FYI, exact same thing happened again for me today as last month. So possibly the new normal with these updates on my phone at least. Same approach worked again as nothing at all was happening when on the charger. Taking it off the charger, pressing and holding the power got me the Windows sign...

Just thought I'd post in case anyone else has a similar problem. When I went to sleep last night, my Icon was updating to whatever the latest release was. I'm on regular W10, have never been on the Developer program. I saw Spinning Gears prior to falling asleep so I know the process had started...

I didn't realize that, thought that was put on both the 735 and the Icon. I like double tap to wake, but realize Hey Cortana could wake the phone for you as well. Is Hey Cortana a big drain on the battery? Seems like it would be.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that, but I think you could definitely be right about this. As I'm trying to decide which one to go with, I feel as if I am noticing more issues being mentioned on the Icon as opposed to the 735 with the W10 AU update. I'm sure people with both have run...

I shattered the screen on my 928 and I'm choosing between a 735 and the Icon. I've been through a ton of threads reading what others did and seeing which one would be the best choice, but sometimes it seems to me a good deal of people responding - get the Icon - are saying so because it's the...

I'm choosing between a 735 and Icon on Verizon. If the 830 was an option I would go for that immediately because it has Glance and has a Pureview camera with Zeiss optics and has OIS.

Have you already used an iPhone to do much? Because if you can, I'd try to use a friend's for a bit, not a minute, but like an hour. Play around with it and see if you like it. Everyone around me has an iPhone, so claims of how much better the experience is on the iPhone ring false for me. I use...

I tried updating several times and although it downloads fine, the installation runs into problems and I keep getting 80188308 errors. Not completely sure what to make of this. As long as it doesn't cause a problem, I guess I'll just continue using the phone getting the annoying update reminders...

I got the alert starting yesterday afternoon, was also wondering what was in it and have been waiting for an article about it. So, this is just about reboots? If it's nothing major, I can do it today, if more significant, I'll wait until I'm back from weekend vaca.

Are they seriously asking people to pay for it again who already did? I'm suddenly not getting notifications as of about two days ago. I can't figure out which other app has reliable push notifications for gmail. If they wanted more money, it would have been much more honest to institute a...

I'm having the same problem. I also restarted the phone and I'm still having the same problem. I wish I had never uninstalled it now because I can't even use the older app at the moment and don't know how to contact the dev to let them know.

Re: Nokia Lumia 928 battery life post windows 8.1/ denim upgrade Not sure about the gmail sync thing, but for battery life, have you looked in usage to see how your battery is draining? Have you disabled your background tasks? The upgrade basically reset all the previous tasks I had disabled...

Smooth that was not, but the I now have 8.1 Denim running on my phone. I do think there may have been another update the other day in preparation for the big one because the size of that download versus today's were definitely different, the other was much, much smaller. Also, this time, I got a...

I wondered that as well, I'm also upgrading from Lumia Black 8.0 and I know most on here already had 8.1 and were mostly grabbing the firmware. I'll keep the tip in mind about an SD card. The 928 doesn't have one, but hopefully the next one I get will have one, so still good to know. In terms...

Not really sure what to think at this point. The good news is that my phone is on and operating, which is all I need at this point. But it hasn't updated to 8.1/Denim. It was on the spinning cogs for 1 hour and 40 minutes. When it came fully back on, it said my phone was ready for an update and...
