my Surface Pro I. There is also an Art Rage app but since I have the entire program I see no need to use an app. I sometimes prefer to use Paint because it is faster and simpler especially for posting screen shots. =============
