I installed it and it worked for a while then started crashing. I went back to 8.1 then reinstalled again. Same thing screen problems etc. It would hang on a black screen after the install reboot. So I'm back on 8.1. --john

That's what I thought. Thanks. I do love this phone. I'm a Nokia 920 convert. For what I do it is great.

Could someone clear up for me: I am not a developer. I bought my Win HD from a Microsoft store. It says open market device (BLU) OS 8.10.14203.306 firmware 00510.24500.20001.11251 etc. Nothing about developer. I would says this is an unlocked phone Not a developer phone, correct? I received the...

I am also on 20001.11251 I have checked and no update I read an article that it is a firmware update to fix the laggy screen. I have yet to see it, USA AT&T. --john .

I installed You tube HD. I played some of my subscriptions in HD and they looked fine. I can't speak to the screen hanging on games. I have not noticed it with my use. --john

Picked up one from Amazon. $99 added to my family data share. I use a Nokia 920 and a Windows 8.1 laptop. Seems like a better fit as a daily driver for my personal needs than my Ipad.

I have a Blue Ant v4 hands free kit. When I first connect to Bluetooth everything works. If I walk away and come back I touch it to reconnect and it says reconnected hands free voice activation is on. But it is not. I tried it with an HTC 8X and my Nokia 920 both fail. I can touch it and it will...

I have updated by OTA from AT&T 1308.0001 no Storage tool? Did AT&T dump it?
