    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Yeah, I see Cortana must have just released today or yesterday. It works pretty well, but for some reason doesn't sync up with Outlook app on Android and doesn't seem to notice you have calendar events even when they show up in Cortana. If you ask her about your events for the day she says you...

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    The kicker here is that my Wife and I are (or were...slowly converting here) both very anti-Google (not getting into that discussion here) and of course are (and will continue to be) pro Microsoft. Had she not initially looked at the android phone options we would both be using Lumia 950's...

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Today is the final decision day and my Wife has chosen to keep her Galaxy Edge Plus. We plowed through a bunch of learning curve points last night and today and feel more confident with the android OS. I'll be exchanging my Lumia 950 for my own Galaxy Edge Plus this afternoon. It seems a...

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Not sure yet, my Wife is at home messing with it. We did discover a few beginner videos for those coming to Android for the first time, we've been passing links back and forth to each other today. Once I hit 10 posts here I'll be able to post links, but search for these on youtube should give...

    Thanks everyone for the replies, this thread has become super helpful! My Wife is at home with plans on using the android all day while I'm stuck at work. :) I did find a calendar that might work the way we want, it's the "Microsoft Next Lock Screen", thanks to matthewmcquay for the...

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Thanks Laura, we got the OneDrive app setup to our liking. Next thing on the list is to find a calendar that will show the next days events in a simple to read format/widget. Hoping to find something similar to how the calendar live tile was on windows phone.

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Thanks all for your opinions/replies. We did make the jump for my Wife's phone, she's now using a Samsung S6 Edge Plus 64gb. Yep, nice learning curve, but so far she's doing well with customizing it to her liking after only a few hours with the phone. Clearly the customizing options are far...

    Switching to Android after 9 years on windows phone. What should I expect? Tips?

    Thank you both for your replies! The other question is can our files, pictures, video, etc auto-sync to OneDrive on the android phone? A lot of what we like with Windows is the seamless sync'ing of files, including favorites in our mobile browser (in this case Edge browser), etc. My Wife is...

    Hello! Recently upgraded from Lumia 920 to the new Lumia 950 running windows 10 mobile and have been very disappointed. My Wife and I have been windows phone users since around 2005 and are deciding to make the switch, mainly due to the buggy mess that the Lumia 950 and Windows 10 Mobile has...
