It seems 'Nate W' might have better information.

It didn't recognise my Lumia 950, but clicking "Device not recognised?" enabled me to select 'Lumia 950', and it worked fine, from there. Perhaps, that's just a Lumia thing. However, some people have succeeded in recovering, by simply clicking retry, over and over again. It seems, because of the...

I hear what you're saying - much of it is true - however, Release Preview insiders should not be getting 16212.1000. Moreover, the 'iot' in the middle implies this is for 'internet of things' rather than mobiles; though I'm just speculating, there. Either way, and notwithstanding all the caveats...

An update came through yesterday (I believe) and now when I open the app, it all looks fine, but as soon as I click 'connect' it flashes the correct screen for a fraction of a second, then flips to a black screen; it is almost as if it's turning two pages at once, if that makes it easier to...

First, I suggest you turn the backup off, for now, in view of your predicament (and make sure photos and videos are only over wifi, by saving at best quality). For my part, the problem seems resolved, somehow. I am near the end of the month and have used 212mb over wireless and 4mb by mobile...

I think it is the 'Apps & Settings' backup to One Drive. The size of your backup makes me suspect you have language packs downloaded in Bing Translator - probably two. This is a wild stab in the dark, but language packs are the only things I can establish, which cause the backup to be this...

And just FYI...I have a Lumia 830 - with Denim, of course - and these still do not sync; for all those harbouring thoughts they may, when that update comes through. With Cortana only referencing places in Bing Maps on the phone, this has really detracted from the excellent SatNav experience of...

For those who want more of an explanation than "No it doesn't" - because the sensor-core is present in the Snapdragon 400 - the reason the 'Hey Cortana' feature is not available in phones with the S400 is because of which sensors are actually available to be used without powering up. Before...

The current situation, it would seem, is this: Cortana uses the native "Maps" app, in WP8.1, and the 'favourites' in that app. Whilst Cortana can be set to use 'Here Drive' for navigation, Cortana does not (cannot) look at 'Favourites' in either Here Drive or Here Maps. Any synching between...

From some little research I have just carried out, it would appear that the WP8.1 Map App cannot sync with the 'Places' in Bing Maps. So, whilst I endorse the condemnation of 'Here', for not enabling integration with the Maps app in WP8.1, surely this must pale in comparison to the Microsoft...

How does one "log in" to the maps app? I can see no option for that. I can open it, is that what you mean?

"MS Maps (via Bing) allows you to import your favourites." OK, and always being keen to learn anything, how do I do this? One of the reasons I am so miffed about the change in maps, is because I have been here before. I had hundreds and hundreds of place marks in Google Earth (and still use...

I will not argue with your point since, frankly, I do not care who is at fault. MS have a license for Here Maps and bought Nokia, which integrated 'Here' into the Lumia phones, which Microsoft bought. If I buy (or own) a Lumia, I now have a Microsoft phone. If that phone is deficient, then I...

I do not have Cortana yet, only WP8.1 from the UK, so, I can only talk from what I suspect will be the case, based on the options available and reading "How-to" articles. From this, it seems to me that the main problem is NOT directional guidance; since, as people have already pointed out, one...
