Using registry entries for the 950XL dual sim, I currently have my Liquid Jade Primo running 1709 (10.0.15254.490). Doesn't seem to be super stable. It's crashed a couple times and after installation the lock screen stayed on when I pressed the power button. Thank you boldun2 for this:

The only annoyance was that the lock screen stayed permanently on (I managed to cure this by doing a hard reset and then also toggling Personalisation/Navigation Bar/Vibration (which involved a reboot - not sure that hard reset was in fact necessary).

Not sure how you came across that, but the lock screen situation forced me to abandon this phone a few months back.
I have just done a restore from my old phone (Lumia 650--excellent phone, just wanted more horsepower). I will have to go through the lock screen "fix" and see how stable it is over a couple of days before I'll commit to making it my daily driver. Really bothers me that Microsoft completely botched Windows Phone/Windows Mobile. iOS and Android are fine, but FAR from perfect. Plenty of room for a third mobile OS, but Microsoft really blew a golden opportunity. Windows Phone 7 was a disaster. And now guess what iOS and Android are doing? Continuum-like functionality. Gee, how revolutionary.
This beautiful phone still works great on Anniversary Update!
Acer and Microsoft should absolutely release it officially.
I hate to do this, but I am desperate and have no other place to turn to. My Liquid Jade Primo is stuck in a Boot loop and I have used Windows Device Recovery to reset it to original Factory settings and it's just stuck on the Acer Logo, and keep rebooting and once it sits there for a while. I am not sure what else to do. The Phone is out of warranty.
I have done this as well
- Turn off the phone by pressing the "Power" button for a short while.
- Then press and hold the "Volume Down" and "Power" button for a few seconds.
- At the exclamation mark screen, release the held button and perform the following sequence of button presses:
Any other suggestion on how I can bring this to life will be much appreciated.- Volume Up
- Volume Down
- Power
- Volume Down
Thanks

Redid WDRT, and it's same thing. I do have to mention that WDRT does not detect the phone, I have to manually select it. When I put it in Gear mode, it detects the phone, other than that, it does not. Could be it a hardware issue?

The Camera app has the version 2017.1003.21.2000. The focus speed has been improved a lot since months ago
I don't know what version of Camera is included with 14393.2431 (I haven't used the app since I updated), but I hope it fixes the focus problem. I needed 3 and sometimes 4 attempts to get a clear photo the last time I used it.
boldun2: The Camera app with 14393.2431 and .2485 is the same as what you have (2017.1003.21.2000).
After one update ( download, prep, install, and migrate), when the phone restarted the screen was black, no amount of power button presses would turn the screen on. I still had the OTC app running on PC, plugged the phone back in and the next update downloaded and sent to phone. I then unplugged my sync/charge cable from the phone and set it in my dock. Continuum popped up and my monitor was on desk top and the screen on my phone was now on. It is working like it should and the update is still running in the background.
If I have any issues with a screen that does not turn off as I go I will try the same to see.....I will update as I go.
Only one minor ( and I do mean minor bug that I see ), time zone issue during first set up....only -8:00 was available. However location is on and auto time set is active....when set up was finished the correct time is showing. I am Eastern -5:00 and in settings there is no drop down menu to select as such...so I do not know how this will play out but I am going to run for a bit and see.
The only other thing I notice is when the phone loads up from a power off or a restart it seems to take a little longer to run through it's screens to get to lock screen. Once it's running I swear it seems faster......could be just the new feeling of an update.....oh well time will tell.
