Just as an FYI for those considering this, Microsoft's new update tool allows you to take a Lumia 925 to Windows 10 Mobile: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-has-released-a-tool-to-keep-eligible-windows-phones-up-to-date I used this on mine, and it took me to release 10.0.10586.71...

My daily driver, since consolidating my wife's phone service and mine onto Sprint (which was her carrier) is an HTC 8XT, replacing the BLU Win HD LTE I had used as my main phone, and the Lumia 925 I had as a backup. The loss of Skype and Facebook Messenger support is the only thing that I'm...

Say what now? When/where was that announced? I saw that they were discontinuing support for Windows 8.0 later this year, but not 8.1.

The Lumia 925 is still a fantastic phone, though mine has a slight burn-in on the screen of the bottom menu bar from IE. The only things keeping it from being a perfect phone are the lack of a MicroSD card slot and a non-swappable battery. I've got one I use with Kid's Corner as a backup...

Right. The Lumia 635 512mb is the only Windows phone on Sprint that can run Windows 10 Mobile, and it's a bit of a hot mess. It's usable, though not entirely stable, as long as you don't update to Anniversary Update. If you do, what little stability it has goes right out the window. I'm also...

Exact same thing I found, unfortunately.

Lumia 530 has 480x854 resolution.

Done. Nothing we don't know or haven't already tried.

To install 14393.1066, did you have to use the Windows Device Recovery Tool?

I suspect the degree to which BLU appears to have dropped support for their Windows phones may have something to do with it. I could find no mention that they'd ever supported anything other than Android phones on their website.

Doesn't look like it, no. Very limited number of handsets getting the update.

I first noticed it this morning. Not fixed at this time, and there's a thread on the /r/Windowsphone Reddit that makes it sound like it's a widespread issue today.

I've noticed a similar problem with an established phone running Windows Phone 8.1 (my main phone), trying to open the Store, where I get error code 805a01f7. I don't get the error on a Windows 10 Mobile device.

Just started getting the following error in the Store on my HTC 8XT this morning: Service not available The Store isn't available at the moment. Please check back in a bit. Inquiring minds might find this error code helpful: 805a01f7 Anyone else having the same issue?

Wait, what? You can't update at all after AU is installed on the HD LTE? I thought it was just preview builds.
