    W10M Barclays app will stop working on Feb'18

    Totaly agree with v0ha on this, the Barclays Banking app was one of the jewels of the MSFT Mobile apps, just what was needed and worked really well. It is really disappointing Barclays are pulling shortly but not surprising given MSFT A**h*les abandoned their mobile platform. Never trust them...

    14332 update failing on Lumia 830 - Error 0x80070002

    I know this is an old thread and WP10 has been abandoned by MSFT but received error 80070002 today trying to install update 1709 to my Lumia 640LTE so posting this for any others who still get this old error. For background I came off the Insider Preview ring after the last major update so...

    Virus via Bluetooth

    Unfortunately although most computers and mobile phones are easy to protect and usually require authorised pairing for bluetooth devices there are far too many TV's, loudspeakers and other devices that have auto-pairing and the manufacturers of these types of devices are unlikely to supply...

    Mail Notification Sound Not Working after Win 10 Update - Lumia 640 XL

    This worked for me, for now! Ensure all of the above have been done. Unlink my two email accounts. Set volume to 8. Delete non Outlook email account. Soft reset. Confirm Outlook account now gets new email notification sound. Add non MSFT account & setup all settings for notifications as posts...

    Barclays mobile banking app issues

    Barclays issued an app update today and it now works again! Great service from Barclays to fix this so quickly after Microsoft trashed their app with the Creators Update. Let's hope the next 'update' from MSFT doesn't break it again!

    Barclays mobile banking app issues

    Was one of the best apps for this obsolete phone OS. Sadly whenever MSFT 'update' the phone the Barclays app is incapable of recognising the 'new' version - so it just refuses to run. Barclays are 'very sorry' and are working to fix it, blah blah blah, but will give no date for this happening -...

    Lumia 640 XL Bugs + Defects

    Creators update on my Lumia 640 LTE broke the following: 1 New email notification sounds no longer work at all. 2 Custom ringtone & text time for individual contacts in People no longer sound when they phone. Those settings have vanished. 3 Edge browser now has microscopic, unreadable font/text...

    Mail Notification Sound Not Working after Win 10 Update - Lumia 640 XL

    Guess what another 'update' and two step backwards for W10M again. The new email notification sounds have been screwed up again after the pointless 'creators update'. Tips here and elsewhere do not work for most people and it seems the luck of the draw if this useful feature ever works...

    Barclays mobile banking app issues

    Same here, app broken after Creators Update last night. Told by help desk person at Barclays mobile to try again in a couple of hours when it should be fixed. Don't know how that is supposed to work if the app needs an update but will try again later. If not fixed soon then like many others will...

    Barclays Mobile App may be broken by Creative Update

    Receive update last night on my W10M Lumia 640 LTE, apart from screwing up the browser font size (with no way to adjust without screwing up the start screen size) it seemed just as before. That was until I tried to open my Barclays Bank app and got a "this app does not work on Jail Broken...

    Icon driver error on Windows 10

    Seems the Anniversary update breaks MTP thingy or something so after faffing around with all the usual useless 'fixes' on the web like re-installing drivers etc. I found this fix which worked for me: Go to C:\Windows\INF\ and search for wpdmtp.inf Right click it and select Install. That's it...

    Does the 640 have Hey Cortana?

    Hey Cortana is not available now on my WP10 AU L640 LTE in the UK but is working nicely on the home PC. In fact 'she' listens in all the time it seems. Last night while watching a movie on TV Cortana 'woke' up the sleeping laptop to announce 'she' was going to load 'Maps' - which 'she' duly did...

    Outlook email not found in Settings Notifications. Where is it?

    Re: Outlook email not found in Settings > Notifications My partner' L640 LTE was also missing the Linked Email app in the app list for managing applications although the Outlook app was there. Found that after sending emails to both her linked accounts this triggered the Linked Email to appear...

    Anyone else not hearing notification sounds?

    Followed those settings exactly and it still did not work. Gave up and went to bed. Next morning, miracles, email sound notifications working again!. No idea why this took so long to 'engage' but just glad it is working properly now on my Lumia 640 LTE. Sadly my partner's L640 LTE still only...

    Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update Issues

    So who thought starting alarms low was a good idea! By the time my alarms are audible the event is passed and I've missed it.
