    dns change

    Hi. I have a Lumia 640 with wp10. I'm wondering how to change the DNS address in the WiFi properties for my home broadband. It's in an attempt to bypass BT servers in the UK. Thanks

    outlook app

    Last weekend I put wp10 on my 640 via insider. All good. I had outlook and Gmail. Yesterday I went to open an email and both Gmail and outlook disappeared from the start screen. Outlook is still on the phone but it just says 'not synced yet'. How can I uninstall the app so I can start again...

    When can i expect wp10 update on my uk tesco lumia 640?

    As above. I dont want to install the preview in case it doesnt work correctly, unless anyone has evidence to the contrary.

    Ringing volume.

    Ive had another idea. I can just glue a thin strip of something (not sure what yet- piece of plastic) across the back of the fone just above the speaker hole. Just enough so that there is a small gap when laid face up. Bingo.

    Ringing volume.

    Ringing volume.

    I wondered why i kept missing calls... The chuffing speaker hole is on the flat rear of the 640 and when its put down on a flat surface you cant hear it. Some donut made a design clanger there..

    Should I stay with my HTC 8s and wait for the newer Windows phone next year?

    htc8s v new phone.. I have a htc8s. It's nearly 3 yrs old and suits what I use a phone for. Internet, calls, text and camera. That's it. Today I played with a lumia 535 in tesco and apart from a larger screen and front camera I couldn't really make out much difference. However, it is only ?10...

    New Microsoft phones?..

    I am in the UK and my ee contract runs out on 6 January. I was after a lumia 830 so called ee today to get one. I was told the lumias have been discontinued due to Microsoft buying nokia and (the 830) was out of stock never to return. I was transferred to a very knowledgeable chap who said that...

    Resuming?

    None of my apps are on the sd card. My music and photos are and it it is slow getting music on/off. I accidentally touched the bing search the other day and it took an eternity to go back to the home page.

    Resuming?

    Is the 'resuming' message and the delay when closing apps just down to the slow processor and small memory on my htc8s? I'm going for a lumia 830 in a few weeks anyway but was just wondering.

    What would you replace your HTC 8S with?

    I like my 8s. It does everything I need it to do. No lag at all with 8.1 on it. My contract runs out in December and I've been eyeing up phones now so that when I get one it will be old(ish) , free and low monthly cost by then. Probably get 925 or 930 if that's free.
