++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++ #theWindowsthatneversleeps +
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I think it was at least one solution, but they had to get in the game much earlier. More mobile device types was another.
They shut the doors and sold everything, so game over. You're correct on the percentage. The bean counters are the ones that call the final shots. I'm assuming they saw no big profits in it. A worthwhile percentage of profit anyway, if any.

Thank you for the information and link, ThomasHuffman1. My bad. Ignoring the Windows world got the best of me. I kept getting a warning popup from time to time when opening WhatsApp that end of WM service was 12/10 and WhatsApp will not work after 12/31. Kept pushing “Remind me later”. Didn’t know we were getting one last update. Now I see we have another month of life. Updated mine just now. This may change my plans, although I need my WhatsApp for overseas calling and chats.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my Lumia. My referencing it to as “boat anchor” was in jest. I was keeping it charged and alive without SIM and WiFi off to use the great 18mp camera and possible surfing/Netflix now and then via WiFi. For backup in case I brick my new phone while rooting it as well. With this news I’ll slip the SIM and micro card back in and use it while doing so.
So far as security, I’d like to believe you, but with the news of service ending I think hackers may do some damage. I mean there’s enough of us still using WM, yes? Perhaps keeping WiFi off and only using cellular data may help. At least for a year or so until things cool down. Perhaps I’m being overcautious. I’ve been burned twice with breaching of my bank card. They used the card scanners to get in. Fortunately, they gave me notice in time. Of course, with the chips in cards now there’s less chance.
It’s probably corporations being breached we need to be more concerned about. Geez……

Why do this?
some developers are now hacking capable Android devices to run full Windows 10 ARM
and failing...
Some got it to work on the Lumia 950 XL
Since when is the Lumia 950XL a capable Android device ?
It's not, but it has lower specs than newer androids so it can be done. It took quite a while to get it working (somewhat) on the Lumia 950 XL. My point was it's been done on a phone before.
