    Lumia 830 and Windows 10

    Since moving to the release preview ring on the insiders preview and moving from 10586.494 to 14393.5 the last app that was causing me an issue with moving to 225% text size in the display settings was the ebay app, amazon had been removed as it was being retired and I've stopped using the older...

    Screen Blinking still present on W10M

    Wow! I'd forgotten what it was like to use my 830 without the screen blinking and tearing but I've just had a good run and it is still holding up. After seeing post number 13 by user triageatdawn in the thread "AT&T Lumia 830 Downloading W10", I thought I would come off production 10586.494 and...

    Screen Blinking still present on W10M

    I think (like you) the only reason I would go back to WP8.1 now is to sell it on eBay, which I might be doing as it is looking more and more unlikely that it is ever going to be fixed, I've had android mobiles and they are fine but I just prefer WP/WM. If you do look at an android I'd recommend...

    Screen Blinking still present on W10M

    I do have Cortana enabled but I don't have it pinned to my start menu. Yes it is odd you have no screen tearing and it is almost always present with mine. I am also getting that feeling that we will never see a fix, we've moved entirely through Threshold with it and I'm sure I've read comments...

    Screen Blinking still present on W10M

    I can't speak for KefKef but I have hard reset W10M and it didn't make any difference, screen blinking and tearing still present. It's a strange issue, you can have good days and really bad ones, the tearing is almost always present as you can see it on your start screen when scrolling up your...

    Screen Blinking still present on W10M

    I feel your pain, I really like my Lumia 830 and W10M for the most part but this screen blinking and tearing towards the top of the display is very frustrating. It would be good to get some feedback from MS about it, I've reported my issue in the feedback system back when I was on the insider...

    Any reason to keep waiting?

    Keep in mine that with an 830 you'll almost certainly run into this; W10M Insider Preview - AT&T 830 Random Screen Blinking - Microsoft Community I suppose it depends how much the screen blinking issue will bother you, it's not just related to the AT&T version, the European versions seem to be...

    Questions about screen blackouts on Lumia 830?

    Re: Questions about screen blackouts on Lumia 830 My answers. 1. Yes 2. NA (don't know) 3. 2-6 Times a day See it virtually every day on mine, RM-984, CV GBIE rom with the latest firmware whatever that is, certainly no update available. It never happens on WP8.1 and has always happened on...

    Lumia 830 and Windows 10

    I had upped my "Display --> Size of text" from 200% to the max of 225%, it is just better for me like this as my eyes aren't what they used to be, after making that change I'm downloading all the updates but I've already been into Amazon, Ebay and the old WC app and signed into all of them...

    Lumia 830 and Windows 10

    Like anton above I'll post some more observations: 1. I went to perform a search in the Amazon app, all I seemed to get was a black/blank screen. I've since performed a factory reset as I am in the middle of a PAC code transfer so thought I'd see if that did anything, not just for this though...

    Lumia 830 and Windows 10

    For the most part I'm happy with W10M, I've previously been on the Insider Preview so had seen earlier builds but always rolled back to WP8.1 for one reason or another. Two things that are bugging the hell out of me are the screen blinking which still isn't fixed, certainly not for my CV GBIE...

    MSN Sport back to it's old tricks

    I've got the same problem, I've had "Martial stops United rot..." for a few days now. I don't think it's a live tile issue though, if I go into the sports app that story is still listed at the top and I'm sure that is what the live tile picks up on, what someone who works on the app needs to do...

    Where can I find a shell powerbank for my Nokia 830?

    Re: where can I find a shell powerbank for my nokia 830?? I'm pretty sure this wouldn't harm your device but you could also try the Lumia 535 battery, it is slightly less capacity wise but you should be able to find it a good bit cheaper, the 535 uses a BL-L4A as opposed to the BV-L4A and I...

    Why is Windows Central so slow?

    Spot on, been thinking about posting on this very topic for quite some time but never bothered, visit the site less now to avoid the painfully slow loading and as xandros9 said below, around 2fps scrolling (If the browser doesn't crash). I don't use an adblocker in any of my browsers, my PC is a...

    W10M Insider Bugs & Defects Thread (pre 10586.164)

    re: W10M Insider Bugs & Defects Thread Running the latest 10581 as an update from 8.1 Update2, no hard reset after the update and working reasonable well. I don't know if this is a bug or not, can't ever remember if this happened on 8.1 on my 830. The volume buttons work and adjust volume even...
