    Ajith, 29 Sep 2016Hii frnd, have u tell the apps names for our 950 xl, please mention which purpose for the app ... moreFor videos: Ach player, or flv player (the first is a nifty little tool, that sadly does not have a up to date inerface but does almost everything. Is not that simple to use and understand, but once you do it, it will be interesting not to have it.

    Music: Loci music player, the best their is. The single player closer to winamp, i do not need online crappy this and what ever groove does.


    Windows info. Windows central, apprising. To great apps, no need for other info apps.

    Battery: Battery x. The only app i see does not take a punch to the battery it self. Nice litle app with graphics and some other interesting functions.

    For locking pictures, videos and notes: Brilli gallery locker

    Casting: Duplex media player. Is kind of expensive, but does have some great function not that easy to ignore (app is farely new, so might have some bugs

    For archives: Extractor for ZIP and RAR (yeah, a stupid name, but a good app.

    Foto editing. Fantasia painter (the best their is, in my opinion), vinci and fotor.

    Note taking : Kicknotes. The apps is promising, has backup on local storage and you can set a pin on it, also you can set a pin entering the app. Sadly has some annyoing bugs. But it's functions are not to be found anywhere so, well, i have to stay with the bugs.

    Alternative browser. Monument browser. Is good and interesting to use.

    For you tube: MyTube, i have came a long way in this platform, but nothing compare to stability and speed of this app. I hate the interface of you tube on android, this app just kills that interface in my opinion, and is full of functions.

    For more functions: Perfect tools. Great compass, speedometer, noisemeter and so on. Try it.

    Touch and lock: Great app for locking the screen without pressing any button. It avoids systems animations so the screen will lock instantly.

    Xodo for pdf. stopmusic (the yellow one) to kill music and delete thse nasty buttons always staying on while presing volume rocker.

    Wifi file sharer, nifty little tool to share files. Video compressor, great tool for making smaller videos to send via whatsapp or whatever other app you want to send videos with.

    T-translator: Better does not get. Blame google for crappy resaults, their will be some.:)

    I don't play games, the only game i have and still keeps me interested is yatzy ultimate.

    Apps wort to metion: Aida64, myappfree, nfc shortcut, office lens, pencil sketch collage
    Playcast, photo funia, squid (papyrus), share it and another game: slingpin

In audiorouting disable "during a call" function, if you have it on. This function messe up my phone sadly. They will fix it, but well, takes some time. Update to the latest comultative update, was released yesterday. If nothing works,take it back. Or jump on ms's throat. They will have to give you some answers, helping you with something. This can also be a firmware error. Do you remember when it first happened, what you did before, installed?

        Ok so my 950XL is freaking out. Music doesn't play if I close groove and open it again, if music is playing and the screen is locked, I can't adjust the volume without unlocking the device or waking it. The loud speaker activates on its own even tho the audio routing is turned off in both whatsapp calls and normal call app. I reinstalled the software using recovery tool but after about two days it starts again. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

              The specifications on this state that it's operating system is Microsoft Windows 10, or is it the watered down & restrictive Windows 10 Mobile? It would be a great system if it was capable of running the unrestricted full version of Microsoft Windows 10 Professional.

                vijay pandey, 01 Oct 2016may I know about automatic call recording,camera button & single sim option in lumia 950xl.As far as I know calls are recorded manually, it is very easy to record, because it among the menus when you are making or receiving a call. I guess that way you do not have to record calls not worth recording, thereby minimising the use of your storage.
                The dedicated camera button launches the camera, even when the phone is locked (though you will have to enable it to launch when locked in the settings). If you press the button half way it will stabilise and focus the image. Pressing down and holding the button take images in panorama mode.
                The download speed for single SIM is 300MB/s while the dual SIM is 150MB/s

                        In my opinion it might not resolve it. I am thinking it is a hardware problem, did the device receive a hard blow, fall, etc. This could lead to hardware issues, which can make it malfunction.

                                Hey guys, I am seriously interested in buying this phone, but I want to known how the os runs. If its buggy or smooth, does the phone overheat, that kind of stuff. I currently have a lumia 1320 running wp10 as a backup phone, but it is very buggy and overheats alot. Hope that's not the case with the 950xl

                                    Ever since I received this device I have had no trouble with it what so ever. Now I'm trying to find out if anyone else has come across this problem that just popped up outta nowhere like an rko. When I go to make a phone call the on speaker button highlights on it's own and doesn't turn off. Any out going call made after this happens can't go thru since the on speaker button is highlighted and u don't hear anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Ans if so, other than for restarting the phone, is there any other solution?
