    Found information on the font issue in the "Lumia 830 and Windows 10" thread. Sorry for not checking there first, and thanks to KefKef, et al.!

    Windows 10 on Lumia 830 : yes or no, is it ready, any major bugs?

    Hi, folks. I'm the Nervous Nelly type and will almost certainly wait for the official carrier release (AT&T) before making the switch. But I'm curious about a comment by at least a couple of you above regarding the font in W10. Readability is a BIG issue for my aging eyes, even with trifocals...

    Why has my Nokia Lumia 830 started giving me a slow charge message?

    Re: Nokia Lumia 830 has started giving me a slow charge message. I'm having the same issue with my ATT Lumia 830. It seems to have started around the time of the 8.1 Update 2 ("full" Denim). As in the original post, it happens randomly, even with the OEM charger & cable. I haven't noticed a...

    BlackBerry Priv has the design I was looking for on WM10

    Seriously! I had no idea the Venue Pro existed until I read this thread today. Had I been aware, I'd have jumped for it. I finally bailed on my beloved Torch a year ago when the screen became too small for my aging eyes. At the time, BB's promises re: the Passport were unreliable. I've had a...

    How To: Flash ATT Lumia 830 (RM-983) with 8.1 Update 2 and Proper Denim

    Meanwhile MS again shows its lack of shame/understanding/etc. After owning my 830 for nearly a year, today I received out of the blue a "Welcome to Lumia!" email. It had a link to keep my software "up to date". Of course it led to the usual site that shows only the 985 variant. Grr. I did use...

    How To: Flash ATT Lumia 830 (RM-983) with 8.1 Update 2 and Proper Denim

    The level of help you folks are providing is amazing. I'm normally reluctant to use anything not officially pushed out. But given that this update WAS published by the carrier (however briefly), I'm leaning toward giving it a try. Could someone who has gone this route answer a couple of basic...

    When will AT&T Lumia 830 get PROPER Denim update?

    You might want to check AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, 563 U.S. 321 (2011). I haven't read (or Shepardized) it recently. But, sadly, I believe AT&T won that one.

    AT&T Push of Windows 10 to L830

    Perhaps, but according to the MS FAQ website "Will Windows 10 update be available for my Lumia phone?" the outlook for those of us stuck with the AT&T variant looks pretty bleak: "Only phones running Lumia Denim (OS version 8.10.14219.341, or higher) can take advantage of the upgrade to Windows...

    Buying a Carrier Locked Phone from the Microsoft Store

    Just bought my Lumia 830 from a Microsoft store a week ago, as the local AT&T stores had none in stock. I was given the same options as on the store (2 year contract vs Next). I chose the latter, but saw no reason why you wouldn't be able to handle your contract extension as if you bought it...

    [L830] MicroSD card slot issue?

    Had the same problem with my 830 yesterday. If you look at the slot carefully (I needed a magnifying glass), you'll see the path has a curved slope. So if you slide the card out halfway, it gets almost impossible to slip your fingernail or tweezers underneath. I got mine out by first pushing...
