Coming from a Windows device, I did install Arrow since it is from MS. I like it but it is not my current choice. What I like are the Recent, People and Notes, Reminder's page & and the Quick Links from the bottom. What I don't like is the Apps page. Again coming from a Windows phone I find the...

Has anyone tried Cortana with Marshmallow yet? The problem I seem to be having is that Cortana will not announce reminders if the phone is Doze mode. I'm new to Android, I just started it using as my daily driver last week. I didn't have Cortana before Marshmallow so I don't know if this is new...

Thanks I had already figured out that it worked. I also discovered that updates are not allows in the Outlook app for contacts. So I ended up setting ActiveSync with the stock app so I can update my contacts.

Agree. There is no comparison between Tiles and Icons. My PC desktop has one icon. The Recycle Bin. That's it. As far as setting up contacts this is what I did. 1) Installed MS Outlook and connected to my two Office 365 accounts and my two Live accounts 2) I made sure that I didn't Sync Contacts...

I've not made the full move yet (meaning I'm still using my W10M as my daily driver). But here are my thoughts... I do miss the clean layout of a Windows Phone. However, on Android you can change the layout to what you want. Hey who knows, maybe MS will come out with another launcher (besides...

Then I changed to "5 min" to see if that worked and it doesn't. The only way I can get the change to happen is...

Hi sharpycl, to make sure I understand, you are saying that you are using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to sync with your live.com email address? So are you setting the Microsoft Outlook app not to sync?

Will the contacts from my live account sync with the dialer? I tried it on a tablet that is running 4.4.2 and in the Outlook App I can see the one test contact that I have in my gmail account. But in the stock People App, I can't see my contacts from Outlook. My concern is that I won't see those...

I tried the Outlook app in a tablet running 4.4.2 and I don't see my Outlook contacts in the People Android app. In the Outlook App, I do see the 1 test contact that I have in my Android account in addition to my regular outlook contacts. So I'm concerned that it is not synching the contacts...

Will the contacts in my live.com account show up in the dialer if I use the Outlook App?
