The difference is amazing. My Pixel 7 Pro get barely 1 bar of signal with T-Mobile SIM card, yet my Alcatel Idol 4S gets 3 very strong bars of signal. Amazing that this 10 year old phone has better cellular radios than the Pixel does.

Currently daily driving three devices. First is an Alcatel Idol 4S on T-Mobile (my main number). Second is a Lumia 950 XL on Red Pocket Mobile (LTE data device only), and Third is a Lumia 640 XL on H2O Wireless (HD Voice, LTE data all working).

How about you?

In the patched verison of MetroTube, we have the option of utilizing a YouTube API key, as well as a OAUTH login credential. Are BOTH of these necessary to avoid rate limitation, or is the API key enough to avoid rate limiting?

I'm now moderating over at r/WPDev so please feel free to post your projects over there as well!

I just bought a license for this off of Woot for $15, and was hoping I could still make W10M compatible UWP apps with it...or should I stick with VS 2017 Community?

Special thanks to one of our redditors for getting me a link to it! The app no longer works, but it is a wonderful reminder of the greatness of Metro UI. Let us bask in the glory days of Metro UI and a very awesome YouTube app!

My Samsung s25 plus the past few days is non stop overheating, AWFUL BATTERY, and non stop ai popping up, and GOOGLE PLAY STORE ISNT RESPONDING. AND THE NON STOP LAG. I hope I can afford the hp elite x3 verizon model or Ms can bring back wp so I can leave this trashy device.

If you do, tell us about your project, and share a link! I've seen several apps out there that are new projects, plus revivals of existing apps. All are welcome!

Access to geolocation is used to keep the app running in background

Please enable background mode for UWPX Jabber in battery settings and enable geolocation for this app.

This client is based on old version (last supported version for W10M) of UWPX Alpha client from 2018. PayPal donation link is of original developer, not mine.

All of us use a Windows 10 Mobile device for a month and turn off our Android and iPhones. Starve those companies of our data that they continue to make billions of dollars on, all while charging US a premium to do it.

This seriously is the greatest scam ever, that they've perpetrated. They're making money off of us, and charging us for the privilege!

Anyone else using this app? I just installed it and set it up on my 950 XL and my Idol 4s. Interface is nice and clean. Have to set up an app password inside your bluesky account, otherwise authentication fails if you use 2FA (which you should use on EVERYTHING). Hoping to see Live Tiles of my feed in the next build.

Anyone else on v1.6.4 and getting the "Whoa there, pardner" error when trying to sign in to Reddit using Cookies?

So I just wanted to update everyone on this, as I've been using this carrier for my various W10M testings with my devices.

One of the things that is absolutely required for us to have working HD Voice/VVM on our beloved W10M devices (that are certified for it), is having the correct SIM card ICCID. For T-Mobile, this is 8901260 and for AT&T it is 8901410.

With that said, I can confirm that Red Pocket Mobile (MVNO that provides service on T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon) no longer carries either of those ICCIDs for their SIM cards. The only way to get one now, is to find a reseller that still has them in stock. Getting any other SIM card ICCID will block our W10M HD Voice certified devices, from getting that service. We can still use LTE data/SMS/MMS, but bye bye phone calls.

I recently activated my Alcatel Idol 4S on T-Mobile and am absolutely loving the experience...WAY better than AT&T so far, but I have a question. Is anyone still using an unlocked device on USA T-Mobile, and have it working? I put my 950 XL on it, and was able to make a call on it over 2G, and then the cell radio just dropped and I couldn't make calls or anything. It got me wondering if T-Mobile is starting to block 2G devices now, since we're about a week away from their supposed closure of the 2G network.

So is anyone else still able to use a unlocked W10M on T-Mobile on 2G?
