All these woes were enough that i dumped the nokia icon.. i've since switched to the s6 active phone.. went from straight talk restricted 8mbit downloads to 75 mbit/sec (not a typo).. the phone is super fast both on the downloading and interface not to mention everything actually works :)...

As of now I've updated the phone to 10.0.10586.63.. Despite recent updates to .63, i continue to have many issues with 10.. enough that i'm considering jumping ship to an android s5 or s6 at this point.. (yeah i realize this is still technically mostly beta, however, its mature enough at this...

More trial and error.. I determined that the cause of my 7% per hour drop is actually from adding my gmail account to the outlook app. (i also had exchange associated, but removed it, it still drained at 7%) I'm not 100% if its because i was syncing around 8 or 9 folders or not. I had...

So i have interesting results from some recent testing.. As i've been able to show, my nokia 1020 with everything installed/pinned and set up on windows 10 (now 10581.11) discharges at the rate of about 7% per hour, basically not touching it. I picked up two new nokia 929 phones.. On the one...

Strangely, at least on the one phone.. left it idle for over 5 hours, it only went down 1-2%.. a very good rate (win 8.1 so far in this test).. compared to my nokia 1020 which has been horrible on stanby (at least with win 10).. This phone also has the charge issue.. i think its only a charge...

I just wanted to pass along my mini story about issues i've had in the last day or so in dealing with straight talk and their activation kits (sim cards). My fiance and I had a few old nokia phones.. an 820 and nokia 1020.. migrated to a nokia icon, two of them (which is verizon).. the old...

I don't think the battery can be changed. Probably a dud then from early stock

I just picked up two new nokia icons off ebay.. it was listed as new at least.. came in a box etc.. If i plug it in to charge.. it charges at about 1% per hour if that.. turn the screen on and it drops several percent,. use it unplugged and it rapidly discharges maybe 15% or more in a very...

Same here on nokia 1020

Since updating to the latest version (and doing a hard reset and restoring data from backup).. about 20-30 of my apps wont update.. they have that error code.. Things ranging from access point to audio, to lumia camera, to network services.. Anyone ran into this and found a fix? Thanks

Same issue here w 10586.11. Attachments in general and options to download full email body fail Did u find a fix Works w exchange though

I'm curious with the Icon.. on windows 8.1 vs 10 (1511 build).. how is the battery life at the end of a workday with minimal use? IE: 30%, 60% etc? (after 8 hours) How long does it take to fully recharge an icon? I'm moving from the 1020 to the 929 icon (most likely.. cant really justify the...

Hey there.. Side question, not related to your sound one, but.. with gmail, are you able to view attached pictures or files.. or for that matter.. emails where the content says click here to view full message.. does that work for you? On mine i cant get attachments, full messages to work for...

Is anyone else having this gmail issue with attachments.. and downloading message content? Still is an issue with 1511.. makes the email app almost worthless, because you either cant view attachments or cant see the whole message.

Looks like to transfer existing service i would just need this $0.99 cent sim card? i've already pre-paid for 6 months of service, so i'm assuming they just port the number over via chat or a phone call once this sim is in place.
