    Just replaced battery with official replacement on my 1520.

    I found a youtube video. If you search there, there's plenty of them. I use an old credit card to slide under the old one to loosen the adhesive. If you're lucky, you'll get the old one w/o damage, and leave the adhesive behind for your replacement.

    Need help from Lumia 640 Xl W10M users

    This is likely better asked in the appropriate sub-forum for this device. That said, I think you'll be fine with it.

    Absolutely crazy things with email

    I used to have one email account that would do what you are describing. I have about 8 accounts on my phone, but one of them would stop synching, and lose connectivity randomly. I would have to delete it, then re-add it to the app, and it would work again. In this case, it was a work email...

    Just replaced battery with official replacement on my 1520.

    Glass only is pretty hard to do on this one. Lots of LCD there to separate. Replacing the whole LCD assembly is not very hard, and the prices on the whole assembly have dropped to the point that it's hard to justify paying someone to do a glass only repair.

    Just replaced battery with official replacement on my 1520.

    Not too hard to replace the battery in this phone. Any questions - ask away. I've done about a dozen of them.

    will a DT-900 wireless charging unit work made for the 928 work with the new 950

    I had one that I used with a 920 and 830, and it worked. I personally like the rapid charge wall plug better though, so I never use the charge plate. I also have a Samsung plate that I got for a now-returned S6 Edge, but I haven't even tried it with the 950. Will have to give it a shot and...

    why cant i text some people but i can others one person does not recieve any texts from me

    Need more info. Can you access data (internet)? Any other issues? Carrier? Phone model? Have you recently changes phones or carriers? Traveled abroad? I can say that when I've had an issue like this in the past, it was because I switched phones, and there was a mismatch between my IMEI...

    Why is my Nokia Lumia 920 Volume Up and the Camera button / rocker doesn't work?

    3M two-sided tape Sim reader failures on the 920 are a real pain. It's easier to replace the whole motherboard than just the sim reader. You can buy just the board, or a phone with a broken screen.

    Want to buy a new battery but a legit one

    fonejoy.com has original parts. I haven't checked for batteries for the 950 specifically. They are in the UK though, so shipping may be costly. When I've bought things from them, they got here (US) pretty quickly.

    Lumia 1520 battery replacement

    Not too hard. Just go slow. The battery placement doesn't require much in the way of fiddling with other internals, so it's not too hard on that phone.

    Does your Lumia Icon/929 has a reddish tint?

    Worst case, replace the LCD assembly. Not too hard to do in that phone. Much easier if you buy one with a frame, but not too hard w/o frame either.

    Thinking about a 640XL

    I'd say the only thing the 640XL has over the Icon is the large screen and removable SD card. Outside of those two items, IMHO, the Icon is better in all other ways. That said, they're only $80 right now, the try it out risk is pretty low.

    No sim or invalid error lumia 640xl lte

    This happened to my 640, and I could not find anything that might make it not recognize the card. One thing I didn't try is cleaning the contacts. I'll see if I can try that, and report back. You may be able to put a little rubbing alcohol on a Kleenex, and gently clean them. I ended up...
