I have been ... moreSorry man about the issues your are experiencing on your device. Never knew or heard of anyone using this device that have these issues in the recent times.
Let me suggest to you, first do a hard clean reset, install all your apps on the phone memory, update the phone, visit the app store update all your apps. Your phone will work just fine.
Coming to windows phones, one needs to learn how it works, you can visit forums where related topics of concerns are discussed.

I have my 950 now for more than half a year and no issues.
The version of W10 that came with the phone did have issues such as the need for restarts, but after the second update or so, not any more.
I do not have problems with the lack of apps. All is there or there is a sufficient mobile website available.
The only thing left is Onenote which will not synchronise when a note has more than e few pictures in it. Microsoft is aware of it since more than a year, but refuses to do anything about this (I had E-mailing with MS).
Word and Powerpoint works fine, but personally I see no use of office programm on a mobile, although I use Powerpoint when doing a survey of an installation and making pictures with notes.

I purchased this phone as work phone due to its integration with MS Office etc
I have been disappointed with stability and am constantly hard resetting the phone due to freezes. Quite often during the work day I find that the phone has restarted on its own and I have missed phone calls from customers.
I have spent enough time on this device to give MS a chance to fix bugs etc but they just don't seem to care anymore.
I would find it difficult to recommend this phone to anyone, the great spec is only a selling point if the device works.
As for the debate about applications, Moving to this phone from IOS and Android the apps that we are used to simply are not there. I will not go into specifics about this as everyone's requirements are different and this is just my experience.
My only true regret is that I held onto this device to long and have missed the return window
Thanks Microsoft

I have been lumia 950 xl for a month now. At first it was getting hot and draining the battery fast, but after a hard reset, the phone works like a premium phone and it is a premium phone. As for the apps, who needs a thousand apps on the phone. The battery last for two days and hello feature is a blast not to mention the camera and the bright screen. The Microsoft lumia 950xl is even better than Apple iPhone 6 plus, that's according to go arena comparison.

Microsoft's free
excel, word apps are worst apps on lumia 950xl.
We can't drag the table wherever we want in a document.
We can't resize the table.
We can't add flowcharts in a document.
We can't enable ruler.
Even we can't do those things using Microsoft's continuum feature.
When we can't create a simple document using continuum feature, then what is the use of microsoft's great continuum feature...?
Do you know microsoft's word, excel free apps for IOS...???
In iOS word app we can drag the table wherever we want in a document and we can resize the table according to our wish.
We can add ruler in word app for iOS..
When Microsoft is not updating it's own apps on its own platform, then how come other third party app vendors will update there apps on windows 10 mobile platform...?
Lumia 950xl users should pay 3300 Indian rupees (approx 48 USD) as annual subscription charges to creat documents, but IOS users no need to pay anything to creat documents..
Apple's numbers, pages apps are free for iPhone users to creat documents. But Lumia users should pay 3300 Indian rupees every year for office 365 personal subscription charges to create documents..(forget abt Microsoft's free office app, it is useless, worst and waste)
Microsoft should completely remove office 365 personl subscription charges for Lumia 950xl users..

Microsoft is having a "two for one" sale - if you buy the 950XL you get a free 950.
This is from Microsoft only so you can't get this deal and the AT&T or your phone service provider. Quite the deal - and Windows 10 has become very stable so I think you will be happy. Camera can not be beat. Main reason I have one. Also, I hate iOS and Lag-droid.

Friends I really don't hate the OS. Who are using Lumia pls tell me have you never faced automatic reboot issue? I'm facing it on daily basis from beginning. I asked with support team they advice me to take heard reset. That didn't help me. I told them that navigation bar is eating 3-5 row of pixels at the bottom of UI when navigation bar is not hidden, they asked me to reinstall the OS. lool.....
After upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile I'm feeling that phone has become little slower than the Windows phone 8.1.. More app crashes, loading and resuming screen. And my Lumia 730 automatically restarts everyday (not a new gift though). My app usage is also very less. Most popular Indian online store apps, recharging apps, one bank app, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Candy crush, Asphalt, truecaller, and most of the Nokia/Microsoft exclusive apps.
Any normal user can find the bugs in windows phone keep performance aside.
