    830 in-call mic stopped working.

    Where are they then, KefKef? There is what appears to be a microphone hole above the rear camera lens. I'd like to know what mic the speakerphone is using.

    Why has the FM Radio been removed from my phone?

    How could Microsoft possibly know the FM Radio app was getting 'low usage' when it doesn't require a network or internet connection? As far as I am concerned it is part of the phone, regardless of what operating system is in place. Still no excuse for removing it without notice!

    Why has the FM Radio been removed from my phone?

    I went to use the FM Radio on my Lumia 830 recently and it wasn't there. A search of threads seems to suggest the FM radio 'app' would have been removed in a recent 'upgrade' to Windows 10. Since when is the FM Radio on a phone an 'app' that can be removed at the whim of a software upgrade...

    830 in-call mic stopped working.

    My Nokia 830 (approx 20 months old) has started doing this during the past few days. Microphone works for apps like Shazzam & Voice Recorder, but not for incoming calls or Cortana. Will work on speaker phone or if i use a wired headset. What solutions have anybody found that works? If this is a...

    After upgrading Lumia 830 to Windows 10 tiles for pinned webpage links show a solid colour only.

    Thanks, I can see that now on a PC. Any idea how I could do that on a Mobile Phone?

    After upgrading Lumia 830 to Windows 10 tiles for pinned webpage links show a solid colour only.

    My son actually mentioned that (html5) as a possibility last week. How would I be able to verify that on individual sites? For now, I have downloaded the 'Surfy' Browser on my phone and - presto! - I can pin tiles with images from it. The resolution of the images is poor, but at least they are...

    After upgrading Lumia 830 to Windows 10 tiles for pinned webpage links show a solid colour only.

    Think it's a bit rude for MS to remove IE without asking my permission. Can anyone recommend an alternate browser to Edge for Windows Phone? And would an alternate browser have the pin to start option? So far, I have found only one website that I pinned to start that will give an image. it is...

    After upgrading Lumia 830 to Windows 10 tiles for pinned webpage links show a solid colour only.

    Can I get Internet Explorer back, or has it been wiped? I didn't lose IE when I upgraded my PCs to Windows 10, so it should still be on my phone, too.

    After upgrading Lumia 830 to Windows 10 tiles for pinned webpage links show a solid colour only.

    No go, the tiles are still a solid colour after re-pinning. Am I to believe that IE had an 'edge' (Pun intended) over Edge in that no matter what page was pinned to the start menu on Windows phone 8.1, an image was always shown? Now all I get if I pin a webpage to the start menu is a small...

    Why does my phone show a security lock after charging for 2 hours?

    Thanks to Deepak's solution my Lumia 830 is unlocked again. http://forums.windowscentral.com/images/smilies/wpcentral20/smile.png Hoping now to see an end to other issues I've had since upgrading to Windows 10 a couple of days ago. Most annoying is constant restarts for no apparant reason. e.g...
