Hey guys I wanted to get my brothers lumia 830 onto CU because he has a lot of problems on the anniversary update. I'm hoping at least some bugs are fixed. The windows insider programme just points to a page to update windows 10 for PC. Is there anyway to get CU on the phone or was the fast...

Thanks for your help. A factory reset kept putting me back into windows insider and the apps on the sd card were installed but the movie ones were ignored. I guess because it tried to acquire the license from the store or they are marked as bad apps. I had to use the lumia tool to reset to...

It shows in my library but it's gone when I tap it. I'm going to move them to my SDcard. If I format will it find all my apps in the sdcard when it loads back up?

It's an app that MS took down which plays free movies. I don't use it much but it's nice to have from time to time. Sometimes I'll watch a movie before considering the bluray.

Yes but I don't want to use the nokia tool to format or lose my stuff. I can backup everything but there are apps that got removed. That's the only reason i got the interop tools. Is there a way to take an installed app on your phone and turn it back into an appx file for install through...

It seems to work for changing other values so i thought that it may do a check to see if it's insider and then that will override any changes. It's an unlocked phone I bought straight from MS. 950XL in Canada. I do have the region set to U.S. though because the store is much better for real...

This keeps going back to 3 for me. Are you on insider? I'm trying to get out of insider and remove all diagnostics without formatting because I have apps that no longer exist.

Are people still doing insider? I'm trying to remove myself but obviously have to lose everything as MS does not give an easy option to get out of insider like in the past. I don't think it's worth it anymore as they are just using insiders to collect as much data as possible.

I think that material design icons of newer Android versions look great. They add some depth to the icons and make them easy to find. Tiles are like looking at an advertisement page in a newspaper. I find it hard to find things sometimes and am forced to turn off live tiles and try to keep...

The whole point is that you are stuck with windows tiles for windows phone. In fact, many people I know think they are dull. Even people who use windows 10 desktop complain about them. They are outdated to a lot of people including me. So it's a niche audience. Android on the other hand is...

The idea is that hardware will not be the limitation. And when someone develops a UWP app the app does not need to have extra work done for specific hardware. There won't be any checkmarks simply the scaling will happen as part of the 1 OS. Developers won't have to worry about the extra work...

Windows 10 mobile is closed source and has no api to create great themes and UI. Android on the other hand is open source and lets you do anything. So when you look at some of the android UI's out there, including windows themes that change everything even settings and add live tiles, you...

I had a really good meal tracking app that connected to an awesome database and let me do so much. Paid 5.99. Dev dumped it and it's no longer useful for me. Only thing i bought since the W10m fiasco is a game on UWP. Mostly because it was cheaper from ms store than steam. But I still use...

For sure. If someone at the company goes "I got a great idea to lose lots of money and have our stocks plummet".

It's a great camera. The camera wars are really silly in my opinion. Cameras have gotten so good on smartphones that people literally have to do insane side by side comparisons and crazy tests to prove one is better than another. If you're doing that, it means they are both great. No one...
