RV_ Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I had to take two new Moto Z Droid Play phones because Verizon had no Windows phones newer than our two Lumia 735s which had no fingerprint or face lock and other hardware features most newer phones have now. Android is fine for those who like it. I can tolerate it until the Surface phones come out. The 950 and 950XL Lumia Windows mobile phones were GSM only, so I could not buy one and use it on CDMA Verizon. So we decided to try iPhones and returned them after an hour's use. When I found out the gymnastics and changes to my Windows computers I would have to make to get any music on them at all, I boxed the one I opened and returned both to Credo mobile. We returned them and returned to Verizon and found that since we left for a day and then came back, we qualified for new phones for switching back! Our last Lumias, the 735s, had MIcro SD card slots and worked with up to 200GB cards. We decided to try Android once more. The only thing we liked about the gazillions of Apps was that they had one that made our Android phones look and feel like Windows Mobile 10 phones! That app is here explained with screen shots: https://apkpure.com/squarehome-2-launcher/com.ss.squarehome2 We loaded it up on both phones and then made a second page for apps that swipes out from the screen's right side, to access all the Apps and settings, just like our Windows phones. We found no issues with the launcher and are sharing here for those with Andrpoid who would like to go back to that "feel" like we did. The squares can can be moved and sized like a Windows phone! When the Surface Windows mobile phones come out with Verizon, we will switch back. If Microsoft is so stupid as to give AT&T exclusive rights to the new flagship phones we will then have to switch to AT&T, who does not have the rural coverage we need here in the Shreveport/Bossier City area. We know, we had AT&T and verified with their local AT&T store that the dead spots are still there. Or maybe the new OS on the block in the T3 phones - OxygenOS based on Android™ Nougat - https://oneplus.net/3t/specs RV/Derekhttp://www.rvroadie.com Email on the bottom of my website page.Retired AF 1971-1998 When you see a worthy man, endeavor to emulate him.
