I am a sucker for punishment is what I think I am. I keep my 950XL as a daily driver. Worse, my L1020 comes along for photo duty very now and then also. Microsoft first murdered my L1020 and has then subsequently been doing a terrific job of killing my 950XL also. A masochist is what I am...

How did you go about opening it up and reassembling. My 1020 has been so increasingly crippled by each successive Win 10 update that it is pretty unusable. Last weeks patches made it as slow as can be. Like most apps take many minutes to simply load after booting, and pressing the Lumia Camera...

eBay Seller: istore_trade88 Desc: Microsoft Nokia Lumia 950 XL 32GB (RM-1116) Dual Sim 5.7'' 20MP Windows Phone 10 Good hunting and Happy Holidays!

And I sank deeper into WM wilderness Microsoft's updates had "zombied" my already aging L1020. Critically, my most desired trait, its camera, had lost speed and reliability due to the security updates issued since January 2018. The rest of its desired traits, work apps stuff, was also badly...

Despite all efforts by Microsoft to make it worthless , I still use my Lumia 1020 as a daily driver. It still can do unbeatable hi-rez pictures (with some nursing) via Nokia/Lumia app -- which is my key reason to use it. Clunky as it is becoming, the phone ties to Windows 10 & Office better than...

While I do understand a "strategic retreat", I do wonder if Nadella, and all there, know that Microsoft HAS TO return [and seriously] to the phone business soon. The penalty for not doing so could be realized too late. It could be the stuff historic corporate stumbles are made of. To be sure...

Earlier this week, 10.0.15254.490 (security related) got pushed into my Lumia 1020 and it has created major headaches for me. Don't know about other models but it does not sound like it's been a problem for them. However, if you notice changes in your phone's behavior this week, let's bring it...

moving it one level up

No one commented on my post about .489 so I hope no one else got affected. Now, despite my efforts not to have any new updates, 10.0.15254.490 was pushed in. just a few days ago. This one killed Outlook mail and erased Lumia Camera from my Lumia 1020. I have since tricked the phone into...

Insider update on Lumia 1020. This is stranger still because in order to get any previous updates, I first had to change the phone's L1020 id specs in the Registry to "impersonate" the Lumia 950. After each update, I would switch back to L1020 id. This way, I THOUGHT, unwanted automatic...

While I don't usually have problems having my L1020 recognized by Win10, I do have other problems. In any event, I usually solve these by using FTP to transfer files, which is surprisingly fast. There is probably a minor downside to FTP, fast as it can be. The FTP apps may change the file...

Thanks. This worked for me. Got .249 into my L1020 (while masquerading as a 950). While it does seem to be slightly snappier than the previous .158 that I had, it is is too early to tell if this will hold. Otherwise, it doesn't sees to have done any good but at least no bad either.

Just a marker from another 1020 diehard :)

Bummer! I thought Interop Tools would work on the x3 also. I think that's what allowed for "Never" to become an available option in my L1020.

Neat! I may want to try this later. Tks On a humorous note, you do know that you can defeat the sleep function, right? It beats having to spend a day and a half keeping a finger on the screen to avoid the phone from sleeping.[ :smile: I know, I know...I just couldn't resist! LOL]
