    wp, 24 Oct 2016Anyone know how to delete apps cache?Go to settings, tap on system, tap on storage select the drive you want to clear, then tap on temporary file. There you will see three boxes i. Temporary files ii. Download file iii. Telemetry. You can choose to clear which option you want. As for the apps cache, it cleans up automatically.
    Going to storage through the settings allows you to have better management of your drives.

        AnonD-237189, 27 Oct 2016Actually, there is an app for cleaning cache.That does nothing but filling up the memory, to force windows to clean it self up from within. A thing i recomand to nobody to do. ;)

            wp, 24 Oct 2016Anyone know how to delete apps cache?Sadly their isn't any. The only way is by deleting them. Their are apps like wp central that have a delete cache button in settings. Something all apps should have, especially facebook, facebook messenger and whatsapp. But they won't do it. Your info is their money.

                  Jay, 20 Oct 2016I love it, however the ring time is way too short. It rings twice then bye bye. I am told it... moredepending on what you mean. Ring time for what? When we talk about, when someone is calling you, their is no software problem in tat. But more like your career. They probably activate voice-mail to soon. And that is why is ringing short. Can also be the you activate the voice-mail. Anyhow, call your self from another phone and see what is happening. Then talk with the career and tell them about their greedy way of making money;) and how you really don't like it.

It is actually brighter than the 920, but sounds like it just needs a little adjusting. That blue screen, sad face I think is a software issue but you can look it up on YouTube. It id a great phone. I have had my problems, but I am using a 950XL right now to write this comment. Once its running it's an awesome phone.......just takes a little patience.

                            anonymous, 15 Oct 2016The HP Elite x3 is more powerful than this & also uses Window 10.Yeah, but let's not forget this one costs now only 399 euros. Which, is a steal, minding the fact that is quite powerful and has a great camera and good battery life. also with the new update has almost no glitch, almost. But hp has more glitches at this point so...

I used the the recovery tool and after the second install, it started working fine. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, the situation got to a point where I couldn't make any calls so I did a hard reset about two days ago and oddly enough, it's working perfectly again. Im using it to make this comment and all. I got the latest update as of yesterday and now I have no issues......at least not yet. Fingers crossed it behaves. Thanks for the help!

Nope, just kidding. Your recomandation is kind of lame, settings less and nothing special. For the moment, i'll stick with something that actually UPDATES, Not just updates, but using the old saying. If it ain't brocken, don't fix it, that apple does since ever. Their systems are all dated and boring as hell. Not to say how retarded the mac is in front of windows, windows is light years away of that system. That system stucked in 1998. Ios stcked in 2007. Their design stucked at what they managed to copy from old school nokias. Yeah, i have to agree, i recommand not going for ios;). Android would be a way better option for windows users then that lifeless system, and i do not like android at all;).

And is more secure then the desktop version, cause of sandboxing. I would not like a desktop version for my smartphone at all. Neither should you. Antiviruses make the system slower and are not quite the perfect thing to have, exe apps are kind of useless on such small screen. I see no benefit of using a desktop version in a smartphone. But yeah, they could bring some more future from that version to mobile, i am not against that:)

                                        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
