    How to check and force a Windows 10 upgrade

    Downloaded Windows 10 and waiting. On a SP3. If you check c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.txt, you'll notice the following update popping back and forth: ------------------------------------- 2015-07-29 09:23:10:379 1020 f88 Agent ************* 2015-07-29 09:23:10:379 1020 f88 Agent ** START **...

    We are currently unable to check for the updates (800072ee2)

    I have a HK 1020 in HK and was experiencing the same error. I just kept trying and it eventually downloaded the update. Maybe just a congested server.

    Surface Pro availability in Europe?

    The UK Surface Pro site has been updated slightly (Surface with Windows 8 Pro is powerful) since the last time I checked. It now lists a blank price, i.e. "Starting at ?..." I'm probably a bit too eager, but it's a good sign if you ask me. At least we know it'll be sold in ?'s here in the UK ;)

    (new Nokia care suit) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install)

    Re: (4 new Pcodes) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install) I updated mine purely because I purchased my 920 in Singapore, but I live in the UK. So in theory it should mean that I get future updates provisioned for the UK and optimizations for UK (e.g. LTE).

    (new Nokia care suit) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install)

    Re: (4 new Pcodes) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install) Again I don't want to jinx it, but I've had amazing battery life with my 920 since I got it (on 25th Dec). There was an instant when my "time left until next charged" showed something like 8 days of...

    (new Nokia care suit) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install)

    Re: (4 new Pcodes) How to: get the Portico update for the Global Lumia 920. (Clean install) Flashed my white Singapore Lumia 920 yesterday with CV_GB firmware and (fingers crossed) I'm experiencing no problems.

    UK Stock will be arriving at Clove tomorrow.

    My understanding is that this is limited to P4U and EE purchased phones only. Apparently each of the P4U and EE boxes come with a sticker on them with a code. That code would be entered into the above site to get the wireless charging plate. I've been keeping up with the overclockers.co.uk...

    UK Stock will be arriving at Clove tomorrow.

    Was really excited to receive the email from them, but then after checking out it on their site they're charging ?520 incl VAT. That's an insane amount of money when others are charging ?470 incl VAT (admittedly locked). At least with the latter you get a wireless charging plate and a colour...

    Headphones w/ inline remote?

    So to add to this, I tried a set of on-ear Nokia Purity Headphones at CarPhoneWarehouse in Ealing. The inline remote works well. Volume works well and there is a single button. You can play/pause (single click), fast foward (two clicks), rewind (three clicks). For ?200 though, the sound...

    Headphones w/ inline remote?

    Hi Guys, Wondering anyone could give me some ideas on this one. I'm looking for a set of good quality in-ear headphones with an inline remote that works on a Nokia Lumia 800. So that means the forward/backwards/play buttons work and potentially volume control. I know Nokia has the Purity...
