    Windows 10 not recognising Android phone


    Since the recent Windows 10 update the computer won't recognise my Android phone to access files. The phone charges fine when plugged in to the USB port but no visibility of the storage.


    Yes, I have checked all the settings on the phone and they indicate it is in data transfer mode. I have also checked all the support I can find for Android phones.


    Prior to the recent update(s) the phone would appear in "My PC" with a small item of software which, once activated, gave me direct access to the files like any other storage device.


    I am told by my ISP that it is a Windows 10 issue, not a phone issue.


    How can I check what the problem is with Windows 10?

    :)

    $.10 android apps

    Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but they have $.10 (yes, 10 cents) android apps on the Android Market to celebrate 10 BILLION downloads. So far I've picked up Tetris, Need for Speed Shift, SoundHound amd ADWLauncher EX. There were several other games that were listed, including ones too good for my phone *Frown Windows 10 not recognising Android phone :(

    How Windows Phone Is Turning Its Slim App Selection Into a Strength

    Windows Phone has tons of advantages by sharing components (like .NET and Windows Marketplace) with it's Windows brethren. It takes less effort to produce a quality program for both platforms than it does for Android and iOS. Microsoft is pursuing quality over quantity.

    Most people only use maybe 10 apps to get functionality not provided by default with the device. If Windows Phone has something functionally the same as those 10 apps on iOS or Android, the argument is moot.

    Case in point: pick the features you absolutely can't live without on any phone and compare them. Are they built into the OS? If there is not, is there an app available to add that functionality? Does the solution meet your expectations? Answer those questions for each functionality to find which platform is best for you.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store
